Hello fellow foodies I stopped by this Chinese takeout place close to my place for there lunch…read morespecial since there reviews were decent . Let's start with the food review Food 4/5 I was very impressed with the portion size for only $9.75 , it was a huge portion as mater of fact I had lunch and dinner with this portion size and i was full .I was also impressed with the quality for the most part , the meat was in generous large chunks unlike most Chinese places, I think there was a full chicken breast in my platter and good large chunks of pork with minimum breading .The lemon chicken was cooked perfectly in a very tasty lemon sauce . The sweet and sour pork was my only complaint hence not a higher score it was nice large size pieces but seemed it was over fried and it was hard to chew but the sweet and sour sauce was amazing , the chicken fried rice was cooked to perfection and seasoned really nicely , the perfect amount of moisture and not oily . If the pork was not overcooked it would of been perfection. Service 3/5 very typical Chinese service , I am giving this place a 3 only because the service should of been better but very typical of Asian service I waited almost 20 minutes for my food hence the lower score that is my only real concern with this place other then that the food was pretty impressive Chinese cuisine.

Upon reviewing what fellow yelpers thought of this place, I figured today's the day! And this place did not disappoint. The selection of food is big, there's something for everybody, noodle dishes, rice dishes with chicken, pork, beef ...everything is there. Lunch specials are amazing too. I had a beef noodle dish for just over $7 and the portions are big. I can eat a lot but after the lunch I was completely stuffed. This lunch was so good, I had to go back that evening to order dinner for the whole family. Between the mother in law, wife and myself and three kids, we had a feast of wonderful noodle and rice dishes for just over $30. This place is amazing and I could only recommend it. This sure won't be my last time i was here.

Overall, I was hoping that the buns at this place would be above average especially given the…read moreratings and reviews however, I was really disappointed. I tried out types of buns. Specifically I tried the specialty and seafood bun. I found them to be quite average tasting. The bun wasn't really the soft texture I was looking for and the filling tasted pretty bland. As this place specialized in their steamed buns, I had much higher expectations for their flavours. Especially located in the core Chinatown area, you can find better buns at other places such as the bakeries nearby. Unfortunately, I would not revisit again.

Gou Bu Li traces its history back to 1858 in Tianjin (a major coastal metropolis in Northern…read moreChina), the place where one of China's most famous baozi (steamed buns) brands originated. The brand since then has expanded into restaurants across mainland China and now globally. This downtown location is right beside Dragon City Mall. The entrance has its own storefront on Spadina Avenue (not from inside the mall) - just a few steps away from the Spadina streetcar stop and there is a Green P parking across the street. The interior is more upscale and has a bit of a luxurious feel and decor compared to the other Chinese restaurants in Chinatown area. Although the inside is not as big as most other Chinese restaurants in the suburbs, their food quality and taste are comparable to the good Chinese restaurants found in uptown and the suburbs (including Richmond Hill, Markham, and Scarborough), at more affordable price. In fact, I think the food quality and dishes that you get at Gou Bu Li are level steps above those in nearby Chinese restaurants (in downtown and Chinatown). They're best known for their baozi (steamed buns), and I could see why! I tried the one with eggs, chives, and vermicelli filling (only one of two vegetarian / non-meat bao options in the menu). The filling was tasty, and it had a decent amount of filling-to-dough ratio. Much better than the baos you get at T&T or elsewhere. The dough had a nice, soft, and pillowy texture. You can order sets of 4 or 8 baos. In addition to the steamed baos, they also offer xiao long bao (soup dumplings) and various Northeastern Chinese specialties such as jianbin (savoury crepes). In addition to the pretty good baozi, I also found their other main dishes to be excellent - especially the live / seasonal fish and seafood. We had a whole fish (either grouper or sea bass) and lobster - both were pretty massive. The steamed fish was done very nicely with subtle soy sauce flavour and some scallions. Steamed lobster with garlic came with heaps of toasted garlic and a bed of vermicelli, garnished with little bits of bell peppers and green onion. The lobster came out already de-shelled and cut up nicely (but still served on the shell for nice presentation), making it very easy to eat (no need to use hands at all - the lobster meat came off the shells easily). They even took out the tomalley and served it nicely on the cut up shells. Snow pea leaves with garlic was a classic and our go-to green vegetable dish in most Chinese restaurants, and this was no different. It was as expected. House Special Fried Rice with Flying Fish Roe came in a big portion with a good amount of big shrimps, peas, carrots, corn, and topped with a generous amount of flying fish roe. We got complimentary dessert of Donkey Rolls ("Rice Rolls with Red Bean Paste" on the menu). Donkey Roll (known in Chinese as Lüdagun or "Rolling Donkey") is a traditional Northern Chinese dessert made of steamed, sticky glutinous rice dough, rolled around a sweet red bean paste filling, and dusted with roasted soybean or sesame flour, resembling a donkey rolling in the dust. I like this dessert because it's not too sweet and makes a good snack, especially when paired with tea.

