Not my 1st time nor last time patronizing this place. Food has been consistently tasty even brought home. Not overly spicy nor salty and suit our taste buds. Thanks for your meal 🍽️

Called this restaurant around 4pm to order. A man answered the phone and told me to go pickup directly. After 10 minutes I was there but the door was locked, the lights were on in the restaurant. There is no bell at the door. I call 7 times but no one answered the phone anymore, and no voice message recording either. He wasted me time to drive there and efforts to make several calls. He told me the food are ready for pick up immediately but the door was locked and no one was in the restaurant to answer the phone. Not returning anymore. Its my worst experience ever!

Ordered the fried glutinous rice for take out and it was yummy! Price is great especially for the big portion, plus the order came with soup. Also the person working there was friendly :) Would definitely come back.

The food in here tastes so good and it just melts in your mouth. The people working in the shop are polite and they are really nice and respectful. My favorite food is the shrimp with egg and the crispy noodles. The noodles are soo tasty and crispy, and the shrimp with egg tastes delicious. I feel bad for the employees there though because they look so sad. I don't want to make any assumptions but I feel like the shop is gonna one day be renovated. In conclusion, I hope that you buy from this shop because it is worth the money and maybe help support them because sadly no one buys here anymore. (I'm not saying that this shop is dead but instead I mean that I hope that maybe more customers will buy from here and maybe they will one day be a popular restaurant. 🙃

The food is fine, lots of options. I like very much the service. Staff is friendly and helpful. Not much to say, just grab a fast lunch you won’t be disappointed.

Ordered 3 dishes combo(三和菜)for dinner today,i was very disappointed ,that's the worst dinner i've ever had!!Diced chicken in kung pao style with lots of green pepper and fried peanut(not crispy) but few chicken,and totally tasteless……the shrimp w/salted egg yolk,i can't taste any egg yolk at all! Beef&mushroom w/green onion is JUST OK!

Cantonese | Combos | Student Specials | Generous Portions| Affordable At the corner of the Kennedy/ Bur Oak plaza with lots of Cantonese dishes to choose from. Their portions are great, lots of rice. During weekdays lunch hours it gets quite busy with students, take out orders and construction/renovation workers coming for some big bites. Their dishes are affordable but not the greatest in quality. Student combos are around $6.50 which includes a meal and a drink. For that combo though they do specify that students need to pay first prior to their meal for dine in. Their daily soup has lots of MSG I feel and their milk tea isn't amazing. When I tried their chicken steak I also felt that there were meat tenderizer used. But if you're looking to just get really full off some quick and hearty Chinese food, this isn't a bad place to go.

Went here today best Chinese food and service I had in soe time

July 22, 2024

There are no photos, so you can experience it by yourself. Not to mention the black pepper chicken chop rice, the black pepper pork chop rice, and the frozen lemon tea are served after the meal is finished. It is mandatory to tip. It is understandable that one person is too busy. However, there is no service process or logic at all. The tea is not even served yet, and the order is taken care of. The whole process is cold-faced. The customer should not ask if he can share a table. Is this why he has the nerve to ask for a tip?

Very rude customer service. Called to see if we can get a table and was told if we can finish food in half hour then we can go as they close at 8:30pm No thank you. We went somewhere else and it s so much better customer service. Service

Only take out now. The price and quality of food can be improved. Competition from other restaurants and food court but if cut cost on ingredients and food quality will suffer. In the long run will lose customers and hurting the business.

I live pretty close by, but I will never go to this place again. Bad service and dishes are not worth to it. Frankly I dont think they care about Google rating at all, they will just keep the manner as they are and not being improved, why spending your hardworking $ there then?

December 22, 2022

Ordered take out fried rice and chow mein. The chow mein had no taste at all. Fried rice was OK. The milk tea was so sweet, taste like sugar and water. Also the complementary soup, taste like MSG plus water. The food is unacceptable, so disappointed, will never go back there again.

Love this little takeout place. Have been coming to this restaurant for a few years now. Their food are, in general, tasty. Maybe a bit oily for some ppl, but its ok for me. Price is very reasonable and BIG portion. The only con is the prep time could be long 25+ mins during peak time.

I ordered through Uber Eats and I was not happy with the experience. As you can see in the photo, the 3 Choices Combo is served with soup and steamed rice. When I received my order, I didn t see them, so I called. The lady who answered the phone was very rude and stated I should have pay extra for the soup and rice. Honestly, I wouldn t be so mad if they just apologize. If you re not gonna serve the combos with soup and rice, THEN DO NOT INCLUDE IN YOUR MENU! Terrible customer service and attitude.

Reliable and well priced HK style cafe. Staff is nice too. Lots of choices and varieties of dishes. I dont know how they can keep up with so many dishes - If you can read chinese (traditional) then you can see other features and menu items on the wall. Felt like salt and fat level ok but if you want you can ask for them to reduce it. You can also order their combos where you can choose 2,3,4 dishes (wor choi). They come with rice as well - to eat in or take out.

The cashier was rude to us when we went up to pay so we would never come back here again. Food is just medicore and not the best quality. They demanded minimum 10% tips even though we have rounded up the tip and was willing to tip them. They asked for more tips and was rude about it. The bill was hand written without any clear break down of the bill (no tax rate charge, items that we were ordered). The bill only has chinese writing and total amount of $23.15. We gave them $100 bill and told them to give us change back and they said we need to give them minimum 10% tips which was rude and demanding. Tipping should be optional not mandatory and demanded. I told them this is not right and the way they did the bill looked like they will cheat on their taxes by not reporting all of their sales as they just use a manual calculator and had write the total amout on bill only (not legit & professional bill). CRA will be called to report their attempt to do tax evasion/fraud. Many chinese restaurants try to cheat reporting their taxes this way using unclear invoice/bills, asking for cash only & demand certain amount of tips even though service is garbage/sucks!

Terrible service. Rude to customers, treats people like they are nobody. Would not recommend this place to anyone who wants to be treated with respect. I believe they served us leftover soups from weeks ago. My soup was sour and it seemed to have been mixed with tomato soup from one week and papaya soup from another week and a third soup with black fungus in it. Although I had a bad experience, some of their food is alright for a cheap dinner.

Its mediocre, the food quality is actually good, but the service attitude has never been bad. There are five waiters and four middle school students. When I want to place an order, even if I call Zuo Hao, no one will listen. When I placed my order, the six of us called Zuo Wuhe Cai. He said there was something wrong, so I asked the four of them to stop and think about it again. He turned his face black and said nothing. Then I told the second waiter that I wanted to add another rice dish, but two of them didnt have chopsticks. He said I know, I know before he finished speaking. As a result, he didnt have a meal and only a pair of chopsticks. It doesnt matter. Paying the bill first is the most correct. A waiter asked me what the dish was called Zuo Liuhe. My father mistakenly said Zuo Liuhe, and I corrected it to be Wuhe dish with six rice. Qu asked Li, and asked me first how many dishes and rice dishes there were. After that, He Zhong continued to talk and continued to blame my father for making mistakes. One dinner was a real eye-opener for me.
