R&D

Perfect spot for a date night. I came with my partner, and we had the BEST DUCK IN THE CITY, along with the R&D fried rice, and sticky toffee pudding. The food was so so good, the duck was juicy and paired very well with the steamed buns. I’ll definitely be back again!

We came in without a reservation and were seated immediately. The staff here are incredibly friendly and personable, they recognized us despite it being a while since our last visit! The bartender helped suggest and curate a drink for us, which was super thoughtful. The food was splendid, as always, arriving quickly and beautifully presented. The CSB was fantastic, and we stuck to a favorite with the classic R&D fried rice. We also had the lamb chow mein, a newer addition to the menu, and it was excellent—especially after adding a hint of lime. I’ve always had a wonderful time dining here 🍽️

Good food, but frankly don't understand what they were doing in how it was served. The concept is dishes that are app sized, small, and large plates. We were suggested to order around 3-4 plates to share for 2 people, on the basis that we could eat them together (fried rice together with the charsiu and a veg), but the food was brought out one by one, with the fried rice arriving last. Didn't really make any sense, we got the broccolini first which we ended up finishing before the char siu arrived, we slowly started on the char siu and ended up saving half to eat with the rice but by the time the rice came out the char siu was cold. Not really sure if that was an error or if they just bring the food out as it is prepared, but I didn't enjoy this one way or another. Also, tables that arrived and ordered after us were served their fried rice before us. Taste-wise everything was great, just don't understand the concept, and at the price point I'd have expected better. Also, really not sure how I feel about being stared down by a massive mural of Mao Zedong from across the restaurant.

My friend Danny arranged this dinner. He also ordered the duck dish one night before. The service was outstanding by Ray. The food was great. The duck dish was the best duck dish I had anywhere. Cooked to perfection. Was a delight to enjoy every bite. We had other dishes including fried rice which was crunchy and delicious. Was a very nice dinner. Need to visit again.

Their mushroom fried rice is good, the platting is very creative. Their long green beans are very good. The atmosphere is very chill, great to go with friends. Just be aware their food is on the pricier end.

Came here twice once for my birthday (tried the duck) and for the summerlicious. The food was fine to me. Some dishes I find very interesting and creative and some are good but feels quite average. The duck and their fried rice were worth it imo the dumplings are quite overpriced. The vibes are cool though with an open kitchen, the service is okay both times I was there, not outstanding for that price range.

This was our first visit and what a wonderful experience! We love Chinese cuisine and R&D brought us to the next level. Beginning with the service, I called prior to see if there was any availability on a Saturday night of a long weekend and thankfully we were welcomed graciously both on the phone and when we arrived. The decor is modern and interesting. We loved the open kitchen and countertop dining. We sat at a comfortable booth table for three. Drinks were delicious but the dishes we ordered were the stars of the night. Our server kindly recommended some of her favourites so it was easy for our first visit. Nothing disappointed. We ordered the popcorn shrimp, the shrimp toast, fried rice, brussel sprouts, fried chicken, and the Iberco pork. Everything was fabulous. The three favourites, as we each had to choose from all of these delicious dishes, were the brussel sprouts, the rice and the chicken. We will be returning to try more and rave again.
