I've been coming to this place for many years, but this is my first time back in a while. The renovations look good. The place is extremely clean. Was greeted immediately once I walked in. Service was very quick and friendly. The food was also very good and came out quickly. I arrived at 8 pm and wasn't aware they close at 9 pm. The wait staff were still very helpful and did not rush us in any way. Excellent place. Highly recommend.

Pretty good place in the south for some hearty and soul chinese food. We came at dinner time at 630. Luckily no wait, but a line started to form just after. BBQ duck here is bombs. Good flavour and meat is pretty moist. Beef and egg sauce ho fun (flat rice noodles) also worth trying. Fried salt n pepper tofu was also delish. Got the chef's special ling cod and eggplant hotpot, which was pretty yummy as well. Everything came out hot and fresh. Too many dishes to try here. Will definitely be back!

While this restaurant in inauspicious from the outside, it is clean and cosmopolitan on the inside. What the hosts lack in smiles and friendliness, they make up for in professionalism and fast, efficient service. The food though; everything I had was cooked to perfection and was the best version of that thing I have ever eaten. It was so delicious. I live far away, and it breaks my heart that I cannot eat here more often.

Food is excellent here. I had the clay pot rice number 1 which came with Chinese style pork sausage and chicken. To my surprised it came with really well seasoned greens with garlic. Soup came with carrots and a piece of pork. Rice dish itself was very tasty. Rice separated itself really well similar to sushi rice. Chicken was seasoned and topped with green onions and had a sauce on it as well. It was cooked with oil but it doesn't taste greasy which I love. Server was great and told me that the signature dish is the duck and apparently the number one duck dish in Edmonton. Will need to try one day.

We visited from Edmonton and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere—it truly feels like a Hong Kong-style experience. Even the service has that HK vibe: the servers may not go out of their way to greet you warmly, but they’re definitely not unfriendly either. It actually made us feel like we were back in Hong Kong! The food was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Calgary. Thank you!

While inauspicious on the outside, the atmosphere inside is bright, clean and cosmopolitan. What the service staff lack in smiles and friendliness they more than make up for in elegance, professionalism and fast, efficient service. The menu is international and varied. I chose three items off the set menu. Every item I ate was the best version of that item I have ever eaten. I live a few hours drive away but if I lived here, I would eat here very often.

Always a delicious meal and great service. The brisket chow mein, duck, fried garlic eggplant, and French toast are must-haves. There's something for everyone on the menu.
