To satisfy food hunger while not spending too much, this is the place. Our group of 4 was perfectly fed for a bill price hovering around $100. I also appreciate how they have unique food items on rotation that they wheel around the restaurant in carts. They would ask if you would be interested in the food they have available. We had bean curd tofu, and siomai among many others. I wish they have more sweet sauce available on the side for the bean curd. The siomai was good and stuffed. Price value of the food was excellent. Their service was not. For a non-Chinese speaking customer, you would get the bare essentials service. You can place an order, ask for utensils, get your food served, and ask for the bill. For anything else like asking for food recommendations or a description of what the food is or clarification of the menu item, you are out of luck. Our server had difficulty communicating properly in English. When we asked if we can have more of the black sweet sauce for the beancurd, our waiter just gave us some soy sauce. read more

Service 4/5 Food 4/5 Ambience 3.75/5 This is a casual family style restaurant offering a dinner and dim sum menu. We attended a dinner on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was very accommodating with the size of our group. We were to be 17 but changed to 13 people at the last minute. Our reservation was for 5:00pm. They offered a large table to seat 10 and the table beside to seat up to 7. We decided to squeeze all 13 onto the table for ten. It was a tight squeeze but we would be able to see everyone. Our friends did the ordering for the meal. We had a ton of dishes coming out with several dishes coming at the same time and no space left on the lazy susan for all the food. We had to leave a few of the dishes on another vacant table behind our table until there was space for those dishes of food. We wanted to order the oysters but that was already sold out. We had a total of 17 dishes ordered and no leftovers (wow!) My favourite dishes of the evening: - [ ] Peking duck. The wraps were super soft and thin. The duck skin was crispy which I really enjoy. - [ ] Salt pepper fried calamari - [ ] Dry lobster - [ ] Lobster on E-Fu noodles - [ ] Stir fried spicy calamari with vegetables, in a crisp noodle basket, crunchy snap peas - [ ] Snow pea tips topped with bean curd sheets I gave the restaurant a 4* overall because of our dinner experience and service. Note: There is a bottle fee of $15 for every two bottles of wine. We actually wanted to attend for the crab dinner special but it is only offered Monday to Friday. The restaurant was very relaxed about letting our group stay to almost 9pm. Parking is available right outside of the entrance and around the side of the restaurant. read more

Despite a sea of 2-,3-, and 4 star reviews, I'm going to leave a 5-star review here because of my experience: The food was delicious (my favorite dish was the lobster seasoned in black bean sauce), the prices are pretty reasonable and my family and I had a wonderful time eating here. The service is efficient and fast, and the table we were seated at was clean and with enough room to accommodate for a walker. read more

Honestly the food is probably a 3-star but they get an extra star for being open 24 hrs and one of the og restaurants that serve dim sum and assorted Chinese food when you need somewhere to eat late at night. Came here just before midnight and the service was quick and to the point. We ordered some dim sum and a bowl of noodles, all food came out hot and quickly which is exactly what was needed. Pretty much hits the late night food cravings need. Lots of people also around during that time so it felt safe and familiar. read more

The Perfect Chinese Restaurant - Beef noodles with dim sum plates. - Dim Sum Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is THE Perfect 24-hour dim sum restaurant in Toronto... because it's the only one! Having been around since the 1980s this restaurant is almost legendary. Unfortunately it seems stuck in the old ages and has since built itself a reputation of being dingy and serving poorer quality food. With so many other better Chinese restaurants having opened since and Chinese people being notorious for flocking to where better food is, I wonder how much longer this establishment can survive. Nevertheless, it is handy to have this 24-hour option located in the middle of Scarborough and they do have a fairly large selection of dim sum and dinner options served throughout the day. Having been here for dinner and lunch, I would say that the dinner plates are better overall, such as the lobster being decent. In general though, this restaurant is a far cry from perfect, and is more like a cheap and somewhat cheerful cultural legacy that has lots of seating, lots of history, but underwhelming food. read more

Perfect Chinese Restaurant has been serving reliable dim sum for decades. I enjoy ordering takeout dim sum for the family occasionally. It's fairly priced, tasty and delicious. Mandatory tea charge of $1 dollar per person which is customary. They offer dine in only Lunch specials (11AM-3PM) which are an excellent deal for only $10-12, choose from: Yang Chow Fried Rice Fried Shanghai Noodles with Pork & Shrimp Fried Noodles Stir Fried Sticky Rice Fried Rice Noodle with Beef & Soya Sauce Each restaurant has its endearing quirks. Most customers are good-natured, tolerant people. Get to know what to expect and you might like it here. read more

