While I used to work here once, I can still attest to this day that the food is delicious and the owners are friendly. The price can be a bit high considering the quality HAS gone down in recent years, but that doesn't mean the food is bad. Not by a long shot.
They have some of the best lo miens, the best spring rolls, and the best single person plates (1a,1b,1c,1d). Not to mention their special dishes being among the best quality.
Depending on the day you visit, your wait time will vary. On weekends, Friday and Saturday specifically, you could be looking at upto 40 minutes because it's busy. On weekdays you're usually looking at 15-20 minutes tops. The busiest day of the year is mothers day and they usually have to hire on additional staff just to cope with the vast number of orders.
During the mother's day rush, the people of North Bay are typically so condescending and so rude to the counter staff that their mothers would be ashamed and embarrassed to hear about. The kitchen is smaller than most, with only three woks and two deep friers, and the food is fresh. You will be waiting a long time for food on mother's day, but you'd be lucky to find better wait times for...
Read moreNot chinese food, not good NA Chinese food. Just disappointment.
Kung Pao with no peanuts, random vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, one sad wilted bit of bok choy, a whole bell pepper cut in quarters, and some white onions) and literally zero Szechuan peppers, instead made with some flavorless sauce that a bag of chilli powder was maybe in the vicinity of once to give it any level of spice or flavor.
If you can't be bothered to even attempt to make the dish properly, why put it on the menu?
Spring roll tasted of rancid oil and was not edible. Rice picked up a fishy smell but I wouldn't have cared if the rest of the food was actually good.
How this place has positive reviews...
Read morePretty good! Only Chinese place open on Mother’s Day so we ordered from here :) Got a dinner for 3 plus extra order of chicken balls and changed the chop suey for general Tao. It was $91 with $10 delivery (in north bay) and %10 tip. The food is by far the best I’ve had out of the other Chinese places.
The chicken balls have an average of I’d say 8-10 chicken balls. The chicken fried rice is in a smaller styrofoam container, everything else is in the typical plastic containers. I will say this is our new go to place even though the portions are a bit smaller just because it taste so good.
Also the delivery lady was super sweet and said happy...
