Tasty and quick place for dinner in The Beaches. I like their menu with western and Chinese options. I went for their burger with home made patty and it was very yummy. Great spot to grab a quick bite before going to The Fox. Has a side patio too.

Oh, the Goof: we love this joint. Is it the best Chinese-Canadian food you’ll ever have? No, but what it lacks in that department is abundantly made up for in charm and service. Can’t beat it for the price; we’ll definitely be return customers and will try some of their ... diner-style food as well. Read more

Went for lunch with a friend. Service is fast and efficient. Prices were reasonable. The General Tao was average, had a lot of rice on the plate, could use a vegetable on he plate. Spring Roll was hot and crispy. Friend had Shrimp with Bok Choy ... which was delicious. Unfortunately we found a piece of plastic in the meal. Server inspected the plastic, confirmed it was but then made no effort to apologize or compensate in any way. It was a cool nostalgic Toronto restaurant but I will not return. Read more
