This food was the only thing that the both of us ate the same all day today. Location: Main Street Newmarket at the top of the hill. Parking: There's a couple of on-street spots in front of it. There's a laneway but I don't think you're allowed to park there but people do Store: You walk in there are six chairs for people to sit and wait and a counter you order at and pick up your food. You can look into the kitchen. There's a lot of people working in there it looks like it's never been updated since it was first built Food: It's take out only or delivery. A couple of times at work we have ordered takeout from here. But that was a while ago. And everyone always liked it. Wow things change We ordered the dinner for two. 2 Egg Rolls Chicken Chow Mein Sweet & Sour Spare Ribs Barbecue Pork Fried Rice I'll start off by saying the egg rolls and the chicken chow mein were tasted but not eaten. The egg rolls were overcooked but that's fine it just meant the outside is extra crispy but the inside tasted funny. I can't even explain it it was like beige chopped up things. One bite was all we could manage. The chicken chow mein was actually really gross. When we opened the container it smelled like cheap canned chicken soup, Itwas very liquidy and actually tasted like cheap chicken soup. One bite was all we had. The fried rice was okay. We ate it but it wasn't great like it used to be. And the sweet and sour spare ribs was good but I suspect it's a Jarred sauce that most Canadian style Chinese places used. You can't really mess up deep fried meat. Or I guess maybe they can. I will actually never go here again. The food wasn't I really have no idea how it's getting all these five stars. Even with nostalgia that food was not good

Cynthia's Chinese Restaurant in the Newmarket location is made up of 2 different restaurants: the…read morefine dining restaurant, and the buffet / all-you-can-eat restaurant. They're located in the same plaza, but in separate units. We went to the fine dining portion of the restaurant. The ambiance and interior décor were really nice, the inside was very clean, and the customer service was really good (a lot better than what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant). There was live music (an actual singer) performing when we were there for a weekend dinner. It had a fine dining feel. I liked all the little details and ornament-like items that they used for the eating utensils (e.g. golden-plated chopstick rest, fancy soup bowl akin to the bowls used by Chinese emperors, etc.). They had both English and Chinese menus for you to choose. Although the service and overall experience were above average, the food was just average. The stand-outs for me were the Crab Meat & Corn Soup and Seafood Garlic Fried Rice. The soup had actual chunks of crab and a lot of corn, which I liked. The Seafood Garlic Fried Rice was moist and contained a good amount of seafood (small scallops, pieces of shrimps, shredded imitation crab). It was delicious and flavourful. The Scallops with Ginger and Onion was also good, with large scallops, sliced white onion, and I could really taste the ginger (with actual ginger pieces in the dish). Buddha's Delight Vegetables was a disappointment because it was too saucy and salty. It didn't contain bamboo shoots like the Buddha's Delight in some other Chinese places, but they had wood ear mushrooms which I liked.

First class service. I recommend you phone first and reserve a table. Very tasty and high class.read more

The plain fried rice was good, with good wok flavour & a decent amount of egg, in addition to some frozen mixed vegetables.The General Tso's chicken was a fusion with sweet & sour, with a sauce that was red & seemed to have some tomato flavour while also being spicy. It was a bit crispy after 10 mins; the batter was thin so it wasn't that crispy but this also meant there was more meat instead of you getting a mouthful of batter. The egg roll was disappointing: dry & with little taste. The breaded shrimp was really battered & was normal. The wonton soup (a topup of only $1.75!) tasted above average. There were 3 wantons which tasted decent & had quite a lot of meat, though the skin was a touch thick in parts.

For the price, it's pretty reasonable and the portions are generous. Their lunches are a good deal as it comes with a soup and thus, i order, generally the egg rice noodle with beef, but they have a fair variety of hk/canto dishes you can choose from. In terms of speed, they're extremely quick with the orders and you get it within 10 minutes.

First the egg roll had no meat only cabbage, I don't like cabbage ,strike 1. Second was the beef chop suey it was tasteless probably the worst I've ever had, strike 2. The sweet and sour ribs were inedible as I couldn't even bite into them but the sauce was OK, strike 3. The chicken fried rice was lacking any flavour as I was hard pressed to find any chicken, they are out. The only reason I gave them 1 star was because the complimentary fortune cookie was tasty. I threw out 90% of the meal and will not be returning ever.

I got everything I wanted with Yang Chow, and I'll gladly keep coming back here again and again. This time, both my girlfriend and I got lunch combos (she, chicken cashew nut, and me shrimp cashew nut). They were both great, and neither of us left hungry. And I was pretty impressed by the amount of chicken and shrimp they included. And all for under $15, including drinks! The owners were very friendly, and seemed to sincerely appreciate our business. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I missed having items like broccoli and cauliflower in the veggie mix. It wasn't bad or anything of the sort - but a simple mix mostly of carrot, celery, onion, green pepper, and baby corn. If you like your Chinese food simple, quick, well prepared, and inexpensive, I highly recommend this place!
