218 Restaurant

First time returning after the pandemic, we ordered the usual dishes. All dishes ordered were still very good; the roast duck with thin crispy skin, very little fat is the best in Chinatown. The veggie and steamed fish were fresh and cooked just right. The waiter was friendly. We'll definitely return.

Probably the best hot and sour soup I’ve ever had. The place is nothing special but it’s authentic and all foods we over there had, especially pot stickers was top. Will come back for sure.

This is THE go-to Chinese restaurant in Chinatown! This is authentic Chinese food and is always so fresh and delicious. Menu is extensive, food is affordable and very generous portions. I have brought all my friends and colleagues here for lunch and dinner and highly recommend to others.

Stopped in to pick up a few Chinese BBQ items. We got some cha siu, siew yook, and roast duck. I didn't love the duck because some of the pieces were a bit dry but the other two were good. The cha siu was a bit on the fattier side, which is good or bad depending on your taste. I personally like mine with a little fat, otherwise the meat is tough. The siew yook was probably the best out of the three. We ate it an hour later and the skin was still crispy. We had leftovers and even then, the skin was still crispy - straight out of the fridge. Next time, I'll try their stir fry dishes - or even some of the prepared dishes in the window look pretty good. My only complaint would be that the place smelled a little funky, but what place in Chinatown doesn't? It's a part of the charm.

Came here for takeout. Really didn't want to wait in line for 30 minutes on Christie Street. Grabbed the three precious ingredients over rice which consisted of roast duck, roast pork and BBQ Char Siu. The roast pork had some thick slices, but very little crispy pork skin and lean. The BBQ Char Siu was cut thick as well with very little fat content. The disappointment was the roast duck which was 4 slices of pretty much skin and bones. Also came with a side of cabbage.
