Crispy Ginger Beef.
Gary M.

Dec 16/19: This was an absolutely DELICIOUS lunch. It was a Monday so the place was pretty quiet. Our orders were the Ginger Beef Tenderloin & Combo #7 which was the lemon chicken combo. Both meals were exceptionally tasty & well presented. Combo #7 came with an egg roll, fried rice & veggies. The Ginger Beef came with rice & egg roll. All were delicious. They only loss of a Star was the $3.00 for tea which used to be free. Really...$3.00 for water! Our server "Stanley" was nice, polite & willing to serve. He gave us lots of time to eat a leisurely lunch.

Seafood with mushrooms and Chinese broccoli
Deborah K.

Absolutely delicious! We had the pork egg foo young and the seafood with mushrooms and chinese broccoli. Both were piping hot and cooked perfectly. The broccoli was al dente and the seafood was just cooked. The flavours were wonderful. Service was fast and friendly.

Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

Came here for my birthday on a Sunday night. Nice quiet spot, food was tasteful and reasonably priced. Would come again, loved the chicken wings. :-j

This place is not bad but little oily. I'll try a different dish for next time but overall I would come and try a new dish

Szechuan Szechuan is one of the better fast food options around…read more I came by for a quick takeout meal & was pleasantly surprised by the decent flavours of the crispy Cantonese chow mein. While the noodles were not crispy, the dish was loaded with chicken, shrimp, bok choy, mushroom & other vegetables that soaked up the delicious savoury sauce. We added a cream corn soup to round out. I've also had the Szechuan Chicken before and have to admit it's another hit fast food dish. This restaurant has a mash of different menu items including pho, sushi & Thai curry as well. The sushi rolls were passable. It doesn't have to be perfectly authentic to be a good option at the mall. While we've never tried the server experience, the metal takeout tables here work perfectly fine for a quick meal. For our latest meal, we had the Ginger Beef with rice which is another pleasant Chinese takeout dish popularized locally. It came hot out of the kitchen. The deep fry technique here preserved the tenderness of the beef much better than other places where I've tried this dish. It went well with the crispy batter drenched in sweet spicy soy sauce. Skip it or it hit? If you're looking for Asian food at the mall, an occasional visit here is not bad.

The food is ok, it's pan Asian so you have a lot of options, however the restaurant is stuck in its…read moreglory days of the early 2000s. While the interior remains very nice for a family dinner or dinner date with friends, the service would have been better. It felt like our server kept waiting for us to finish our meal and then leave. We took out takeaway containers but my friend and I wanted to stay and yap for a little bit because we hadn't seen each other in a long time and the restaurant was rather empty but the kitchen staff came out and quickly packed our meals at the table. Speaking of, when we ordered our mango salad, it looked haphazardly put together, and the mango (ripe and unripe) were cut in very large chunks... not very bistro like at all... At the end when we asked for our bill, I went to pay and our server went "what? No tip??" And he stood there and watched me pay. Tip is customary, not mandatory. Moreover he wasn't supposed to "watch me pay." I felt like I was coerced. Never coming back here, would not recommend this place.

My fave spot to get fried chicken and noodles. This spot is…read morethe most popular at York gate mall and they're pretty affordable. I used to get the kids meal which consist of fried rice or noodle with 2 pieces of chicken. Don't recall the price but it's less than $10 (I feel like it's $5 or less). The chicken is so good! This time around we got 2 boxes of chicken (24) and noodles for total of $32. Service is ok! And there's food court if you want to eat there. Otherwise mainly takeout spot. Also get the red sauce! It's so good with the chicken. They also gave me hot sauce packets and soy sauce.

