  Small Cantonese restaurant on No. 3 Rd across from City Hall. This restaurant has been around for a long time. My family ate here when we moved first to the area more than 20 years ago. Even though it is right on No. 3 Rd, it is not very noticeable.
  
  Went there on a Saturday for dinner and they were doing good business, but we got a small table without a wait. Seating is a little cramped. The decor looks more like a western restaurant than a Chinese place. The menu is pretty big like most Cantonese restaurants. They have a lot signature soups which require reservation in advance, but you can get the pork stomach tofu skin soup. The soup is a bit pricey at $38, but it tasted excellent and got that nice creamy flavor. Even the ingredients, which were separated out in a separate dish, tasted great. Definitely were using high quality pork and pork stomach to make the soup.
  
  For the rest of the dishes, we got the chef's special of stir fried pork neck meat with sweet peas and Chinese celery. The neck meat got that bounce and juiciness to the bite, and tasted great. Also got the cod and tofu claypot, and that was delicious as well. The tofu and the fish just had so much flavor. Lastly, we got half of their ginger chicken. Compared to the other dishes, this was the weakest of the bunch. It didn't taste bad, but the taste and texture just didn't stand out. All the food was served pretty quickly.
  
  Overall, this was the best Cantonese dinner I've had in a while. This place is on the pricier side, and doesn't have the look and decor of other similarly priced Cantonese restaurants in the area.

  This restaurant is only open for dinner 5:00-9:00 and somehow they are still in business? The price of the menu items make up for the fact but this place according to my uncle is extremely busy during the four hours they are open.
  
  We were celebrating my grandfathers birthday as well as the 7th month mark of my baby cousin. We arrived around 5pm and there are convenient parking spaces in the back lot (watch out though and park near the end of the lot as cars will park right in the middle near the doors and might block your car)
  
  I don't know the dish names but I'll try to explain them as best I can.
  
  We first had the soup with what I think was tofu skin and either pork or beef. They brought the meat on the side to dip in a spicy soy sauce. One of my favourites was the huge dish with fried tofu, fried ribs, and fried geoduck. It was so good and had jalapeños on it as well.
  
  We preordered this huge dish which was a duck with spinach simmered in sauce and inside the duck was glutinous rice. I personally didn't enjoy this dish but my family loved it.
  
  The dish of the night for me was the geoduck fried egg. The egg was perfectly scrambled but not too scrambled, it was still a little liquidy and melted in your mouth. The geoduck was very flavourful and worked so well with the egg.
  
  Other dishes were sizzling beef, eggplant and tiger prawns, a plate of veggies, and stirfried razor clams. All these dishes were delicious and the quality was great.
  
  For dessert we had red bean soup as well as coconut pudding. As a special treat we also got red bean filled buns that were shaped and coloured like peaches. Loved the buns and the coconut pudding. Not the biggest fan of the red bean soup so I didn't drink it.
  
  Our total came to $530 which is really expensive considering what we ate. Of course the ingredients and the seafood were expensive but overall I believe it could've been a lot cheaper. But since the restaurant is only open for a short amount of time, I understand why the prices are this way.
  
  I wouldn't come here regularly, but it is great for special occasions or for night outs.

  Came here as a recommendation from a friend and was very satisfied! The only thing is for a seafood restaurant their selection is a bit small. They don't have any clams or mussels but they do have lobster and crab.
  
  We ordered the beef satay with vermicelli and there was a very good amount of beef! Was pleasantly surprised. Also ordered the chicken with ginger and green onion and steamed crab with garlic. The food was quite good without being overly greasy.
  
  The service was very good! The waiters were very attentive and changed our plates 4-5 times throughout our meal. The dishes came out quick and servers checked up on us to ask how we're doing and brought tea without us asking.
  
  Would've given a higher rating if they had more seafood selection but definitely would go back to eat again.

  Foods are very fabulous here. You could see lots of famous Chinese artists have come here for dining as shown in the pictures hanging on the wall, especially the artists from Hong Kong. They have newly renovated the restaurant which makes it more grand. The food's portion is quite large. Though the price is not cheap, I would say you get what it worths.
  
  It's good to take your VIP friends to have the geoduck sashimi in this restaurant. I would recommend anyone interested in authentic Cantonese cuisine to dine here.

  Very authentic traditional Cantonese food. My father-in-law who grew up and lived in Hongkong for 40 plus years, said that he wasn't even able to find the same kind of flavor in Hong Kong when he went back in 2017. Jelly fish and black pepper lamb belly soup was definitely the highlight of the night.
  
  Contrary to other reviews, I found the service attentive and quick. How the waitstaff interacted with us brought back fond memories from dining in Canton and HK.
