Good flavour and service, ice cream rolls were aesthetic. The roll itself is harder to eat than just a bowl of regular ice cream though which makes for a lesser dining experience. Also, the time to actually make the ice cream rolls is long. A party of 5 was in front of us waiting for their order, and we waited over 30 minutes sitting on the bench just to get ice cream. This is set up like a take out/walk up/counter ordering place, so having to wait that long is not great without having a dining room. No washroom available. No outdoor seating. Only one person working which made it slow. The ice cream itself wasn’t the best best part, it was the toppings and add ins that were the best part.

The ice cream was good but I truthfully would have rathered scoops just based on how labour intensive it is to watch them make the rolls. Each cup takes about 5-7 mins at least to prepare each.

Believe these reviews.. UNBELIEVABLE FOOD. Flavour, value, authenticity. True Chinese food teeming with freshness and succulence. The entire trip to Toronto was made by this restaurant. WAIT THE 15-30 MINUTES INSTEAD OF GOING NEXT DOOR OR ELSEWHERE. Promise it is so worth it.

The balance of garlics and chiles and ginger and umami and everything in every dish was simply PERFECT. Best Chinese food in Canada swear to god.
