50 Best Chinese Restaurants in North York

“very nice place for rice rolls and congee. everything was very delicious and very authentic. I highly recommend this place“

“Goods price before 3 pm 🫨“

“I haven’t really properly eat here, I just mostly got stuff for take out, I ordered the popcorn chicken and lamb skewers, both of them are amazing, the popcorn chicken is probably or if not the best popcorn chicken I’ve had, and the lamb skewers are by far the best I’ve ever had for sure.“

“The food is very good, especially the Mao Du Gong dishes. It is very suitable for gathering with friends. The waiters Lily, Brandy and Hazel have perfect service. They helped us set the table and paid careful attention to our needs. They took the initiative to get the tableware for us.“

“Jimmy, our friend from Pittsburgh, USA told us about this place. He read about it on a Chinese community group chat and is determined to eat here when he gets to visit Toronto. He said the food is authentic from his hometown in Anhui, China. He is missing real Chinese food.

We have eaten here twice. Service is friendly and thoughtful. My 92 yo mom loves the wide soup noodles (their signature dish). I like the rice noodles with sour beans.

Washrooms are clean but they are downstairs in the basement.“

“Went with some friends and family. Ordered 5 dishes. Im not a person that can handle to much spicy but their 3 peppers wasn't that spicy at all. I would say go with the recommendation from the server . Everything he told us to order was amazing. We decided to order one thing that he did not mention and that ended up being a salty dish that was our least favorite. Overall great experience, the restaurant is very cute with painted walls of seafood and the service was amazing.“

“Great atmosphere and good food. Service ppl were courteous. They don't take reservations so be prepared for a good lineup on weekends. Highly recommend the grilled chicken cartilage!“

“They only take reservations for a party of 6 or more. We arrived at 5pm on a Saturday. There were only a few tables available.

2 hours for dining. Great service and the staff are friendly and attentive. 10% off if you pay by cash.

You can choose the level of spice, which is great for someone like me, who can't take any spice. lol

The meat is tender and flavourful. Highly recommend the garlic with eggplants, lamb, beef hearts, and the fried milk custard.

Would definitely return.“

“Came here twice a year apart and the pan fried baos were still jaw droppingly good. Crispy bottom without being burnt, meat and soup filling has a deep flavour that is sweet and fragrant aroma and not overly salty!
Duck vermicelli is very light flavour but hearty enough.“

“Nice and Convenience place. Good foods. Best Asia food shop in town.

Pricing at Bridge Ribs is reasonable, especially consideringthe quality and portion sizes. It’s slightly higher than a typical fast food chain, but given the fresh ingredients and the authenticity of the flavors, it’s well worth it.“

“I haven’t had a 10 out of 10 meal at a restaurant for a very long time. Friendly and welcoming service. Freshly prepared delicious homemade food. I was told even the chicken soup was not pre-made!! The complimentary tea is fragrant and soothing. The decor shows the artistic side of the owner and his attention to details. This hidden gem deserves all its 5-star reviews.“

“We visited this place in a Saturday evening. The pork knuckle with rice is real good. Highly recommended. I always dreamed of having this dish in Longjiang, China but didn’t get a chance. Fortunately this place is a small gem on Yonge. This restaurant is small but looks like the owner tried hard to make the interior look similar to what you might find in Guangdong. Such as the plastic seats and foldable tables. There are other Chinese places in Toronto pretending that they have the same dish, but they are all kinda fake after I came here.“

“Looking for a place to have barbecue at night? Zaomenkan is a good place in Toronto. Each type of barbecue tastes different. They all have the taste they should have. The spiciness is moderate, the chicken rack portion is large, and the service attitude is good! Recommended: semi-strong beef, beef tendon, squid tentacles, bread 🍞
The noodles given to me for my birthday are delicious!
Sitting here, I realized that the store is owned by Sun Yizhou~“

“I went in Mr Fish in a late night!
Personally I liked the food I ordered. But I won’t say it’s the best fish restaurant I’ve tried. Mind you, I’ve tried quite a number, so I’m picky 😋 my friend didn’t like as much.

When I came in, there was a couple there. When I left, a few groups came in the restaurant. Mr. Fish is moderate in size so it won’t allow several big groups. I liked the decorations and cute setup. Customer service is great. Staff is polite and when I packed, server gave this adorable bag. Takeout package is great too.

In the dishes ordered, I liked their beef dish and cheese (or yam) balls. The fish wasn’t the best but it was alright.

If you pay cash, you will get 10% discount 😉parking can be tricky.“

“This spot is my go-to for solid HK-style comfort food. The kitchen moves fast, the food hits every time, and the prices are super affordable.

