Wok Theory | 新天虹

Visited Wok Theory 新天虹 in Toronto’s Chinatown, and it’s officially my go-to spot for authentic Cantonese food! The environment is clean, spacious, and perfect for family gatherings or even business meals. Must-tries: 🦀 Steamed Garlic Vancouver Crab in Lotus Leaf Rice – The crab is fresh, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with the rice steamed in lotus leaf. Every bite screams umami. 🍲 Canton style chicken hotpot – A winter essential! The broth is rich and comforting, with just the right amount of peppery kick. The meat is tender, and the side of handmade beef balls is a delightful bonus. 🦐 Mango Shrimp Balls & Grapefruit Shrimp Balls – Perfect for those who love fruity, refreshing flavors. The mango version was my favorite! 🍳 Seafood Egg Tofu – Silky tofu combined with fresh seafood and a flavorful broth. A must for tofu lovers. 🥧 Salted Egg Yolk Bun – Soft buns with molten salted egg yolk filling—perfectly balanced sweet and savory. The best part? It’s super affordable! Two people can easily share a soup and a main for $20–30 per person. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-notch Cantonese cuisine in Toronto. 📍 Address: 530 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M5T 1H3

They serve some good dim sum here. Some items are better than others. Prices are okay. Portions are okay for the price. Can be busy. Seating is tight. Suggest you reserve for weekends. Shared tables are an option too. Free WiFi. No credit card surcharge. One can get a VIP card for discounts. Clean facility. Clean washrooms. Friendly staff who can speak English Cantonese and Mandarin. The kitchen is fairly quick. Floors are very slippery when wet.

I really liked their steam dumplings, really authentic and it tasted like they made it themselves. The restaurant is clean and newly renovated, a great choice for dim sum. However, their steamed custard bun is not as good as other places. There's too much oil and it's not well mixed with the yellow custard. Overall it's a good dim sum restaurant to try out if you're in the neighborhood.

Was very surprised at the quantity and quality of dim sum here. Seems to be a very modernized take but holding a lot of the authentic values as well. Good straightforward service, reasonable pricing to the size of dim sum portions. Ensure you bring any containers yourself though, you get changed for containers here.

--- This Asian restaurant was a great find! The place is super clean, and the staff are really polite and friendly. The food is pretty good quality, and the prices are super reasonable. If you're looking for tasty food in a clean and chill spot without spending too much, definitely give this place a try
