    Chicken was okay. Wish there was an option to order multiple flavours. The service was great though. It was mostly quiet and empty on a weekday evening with only around 2 other tables of people.

    3.5 STARS Most fried chicken places in the complex don't open until 4pm, and it was lunch time so I stopped by here. Wanted to do take out and ordered the garlic soy chicken wings which comes with small fries on the side and ordered sweet potato fries too. Order came out to be $29 and change. The kind cashier told me it'll take about 10 minutes to finish. I left and walked around the complex before coming back and just on time, she just finished bagging my order. Got home and wings were still hot! Full of sauce and flavour, but I did have that mouth feel of too much flour or cornstarch/potato starch. It had that floury, after taste, as if they didn't dust off the excess flour before frying. The sauce on the wings flavour is good, but it doesn't taste like your typical Korean style garlic soy. The fries were nicely fried and crispy. The sweet potato fries were soggy and cut like thin rectangles. I don't recommend ordering the sweet potato fries unless you like them thin and soggy. I believe they accept cash and debit only. If you pay cash they don't include tax. Good to try, but don't think I'll be back.

    5DM, sweet potato fries
    Joy H.

    Awesome chicken spot! The chicken is hot tender, and boneless--just the way I like it. We got the 5DM and I will say there is not that much chicken in it, given the price. It includes quite a bit of rice cakes and roasted garlic (which is a very big highlight in my opinion) which could be like 40% of the dish. The whole shush is lovely though, saucy tender chicken and roasted garlic is perfection! I love me the cheese dip, and sweet potato fries are a personal fav. Their sweet potato fries were nice and crispy on the outside but still soft and moist on the inside. Overall, pretty great taste but the price is a bit steep from what you expect.

    After viewing the photos that were posted, we decided to come try it out. We ordered the 5.5cm DM Chicken Set- 2 sides of chicken with your chosen spice level, salad, and either fries or sweet potato fries. However, it was a disappointment... the whole night me and my friends had to play "Where's the chicken?" as they were cut into very tiny pieces. In fact, everything was tiny- chicken, garnish, rice cake, except the price wasn't tiny. We paid nearly $45 (including tac + tips) for a plate for diced chicken. Taste wise, as we ordered sweet spicy, it lived up to its name except leaned towards the sweet side. Definitely will not come back. Not worth the price :(

    Food: It definitely was not a very filling meal despite us ordering the largest tray on the menu. Despite paying approximately $20+ each, we were all left feeling pretty hungry. The primary midsection of the food was supposed the main chicken entree - and it disappointingly had more potatoes and onions than any chicken. The other side dishes on the tray (ie. lamb chops, beef patty, fries) were probably the best part of the meal. Service: Service was pretty bad - I had to go up to keep asking for new water jugs since the server was inattentive and didn't really tend to our table despite it not being very busy. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was probably the only positive mention for this review - it felt very warm and cozy. Almost like I was sitting in a friend's dining room and having dinner. I sadly have to give this establishment 2 stars.

    I shared the 5 dm chicken. I feel like it was half filler. It's not all chicken. In the mix is rice cake rolls, potatoes and garlic. It's not as much as you may think. The chicken is spread out over the tray. For this price I'd expect more chicken. Also, the chicken isn't fried. I'm not sure why I was expecting this, but it still tastes good. The sauce is what saves this dish. The mild is still very spicy. The middle white sauce is some sort of cheese mix. It's tastes like cheese diluted with mayonnaise lol. Also, the bowl of rice is small. Luckily you can ask for more. The salad is basic. The layout of the food tray increases the presentation marks. The candles adds a touch of class to this restaurant.

    This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. We got the $68.88 meal. It comfortably fed 5 people. The chicken was saucy and tender. Loved the fries, and fried chicken. The beef patty was literally a burger patty with melted cheese. Food was delish, and would definitely come back here again.

    7.5CM DM Chicken Set
    Allison T.