I’m obsessed with the steamed rice in lotus leaf. Whether you go with beef or pork ribs, it always comes out hot, fragrant, and cozy. Total comfort dish. The pineapple bun is another great pick— crunchy on the outside, pillowy inside, with just the right hint of sweetness. I love pairing it with something savoury like satay beef. Sweet, salty, soft, crunchy— it checks every box.

For dessert, I never skip the steamed egg pudding. It’s silky, light, and not too sweet. The only miss for me was the beef and egg macaroni in coconut tomato soup— the tomato base was too acidic and overpowering.

The cafe itself is small, but the service is quick and efficient. Even when there’s a wait, you won’t be standing around for long. Worth it every time.“

“we got the cream shrimp, tangsuyuk, jjamppong, white jjamppong, and jjajjangmyeon! i especially loved the jjajjangmyeon and cream shrimp, the flavours were just like the ones in korea. i really love the smokey taste of the jjamppong and it also has tons of seafood. despite it being really affordable they definitely didn’t slack on the food quality and quantity!“

“The presentation of the dishes, the quantity and the taste were fabulous. The house was full on today's (Saturday) late lunchtime when we arrived. But we were seated shortly because of the 3-4 diligent young servers. We would like to thank Owen specially for his helpfulness and kindness so that we had a happy lunch!
We ordered deep fried spicy tofu which was just right for my palate to handle. The wrap of the beef steamed dumplings, or baos was thin with sufficient juice inside which is as good as the famous Chinese restaurant in First Markham Place. Last of all, the pork wonton in chicken soup was yummy too! Forgot to say the price was very affordable! Bonus!
I definitely will bring my family there in the near future. Hopefully we are going to see Owen again!“

“The taste is very good, but the price is a bit expensive. I feel that there are very few types of side dishes, only plates of large dishes. It is a bit difficult to order food alone, so the store can consider adding some side dishes or half dishes.“

“Really good noodles! And they give you noodle refills! My daughter at almost 3 bowls of noodles! Noodles come in a super heated bowl and piping hot! I burned my tongue but it was so good!

I had a super spicy lamb and it was delicious! Also the clams were delicious and I don’t know what sauce that was on it but it was so good!

Can’t remember what else we tried but the whole family enjoyed it. Would go again!“

“Authentic Chongqing cuisine — one of my favorite Sichuan restaurants in Toronto. The dining environment is clean, prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and the flavors are spot on with no artificial gimmicks. The Chongqing noodles, dan dan noodles, sausage fried rice, buns, and various styles of pork intestine dishes are all my favorites. They also offer a variety of live fish dishes, but it’s best to let them know in advance.“

“My parents live in the area so when I was younger I would come here to get some Chinese food. I always remembered that they had the best chicken wings. Recently came back again to try it and it still tastes the same so yummy crunchy delicious! I ordered some party platters and they were a hit! And the owners are super super nice! You could tell they care about customer service. The guy helped me carry the food to my car he absolutely did not have to and he did not hesitate to help. Who does that nowadays? Anyway Thank you China Wok until next time! Definitely run don’t walk and order your catering needs! Wish I had photos but they got devoured before I even had a chance to take a photo.“

“很好吃😋服務員人也很好👌“

“I came here once of dinner and once for dim sum. I find that dinner service was very good. The lady serving us that evening was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious; we ordered 8 dishes for the 5 of us to share, and we did not even make a dent hahaha... they portions are very big, and we took the rest of the food home. Highly recommend coming here for dinner :)

Dim sum was just madness - it was very busy on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30pm, with lots of people standing at the front door. I actually don't like loud and crowded space; we couldn't even speak at the table with just the 4 of us. My voice was completely gone after that. I do not recommend coming here for dim sum, not because the food wasn't good, it was just WAY too loud.

Parking: There are more parking spots up the ramp on the 2nd floor“

“Oct2024: third visit, and fond of the beef dry noodles, extra spicy and crispy pork bun. The special, marinated pork belly on rice with a braised egg is good too.

Have tried several of the side dishes and liked all of them: three delicacies in tofu, tofu with preserved egg, kelp salad, wood fungus salad, spicy beef tripe, crispy bun with pork and siu mai.

The noodles and sides are a good size serving for single diners. I think a noodle dish plus one side would be filling for most diners.

Rice noodles are also offered if you don't want wheat based noodles.

They also have lunch specials between 11:30am-3:30pm.

Seating is limited and austere, but service and food was excellent.

Not many places offer dry noodles and I thought this version was quite good and a decent serving size, will be back.

Vegetarian options: There are tofu dishes, vegetable dishes and dry noodle dishes made without meat.

The dry noodles sauce is made without meat or animal products and ingredients are listed in the menu: sesame paste, cilantro, green onion, sour green bean, dried radish.

