大年初一铁锅炖 — Restaurant in Toronto

This whole thing is BURNT. We cannot eat it at all. The free soya milk has no taste and is not fresh. The side dishes are good. But the whole thing is pricey and the meat has no taste. You have to dip the meat with sauce.

After we realized the pot is burnt, we called the waitress and the waitress said it’s ok to eat it, it is not a problem. However, the pot is getting worse. Because of the burnt pot, all things inside we could not eat it at all.

One of the waitress is really nice and she provided a discount. However, the second waitress just throw the bill at our table and left. They didn’t even apologize.

Be cautious...

Food is mediocre at best. Restaurant’s decor is nice and traditional northern Chinese styled, but the big pot of food was very underwhelming. Ingredients were basic, taste was boring, and price wasn’t cheap. Good concept but the food certainly does not stand out. There is free soy milk but was quite empty and I had to tilt the dispenser to get any out. Found a piece of hair in the meat and was given a discount on the order. Service was satisfactory but not planning...

I am from Northern China and it is quite authentic. We have two families and my friend have been looking forward to this dinner after long trip from US. We were not disappointed. We ordered goose and ribs soup. The soup is very rich and it is hard to stop eating it. It might be too salty for some people. You can ask the waitress refill with new soup to dilute it. Also the corn bread is very authentic. We will definitely visit them again if we come visit Toronto...
