Was craving the spicy beef and tendon taiwanese noodle. The portions were good. I found the broth a bit on the watery side (lacking a little on the flavor side) but the beef and tendon were cooked and marinated well and made up for it. Overall enjoyed the dish. The deep fried tofu was also yum, a bit much on the sauce which softens it a bit. The black pepper beef and onion (with rice) combo was pretty tasty too.

One of the few places that stays open late in the heart of Whalley downtown if you crave for some Chinese food. The menu is quite complicated, I do wish that they have more pictures to help out people who don’t speak the language because some of the dishes are hard to interpret. I was a bit tick off as they serve warm tea instead of hot tea. I did ask for a change which they change promptly afterward. The deep fried tentacles was tasty but a bit overcooked. The 3 Cup braised chicken has a nice wine, ginger flavour which goes well with rice. The spicy fried fish in garlic sauce was not bad too. Each dish do come with sides of rice, pickles and vermicelli noodle. Portion is good and the price is not bad. Give me a thumbs up 👍🏼 If you like my review.

Got the Sea Food Hotpot Combo and Popcorn Chicken. Sea Food Combo was 17 bucks. Popcorn Chicken was 10 bucks. Total was around 30 bucks. It was a 2 person meal. Popcorn Chicken was way too expensive. Not worth it. The portion was small too. I'd say it was worth 7 or 8 bucks. In picture u can see it looks like a lot but that's because the plate has a bigger surface area. Not a whole lot of height or weight in that bowl. Sea Food Hotpot without the combo was $13 bucks. I got the combo. With or without the combo, worth it in my opinion. This pot had height. Worth the buy. Overall quality of food was good! Service was good. 4.5/5! Lost 0.5 because of the Popcorn Chicken price. I have eaten with this restaurant before. That was 2 years or 3 ago. I dont know if it was the waiters or the chef that was making things difficult but everyone got their foods before my table. We waited almost 1h for our food. The restaurant is better now but because of that experience, I'm rounding my score down instead of up. Overall experience, 4/5. Let's see if they keep up the good work next time!

My favourite place for stewed tofu and fried squid. I noticed food quantity has changed since pre-covid and the tofu is much smaller/thin, but still delicious. (Especially the fried squid!) You may notice residue or stains on all the cups, but the server reassured that its from the hot water they use to wash them.

I got the brisket beef noodle soup after seeing very good reviews. I was a bit disappointed that the soup wasn't as rich in flavor as I had hoped. The beef was very hard and rubbery, probably the worst thing about the whole dish. The noodles and pickled mustard greens were good though. Overall the dish was OK but wouldn't order it again.

Really good Taiwanese and Chinese style food. The portion is a good size and there is definitely enough to take home. The fried chicken and fried squid were has good flavor. The beef curry brisket also tasted vet good. The dishes I order came with side dishes too, which was nice to have. For the price, it is not bad consider they open late and is the only Taiwanese restuarant in the area. I would recommend this place for lunch or dinner.
