An interesting restaurant. If you can assure
the door guard that you really want to eat
chinese rather than canadian food they'll
let you in. The food ranged from good to
excellent (crispy rolls and spicy salted squid
in particular). Cost for 6 was $12 each.
Recommended.

Dennis: Annette informs me that she had the veal not pork schnitzel. Her opinion still remains: excellent. I revisited the restaurant the following Tuesday and had their pork schnitzel again. I found it to be merely "very good" this time, as the coating was a bit overcooked. Still, a good place to go for schnitzel.

This is a knife and fork (chopsticks on request)
chinese-canadian restaurant. We ignored the
canadian page of the menu. We weren't quite sure
what to make of the note on the outside door
making note of Guyanese and West Indian style spicing.
The springrolls were homemade and tasty. The
eggroll was crispy but rated only an acceptable
in the taste department.
For a number of the dishes we were asked what
sort of hot level we prefered (Nora was impressed with
how hot "medium" was when it came to the hot & sour soup).
You can pick from mild, medium, hot or suicide. We
went with medium for all the dishes.
The "House Special Fried Rice" (6.25) had a fair
bit of onion greens mixed in. David was a bit
disappointed in the "General Soo Chicken" (a little
more spice, and a bit less dough was needed).
The "Spicy Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables" (8.75) was
bit heavy in the onion department. It did, however,
contain "killer broccoli" which ambushed the taste
buds in the hot! department. The best dish
was the "Beef Lo Mein" (5.95) with generous
portions of beef and thick soft noodles. Delicious.
Cost with tax and tip was $50 for the 4 of us.
A quite enjoyable meal. Annette was pleasantly
surprised. As a restaurant in the "Chinese-Canadian"
category it's recommended by the four of us.
