    The service is attentive, and the food good. Remember to ask for chopsticks, and enjoy the only Chinese food place in the Elk Valley. They have burgers and fish and chips for those not up for this Asian cuisine.

    This place serves some of the best North American style Chinese food I've had. It's definitely not traditional Chinese food but it's reminiscent of food court Chinese food in the city, but fresher, tastier, and made with love. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are huge, such that you can take leftovers home and have them for lunch the next day. The fried shrimp looked and tasted perfect. It actually looks like how it would be illustrated in an Asian food cartoon or a neopets 2D megapixel picture of food. The service was excellent and the ladies who work there were very kind and welcoming. Very rural community local Chinese restaurant vibes. Worth trying out.

    We went for the buffet, the restaurant wasn't busy but the buffet was missing 2-3 items each time one of us went up. The food was very bland. We used to love eating here when we visited, it is unlikely we will return.

    A true treasure. A taste sensation. The shrimp and ginger beef were wonderfully. Make it a point to stop at this dine inside shack on the outside and be amazed. Close to the road.

    Very nostalgic! Growing up in small town Chinese Canadian restaurants I always have high expectations and standards. Amazing staff, very kind and friendly! Buffet was great! Very crispy chicken wings, well seasoned friend shrimp, light batter on the ginger beef and sweet and sour pork. Won tons were very well made, lots of flavour and filling was generous! We will definitely come back and recommend to our friends!

    Make sure to get your receipt Was absolutely blown away when I seen they added a 17$ tip. I was going tip, but when seen it was added to recite without my knowledge, and was handed the machine to just pay, it was very disappointing, and food was very disappointing! definitely won’t be back, worth the drive to the pass for Ben wongs! Better potions and much better quality of food.

    The dinner for 4, was incredible, usually we have to substitute one item for another. Not here! Also, usually at least one of the portions is not satisfactory but everything was equally as good as the other. Zero complaints, my wife, kids …
