Best Chinese in the city. I would suggest ordering off the extensive menu rather than a combo platter. The Cod in black bean sauce is amazing!

Chicken balls were musty, cherry sauce was fausty, beef and broccoli was bland, overall disgusting.Very dissapointed

This establishment is an icon in downtown St. John's that has not wavered in their quality over the decades. The combo specials are still delicious, the atmosphere welcoming & cozy, the takeout fast, and the prices unbeatable!!!

We had a pickup order of two rice items and other items too. Rice items are so hard to eat and anther item was soggy too, i called them and ask for refund the rice items and they are arguing I was 20 min late. I asked how they gonna prove that they didn't cook it way earlier?I am so disappointed, i was taking service from them more than 7 years and this is the first time I reached to them.Their serive now a days is very poor. Sorry, i will not return back.

Arrived here at 7pm, and they're closed. Absolutely unprofessional, and an embarrassment for this establishment to be posting that they are open till 9pm Friday evening, yet they are closed.

Ordered on for dash. Beef and broccoli had almost no taste. Spicy shrimp noodles had very little spice and 3 dime sized shrimp. Was very disappointed.

Not authentic. And not great taste.Examples...Hot and sour soup: No tofu, bamboo shoot, no egg...Too sour, and they used char siu as the meat... not authentic. I'm ok with non authentic as long as it tastes good though. But it didnt taste too great. Not inedible but not great.GongPao chicken: Decent. Sauce ok. Small serving size.Seafood sizzling plate: Not bad. Actually quite good tbf. Nothing to complain there.Green bean chef ? special:Bruh so bad. Not authentic and had a weird aftertaste then realized they put BACON!? in the green beans whut!?!?! This was not the right dish.Overall, service was quite good. Can't have too high food taste expectations because it isn't China or Toronto ON/Vancouver BC... however it's a decent effort and for that I'd give this a shot if you were craving Chinese food.But WAIT!But... my friend had stomach ache and upset stomach within 30 min after the meal. I won't go into detail but yeah..... Might've just been not used to the types of food Chinese people eat, as I was ok. I'd say the food was safe to eat so it's not due to unsanitary food. All cooked well. But this was not a great look, def something about the food.I'd give this establishment a 5/10. Just enough to be decent food. At least all the meats were moist and not dry or tough to bite. And tastes were not crazy or way off. Decently mediocre if I'm honest.Parking: Street parking free in weekend and paid weekday!

Foods good staff is nice only thing is the place is dated looking and dark reminds me of my grandmother's livingroom, there's a lot of items on the menus probably to many, the flambe is hot like radiating heat at your table so when every other table gets them and your eating with these huge flames all around it's a good show the first time then it's just hot and a bit much when it happens for the 4th time and your just trying to eat some fries rice without loosing an eyebrow.