The dim sum at Perfect Chinese Restaurant was mediocre in terms of quality and taste. The rice rolls were quite tasty though. The service was quick, though the servers forgot to bring the chicken feet. We had to remind the waitress that we ordered the chicken feet. The atmosphere is quite casual and it's a decent place to bring your family, though I would normally prefer a nicer ambiance compared to this. read more

Perfect Chinese Restaurant has been a Scarborough institution since 1984, serving up Cantonese dishes 24hrs a day. I've been here many times over the years, whether for dim sum, lunch, dinner, or late night after-party dining. The craving always gets satisfied! This time around, with family, we came for dim sum, and we stuffed ourselves! We had all our usual favourites - har gow, sui mai, pork ribs with black beans, bean curd rolls, and more, much more! It was all good and we were stuffed! With most dishes costing around $5.00, this is one of the least expensive dim sum places around. Check them out, any time of day! read more

We used to be regulars at perfect for many years when our kids were tiny- I used to crave one dish in particular that one of the staff wrote it out for me so I wouldn't have to explain it as it often comes w pork and I prefer it as a vegetarian option- nothing against pork...;) anyhow, whatever fond nostalgia we had was dashed last night when my husband and I went w our now adult kids- we typically order a bit and then do more half way when somewhere new or that we hadn't been in awhile- we didn't order more this time.. one dish came out w wrong protein and was quickly remade- it was decent.. everything else was just okay. Service is quick but not great. Dum sum came w nothing to dip- had to ask specifically for each sauce. Husband figures it's because ppl likely waste and overuse but to bring nothing was wild. We live in the east end of Toronto but are going to stick w our regular dim sum downtown. I can't see us going back read more

The Perfect Chinese Restaurant... such an audacious name, but it did have some standout features. The business was located in a narrow strip mall of the Scarborough district of the Greater Toronto Area. On-site parking spaces were limited and even entering the plaza can be a nightmare at peak dining hours (e.g. weekend lunch). The dining room was divided into two sections with an adjacent suite next door dedicated for banquets and karaoke. The restaurant was open 24/7 which is unheard of for a Chinese eatery in the States, let alone one that specializes in dim sum. This was the last meal of our recent road trip and was recommended by some family friends for lunch. I was in disbelief when I saw the menu prices. It's as if inflation never existed because the cost was 3.60 or 3.80 in Canadian dollars for all of the items except the XL choices which were still an affordable 5.50 to 5.95. Even better were the weekday prices before 11:00 am. If you paid in cash, then all of the non-XL items were discounted to 3.30 each. With the current exchange rate, that meant the price was less than $2.50 USD. I have not seen such inexpensive dim sum like this since before the turn of the century. There were close to 70 offerings on a menu sheet that was placed at each table. You marked off the desired items and then handed the paper to a server who processed it with the kitchen. No push carts were available here as a worker would bring out the food in bulk after it was fried/steamed. Since we dined on a Monday, the restaurant was less than half full, and our order came out very fast. Tea was even cheap at one Canadian doller per diner. In the lower right corner was a list of fried rice and noodle dishes and vegetable plates that each cost 9.95 which was about $7.50 USD. Our group selected the following... * Har Cow * Shiu Mai * Chicken Feet with Sauce * Steamed Sticky Rice Wrapped * Steamed Cheung Fun with Shrimp * Steamed Cheung Fun with Beef * Pan Fried Seafood Bean Curd Roll * Pan Fried Radish Cake The size of the first two dumplings was average and not the jumbo version that we tried at another business. That made sense given the low prices. The quality of the cheung fun was better here than the more high end spot we visited the day before. The least impressive item was the Pan Fried Seafood Bean Curd Roll. There wasn't much seafood filling inside the roll. If there were more people in our party, then I know we would have selected some less mainstream fare (e.g. beef tripe, curried squid). The final tally was less than $50 USD after HST and gratuity. Credit cards were accepted but not debit... hmm. Not only was I full, but I was very envious that such a dining bargain still existed. With the high cost of living and lack of competition in my hometown, the dim sum prices are easily double to triple that of what we experienced here. Regular dinner entrees could be ordered too, but why bother when the extraordinary value resided with the dim sum. Oh, and can I mention again the place never closes which means you can satisfy a late night dumpling craving any day of the week? The service was adequate while the dim sum quality at these prices was more than acceptable. For our lunch, I gave a 4.5 star rating which was probably skewed on the higher side because we didn't have to fight for parking, get in line for an empty table, or wait long for the food to be ready. read more

