This is a Chinese fast food shop located at the International Village in UBC. Their menu consists of combos, which comes with your choice of rice/noodle and 2 or 3 of their pre-prepared items. I had their 2 Items Combo with Fried Rice and Sweet & Sour Pork and Sesame Chicken. The food was fairly good; not great, but solid for a fast food place. The prices are also more than reasonable. This is a pretty solid place at UBC for some quick and tasty lunch.
2 Items + Fried Rice (Sweet & Sour Pork, Sesame Chicken, $8):
3.5/5
Their combos comes with your choice of 2 items and either plain rice or fried rice/noodle for an extra 50 cents (I went with the fried rice). The sweet & sour pork and sesame chicken were both very meaty, well-seasoned and coated in a sweet sauce. They weren't crispy, but that is expected since it's fast food. I did find that the two meats were very similar flavour-wise; apart from being different meats, they did taste almost identical. The rice didn't have much flavour on its own, but was fragrant and paired well with the meat.
Summary:
Food: 3.5/5
Price: 4/5
Service: N/A
Overall: 3.5/5
Recommendations: N/A (they only have combos)
Decent, Cheap Chinese Food. Very affordable Chinese food that is good, especially considering the prices they charge. A bento box with rice and two sides is only $4.99. Probably your best bet for authentic home style Chinese on campus.
My absolute favorite place to grab a bite on the UBC campus. You can’t go wrong with their selection, just trust your stomach! I recommend the fried rice + beef stew and the spicy chicken but really anything they have is fantastic. It’s a cost effective meal as well, $10 for a portion that can even be two meals for some people. The staff is very sweet, the auntie doesn’t really speak English so if she seems rude it’s not that it’s intentional- she’s just focused on making sure she gets you the meal you’re looking for. And having lived in Asia myself, I can attest to the authenticity of this restaurant, even the ambience makes me feel like I’m back in a Singaporean hawker center grabbing some lunch.
