I finally made it to the original Lucky Lin's (on Finch)! A friend of mine has been raving out this…read moreplace for years, so I had to try their Guyanese Chinese cuisine since I was in the area. I ordered their Fried Chicken Leg on Top, served with Fried Rice for only CDN$9.00 on their Lunch Menu. Even though I was dining in, it was served in a takeout container that was packed full of food. It was heavy! Opening the box revealed a ton of food, packed to almost overflowing. This was not a case of them using a small box. It was packed! After being impressed with the portion size, especially for the price, I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the flavour. The chicken was fine but the fried rice was just kinda blah. It had no "wok hei". It needed a much hotter wok. It wasn't terrible but it definitely wasn't good. The ambiance is simple and sparse, with bare walls and minimal decor. It looks like it may have been a bit more posh at one time. At least it was clean and bright.

My first review of 2026 comes after ordering takeout here on a Friday night. This place is located…read morein the same plaza as Longos and is next to the beer store. This area has plenty of parking. I called ahead after finishing my grocery shop in Markham. The gentleman who answered the phone was quick & efficient. I ordered the spicy garlic beef dinner combo with an upgrade to hakka noodles. It also comes with a vegetable spring roll. I also ordered Spicy Hakka Noodle with chicken Manchurian style for hubby. When I arrived approximately 15 minutes later, my food was ready and waiting. Dine in is available and the size of the restaurant is average with only one table whereas there were quite a few takeout orders waiting. My bag of food smelled amazing and hefty!! It was still hot when I got home even after putting the groceries away & with a quick change out of my outside clothes. My spicy garlic beef with Hakka noodles was delicious. Love that there is green onion, julienned carrots & cabbage in it. The spice level wasn't that spicy in my opinion however certain bites were spicier due to it having green Thai chillies in it. The beef could of been velveted more as some pieces were chewy. The amount of beef was plentiful and the container was pretty full. If possible, I would order this outside of the combo since the spring roll isn't my thing plus it was super oily. I can't speak for the other dish except that the container was way more full than me. I did have a taste of the chicken and the noodle & it tasted kind of bland to me. I would order from this place again if I was in the area. Tip: I received a 5% discount paying cash.

We got the chilli chicken, chicken corn soup, schezuan fried drive, chicken pakora, Schezuan shrimp. I'll be very honest it is no where near Frederick, but for a place in Vaughn I would say it is pretty good, the fried rice was tasty had a good spice to it, the chilli chicken was very tasty and crispy, I still think Federick taste better and is a better deal but for a small restaurant not and for Hakka food. The chicken pakora with the green sauce was very good also may be they should double check the plates to make sure they're not broken cuz my mom noticed that. My favourite here was the chilli chicken I hope this place does well but just focus on quality get good product.

The family favourite ended up being the veg pakora. It was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, with a nice little kick from the green sauce. The canto chow mein had everything: crispy noodles, umami sauce, assorted seafood, chicken, beef, and veg. The dried chili chicken was super crispy with a nice kick and the meat inside was so juicy. The crispy ginger beef was surprisingly better than we expected. It was crispy and tasted sweet which was so nicely balanced. Chili shrimp in the gravy was good but it was more gravy and not enough shrimp that I wouldn't reccomend this one, lol. Hakka chicken chow mein was just okay for us. The dish size and portions are pretty small. Each dish portion is enough only for just one person, but thankfully we just ordered enough to share and satisfy us. They gave us the take out menu to order from that was just a generic list of all their dishes. There were no descriptions or pictures for what's in each dish, which made it difficult for my in-laws to know what to order. The pakora was our fave dish, but had my BIL not ordered that, none us would have thought to order it simply cause we didn't know what it was. When my MIL asked in hakka what she suggests we try, we didnt get much and still had to depend on other reviews online to know what to order, lol. If you're looking for cheap and delicious takeout (wouldn't dine in again tbh) this is a good spot for a quick eat!

The khao soi was so flavorful, and I loved how the takeout container separated the noodles from the curry. Wish I could buy some of these containers for myself!

The taste made it worth it, but perhaps next time we will dine in and take advantage of that price fully!

The owner of this shop is the kindest and will always give you best service while you are there. Has lots of dining available and you can usually be seated right away.

As someone who is vegetarian on certain days of the week, this is an amazing place to go for worthwhile vegetarian options. The food is soo delicious and with the perfect amount of heat. Totally coming to this place if you are ever looking for some good hakka food in the city! 9/10 recommend!

I don't usually trust places with chicken balls on the menu but I'm so glad we gave this place a chance. As a party of 6 on a Saturday at 8pm, they were able to easily accommodate us. Parking is also very easy to find. The menu is very extensive and can easily be overwhelming, with over 100 items. However the staff are very helpful in describing what each item is, recommending what's most popular and what they personally like. We never had Cambodian cuisine before, so we took their recommendations and they were bang-on! It was my first time having Cambodian-style pho - the soup base is garlic based rather than bone broth based, which honestly I think I prefer more! The wings were also crispy (not much special flavour) and beef skewers were very lemongrass-tasting, which was refreshing. Their prices are also not bad at all. If I was in the area, I would definitely come back.

When we got there and looked at the menu, I realized it wasn't the type of Malaysian food I normally eat but we gave it a try anyways. Why not try something new.

Everything was absolutely delicious! We couldn't finish everything so we took the chilli chicken to go as well as the curry chicken cause it was so good. Told my husband to stop by the place and bring back some takeout for me anytime he goes to Toronto.

I was dining solo today, so I only ordered one dish: the Khao Soi Soft‑Shell Crab, which was marked as a recommended item on the menu. The curry noodle soup itself was delicious, with that classic Thai‑style sweet curry flavour. But the protein‑to‑noodle ratio was disappointing. It was a serious noodle overload, noodles in the soup plus a pile of crispy fried egg noodles on top. Carb coma incoming. The toppings were minimal: a few bean sprouts and a small fried soft‑shell crab. The crab was tasty, but overall the dish didn't feel like good value for the price. It's something I'm glad I tried once, but I'd move on to another dish next time.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5…read moreAmbiance 3.5/5 Food I came here for a snack after a haircut at a salon nearby. Hubby had already been here & was waiting for me. He had the fried chicken wings & said they were delicious. When I arrived I ordered the beef pad thai. It came relatively quickly & was really delicious. I would definitely come back & try some other dishes. Service I was surprised that my husband & I were the only people in the restaurant. Hubby said that they had been doing mostly take out orders. In any case, service was attentive & polite. There was a young man who took my order and another lady who was preparing things around the restaurant. It was relaxed and a nice atmosphere. Ambiance It's very colourful inside the restaurant. The walls are painted with cute designs. I liked it. The washrooms are down the hall on the main level. I didn't like how cluttered that hallway is though. I hope they clear away some of the restaurant supplies from that hallway to the bathroom. The women's washroom was clean. However one of the cabinets in the washroom was full of dust on the top. It's kind of strange because the toilet & sink itself were very clean. Overall I think if they did a few improvements I would rate the ambiance of the restaurant better than 3.5. The food & service were otherwise really good here. Next time I'm in the area I will come back & try a different dish.