It goes boldly by the name of Perfect Chinese Restaurant, and it approaches that lofty goal to an extent. It's been offering Dim Sum and mostly Cantonese cuisine for decades, 24 hours a day. Based on previous Yelp reviews, the quality is inconsistent. Today, it ranged from outstanding to acceptable. I was one of a group of four, and we arrived around 5:15 p.m. for an early dim sum dinner. The decor was clean, comfortable and a bit dated. Two of my dining companions had been coming to Perfect since childhood, and the slightly worn decor was, for them, traditional and comforting as a pair of old slippers. As long-time visitors, they had some recommendations to make: we ordered Shiu Mai and Har Gow (as usual), steamed BBQ Pork Bun, Steamed Glutinous Rice, Pea's Green Shrimp Dumpling, Beef Ball, Deep Fried Squid and Cheung Fun (Rice Roll) with Shrimp and Leek. Here's my rating /5: 5/5: Har Gow; Cheung Fun; Pea's Green Shrimp Dumpling 4/5: Beef Ball; Deep Fried Squid; Shiu Mai, Steamed Glutinous Rice 3.5/5: Steamed BBQ Pork Bun The Har Gow, Cheung Fun and Shrimp Dumpling all featured a translucent, starchy dough. At worst, this dough can be too chewy or too thick but tonight, at Perfect Chinese, it was indeed perfect, and beautifully translucent, allowing the colors of the fillings to shine through. The Pea's Green Shrimp Dumplings were particularly beautiful. They tasted as good as they looked, with the fresh taste of the pea greens complimenting the shrimp. The Har Gow were plump, generous and the shrimp was nicely cooked, not at all rubbery or tough. The Cheung Fun was also excellent, beautifully complemented by the slightly warm, sweet soy sauce. The Beef Ball was beautifully aromatic and well seasoned, but I would have preferred them to be a bit more tender and less bouncy in texture, and otherwise would have been 5/5 for flavour. However, this could be how the texture is meant to be. The other 4.5 dishes were excellent, but not outstanding. The Steamed Pork Bun was very good, but I wish the BBQ pork filling had been more generous. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and our food arrived in a timely fashion. However it was, at times, difficult to get the attention of waitstaff. At 5:15, parking was plentiful, but the lot is rather small, and I could see the possibility that at popular times, such as weekend brunch, it could be tight. The Perfect Chinese Restaurant takes both cash and cards, and is conveniently located near Highway 401. In short, the Perfect Chinese Restaurant is ambitious, well-established, open all the time, possibly inconsistent, fairly priced, and offers a very good dim sum, among other options. Come here for the Dim Sum, for sure. You can satisfy your Dim Sum craving night and day!! Worth noting: they offer a whole Peking Duck for a very reasonable price, they offer a rather pricey Crab Claw Hors D'oeuvre that my dining companions raved about, and they have a good selection of fresh seafood. I saw a number of tables ordering the lobster. Next time, I will check out some of their seafood offerings and some of their other dim sum selections. I've also heard some good things about their noodle dishes. read more

I bought 2 orders of suckling pig which cost $54.50. When I got home I realized they gave me regular pork which was hard and the skin was not crispy. Called them back, they said I can bring it back. I spent 27$ on an Uber, so I couldn't go back to get a refund, to be charged 27$ for another Uber. They lied and gave me regular pork, for suckling. So disappointing I jut threw 54.$ in the garbage. It was so bad I couldn't eat it. The serving size was very very small also. Not a nice place, not nice people. read more

UPDATE: 8/28/24 Ordered the same dim sum we did on our last visit in November 2023, and as usual, it was phenomenal.

