I ordered Chinese food last night: chicken balls, lemon chicken, and spring rolls. The dough on the chicken balls and lemon chicken was soggy, undercooked, and lacked crispiness. The spring rolls were very dry inside. Overall disappointing. read more

A neighborhood institution. Mayflower is great. They have a bunch of classics and combos. It's not authentic Chinese. It's mostly Canadianized stuff for us white people. They are in Etobicoke, after all. Order early on weekends as they can get busy. read more

I was a loyal customer for over 40 years. When I moved to LA in 2004 I tried every Chinese restaurant I could find and have still not found its equal. It's a family business and Kelvin has had the wisdom not to change the recipe. Whenever I'm in town I can order a No.1 combo and the egg roll and chicken balls are exactly the way I remember. I always come straight from the airport to get my fix. Staff is friendly and service is great. Chicken is always fresh and tasty. I highly recommend Mayflower. read more

For Canadian Chinese food, you just can't get any better! They do have a few authentic dishes on the menu, every dish is cooked fresh from scratch, so it takes a little longer than those heat-lamp places, but is well worth it to get fresh, hot and delicious food. I worked downtown, right beside Chinatown, for over a decade and I can tell you that for Chinese Food, it is hard to find better outside of an authentic neighbourhood. They have been around for over 50 years serving this community, that alone shows the high standards that has kept them in business. Note: This is take-out and delivery only, so don't expect a sit down restaurant. read more

Hit the spot. It's very close to my childhood place, "Far East", which hasn't opened since the pandemic. Good replacement. Wish they fried their wontons with a bit of tallow. Nom, nom, nom. If people complain that their food isn't flavorful enough, consider it a blank canvas that you can add hoisin sauce, dark soy or siracha. read more

Have ordered from this place for at least 6 years. I'd say conservatively, more than 60 times. Because the food was decent, and somewhat consistent, we put up with their arbitrary delivery fees when the delivery menu clearly states "free delivery". And tolerated their arbitrary price increases when they continued to include in the orders old menus with old pricing. So it's like a fun, little surprise how much you're actually spending until they tell you after you order. (I understand price increases are normal and happen with regularity, but continuing to include menus with old pricing and then just changing prices to whatever you feel like, is straight up false advertising.) Called tonight and the guy asked for my address, and then my credit card number. Hadn't ordered yet. Hadn't received a total yet. Just wanted my credit card right off the bat, stating it was no different for him to ask first thing or at the end because I was going to give it to him in the end anyway. Ha! Explaining to someone so poorly trained, smug, and obtuse why this might be problematic was futile. Rude, young, brat who was only too delighted to tell me he was the "manager", and the grandson of the owner. Who, incidentally, was too busy to take a call. Will never again order from here and saddened that the owners will likely never know who is representing their business and how. read more

Delicious Chinese food. A bit pricey but you get quality food from this establishment. It is take out or delivery only. They will cook to your taste as in less spice when requested. read more

A family staple with really tasty food. Exceptional chicken balls! The food is not greasy or overly salted. Thumbs up to the Cantonese Chow Mein! read more

I don't live in the neighborhood but always love to pick up some chicken balls and fried noodles whenever I am around the area. We ordered chicken balls, honey garlic short ribs and Cantonese fried noodles. We couldn't wait but finished half of the chicken balls on our way home! The ribs are a bit sweet for my taste, noodle was covered with lots of veggies and meat, not greasy at all, just like home made!!! read more

Mayflower Chinese Food - Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls Mayflower Honey Garlic Spare Ribs Mayflower Cantonese Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

This place has pretty decent westernized generic Chinese food when you are in the mood for that. Service and wait times can be spotty and inconsistent. Made a pick up order... showed up on time and told to come back 20 minutes later. Come back 20 minutes later and told to come back 10 minutes later. Finally get my order and it's someone else's order... they are lucky I noticed it and came back or someone else would have been hungry too. Finally got the correct order after waiting for another 25 minutes. So in total... that's 45 minutes late. Been ordering for over 10 years but I'm done with Mayflower from now on. Throwing out their flyers and going to look for somewhere else to order from. I can't count on their inconsistent service anymore. The girl who gives me the order says sorry and I told her I was not ever ordering again and she smiled and said sorry I don't know what to say... blame the cooks.... nice Order at your own risk. read more

Sometimes you really just want some good old fashioned westernized Chinese food. If this is you, Mayflower is your place. Hubby and I got takeout from here and it hit home on the classic greasy Chinese food we were looking for. The honey garlic spare ribs were a tasty treat offering a good balance garlicy sweetness, the chicken lo mein was delicious (good balance between sauce, noodles, chicken and veggies), and the egg rolls were also done well with a not-too-thick crust. The star, though, was the chicken balls. Let's face it, if you're going for this type of Chinese food, it's that deep fried goodness dunked in the red sweet and sour sauce that you really want - and Mayflower gives you just that. There is a light sweetness to the batter complemented with a good chunk of meat. Will definitely be ordering this again. When you walk in, you can smell the goodness in the air. The pickup area is very simple and the waiting area is pretty small. The staff are straight forward and set your expectations early in terms of how long you will wait for your order. read more

