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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

Legit HK-style noodles - I'm lovin' it! This is Cantonese fast food but 10000x better. Seemingly simple 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. read more

There are a lot of choices in Chinatown. Small restaurant with many choices. Selected the Lobster special with fries noodles and I asked for beef garlic but I think I got the dish above that in the menu as it was spicy and beef garlic was not indicated as such. Beef was super tender though! read more

I've heard of King's Noodle and I may even have come here before, a long time ago. A friend who lives downtown suggested I meet him there for dinner and it sounded like a great idea. It was busy when we arrived, which is normal for this place, as I understand. We were lucky to get a table almost right away. It looks like the turnover rate is quick so nobody should have to wait long. They have literally hundreds of items on their menu! We could have spent a long time going through the menu but the BBQ meats hanging in the window at the front of the restaurant looked really good so we ordered a combo plate of BBQ duck and crispy roast pork, along with a beef chow mein. The food arrived quickly and steaming hot! The duck and pork looked really good. The chow mein had beef brisket, not the stir-fried beef that we imagined. We didn't specify but that's okay, we like brisket too. The food was delicious! Everything was cooked just right and full of flavour. Great texture on the crispy pork. Rich flavour on the duck. Tender brisket. Yummy! I wouldn't change anything. Great tasting food and fast service! read more
It's a good sign when the majority of the people eating at an Asian restaurant are Asian, which is the case at King Noodle. Perhaps their prime, Chinatown location is a major factor, but this place is busy every time I come. The food here is filling, cheap, and good, but the service here is pretty transactional and unforgiving. My go-tos are the roast pork (you'll see it hanging in the window on the way in), the fried rice, and any of their noodle soups. read more