You order off a checklist, and there's pictures at the front so you have an idea of what the dishes look like. That was very helpful. The food was good, and the prices were a steal. It's typical dim sum, and the chicken feet were better than others I have tried. Enjoyed the tea. Food came out pretty fast. From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look too appealing but the inside is much nicer. Unfortunately, I couldn't rate better because of hygiene there. I was sitting at one of the tables near the kitchen, and I saw one of the chefs sneeze right onto his hand (he was not wearing a mask) before going back in and touching a bunch of things. read more

Below average dim sum at a below average cost. The BBQ pork buns, which is hard to screw up, were screwed up. The bun itself was fine but the filing was bland and was clearly old as in started turning bad already. The Siu Mai had too much filler so its taste and texture were borderline inedible. These first two items is the first time I discarded leftover food. The fried tentacles came out suspiciously fast and was cold and not crispy. The flavour was soso. None of the food was particularly enjoyable. The only good thing is the price, but truthfully I'd rather make my own food. read more

Very cheap spot to get dim sum 24/7! Their dim sum offering is available all day, but they have a special before 11am for $3.60 per S/M/L item. Their regular prices are not bad at all for dim sum these days. Most items are usually pretty good, but one day we went, I think there were some issues in the kitchen. The food came out slowly and they suggested canceling custard buns we ordered because it was taking a long time. The fried stuffed eggplant we got was also pretty cold, like it had been sitting a while. However, their dim sum is normally pretty good and even in those odd hours of the night, you can still come get reliable Chinese foods! Very no frills, just good cheap foods. read more

I came here for mother's day and I really enjoyed it! The restaurant was much more spacious than I originally thought with 20min wait time. It's open 24 hours too! The beef cheung fun was really good along with the bean curd rolls on the dim sum menu. We also got the $70 combo with 5 dishes including lobster, fish, 2 vegetable dishes, and dessert. The price was so affordable and the seafood was very fresh! The only downsides was the cleanliness of the plates but you can always rinse with the tea. Highly recommend it if you're looking for fresh and affordable seafood read more

My family and I decided to eat this when we landed in Toronto since they are open for 24 hours, which is a major plus. We ordered a family combo meal that was available for to go only which ended up being perfect for us so we could take it back to our hotel. The combo meal was $148 CAD and came with roasted duck, deep fried crab, deep fried fish, fried rice, fish maw soup, sticky spare ribs, sautéed snow pea leaves, & veggie chow mein. The major highlights were definitely the roasted duck, sticky spare ribs, the fish maw soup, and the flavor of the deep fried crab. Dishes that I can go without would be the fried rice and the veggie chow mein, which were kind of basic and lacked flavor. It definitely acted as a filler though and it was still a good addition to the combo. Portions were pretty fair as well. Service wasn't too bad, food was available once I drove over to the location. Also the host was generous with giving enough hot sauces for the whole to go order which was nice. Overall, I would definitely come back for late night eats! read more

Everytime I come to this place I am underwhelmed. There was 12 people in the party. We ordered small fried lobster, ginger chicken, chilli chicken, black bean and chicken noodles, fried chicken, roast duck, veggies and bean curd, spicy squid, spicy shrimp, chili chicken, chili pork and fried shrimp wontons. Soups: veggie soup, corn soup and hot and sour soup. The best thing was the spicy squid. The service was a extremely poor, compared to other clients served while we were here. I can walk here on most days. And this place is opened 24hrs. And this place hits absolutely zero cravings for me. Omg, at the end when people where settling up the bill, a sizzle plate or something came out and fried chilli must have dressed with hot oil just exploded throughout the dining area and ran half of the diners outside for fresh air. One of our party said, "I never been run out of a restaurant like that before!" It will be awhile before returning back. I will commend them that the food was served promptly, but we were short soup bowls, they didn't give us soy sauce, chilli sauce, didn't ask us for drink orders. Some at the table would've ordered liquor but they never asked. We had to chase down pop orders, chase down napkins and water was served almost at the end of meal, again after a chase. I guess our order wasn't big enough or it was something else. It's like we have to beg. My some relatives like this place, but it is a terrible place. They hail from Florida so perhaps it's desperation. There are so many better Asian restos in Scarborough much less in the Agincourt area. Perfect Restaurant? Far from it. read more

