Cantonese Restaurants near North York, ON

“Took my dog for a walk around the neighborhood a few days ago and stopped in here since they let us sit on the little patio out front with him. The staff brought out a water bowl without even being asked, which honestly won me over before the food did. We got the salt and pepper shrimp and it was crispy and fresh, way better than I expected for a casual spot. Parking was easy too, and it's clear they genuinely welcome families with pets, not just tolerate them.“

“This is probably one of my favorite clay pot rice places. I was initially unhappy with the takeout but dining in is definitely a whole other experience. I came at around 6 and it wasn’t as full then but not long after, more people started showing up and this place fills up fast. I got the chicken and preserved meat with double meat and I promise, getting double meat is well worth it. It’s so deeply savory and filling and I was easily able to have leftovers for the following day. The crispy rice adds such great texture and the chicken is unbelievably tender. Will happily go back and get the eel rice again with double meat this time.“

“Got 3 BBQ meat with rice for delivery. Impressed with the taste, quality, and price. It had the just the right traditional taste. Not too salty or msg like lotsa places these days. We got steamed chicken, roast duck, and roast pork. It was delivery but some of the roast pork skin was still crispy. The duck wasn't soaked in goey sauce like some places. The chicken came with yummy ginger onion sauce on top. The rice wasn't the best but was good and not mushy... and it came with a few pieces of broccoli. Only downside was we got many fatty pieces of roast pork so couldn't eat those. Will definitely try dine-in soon.“

“We’ve been coming here for over a decade and it’s def one of my favourite HK style / Cantonese restaurants in the GTA!

Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner are all solid and quality options!! The ladies that run the place are super friendly and nice! Highly recommend!

My favourites are their Satay Beef Noodles in Soup! The portions are also very generous!

Come with a crowd of 5-6 for the dinner combo and it’s perfect! You get soup, rice, dishes and dessert!“

“FISH SIU MAI is definitely the BEST item on their menu, that you can never have this taste at any other shop! Please do try the fresh corn drink as well!! Another highlight is their canton pop playlist, it really hit my heart! :) You would have an enjoyable cozy dining moment here if you come here after 10pm“

“First time we went to this store that serves chasiu pork (BBQ pork), roast pork, roast duck, roast chicken and soy sauce chicken, etc. for take out only. We tried what another customer recommended and got chasiu and roast pork. They are all very delicious and the roast pork is crispy. Will be back again when I am in the area.“

“Coming soon this summer yeahh !!“

“Absolutely loved my experience at The Big Brother! The food quality is outstanding—every dish is packed with flavor and clearly made with care. You can really taste the authenticity of their Shunde-style Cantonese cuisine, especially in their signature dishes like the black bean stew duck and roasted pork ribs.

The menu offers a great variety, from comforting soups to beautifully prepared seafood and wok-fried classics, making it perfect whether you're dining with family or hosting a group.

Service was warm and attentive, and the restaurant itself is clean, bright, and welcoming. It’s clear the team takes pride in both the food and the overall dining experience.
If you’re looking for high-quality Cantonese cuisine in Richmond Hill, this place is definitely worth visiting. I’ll be coming back again for sure!“

“Spacious and clean restaurant, with efficient and friendly service. Very good Cantonese food, I especially liked the Rice Noodle Rolls and Blood Pudding with Chives Soup.

It also shares the space with Big Beef Bowl, and several of our friends had recommended their hand-pulled noodles, so we also ordered a beef noodle soup as well. The noodles had a nice chewy texture, and the broth was rich and flavorful.

Overall, it's definitely a restaurant I would recommend to friends.“

“Very good“

“Amazing. Fresh super busy food doesn’t sit long. The crispy ginger chicken is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. I’m surprised the owner recognizes me as I’ve only been 3 times. This was the first place I ate at outside my house for 3 years we didn’t because of Covid. Now I go every Friday. It’s a hidden gem and a must try. Be careful you may get addicted.“

“We love the food, and we also come here for large meals with friends. They're always wonderful.“

“I wish I had tried Tender Trap earlier, but will definitely order from them again. Excellent. Delicious food and quality ingredients. One of the dishes I ordered was beef and broccoli. I could not believe the size of the dish and the amount of beef. Mostly beef but with a good portion on broccoli. You don't usually get that.
Everything I ordered was very good. The only problem was the Cantonese Chow Mein. It looked delicious. Lovely large pink shrimp, but unfortunately I have a seafood allergy. That was on me for not reading the menue properly.
Keep up the good work guys!“

