Yooooo they update their menu!!!!! Before the updated, I would probably only rate for 3 or 4 stars, but the new dishes are so goood!!! I would recommend all their signature dishes (the one in separate sheet than main menu. I don’t recommend the noodle soup (小锅米线） it tastes okay but just not that good when you compare with other noodle soup restaurants. Also it’s pretty oily…? So don’t eat if you don’t like it.
I have been coming here since they opened during Covid. Yunnan food has always been my favourite genre among all the Chinese cuisine because of its uniqueness. Even if there are lots of local ingredients that are hard to get in Canada, this restaurant still work hard to make the flavour as close as possible. I have been bringing all my family and friends here, and it’s always a great feast with a big group of people. I’m also happy to see that they constantly bring new dishes onto the menu! The spiciness has been adjusted over the years to adapt to the local taste. What I always order is 黑三剁，小锅米线，傣式沙拉 and 汽锅鸡. 鸡米芽菜is also pretty good if anyone in the group doesn’t eat pork. They use lard to heat up the wok when cooking some of the fried rice, better ask ahead of time if someone in the group wants vegan or halal option!
Overall, an authentic Chinese restaurant to enjoy with you family and friends! Service: Great service! The servers were really enthusiastic and cheerful. They were super patient with us. Additionally, the food arrived very fast. Atmosphere: the atmosphere was great! The place was decorated with traditional Chinese structures, and the restaurant gave off a very regal yet comfy vibe. Food: the food was INCREDIBLE! Super aromatic and flavorful; I loved every bite. I especially adored the spicy beef(?) on an open fire (see 1st photo). It was so incredibly delicious. 10/10.
Very authentic Chinese cuisine! Atmosphere and service was welcoming, and the rice wine was some of the best. This is a must try if you’re looking for Chinese food in the area!
