I really wanted to love this place since it is (to my knowledge) the only Northern-style Chinese restaurant in Kingston. I ordered the braised pork noodle soup as well as BBQ'd cabbage and enoki mushrooms. While the BBQ and the soup broth were flavourful, I found that the braised pork itself was quite dry and tough. Would also like to mention that I got yelled at by the server as I was leaving as, instead of glancing at my table to see the money I left (which was clearly visible), they assumed that I had not paid my bill and nearly chased me...as someone who works in the industry, I understand that walk-outs do indeed happen, but it's not like I had been acting suspiciously or had been in a hurry to sneak out of there. Rather, I had taken the time to loudly say thank you and announce I was leaving.

Stopped here for lunch after my workout, and it was really good! I'm not SUPER knowledgeable about Northern Chinese food specifically, but I know it contains cumin, spices and a lot of dumplings. I got the charcoal bbq lamb shank, and 10 chicken dumplings. The bbq lamb was good, with a tiny bit of spice, but there wasn't a ton of meat on it. The dumplings had a solid flavour but the wrapper was very thick. I DO, however, appreciate the black vinegar they served with the dumplings. Definitely half decent for a lunch if you're craving dumplings, but the lamb isn't really worth $11.

I had dinner with my family. We ordered 5 dishes and all of them are delicious. I will go back there when I visit Kingston next time.

Well, let's just say, never again…read more While this is a bustling business, it was very disappointing. Service was fine, but the food is awful. I tried the coconut shrimp, prime, rib, grilled steak, meat with vegetables, some kind of chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and had a salad. Let's start with a salad. The ingredients are fine most of it fresh. The salad dressing was horrible. That's the only reason why I didn't like it. Otherwise a salad bar was pretty decent. The meat on the other hand were big no. I don't know what they put or sauté their stirfry meat with, but it has a slimy consistency to it. It's disgusting. MSG? I don't know what it is but it's gross. The grilled steak would've been fine had it not been cold. The prime rib would've also been fine, had it too not been cold, and too raw. But let's face it why are these even on the menu when it's supposed to be "Mandarin" cuisine? Too too many non-Asian food choices. Maybe if they didn't spread their buffet too thin with unnecessary ( European) items, maybe the quality would be there. Then there is the dessert, again what is this slimy, icky texture to this food? I tried two desserts. The crème brûlée was actually pretty decent. But the chocolate cake, was slimy. Again, I don't know what they put on their food, but it's all got this gelatin like texture to it. So, no, I'll pass. I know what good food tastes like. Even a buffet can have good, quality food. And this place is not it.