Mayflower Chinese Food - Mayflower goodness. Their chicken balls are delicious! - Chinese Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I seldom pan a small business but consider this: Soo Gai gravy was cold and jelly like and the Soo Gai was deep fried battered soggy grease... terrible. Ok, on to the lemon shrimp. No lemon. Ok dig into the batter and find 1/2 a shrimp cut lengthwise and coated with enough batter to quadruple the size. Greasy soggy rip off. How about the honey garlic ribs - watery and cold. The rice? Tasteless, dry and lousy. EGG ROLLS. Signature dish? Forget it. Veggies - well we were able to eat that. Almost seventy bucks, cash only. NEVER AGAIN. And the Durham FB forum will not let you post a truthful review so I can't trust them ever again either. This meal literally made me sick. Beware! read more

Our family has been eating from this restaurant since the early 1970's. It was always great, our go to restaurant. I gave four stars instead of five because I haven't been to this restaurant for at least twenty years. I have had great food from other restaurants and they also come a little greasy or over cooked from time to time. You won't always get the most experienced chef. Cooks must start from the beginning. That being said, this place has never disappointed me. Mayflower Chinese Food will always be my go to place for Chinese food if and when I am ever in the area. I can not discuss the generational changes that occur, but they have been around a long long time. Does anyone know if it is the same original family that still runs it? read more

I am extremely disappointed with this place. Their large entrees that cost 10.50 don't come with any rice or anything on the side. And the large can be considered a small. I ordered the shrimp and garlic which had no flavor at all. I had to order a side of some sort for a separate barge. They didn't have brown rice and I ended up getting mushroom chowmain which was cooked with no effort. It was practically raw. Very very overpriced! $40 for Chinese food should go a long way. However all I had was two entrees and lo mein. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Great food...cooked to perfection...don't wait for delivery...pick up yourself. This place is very busy...don't expect to receive your order in 15 min or less...they're not making pizzas? Snow flowers want everything when they think of it...instant gratification! However if you figure out the time to order the reward is worth it... read more

I haven't had great Chinese Canadian fast food in a while. Moving down South I've had trouble finding something I like. Toronto definitely has amazing spots but in Etobicoke this definitely a great spot. Food is amazing and time for pick up order is very reasonable ( around 20 min). If you're looking for Chinese takeout in Etobicoke this is definitely the spot. Buffets are okay if you want AYCE but this place does not compare, plain and simple the food is just really good. read more

After all of the reviews and praise that I had heard about this place (including Mayor Ford's blessing) I was extremely disappointed with everything about this place. I was surprised that it was very much like a small laundromat when you enter. A ring of waiting charis surrounding an order desk. That's it! The young girl that took our order made a mistake with the prices and had to re-enter my debit card twice and we were given NO utensils nor napkins whasoever. This was upsetting since I had to run all the way back to get some from a nearby park. When I finally got some food in my mouth, it tasted just like heat-lamp buffet chinese food, overly steamed and soggy. Sorry Mayflower, my ship has sailed elsewhere. read more

Easily the best Chinese food in Etobicoke. I'm not surprised the wait times can be long sometimes because the food is so damn good! My go to is the Combo 1 with sweet and sour sauce. 10/10 read more

My fam orders from Mayflower all the time. Shanghai noodles, chicken fried rice and beef with broccoli are always on point. I decided to branch out and try a couple of other Chinese restaurants in the area (for delivery) but they didn't even come close to Mayflower. This place is the real deal I promise ya. Really great, long-running, local business that has earned my loyalty and support! read more

Worst Chinese food I've ever had. Stay away from their house specials! Their "Cantonese chow main" is soggy, lacks flavour, and variety. They have a homemade spring roll and egg roll. Literally had no flavour! Carrots, bamboo shoot, and boiled ground pork. Ppl if you are going to be successful in a generic Chinese take out please, PLEASE get the spring roll right. Their vegetable fried rice is garbage. No thought goes behind making the food and I think it's a shame they take ppl money and call it Chinese food. Never ever am I going back! I might not be Chinese but I can make a way better anything compared to this place. DON'T EAT HERE! read more