    Located in Toronto (SkyCity Shopping Centre)This area is known for their mass selection of bubble tea and we had to find a spot in this area to eat! DM Chicken is a restaurant that has special recipes for their food selection. We ordered their 7.5CM DM Chicken Set. A set consist of multiple foods and sauce to dip in. For sets their are two food selections of DMChicken. We ordered one selection as original spice level and the other as medium spice level. The set included multiple sides and sauces. We had an option for pork chop or beef patty, and fries or sweet potato fries. For our set, we choose pork chop and regular fries . We didn't find anything special about these two, the pork chop was dry and flavourless and the fries were mediocre. The other sides were fried chicken (6 pieces), daily salad and cheese . We found the salad to be like any other house salad, and the fried chicken to be crispy. The cheese wasn't as satisfying as we thought it would be as it wasn't stringy. As for the main portion of the set, the DMChicken came with rice cake, potato, onion, carrot, and garlic. The chicken had so much sauce that was rather sweet for our liking. We appreciated how they balanced out the chicken with vegetables, but found their was a lot of potato. We wouldn't return here for a full meal again, but would consider this spot for snacky foods. 6/10

    5 DM original chicken
    Holly K.

    There aren't many places like DM chicken around toronto (atleast not that I know of) so it was a new experience for my friends and I. We came on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. I ordered the original 5 DM chicken, which comes with rice cake, potatoes, salad, rice, and fries, and shared with my bf. The first thing I noticed about this place is that there isn't really a chicken option that caters to one person.. the smallest is the 5 DM which you'd def have to share if you want to try the chicken, otherwise you have no choice but to choose a different dish like the noodles. The sauce for the chicken was pretty good, as it was sweet and even had an enjoyable hint of spicy. I will say that I was slightly disappointed with the amount of rice cake that was include in the chicken set. The atmosphere is nice and spacious and not very crowded. The service was pretty lowkey, as they would only come to you when asked despite the fact that it was already pretty dead in there when we visited. After tax and tips, our bill came to a bit over $50 (for 2 person portions). It was an average experience, cool to try, but you're not missing out on much if you don't. For the price, I think there's a lot of other places I'd opt to go to way before this.

    Black chicken with fries $15.99 sweet and juicy!
    Dilys C.

    Came here on a whim for some sort of fried chicken. I came in the afternoon as a party of 3, it was not busy at all and we were seated right away. We ordered the 5DM and the black chicken with fries. - 5DM - large enough for 2 people. Choice of one sauce and we got mild. It was sweet with a hint of spice. The dish came with chopped up chicken pieces, potatoes, garlic, chili peppers and rice cakes. This also comes with a side of salad, 2 small rice, choice of fries or sweet potato fries (we picked sweet potato) and 2 dips (we picked honey mustard and sweet and sour). - I wasn't too impressed by the cheese dip in the middle... it probably wasn't made of actual cheese... tasted more like a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream - Black chicken with fries $15.99 - We were surprised how black the crust of the chicken was even though it looked charred and burnt! This was surprisingly good as the chicken came out juicy and sweet. The menu was a bit hard to read as most of it was in Chinese. Post on social media for 10% off. The place was quite spacious and had cute decor. Average service. I would say it's a bit pricey as I thought the overall flavour was OK, not outstanding.

    5 DM Plate
    Arnold L.

    DM Chicken is quite an interesting food spot to check out if you happen to be in the Scarborough area. They have gained quite the reputation in the local Toronto food scene for their wide family style platter comprised of chicken, cheese dip, fries, salad and rice. I came one evening with a friend very excited to see what the whole hype was all about. We were seated quickly, which was a little surprising for a Saturday evening. Nevertheless, we decided to order the 5 DM Plate. When the platter came to our table, it is exactly what you see on the menu. The chicken is stir fried with cubed potatoes, onion, garlic and chilis. It was ok, not excellent but not bad when you dip the chicken in the cheese dip even though it's really cream cheese. There is unlimited rice, which is nice to help soak up the sauce from the chicken. Overall, DM Chicken is a solid spot if you're looking to share a meal with friends and family. It's worth a try, but not worth its value since the majority of the plate id filled with carb fillers. The service is good and the restaurant atmosphere is clean, but it's not worth a frequent visit.

