Wow! What a nice surprise! We came about this place just yelping for Chinese food while on vacation and this was one of the best places we ate at in Toronto. There were a lot of to-go orders while we were here, but not a lot of people eating in. People are missing out! Food: 5/5 we got the hot and sour soup, Peking spare ribs, pea sprouts, salt and pepper fried fish, tofu clay pot, and fried rice. All were delicious and delivered hot. We had plenty of leftovers for 4 and left stuffed. Service was great. Felt like a home cooked meal read more

Hole in the wall that serves up big flavor. My little cousin favorite lunch spot at work, she insisted on taking up here for dinner. Definitely not fine dinning but service was great. Fried lobster was fire alongside the shrimp, this place reminds me of WoHop in NYC. I got some soup made of dried fish gut & the waitress asked me twice if I was sure I wanted it. I would recommend this place. read more

The food is good but where they start losing me is the price. I went twice in the same week and ended up paying $30 for less food. The food always comes out fast however you may want to avoid the washrooms unless it's an absolute emergency cas they have a permastink. read more

Back again and the food here is always delicious. This place is 10/10 recommended. We were seated right away and per usual fresh hot food was served up in minutes. read more

Food and service were great! The staff were friendly. Great that they allow dogs. Would recommend

The dry chilli chicken is not as good If you want fast food, this place is it If you want no frills, this is it Interior is depressing, takeout game is busy and strong read more

I ordered the spicy shrimp and it was vey bad. I could literally smell it even before I took a bite. I had to dump $50 worth of shrimp immediately . And there is no way the cook didn't know the food was bad. Worst Chinese food ever,never going back there. read more

I suppose my expectations were higher than just blindly walking in since my parents and aunt had gone and enjoyed their lunch. One of my favourite dishes is pork loin with salt and chilli. What was brought out looked different from what I'm used to. The version at this restaurant had some kind of hot sauce all over it. It looked more like sweet and sour pork than pork with salt and chilli. When we asked the owner (?) about our dish he said that a lot of their patrons prefer the version with sauce. So, I guess they aren't that traditional with their dishes? At a table nearby their order came out wrong. They had ordered 2 shrimp fried rice and 1 chicken. They got 2 chicken fried rice instead. The owner was good to take it back and redo their order. Just disappointed. read more

We were introduced to this place by some family friends who have been coming here for over 20 years. This was their go-to place for Chinese food, the place they would drag each other to after late work nights, late party nights, family reunions, pretty much any excuse they can get to go here they would. Boy did this place not disappoint. The hot and sour soup definitely had a nice kick that takes it apart from the other hot and sour soup we've eaten. The spicy deep fried tofu left me craving for more with each bite. The crab was huge and had lots of meat, it was a delectable meal,something I definitely did not expect from a place that's known for cheap eats. This meal definitely hit the spot for late night cravings. Also, shout out to the owner because I left my purse here and when I called them to return they had it at the front with everything still in tact, he even asked permission to open it up to see my ID. Honest business, honest food. We will definitely return! read more

This is one of the better cheap eats in the city. It may not be spectacular, but it's solid. It's an old school Chinese dive that offers a little something for everyone. Nothing fancy, just a plate of foodie goodness and a pot of hot tea. If I need a bowl of brisket noodle soup or just rib and rice, I'll pop by. read more

No other place can I get such amazing dry chili crab or lobster. It's so good, some days, I drive 30 mins just to takeout some for midnight snack. Yum yum! read more

I bought some spicy shrimp and shrimp fried rice. The shrimp in the fried rice was spoilt, also the spicy shrimp. They make their food very quickly, which makes me wonder, if it's prepared ahead . Terrible service read more

In the heart of the downtown core, Wah Too is a place I frequent if I'm craving seafood. Best spicy shrimp I've ever had and always crave it whenever I'm in the area. The lobster is good too. I can't really speak for anything else because that's all I really get from here. I have only ever done take out from here, and while it tastes best fresh, it still tasted good once I got home 45-1h after. Definitely not the cleanest place and the service isn't anything special so I gave it four stars for that, but the food comes out relatively quickly and it hasn't ever disappointed me. Keep in mind they are a busy place, so I'd recommend calling in ahead of time to order! read more

