New Sky Restaurant
This place takes only cash or debit. Lots of seating and had no problems getting a table right away on a Sunday evening. They served tea as well for the table. The BBQ pork fried rice was flavourful and I liked the texture of the rice. The rest of the food came a bit later. The chow mein was decent. I would have liked it to have a bit more flavour and found it a bit bland. The string beans were crispy and tasted good. We also had a beef dish, which didn’t have as much meat as we were expecting. That wasn’t so flavourful either. All in all, it’s a good amount of food for the price and the quality was fair.
New Sky Garden restaurant by Spadina and College is a local staple, established in Chinatown for decades. This review is based on a recent delivery order so no comments are made for in-person environment or customer service. I ordered a selection of dishes: Beef sauteed with ginger and green onions Crispy beef with sesame - by far our favorite. The beef is coated and fried with a slight hint of sweetness, topped with sesame seeds. 4/5 Noodles with chicken and vegetables - this is a little different from the usual fried noodle dish. The noodles didn't seem as crispy or fried as I'm used to which was okay for us because it seemed less oily and not as salty. It suited my palate but I can see it as possibly offputting for others who may be more familiar with the more fried version. 4/5 Grouper and tofu - a favorite in our home. No fuss, plenty of fish and tofu, not too oily or salty, easy to eat and quite comforting. 4/5 Chinese bok choy with garlic - again a simpler dish but so easy to eat with a nice hit or garlic 4/5 Steamed Chinese chicken dish with dates and goji berries - I would say this has great authentic taste, rich and very flavorful. The only downfall is that you dont get a lot of meat and have to pick through it because it is bone in chicken with pieces oddly chopped. 4/5 Ha gow/shrimp dumplings - an easy staple with plenty of shrimp. No complaints overall. Tastes as expected. 4/5 Would I give New Sky Garden another try? I would actually because I'd like to try a few more dishes to get a more well rounded experience. I was eating with others so had to order with their palates in mind. Portions were decent for the price paid. Overall, a pleasurable experience.
Sue Fung's Dimsum Canteen 小鳯食堂
The host was friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Their dimsum looked delicate and tasted umami (they used dried shrimp as an ingredient) But the portion under such a price... to be honest… should be larger...
As a vegetarian in Toronto, Sue Fungs has one of the best tasting veggie dumplings ever. I think it's mushroom and scallion or something? Either way. Delicious.
Dumpling & More Chinese Restaurant 味多多麻辣烫饺子馆
Came here for dumplings and malatang soup, and they did not disappoint. They've changed the name and the sign, so it was a bit confusing heading in. The dumplings were decent, and I had a large selection of veggies to choose from for the soup. There is of course every other item you'd want to put into a hotspot, but I was happy with my vegetarian selection. I would definitely come back.
Such a great find! You can pick your soup base and all your ingredients and they'll cook it for you. Loved the herbal pork belly & chicken broth. They also have a ton of other food options (savoury pancakes, dumplings ofc etc.). Very reasonable price and delicious!
Fudao Noodle House
Always love coming to this place. Very consistent, friendly, and most importantly, the soup is always piping hot! Would recommend to anyone.
Very cosy place with delicious, unpretentious food that tastes home-cooked and natural and has wholesome ingredients. The menu is simple. The soup tastes hearty and clean - without lots of greasy or attention-grabbing flavour enhancers. The people are very nice and make you feel at home. Genuine hospitality and generosity m, offering free noodle top-ups to the delicious soup - if any were to remain in the pot.😊
House Of Gourmet
House of Gourmet is a great spot for delicious Chinese food. The taste and quality of the food were excellent, and everything was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend trying the BBQ ribs, which were tender and flavorful, the soup, which was rich and comforting, and the beef with vegetables, which was fresh and well-seasoned. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a nice place to dine in. The waitresses were friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. However, the washroom wasn’t in the best condition, which was a downside. Overall, if you’re looking for great food and good service, House of Gourmet is definitely worth a visit!
I’m from Asia so I have relatively high expectations when it comes to Chinese food haha hence the rating. Would probably find a better spot. But don’t get me wrong, the food is decent and does the job if you’re craving Chinese food. Decent serving sizes — great taste and flavor. Just had better that’s all. Service is nothing great, typical Chinese restaurant service. Atmosphere is what is expected of a Chinese restaurant. Nothing great. Just decent. Would go back if/ when convenient or with friends :)
Urban Hakka
Very reasonably priced for the area and good go-to for after-drinks consumption. Pad Thai (see photo) is a bit on the sweet side for me, with a rather carmine colour, but still decent and beef added for free (good for a 2-for-1 deal via ubereats if looking for quantity). Tandoori Chicken Fried Rice (see photo) is better and enjoyable. In the past, also had Chilli Fish, which is great on the day of. Vegetable Fried Rice is a bit plain jane, but that is to be expected perhaps. In the era of inflation, a decent neighbourhood shop.
