I selected ‘Lougheed Wonton’ for our lunch venue recently - a first time dining experience for us, and one that was long overdue. We arrived and parked out front just a few minutes before it opened at 10:30 am (a Saturday).
We were greeted by a server as we entered and shown to one of the 4-person tables along a side wall of the restaurant. Menus were left (dim sum & lunch specials menu, plus, main in-house menu) - a pot of hot tea arrived quickly after. Our server then left us to ponder the many menu choices. With it being a first time experience there, before placing our order we had a few questions for our server re: particular dishes, and found her to be most-helpful and accommodating, which we sure appreciated.
What was ordered (dishes selected from restaurant’s main menu): Wonton Soup (w/broccoli - large order) — Sweet & Sour Boneless Pork (w/pineapple, green pepper - small order) — Sauteed Rock Cod w/Vegetable Chow Mein (broccoli, bok choy, baby corn, cauliflower, carrot, mushroom) — Spicy Salt & Peppery Squid — Chef’s Special Chow Mein w/Soft Noodles (bok choy, mushroom, prawns, squid, chicken, bbq pork).
Dishes came from kitchen to table in a nice even, and timely manner, the ingredients of each looking fresh, bright, and appetizing, and definitely perking the taste buds. Subsequent savouring of all the various aromas, textures, and tastes, sure proved the excellent quality and freshness of ingredients used, and skills in the kitchen with their preparations. Absolutely nothing greasy, salty, or overcooked. Dishes distinctly, but rather subtly flavoured — cooking methods, and sauces, stocks, and spices used, each contributing to these overall wonderful tastes, but nothing overtaking the end result.
It’s been a long while since I (we) have been served, and truly-enjoyed Cantonese Chinese cuisine as authentic and well-prepared as these dishes!!
Wonderful Chinese dining experience. I love their chicken chow mein, all types of fried rice, and spicy pork spare ribs. We sometimes order lobster with blackbean sauce, which is truly awesome. But the lobster is obviously expensive so we can only afford to order once in a while...

was recommended this place by my bestie. had my early Father's Day dinner here yesterday. good thing i made a reservation because the place started to get REAL busy in 30 minutes (we were there at 5:30pm). lots of ppl were standing ard the main area for pick-up. the decor isn't the greatest, i have to admit and same with the service. the waitresses were rushing us a bit for our order. they tried to justify it by saying that it'll get busy so better put your order ASAP but still. didn't rly like that but that was the only downfall of the evening. we ordered a 3-dish dinner set that came with rice, soup and dessert. we had a roast pork and sole filet pot, Peking pork chops and fresh squid with choy sum. the pork chops were delish - i didn't like the peas that came with the dish but meh. the pot was loaded with the sole filets, not a highlight for my dad lol. and the veggie dish was all veggies - not the usual chinese skimp out when it comes to veggie dishes. the soup came in an old-fashioned pot - so cute i missed seeing those. the rice wasn't that loaded in the pot but im sure you can ask for refills. dessert was a choice of a chinese sweet soup (red bean was the one that night) or mango pudding. i had the mango pudding - not overtly sweet, it had the robinson mango jelly/pudding taste (HK peeps will know what im taking abt) but lacked mango fruit in it which was a bummer. the red bean soup, which my parents had, was good but rather too thick. going to come back again and try some other stuff - maybe dimsum too!
