"We were there celebrating two birthdays. Our server Faith was wonderful. She was attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable about the menu. We were a table of 6 and ordered quite a bit of food, some of which was great and others lackluster. The bao buns were great and the small calamari salad was huge and those who had it said delicious. The spareribs were good as well as the edamame dumplings, although the way those were served made it hard to fully enjoy. Each dumpling should be on a individual type spoon so you can enjoy the soup part as well as the dumpling. The way they were served in one large bowl with only one spoon made it so the soup part is left at the bottom. I did request extra spoons from the expediter but they never came. The worst part of our appetizer course was somehow an item was switched to another in the computer and served to us. It had shellfish in it and that wasn’t known when someone at our table who doesn’t eat shellfish ate it. The sashimi was good but the tuna tartare thing was really bad. The entrees we had were the duck, which I was told was delicious, the miso cod, which was fishy, the whole fish which was tasteless, the lobster fried rice, which was okay but lacking flavor. The best dish was the black pepper beef, it was delicious and elegantly served. We had all the sides and all were quite good especially the eggplant and the wasabi mashed potatoes. It was a nice evening but it felt a little stale for a Starr restaurant."

"for the caliber of this restaurant the expectation fell to the quality of their kitchen. the supper removal, although interesting, really didn't dare me. there is probably a reason why for hundreds of years no other Chinese restaurants want to hot and acidic suppe in. add their suppenknödel. the dizzy skin was a bit on the soggy side and could use more broth flour and warm water ratio. the highlight of the evening, peking ente, was good, but not great. Although it had a hauch of Smokey aroma, it was in the regular relatiw bland that rely too much on the sose to offer the aroma, so it a bit more on the sweeter palette. this duck in my preference, is much better than the quan ju de in vancouver ente, but it is not too nycs peking duck house or orlandos morimoto asia fit. as you can see on the photos, the presentation could really use some improvements especially on the siu mai. all stitched together on a side of the steamer do not come over $8 per piece. what I didn't bother to make the photo is the unpacks that are all wrapped with rice paper in between, compared to other peking ducks that fold them in a spiral that is easy to separate but also elegantly presented. the service is acceptable for a fine essstätte, but again nothing to write home. it is disappointing that the fine restaurants in vancouver only match other facilities in the price."