Came here for a late lunch and was not happy with a plastic seal cover of a sauce in my drink. When I brought this to the servers attention, she asked me if I put it or if i was opening a sauce at the table. We ordered the masala lollipop, spring rolls, Manchurian gravy chicken and the dry chili chicken, everything was tasty but the chili chicken. There was an insane amount of salt that we couldn't digest and sent it back. The service overall was whatever- i wouldn't return.
Yip's Kitchen @ The St. Lawrence Market
Just wanted a quick bite for a mid morning snack. We got the hot and sour soup and the sticky rice and minced pork. The sticky rice was just was I was expecting and extremely hot/fresh and delicious!! This is just like the sticky rice you get at dim sum. The hot and sour soup was hot but not what I was expecting. I don’t usually see it with mushrooms and I thought it was light on the egg and very mild in terms of spice. More peppery than anything. However, there wasn’t a line so we were able to walk up and get our order quickly. We ate downstairs at the public tables so everything was still hot.
Smashing IT! Nestled in the heart of the historical St. Lawrence Markets this Asian Hot Food Take-Out has been serving the community for many years now. They have some amazing selections of food served tasty and fresh. Great customer service. The owners always strive to go above and beyond.
Sun Star Chinese Cuisine
Go there at 7:30pm, it only has 4 tables, usually it is full house. Maybe it is because the freezing rains. We order 6 dishes, they all come within 15 min. The dishes size are smaller than we expect. We have to order 3 more later. It sounds a lot for 7 people. We are too hungry and forget to take the photo. Prices are reasonable. The deep fried small fish (椒鹽白飯魚), Taiwanese style spicy mixed are good.
Food 5/5 Service 4/5 Vibe 3/5 OG OG Chinese restaurant near Bayview and Finch. Literally a very old skl vibe Chinese reso. Service people may say it’s bad, but as a Chinese place, i rate it very good😂 yes they rush you, but it’s been like that since I can remember~ (so be prepared) I loved their salted fish chicken fried rice and bitter melon with fried beef. Very flavorful. Also, their fried squid is to die for!! So flavorful and so perfect for another bowl of rice. Also, all dinner order comes with soup, which is also greatly appreciated. Overall 4/5!
就三席·烤鱼·面庄 The Tri Szechuan Noodles & Grilled Fish
The ambiance was decent and the staff was friendly. As for the food, it was over-seasoned, with too much salt and MSG. There is potential, but improvements are needed in food quality and service efficiency.
Ordered grilled fish with mild spice, but it wasn’t spicy at all. The fish was very good—tender and with few bones. The dish was served at room temperature, so it needed to be heated before eating for the best experience. After the meal, I felt very thirsty, possibly due to the seasoning being a bit salty.
Juicy Dumpling
The staff is nice and friendly. The $2.99 for 6 dumplings is a good deal. It requires purchasing over $10 to have this offer. There are many students and youngsters in this restaurant during lunch time.
The best dumpling shop in Chinatown with the lowest prices!! Must-try when visiting the area. I got the pan fried pork soup dumplings and they were sooo good!! Super juicy on the inside and charred flavour on the bottom sets them apart from everywhere else. Absolutely delicious!! Pan-fried soup dumplings are only $5.99 and the steamed soup dumplings are only $4.99, which is absolutely unheard of. They have limited seating inside. The store can be accessed from the main entrance on Dundas St or from inside the Dragon City Mall. Highly highly recommend!!!
ROBO SUSHI
I went to Robô Sushi for the robots, and I was really impressed! It feels like stepping into the future — the robots bring the food to your table and even make cute little faces. It’s a super fun experience, especially for kids. But the real surprise was the food: the sushi is excellent, the beef and chicken teriyaki dishes are delicious, and the desserts are great too. The human staff is friendly and attentive, and the prices are fair for the quality and portions. Now my husband and I go back almost every Friday. Highly recommend!
I had the pleasure of celebrating my sister’s birthday at Robo Sushi yesterday, and it was an incredible experience! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for our lunch. The food was delicious, offering a wide variety of fresh and flavorful dishes. However, what truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was not only quick but also incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. The highlight of the celebration was when the robot delivered my sister’s birthday cake, complete with a special birthday tune! It was such a fun and memorable touch. We enjoyed our meal and conversation for quite some time, and the management was kind enough to let us stay without any rush. Overall, a fantastic spot for a great meal and a fun, unique experience. Highly recommend!
Hong Kong Bistro Cafe
Really glad that I found this place. It’s a bit hidden, up a flight of stairs on Dundas St. Walked in on a Saturday afternoon and was able to get seated pretty quickly - beside the windows too. It’s a nice interior - feels bright and airy and they have some music playing that my friend from HK said reminded him of home. The staff are super welcoming and attentive throughout. The food portions are pretty generous and reasonably priced. They’re tasty and definitely filling. Would come back to try their other dishes, and recommend others to try it when they are in the area.
Chinese comfort food sums it all up. Staff really friendly, helpful, and attentive. Very lengthy menu. They sat me near the front of the restaurant where it was somewhat cold. Bring a sweater. I had the stewed beef brisket with radish. Just like mom used to make!