Please see pictures 1 vs 2. 1. I came in telling them its my first time purchasing this myself and that my parents usually buys roast pork for me. This is what they gave me. These are the ends that nobody wants. It was all fat and dry pieces.Check all of the other photos. There are none that looks like this. 2. I got so pissed, I went back for another one. Do you see the substantial difference? It's crazy. I was the only customer there, so it's not like they were busy and overlooked it. Btw i had to pay for the 2nd too because theres noway i would eat the first one. Moral of the story: Check your food before you leave the establishment because they try to slide u crap. Even better, just don't buy stuff there. read more
Alright Andrew Zimmern, this place better be good! Prior to arriving in Toronto, I had bookmarked King's Noodle Restaurant because I caught it on Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations Toronto. We found it, came here for an early dinner, easily seated at a table for two and just beat out the dinner-rush crowd. + Dining + They had more than enough tables and chairs. Large round family tables in the center, seating for four dining on the sides. If there's anything I noticed, it was seeing someone wiping down tables or sweeping the floor. That's always a plus! ++ Dishes we ordered ++ #47 Barbecued Duck & BBQ Pork wonton noodle soup ($12.95). Oh man, this bowl had everything I ever wanted! The wontons were plump and hardy. The egg noodles were long and tasty. The duck and pork were cooked just right. All together in some savory broth and bok choy! Such a refreshing bowl I deeply inhaled! #7 Ginger Chicken (half @ $21.95), well this was the biggest mystery, as I know for a fact after investigating every delicious piece, they pretty much served us duck. This half chicken didn't have a huge breast, nor was the drumstick even fat. It was all lean, dark, and boney. But whether if it were duck or chicken, it was the ginger sauce/dip that made this dish! Every bite had to be dipped. The ginger was that good! #149 Rice Flour Roll with Donut ($3.95), how cheap! We tried this just because. I didn't mind the donut, but I wish it were shrimp. Oh well. It was still fun eating this. +++ Overall ++++ Now, I didn't exactly try their popular char siu dish they discussed on the show, but a sample of it in my soup was good enough. Same with the duck. The staff serving us was fine, no issue. Only the busy emotionless cashier lady gave me attitude while paying. Didn't know what I did. This would've been a four star review, but she killed it. Two turn offs, the 'cash only' factor. Which is really lame as they're on a major street. Second, again, it was that grumpy cashier lady. The food here was simply delectable. It made a lasting impression on how they do it in Chinatown Toronto! Even with the mediocre service, I would still totally go back! read more
Freezing night, stopped in as i felt for hot chinese wonton noodle soup. Got the roast pork and wonton noodle soup, $13. Totally hit the spot and then some. The portion is huge- the wontons are really good quality, pork and big piece of shrimp inside, tastes fresh and homemade, the roast pork was amazing, the skin was savoury and crunchy even though it was immersed in the soup, the bok choy cooked just perfect and crunchy, the noodles delicious and al dente. Amazing quality, must be one of the best in town. Super worthy pricing. read more
The surprisingly amazing thing about Toronto is that you can find delicious eats from all over the world right in this beautiful city. Toronto is just packed with restaurants, breweries and bars that feature all types of food, from the super casual to the exclusive fine-dining. If you watch the Travel Channel, you will probably know of the TV show: Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. From this show, there is an episode called "Toronto: Horse Heart and Flipper Pie." Here, he takes us to his food travels in Toronto, with one restaurant called King's Noodle Restaurant in the heart of Toronto's Chinatown. What's so special about this place? Just one thing: ROAST PORK. Right when you walk in, you will find a Chinese chef to your right preparing unlimited bowls of their exclusive famous dish, the one most ordered for: roast pork and wonton noodle in soup. There is a constant stream of people walking in and out, either ordering take-out or doing a quick sit-and-dine to wolf down this dish! My friend and i literally slurped this take-out in our rental car right outside of the "return spot." Yes, we were that pressed for time, but that didn't stop us from trying this dish. Even as take-out, it's better than nothing right? And you know what? It was unbelievable...... The noodles were thin and cooked perfectly al dente to give it that firmness that every thin noodle needs for that perfect texture to chew on. The roast pork had that perfect 1cm surface of crispy and crunchy skin to contrast with the intensely soft and chewy layer of fat that was still attached right on. I did not feel unhealthy to eat this. This tasted way too good, like a little piece of heaven packed right in this take-out box. How amazing is that?! The bok choy was soft yet firm at the same time. The broth was amazingly savory and just added on packs of comforting juicy flavors to the roast pork. This is one of those noodle soup dishes where I try to eat and drink at the same time! You just got to. Chew on the roast pork and some noodles and slurp on some savory broth at the same time so that each chew on the pork releases dense flavors onto the broth for you to swallow. AHHHH.. This was heaven in a take-out box (an hour later). Pros: -very fast and speedy service, but hey! you get your food faster! -everything is made fresh on the spot, you can watch them if you want to! -DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS FOOD Cons: -can be a long wait during the weekends, but that's not their fault -parking may be difficult, try to find street parking and walk a bit or opt for a parking lot -small restaurant with limited tables so must come early! read more
King's Noodle is one of my favourite restaurants in Chinatown for BBQ meats. They're actually one of the only ones to offer BBQ chicken wings too. The flavour and pricing are also very good. I do believe their prices are jacked up with delivery couriers like UberEats, so I'd just go pick up since I'm only 10-15 minutes away. read more
I know this place has been around for decades yet this is my first time here. They are located on the busy corner of Spadina and Dundas with a big yellow sign. My wife and I came here probably just before their lunch rush on a Tuesday around 11:40 am and we were told to pick any table. It really is cool because they have 2 kitchens here one is located in the rear of the establishment for the big dishes to be prepared, the second kitchen is the one up front against the windows where they prepare most of the Congee and small snacks. On the opposite side is where the magic happens the BBQ meats hanging under the heat lamps the chef is busy here chopping non stop for take away customers and dine in customers. I really loved their BBQ meats here A+ stuff. My wife and I ordered 4 dishes and they came out fast and the noodle was full of "Wok Hei". I ordered a large size Hot and Sour Soup, 3 kinds of BBQ meat rice dish, Spicy Fried Noodles with Pork and Shrimp, and Beef Offals. If you come here the BBQ meats is a must order the roast pork skin is so crunchy and flavourful, the BBQ pork ( char siu ) was good but I found it to be slightly dry but could be the piece I had. The ducks was good not fatty yet fat enough because it is duck. The Hot and Sour soup we ordered it extra hot and extra sour which was perfect, it came in a large bowl with plenty of ingredients inside very good soup. We also ordered the Spicy fried noodles with pork and shrimp this is made with the yellow noodles that are used to make chow mein, The spice level is good super spicy so if you want you can add some more chili oil to it, good amount of noodles as well very good "wok hei". The beef offals are marinated very well each piece was full of flavour and they also give you a fair amount of veggie and not lettuce they use Chinese gai lan. Service is not bad typical Chinese restaurant service it's good but it's not great. I think this is my new go to for a quick hearty meal. Fei Jai Out! read more

