When we came during the peak of lunch hour, we encountered decent customer service from the servers. They spoke perfect English, which made it easy to communicate. A larger selection on their menu as well. However, in terms of the food quality, it was definitely not authentic Chinese. We ordered the Peking Duck dish and it was extremely disappointing. The duck was beyond dry and distasteful. The sauce alongside the dish was bland, not flavorful, and extremely watered down. It was a shame to call it Chinese food. It was definitely overpriced considering the quality and portion of the food. You’re better off going to Manchuwok.

This Chinese restaurant is situated to the side of Upper Sherman inside a burger-like diner. The service here was solid. The waitresses all spoke English to the extent of where you’d be able to understand them and they came by/looked around often to see if they were needed. The dishes here was slightly overpriced for average Chinese food you can find downtown Hamilton for cheaper. I’m not against the food or the service — but I don’t think I’ll be back, simply because there’s cheaper and slightly better close by.

I ordered General Tso chicken and one egg roll to go. Upon ordering I asked to have it medium spicy, to which the lady replied it only comes mild but we will include hot sauce in the bag. Fine, I’m good with that. When I rec’d the order, there was only one plum sauce packet and one soy sauce in the bag prompting me to make another trip in the restaurant to get more packets and the promised hot sauce which was so obviously forgotten. The flavour of the General Tao was nothing short of the worst I have ever had. Soggy, small, tiny pieces of dark meat only supposedly chicken in an overly sour-like sauce that was missing the pleasant sweetness of the General Tso I come to expect. To say nothing of the fact that the flavour was off putting and definitely spicy to hot and not the mild I was advised it would be. I have no complaints about the spice level, but about the unpleasant dish in its entirety. I would’ve given them another chance and ordered something else before penning this review, but, frankly, with the terrible experience the first time, they will never see me again.

Was very pleased and surprised. Hot and Sour Soup was solid and a recommend. Just did white people style and had chicken fried rice with chow mien and chicken balls. Both were good, sweet and sour sauce was great. It’s one of the better ones in the area and filed my Chinese food needs.

Awesome authentic Chinese food. I’ve eaten a majority of their menu items — and the only time I didn’t like something, it was a squid dish… Not a big fan of squid, so I probably shouldn’t have ordered it in the first place. Excellent dim sum.

Have been here for dim sum with my family many times. It’s pretty decent and the staff is nice. The wu gok is good, like the steamed BBQ pork buns, and vegetable dish #113. Getting your teapot refilled can take a little while. If you come with small children, ask for the small room with the door so they can run around and make noise without bothering the other patrons. Tip: they are open on January 1 for dinner but you need to make a reservation. Peking duck not available that day.
