Food: Peking duck - pretty standard fare, can't complain. Duck meat is juicy with a nice crispy skin. The wrappers were pretty thin but hold up against the meat, veges and sauce. Sweet and sour pork - crispy deep fried pork chunks in a sweet and tangy sauce. Lettuce wraps - fresh lettuce with good savory minced meat and veges. Add some sweet sauce and it's a delicious dish. Snow pea sprouts - cooked well with a good savory sauce. Overall, a pretty good place for a Chinese meal without breaking true bank.

The interior was decent. Baked BBQ pork bun was very light & puffy. The interior was very tasty: rich & meaty, with a nice crisp exterior. Century egg pork porridge had a light flavour & was quite smooth. It was huge. Glutinous rice with preserved meat was the first time I'd seen this dish come unwrapped. It was so so. Har gao was decent. Siu mai was pretty good: plump & juicy. Steamed bean curd roll had very bouncy mushroom. It was very light tasting. Custard bun was pretty good: light & tasty, but the first time the custard did not flow. The second time it had crispy bits & more flowing. Chee cheong fun with prawn had a lot of big prawns. It was pretty smooth & there was some token vegetables.  The version with beef was decent. Steamed short ribs with taro were good: plump, juicy & tasty. Fried bean curd with shrimp & chive was good: bouncy, juicy, crispy & tasty. Pan fried fish cake was decent. It was quite tasty & reasonably bouncy but could have less flour. It had shrimp inside.

There was also a 9.99 special for different rice dishes which was a great deal and even available on the weekend!

There…read morewere not a lot of other diners present at Deer Garden when we went in for dinner on a Wednesday evening at around 8:20. It was just us and 2 other tables. We were told by the server that the last call to order was at 8:30 PM. We ordered the Laksa seafood noodle in chicken broth and the Hainanese chicken rice noodle in chicken broth. Both were good but I have had better experiences elsewhere. I do not know of a lot of places in Toronto serving Laksa so this was an OK experience to be able to have it again. The Laksa's broth could be thicker and creamier. I would also wanted it to have more of the coconut taste, but I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that it may be a regional variant of the dish. At least it has lot of variety in its toppings. The other dish we tried was the Hainanese chicken noodle soup. We had it in this configuration for a change. I must say that Hainanese chicken is better paired with rice. There are 2 dips that came with it. The ginger dip was a little lacking. I find it lacking flavour and fails to properly enhance the taste of the Hainanese chicken. The chicken broth also came off a little too salty on first taste. What was redeeming was that dish orders came with a free choice of beverage. We paired our orders with Almond milk & Chocolate milk. Both dishes's serving size were also huge. We had to take them both to-go. Right after we were served our orders the waitress came by us and subtly implied that we already pay for the food because they were already closing shop soon. I was surprised by this because I am always used to paying at the end and have always understood this to be the expectation. I still paid the bill in cash and gave a slightly higher percentage for tip because that is just how the cash amount conveniently rounds up to.

But this time, we wanted to try out other kitchens in the food court and decided on Gourmet Kitchen. We ordered stir fried veggie dish (lotus root, wood ear mushroom and broccoli), home style vermicelli and mapo tofu to accompany our BBQ meal. The flavours of the vermicelli and the veggies were superb! Both dishes were mildly seasoned without being too oily, which was a welcome change. Great wok-hei on both dishes as well! The mapo tofu was tasty, but wasn't spicy enough for me. I prefer the version without Sichuan peppercorn, so that was a plus. I would happily try out their combos next time.

My go-to dish is always the e-fu noodle w/ minced pork and eggplant. Saucy, slightly spicy and slurpy. Delish. I usually pair it together w/ cold milk tea, zero sugar. Absolutely hits the spot on NFL sundays. Sometimes the chef will have an off day because sometimes the noodles come out a lil dry and not as saucy. I find it hard to complain though ... cuz of that price and the fat portions. Definitely not the nicest aunties working the restaurant when you walk in. You actually get death stares from several of em but if you speak cantonese and you're ordering takeout you'll be fine LOL. 3.5/5 stars (as the food quality is a mixed bag on some days) but I'll round up to 4 stars since the lunch price and portion size is sensational.

