Instead, we decided to stay and enjoy a meal. We started with hot tea and soup. The soup was definitely the highlight of the meal--flavorful, comforting, and served nice and hot. For our entrees, we ordered the lo mein and a fried rice combo platter. The lo mein was just okay and didn't really stand out, but the fried rice combo platter was excellent and full of flavor. We thoroughly enjoyed that dish. The restaurant itself felt a little tight in terms of seating space, but the atmosphere was still pleasant. Despite not getting to try the bakery items we came for, we had a good time, enjoyed our meal, and left satisfied. We'll definitely come back earlier next time to try some of those bakery specialties before they sell out! Service was great tho.. very cheerful

Sweet and sour pork and vegetables with meat had flavour. Partner was not happy with food. Soy sauce added to make food tasty. Usually when I order from most other restaurants I never add soy sauce because food is tasty when dish arrives. Plus most chefs are offended when you add condiment before tasting a dish. Chinese tea and fortune cookies were provided. Restaurant only had a couple of other sit down diners when we arrived. Staff was nice. Will order different dishes and dishes with with BBQ meat if I ever go back to see if cooks were having an off day today. Been awhile since I ate here. Entire bill was paid but my partner wanted cost reduced due to disappointment of dishes. Tables were a bit tight for larger parties but everybody appeared to be enjoying themselves still. Steady flow of customers that were tourists and locals to pick up, delivery service and purchased goods (meat and pastries) to enjoy outside of restaurant. Walls were nicely painted. Tables were clean. Located in Chinatown where there is street and parking lots. Partner is interested in trying meats at home in the future. In the past I purchased their BBQ meats, duck, etc. along with pastries to enjoy at home that were always tasty.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE 3.5 stars: as fellow Yelpers have…read morenoted: the name of the restaurant is a bit of a mystery, as none of the cuisine comes from Hong Kong; they serve a very different style of Chinese food more reminiscent of the Szechuan/Sichuan region in China. While the family-run business serves dishes that are more authentic, one might find of it limited appeal if you're looking for non-spicy dishes (or you have young children), environment, or value. === 2. FOOD Green Beans and Peppers While the flavour is good, you cannot order this without spice/heat and so this makes it a bit of a non-starter for some (many?) young children. The crunch of the vegetables is there, but the portion size for $20 in a takeout container is not. Shrimp and Celery Thankfully, this is the least-spicy dish and mostly edible by young children. The Shrimp was nicely deep-fried with a thin coating of batter; this is a solid choice even if the portion size is small (well below fill line of a smaller takeout container for $20). === 3. SERVICE They serve you in English or Mandarin and overall it is pleasant. The food was prepared in a reasonable amount of time. === 4. ENVIRONMENT This is more of a hole-in-the-wall: you're not coming here for the ambience (which is limited to plain white walls, red tables/chairs, and fluorescent tube lighting interestingly mounted sideways on the walls rather than the ceiling). You could probably fit groups ranging in size from 2 through 8 but I'm not sure I'd bring anyone in a wheelchair or baby stroller in here easily. Parking is available in the back.

Another yelper stated that "it's not the most authentic Chinese food you'll come across...". While he goes on to say that "by Victoria standards, it's up there... I'll take this moment to give him food for thought. My best friend is Chinese. I'm Chinese. Our grandmothers and our mothers made wonton for us at home. I, on the rare occasion, will wrap my own wonton. None of the five wontons we make will taste the same because we use different ingredients or the same ingredients in different measures. That does not make any of our wontons less than authentic than the others. We entered and were immediately greeted. We were directed to a four-top and presented with menus and water and/or tea. We perused the menu and decided to go with: Pan Fried Pot Stickers - 5 - They're not on the lunch menu but they are available. Shanghai Thick Noodles - 5 - A wonderful plate of deliciousness. Wor Wonton with Mixed Wonton - 5 - A simple clean bowl of Wor Wonton. They offer Pork or Shrimp or Mixed. I was hoping that Mixed had both Pork AND shrimp in them but that would force them to wrap three different styles instead of two. I ordered the Mixed just to compare the flavors. Both were delicious. On a subsequent visit, I would want to try their Hot & Sour Soup with 12 Shrimp Won Ton added. Service was quick and courteous. I'm sorry that we don't live closer but there are many excellent Chinese restaurants where we live too.

Our family was relying on getting food from Halibut House. Had we known this would happen, we would have planned ahead and picked up from JJ Wonton downtown (their food is far better anyways). Now, we don't have time to travel there before it closes. All in all, I'm pretty disappointed in the staff and owners of this place. We have been regulars, but I think this latest episode has ended that.