    We came for the novelty of how the food was presented in those long trays; and I guess we would only be coming back (if ever) for that same reason. Taste of the food and value for money is nothing special. The fries served tasted cheap like something one can just get at your local supermarket. Good thing there are dipping sauces to change up the flavours. The chicken order is also not that much as we would have hoped. There is a good fraction of the serving which was composed of rice cakes, cheese, or potatoes = Food Fillers. Good points I do have to point out is how I personally loved the blend of sweet chili on the chicken as well as the playfulness of the taste of the cheese ingredient. Place would warrant full stars if they either lower the price or increase the serving portions. Maybe then would I consider coming back for reasons other than the treat of the experience.

    Black Chicken--doesn't look appealing, but it's SO GOOD.
    Jessy L.

    I'm not sure exactly what the flavour of their Black Chicken is, but believe me when I say that you should try it. It looks like chicken that is completely burnt, but that's just how it looks like from the flavouring! It's like a very soft outer batter of blackness that is not too salty. The outside is crispy but soft and the chicken itself is extremely juicy and flavourful. I asked the waitress what the batter/flavour is, but she couldn't really tell me. She mentioned curry (I think?), but it does not have any curry taste at all. It's an airy and salty kind of flavour. I'm glad I decided to try it though because I will DEFINITELY be back for it again. It came with a total of 12 chicken wings and a side of fries, so for the price of $15.99 I would say that it's worth it.

    But it's been a long time since I ate at Swatow and wanted to come here with my siblings for lunch…read moreon my birthday! And the food was delicious as always. I've been coming here for decades and I had many fond memories when I lived in the area. The place is a medium size restaurant and looked exactly the same. The service as fast as usual. Usually there's a long line to get in but we got a table for four right away on a Sunday after 1pm. Then after we ordered our server offered us a larger table which we really appreciated. And glad we did because all the dishes were huge! We ordered to share: -Ginger Scallion Lobster -Shrimps in lobster sauce on rice -Cantonese Chow Mein -Fried squid -Spring rolls Everything tasted great and fresh but I wish the ginger scallion lobster tasted better. It wasn't the same as the one I had at another restaurant on Baldwin St. that closed many years ago. But it was still so nice to return to this iconic Chinatown restaurant.

    Use to be the spot, decided to come here for lunch with my mom…read more Food was great, there was no interaction other than the waitress standing by their designated spot gossiping. Ordered my regular Stir Fried Beef rice noodle (lots of Wok Hei) and Fried bean curd with vegetables. Food came out great and tasted great. The only thing I did not like was when my mom barely finish they brought out the bill to rush us out. It wasn't that busy since it was after the lunch rush hour. The thing is when the bill came they overcharged us by a buck and we just decided to leave it be along with tipping them greatly. There was absolutely no interaction or even a thanks for stopping by and come back for more. This was my fave spot to eat whenever I'm craving for Chinese food, guess I will have to find something else. It's also cash only since they have an atm by the washroom entrance.

It was so packed but my brother was able to save a table while I did the ordering. This was a very casual and self service type of restaurant in which you can order at the front desk or at their kiosk. They had a limited time "promotion" going on in which you can order a maximum of 2 orders of their xiaolongbao or steamed mini soup dumplings for $2.99 with a minimum spend of $10. But honestly, I've seen this promotion since last year so I'm thinking it's actually a permanent offer. We ordered two orders of their pan fried pork buns, 1 order of their pan fried chicken dumplings, and 2 order of their promotional steamed mini soup dumplings. I thought everything tasted pretty good. The pan fried buns and dumplings were very crispy and quite juicy. My only nitpick is that I wished they put some kind of veggies or chives in their filling. It was just meat and felt too 1 dimensional for me. The steamed mini soup dumplings was actually really good though which is such a surprise at this price point. The outer layer was very thin and the filling was packed with soup. It was very delicious and hearty. Are these the best Chinese dumplings and bun's I've ever had ? No, but they were great especially for the price point. I would definitely come back again next time I am craving Chinese dumplings and buns. Also they take Amex which is always a plus in my book.