Quick and no frills service. Packed with people on weekday evening. I was expecting a lot more Chinese customers, but most of the sit down customers are non-Asian and to-go customers are Asian. Ordered the most basic cha siu pork wonton noodle soup. Nothing too special. The soup is flavoured, but nothing worth remembering. Good volume for the price, around 14 dollars after tax. Will keep on trying the different options around the area next time I'm around. read more
This restaurant is constantly busy with customer lining up to get a table. They are known for their great noodle bowls and also their in house BBQ meats. Most of their soup noodle bowls are less than $10 each, which is really value for people looking for a fast, cheap meal, which explains the huge lineup everyday. I ordered the BBQ duck with flat rice noodle and got served within 10mins. The BBQ duck as ok, but I would have liked it more if it had more flavour or sauce on it. The noodle was soft and smooth and it didn't break easily. The soup was pretty good as well, didn't taste like it had a lot of MSG which was good. Would come again if I'm in the area looking for a cheap eat. The waiters were pretty impatient, typical of many restaurants in the Chinatown area. However, the cashier was straight up rude when you try to ask her something. Since this place is cash only and I was given exact change when I paid for the meal, I just kept all the change because their attitude was pretty awful. read more

The good. **** Meats hung on their window is what's good here. Soy Sauce chicken. Roast duck sweet char siu pork ( red colored BBQ pork) stew beef and beef tendons spleen tripe and hearts. 4 stars bc noodles soup and won ton was ordinary. The bad * They tack on tax and tip on your bill if they feel you're a foreigner and disguise it as just. tax ! We almost tipped them additional. The ugly. Minus 5 stars We ordered in Chinese !!!! read more
A friend raved that this is her favourite restaurant in Chinatown, so i was looking forward to trying this place out. It's a mid sized restaurant and there were a decent amount of diners there, but we were able to get seated immediately even though we were in total 6 people. The restaurant was cleaned. It's not a fancy place but one where you expect no frills and delicious authentic Chinese food. I ordered wonton bbq duck soup noodles for just under $11. The order came quickly. It was decent sized soup noodles. What was surprising was that the wontons were nice and big!!!! The flavour of the soup was a bit bland. I had to add extra pepper and a bit of chilli to give it a kick. We paid individually and tips were already added into the total. Not that the service was bad, but i really wish they left the tips to us to decide. read more
Heard a lot of good things about this place, but I'm starting to doubt if my sources are reliable . King's Noodles seems pretty far from even being rated as decent. The food alright, but nothing to rave about. However, service and hygiene are certainly their most shocking traits. The only way to get service is by putting your hands up, or standing up to attract attention. NOTE: *Cash Only* The restaurant looks pretty clean from outside, but don't get fooled. As we sat next to the kitchen, I saw one of the cockroach from Men In Black. I got worried cuz Will Smith wasn't there. Plus, the waitress caught it like a pro; it wasn't her 1st rodeo for sure. Toronto has way better restaurants. Maybe check out Swatow across the street! read more