Let's start with the food quality. They're good BUT the service is atrocious. I ordered through Uber Eats so everything is in writing. Yet they changed one of the order to something else without notifying me. Furthermore, the lobster that I paid for $40 is no larger than the $10 live lobster I usually get from T&T supermarket. Faaaaaar too expensive for what you get. I was there in person a couple of months back but I can't eat there. The restaurant was so noisy to the point I had to shout to the person sitting in front of me. So 0 score for ambiance. read more

My goodness...we've been eating here since 2007 and I have not written a review yet. Wow. I was first introduced to Perfect by my now in-laws when I started dating my husband. We came here on so many occasions with friends and family, trying more than half of the items on their lengthy menu. We've had their dim sum, duck, fish, lobster, noodles....etc, you name it, I'm pretty sure we've tried it. Perfect is not a fancy joint but your trusty Chinese restaurant where consistency, efficiency, portion size and value was always a big draw for our crowd. Today, I decided to order some dishes via UberEats to supplement our Lunar New Year's dinner. We ordered braised e-fu noodles, stir-fried noodles with pork and shrimp, salted fish and chicken fried rice, braised tofu with bbq pork, chicken and seafood with an order of spring rolls. I couldn't help myself but sample a little bit from all the containers when it arrived and I must say, all the dishes tasted exactly as I remember them from dining in at the restaurants pre-pandemic.

This was a little disappointing because this is the 24hr dim sum place. Supposed to have decent service food and some average decor. I would say the food is a 7/10. But the service was well sub par. We got in on Friday night at 11pm or so but half the place was closed off due to a wedding. Which is cool as they were singing karaoke so free live music. But the wait staff were basically rushing us to leave the entire time. While I see other tables that were here before us and didn't even leave when we were done. The decor I would say is from the late 90s so it's very meh. You can gauge the vault from the photo. We were full but it's 85$ plus tips for 5 of us. read more

Chinese | 24hr | Private rooms| Combos | Karoke | Mah Jong | Banquet | Dim sum This restaurant has been here for as long as I remembered. Although management did change, the food quality and service standards are pretty standard. They've basically taken over the when plaza to themselves. You can book your own size private room for your own type of party, of course with a minimum spend amount. People also hold weddings and birthday parties at their bigger hall. Best part about this restaurant is that they are open 24hrs. If you're craving for some dim sum on the middle of the night you can definitely find some here. The food is not bad. Seafood selections are pretty wide. Service was very well rounded. If you get your own private room you pretty much have the washroom all to yourselves. Pretty clean too. read more

Good food, decent prices. great for big family. They have extensive menu. Great service! Thanks Alfred!

Perfect Chinese Restaurant offers 24/7 Chinese food (including dim sum) through pick-up and delivery. It makes it convenient if you're craving Chinese food at 3 in the morning! Their food is decent. For a place that serves all day, all night, and around-the-clock dim sum, their dim sum quality is actually pretty good. Prices for the dim sum items are slightly lower than the prices at other dim sum restaurants (especially the ones in Markham, Richmond Hill, and downtown Toronto). Their main menu is also quite extensive, and includes fresh live seafood (fresh lobsters and crabs cooked to order). Cooking time and service are FAST! The online ordering system is also easy to use. REVIEW OF DIM SUM ITEMS: Har Gow - The Har Gow order came in 3, and the shrimps inside were deliciously plump. Steamed Squid with Ginger - I ordered the Steamed Squid with Ginger to try it out (as a break from the usual Steamed Squid with Curry order at other dim sum restaurants). Boy, was I surprised at how good it was! If you like ginger and soft, tender squid, you'll like this one. It came in quite a soupy-like, flavourful broth with lots of ginger. This was one of my favourite dim sum items at the restaurant! REVIEW OF THE MAIN DISHES: Fried Garoupa with Chinese Greens - This was pretty good. I could taste the ginger mixed in with the fish. The Chinese greens, which were Chinese broccoli and carrots, were nice and crispy. I liked that they put in a lot of vegetables in the dish! Sauteed Mixed Chinese Vegetables in Buddha Style - Every restaurant tends to do their "Buddha-style Vegetables" differently, and this was no exception. It included: a good amount of mixed mushrooms, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, baby corn, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and bean sprouts. I liked that they put in a mix of different mushrooms, and the broccoli and snap peas were nice and crispy (not overcooked). But I found it a bit too saucy. Shrimp & Egg Sauce on Steamed Rice - A classic Chinese staple... one of my favourite comfort foods. Good amount of shrimps, nice runny egg sauce on warm rice. Perfect any day. read more

