Everything I've had has been very well done, but I think to really experience this restaurant it would be best to go in a group, take some chances with a few of the more unfamiliar menu items and share!

This restaurant on Vancouver Island offers a mix of Westernized Chinese dishes and authentic regional specialties. While some items may be a miss, such as the salty eggplant and dry fried rice, other dishes like the pork "Hamburger" and the beef in chili oil are described as great. The service is attentive and accommodating, with staff going above and beyond to recommend dishes and ensure a positive dining experience. With reasonable prices and flavorful food, this restaurant is worth a visit for those seeking something beyond the usual sweet and sour pork and chow mein.
