I have several bad experiences there! Either as customer and also as courier for Skip the dishes app! The people who are at the desk, they are rude and they do not respected me! I told them them nice greetings every time i go there, and the woman and man just staring at my eyes! And not answering my Hello ! They do not know greeting and welcoming customers at all.

September 23, 2024

I too was almost yelled at just for asking something. $17 for noodles and beef I had to spit out because it was chewy and stringy. You cannot serve meat like that to customers. Never again. It was my first time there and my last. Awful.

Stopped in here with a group of 7 people later in the evening. Food was brought very quickly to our table with very large portions and great service. We had 3 children in our group and everyone all left full with extra to take home.

I'm a regular customer of your restaurant, yesterday I decided to ordered off skip the dishes, I rated the food before I eat it because I'm so use to liking the food there, but last night I was very disappointed with the food I got, it wasn't up yo standard at all, I ordered the Deepfried chicken wings eith rice and the The whole shrimp with mix vegetables with Lo Main noodles and omg it was very bad, especially the noodles wad over cooked and soft and taste smokey, I didn't enjoy my food at all and I spent $50, it was just a waste of my money had to throw it in the garbage and find something else to eat. So I take back the rating I give your restaurant on skip the dishes. My rating would be a one star for preparation of the food, sorry to say.

Tasty, generous portions from an expansive menu; Duck,Beef,Pork etc. Plenty of Vegetarian options too. Price was decent for the size of the meals, and quick, friendly service was provided in a clean and welcomimg environment. Dominoes was being played in one half of the restaurant providing free quirky entertainment of hard slaps on the table, followed by verbal jabs to their opponent! The decor isnt fancy, but its well maintained, and there are plenty of seats for a casual get together with friends.

Ordered the pepper shrimp fried rice. The food had a good flavour it was made to order. However it seemed to be on the greasier side. I noticed they started using a new container, and portion is down then what I remembered. Also the new container traps the heat of the food which makes it extremely hot be cautions when you get take out.

★★★

Not bad, it's nothing to write home about! The ''chicken" balls, well they mostly consisted of fried flour, it was 89% fried breading and 11% chicken. Then they slathered/covered it in sweet and sour sauce ! When you take it home, it is a soggy mess.

classic Chinese Guyanese fusion vibe inside, great food, fast service, call in to make an order and its ready in 10 mins piping hot. I love this place.

September 22, 2024

Beware, they don t own up for their mistakes and then refuse to give you your money back and charge you additional for things. Would not be returning.

September 22, 2024

They charge extra to pay with debit or credit and dont tell you. The place smells like a fish bowl and the menu prices available online are no longer accurate, its at least $2 more expensive when you get here.

September 22, 2024

Absolutely terrible service. I m a regular customer of this company and today I was yelled at by one of the older employees for asking a question about a meal. Never experienced service like that before but I would say to stay away from this company at all costs. No problem with food but service is completely terrible.

On the afternoon of Tuesday, July 13, 2021, I craving for some rice for lunch; but, I want a reasonable and/or inexpensive price. As I was walking, I realized that this restaurant was open for business. As I stepped in and approaching the bar, the male associate greeted me. I chose my order (L71) which was $5.99! I walked back to my workplace, added some ranch dressing and ate my food. YUM! I found a NEW/BETTER spot Recommended spot for all

Prices are different from the menu. I ordered half BBQ duck. It is $16.50 on the menu. I was charged $21.99 on the bill. Not recommend this place. I mentioned it to the staff all they said sorry, price on menu not update yet. I wish I could give 0 star. One more thing! Service charge was applied to my bill for %12 for 5 people. 2 aldults, 2 kids and a baby. Seriously! Terrible service! Do not waste your money here.

We were not happy that they dont deliver; however, the food was very enjoyable. The General Tao chicken was alittle overcooked and the egg rolls couldve used more flavor (5 spice powder), but everything else was very good. The server was friendly. We plan on trying them again.

Cant even order a dinner for one and pay the delivery and as far as Im concerned why should I have to find a different delivery company when they just pay one of their guys to deliver they dont use a service. And they dont have debit at the door so if you dont have $30 youre SOL.

Just came back from dine-in lunch. We ordered only Chinese food so I cant say much for the other types of cuisine served there. The food was pretty standard from what you can get at a Chinese restaurant. I would say that the food is comparable to take-out Chinese food, mostly because of the taste and that there was little effort put into presenting the dishes compared to Cantonese cuisine restaurants. The set-up and appearance of the restaurant was clean and up to par. Our waitress (The only waitstaff present) seemed friendly and greeted us when we came in. She was also willing to relay to the chef that we didnt want MSG in our order. Overall, dining at the restaurant for the first time left me with a good enough impression to want to go back and try more of their food.
