Next time we’ll dine in. Food was great! The Hong Kong lemon tea is strong! Kept me up all night ?

Eat left Cantonese fried river and dry fried beef riverThe taste of the album is a bit bland, but it’s not bad at allThe bottom of the fried noodles is crispy and soft, and the fried noodles are very good, but the taste is really not rock solid.But it’s just as delicious as milk tea and soup.If you want to go there, it is recommended to make a reservation. The wait is very difficult.

I have a love and hate relationship with this place. I love the food for its authentic homemade Cantonese style dishes, but the wait can be tiresome. Maybe it's because it's one of the very few authentic Chinese places to go to in Aurora and Newmarket. But man, the 1 hour wait in the dining room is getting ridiculous. The fact that I bring a pack of cards to play with my 4 and 7 year old is getting out of hand. We would come here every weekend and anticipate for an hours wait. Mind you, other families just throw on a tablet for their kid(s). Otherwise, food is great, and generous portions and prices are affordable. This is why we wait for an hour to eat. Keep in mind that takeout isn't that much faster IMO.Enjoy, but be prepared to WAIT for your food.

This is one of the few Hong Kong restaurants in the north that tastes good! I have been here many times, but every time there is a problem with the seating arrangement. Takeaways are always given priority. There is a long queue at the walkin, and you have to wait for a long time even if you get a reservation.The food tastes okay, but the queue problem is not properly handled and it is a waste of time.This time we arrived before 6 o'clock and got our card number. After waiting for 40 minutes, there was no one in front of us and it was almost our turn! It was already past 6:40 for grandma, and she actually arranged a phone reservation for 6:30. Although it was difficult for us to make arrangements because there were so many people, our two families agreed that we could have one table for 3 people, and another table for 5 people! I drove over at 5:30 and kept calling to make an appointment, but I couldn’t get through! Why was the seat assigned immediately after the one who came at 6:30? Is there any VIP difference? ? ? ? ? So I decided to change restaurants! No more waiting, so depressing!As an owner and manager, knowing that there are so many people queuing up in the restaurant, why can you give priority to a late phone reservation? And why can't we do it on a first-come, first-served basis? Anyway, we have been here many times, and many of the employees in the restaurant are also fellow residents, and we have had a pleasant chat with each other. It feels like we are not VIPs, but we can see that those people are not VIPs either.In the end, the boss said sorry...

Golden HarborI ordered takeout by phone at 16:45, and arrived at the store at 18:15. It was not ready yet. I said I had to pick up the food before I started cooking. I waited in the store for 20 minutes.It’s like this every time ?

On Saturdays at lunchtime, there's usually a 30-minute wait to get in.I tried the off-menu salt and pepper squid, and it was absolutely fantastic! The texture was crunchy, and the flavor was delightful.I also enjoyed the mixed meat on a sizzling plate; it was flavorful and came in generous portions.Their tomato soup was good, and I appreciated that they didn't skimp on the lemon in their lemon tea!However, one thing that wasn't great was that the noodles in the soup were overcooked and already starting to break when you scooped them.Additionally, the service flow was still a work in progress during this busy hour, but you could see that most staff were trying their best.We will be back for sure!

I usually don't leave reviews but this place had the audacity to forget our order and pretend thay they didn't. 35 minutes for a sweet and sour pork. The icing on the cake was when a table that came in after us got theirs first. Food is not bad, but not the best either. If they are that busy, they probably won't notice if I start helping out in the kitchen as well.

Finally an authentic Hong Kong style restaurant in the Aurora/Richmond Hill area. Only open for 5 months and I’ve lived in the area for 20 years so this is a long time coming. I almost don’t want to write this review cause I don’t want more people to know how amazing it is. I’m Chinese and a foodie and have dined at the best places in Toronto and HK. We ordered honey pepper fish, sweet and sour pork, beef brisket curry with rice, house rice noodles and every dish was WOW. The staff are so friendly, it feels like home. Had dinner for the first time last night and heading back with more family tomorrow morning. I almost never write reviews so it’s this good.

Food was good, but not excellent. Service was good. Atmosphere was average!We went there for lunch. We are 3 ladies and ordered 3 dishes. Portion was large. Lemon ice tea was good. Hot milk tea was good. We waited around 15 mins for our table. It was very busy at 12:30pm.

We came here for afternoon tea. We ordered 乾炒牛河 (Beef Stir-Fried Flat Noodle) and 鴛鴦意粉(Baked Pork Chop & Chicken Fillet with 2 Sauce on spaghetti noodle). Both dishes came with large portion. The beef noodle was excellent, with plenty of beef slices and 好有鑊氣. The two sauce spaghetti came with a lot of meat. The pork chop on the red sauce and the chicken on the white sauce were both very tender. The red sauce was very sweet and ketchup-based which I liked but my partner didn’t. He however liked the white sauce which I didn’t since I could taste the coconut oil they made it with. The service here is really good for a Cantonese restaurant. Overall, the food are great value for the price and I would come back again.