    I've been craving Szechuan-style whole grilled fish for the longest time, so I was really happy…read morewhen I stumbled across this spot while walking on Spadina. The posters outside caught my eye, and I decided to come back with a group of three friends to try it out. We came a bit late around 8 PM, and most of the fish were already sold out except the original. We ended up ordering the Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($40), a whole fish served bubbling hot with three toppings (potatoes, spam, and lotus root). You can choose between catfish and turbot, we chose the turbot fish. It looked extremely spicy, but the spice level was actually perfect. It was a bit on the oily side, but pairing it with rice balanced it out nicely. The fish was very tender and buttery, everything tasted amazing! We also ordered the Stir-Fried Egg with Tomato. The eggs were soft, the tomato sauce was rich. Not to mention the portion size was huge, we even had leftovers after eating until we were full. The restaurant itself was spacious, clean, and had plenty of seating. I think they were doing some sort of promotion so they gave us a $25 off coupon, though it expired pretty quickly so we didn't get to use it. I'd definitely come back for that grilled fish.

    This is a new Chinese restaurant featuring Hunan and Szechuan cuisine. The spicy dishes emphasize…read morespiciness, not numbness. A few of their dishes come out on a sizzling plate with flames underneath. They are still in soft-opening mode with several specials. You can see the menus via a QR code. The Hunan cuisine is listed as "Hunan Noodles" and the Szechuan cuisine is listed as "Chopfire Menu". The Szechuan dishes are listed with 1 to 3 chilies representing the spiciness. If you can't handle spicy, then avoid eating the chili pieces and you might "survive". The restaurant decided to minimize their food offerings so that they can focus on refining their dishes in terms of quality and taste, including from customer feedback. We ordered the following: 1. Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($39.95). 2. Home Stir Fried Beef ($21.95). 3. Bullfrog with Baby Ginger ($19.95). 4. Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Pork ($15.95). 5. Drunk Oolong (charcoal roasted oolong tea base) x 2 ($5.95 x 2). 6. Lemon Taro Balls ($7.95). We also saw the following: 7. Stir-Fried Sliced Pork with Green Pepper Noodle Soup ($9.99). First 10 customers each day, only pays $1.00. 8. Ink Painting Cocktail ($5.95). The Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish came out on a huge sizzling platter. The BBQ Fish, a Turbot Fish, was very fresh and flaky, easily coming off the bone. There is no head attached like at typical Chinese restaurants but it would not have fit in the platter. The platter had a delicious sauce (soupy consistency and not sweet), luncheon meat slices, lotus root slices, and two other vegetables, along with chili pieces. The entire dish tasted great together with the various flavours. The menu listed it as 2-chili spicy but I could handle it by avoiding the chili pieces. The Home Stir Fried Beef is tender. It is listed as 3-chili but I could handle it by avoiding the chili pieces. The Bullfrog with Baby Ginger has the bullfrog cut up in little pieces; no you don't see a whole frog! The meat was actually good but most pieces have bones in it, so it takes time to eat it carefully. There was ginger slices in it but it, but we thought the slices were quite large! The Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Pork was very delicious! It came in a sizzling plate. The Cauliflower was flavourful and was not crunchy and not too soft. I've never had preserved pork slices before; it was quite good, not as salty as Chinese preserved vegetables. The Drunk Oolong has comes in a small bowl a with gin and ice. On the side, they include pieces of the charcoal roasted oolong tea leaves so you can smell it; quite a good smell indeed. You can also order it without the gin, which is what I ordered for mine (since I don't drink alcohol). It was such a nice drink! The Lemon Taro Balls dessert was pretty. In the centre was a slice of lemon. The customer service was good. There is plenty of indoor table and counter seating, including a small private room at the back. There is also an outdoor patio during warmer weather. There is pop music playing in the background. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two gender-neutral washrooms downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-026

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.

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.