Parking: Plenty of free parking, the restaurant is located in an office building surrounded by a parking lot.“

“Excellent Chinese restaurant, great atmosphere and delicious food, especially Lanzhou beef noodles. My girlfriend and I often lunch her, and because of the pandemic, we are now ordering delivery. Very fast, tasty and not expensive. ps. You should definitely try fried noodles, chunks of lamb, and barbecue skewers.“

“Pretty good place. I like it because it feels more friendly and less fancy than Congee Queen. The food is very similar, I think it’s the same company. A new special menu just came out - with innovative dishes like special mushrooms, rice noodle roll with beef and truffle flavour. Good job to the chefs for creating new dishes!

The prices are still Ok, they’ve gone up a lot since the pandemic but it’s still affordable for me. I have come here with many friends and the food is consistently fresh and tasty. Thank you Congee Wong, you make my life so much better. However, I find the servers a bit slow or inattentive at times but that might be because I eat alone often, during off peak hours. They have a great deal between 3-5 pm weekdays where there’s a special menu and you get either a HK milk tea, lemon tea, or red bean with ice cream drink free. I think people get the red bean with ice cream a lot in that weekday afternoon special. It’s very worth it. Everything else is fine.“

“10/5 stars! Our most favorite Restaurant is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! The duck with pineapple is my favorite dish - it's love at first bite!The food is always delicious and fresh and the service is exceptional. Highly recommend!!!!We so lucky to find this absolutely gem in our neighborhood !!! Absolutely love it! Convenient location and super friendly atmosphere!“

“One of my favourite places for delicious food and a great vibe! Their service is quick and friendly, the food is consistently delicious and they host special events (comedy nights, karaoke, weekend parties, etc.). One of my favourite unexpected pleasures. Highly recommend!“

“I visited this morning but the store is replaced with a new restaurant. The aunties and uncles have served freshly made 豆腐脑 and 包子 for decades. I remember going there since high school. I’ll always remember them and the food. Not sure if they moved or decide to take a break ???.“

“Been here a couple of times before and have always loved their Peking duck. This time I took my whole family and had a feast. Food was great, not as oily as other restaurants. A little bit pricier but worth the spurge. Would come back again.“

“I don't eat regular burger, but Bingz burger is completely different and I would go back for more🤗“

“Nothing but great things to say. If you want some hot spicy soup on a cold day? This is the spot. Most places have semi-spicy soup, but if you want a challenge, this is your spot. The braised chicken is beautiful tender and flavourful. With the price, they do not cheap out on the serving size. With each bite I took it didn’t feel like the dish was shrinking but rather growing with how much meat they gave!! This review is not based off of one visit either. Every time I’ve eaten here it’s been nothing but consistent.“

“Ordered grilled fish with mild spice, but it wasn’t spicy at all. The fish was very good—tender and with few bones.

The dish was served at room temperature, so it needed to be heated before eating for the best experience. After the meal, I felt very thirsty, possibly due to the seasoning being a bit salty.“

“?Pan Pan Noodle Bar offers a great deal with a bowl, a side, and a drink for under $16! ?Their signature dish is the pan-fried noodles, but my personal favorite is their burning noodles.You can choose your own toppings? and spice level—I recommend the braised tofu, minced pork, and beef brisket, which are surprisingly tender and juicy.Other must-tries include ?the beef skewers (tender and meaty with a slight fatty taste), the saliva chicken (spicy but not overwhelming) and the crispy and juicy chicken cartilage!Thankyou? @panpan_noodle_bar? @innisophotos?

“They have really good fried rice. I got the shrimp fried rice with Chicken on top. They specialize in Chinese Caribbean fusion. The Guyanese style chicken fried rice is also really good. There is even one called the amigo fried rice which is pretty popular. I've been going to this place for over 20 years and there's a reason why they've lasted this long.“

“Food 5/5
Service 4/5
Vibe 3/5

OG OG Chinese restaurant near Bayview and Finch. Literally a very old skl vibe Chinese reso.

Service people may say it’s bad, but as a Chinese place, i rate it very good😂 yes they rush you, but it’s been like that since I can remember~ (so be prepared)

I loved their salted fish chicken fried rice and bitter melon with fried beef. Very flavorful. Also, their fried squid is to die for!! So flavorful and so perfect for another bowl of rice.

Also, all dinner order comes with soup, which is also greatly appreciated.

