  Cash only interesting restaurant almost at the end of Chins town. Overall, simple meals mostly of meat and rice, served in portions large enough for 2-3 people. Because the food is dead cheap, they cut really close to the margins on cleanliness and service.
  I got their triple meat item, duck pork and chicken, served on a heap of rice. Chicken and duck were tasteless but pork was really good.
  The place was packed full which I didn't expect.
  There is sitting but no one sits you. No frills whatsoever.
  I'm undecided if I'll go back but probably if I ever feel like cheap Chinese.

  Wow. Where do I begin?
  
  Wonton noodle soup with brisket.  Terrible. The wontons were as big as my first and the pork was shaped like a meatball. The wonton wraps fell apart as I picked them up with my chopsticks. The meat tasted like a rubber ball.  
  
  The pepper/salt calamari wasn't seasoned enough.  Not only that, but they were sneaky.  They layered the box with too much lettuce.  From the picture, you'd think it was a calamari salad.
  
  Oh, and we left the restaurant, we heard the manager lose his temper by cursing up a storm in Cantonese.  Not cool.

  One of the classic restaurants thats been in Chinatown for as long as I can remember. Its not a fancy waited restaurant but a place to get comfort food for about $10 or less.
  
  Chinatown Cafe does get packed so the best bet is to call and go in to pick up. If you have time and want to eat there, they have a good amount of tables and chairs you can choose from. Food comes in very generous portions for the price you pay. Theres complementary water and tea and a gender neutral bathroom :)
  
  The walls are decorated with pictures of Chinatown from many years ago, very historic. Most staff there speaks some to fluent English :) an alternative is just to tell them the number from the menu.

  Restaurant is located outside of Chinatown in a quieter residential area. You'll know you have arrived by all the roasted meats they have on display. Having heard how much food they serve, I only ordered the roast pork as I was by myself and could not take leftovers with me. Otherwise I would have also tried the chicken and duck...maybe next time! After ordering, the meats are freshly cut and put on top of a huge serving of white rice. The food was hot and there was plenty of seating space inside. Prices are very affordable for the amount of food you get. Not sure if it's still cash only as I automatically pay in cash when in a Chinese restaurant.

  Fantastic place for lunch. Their BBQ is very good. Portion is big and the price is cheap and the quality is tremendous. It's a very busy place. Small but clean and they have tables for you to sit down, relax and enjoy your meal. Besides BBQ, they have a variety of other items on the menu for you to choose from. They cook them fresh when you order, not like most restaurants that will heat up your food.
  
  It's about 3-4 blocks from Chinatown, but you won't be disappointed. If you don't eat large portion like me, I recommend to buy one and share because it's huge. Make sure you let them know whatever meat you order is over rice as a meal. Otherwise, they might think that you order half or full chicken/ pork. There are people order those and it's a lot of food. Bon appetite!!