This is the best Chinese food I've ever had. Concidering I've traveled a LOT, and eat a TONNE of Chinese food this comment is not to be taken lightly! Their food has become a bit spicier then it used to be, but just ask for no so spicy and you're golden! Try their hot & sour soup, spicy shrimp, lobster, boneless chicken in a hot pot, ....mmmmm now I'm hungry! read more

Food: a OK chinese food, taste worse than food court Price: $10 per person Only recommend if you are really really hungry and has nothing opens around you. A group of us went here after nuit blanche. Only this place opens 3 in the morning. The food is pretty bad in my opinion. The portion is good, the food comes pretty fast, however, the food does not taste good, even worse than the food court or fast food. I don't think I would come again. read more

The BEST chilli chicken in Toronto, hands down. We also ordered the General Tso and some plain rice. The spring roll was plain but tasted alright. read more

Late night drunk food you say?? Right across a well known Toronto establishment which is known as Hong Shing is Wah Too. $5 beers and chinese food that is made in a hurry. I ordered the hakka chow mein- which was string noodles with chicken and shrimp. Very large portion. However - there was a LOT of salt in my dish. Like overwhelmed. I drenched it with sriracha and it tasted better. However my highlight is the spicy shrimp which tasted amazing. MUST TRY!!! This place is great for late nights and cheap Chinese. read more

Toronto has two Chinatown's, one in the east at Broadview and then the one on Spadina, but in pockets around town there exists small versions where real Chinese restaurants actually exists and in one of these on Centre St is Wah Toos. Now, as is the case with many great finds, you trip upon it by accident. An old co-worker told me about this place, and one day when hanging out after work we hit it up, and let me tell you, I'm glad we did. Tasty, quick delicious food and lunch specials that are actually full size portions at actual lunch special prices, not $14.99 and they threw in a small salad as an afterthought. These are real deals. But something happened in between all the love of tasty lunch specials and humongous dinner helpings: bad service. Grumpy servers, a few bad dishes and one instance where I had been incredibly polite and yet the server almost threw the plate onto the table, and then I didn't come back for a long time. But one day I was by city hall and had a hankering for some cheap Chinese and didn't want to go to the noise and craziness of the Eaton food court. So I decided to give Wah Too another try. And as the old expression goes, re-united and it feels so good! The service was great and both servers I had were friendly and helpful. And the food was quick. And delicious. I ordered two specials because it was so good. And I had beaten the office lunch time rush so it was nice and quiet. And the lunch specials go until 3:30pm! I had the chicken balls on fried noodle and the Szechuan beef on fried noodle. So good. I'll be back. Again. And probably again. And again! Go! read more

This Gem of a Chinese restaurant I found it on Yelp the food was so good and it was the 2nd restaurant I had in 4 months after my 1st meal in 2 week period went back 4 times all I can say is the 30 min drive is worth it if you don't go there your missing the goods read more

My boyfriend's all-time favourite spot in Downtown Toronto! He introduced me to the infamous Chili Chicken on Chicken Fried Rice (way better than white rice) and I was hooked! We went back a few more times to try the General Tao Chicken which was super saucy and sweet and the Wah Too Special Chow Mien; a good basic noodle dish. Go for the lunch specials (11AM-3:30PM), good portions for a discounted price. Service was very fast, servers were nice, definitely going back! read more

I ordered a chicken fried rice with egg earlier today and found a piece of eggshell in the rice. So disappointing since my entire order came up to $64..I don't recommend and I will not be going back. read more

This place is super lowkey but it's SO good. For $10, you can get a lobster dish that you can share amongst 3-4 friends. Delicious Chinese food :) don't let the appearance/aesthetic throw you off! The place looks sketchy from the outside but the food is good! Hence the high rating of the place. :3 the servers are pretty attentive and friendly. Great for groups because they have big round tables. All dishes are sharable, and thus every dish comes with a generous portion.

