A small, family-run Chinese-Canadian restaurant in Omemee has been lauded for its fresh and flavorful dishes. While there were some delays in service, customers found the food to be well worth the wait. Highlights included hot and sour soup, honey garlic spareribs, and delicious house specials. Travelers passing through appreciated the convenient location along Highway 7. Portions were generous and prices reasonable, making it a worthwhile stop for those in search of quality Chinese cuisine in the Lindsay/Kawartha Lakes area. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere added to the overall positive dining experience.

We order from this place all the time, the food is good, and quantity is large. Lots of people must feel the same, as the parking lot is always full.