The food is pretty decent and the portions are more than fair. The most attractive thing is the price. Lunch special starting at $8.85 a dish with a drink included, you absolutely cannot complain. I mean, this is pricing from like 2013. What more do you want? Now the only thing people do complain about this place, is the service. Good service does not exist here (mostly). As I said earlier, they are pretty traditional. If you've been to some more local restaurants in HK, you'd understand. Yes there will be some old Chinese ladies yelling at each other. Yes, their attitude can be bad at times when they are super busy. But for $8.85 and a drink? I think I can live without the "good" service and pay $15-$20/dish. All in all I'd give them 4.5/5.

But the menu is very much HK cafe with a focus on the soup noodles. Other than the location in Richmond Hill, there is also a location in Scarborough, downtown Bay Street and one in North York? The Richmond Hill location is at Times Square and is pretty big. They are know for their soup noodles but we ordered from the regular menu. What was ordered: Pork Chop on rice with egg, onions and mushrooms Chicken Curry Dishes come with your choice of hot drink or cold with an extra charge. This is very no frills style, you don't get water or tea when you are seated, only the drink that comes with your meal. The chicken curry is a bowl of curry sauce with a fried chicken fillet on the side and a scoop of mixed veggies (corn, peas and carrots). Pork cutlet is a deep fried thin pork cutlet with onions, mushrooms on a bowl of rice and soy sauce served on the side. Flavours were very much meh but prices were on the higher side for what you get compared to other similar style establishments. Definitely better options out there.

I found this place on Reddit after searching for over an hour for a reasonably priced, all you can…read moreeat hotpot place with a large selection. I've had my fair share of hotpot across North America- mainly shabu (Japanese hotpot), with Kim Tao being my first Chinese hotpot experience- and it did NOT disappoint. For starters, this place is HUGE. They have enough space for small parties, larger parties, and even banquets. Surprisingly no wait despite some surrounding hotpot places having over a 3 hour wait. If you really wanted to be secure and reserve a table, you can do it via Google reservations or call them. The menu was surprisingly extensive- there are so many options to choose from and were appropriately portioned so that way you don't over order. Two meats I would personally avoid would be the ox tongue and beef shank as they were pretty tough and didn't taste the best but everything else was really good. My brother and I tried most items on the menu and our favorite proteins were salmon, shrimp balls, tripe, sliced chicken, and marinated beef. Get the mango sago!! It's the perfect palate cleanser and tastes like fresh mangoes. Phillip, our main server, did an awesome job. He was friendly, super helpful, and quick to turn around my brother and I's back to back orders (lol). All of the other staff who occasionally took care of our table also did a great job keeping us clean and well stocked. Despite being relatively busy, service was lightning fast. I will note though, that if you're the type of person who prefers to be sweet talked or indulge in conversation with your server from time to time, this is not the kind of place for that, lol. Nothing wrong with this at all but I'd describe their hospitality as "Hong Kong style" where it's rather sharp and direct which I actually really like. This place implements auto gratuity of 15% which is totally okay with us.

Each pot was for 3 people and each pot holds two soups. Service 4/5 Food 4/5 (I don't have a lot of experience with hotpot) Ambience 3.75/5 We had a great time eating and catching up. The pros are: AYCE The condiments were delivered to the room and set up on a separate table in our room The appetizers were also delivered and set up on a second separate table in our room Service was efficient and the servers often came around to top up the broths. Cons: The restaurant allows only one person to place all the food orders and refills. Our group problem solved this requirement but it made it a lot of work for one guest. Favourites: Fried sticky rice Fresh made fishballs Steamed stuffed egg plant Tons of veggie options Desserts Karaoke is available in the VIP room. The songs selection in English was limited with fewer new songs. Parking is available right outside restaurant in the plaza. The restaurant is open to 1:00am.

The shrimp toast was rich and indulgent, yet it never felt overly greasy. The beef chow fun had incredible wok hei and great flavor. We only wished the noodles weren't as broken, but it was still one of the best versions we've had. We'll definitely be back to try their duck special if the rest of the menu is this good!
