Delicious Chinese food in southern Scarborough.
Andrew L.

Chinese/Southeast Asian food in southern Scarborough. Don't be fooled by its name. It is not related to the chain Phoenix Restaurants in Markham or western Scarborough. I'll give it 4 stars because the cost is affordable but I had better Southeast Asian food elsewhere

Onion pancake
Elise R.

You will not be disappointed if you try this place out. I have to admit I am a bit of a regular here, but that is mostly because it is cheap and delicious. While I am there it seems that everyone else who walks in the place is also a regular. This place is so good it keeps people coming back. While there are lots of things to gloat about, one of the highlights is definitely the service. The waiter is always the same. He is awesome with a great memory and will remember what you ordered to events in your life (if you care to share them with him). While this is an ethnic place, with authentic food you can find something for everyone. I come from a large family and even my little picky-eatting brother likes the food here. Some of my personal recommendations are: 1 - Crispy beef for the meat lovers 2 - Okra and potato for the veggie lovers 3 - Manchurian sauce and any of the dishes that come with it. 4 - Onion pancakes - they are great to share as an appetizer. Other great things about this place: 1 - Cleanliness 2 - The dishes are made from fresh ingredients. Even the filling in the spring rolls was cut up the same day you eat it. 3 - Parking is available 4 - It is on Kingston Rd, so it is easy to get to. 5 - The guava candy that you get at the end is yummy. 6 - You can get take-out. Hope you enjoy this place as much as I do.

Veggie with tofu
Ondre A.

Let me start off by saying that the reviews and the score of this restaurant is HIGHLY overrated. Came here with four friends thinking that it would be a really good place but once the plates landed on our table I had a little chuckle and thought I was in for a treat. We ordered the mango salad, garden salad, egg roll, Manchurian beef, stir fry beef ho-fan, salt and pepper beef, chilli chicken, salt and pepper deep fried squid, veggie fried rice and a vegetarian delight tofu dish. So the food came in a timely manner and the service was good. The mango salad was really good as well as the chilli chicken but any of the beef dishes didn't taste well. The beef was really really chewy felt awful cause all I wanted was to stop chewing. The tofu dish wasn't good just got it to go and chucked it lol. The squid was decent but overall not the best Hakka Chinese food at all. Wouldn't go back again as I have a roster full of much better "Shitty Chinese" food places.

Beef with Snow Peas and Fresh Mushrooms
John G.

I will start by qualifying this review and saying that this is a popular local Pan-Asian take out food spot with dishes in the $10 price range. Those looking for authentic, high end Asian cuisine - look elsewhere. Those looking for value and decent food, read on. Strangely, considering how many times I've eaten here, I never reviewed it before. This last trip was with the family, so 6 of us took a table inside as opposed to doing the takeout thing. The menu has options ranging from forms of Chinese to Thai and Hakka, so it has many bases covered. The food is pretty good for the price, which is why there are so many return customers. If you eat in, the service is efficient, though not the most friendly, as the guy serving is taking the phone orders and also lending a hand in the kitchen. I have lots of regular dishes, but i like to mix it up with something new every time. I've been here so many times I've almost tasted the entire menu. If I had to pick my favourite it would probably be the Prawn with Lobster Sauce - they use unusually large prawns for a dish at $15. Like everyone else in the neighbourhood, I'll be back!

Mmmmm. Wonton soup and cucumber salad at Phoenix.
Katie L.

I was on the way home from the airport and was so hungry and craving noodles, soup and veggies. Searched "Asian" on here and found this place had good reviews. They were so right. The service was friendly, the place was clean and warm (the staff member shut the door to the outside as I chose a seat right beside the door). The wonton soup came first and it came quick, it was perfectly heated and tasted very good. Then The cucumber salad came and it was equally perfect. I was able to eat half and bring half home with me. Then, the perfect amount of time later, my pad Thai came and it was delicious. I ate half and brought that home too. All for $25 including tip. I wish I lived closer and this would be my go to place. Unfortunately in bowmanville we have nothing like this. I will totally recommend this place and hop to go back. Maybe the next time I'm visiting my parents in Scarborough.

Okra, potato under vegetarian section, tasty!

Very nice restaurant, simple and quite, affordable price, tasty food, friendly staff.Overall it's a good restaurant. Food is served right away. Good customer service! Highly recommended!

Custom made vegetarian schezwan hakka noodles, very flavorful and lots of broccoli.

Chopfire - Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($39.95)

Chopfire

(6 reviews)

Chinatown, Downtown Core

The modern, stylish interior immediately caught my eye and I couldn't resist taking a few photos…read morewith friends. Every shot looked like a magazine spread. We went at lunchtime but ended up having a full dinner. The meat and seafood were fresh and plentiful. My favorites were the cowboy ribs, mustard octopus, cold noodles, and the roasted pineapple at the end, so juicy and sweet. We finished with coffee pudding and caramel pudding and the coffee pudding was surprisingly delicious. If you love BBQ, this place is a must try. I really hope they open a spot closer to Markham.

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.

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

Big mistake to eat there, I told him at least three different times that I needed the food cooked…read morevery very soft. Took them three times taking it back and cooking it more. You can only pay cash which is strange. I've never seen that anywhere else. The Bill had five dollars added. I couldn't understand why the bill was so high then I found out that they decided to add the tip to the bill before they gave it to me, but didn't tell me, so I could've paid the tip twice and not known it. We will never set foot in this place again. I am forced to give it one star it deserves none.

Mott 32 - Xiao long bao

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.

Finally back for dim sum…read more First off, they need to fix their reservation system. Don't accept 1:45pm reservations if the dining room closes at 2pm. 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. Will be back but just occasionally.
