Not sure why previous reviewers were so harsh. The food was excellent. egg rolls had some herb flavours that were new to me. the fried wontons had authentic Chinese stuffing. Chicken balls were best my wife have had, juicy, flavourful, and large. Price is higher than big city, but expected

This Chinese-Canadian restaurant in the area is one of the best around. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious. I highly recommend trying the soups, especially the hot and sour soup. My top picks are the house special rice and the Cantonese chow mein. Don't miss out on the honey garlic spareribs and spring rolls, as well as the surprisingly amazing cheeseburger. Also, be sure to take some time to admire and support the beautiful artwork displayed on the walls by local artists.

The best Chinese food around. We make the drive from Lindsay for take out. If they say it will be ready in 30 minutes, assume it will be more like 45 minutes to an hour, so just time your order accordingly.

Amazing and fresh. We have been looking for years in the Lindsay/Kawartha Lakes area to find good Chinese food and none in Lindsay compare to this. Everything is freshly made, and had SO much taste. We will be returning customers!

The take-out from this restaurant was excellent. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, and the order was ready on time. The service was friendly and the prices were fair for the generous portions of food.
