It's a pleasant restaurant, decorated well. The appies were tasty and priced ok. Drinks were priced lower than I thought would be the case. As for the mains, the accompaning salad, rice, satziki and potatos were very good. But the beef and lamb were too dry. And this should be the highlight. The waitress was overworked playing bartender and waitress. She did this well but seldom visited us to ask the usual questions. Obviously this is a management issue and not her fault but is critical to the business. It's annoying when you can't get someone's attention. All in all it was ok for value and we may return. Well see.

We used to go to the old John B across the street so many years ago. When they moved we really never got into frequenting the new digs except on occasion. I met some friends there for lunch one weekday and enjoyed the general atmosphere. The menu was expansive with every thing you could want. Perhaps this was the problem. The server seemed rushed and was non attentive. The food came fairly quickly. No one cared too much for any of it. It was ok but certainly nothing special and not cheap. The yam fries were easily the worst ever. That can happen though as they're hard to do right. All in all I may give it a try again as this could have been a one off but I won't hurry to do so.

Old fashion dim sum with the carts and wait staff rushing around bringing orders and people to tables.
It's a fun atmosphere. The service was surprisingly good. They stopped by right away and kept doing so even asking me if I wanted hot sauce, something we all know almost never happens.
The food was pretty good, especially the ha gow and beef balls, although the bean curd and tripe were a little tasteless. At $3.00 a dish it's a deal.

After driving by often I finally tried this place and am happy I did. The people are super friendly and attentive.
Had the seafood hot chilli soup and it was extremely good. Everything was fresh and plentiful with a good amount of spicy. I'll be coming here more often than the pho places.

The value really is outstanding if you have the $10 coupon from the local newspaper otherwise it may be too expensive ie $13-$15 for a hamburger and fries. But what a great burger. The meat was first class and my wife's chicken burger as good a breast of chicken as she's had. Clearly they buy the best.The wedge fries are huge steak cut and reminded me of what fries should be. You get enough for two people but I ate all mine.The best I've had in years. The waitress was pleasant and attentive. Music was great. Even without the coupon I would definitely return but with it this is as good a value as you'll get anywhere.

Like many have said the portions are large. Costs per standard dim sum item are about $4 or so. Food was mostly good but some items lacked a little taste and flavour. Service was ok. The best part was when I went to pay the bill. The infamous surley manager/owner was there. She was a hoot. When she finely saw me she looked right through me chewing her lunch with her mouth so wide open I thought it was some kind of pantomime. She never spoke even though I tried to engage her in conversation. Her countance was of anger and dismissiveness as if by being there I had offended her. I, however, was not at all offended. It was like being singled out for abuse at a Don Rickles concert. Next time I'll try to sit close to the cashier so I have a better view of the floorshow.

We loved this place and came here all the time over the decades and I reviewed this place on this site 2 years ago.
We hadn't been back since for reasons I stated in my review then but decided to give it another go for old time sake. Too bad.
At lunch during the week the place was almost empty. Never a good sign. But we like to sit on the deck so what would it matter? Our order was simple but after a half hour I asked the server what was up. Apparently they had a table of 6 come in who placed their order after ours but got seen to first. Ok that happens and we're liking the deck. The server apoligized when the food came about 15 minutes later. She was pleasant but seemed to be the only help the kitchen had.
We're not pickey because it's just food, but it was awful. Raw fish unless it's sushi is neither safe nor palatable. The fries that came with it were old and tired. My wife wouldn't eat the ham that came with her late breakfast as it tasted off.
The food was not costly but you simply cannot serve that stuff in that tardy fashion and survive in this business especially with the hit restaurants are taking today.
I'll remember this place for a lot of good times and I wish them well but we won't return.

The lunch specials at $6.95 are a deal. They all come with a salad, spring roll and dip and soup. The downside to this is that they were are quite forgetable. Tiny and tasteless. I'd prefer to pay a few dollars more and get a tastier larger portion.
The main is another matter. The chicken with cashew nuts in hot chili peppers with rice was excellent. Great flavour and spice, fresh and lots of it. Service was very good. They take your order and serve quickly and gave you water and a refil without asking. It's hard to beat for a lunch stop.

The wonton soup at $2.95 with 8 wontons and decent broth is not the best but ok, filling, and, of course, cheap. Singing chicken hotpot for under $8 is, again, a bargin and tasty. It is a hole in the wall but the people are friendly and service is good. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, although if in the area, I may pop in to try one of their super cheap and large lunch specials. For large plates and cheap Chinese food it's hard to do better.

It's family run and the people are friendly. The server was new but did fine.
The food was good but too expensive. You can get better for less in many places elsewhere.
The issue is the restaurant itself. Apparently they've been there for 30+ years and clearly have done nothing to update since. The place smelled dank, floors were dirty, tables were small and shakey. Everything was just old and in need of a massive overhaul. Perhaps they think it's quaint. It's not. We won't return.
