While Loi Loi is far from the best Vietnamese restaurant in the stronghold of this part of…read moreRichmond, they deliver pretty consistent and cheap meals. They also have a great sign (see photo), so I give them the benefit of the doubt on an outward aesthetic level at least. Loi Loi have this crazily extensive menu that covers a whole lot of Vietnamese, Chinese and Indian staples. While the flavours sometimes lack in depth, the produce is always fresh and of the dozen-or-so meals I've eaten there, I've never had something that was bad. But, I've never had a meal that I'd call great either, so it kind of falls into a bit of a no-man's land in terms of Victoria Street Vietnamese. That said, the Mee Goreng (Indonesian?) is pretty good and the servings are bloody huge. So if you're hungry and don't want to line in the more popular and potentially much better places up the street, Loi Loi is a soft option.

Even my dessert which I even told to be served after dinner, came when I was still in the middle of eating. (We've spent there just 30 min...never had a faster meal than this one) So, 5 Stars for the really tasty food, (We had prawn dumplings, seafood dumplings, Prawn vermicelli soup, Fried Tofu, Vegetable Buns and the Choco lava bun. The prawns are very fresh and the dumplings delicious.... But well because of the rush and everything, the dining experience was not nice.

The quality of food at Mr Huang Jin is excellent. They are known for their xia-long bao (XLB), and…read moreit's deserved. We ate the default XLB, the shiu-mai, pan-fried beef dumplings, spicy fried squid and some BBQ pork bun to close it out. Everything we ate had the perfect combination of delicate flavour with a robust-enough construction to fulfil its purpose. It's a dumpling. It tastes great with soy or vinegar and it's meant to be eaten in a single chomp. This concept is 100% present in the construction of the dumplings. The dough wasn't too thick or too thin. The soup inside didn't spray everywhere as soon as a chopstick touched the side. But it was the BBQ pork bun at the end that stole the show for me. The sauce wasn't the traditional char shiu but a much spicier version. The pork was sliced really thin and melted at the slightest pressure of teeth. So tasty.

Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs…read more Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs The secret is out and they *will* make more. These atomic bombs of flavor and heat are my favorite dish on the planet. After the privilege of trying them once, we came home and began a long saga of attempts to duplicate the dish. After all, they don't deliver to the other side of the world... Well, after numerous unsuccessful attempts, we gave up in frustration. But then, years later, we had the opportunity to return and order the same dish. It was incredible and just as we remembered. Spicy, crunchy, tender morsels of atomic goodness. It cannot be duplicated. Just head down the dark alley and up the few steps in to this mecca of Sichuan taste sensation. You won't regret it. Or, better yet, order some "to go" and SHIP THEM TO US NOW.
