  A no frills restaurant that opens late in Chinatown, and accepts credit cards!
  
  Authentic, great dishes. Wok hay was very good, fish tofu clay pot came out super piping hot.
  
  Bittermelon soup and snow fungus sugar water dessert were both complimentary:)
  
  Waitress and we made small talk comparing our home places. In heart, still same race, inbuilt understanding and community.

  I've been eating here for years. New owners have taken over but the menu is the same.  
  
  I still like it for chicken or century old egg congee, rice-wrapper doughnut, and chow mein dishes like the beef chow fun and Thai style noodles. Inexpensive lunch specials.
  
  I hear the food is even better for dinner, peking duck (advance noticed) crab, and on Instagram I saw some speciality chicken and taro dish. I'm pretty sure you need to speak Chinese to order these dishes or show them a picture. The female owner is quite friendly so I'm sure they would accommodate you if can't speak Chinese.

  One of the less often spots for our family. This resturant is tucked away in a small strip mall down in China town. It's neighboured by a small barbershop and a store front that houses mahjong games.
  Sitting down for dinner service you'll be nice and close to your neighbours, but this resturant has good quality quick stirfrys and other communal plates.
  Make sure to check your take out orders correctness before leaving though! I've been given the wrong item several times, although delicious each time they were never what I ordered. It also takes a few tries to get through their phone as well, but they've got a good simple lunch menu to order from. All the congees and noodles I've had from their lunch menu have been great value for the portions they give you.

  I've come by here and ordered to go a few times, but this is actually the first time I stopped in to eat. Stopped by for a very late lunch around 2:30PM today and was the only one in the restaurant, but the lady was really nice and was quick to provide tea and took my order quickly.
  
  I got a beef flat noodle with gravy (i.e. the wet stir fried noodles) and they were great. Flavorful yet simple sauce, just crisp tender Chinese broccoli, a little beef and a nice heap full of noodles. Considering how expensive parking is around Chinatown, its nice that their lunch specials are pretty cheap relative to some other restaurants. Would gladly come here again!

  Came here for dinner. Everything was solid, service was a bit lacking since they were busy.
  Typical Chinese dinner at most places. We ordered three dishes and portion sizes were good. Complimentary soup (carrot and winter melon) and dessert (green bean, red bean dessert soup). We ordered the stewed bean curd beef brisket and tendon pot, pork belly braised with preserved vegetables and sweet & sour pork.
  The brisket was a bit tough and could've used more time, the tendon was perfectly gelatinous. Flavors were good and the sauce went great with rice. The pork belly lacked sweetness and the belly meat could've used more time to tenderize as well. Finally the sweet and sour pork was good. Light, crispy batter and I appreciate that they used fresh pineapple. The pineapple can get sour if not cooked correctly and they had it still sweet and juicy which is great.
  
  Overall, nothing that'll blow your socks off. But if you're looking for a family style Chinese dinner (great for groups), give this place a look if you're in Chinatown.
