“ East Vancouver's own seafood and dim sum restaurant. I enjoyed the great dim sum on a weekday afternoon. ”
“ Great for dinner and large parties. Ordered lots of food and all came out fast one after another. Flavor was a bit in the salted side but that's most Cantonese Chinese food. The duck and chicken came out with crispy skin so that was bomb. Tea was strong and dark too, tieguanyin tea. TIP: If you come with large party, call ahead and order ahead so you don't have to wait for them to cook in the back. ”
“ This restaurant offers exceptional value for the price, with generous portions and a generous serving of meat in each dish. While the meat dishes could benefit from a bit more wok flavor, I highly recommend this place for a satisfying weeknight takeout. The large prawns they use are particularly impressive! ”
“ Came here for the Alaskan King Crab dinner with my family this week and it was amazing and super reasonably priced. They pre-order the crab once you confirm your reservation and show you the crab before bringing it into the kitchen to cook (it was alive and flailing). The crab was perfectly cooked into 4 dishes. The legs and claws were steamed with garlic, the body fried with salt/pepper/shallot/garlic, seafood fried rice was baked into the shell, and residual meat/juice was used to poach some yuchoy. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted fresh and delicious. Service was amazing too. You have to drive through some shady areas of Vancouver, but definitely work the trip. Highly recommend and would go back in a heartbeat. ”
“ Came here for my aunt’s birthday. She is a regular and orders a lot from them. The manager put on a birthday song for my aunt and gave us some mango pudding with a candle. It was so kind!!! We had amazing food and everything was so good! Especially the spicy fried squid! Thank you for an amazing time! ”
