Better place than mostly hakka style restaurants. & Yes, you can reserve for the next day ▪︎NO reservation available for same day.

We visited this restaurant for the second time after hearing so much hype. On our first attempt, we chose not to wait an hour for a table, but this time, despite it being a Thursday, we faced another hour-long wait. After 1 hour and 15 minutes, we were seated, but to our frustration, tables seated after us were prioritized for ordering, and it took 15-20 minutes before anyone took our order. The soup, however, was a highlight — it was absolutely delicious. But from there, the experience went downhill. The menu was confusing, with only two portion sizes: one too small for 4-6 people and another excessively large. It felt like a business tactic to encourage ordering the larger portion, which meant paying more, even if we didn’t need that much food. The rest of the food was just okay. One dish was too spicy, and although the waitress kindly replaced it, it was frustrating to not get much guidance in choosing our order. The long wait, combined with the overcrowded atmosphere, made it hard to enjoy the meal, and the food didn’t live up to the hype. It honestly felt like we were paying too much for an average experience. it felt very similar to Hakka-style restaurants .there wasn’t a huge difference in terms of flavor and quality. While we liked the soup, the overall dining experience didn’t justify the wait or the price. With so many other restaurants offering similar cuisine without the hassle, I don’t think we’ll be returning .

I heard a lot of good things about Ginsoy, and I was very excited to try it out. Their food is good but I didn't notice anything spectacular. Their best item is their soup. It had a lot of flavour and was very comforting. However, the chow mein and the Manchurian chicken were severely lacking in flavor. I think there's a lot of hype surrounding the restaurant, so your expectations are very high, but it's better to try it yourself and see what you think.

After hearing so much about this place, finally got to try Ginsoy at the Mississauga location whilst visiting family there. Reservation is a must or you will be waiting a long time for a table. We were seated right away at our reserved time, service was fast and wonderful. We ordered hot and sour soup, crackers (which are now a $1 a basket), cashew chicken, dynamite shrimp, dynamite chicken, hot and spicy noodles, hot and spicy fried rice and chilli chicken. Food was amazing! Full of flavor, perfect blend of spices and prepared hot and fresh. Cashew chicken definitely surprised me, it was one of the best I have had. Hot and spicy are a must try. Food portions on family sizes are very generous and were more than enough for 8 adults. Loved the food, ambience and service. Totally worth it.

We were 4 people (2 kids and 2 adults). We ordered mixed fried rice, mixed chowmin, dynamite prawns, spicy garlic chicken and cashew chicken. The quantity is huge, one single order can be easily shared by 2 people. In terms of food, the dynamite prawn was amazing, we will got for it again. The cashew chicken was very good. We liked the rice and the garlic chicken was also okay. We didn’t like the taste of mixed chowmin because of heavy soy sauce. Overall the service is good.
