Food tasty but highly overpriced for the quantity they serve. Ordered beef with onion and ginger for takeout. $20.99 tax. When I opened it at home I was appalled at the quantity. Not possible for 2 ppl to share the plate. Can see the bottom of the container. It was that little. Then they only accept cash. Who carries cash in this digital age. If u take from their ATM that means another charge on u. Too expensive and too little for a whole in the wall place. SWATOW IS OUT FOR ME IN THE FUTURE.

Must try.... Food is really good they serve a different variety of food from rice to noodles pork beef fish vegetables.... service is fast our order take about 15 minutes This restaurant is likely a family own business and stuff are most likely relatives. The restaurant is not so big about 10 to 12 table.... Price is reasonable. Serving is enough . We are not able to finish the food so we take out the remaining food and finish it at night in our hotel You can really taste and smell the food was cook in chinese wok pan with high heat and stir fry. Fast cooking made the vegetables crunchy at and meat tender and juicy and the fried rice soft inside and smell the smoke outside. Its really chinese way of cooking. Usually most chinese restaurant in canada are often chinese Cantonese. They are really good in cooking... I was a little bit upset with the attitude of this front deck stuff frowning face at all time. She should not be in the front deck of an business in the first place how can you attract customers to come in if that is you attitude toward customers.