Overall 4/5!“

“This the best food in the world. The best customer service. I always be treated like a queen here“

“Pag tapos ng mahabang meeting tapos itong mang Tomas lechon Ang kinain namen Grabe sobrang solid Ang Sarap mula sa balat hanggabg sa laman Malasa sulit talaga Ang pera mo and yung mga big boss na kasama namen sa meeting Sarap na Sarap lahat Hindi kame napahiya sa pagkain na ni serve namen sakanila 7am sya na deliver samen at 10am namen nakain pero lahat ng balat sobrang lutong talaga good job mang Tomas lechon 💯💯💯💯 #mangtomas“

“I am very happy as a first-time customer. Hubby and I found this restaurant on our way home between Scarborough and Mississauga. Got 2 Cantonese chow mein dishes which were good and a lot cheaper than our local Chinese restaurant place. Too bad this place is too far to order to where I live, but I will keep this place in mind if I'm/we are in the area again“

“Happened to be in the area and decided to get a bite nearby. Very happy I decided to come here! We got the Fresh Ground Pork Bao Pork Shaomai. The sizes are Huge!!! And so well made. Very reasonable in pricing and the lady that works the front is very sweet and happy. Very amazing atmosphere, I can feel the authenticity.“

“Of the 2 Chinese Food places in the mall, this is clearly the better one.Portions are large, meats are good cuts, everything is seasoned well and quality is so much better than the other one in the mall. I go here often and always get the student special (only $3.99! ) Or large combo for $6.99. you get a lot for your money here!“

“老板，老板娘们服务好好.. 食物好吃.. 棒棒哒.. 👍👍“

“Just ordered via UrberEat - good portion and flavour, clean presentation which are the important 3 elements for take out. Some dishes are on promotion and they didn’t cheap out on the portion which shows good business sense (I will never order again from places that do that). Son, the Canadian born likes the Chicken Leg lunch and I enjoy more authentic dishes - it’s rare to find a restaurant we all enjoy so will order again!“

“The food here is super reasonably priced and tasty. The rice rolls (not pictured below) had a great texture and were a good portion for the price. The two casseroles we got were filling and hit the spot for a no fuss meal. The casseroles take 20 minutes after ordering to arrive. The place only accepts debit and cash.“

“We have been ordering from them for years and they have never disappointed. Last night we tried something new, the Cantonese Beef #31 and it was amazing. The chicken wings are amazing, the dishes are always full of meat and veg. The veggies are always fresh and cooked to perfection.“

“Who doesn't know SG in the Thornhill and North York area??? This place has been around for at least 25 years+ and still going strong. I have been a regular customer even though I don't get to go that often anymore everytime I ordered for takeout or dine in there are always busy especially during the weekends. The food is awesome. I love my crispy ginger chicken white meat extra spicy please 🔥🔥🔥. Shredded chilli chicken dry and hakka noodles with everything on it chicken shrimps and BBQ pork. Keep up the great job SG!!! Oh yeah the delivery service is very fast If you are hungry and too lazy call SG and you will get your food quickly nice and hot.“

“Hands down the best hot and sour soup and wonton soup in all of Toronto“

“Went to this restaurant after missing their other location at STC which closed a few years ago.
It’s located in a mall near Yorkmills and Leslie and parking in the evening was easy.
The interior is beautiful nice ambiance lighting - wooden fixtures. Nice tables.
I booked for a party of 10 and the management accommodated.
It wasn’t busy when I went which I wondered I could see a few take out orders being done.
So a couple of things. Sunday their hours close at 8- I booked my reservations at 7 and asked the restaurant if they close at 8 should I move up my reservation- they said no they close at 9.
Well sadly they still closed at 8 and we were rushed on our dinner…
We ordered 2 set meals and some dim sum.
With some confusion we only received the meal for 1 set order and the dim sum we ordered the 2nd set order didn’t come.
When we asked they said the kitchen closed and they were sure we already got the food.
I was worried I would have to argue about the missing meal but the manager was nice and credited it from the final bill.
The food was not as good as I remember from STC. The dim sum sizes were small. The dishes were ok but lacked flavour. As we go to other authentic Chinese restaurants in Toronto I felt it wasn’t that great for the price. Probably caters to Canadian palettes.
The staff was super friendly and responsive bringing out dishes water napkins etc.
they never asked us about tea which was too bad.
We were celebrating a birthday and they let us bring the cake and brought it out at the end with the lights off which was nice.
Other than the mix up food and being rushed out it was nice.“

“Love that there is one of these Hong Kong style cafes within Fairview Mall. The space is a bit tight but very clean and bright. Service was good and fairly accommodating. The milk tea was flavourful and silky. I had the instant noodles with chicken and ginger scallion oil. Not sure if it was because I was hungry but it tasted really good! I'm knocking off one star as the prices are a little bit high for this style of dining, but I also understand that the rent is probably very high at the mall.

Parking: Parking at this end of the mall can be a pain. If you don't mind walking a bit, there are lots of other spots at other mall entrances.“
