Best Chinese BBQ in Town!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's hands down the best Chinese barbeque spot in the city. I highly recommend their chow mein, fried rice, and char siu and ribs. While the line can sometimes be long, the wait is absolutely worth it.

Hot Food, Mixed Duck Experience
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The food was served hot and tasted very fresh. I particularly enjoyed the noodles, finding them very good. However, my experience with the duck was not as enjoyable as I remembered from my younger days; the flavor seemed to be lacking. The service and atmosphere both received high ratings of 5, indicating a pleasant overall dining environment and attentive staff.

Favorite BBQ on Clement, Wish They Were Open Mondays
I love this place; it's my favorite BBQ shop on Clement. My only wish is that they were open on Mondays, as that's the easiest day for me to get there. I've been going for years when I can, and the service has always been just fine. As for the atmosphere, it’s takeout, so what do you expect?

Mixed Experience with Rude Staff and Good Food
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of frustration and satisfaction. The service from one particular staff member, described as a lady with glasses and a white cap, was very rude. She ignored my requests for napkins and utensils, and when I asked again, she dismissively told me to wait. Her explanation for not providing these items unless rice or food requiring chopsticks was ordered was baffling and unwelcoming. However, the rest of the staff, including a friendly female and a male employee, were wonderful. They provided napkins and utensils with excellent service. The food was also good and worth the price.

Rude Cashier, Unpleasant Payment Experience
My experience at this restaurant was marked by a very unpleasant interaction with the cashier. The cashier, described as a lady with glasses, displayed a negative attitude throughout our visit. When my friend politely requested extra napkins in Cantonese, she did not respond while processing our transaction. Upon a second request, she became visibly upset and responded with "JUST WAIT AND HOLD ON! ". Later, when I attempted to pay with my phone for paperless payment, the phone needed to be slanted for the transaction to work. The cashier asked me to try again, and then grabbed my phone, stating "Debit no credit! ". It would have been more helpful if she had simply stated that they only accept debit cards instead of physically touching my phone.

Delicious Food, Fast Service, Easy to Find
My experience at this deli was fantastic! The food was prepared deliciously, and there was a great variety of food. The service was fast, and it was easy to find, located right at the crossroads. Payment was in cash.

High-Quality Food, Worth the Price
My experience at this restaurant was centered around the food quality, which was really high. I especially loved the fried fish when it was available. The black pepper spare ribs and the very potato-heavy chicken curry were amazing with white rice. While it's not cheap, it's definitely not expensive. Two items with white rice are worth it for a couple of small meals or one very large one.

Disappointing Roast Pork Experience
I do not recommend buying the roast pork from this establishment. On several occasions when ordering a rice plate, the elderly lady carving the roast pork refused to cut any for my plate. She insisted on having me buy a large strip instead. If I asked a second time, she would serve it with a lot of unnecessary attitude.

Disappointing Chinese Takeout Experience
I visited for some quick Chinese takeout and noticed the restaurant seemed to be undergoing partial construction. I ordered the deep-fried salt and pepper shrimp, chicken wings, and their Chinese sticky rice. Unfortunately, the chicken wings were a bit under-seasoned and greasy, and the sticky rice lacked flavor, requiring soy sauce to enhance it. The total for these three half-pound dishes was $32, which felt a bit higher than expected. While they accept credit cards, there's a $15 minimum. Parking in the area is consistently an issue with no free lots available. It might be convenient for locals, but it's not worth a special trip given the many comparable options nearby.

Soy Sauce Chicken is a Must-Try!
Do yourself a favor and order the whole soy sauce chicken. While everything else is great here, I believe their soy sauce chicken is a notch above the rest!