    Toronto Review 4/Many: I went to this excellent Lanzhou spot with another person as one of my…read moreearlier meals. Our server, Sophia, was bubbly and friendly, giving suggestions and helping with the ordering process for the other person who wasn't as sure what they wanted. We eventually went with two appetizers and two entrees, which was more than enough food, and honestly, we could have only ordered one appetizer. The better of the two appetizers was the CAD 8.95 Hand Shredded Pepper Chicken/手撕椒麻雞/Shou Si Ji. The dish consists of cold chicken in a flavorful sauce, topped with some greens. The chicken was tender, with a mild, pleasant spice and a bit of numbingness from the Sichuan peppercorns, along with some fragrance, presumably from sesame oil. It reminded me a bit of salivating chicken you find in some Szechuan spots, but it was more aromatic and a bit less spicy. The other appetizer was the Steamed Edamame/岩鹽毛豆 with Himalayan pink salt for CAD 5.95. The other person chose between this and the vegetable dumplings, as he avoids pork, and it was, of course, lighter than the other appetizer. The decent portion of edamame was topped with some pickled carrots as a garnish. My main dish was the Braised Beef Noodles/紅燒牛肉面/Hong Shao Niu Rou Mian. The dish included several options, including size, noodle style, and spice level. I chose the large for CAD $20.95, medium spice, and for the noodle style, I chose flat/宽面, as it was closest to the prism style I like at Lanzhou spots in the States. Along with these, I also added a tea egg for an extra CAD 2.95. Outside the add-on, the dish also had a couple of large slices of radish. Compared to some spots in NYC, I slightly preferred the QQ/bouncy texture of the noodles at a spot near me. However, the broth was better here with a balanced amount of mala, though I would likely order spicy next time, as I tend to add chili oil to the relatively lighter Lanzhou broths. The beef was also much better, being tender with a mild chew regardless of whether it was tendon or other cuts. The tea egg was flavorful and worth the add-on, especially when the inside was dipped further into the broth. I can see why others order this. The other person went with the Signature Stir-fried Noodles/招牌炒面/Chao Tatiaozi. There was an option of protein, and he went with Chicken for $17.95 and added the same egg. I tried a bit, and there was a pleasant pepperiness with a bit of numbing flavor, but less than my dish. The noodles had a good bounciness and overall had a slightly better chewiness than mine. This was lighter overall, but also tasty. This spot has apparently come to the US already at the Mall of America, and I would love it if there were a location closer to me. Good place.

    One of my go-to options when I'm on campus & hungry! I always get the cold sesame noodles, they're…read moredeliciously tangy and have a nice lingering spice that makes me want to eat more. 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.

    My wife is responsible for this restaurant adventure. I am not a big Chinese food fan because a…read moredinner of fried rice, Kung Pao chicken, and a fortune cookie ranks in my book on the low end of a fine dining experience. So I was delighted to find out what a talented chef can do with Chinese-influenced cuisine. But first, the location. This was our first time visiting Toronto so we were unfamiliar with the city's neighborhoods. When we stepped out of the Uber, I surveyed what appeared to be a grittier environment than the downtown area. I wasn't overly concerned. A cardboard sign taped to a window directed us down a hallway to the restaurant's entrance. It is a curious marketing approach and the sign could easily be missed by patrons, but it did add a little mystery to whatever awaited us behind the restaurant door. When we entered, we were immediately greeted by a pleasant hostess and an energetic vibe. The hostess confirmed our reservation (which had been guaranteed by a credit card) and offered to take our coats and umbrella. We were soon seated in pleasantly decorated, almost traditional-looking Chinese joint. Our server, Alex, cheerfully greeted us, asked us if this was our first time at Sunny's, and then gave a brief explanation of the culinary concept behind Sunny's approach to Chinese cuisine. In the interest of your time, I will quickly sum up our dining experience especially as you can easily find other online reviewers that make mention of their favorite dishes: Exceptionally friendly and efficient service (kudos to Alex!), quickly served, unique, and flavorful dishes, and wine and cocktail offerings (including non-alcoholic options) that pair well with the wide-ranging choice of entrees. A hghly recommended, surprisingly fun and delectable culinary experience.

    Was in the Kensington area enjoying a summer weekend and remembered Sunny's was nearby. Came here…read moreto try the dessert since I've heard so many great things about it. Sunny's is located within a small hallway, look for a nostalgic hk style neon sign outside a non descript door. We were treated warmly and I advised the hostess I wanted to drop in quickly for their popular sesame dessert, and was promptly seated in their outdoor patio. They have a quaint and surprisingly quiet outside patio. We ordered the sesame French toast and it came out exactly how I imagined it. I request the oolong condensed milk on the side. It was a light and small treat for the afternoon. The sesame flavour wasn't overwhelming and the sweetness was just right.
