What 604eileenp doesn't like about Cooking Papa:
Looking for a dim sum experience we went for a quick lunch to Cooking Papa. We were Sent to a table next to the window with a beautiful view but “Sorry” removed 2 min later as a client had been offered that table. We ordered a dim sum appetizer the only one available) and two dishes. Clay pot Chicken and eggplant and meat chow fun. Chicken was loaded with fat skin and the beef chow fun was greasy. I cant say Service... View all feedback. What Ilya e likes about Cooking Papa:
If you are looking for upscale Chinese restaurant at affordable price, this is the place! This hidden gem located on water front with majestic view. The food definitely on another level, with presentation and taste incomparable with anything else I've tried. Come at lunch time a get the taste of their signature dishes for half dinner prices. Must have dish: Chicken and mushrooms with XO souce! View all feedback.

The salt and pepper pork was almost all fat. No apology; just offered to substitute with chicken wings (qty.4) for a table of 10 people.

Cooking Papa, a once beloved Cantonese-Hong Kong restaurant, has faced significant changes since a recent change in ownership. Many customers have expressed disappointment in the decline in food quality and variety, as well as price increases. Dishes that were once favorites have been altered in disappointing ways, leaving loyal patrons searching for a new go-to spot. Despite these setbacks, some diners have found solace in the waterfront gem's upscale Chinese offerings and impressive dishes, such as the Chicken and mushrooms with XO souce. Overall, the consensus seems to be that while Cooking Papa may once again find its winning formula, it may be a while before customers return with confidence.
