CHIC XI

The chicken soup is awesome

Overall experience was alright, the food was pretty good, but the price is a little too high for the quality. You can go to any Chinese restaurant within Markham or Scarborough with similar quality for way lower price and bigger portions.
I am not a heavy person on seasoning and prefer something lighter, so their dishes were perfect for me. But as for my friends who ate with me they had to add extra salt, especially the 2 potted rice in the picture. Despite the one with very dark sauce, it offered very little taste.
The BBQ pork was slightly burnt in some spots, the sauce on it was very well made, slightly sweet but not over powered by other tastes. Just the right about of saltiness for me.
The only one that had a lot of flavor was the chicken on the black pot in the picture. Its a little spicy but heavy with flavor. The chicken inside basically is all bones and there is almost no meat to he found. So unless you like eating ginger and leek, this is not worth it at all. Chinese name of it is 生炒走地鸡.
The black buns were more bun than filling. If you want the filling you can get it way cheaper at a dim sum restaurant with more filling and better textured bun.

As for staff and the restaurant, there's a weird smell when you enter, kind of like a sour smell you when your laundry is wet and you fold it. We found out why, it's from the cloth they wipe the tables with. They're reused and never washed we're speculating. So all the tables smell like that too.
The staff doesn't look like they want to work there, but have a polite voice when you talk to them. So I don't know, typical Chinese restaurant I guess.

This is not a place I would recommend because nothing's really special. Everything is pricy for mediocre food. If you want to try, sure. But you won't find anything special in terms of the food. You can tell by the pictures it's not like WOW.

Tasty dishes with ok pricing for the location. Ensure you not in a rush as it takes a while before the food is served.
