She explained the menu and of course I had to try the baked pork chop rice. The dish was really good and comparable to the ones I have in Hong Kong but the sauce is on the slightly sweeter side. The inside is cozy and super inviting. The star was the owner, she was the absolute sweetest. You don't normally get the best service at these places but the service here was amazing!! Would highly recommend.

If you're craving authentic, delicious dumplings in Toronto, Juicy Dumpling is the place to go!…read moreLocated in the heart of Chinatown on Spadina Ave, this cozy little gem offers an extensive variety of dumplings, both steamed and fried, that are filled to perfection. The pork and chive dumplings are a standout, bursting with flavor and topped with a savory soy dipping sauce. While the menu is simple, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. The atmosphere is no-frills, but don't let that fool you--the dumplings are definitely the star here. The service is quick and efficient, perfect for grabbing a bite in between exploring the bustling streets of Alexandra Park. If you're in the area and want a taste of traditional Chinese dumplings at a reasonable price, Juicy Dumpling should be at the top of your list!

The burst of flavor you get as you take your bite of dumpling is unlike anything I've ever had. I will say I enjoy the pan seared a little more. The inside isn't anything to write home about. It doesn't feel super safe as it's in a rough area but no one bothered us when we were there. Service was okay, nothing good or bad here to add.

Magical Taste of China in Toronto's Chinatown offers a delicious and authentic dining experience…read morewith flavors that truly capture the essence of Chinese cuisine. I ordered their signature stir-fried noodles with beef, which was wonderfully flavorful. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the beef was tender and juicy. The mushroom and tofu soup was light but rich in flavor, and a perfect complement to the main dish. For dessert, I enjoyed a creamy yogurt with fresh fruit--an ideal finish to the meal. The ambiance was casual, with a warm and welcoming vibe. The service was efficient and friendly, and I appreciated the staff's attention to detail. This is a great spot for anyone craving traditional Chinese dishes in a cozy, unpretentious setting.

The lamb and beef are clean, aromatic, and well-seasoned. The handmade noodles are a highlight. They're thick, chewy, and hold up well in the sauce without getting soggy. The broths are rich and flavourful, not watery, and feel very comforting. I Highly recommend the lamb skewer!! Super smoky, juicy, and loaded with cumin and spices. Overall, this is a solid choice if you enjoy strong flavours and authentic noodle textures.

During weekdays during the day there's not many workers so the service can be very slow. They're quick during the weekends and very busy. They also have a vip card for $25 which gives you 10% off the bill and free tea. The amount of times we go here and the food we order I think we already made the card worth. The place is clean and spacious. They have many table and some private dining for celebrations. We have celebrated some birthdays here and they're able to accommodate at least 15 people or so. I enjoy eating their typical dimsum dishes on the menu i.e. Siu mai, Har gow, salted egg yolk bun, egg tarts, turnip cake with shrimp. Their claypot rice is not bad as well. Giving it 4 stars because there were times when service is slow.

Legit HK-style noodles - I'm lovin' it! This is Cantonese fast food but 10000x better. Seemingly…read moresimple yet so good. They are the masters of the craft, indeed. The noodles were perfectly textured, crunchy, and bouncy. The soup was made according to HK standards - the proper way with dried shrimp flavor. It was rich and strongly flavored that way. According to the HK expert, mom, that is the proper and legit way. 100% approved. The price is right on point for a quick, simple meal. The waitress was straightforward, and the tea is not an extra charge. Just be careful as the tea is super, super hot. The noodle shop is my cup of tea as I'm familiar with places like this. I love it. It is the Chinatown feel. Lots of older folk eating there and not in a rush. They're reading the newspaper or chatting away. So don't be too worried if it's not the cleanest place as everything else more than makes up for it. The food is legit; the environment is legit. Check, and check.

Mott 32 absolutely feels like one of those places where the entire experience matters just as much…read moreas the food. From the moment we walked in, the space already set the tone.. dark, dramatic, elegant, and beautifully designed without feeling overly stiff. It has that upscale energy that makes dinner feel like an occasion before you've even ordered anything. Food-wise, there was a lot to love. The signature apple wood roasted Peking duck was definitely a highlight, especially with the tableside carving, which made the whole experience feel even more polished and memorable. The skin had that beautiful lacquered finish, and the duck was rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. We also ordered a few larger dishes for the table, and I really appreciated how everything still felt refined without losing that comforting, indulgent side of Chinese dining. Some dishes leaned rich and luxurious, others were lighter and more aromatic, so the meal never felt repetitive. Service was another standout. Attentive without hovering, smooth without being too formal.. exactly the kind of service you hope for in a restaurant like this. Overall, Mott 32 is absolutely the kind of place I'd come back to for a special dinner, celebration, or just one of those nights when you want the meal to feel a little more elevated than usual.

Finally back for dim sum…read more First off, they need to fix their reservation system. Don't accept 1:45pm reservations if the dining room closes at 2pm. Also, when we call to check if dim sum is being served, it makes sense to inform us of the dining room closure instead of having us come in anyway. We settled for eating in the lounge which ended up being good because bartender, Aiki?, was excellent as our server. Really great. Ordered the following: King prawn Har gow: standard. Not worth the premium Mott charges. Miso black cod dumpling: not good. Wouldn't order again Shredded Peking Duck Spring Roll, Sliced Vegetable : Excellent. We loved this! Nice and crunchy. Delicious duck inside. Good vinegar dipping sauce. Good volume Hot & Sour Iberico Pork Shanghainese Soup Dumplings: Fantastic and unique. The dumplings don't really need dipping sauce since inside there is a hot and sour soup along with pork. These are unique and delicious. Fried Wagyu beef taro croquette : pretty good but really tasted like a Jamaican patty Cold noodle with shredded duck : very generous with meat. Honestly a lot more than any other restaurant that serves this. To be fair no one charges this much either so it should. Flavour could be stronger but certainly decent. Fresh Mango, Coconut, Glutinous Rice Roll: nice fresh dessert. Our favourite. Frozen xiao long bao with chocolate and nut: Tastes like a mochi. Not bad. Dragonball Zen - fun name. Delicious drink. Jasmine Dragon Ball Infused Tanqueray Gin / Peach Liquor Lime / Rose Water / Mint / Seltzer Over $200 for this meal before tip. It's premium an debatable if with it. Will be back but just occasionally.

The other noodle dishes I've tried from here have been consistently good as well. They let you select what noodle thickness you like, and I think the thick flat noodles were too big for me, I was making a fool out of myself trying to slurp them all up ! I recommend getting medium ones so sauce doesn't splash all over you like what happened to me! A great, affordable meal option.
