Re: “New Asia Restaurant”

First of all - it's not called "North China" anymore - it's called New Asia I believe. I think there was a change of ownership recently.
When it was North China - we had the lamb hot-pot which was delicious!! Very fresh, thinly carved lamb (from Windsor, NS every 3 days they get a shipment we were told), a massive plate of noodles, tofu and vegetables and the broth was flavourful.
The last time I went there - about a year ago - they said they only serve hot pot during the winter months. Very upsetting. Ah well.
Since then - my husband and I had their dim sum religiously - every weekend and every weekend I got sick afterward within 30 minutes. I think it may have resulted because of their pan-fried dumplings being ridiculously greasy/oily to the point you had to stab carefully with a chop stick in order to pick one up.
The stir-fry from "New Asia" - was light, plentiful and great. I believe I had chicken moo-goo-guy pan. Not something I normally would order but the person I was with was a bit of a chicken to try anything different.
Had lunch there once while it was "New Asia" - and there's a "soup of the day" that comes with the lunch combo and we were told the soup chef wasn't in. Ok - no big deal. 10 minutes later we were served soup that was supposed to be hot and sour - very bland and clearly microwaved.
Take it for what it's worth.
