  Had an excellent Dungeness crab dish and a spicy cucumber salad ,  both were excellent. The menu was a bit of a challenge to navigate because we can't read Chinese & there is a very limited amount of English on the menu. I live near by so would for sure return

  Recently referred by a family friend to try this restaurant, as the Chef is supposedly from Taste Good Seafood Restaurant on Marine Drive, one of his signature dish is the Crispy Chicken with Sticky Rice, he is also famous for his Double Boiled Chicken and Pig Tripe Soup.
  
  As we passed by the neighbourhood, we stopped by to try their Dim Sum lunch, we came at around 12:30pm on a Thursday and the dining room was semi busy, we got a table right away. Dim Sum menu is your regular fare, nothing jumped out.
  
  All the dim sum were done with above average standard, I would say this would be good alternative to come as it would be easier to get a table more so then others around the area.
  
  After looking around for other items they are promoting: such as Sea Bass in a Hot Pot, Fresh Lobster and of course their Crispy Chicken with Sticky Rice, Haiyi will be on my list for a Chinese Dinner gathering with friends.  Just to see if indeed the Chef has kept his skills from the previous restaurant he made famous!!

  Came here for a family dinner.
  
  Parking is available in the lot in front of the building, as well as on the side streets.
  
  The restaurant itself is fairly spacious. They have partitions for private events as well. Looks like they've renovated recently.
  
  Staff were friendly and professional.
  
  Food was overall quite tasty. No complaints. Consistent with all the other Chinese restaurants out there. Quality is quite good. See photos.
  
  Pricing was very reasonable as well, at under $20 a person.

  This is an update to my previous review. I had to change the star rating from 4 to 3 stars. My second time going there was not as good as my first time. There is some inconsistency in the chef's culinary skill. Guess it depends on his mood. Also it does take a long time for the food to come out. Guess I won't be going there any more.
  
  -------
  
  I am surprised about this place. You really have to try their specialty crab. Its very flavourful. I would say the rating would be a 4 stars due to flavor and reason why its not a 5 is because the meat was over cooked (or maybe its just so with the crab we ordered). It's definitely getting there to be a 5. Also if you dine in here monday to friday, the crab is $20 each.
  
  The other dishes we ordered:
  Braised spareribs
  Pumpkin + Seafood
  Soy Sauce Chicken
  
  Every dish was very tasty. I really liked it. Very authentic and the chef is really skilled in his culinary art.
  
  The restaurant is kind of small. So its not like they have a lot of tables. Have to come early and make sure you make a reservation. As well, parking is limited in their parking lot. Good thing is that there are free parking spots on the street.

  We ordered three dishes and it was more than enough food for three of us.
  Some items on the menu didn't have English translation. I had Cantonese speakers with me to translate, but I wish they had English translation on the menu.
  
  Rice in Clay Pot - minced pork and octopus on rice in clay pot $35.20
  $8.80 for one order and min. 4 orders
  There was so much rice in the clay pot. I recommend ordering this if you have 6+ people.
  
  Scallops & Eggplant dish $23.80 (I'm not sure what the actual name of this dish is because there was no English translation on the menu)
  The eggplant was very flavorful and I loved it! I will definitely order this dish again!
  
  Beef and Vegetables with rice noodles $16.80
  This was such a good deal! Very generous portion which can feed multiple people!! The pic was taken after serving three plates (almost forgot to take a pic.)
  
  We shared all three dishes amongst the three of us and we have leftovers for the next 3 meals!!