“I got bbq pork and bbq duck rice dish. I would give duck 7 and and pork 8.5. It would have been higher if it was hotter but meat came warm and rice hot. The lady wasn’t rude just not talkative. The server had cool red hair and was nice. Would try again“

“Your soups taste just like the ones my mom makes, so comforting and amazing! My mom hasn’t been in Toronto lately, so no one’s been making soup for me. I had a terrible cough recently, with that “razor blade throat” feeling (those who know, know 😭😭). Thankfully, your soups saved me!!!“

“we went to Wok Theory restaurant to taste something different from our daily meals. As expected, taste were unsimliar to our day to day taste. About the service, it was outstanding and the servers made us feel more comfortable. if anyone wants to experience some new taste, we strongly recommend to visit here .“

“If you love kwetiaw you have to come here and try the fried rice noodle. Just incredible, I had the fried rice noodle and the wonton Lo Mein. The portion was crazy, more than enough for a big eater like me. I was surprised by how much food I would get in my plate especially for the very reasonable price. Now this is what I call a hidden gem. 10/10 will come back again.“

“You could almost call this a lobster specialty restaurant, with so many lobster dishes and set options to choose from. We ordered the ginger and scallion lobster, and it was incredibly fresh and reasonably priced.

We also tried the shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, beef tripe, century egg and pork congee, and fried rice. Everything was delicious! What impressed me most was that the food was fresh and not overly salty, which is a huge plus. The service was also excellent and very friendly.

I’ll definitely come back here the next time I’m in Toronto!“

“Yummy food and great service“

“Stir fried beef chow fun on the right (乾炒牛河) and fried egg noodle with beef and seasonal vegetables on the left (時菜牛肉炒麵). BOTH together for only $17.00 ($8-$9 each) taxes included AND complimentary drink (chrysanthemum tea/soy milk) OR soup of the day. This is value town. Prices cannot be beat, especially in this economy. Not only is it economical, it rivals if not exceeds sit down restaurant quality and taste. Both ladies working the register are very pleasant to deal with. Highly recommended. One of my go-to Chinese take-out spots!“

“For the first time today at Hey Noodles, I had spicy food! Warm up! The service attitude is very kind, and food is delicious! I like my fruit tea too, Have wonderful dinner ！ 今天第一次在 Hey Noodles 嘿小面，吃辣辣！暖暖身！服務態度非常親切，好吃又好喝！水果茶也好喜歡，美好的一天！“

“Honestly, HANDS DOWN the best Chinese food in the city. The lobster has texture and is flavourful (no rank). The bbq duck fried rice has a smoky flavour that is just one of a kind. The beef tenderloin is crispy and juicy (hard to believe that it’s not work pork by how amazing it was). The bartenders made several authentic drinks that were the cherry on top of this experience. This place is an absolute MUST try!!“

“Came here quite a few times over the years and the quality was consistently good. Not the best Chinese BBQ I ever had but solid and reliable, especially for food court. Roasted pork was very good; Char Siu sometimes not the best cut but flavour is good and not overly salty. The small mixed(2 kinds) platter(pictured)is $12.99 and cheaper than at the supermarket and way better. They had long lineups but worth it.“

“Excellent clay pot rice and Cheung Fun. Good value.

Service is okay. Don’t expect warm and friendly. The wait staff is respectful and patient which is good enough for me.

We were there Saturday around 5 pm so plenty of tables available. Expect to wait (about 10 minutes) for a table after 6 pm.“

“Amazing clay pot rice. First time here and will be coming back for sure. Get the eel clay pot rice deal, also ordered ribs with bitter melon in black sauce in a hot pot. Extremely delicious for both. Crust kn the clay pot was very tasty. Overall very authentic experience & dining atmosphere.“

“come here when i crave hk cafe food, i love their iced lemon tea for a dollar extra when you order with them, combo i think? i always order the signature baked chicken on rice with tomato sauce, which a drink comes with it but hot. the portion is good, usually feeds me twice for 14.50. plus the drink is iced so 15.5. great value for what you get!
no tax if you pay cash (not sure if they take card)
foodcourt has lots of space“

“Had a wonderful experience at Steamy! The name says it all—the food came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was on point. I also have to give a huge shoutout to Iris, who took such great care of us. She was incredibly welcoming, checked in on us regularly, and offered great recommendations. It's rare to find service that matches the quality of the food, but Iris made it happen. Highly recommend Steamy for anyone craving a comforting, satisfying meal!“

