Spring Rolls

I am surprised that I haven't yet reviewed this place. It now has three locales throughout the city (the one I'm most familiar with is the one downtown by the Eaton Centre), and it's inexplicably popular. We went cause we had a 10% off coupon that was expiring in a few days.
I'd have to say it's popularity is puzzling to me, as I think it's highly over-rated (though the photos in their menus are gorgeous!). I know Mike has a mass/cost ratio in rating restaurants, but I think there has got to be more to a restaurant than give you a massive pile of food to make you think it's an excellent place to eat.
This is a case in point: the huge mass of food that came to the table in the form of seafood satay ho fun noodles was impressive in scope and size, but not in flavour. Also, seafood was very scant: Large quantities of sprouts, noodles and sauce, but not much else. Was completely unable to finish dinner, which I suppose, in the mass/cost formula, is a good thing, but overall, continue to be unimpressed with this place. However, I do know that I will probably be there repeatedly in the future for various birthdays and dinners for many years to come...