We got seated right next to the entrance and I pointed at an table in the back because entrance can be chilly and the waiter told me we can't go there because someone booked it. Sure so we sat down, then the people right behind us told the waiter no reservations but they gOt seated at the table NOT AVAILABLE TO US? IM Asian they aren't, I can't even imagine if that's the real reason we have to stuck in the cold seat. Also when we ordereed their dessert, the other waiter told us there is one left and he will keep it for us. Then 5 minutes later, the same person who seated us, came back to us and told us "dessert sold out", I told him we were promised to have the last one this is ridiculous, he told me "I don't know but it's sold out". Not apology, straight up rude. TBH I was going to show my friends Chinese food but when they have to witness those bad service this is just sad. Their food is okay, u can find it everywhere. BUt who has the mood to taste the food after being treated like that? Never ever will go back. If u r the owner of the restaurant and u r reading this, please hire someone who actually treats everyone equally and who keeps their promises. Otherwise good luckk keeping ur restaurant in business with that not so exceptional flavors and extremely bad service.

It took a while, but Hunan Fine Food finally opened the past two weeks at First Markham Place,…read morereplacing Van's BBQ which closed down around the middle of last year. As a little background of Hunan-style food, Hunan is a province in around the south-central area of China. They're known for their spicy kick to everyday Chinese food, and it shows with the selection of foods they have available on their menu. This food stall had a lamb skewer special which attracted me. I forgot the price cost but I know it was cheaper than the Kashmiri BBQ stall across the other end of the food court (something like 7 for $10). The skewers had the traditional Hunan spice attached to it, although it didn't really feel spicy at all. The skewers were also good, but of course nothing compared to Kashmiri (you get what you paid for). The lamb is thicker here, but drier. I haven't tried the other items yet, but seeing it's a new place there's lots of time to see how this place would pan out.

I like mildly spicy food, and I am definitely a fan of the sour and spicy combination, which is offered by Hunan Fine Food. I was intrigued by the picture, so I ordered the Spicy Leek Dumplings ($5) and added an order of noodle for $1, making it a dumpling soup noodle. The real thing looked worse than the picture. It reflected a home style cooking. The dumplings seemed store bought. The filling was pork and leek alright. The broth was the star of this item. It was spicy and had heat (to me). It was tasty as well. I think I could take a notch more heat, but this level worked just fine for summer. The portion of the noodle was good. It was not al dente, but this was the natural characteristics of the type of the noodle Hunan uses. There are some really interesting menu items as shown in the pictures, such as Hunan beer duck, spicy and sour noodle, etc. I think I will return to try out more.

After being seated, we were then introduced to our server, whom asked if we wanted any drinks. We decided on a water each, then preceded to the buffet where we began with the meat carving station. We were impressed with how many food items were available, and how delicious they all tasted. I loved how all of the items were hot (temperature-wise), with items being replaced quickly once the trays were emptied. Once we had finished our meal, we had asked for the bill however, it did take some time to arrive, as it was quite busy in the restaurant. We were also given a calander for the next calander year, which we thought was a nice touch. All in all, we enjoyed our experience here, as the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was inviting. The price was a tad high however, considering the amount of food that we received, it was well worth it!

In general, the sushi was quite good, there may have been a bit too much rice, but the sushi rice was done well and had good flavour. Be careful, as all the sushi, rolls and handrolls are on the larger end for AYCE sizing. The presentation of the sushi was quite good for a normal AYCE location. It appears that all the sushi was prepared by one chef, so fortunately it was not busy when we were there. The seafood salad had a lot of promise, but the pepper taste was too strong and some of the seafood was still very cold. Hand rolls and nigiri sushi were neatly formed, though they had quite a bit of rice. I liked the tamago, it is made in-store and not in a factory. The karaage is highly recommended, but the salmon teriyaki came out slightly overcooked. The deep fried scallop and pork cutlet are also recommended.
