    ***Watch Out: Hidden Tip on a Cash-Only Bill-Dishonest Billing Practice - Tip Added Without Telling Customers ***
    Andrew C.

    My girlfriend and I came here for lunch. Overall, the food was good and we had an okay experience, though there was a bit of a language barrier with the staff. One issue we had was with the billing and payment process. The restaurant is cash only, which we didn't mind -- we just used the ATM they directed us to. However, when we looked at the bill, the total was higher than expected. When we asked for clarification, they told us that an 18% tip was already included, even though we were just a table of two -- and they never mentioned this until we asked. All she does is just smiling at me. It feels like they rely on people not checking the bill or not understanding due to the language barrier. This kind of practice feels dishonest, and we wouldn't recommend it. If you decide to eat here, just make sure to double-check your bill.

    It was my first time going to this restaurant. And we both ordered rice dishes rather than noodle dishes because we forgot the name of the restaurant is King's "Noodle", lol. So it might be our fault. Whatever, we felt the dishes we ordered were really ... plain. We finished them all just because we were hungry and food in Toronto is pricy... so we were obligated to finish all the food to make our money worth... If I'm as rich as Drake, I would just leave the dishes on the table and leave. Another bad thing is it had many flies when we were in the restaurant. That is another factor that contributed to our unpleasant experience. However, if we had another chance, we'll order noodle dishes

    Roast duck & BBQ pork plate (C$16) good, but small portion IMHO
    Joe P.

    King's Noodle was on the list of Essential Toronto restaurants. They offer Canto cuisine, esp stuff hanging in the window, like roast duck, roast pork and char siu. King's is on Spadina in Chinatown. I ordered the duck & char siu plate. Although the items tasted good, the portion was small for the price IMHO. I had to have some of my travel companion's won ton mein to feel even close to satisfied. Regarding the ambiance, its your typical Chinese restaurant. It wasn't crowded, but there were some older native speakers present. The service was fast & efficient. It was nice they took USD, bc this was our last lunch b4 our flight in the evening. We had run out of C$. Unfortunately, after I returned home I saw a IG clip of Toronto Chinese BBQ places. King's wasn't on the list. However, the places that were had much bigger portions vs King's. Lesson learned: Before you visit a new city, obtain your recs from multiple sources. In addition, do your research.

    I honestly don't know what's the best restaurant in Chinatown, but this place was kinda empty when we went on a weekday night. We really liked the snow pea leaves, but the fishballs soup was alright. They didn't taste very fresh. I also had pork with wonton soup, but some of the meat was not fully cooked. The soup was not very flavorful either. Service was fine especially since they were not busy.

    Sub-standard food for a Chinese restaurant. The only good thing about it is that they cook very fast. The rice dishes are all very bland and tasteless. Seafood Fried Rice is 98% rice and barely has any seafood (only half pieces of very small shrimps and squid, which you could barely taste). The Cod with Sweet Corn on Rice seems to be mostly rice and flour (not much corn). Also bland. The veggies are ok, but still quite oily.

    Food was great and staff were nice. CASH ONLY! 1.1 Cad : 1 USD versus the actual conversion rate. At the time we just went "ok" and added a few extra dollars to make sure we included tip..but I wonder if they do this lower conversion to include tip? Shrugs but will come back next time we visit Toronto.

    Unfortunately, the food at this restaurant is now too consistently lacklustre for the previous high rating. Both quantity and quality have collapsed. The prices went way up, which is acceptable, but the standards also went way down simultaneously, which is less acceptable.

    Beef Chow Fun
    Edmund Y.

    The Beef Chow Fun was good. It was flavorful but not greasy like some restaurants. The House Chow Mein lacked flavor and bordered on being bland. The noodles were deep fried not pan fried. It had a mixture of shrimp, pork, squid, and veggies. The Cheung Fun wrapped Chinese donut lacked taste and texture. I would not recommend this. The Chinese donut would be great by itself if it were crunchy but it wasn't. The Two Item BBQ was fair. The BBQ Pork was lean and tasted good. It could have been sweeter but that's just my preference. The roast duck was meaty but lacked flavor. It bordered on being gamey as there was not sufficient marinade. The duck sauce was meh. ***Be aware. Staff tagged on a service fee without notifying us. It was also not labeled on the bill. However, when asked, the server was honest that it was a service charge. Very sneaky! We actually left a tip on the table until the server admitted to their underhanded service fee. We only had 3 people in our party. Dirty little hamsters!!!! Please check your bill carefully. They also mopped the floor while several tables were present and eating. This is not a hygienic practice.

    I lived in TO for 23 years and King's noodles was my favorite spot. After moving away for 18byears I came back and was excited to eat here. Upon entering I was impressed with the new renovation. It was clean and spacious unlike the good old days. Howver, the food was disappointing. Let's talk about the good food. The rice rolls and chicken rice were delicious. Fried donuts were very good too. Congee was good and had a good texute,, but they added leftover roast pork instead of the pork. It's pork and preserved egg congee, if u add leftover pork, it's definitely not the same. And I hate it when restaurant cut cost by using their leftovers. Wonton were also not that great. It had a thick skin and not enough filling. This place has lost its sparks, just like how every restaurant in Chinatown.

