very good Chinese restaurant

Been there first time for some authentic Chinese food but left utterly disappointed. The onion cakes were served undercooked. Rest of the food had no flavor it felt like they just dumped the food in plate with just a tossing that also without any spice even the salt. And cherry on top for all the tasteless dishes they charged more than $85 in total. Never going again.

Waited to be seated about five minutes , there was no line just us. When seated it took about ten minutes to even be acknowledged, we were about to leave. In short the service started out weak and progressed to bad. Ordering off the menu is extremely expensive, beef and broccoli was $26.95 and it was average at best. We like to order combo dishes for one but at $29.95 per person that is simply outrageous. Been there done that and will not be back.

Overall, all the foods are good. There are many costumers.

Service is always first class. Authentic Chinese food and the servings are incredibly generous. We come here for family dinners any night of the week. Nice atmosphere and the food is always fresh and delicious. We will be coming back again and again!

I have been going here for years... And for very good reason!!! Continually ranked as one of the best dim sum places in the Edmonton region, you surely will not be disappointed!! They have a fantastic selection, along with a number of regular menu items. Great friendly service and always a tremendous meal!!!

It was unfortunate that my parents were so excited to take us here as they recently had a great food and wanted us to enjoy the food. It was busy and so food came very slow. They were apologetic and so we weren't unhappy about that. However our food arrived not very hot. It felt like it sat at the kitchen for a while before it came to our table. The crispy chicken was chopped so badly that it looked like something I would have done as a home cook, not at a restaurant. The server who was serving the soup had her finger in the bowl while holding the bowl to put soup in them rather than leave the bowls on the table and ladle the soup, not how soup is served at Chinese restaurant. I give them 3 stars as service wasn't bad and food wasn't terrible but very comparable to other restaurants in Edmonton.I am tempted to give it 2 stars because the disappointment of my parents face when they were so excited to take us here and the result was mediocre food.

Came in as a party of 2 for dinner on Saturday. The restaurant was not too busy. After a few minutes we were seated and someone was supposed to come back with the covid QR scanner. We took our time looking at the menu and no server came by. We were seated close to the bar where some staff were standing (so it’s not like they didn’t see us). I’ve been to many Chinese restaurants and have always been offered water or tea within a few minutes of being seated. It was ironic to read the placemat about being a struggling business during the pandemic when they didn’t even bother to serve us. We left after 20 minutes. They didn’t even bring us water. The other table of 2 seated across from us had service before us even though they came in after us. The most insulting part is that I’ve been here many times before (but as a party of 10) and had excellent service. Clearly we weren’t profitable enough to even get service. There are many other Chinese restaurants I’d rather support in this pandemic. We won’t be back.

I had my wedding here, with the restriction exemption program. The staff and service are all exceptional. I was blown away by how professional and accommodating Miranda was. The 10 course banquet was absolutely delicious. Can't say enough how wonderful it was. Gave us plenty of room too, made sure everything was safe and followed guidelines, and gave me the wedding I wanted, despite covid. Highly recommended.
