So in search of a Chinese restaurant for dinner my friend Betty and myself, with the assistance of yelp, headed to Dinesty Chinese Restaurant.
After a 15 minute wait we were seated and since Betty and myself are quite the whales, we ordered deep fried soft tofu, duck in brown sauce (we wondered what this brown sauce was), prawn and pork dumplings, a chicken+ham+asparagus pinwheel type thing, and an interesting noodle dish with salted? Soy beans+eggs+cucumbers.

So for my first re-vamped review:
Food: 19/25
Service: 12/25
Ambiance: 20/25
Value: 19/25
Total: 70/100 Average - Above Average
Overall the food was good. The steamed dumplings were the best which does seem to be their specialty while the others were just alright.
Service on the other hand was severely lacking. Perhaps it was because neither my friend or myself spoke any mandarin but we essentially got our order taken after a long while, food came out very quickly as do most Asian restaurants, but after that nothing. We had to ask for our tea to be refilled multiple times.
The restaurant itself is fairly nice and has a modern feel especially considering how sketchy some other Asian restaurants can be.
Value isn't too bad, we ordered more food than the average 2 people would probably eat and costed us about $40. Just depends on what you order.
With a score of 70, it's about average though would have scored above average if the service was even a bit better.
Recommendation: Try it out. Don't expect too much quality service though. Get steamed dumplings! Go early to avoid waiting.
