One waitress and owner himself serving at dinner time on Sunday. The quality of food is consistent and worth the price. The usual dish I order everytime is pork belly that hangs on a cute wooden stack. There's a new menu item this time that we came around, which is the seafood mixed plate. It comes in three different sizes. We ordered the medium size that came with so much food, all of us felt like we came out of dinner from a seafood all you can eat experience.

The use of peppercorn is spared, the emphasis are more on sour and spicy... sugar seldom used in the cooking process... so don't expect any sweet and sour item on the menu. The waitress here speak Mandarin and really helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Shredded Potato Salad ($5.99) - Potato crispy and fresh... but lacking the spicy kick as compare to other places I been to Shaanxi Cold Steamed Noodle ($2.99) - The Noodle are the thicker and wider versions - again not spicy enough... and this is supposed to be a 2 chili dish - the dried tofu puffs has a really interesting texture... which I enjoyed Beef Noodles with Lanzhou Style Soup ($5.99) - The soup based is clear broth but has good flavours... - noodles though not hand pulled which is $1 extra has this nice, chewy texture and without that doughy taste.. - Beef is more like the preserved type... dried and chewy not the melt in the mouth tender - good value for the money! The portion is huge!! Note, the waitress recommended some of the Soup Filled Buns which is their specialities, might have to try those out... They are reasonable priced $4/6 but for 2 of us... if we ate 3 of those buns, we cannot eat anything else! No Lunch Specials but they are have 10% off Grand Opening discount!

Bold street-style Szechuan food that's certainly not for the feint of heart…read more Nian Yi Kuai Zi is a Chinese restaurant known for intense spicy dishes in the "Jianghu" rebel spirit. The dark interior decor here set the mood of being in an ancient village. Each table & bench stall was filled when we visited for dinner with a youthful Asian crowd. Despite the wait, this was a good sign for an authentic group meal. We ordered a four dishes including a soup, two intensely spicy dishes and a sweet & sour pork which went down well with big bowls of rice. Their Szechuan boiled beef with bean sprouts ($27.99) came in a huge bowl of spicy aromatic red chili oil that helped enhance flavours of the poached beef strips. Shredded eel with green peppers ($29.99) was stir-fried in loads of chilli & peppercorns along with extremely hot long green peppers. Eel was nicely deboned but it's not a dish everyone can handle. To balance the meal, the large bowl of tomato egg drop soup ($13.99) was a simple yet nice reset between bites of the heavier dishes. Sweet & sour crispy pork strips ($23.99) had a pleasant crunch and the familiar tang that we all liked. This place is worth the hype. The portions were generous and fair for the menu prices and ordering multiple dishes to share was ideal. Service was prompt and frequently came to refill our water pitcher with a new one as we doused our spice-tingled tongues with water. There are many restaurants in this plaza making for a busy parking lot but this spot is one of the busiest. Skip it or hit it? Hit it if you're craving intense Szechuan flavours and can handle the heat.

Miss Qu BBQ in Scarborough's Milliken neighbourhood announces itself with quiet confidence: a…read moreChinese barbecue house that does the work so its guests need not. Unlike the hands-on interactive grills fashionable elsewhere, here the kitchen tends the coals, and diners are freed to settle into conversation, raise a glass, and simply receive. The seasoning is the soul of the operation. Skewers arrive fragrant with cumin, chilli, and a practised hand that understands restraint as well as heat. Spice levels are accommodating, making the menu genuinely inclusive without diluting the kitchen's personality. Beyond the skewers, the broader menu leans into Sichuan sensibility, with portions calibrated for sharing: generous, intentional, best appreciated with company. Service is warm and unhurried. The staff carry a friendliness that feels sincere rather than scripted, and guests consistently leave in better spirits than when they arrived. The room itself has energy, drawing crowds even on midweek evenings, and the kitchen keeps pace admirably, turning out dishes with commendable speed. For those planning a visit: exercise some restraint when ordering. Portions are substantial, and the temptation to over-order is real. Worth noting, too, that the kitchen operates until 2 a.m., making Miss Qu a rare and welcome option for late-night dining of genuine quality. A lively, flavourful destination that earns its following.

