    Veggie spring rolls
    Shubhi A.

    3.5 actually, I visited them twice and both experiences are a contrast of each other. The consistent things were friendly service, large portions & best hot sauce! Green curry was too salty for me, they could not fix it when I complained, they just added some coconut milk or water I guess. Their Hot and Sour soup at the first visit was just so perfect and in second visit it was too sour. Spring rolls were amazing every time. Pad Thai, that I had for the first visit was really good. I might visit them again, hoping for a good experience, I really loved them initially.

    This place is well nestled in North York which is their second restaurant after the one in Toronto. Compared to a lot of Thai eateries, this place is affordable for consistent quality food. They are known for their Pad Thai. Competition is pretty stiff with many restaurants in very close proximity. You can get a great deal for a meal at this restaurant on Groupon but the portions are smaller.$$

    Soup and spring rolls as starters
    Nate Y.

    Got a Groupon for Satay on the Road. Decided to try it out. The decor is nice and comfortable. Groupon has its own menu which is not shown on the groupon site. But it was not a bad selection of choices. Soup had a strong lemongrass flavor, pad thai was super saucey, chilli chicken was not spicy enough and missing the char kind of taste. All these are not necessarily bad things.. as i know some people do like their pad thai super saucey... but it was not to my preference. customer service was good as the waitress told me afterwards that they could customize to your tastes.. so for anyone who doesnt like overly saucey pad thai. you can ask for it less saucey. autocorrect is telling me its saucy not saucey... whatever....

    Cashew nut chicken takeout!
    Kyla S.

    So I've been going to Satay on the Road since I was born and I'm not exaggerating when I say it has NEVER disappointed me or my family (which is why we've kept coming back for 25 years!!). Among MANY dishes that I love, Cashew nut chicken is my all time favourite and I plan to one day replicate the dish to perfection I've never wanted the recipe more!! The service has always been so friendly and it's such a beautiful place as well with wonderful Thai artwork. It is a delight to call satay on the road my go too restaurant. Everyone I have brought here to try it is amazed by how amazing the flavor is and the quality of their food. You won't want to go to another Thai restaurant again!!! I hope they are doing okay during COVID and I'm ordering take out as much as possible! I even keep containers of their cashew nut chicken in the freezer! Stocking up! Anyways, I hope this review encourages you to try it out, please please do!!

    Lunch special - crispy beef and venerable broth soup
    Rach N.

    This is a mediocre Thai place in the area. Good if you work in the area and looking for a lunch. The staff are friendly. Parts of the patio are shaded. I had the seafood in blackbean sauce and it has lots of veggies which I liked but only a bit of seafood. It tasted okay. The spicy sweet and sour soup was tasty. The spring roll was mediocre. My friend had the crispy beef special and it tasted a bit sweet and the pieces of beef were a bit tough. He usually gets the Manchurian lunch special - and he says that is better. He also had an iced tea which he said was sweetened with a bit of honey. Our total bill came to $~25 + tip Would I come here again? Only with work colleagues as it is convenient. Would I get take out? No

    Came here with some colleauges for retirement party due to receiving a coupon for 25%. Unfortunately the restaurant owner had said that they could not accommodate our coupon but as an apology will compensate us with a few free appetizers. He gave us generous plate of spring rolls and Icecream as dessert. The food was so flavourful with generous servings. Environment was clean and service was excellent.

    Sambal fish in chili paste. Not spicy at all.

    Cantonese food is my favorite cuisine and of all the restaurants I visited in Toronto this year,…read morethis was the most memorable. I wanted to try Peking Duck and got clued into J&Y as one of the best options to try which did not disappoint. The Peking Duck was so tender, so flavorful and so wonderfully succulent. It was perfectly prepared and sliced with the fat rendered and thinly sliced. The wraps were not the monstrous steamed buns but traditional translucent wraps which are super thin, soft and pliable. Scallions, cucumber, hoisin sauce completed each wrap which highlighted the duck. Definitely the best traditional Peking Duck preparation I've had in a very very long time. The remains of the duck were used for make a duck fried rice and duck soup, again both were amazing. It takes a certain skill to make fried rice cleanly without an excessive oily coating on each grain of rice. This was one of the best fried rices I've ever had! No gratuitous mushy frozen peas needlessly added either. Well seasoned fried pork ribs and veggies completed the courses I had, everything was truly wonderful and I hope to revisit again.

    We went there for a pre-Father's Day dinner and left disappointed. This was actually our third or…read morefourth visit, and unfortunately each experience has been worse than the last. I was hoping to find something special on the menu. The Peking duck caught my eye at around $70, but then I discovered that almost everything else was extra--lettuce wraps, stir-fried duck meat, fried rice, and soup. By the time you add the extras, the bill is easily another $50 or more, bringing the total to well over $120. We decided to pass, and judging from the dishes we did order, that was probably the right decision. The hot and sour soup had plenty of heat and tang but lacked depth of flavor and was under-seasoned for my taste. Fortunately, we only ordered a small bowl. The deep-fried tofu was bland and forgettable. The stir-fried shrimp was acceptable but nothing special. The biggest disappointment was the sweet and sour pork. I specifically asked the server to make sure the pork was crispy, but it arrived soft and lumpy rather than light and crunchy. Even the complimentary red bean dessert soup was watery and lacked flavor. Our bill came to about $104 for two people. For the quality of the food, I didn't feel it offered good value. Sadly, after several disappointing visits, I don't think we'll be returning.

I ordered a combo which comes with a selection of noodles/chow mein, a small appetizer, and drink. I chose their traditional Lanzhou beef noodle (you also get to choose what type of noodle to get. I got the medium flat noodle). For app, I got their kelp salad which was so refreshing, and a HK style iced tea. My friend was particularly craving their skewers which were a decent size too. I forgot to take pics, but their portions are very generous for the price. Their noodles are hand pulled and you can really tell the difference in the quality. It's more bouncy and filling as they have more substance to them. Their service was very attentive and quick, and while the space of the restaurant is fairly small, there was no wait for 2 of us at 6:30 on a Saturday. Coming with a bigger group may be tougher considering the space. My total bill came to just under $26 after tax and tip, which is very reasonable for the amount and quality of food I got. No complaints at all and I'll definitely be back to an Omni Noodle location for comfort value eats.

The main portion of the dish is super tender braised pork knuckle (not as weird as it may sound) on a bed of white rice glazed with a house Chinese BBQ sauce. It comes with sides of pickled "sour" veggies (酸菜), cabbage, tofu, and hard boiled egg. The pork knuckle almost melts in your mouth and is so decadent with the BBQ sauce. The sides give nice textural contrast and palette contrast. VALUE (5/5) The pork knuckle rice altogether is $10 plus tax and leaves you full and fulfilled. Great portions and is balanced with good proportion of meat, rice, and veggies. They only take debit or cash. LOCATION (3.5/5) Located on the East side of Yonge St by Northtown Way, it is halfway between Finch and North York Center subway stations. There is paid street parking along Yonge. The store is quite small with 2-3 tables, so would expect to do takeout during peak hours. OVERALL (4.5/5) Really good value for a tasty well rounded meal. I will definitely be returning if I want a quick lunch or dinner with bang for buck. Paired with great flavours and quality of ingredients makes this a nice cheap eats reco!