China Wok Super Chinese Food provides the best-breaded chicken wings in the Greater Toronto Area…read more The scrumptiously marinated wings are coated with a seasoned batter (with unique, refreshing seasoning blends, such as rosemary) and fried to an absolute crispy golden brown. Once you start those wings, you can't stop. In fact, these wings are so good that I ordered 200 of them for my party last winter, and I still don't get tired of those damn wings! Also - they are great if you keep them in the fridge for a day & reheat them too. Although their fried rice and vegetables are not as out-of-this-world as their wings, they all still pack great wok hei while tasting surprisingly "healthy" (because they are not as heavily seasoned as other Chinese food places). I think the chef wanted to ensure that the other dishes did not steal the show of their wings. Overall, I strongly recommend China Wok Superb Chinese food, regardless of whether you want to grab a combo meal with wings, rice and vegetables or just ten wings for a meal. They are all great options with a decent price.

After reading the reviews, we wanted to give this place a try…read more When we got in here, we didn't realize that this place was more like Canadian/American Chinese food. LOL. We were watching on YouTube and saw that the bloggers were reviewing the location in Richmond Hill. We assumed that the Vaughan location was the same one. So, that was our fault. But, we decided to stay and didn't feel like traveling all the way to the other one. We were immediately seated after we arrived. The place is pretty big, with a very elegant interior. Tables seating up to 4 people line the leftmost wall, which has framed paintings adorning it. Circular tables for groups of 8 sit in the center of the restaurant and on all of the tables are crisp white tablecloths with beautifully folded green cloth napkins. The specials are also written on a framed green chalkboard on the back wall and the place is illuminated by built-in spotlights. We ordered the following: Braised Tofu with vegetables - Daughter liked it a lot. She said that it tasted like Chinese takeout but in a good way. Basa Fish Chili Bean Sauce- This was ok, but I thought the sauce was the same as the other orders. Spicy eggplant with shrimp- Hubs said that this tasted similar to the braised tofu with vegetables and it was ok. Overall, we felt that these 3 entrees and sauce all tasted the same. It was ok but no big deal. This place is located next to a mall, so there was plenty of parking. Service was quick and friendly. We told our server about daughter's peanut allergy and it was noted on our bill. There were quite a few other tables occupied. I'm glad we got a chance to try this place. Always wanted to try Canadian Chinese food!

great food. excellent service . very clean. Have been going there for years. Highly recommendread more

I spoke with Pauline and her attitude was not it. On the day of pick up, they claimed they didn't have my order and we had to go back and forth for 30 minutes.

They told me to come in 30 mins and I showed up a little early and the food was all ready for me. No issue with my order (exactly as orderd). Kind of annoyed with myself for not paying cash and saving 10% (I saw this after I left and read the take out menu I took). The Hakka Chow Mein was actually quite good-tasty, well prepared (noodles were not too hard/soft); we ordered spicy and it had a hint of spice but not enough kick. The Chili chicken was decent as well-they have dry or wet options-I ordered the dry and it was good but once again the spice did not have enough kick to it. However, keep in mind that I would not be their core client (who may not be able to handle very spicy food like I can). It was good but not as good as a few of the other Hakka places I would categorize as the "gold standard". They offer Halal as well. Would I come back? For sure! This is a decent place in this part of the 905!

Service was good and food was decent. They seemed to have all-day dim sum, as we were presented…read morewith 3 different menus upon being seated on the table: main menu (large dishes), dim sum menu on paper, and a small card containing 3 items on special that day. The restaurant was packed and it was a bit hard to get a hold of a server at times, but their service was pretty good overall given the speed, ability to customize some menu items, and attentiveness. We ordered the Scallops with Vegetables, and we got to choose what type of vegetables we wanted (usually we don't get to choose in other Chinese restaurants). We opted for choy sum, but we also could've chosen from a selection of mixed vegetables, bok choy, snow peas, mushrooms, etc. Surprisingly, the scallops came as jumbo scallops. I was expecting smaller-sized scallops like in other Chinese restaurants. The dish was tasty and I could taste the ginger. Seafood and Garlic Fried Rice was alright - no different than those in other similar restaurants. The rice was quite dry and there were small pieces of shrimps and scallops in the mix.