Located in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, The Perfect Chinese Restaurant has strong pros...and strong cons. Parking - it is in a strip mall of sorts. The parking was totally fine. But if it is busy, it may present a challenge. Food - the food is honestly 5 stars. We had the vegetable pan fried noodles and onion and black bean sauce chicken. They were both delicious and cooked to perfection. They both were large portions and roughly $18CAD each - which is a steal! One disappointment was that they apparently forgot to include our white rice...which we didn't notice until we got home. That's okay, we probably didn't need the carbs anyway LOL Timeliness - we went for takeout. The food was ready right at 25 mins which is what they said. Service - this is where this establishment falls down. As mentioned, we went for take out so only interacted with the patron at the front who was taking orders/payments and directing people to the wait staff. Upon arrival we said hello...we are still waiting for him to say hi back. We had questions about the menu and he appeared very annoyed to answer us. He had a mask on and refused to speak a little louder so we could here him. After asking him the same question about 8 times, he decided to talk louder. We were not familiar with some of the menu items and asked for details to which he said he did not know. We wanted an order of vegetables and he wanted to charge us $25CAD...yes, more than the entrees! He got an extreme attitude we said we did not want the order of vegetables. When we returned to pick up the food, he spent ten minutes on the phone before acknowledging we returned. He finished the call and then answered another call before tending to us. We found that incredibly rude as we were customers right in front of him. He angrily handed us our food. We needed utensils but were so turned off that we didn't bother to ask. We would go back for the food. Maybe use UberEats so we don't have to interact with the staff. Again - the food was delicious! read more

Rice noodle with beef & soy sauce was good. It was well fried with good wok flavour, and a decent amount of beef. The bean sprouts were crunchy too. It's one of quite a few items you can get on discount if you order online (at least right now). read more

This review is for takeout: They are also famously opened 24 hours a day (I've had my fair share of post-club visits) and offer some great specials. Even now, during COVID, they continue to provide take-out and delivery around the clock and have several discounted dishes available for take out through their new online ordering system. Such as the all-in-one meals like the roasted duck on rice ($7.95), which provides a decent portion of flavour fowl on a bowl of rice with two leafy vegetables; or the fried rice noodles with beef, bean sprout and soy sauce ($9.99) that's well-tossed with sauce while still keeping the noodles intact. Like my other experience with takeout lobster, the flour coating on the stir-fried lobster with ginger and green onion ($19.95) does get mushy (I suggest using less or switching to a flour that's not as heavy and sticky), but the flavours are bang-on, fragrant and salty that I would happily have one of these in a single sitting. If you enjoy dishes such as sweet-and-sour or honey garlic, you'll want to try the sesame chicken ($6.95). I found it a bit too breaded and syrupy for my taste, but it was my husband's favourite. Surprisingly, the most expensive dishes of the meal were the vegetables. I love Chinese leafy greens and couldn't pass-up the stir-fried garlic snow pea leaves ($14.95). There were some bits of harder steams left on (a breeze for us to consume but could be more difficult for dentures), but they sure pack plenty of it into the takeout container. Their sautéed Buddha-style mixed vegetables ($11.95) doesn't incorporate the gluten puffs you'll find at Buddhist vegetarian restaurants, substituting the lighter white snow fungus instead. It's also made up a variety of vegetables - broccoli, bean sprouts, snap peas, baby corn, bamboo shoot, and mushrooms - from what I can remember. read more

Not sure why this place has a such low rating. I started going to The Perfect Chinese recently and every time I visit, they never disappointed me. I was taken here by my significant other as this place is his family's staple dim sum spot. He has been going here since he was a little and wanted to share a great experience with me so I have it a try. This place is big, there is a plenty of space. You can sit here all day long and enjoy your meal as I often see elders enjoying their meals and their teas with friends and families. Even though it can get packed, service is extremely fast. Our order comes out less than 10 minutes and we are able to enjoy our meal without any disruption. Our goto orders are chicken and black fungus rice, shrimp har gow, shrimp cheng fen, squid tentacles, shrimp rolls and chicken wings. Food is always consistent with their flavourful flavour! read more
