Due to the positive reviews we decided to have dim sum here. We arrived arounnd 11:15 am, the place was about half full, the other half of the restaurant had a wall/divider running down the middle of the restaurant as there was some kind of recital happening. Apparently this happens regularly as they have a lot of weddings/events here. I prefer eating in peace or enjoying a conversation but the piano recital was so loud it was a distraction while trying to eat. None the less I wanted to see how the dim sum was, we had the usual dishes - steamed pork dumpling, steamed shrimp dumpling, shrimp rice roll with soy sauce and fried radish cake. First of all, only a few dim sum carts rolled by the whole time and all the dim sum was lukewarm at best. We like our dim sum piping hot, fresh from the steamers but all of our steamed dishes were not hot or even at room temperature. The size of the dim sum was quite small when compared to other dim sum restaurants we have gone to and yet the price was higher than average. The only thing different about this place were the high back chairs. For 4 plates of dim sum it came to $21.15 (which included a $2 charge for tea). Total $23.69. We can find better tasting, piping hot, larger pieces of dim sum at other restaurants, so don't believe we will be returning.

We had a 2 piece chicken dinner on the weekend (drumstick & thigh). Took it home and the thighs were a decent size, it was still hot, fairly juicy with a thick crispy crunchy batter, the way we like it. We didn't want spicey, just regular but found the chicken skin was under seasoned say compared to KFC. The chicken pieces are larger than KFC's, although I've found the KFC at the Metrotown location had good size thighs. The fries on the other hand were pale, limp but we ate them all anyway. They could have used a few more minutes of cooking. If they put a bit more spices to the batter, it would make such a huge difference.

We had breakfast here last on a week day, you seat yourself so we picked a booth. The place hasn't changed in years but we don't mind as its quite cozy. You see all the old photos taken in the 1960's and the furniture looks the same. The service was ok too. Breakfast was very cheap and we were full. Later I bought some of their famous beef meat pies, flying saucers (giant almond paste cookies), mocha cream shortbread cookies, cake slices.. Everything there is amazingly good and tastes the same as it did 40 years ago.. I always try to return when I visit Victoria.

We had dinner here on the weekend and was seated at a table in the centre. It was fairly busy on a Saturday night. Ordered the combo dinner for 2 ( $21.85) which consisted of wonton soup, egg rolls, lemon chicken, sweet n sour pork, bbbq pork fried rice. You get 8 wontons which were ok buy the broth was too salty and did not taste that good. The lemon chicken was a good portion and deep fried but the chicken breast was hard and dry and tasted like it had precooked earlier. It was not moist like it should have been. The sweet n sour pork was just ok and did not have enough sauce so that made it dry, so we had to ask for a plate of sauce but the sauce was lukewarm and did not enhance the dish after we poured it over the dish. The rice was white and consisted of bits of pork but the flavor was not very good. Fried rice should have some kind of oyster/soy sauce to flavour so if you order the combo you end up getting this very basic plain looking so called fried rice. The egg rolls were vegy rolls, no meat inside. Its probably better to order their regular dishes (not combo) so may try some different dishes next time.. Overall the prices are reasonable and the service is ok..

We had a party of 4 for dinner here at this location on the weekend. You don't really get a view of the water but the view we got was a view of the parking lot. A couple of us had the prime rib with au jus.. I had fingerling potatoes and it came with a few green beans. The dish of au jus was a light shade of yellow/white, I was wondering why it was so pale looking as that did not look like normal au jus which is usually a deep brown color that contains beef bits, beef stock, etc.. The prime rib was just okay, but definitely not half as juicy or succulent as the Keg's prime rib which comes with a dish of delicious deep brown flavorful au jus. So then I dipped a piece of meat into the supposedly "au jus", that was a big mistake.. It had NO flavour whatsover and tasted like leftover watery chicken stock from a can. No kidding !! I don't know if they serve this au jus all the time since it was our first time eating there but I will never order this dish again and probably never come here again for any dish. The supposedly "seared" cod looked and tasted like it was steamed. There is no value in coming here, if the food was good it would be worth the prices, but the prices were high and the food was very badly prepared. There are so many other better seafood/prime rib restaurants to go to than this one..

We come here once in awhile as the place has booths and the seating is quite comfortable. The host/cashier is very friendly and provides good service. Ordered the beef with vegetable chow mein. There were chinese greens along with some sliced beef but the beef did not taste that fresh. It could have been cooked previously then just added last minute. I prefer my meat fried on the spot. The beef was sliced thinner than normal and tasted like roast beef. We prefer thicker slices of beef with bits of garlic and with a chewier texture. The beef gravy didn't taste asian, more like a westernized sauce. We passed by Kents Kitchen in chinatown, that place is basically a take out place as the atmosphere inside is very basic.. a few tables for dine in .. if you don't mind the previous customer leaving their bones/plates on the tables... the food there is really varied, cheap and tasty, but if you go there you go for the food, not the atmosphere as there really isn't any.....

We come here regularly for quarter pounders, chicken nuggets, Big Macs, fish burgers, their hot crispy fries & apple pies. Usually we come for dinner or lunch. Its a fairly large restaurant and cleaner than others with a nicer atmosphere. The burgers are usually always warm, cooked and taste the way you expect it, and you always leave satisfied. We will continue coming to this location..

We went here twice now, both times for lunch. Had a chow mein dish that took forever to arrive and it was ok, not outstanding. Also ordered a plate of shrimp rice roll which which took a long time but arrived kind of lukewarm to cold. (Better to have dim sum at a real dim sum restaurant). Had the sliced beef congee and that took a long time too. The congee was runny (not thick) and the flavour was just ok. We wanted to sit beside each other and the so called "boss lady" would not agree at first. There were tables for 2 and 4 available so finally we were allowed to sit at a table for 4. If you want expect quick service like Hon's, don't come here.

We have been to Hon's for many years but have lately come less often due to the decline in the quality of the food. We ordered some black bean sauce chicken chow mein. I bit into a piece of chicken and noticed immediately it was not freshly cooked, but tasted stale, or sitting around for some time or leftover chicken from the day before. You can tell the chicken is freshly fried if its juicy but this looked totally white, was dry and had a bad taste to it. We immediately advised the server and told her the chicken tasted awful and we wanted beef chow mein instead. She said it would only be a few minutes so we waited and then they brought in another batch of chow mein with the beef. It was a definite improvement but the noodles were dry and the beef wasn't flavored that well but it was okay.. We will probably not be returning for a long time..

We have only been here a couple times but enjoyed each visit. We have tried the chicken congee with chinese mushroom, black bean sauce with green pepper and beef chow mein, the chicken chow mein which came with chinese mushrooms and shanghai bok choy and the crispy noodles were fried perfectly, and the congee was very thick, (not runny) the way it should be with a great aroma. The decor is not bad and the place seems fairly clean. The washrooms were fairly clean too. This restaurant is located in the Lansdowne Mall in Richmond and its fairly busy and we didn't have to wait too long to be seated. We will definitely be returning as its a convenient location with lots of parking.
