It wasn't for me, the flavours were muted relative to expectations and there were more inedible parts than I would have expected.

The fried fish with brown sauce had the skin on but it was slimy not crispy and it (along with the, as expected, bones) needed to be removed before consumption.

The general's chicken, as warned upon ordering, was cut up pieces of chicken breaded, gristle and bones included

The BBQ duck was the same as the previous two; bones cut along with meat inro pieces, not crispy (perhaps the Beijing duck which requires 24 hours notice is the peking duck I hoped for), and the fat was not fully rendered.

The sweet and sour chicken was typical, perhaps a little less flavourful but no real complaints.

The chicken fried rice and egg roll were both fine.

The buns, which I didn't try, looked quite good and got the highest praise from the others at the table but we received 5 instead of 6.

I didn't try the Cantonese noodles or buns because I cannot eat pork and there weren't descriptions on the website so I didn't want to chance it, it wasn't for any thing about the appearance of the dishes.

I have no doubt there are combinations of dishes one could order that would be much better than the result I ended up with...

NOT SPONSORED!! If you are tired of simply steamed or boiled seafood, come here for their secret menu (need to book in advanced).

The chef is from Hong Kong, and cooks authentic Cantonese dishes. Yet, the owner, coming from Shandong province, has brought plenty of influence to the overall cooking.

This is your one-stop chinese food exploration. The menu offers Sichuan style "numbing pepper" hot plates; well balanced Cantonese cuisine; rare but filling and satisfying northern flavors. And yes, Dim sum is only a part of Cantonese food.

People working in the kitchen and on the floor are super friendly: they constantly check in with you, tell you some fun stories behind the dishes.

I know it's "just" a diner. It's always full, constant calls and Uber eat orders. If you truly want the most authentic cultural experience and atmosphere, this is THE...
