Tasty food!! One lady server is so lovely & helpful, she makes me miss the kind of friendly neighborly relationship that I have with street food vendors in my home country 😝View more

Love coming here! Dim sum is my favourite, but everything on the menu is Awsome! This could be the most authentic Chinese restaurant in the city! It's not typical western service (duh...) but it is still exceptional. Come here often & that will never change !View more

Great food at great price. The service time was a bit slow, waited 25min for the dishes to be served. But its all worth it. They have a special, order 2 or more plates & it come with a soup & unlimited rice. I got 梅菜扣肉 (the meat) $20, & 干煸四季豆 (vege) $18. Total after tax $42. Very decent for a high quality dinner for 2.View more

C'est ma meilleure expérience culinaire à Ottawa. Les serveuses étaient très gentilles & m'ont aidé à pratiquer mon cantonais. Les plats & les épices sont variés, le thé est excellent & notre théière était remplie très rapidement. On se croirait à Toronto.View more

A hidden gem in Ottawa chinatown! They have an extensive menu. Very satisfied with the food & service. It has the feel of Toronto Chinese restaurants which is greatly missed in ottawa. Tried some of the dimsum items, minced chicken soup & the a noodle dish, all tasted really good. Will be back to try some more of their dishes.View more

The spicy chicken with peanut over rice is very tasty. The stir fry rice noodles with beef in soy sauce was the most oily dish i have ever had, & i don't know how it was possible but it was all stuck in one giant ball of noodles. Was not good at all. the pork dumpling were awful. I would only order the spicy chicken over rice.View more

The HK milk tea is close to flavourless. That's one of the worst HK style Milk tea I ever had. The beef rice also lacks flavour.View more

🌟I grow up eating authentic Hong Kong food & I miss it everyday! Found this amazing delicious restaurant during my stay in Ottawa. 📌Pork Spare Ribs with Preserved Chinese Sausage 臘腸排骨煲仔飯 Who doesn't love burned crispy rice mixed with sweet Hk soy? The spare ribs & Chinese sausage has a rich, dense, emulsified texture. That matches with the rice so well! 📌Baked Pork Chop with Tomato Sauce 焗茄汁豬扒 The pork chops marinated in sweet & sour ketchup sauce is another high-carb-comfort killer! 📌French Toast (Hong Kong Style) 法蘭西多士 Mike bread & soft butter! As good as our childhood standard😋View more

Inquiring about the food, we were a bit surprised by the attitude of the waitress. Hong Kong cafes are the best, & should be more friendlyView more

I went here for dinner with my friends & family for early Thanksgiving dinner. We spent around $150 dollars. Pretty good price for 10 people. It was my first time trying this restaurant & the quality of the food is good, the environment was very sanitary. I recommend the General Tao Chicken mmm 🤤 i am craving it again, the HongKong style Milk Tea was also pretty good. In downtown they are plenty of Boba places to choose from but the Milk Tea here just taste a lot fresher & less sugary. The service was awesome aswell! Would definitely visit againView more

Food is always good here, mostly rice & noodles type, nothing fancy. Sort of like a Chinese greasy spoon type of restaurant that people feels comfortable to go to for good food, good service, at a reasonable price.View more

The place is a no frills, mom & pop restaurant serving good food with huge portions , Wouldn’t recommend going alone for that reason. The service & ambience could improve , but the food hits wisely.
Tip: Food are smothered in oil, which is I guess how they do it (could be requested to cut down )View more

Really delicious ??? with a nice variety of food. We ordered the clay pot rice (need to Pre-order), stir fried rice noodles with beef, pork chop in tomato sauce, eggplant & a few dim sum items. Everything was yummy & hit the spot. Service was fast & friendly. The HK milk tea was also on point.View more