We tried a bunch of different skewers and every single one had a great balance of spice and seasoning. It can get a little salty, but honestly that's just part of the flavor profile with this kind of food. To balance it out, we ordered the sauerkraut soup, and it was the perfect palate cleanser light, tangy, and refreshing after all the rich and spicy dishes. Service was fast and efficient, which was appreciated since the place gets busy fast, especially during dinner. The ambiance is casual, great for grabbing a quick snack with friends or sitting down for a meal with a big family.

Our…read moreclients took us here as we were the out of towners and wanted to show us the OG spot for the famous lobster tower. The restaurant was surrounded in tanks full of lobster, crab, seafood and then a ton of dry aged steaks. Definitely something you don't see in California. Clean and spacious. Service was what you would expect from a Chinese seafood restaurant. Overall the meal was good, for me and a few others at the table the star of the show was actually the fish. The lobster while impressive when they brought it out was not as flavorful as one would have expected. And same with the king crab legs - my favorite have been the ones I've had in SF. Was interesting to come and experience it but I wouldn't come back. I prefer quality food over an IG-moment.

Fishman Lobster Clubhouse Restaurant on Finch Avenue East in Scarborough serves an unforgettable…read moreseafood feast, though you will need plenty of patience. The establishment is famous for its iconic, towering mountains of deep-fried Hong Kong-style lobster and giant Alaskan king crabs.Without a doubt, the food is exceptional. The seafood is extraordinarily fresh--pulled straight from massive surrounding glass tanks--and prepared to absolute perfection with their signature Maggi sauce and garlic toppings. However, the major downside here is the notoriously slow and chaotic service. Due to the massive crowds, servers can be hard to flag down, orders take a long time to arrive, and the staff often feels rushed or inattentive. Despite the frustrating wait times and subpar service, the spectacular flavors and theatrical presentation make it a worthwhile destination for patient seafood lovers.Watch the massive lobster towers being prepared and served fresh at this iconic spot

It feels like a small mom-and-pop business with efficient service and food that hits the spot!

But I really liked the atmosphere. Although it's small, it's bright and there's plenty of sun coming through. We ordered a few dishes and all were tasty. I enjoyed all of them. The fried dumplings were delicious but you have to be careful when you eat them. They are so juicy that it sprays out when you bite into them. My friend warned me about this, but it still happened anyway. The best dish had to be the chili oil noodles. I really liked the texture, width and flavours involved. There was just enough of a spicy kick without it overpowering the noodles and other flavours. I will definitely come back to have this again. Overall, I don't have anything to negative say about this restaurant. Delicious food, nice atmosphere and friendly and fast service. Prices are also reasonable too.

Really unassuming Chinese bun spot, but really amazing!…read more The prices are super cheap, but their quality is really good! It seems a lot of people tend to come here for takeout, as you don't see a lot of people dining in. Admittedly, it doesn't look like the most pleasant seating experience, but I think it's still doable. You might struggle to communicate if you don't speak Mandarin, but it's definitely doable. We got the pan fried buns, beef and carrot steamed bun, pork and shrimp steamed bun, wontons, and fresh tofu pudding. The pan fried buns are really juicy Their steamed buns are nice and fluffy. You really got to question the difference between these and the ones you can get in grocery stores, but it's so cheap I don't think it really matters. Their wontons are pretty standard. They have a nice thin skin and plenty of filling. The star of the show has to be the fresh tofu pudding! It's really nice and savory with nice, soft, and jiggly tofu. I definitely recommend you trying this! This is a great place to grab a bun or 2 for a snack, or to enjoy some lovely tofu! I'll definitely be coming back!
