Small Chinese food restaurant in the food-court of the Village Mall. Great selection of meals and miscellaneous items to choose from. Prices are reasonable, portions are very large, staff is quick and polite. There is something on the menu for everyone. If you can't find something you like from their vast selection of foods then you are much too hard to please. If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for??

Just had the most delicious Chinese food we've had in a long time. Ordered dinner for 8 and it could easily have feed 12-14 people. Couldn't beat the price either. Well worth the money. Will definitely have this take out again.

People are too harsh. I had the chicken balls and rice. The rice was delicious, my only complaint was that the chicken balls were too big, and too thick. I broke my fork trying to pick it up and had to eat the chicken balls with my hands. The staff was lovely and the service was fast. I wish they'd change the chicken balls but other than that I had a lovely experience.

A nice little surprise. Who thinks a Mall food court shop could deliver great food and service? This busy little shop has fresh tasty Canadian Chinese food that packs a punch and doesn’t break your bank. Great value and food. Couldn’t ask for more honestly.
