Pine Yard Restaurant - Bancroft

Since we love Chinese food and the Pine Yard is the only Chinese food place in town we reluctantly order from there once every six months and they never fail too disappoint. Last night the ribs were 90 per cent fat and the pork fried rice had no taste at all as if a piece of pork had just been waved over it. The chow mien was the best thing we got which tells you something. Though chicken balls are our favourite Chinese food we'd given up the Pine Yard's long ago. The price should have been $5 instead of $35 .... wait, they should have paid us $5.

You cannot find a more filling and fresh meal than their lunch special's or combos. I get the beef broccoli lunch (comes with rice egg roll) at least once a week when I am at work and even with a drink it is less than $10. The food is always fresh and hot and is ready SOOO quickly plus the portion is huge for one person! The staff are great at making changes or substitutions when required and I have never had any issues. Yes the building isn't pretty but the food is great!

Our family ordered dinner for 6. We were pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Nothing to complain about here. All the dishes were very good and lots of left overs to boot.

We decided to have dinner at this run down joint. To get your car up the almost 35 degree road to the parking lot must be a real nerve-racking experience when there's lots of snow and ice! It was mid April the night we went with most snow melted away. we started with hot and sour soup and wonton which was good and my wife thought it was the best she's ever had. The main course though was different we both had Szechuan type spicy entrees. My wife had shrimp and I had chicken. Same sauce for both ,unimaginative and very boring. The fried rice was clearly re-heated **** from maybe lunch time or the day before, with the rice grains starting to break down and clumping. Was edible and not expensive but I wouldn't eat there again.

Went for dinner and was quite happy. The prices were reasonable, the portions were large and the taste was excellent. The restaurant was not busy but I was not in a hurry. The service could have been a bit better but I will chalk it up to their only being one server. I will come back here again.