I liked the food variety and food presentation. Service experience could be a lot better. I understand the language barrier and that many of the servers don't have English as their 1st language, but the servers's proficiency of working English in matters of Table Waiting and Order Taking could have met a certain acceptable standard. Other than the communication gap, nothing else makes this place stand out with all the other Chinese restaurants along Spadina. read more
I came to this place every time my family paid a visit to Toronto. And even now as an adult I always have King's Noodle on my itinerary even if I am only in Toronto for a few hours. Great hours they open as early as 9 am and stay open until 1 am. Nice and Clean there has definitely been a remodel since the last time I have been here. It's usually a little noisy but that's to be expected considering the popularity of the restaurant. There's always a pretty mixed crowd every time I come here. During peak hours you may find yourself sharing a table but I feel like that is apart of the restaurant's charm. Plus this allowed us to be seated immediately, I was hungry and I really needed the BBQ Duck in my life so I don't complain. The staff is actually pretty friendly but they focus on SEATING and SPEED more than anything. You won't find a server hovering over you asking you if everything is ok every 5 seconds (I hate that anyway, let me eat my food dammit) so if you need something just get someone's attention they will be right over. They have a great extensive menu so there is sure to be something on the menu to please everyone. I see they use peanut sauce for quite a few dishes so look out for that in the description if you're allergic * I got the BBQ Duck Dry Noodle Plate $9.95 (comes with soup and veggies). The noodles were seasoned well. The broth is very savory you'll find yourself slurping every last drop even if you aren't a soup person. As for the bbq duck, the skin was nice & crispy the actual meat was tender, flavorful and juicy...prepared to perfection. Our bill was pretty cheap roughly was $33 (my boyfriend ordered the BBQ Duck & Wonton dry noodle plate and we also split some spring rolls). Once your done grab your bill and pay at the front counter but make sure you have cash they don't accept cards! Although they do have an ATM inside that has a $3.00 service fee. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the area. It is indeed my go-to for BBQ Duck, BBQ Pork, noodles, and fried dough sticks. read more
Found my new favourite place to come for rice rolls, congee and BBQ pork now! This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem located on the busy street of Chinatown! It's a great place to come with any time with any amount of people, because they have lots of seating available and super large menu variety. My friend took my to this place try out their super popular marinated roasted bbq pork rice bowl and rice roll~ they were just simply soooo delicious! The sweet sauce from the tender bbq pork mix super well the gene pies rice, you would want to keep eating more and more because it's so good. We ordered the "dish" size to share between 2 people, but also comes in a single serving "bowl" size as well. Also loved the super soft thin rice flour skin of roll that wrapped around a crisp deep fried donut, it's one of my new fave actually! You won't regret ordering it, cuz you can also see every table at least order one of these rice rolls. They also have choices of BBQ pork, or shrimp or other flavour or rice rolls that are super neat too! These rice rolls are already garnished with some green onions and small shrimps, and a sweet sauce, but I like dipping it with soy sauce as well! We were surprised that 1 portion of the rice roll comes in 3 super stomach filling rolls! The service is very quick, reasonable price, large generous portions, great menu choices, definitely gonna come back again and again I think :) BBQ Pork Rice - $7.95 (dish size) Rice Flour Roll with Donut - $3.95 read more

Heard this was one of the best restaurants in chinatown so had to give it a try. We came around 11am on a sunday and it was pretty empty at first but was getting busy by the time we left. We ordered bbq pork and bbq duck over rice. I was disappointed how little the portion was. We also got the seafood combination soup size small and it was pretty good as well but the temperature was luke warm. The spicy pan fried noodles was delicious too but kind of on the oily side. The bathroom here was horrendous. And cash only of course but there's an atm inside. read more