Tip: The eight-course meal is excellent…read more My best friend asked me if I'd like to go for dim sum with his family after his mom's funeral. I had forgotten that it was customary after a Chinese funeral (his mom was Chinese and her husband was Vietnamese) to have something to eat after a funeral. I was moved that he was thinking of me during a difficult time. I said yes. He got his niece to get me the address of the restaurant. She conveniently had a business card, which made it easy. I saw Legend Chinese Restaurant. I put it into my maps app, and drove my friend and me over there. He insisted that I drive him. Maybe my company provided him comfort. I know that the reverse was true. It was nice to spend some more time catching up with him as we headed northbound. This eatery is in a plaza with Red Lobster across from it. We had dined there together eons ago. There was lots of parking. I backed into a spot and we walked over to the restaurant. A woman greeted us. Both of us wearing black made her realize that we were a part of a larger group that had come from a funeral. She pointed us into a closed area with wall dividers that separated us from the rest of the customers chowing down. We didn't have dim sum. Instead, we had an eight-course meal. I had never dined here, so I was looking forward to what we were about to eat. Each table had to make one seat space open for the server to come with food. I happened to be next to this gap. It has its pros and cons. I helped move dishes and such to make way for new dishes to arrive. Our server did spill some water on the table, but it wasn't crazy. I loved the lazy Susan. Our table had eight people. It was needed to get to whatever we wanted on it. We had hot looseleaf tea and hot water in tea pots. The tea was yummy, but I had no clue what it was. We ended up pouring the hot water into the looseleaf tea pot when we were running low. Our server was also great to refill the pot with the looseleaf tea a number of times. We got the following items during our meal: - Roasted pork - Shrimp and scallop soup - Chicken - Sweet and sour pork - Shrimp and scallops with sugar snaps - Steamed fish - Mushrooms with baby bok choy - Tofu pudding - Fortune cookies Half our table were vegetarians, so almost everything wasn't suitable, except for the tofu pudding. Folks at the table were kind to let me take photos of most dishes before we wrecked them, except for the vegetarian tofu vegetable medley that came out. They were so hangry that they simply went in. I have a mental picture of the generous rectangles of tofu, with mushrooms and baby bok choy. There may have been more veggies. I was happy that they could finally eat! We started with the roasted pork. It was excellent. The pork was succulent. The pork skin was crispy. Delicious! I loved the shrimp and scallop soup. It had small cubes of shrimp and baby scallops in a nice broth. The large bowl of soup sat next to me. It was deadly. I love soup. No one wanted seconds, so I polished it all. The chicken was tender. It was nice with the scallion oil. My friend and I remarked that the sweet and sour pork was excellent. It's probably because we are so used to chicken as the protein. The pork was crispy even with the sweet and sour sauce coating each morsel. The pork was tender. I loved the bell pepper and the pineapple chunks. The shrimp and scallops with sugar snaps was divine. I love sugar snaps and they were perfectly cooked while still crispy. The shrimp and scallops were large and yummy. I grew up with my mom steaming an entire fish. It's dealing with the bones that is annoying. Thankfully, a man at our table went ahead and portioned out the fish such that he eliminated most of the bones. Wow! Can I have this man de-fillet any fish that I want to eat?! The fish was naturally yummy from the steaming method. I loved the green onions on top and the soy-based sauce. I love mushrooms. The fact that we had an assorted mushroom dish with baby bok choy was awesome! Sadly, there was oyster sauce in this dish, so the vegetarians couldn't enjoy it with us. There were two different types of mushrooms. The large ones were meaty. The smaller ones were yummy, but difficult to pick up with chopsticks. I ended up eating them with a soup spoon. There was steamed rice at our table. I had some with the mushroom sauce. It was delicious. We ended up with tofu pudding. We got to scoop the tofu out and then add the syrup. The tofu and syrup were warm. It was a delightful dessert that wasn't all that sweet. We got a large bowl of fortune cookies to end our meal. My fortune said that I tend to be straightforward and honest. My friend joked that my fortune was completely wrong... haha! I used the washroom before I headed home. The women's washroom was clean. No complaints. I loved the food here. It was top-notch delicious. It was comforting and much needed. I'd love to have dim sum here and see what that's like. (413)
