    Overall: A good bang for your buck place to satisfy a Chinese food craving

    Food: I tried the make your own that included fried noodle, broccoli, and sweet & sour chicken. Portion was incredibly big, definitely lots of food. The chicken and noodles were aplenty but the broccoli was about half the amount. It tasted great, nothing special but satisfied my craving

    Service: Decided to try take out, was maybe 5-10 minutes from order to me walking out of there. Super friendly and fast.

    I stopped by after work and appreciated the value you get, considering the quantities are quite large. The food is oily (but not too oily), and not too salty, so it can definitely satisfy a chinese food craving!

    I got the "make your own meal", and chose the fried noodles, the egg plant tofu, and the spicy chicken. I wish there was more eggplant, as the veggies had mostly tofu. The spicy chicken was indeed spicy (it builds up), and not too oily/salty. The noodles went well with the dish.

    As for the wonton noodles, the wontons themselves were satisfying; large, and with some shrimp. There were more than just 2 pieces of veggies, which was nice, but I only wish the soup were real chicken soup. The soup they had was super light and didn't add much, so not worth drinking.

    The server filled up the water quickly. I sat next to the window so it's good for people-watching on rideau street as well. The rest of the restaurant had all chinese clients, likely students, which is a good sign.

    I would come back if I'm craving chinese food, and might even try their "regular/full" menu, which has prices similar to a chinese restaurant. Next time, I also want to try their bubble teas!

    FOOD
    More on the pricey end for Chinese food but there is a reason! They don't skimp out on the protein for their food!! Love their stir fried beef noodles - packed with wok hay. Comparable to the food I'd get back in Toronto. Love their beef dishes especially the beef and broccoli.

    SERVICE
    Huge seating space, clean tables, and you can book out their party room as well! Don't let the ambiance scare you away. You order at the counter (menus are in eng and Chinese). The menus also have photos of their top dishes. Take out orders come out much faster, perfect if you are in a hurry!

    The normal Chinese takeaway with a little more options.

    Service is good but their wifi doesn't work.

    Food is okay
    Drinks lot of options, I had a jasmine tea.

    Seating is huge and u can either takeaway or eat.

    They won't return the change if you dnt ask fr it. WEIRD!
    Avoid this place as I felt sick after having the tao chicken.

    I really like the fact that this is an unpretentious place with good food and good prices. It is not all 100% authentic but many dishes are and are really well done. Great alternative to food court Chinese food at great prices in a clean and nice setting. The beef rice noodles was my favourite. Nice noodles and well fried on the wok. The Singapore noodles was pretty good too. The wontons and noodle soup was good but a little bland and the wontons were notre pork than shrimps so not authentic but my kids loved them. The chicken and eggplant and tofu on rice is the make your own combo for $8.50 or $8.75. Great deal and my dad thought it was tasty.

    Definitely a welcome addition to the affordable and good Chinese food scene!
