    One of the most authentic chinese restaurants in KW.  Hong Kong diner-style food.  I think the chef is pretty awesome.  Classic dishes done right.  I liked that I could taste the wok in the beef chow fun.  Not too greasy.  They don't skimp on the ingredients.  Lots of tender slices of meat.  Highly recommended.

    I passed on this restaurant a few times because there was never anyone inside, but I deeply regret it now.  I think the food here is better than Chen's, Hot Wheels or Tasty Home Garden.

    Accidentally ordered from this place on skip the dishes thinking it was king tin and what a horrible mistake that was lmao! The food was horribly bland, unappealing, and unappetizing altogether. Imagine your home cooked noodles and stir fry but done the laziest way possible because you're either too hungry or too stoned to care how it turns out as long as it's cooked. I had to give them a thumbs up though, as I've never eaten from there and should assume that's how it usually is.

    Staff is nice enough. Not typically busy and some of the food isn't very authentic. Usually just overload your dish with rice and cheap veggies as to cheap out on meat.

    Taste of the food varies.  Depends on what you order. Ask for what's popular item on the menu only.  Food was not clean. After the meal my stomach feels uncomfortable. The beef was hard and it tasted awful. Service was bad, the dish was throw to my table, and no one came to add water, even when the store was not busy.

    I brought a piece of the left over beef back to have my friend tried it to make sure I wasn't biased, he expressed the same option, and thinks the beef has gone bad.

    I really wanted to like this place from reading so many good reviews on Yelp, but that was not the case. I ordered the congee and a noodle dish, which both were bland and lacked flavour.

    I am from Toronto and can say that I have had better. So if you want good, flavourful Chinese food I would not suggest this place.
