Yikes! It sounds like from reading old reviews the former receptionist was horrid. Thank goodness this was definitely not the case presently in 2023. The reception who did my intake was amazing and offered me two extra strength Tylenol to go with the Advil I took prior to arriving. She also offered lots of water so I would be able to give an adequate urine sample.
Dr. Black was very knowledgeable and kind. He was thorough in the phone consultation the Saturday before and he was very warm and sincere in the procedure. He was very quick with the procedure but ye Gods, I was not prepared to how quick but super painful the Mirena insertion is. He apologized profusely but all is well. I mean, my pain tolerance is not low but oh my stars. Nothing to do with him; it has lots to do with my anatomy. 😅
Either way, I'm fine now and I am very thankful for the service this clinic provides. Hopefully with this thing in me, my monthly biological punishment will ease off and be less of a burden as well the change should delight my secret admirer.

Great service. Been at this location since their former days when it was Future Shop before the acquisition. The floor rep was nice to help me rule out my decade old wall plug USB-C charger was crapping out versus the charger port of my Samsung device. After deciding this versus wireless charger, second rep on the till was super nice to point out to head over to customer service will take my old charger for recycling.
All in reasonable time. When I'm in a pinch and can't wait for Amazon, this place is decent for most basic electronic needs.

Good deals but the service is very off. The server is polite but the service is very slow for a place that is not understaffed; which I noticed with customers around me sitting waiting a long time for the bill so they can pay and leave. I came on a pasta Tuesday and I think they screwed up my order by giving me the Hungry Carnivore when I believe I ordered Smoky Mountain Spaghetti & Meatballs. The food was good but feels odd eating what I didn't ordered (guess it doesn't matter because it all costs the same on Pasta Tuesday).
Their dessert was very good.

This diner reminds me of 1970s-early 1980s diners in HK, the nostalgic feel similar to 香港八十系列 sitcom series in TVB. I had a feeling my mother took me here to eat when I was really young like over 3 decades ago because I recognized the decor like some strange lucid dream.
Anyway, there used to be HK style diners like this in Chinatown but over time they've disappeared. Those who don't understand the old school mom and pop style are at a generation loss as diners like this is the norm in my parent's generation.
Ordered the Wor Wonton which offers a generous amount of wontons which is amazing. Broth is there to flavor the BBQ pork, wontons, and vegetables; drinking it as standalone is too salty. Overall a very good value.
It's a very good thing my buddy reminded me to head to my bank ATM to withdraw cash as it's hardcore old school doesn't accept debit or credit. That's fine as that is Chinese tradition to avoid processing fees in POS terminals; those who don't understand that are boneheads and I don't recommend you to travel Asia period. Embarrassingly enough I'm a very plastic girl for a first generation Chinese Canadian citizen (yes, constantly admonished by my parents for not carrying cash; even my adorable biracial daughters carry more cash on hand than I do) and I do have my woes in the early 2000s in Chinatown needing to run 4 blocks to the nearest ATM to get cash for restaurants then. 🤣
Definitely will return for a quick budget friendly eat.

Always a wonderful place to pick up good drinks for any special occasion. Friendly staff, decent selection of beer, wine, and spirits. No problem stockpiling up for a good house party.
