Description

At this quaint Chinese restaurant, experiences vary widely among patrons. While some revel in generous portions, vibrant flavors, and excellent value—particularly praising dishes like crispy chili beef and lamb in black bean sauce—others have been disappointed by dishes lacking in taste and appeal, such as bland fried rice and overly sour ribs. Despite occasional issues with delivery times and MSG concentration, many customers find the food generally enjoyable and commend its affordability. For those craving authentic Chinese flavors, this spot remains a worthwhile destination, though sticking to familiar classics might yield the best results.

Stayed at an old school friends last weekend and we ordered from here a first time for me! Chicken fried rice was okay, lacking in colour. I was really impressed with the squid starter and the lamb in black bean sauce had a lovely amount of flavoursome sauce, not too watery, nice and thick. The crispy seaweed was a good potion too! Overall food was not as greasy as some places and one of the better Chinese Ive had for a long time! Only downsides 1. Maybe a bit too much MSG used ? 2. The Uber eats order took a very long time to cook and deliver and for these reasons alone, 4 star.

If they go to a Canto place, they must stick to the classmates: chow my, sweet and sour pork, wontons etc. this is not the place to try Thai food or curry. so based on, oriental master chef is great. chow mine are up there with the best, even the dimsum are solid, large portions and affordable. I've become regular.

Always a great service of these youngs. fast delivery and always hot. standard go for chinese in the opposite!

This restaurant was disappointing. I specifically requested two types of fried rice, not white rice, but I was served boiled rice with chicken once again. The sweet and sour ribs had very little meat on the bone and were overwhelmingly sour with no sweetness. Overall, it was not an enjoyable experience. The quality has decreased significantly since I first started coming here. It's no longer worth it.

I ordered food for dinner but it never arrived. After waiting for 2 hours, they canceled my order and completely ruined my evening!