    Driving By Spadina ... there's tons of goodies everywhere how can you pick one place when everything and everywhere looks so delicious!! So many authentic asian dishes everywhere as we were in the Mecca of Chinatown Toronto. This place caught our eyes in particular why you may ask? They have their ducks hanging out the window display which is usually what trips me and my husband!!! We also saw lots of locals enjoying their meals here!! So we decided ok that's it that's the one! Service: very quick and efficient.. It was pretty decent I'd say but not over the top friendly. They make you pay Cash only ** which is not the best when you travel they force you to go to their ATM machine if you have no cash. Pretty annoying to say the least. It's not cheap either came down to 60 $ ish for everything. Around 20$ per dish We obviously got some peeking duck and bbq pork To stay a lil healthy we also got some mixed vegetables. We mainly wanted Chop suey, I guess they misunderstood as they gave us a mixture of veggies and not much bean sprouts.. only complaint The chineese donuts where amazingly fresh, airy, and flakyy tasted exactly how I remembered from this one place in Montreal The duck 5+++++++ fresh and deelish it was soo tender and just ready to be devoured I enjoyed it so much definitely recommend!! The BBQ pork was good slightly overcooked but still tons of flavour .. maybe will skip the pork next time Overall, the duck was the highlight and that's what we came here for! Definitely worth trying the duck and the desert bread was SOOOO GOOD Id skip the pork and the veggies but that's your call Cheers

    Wonton noodles soup ($5.25)
    Sharon Y.

    Came here on a Saturday night and it was busy but we got a table for three without too much of a wait. I ordered a bowl of wonton noodles in soup, and I was impressed by how cheap it was (only a little more than $5). The noodles themselves are made in house, and they had a delightful springy texture. The wontons were delicate and full of big shrimp pieces and the broth was light and savoury. One of my companions got the braised beef noodle soup with rice noodles and that was really good, I'll probably try that next time. I also got the gailan (Chinese broccoli) and a bowl of pork liver congee paired with youtiao (fried dough stick), which were decent and also reasonably priced. Overall this place is no-frills and the prices are very cheap. Service is no-nonense, but they get the job done. It's not really a place you'd go to for impressing a date, but it's a place I'd recommend for a yummy bowl of noodles for a very good price.

    Unpretentious Hong Kong BBQ cafe with large prawn filled wontons, thick slices of juice BBQ pork (charsiu), and succulent roasted duck. My egg noodles were springy and broth was clear and tasty. The beef fried rice noodles were on the greasy and bland side. Cash only as with many of the cafes in this area. ATM machine inside located at the top of the stairs leading to the washrooms.

    I waited more than ten years to write a review for this place and am damn glad I got to come back. What made it special was that my friend was in town and taking him was perfect because of the amount of food they give you. The wait can be trying but they get you in and out if you order just the right amount of food. For this run, we had beef chow mein and chicken fried rice. My friend ordered Chicken Congee but it had too much ginger for my taste but I'm sure for anyone else, it's a true hit. I had Tsingtao for the first time in my life and this particular Chinese beer was clutch. The elevation of my choices worked out well for the night and already miss having food from there. I can't wait to bring someone special here and enjoy the busy yet fantastic experience that Chinatown as a whole can produce as this place does.

    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

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.

    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.

    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 boyfriend took me here for a birthday dinner and I could not have picked a better place myself…read more This place had incredible food and an amazing Hong-Kong diner ambience. We made a reservation for 5:15pm. This place is in a tucked away corner in Kensington market; you have to actually go in one of the stores and there's a long hallway that leads to the restaurant. This restaurant is quite hard to find by itself, but there was already a long line by the time we arrived (it opened at 5pm). Although my boyfriend said he was able to get a walk-in table a few weeks ago, I highly recommend getting a reservation prior. The inside has a quaint diner feel to it. We were seated on a long "bar" near the kitchen and it was nice to have a view of the cooking. One thing I noticed is that the lighting across the restaurant is quite dim, which made it a little hard to take pictures and also made me quite sleepy! We ordered the tasting menu which comprised 4 courses. We received a tofu amuse-bouche which was quite lovely. The first course was the bluefin tuna and the husband + wife beef, served with a side of rice. The beef was very well seasoned and a little spicy, which worked well with the rice. The tuna was nice as well. The real star of this course was the char siu donut, which had this amazing crisp exterior and a savoury pork filling. I did wish there was a little bit more filling, but the pastry and filling combo worked very well. The next course was a noddle dish, stuffed chicken wings, and grilled zucchini. I'm not a huge fan of zucchini but this one was nice enough. My favourite part was the chicken wings. It had so much flavour (the cilantro was a nice touch) and was quite substantial. I was using the noodles as a substitute for rice since the chicken wing flavour was quite intense, which was a good idea. The third course was the twice cooked pork, green beans, and fried rice. Although I thought this course was outshined by the other previous ones, it was still great. I particularly liked the seasoning of the pork (even though it was a little fatty for my taste). The fried rice was good and more of a muted flavour, which is good since it allowed the pork to shine. The last course, which was dessert, was actually my favourite. The french toast was amazing, one of the best desserts I've ever had in a restaurant. The sweet condensed milk sauce and the nutty toasty flavour of the black sesame french toast was an excellent combination. The ice cream had these corn chip bits that also elevated it. They put a candle on the side because it was my birthday! Overall, an amazing dinner. Usually, when I dine at these full course restaurants, the portions are too small and I leave feeling hungry still, but this was just the right amount of food. I highly recommend coming here if you want an elevated take on Chinese food, and you want great dessert.

    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.
