The first impression upon entry was "Empty Restaurant"! Well there was one other couple finishing up their meal. I tried to crack a joke with the server to break the ice, but she wasn't interested. I seated myself, and she brought the menu right away. There was a photo of a delicious looking Ginger beef on the menu, so I asked if I could have it with a side of noodles. Nope, have to buy a full order of noodles, but I could opt for a combination plate of Dry Ribs, Ginger Beef, Chicken Balls and rice. Noodles instead of rice? I asked: OK, two bucks extra. Well this meal wasn't going to break the bank, so I agreed.The restaurant is bright and reasonably clean, right off the 2A, next to the Boston Pizza. There is plenty of parking, although I had walked. The tables were clean and set with a bowl of package soy sauce etc, although mine needed refilling. I was surprised that it wasn't busier, given the great location. Well that became apparent shortly.The meal came quickly (too quickly, maybe), a large serving as advertised, with the $2 noodles in the middle. The ribs were so dry and tough, that I couldn't wrestle the meat off the bone. The ginger beef was also dry and tough, although boneless, and drizzled with a bland excuse for a sauce. The chicken balls were surprisingly tender, and garnished with a pale yellow glaze that was very sweet, and no sour. The noodles were actually OK, although a little bereft of vegetables. I pushed it around my plate for a while, and then asked the server to package it up. My dog enjoyed it thouroughly once I got home. (I was able to beat the bones off with the help of a sharp knife and cutting block). The only redeeming factor was the price, about $15, including the $2 surcharge, although I would have been far better off at a food court. There is quite a bit of room for improvement here.