“When I was working at Guangdong TV station more than 30 years ago, I often went to the nearby "Dake" food stall to eat. Stir-fried beef rice noodles, hand-pulled rice rolls, chicken rice porridge, braised pig intestines, cold melon beef, etc. were all must-haves for us. Called Xiaodian. Unexpectedly, a "Dake" porridge, noodle and porridge shop opened in Toronto many years ago. The store's hand-pulled rice rolls have thin, tender skin, and the porridge is made with authentic ingredients, full of flavor, and is reasonably priced. Worth recommending.“

“The food was great. I would go back to try more food on the menu. There are tremendous amount of choices of foods to choose from their menu. Although the food was great, personally I felt like the Hong Kong coffee was slightly watered down (just my opinion). It would be nice if the staff were organized in a better manner. It just seemed like everyone was everywhere and we’re literally raising our hands and saying “excuse me” to start our orders.“

“I could honestly write so much about this place! The food is absolutely amazing, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I’ve been here a million times, and the food has never disappointed me. Everything is consistently delicious, and the quality is always there. Definitely one of those places I can keep coming back to without getting tired of it. 🤍
Highly recommend!“

“Excellent reasonably-priced fresh seafood 😋“

“Gourmet Kitchen is tucked away in the corner food court at the Silver Star plaza. Got the lo mai fan (Cantonese sticky rice) and it was so flavourful!! Rice was well made and there was a very good variety and portion of toppings. Their service is fast and meals even come with a drink. Remember to bring cash!“

“Comida y servicio de primera“

“Lady owner was super friendly. Bbq rice meals were tasty and very reasonably priced and she gave us free homemade soup that was very flavorful. Decided to try their soya sauce chicken leg as it was freshly cooked and recommended by owner. She even told us to reheat day after using a steamer and boy was it great tasting. Probably best soya sauce chicken I ever had. Fantastic hole in the wall bbq place!“

“A REAL Hakka restaurant! I almost pokai when I found this place thinking that no way this is real.
Yep, it is real and is not the Indian Hakka that we always see!!!!

Stuffed peppers and tofu was really yummy!
Had the lo bak and it was nice.
Salt baked chicken was delicious!

I will come back.“

“味道口感都很不错，太爱辣“

“Lobster Port is by far the best seafood restaurant I have eaten at. It beats Jumbo Lobster in food variety, food quality, services and seating arrangement.
The dim sum and streamed fish were prepared just right. They put fried small fish with their lobster mountain, as opposed to using French fries, I like that a lot, because it made the dish a lot more tasty and upscale.
Service was excellent.... One person in our group arrived late, and we had saved some food for her; when she arrived, the waitress offered to heat up her food. A very nice gesture.
I highly recommend the restaurant.“

“Nice environment, good quality food and services. Reasonable price.“

“I discovered this hidden gem via Uber-Jeets during the Plan-demic.

Their Combos for 1 are fantastic & great value.

-Wonton w/ Pork slices soup never disappoints. (One of my to to)
-Sliced BBQ Pork makes a great addition to any dish.
-Shanghai Noodles and the Singapore rice noodles are outstanding!!!
-Chicken pan fried dumplings fills that craving
-Egg rolls are great.
This is my go-to take out Chinese food spot.“

“I have frequented this restaurant thru the years and it always hits the spot. Very reasonably priced with a variety of options. Dishes are made to order. Best thing about this place is the clay pots are geared to individual consumption and each person can order their own separate clay pot with their personally chosen ingredients. Asides from ingredients, one can further customize by asking for glutinous instead of regular rice and the level of crispness! I asked for half regular/half glutinous rice and extra crispy bottom! Meal comes with soup and veggies on the side. Soup can be swapped out for a can of pop at no additional charge! (Scarborough location). This place is a hidden gem and truly value for money.“

“Can’t ask for more than this. Location is Richmond Hill with service. Lunch combo is under $10, serving up portions that make the price feel like a steal — quality that holds its own, no corners cut. This is the kind of value you can afford daily.“

“Wanted to try a new restaurant for Dimsum. Came here during brunch rush around 11ish had to wait a bit for our table. Hostess at the front was very kind and friendly, the servers were very fast and efficient. Food was good not oily which was a huge factor for us. The food was good and flavorful. No complaints.
Will definitely be back !!“

“If you're craving authentic, comforting Cantonese food, this spot delivers! The stir-fry dishes are packed with traditional flavor, and the portions are wonderfully generous. Everything from the classic combo meals to the fresh vegetable and meat dishes hits all the right notes with great wok-cooked taste. Quick takeout service and excellent value make it a go-to for a satisfying meal!“
