Came here before they closed for their mid-day break on a rainy Sunday for a late lunch.
We got their Tang Du Style Smoked Chicken, Vinegar Six Mix Combination Salad, Oyster Sauce Beef Slices, Sweet and Sour Pork and Cumin Lamb with Buns.
Their Tang Du Style Smoked Chicken is a signature winner that people specially pay a visit for; there’s a subtle Cumin-infused smokiness that comes through without being overpowering. The chicken is moist and has been marinated and soaked in salt so the flavour has really been absorbed by the meat. This makes the perfect dish to wash down with some beer or Chinese vodka (Er Guo Tou) between a few mates (or not).
The Vinegar Mix Combination Salad was perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, comprising tomatoes, cucumbers, shittake/wood ear, carrots, peanuts, and onions. Refreshingly tasty, and generously portioned for an entree!
Oyster Sauce Beef was extremely tender and succulent! The seasoning was just right; not too salty but enough to make a statement. It wasn’t greasy and presentation was well-done for a casual Chinese restaurant. The bed of broccoli at the bottom was cooked to perfection too!
Sweet and Sour Pork was absolutely divine! Fresh out of the pan, the coating is golden and crispy but definitely not greasy. The coating is made from sticky rice, giving it a new texture and chew. The sauce was perfectly sweet and sour but didn’t drown the crispness of the pork out. Unlike other restaurants, the sauce definitely didn’t leave you feeling oily or thirsty.
Cumin Lamb with Buns was good! Although their Buns were not house-made, the explosive flavours from the lamb and onions made up for this dish. The only downfall is the portion size is a bit smaller than other Chinese restaurants down Dominion Road.
Overall, it was one of the better Chinese restaurants we’ve been to in a while. They don’t add MSG or overloaded with salt and we didn’t leave feeling thirsty or full from grease. The owner is a young man who loves to talk and is extremely friendly! Flavours hit all the right spots and come out fresh from their kitchen. Their menu is extensive with lots of variety and different Chinese cuisines to choose from. Their pricing is also fairly reasonable! I would recommend anyone nearby to pull over and give them a try!
This meal set me back by $105 between 4 adults and 1 child; which we completely cleared the plates because it was that good! We left on full and happy stomachs.

Tried to get a table, but they were short staffed and had a long expected wait. We ordered their smoked chicken as a takeout. Nice flavour, but too dry in texture.