This place has been around for over 40 years and there is an excellent reason for this. The food is great, for westernized chinese food, and have a few authentic dishes as well. I worked downtown for many years and know the difference between real and western chinese food, but if you are going for the western style, this is one of the best in the city. High quality food and after ordering from them for decades, have yet to have a dish that didn't taste great or was cooked properly. So you are well aware, this is a take-out/delivery business, there are no tables to eat here. They are always busy and the food is cooked to order, so if you want a place where you can get it fast by choosing food under heat lamps and be in and out is under 10 minutes, don't go here. If you want fresh good food cooked to order, then this is the place for you. The kitchen staff are all asian, using authentic cooking utensils (nothing frozen or prepared earlier to be heated up in a microwave) as you can hear and see through the beaded drape separating them from the order area, and they tend to employ local high school seniors to do the order taking out front. these girls are very good at taking orders, including checking on specialty items while on the phone so there is no disappointing call backs, or food missing from your order. Delivery is between a half hour to an hour depending on how busy they are, and they tell you the approximate time for delivery so you know up front. But despite this wait time, the food always arrives piping hot and ready to eat. Don't forget to ask for utensils if you need them, they don't believe in unnecessary waste, this is Etobicoke after all. Once again, there is a very good reason they have been in operation for over 40 years, and still highly popular and very busy for a reason, they are simply the best chinese take-out in west Toronto. ENJOY!!! read more

Literally inedible. We threw the food in the garbage. Go to Manchu wok and save a few bucks. read more

Mayflower has the most delicious Chicken balls I have ever had anywhere! They are greasy and cruchy and heavenly with the sweet & sour sauce. They also have fabulous Beef Fried rice, made the old school way, no frozen rice here! They also have good Fried Won Tons and Beef/Broccoli in Black bean sauce. Disappointing that they dont have a good Sesame Chicken dish, Shanghai Noodles or Fried Chicken Wings with crunchy exterior. Otherwise they would be AMAZING! read more

Food is has normally been very tasty but service is terrible. We had a dozen people over and ordered a bunch of food, they told us an 1.5 hours,which seems a bit much but we waited, 2 hours later we called and were told that they hadn't yet started our order, we cancelled then and went to a different place who had our order ready in 20 mins. I guess they don't care about their customers or making money on a substantial order. Won't be going back. read more

Greatest chicken balls in the GTA. This place has the best comfort food in that part of the city. Had noodles and fried rice and both were very delicious and well packed to go to take home. My family also loved it! Thank you, Mayflower! read more

THE best Chinese takeout in Etobicoke. Food is always fresh and delicious. They do get quite busy, I recommend picking up your order. On busy nights, (usually Friday/Saturday) you can expect to wait 30-60mins for pick up. Some of my favourite dishes -Cantonese chow mein, this dish is huge!! We are a family of 6 (with two constantly ravenous men) and there is always leftovers. It is loaded with veggies and meat. I recommend asking for extra sauce, it can sometimes be a bit dry without it -Chicken balls, Take out Chinese staple, big pieces of chicken, great ratio of batter to chicken - Wonton soup, definitely homemade broth and dumplings. Best I've ever had!!! -any of the fried rice options -butterfly shrimp, great shrimp, not frozen I have introduced many friends to this restaurant, and they ALWAYS make it their 'go to' for Chinese food after! A delicious and reliable take out option!! read more

Very busy on weekends and always fills my hunger for take out Chinese food

Don't look any further for the best Chinese food in the province. I would like the say it is Etobicoke's best kept secret but isn't a secret. Chicken balls with massive balls of chicken and everything cooked fresh. Just awesome. read more

Anyone who cuts up the place needs to stick to the buffets. Always tastes fresh and is extremely flavorful. Several times over repeat customer and will continue to order. read more

It was fine. The place itself is small and boring. And it wasn't cheap. And I asked for veg spring roll they gave me some weird meat

Amazing food and customer service. The Shanghai chow mein, mayflower honey garlic spear ribs and the general Tao chicken are my favourite dishes but everything else on the menu is also very tasty. I recommend this place to whomever is looking for a fantastic meal. read more

Your typical chinese takeout joint. Opens after 4pm. Meals available for singles.

We ordered 5 dishes, a few hours later, sick to our stomach. I called to let them know of bad batch of something in their food, the girl said there is nothing wrong with their food!! No apologies or concern at all! Don't order from here. Dirty place read more

I drove 45mins because i had a craving for chicken balls and this place did not disappoint!! Best chicken balls ive ever had!! I definitely will be back!! read more

Mayflower Chinese Food - Best chicken balls ive ever had!! - Chinese Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

This is the best Chinese food in all of Toronto. I love the rice and noodles.

Ordered delivery for sweet and sour spare rib, chicken fried rice, and egg soup. The call taker was friendly and helpful. However, the order took more than 50 mins to be delivered...when I live in the vicinity of 5 min drive. I thought an accident took a toll on the time so when I asked the delivery man, I got a very rude and curt 'we're busy'. Shocked from uncalled hostility, I handed a bill and waited my change so that I could tip. Instead he short hands me by keeping a meager change, and authoritatively (and retorically) asks 'it's okay right?'. Inside the package, no tissue, fork, spoon, no utensil whatsoever to eat the food with. However, there were two soy sauce packs, two fortune cookies, and the food was descent for the price. Unfortunately, I will never order from this location again with its poor delivery experience that made me feel extremely guilty about asking why their food was delivered late, not to mention withholding from proper exchanges of money. If you want a well priced chinese food, so be it. However, be prepared for unapologetic lateness and confounding courage to keep change and storming out your frontsteps. read more