In town for business and was able to walk here for dinner. Wow! Spicy shrimp and wonton soup were amazing. The reviews on the appearance not being the most appealing are true but don't judge a book by it's cover. Great service and even better food. I highly recommend. read more

Trust me and ignore the bad Yelp reviews this time. The food and service at this place was superb. We had nothing bad to say about this place, though we suspected a slightly heavy hand with the MSG. One of their specialties appeared to be the spicy salt and pepper shrimp we ordered, big, plump shrimp that had a batter coating to which chili paste has been added. The taste was incredible, different than the usual salt pepper shrimp that is just flash fried and coated with salt and pepper. This one crackled with its coating and presented spicy, tangy, salty tastes, along with the sweetness of the fresh shrimp and the sauce. Our other dish, seafood pan fried noodles, was also packed with flavor. Even the tea was good, not the usual watered down overused tea leaves you get in dives. I would not even call this a dive. Bestie, who has eaten at serious dives in NYC, remarked that I like greasy spoons. Compared to immaculate Vancouver Chinese spots, this would get a B. But compare it to a typical NYC Chinatown restaurant, an A plus indeed. The food isn't overly greasy by the way, but is reasonably priced and even cheap for the generous portions you get. This place is outside Chinatown, and, we were told, popular with clubbers late night. I could see why. After a night of spinning and gyrating, you definitely want to chow down on the delicious piles of food here. It seems to be a fave of groups too. We were agape when we saw the mountain of lobster the table behind us had, and was told it was only two lobsters. We doggie bagged the goods, tucked it into our hotel fridge, and I had a great, cold Chinese breakfast. Even Bestie availed herself of cold spicy shrimp the next day. I don't know if this place changed management, but the gracious service we got was so contrary to the bad Yelp reviews from years ago. The decor wasn't memorable,but it was pretty clean and the bathroom was very clean.This restaurant would be a repeat if I lived in Toronto. read more

Best place to get lobster and shrimp. Every time I go I just have to get the spicy dry lobster and the pepper shrimp. I always get both extra spicy and they always manage to add spice without it taking over the full flavour. I also like the shrimp fried rice and chili chicken dry YUM! Highly recommend this place. The outside may look unappealing and the inside small and not inviting, but the food is where they obviously focus and all that matters is they get your taste buds going. read more

Finger licking yummmmy food. One star has been deducted due to gloomy ambience. Apart from this, food is awesome and heavenly delicious. Their Chilli Chicken, Crispy fried shrimps, chow mein, chilli fish, egg fried rice all are winners. You won't regret spending your money at this restaurant. If you are out in downtown Toronto, please do not waste your money in any other restaurant. Just go to Wah Too. The only down fall is, just like any other place in downtown, you don't have free parking here. read more

Get the chilli chicken, I get it once a week soooooooooo good, havnt had anything else I heard they have good spicy squid

Wah too... wah too.. C-3PO... R2-D2... Call ahead... maybe they'll remember you... Pork and pickle soup... delicious big and cheap... yummy... Salt Shrimp with heads on great... thanks M... Were'd you go? Call... the usual number... Shrimp and Lobster Sauce... yuck... poop on a plate.. avoid that one... sounded good though... Here's my recipe for pork and pickle soup... zagat yum yum... First cut up boneless port into thin strips using good Wustof-Trident knife... Saute in lagostina non-stick wok on medium-high heat on big burner on stove... do not leave on... or over-cook or burn. Don't add water... Slice a couple of good dill pickles in quarters... add to pork... and heat... yummy yummy yummy... And my beef gravy recipe... water in lagostina non-stick wok, heat to boiling on large burner on high... add Knorr beef bouillon cubes too... and dissolve them by stirring with wooden spoon... take soft-flour from casa coffee, mix with water in IKEA novette, using henkels' red/black whisk from Hudson Bay Company... until you have a foamy paste... Add to bouillon-water mixture and whisk until smooth... serve with roast beef, yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips... yum... a hunters' meal. You can also do chicken gravy this way or turkey gravy this way... I like Thanks-giving with family and cousins on the farm...

Not impressed. Fried chicken balls for the kids came cold in the center, wonton soup a bit too sweet with bbq pork flavoring, the three seafood dish was just ok - not piping hot possibly because it came out 3 minutes after the soup), very limited "surf and turf" options - I had to order a seafood dish and add beef. Not enough white rice, never got water refills. Just wasn't impressed. read more

I can't even remember how long I've been coming here...since I got my driver's license..1985..and they were at the corner of the street! They used to be open 24 hours a day and I used to go at 4 in the morning for chinese food back in the day. Now regularly at 2 am every other Friday or Saturday after going to the club, lounge or patio. The chili chicken, spicy shrimp, spicy squid, fried rice, lobster, and pretty much anything else you want is the best. They are also the fastest restaurant I've ever been to. We timed it one night and had all our food in under 45 seconds, piping hot, tasting excellent as always...magic!! read more
