50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Scarborough

“We visited this Chinese restaurant a few days ago and really enjoyed the food. The flavors were great, and the service was excellent. Jackson there took the time to walk us through the menu and gave helpful recommendations. Since we were dining with children, he thoughtfully suggested which dishes could be made non-spicy. Their attentiveness and consideration made our experience very pleasant. We would definitely come back.“

“Amazing food and big portion!🤤“

“Food/sauce is very flavorful, atmosphere is great and you can watch him making the noodles. What’s not to like?? Oh yeah and the cat robot that delivered our appetizers was awesome! We’re here at noon on a Monday and I can’t believe this place isn’t packed; with this delicious food it should be. We’re on vacation but I wish they had one in Charleston! Two thumbs way up!!“

“excellent food , service and staff. My friends and I were served by Miss Grace Zhou again this afternoon. It is my friends first visits, and they really enjoys the food and the loved services from Grace and everyone. We are planning to come back again already“

“Hotopia Scarborough is a gem! While it’s known more for its Sichuan cuisine and Mala Dry Pots than traditional hot pot, the flavors here are absolutely incredible and authentic.
I highly recommend trying the Sichuan Style Bullfrog Pot—the meat was so tender and the chili seasoning had a real, satisfying kick (you can adjust the spice level!). The appetizers were also great; don't skip the Scrambled Eggs and Tomatoes, which are unexpectedly rich and comforting.
Beyond the delicious food, the service is truly a highlight. The staff is incredibly attentive, friendly, and quick. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, making it perfect for a casual dinner or a celebration. If you're looking for flavorful, authentic Sichuan food in a great environment, Hotopia is a must-visit!“

“It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming. The staff, Tommy , who is very polite and warm welcome customers. Great place for friends gathering and chatting. Definitely will go again.“

“I can't say enough good things about this place! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The owner is so friendly and clearly cares about the customers and the food. And the food...oh my goodness, the food! Every dish was bursting with flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. I've tried a lot of Asian restaurants, but this one is definitely at the top of my list. Everything was so delicious, I'm already planning my next visit. If you're looking for an amazing meal and a great atmosphere, you HAVE to try this place!“

“Good price for a AYCE. They have a good variety, a lot of seafood. Lobster, clams, shrimp, snails. The broth is delicious and service is good. I would come back, nice spot to chill and eat and they don’t rush you out after a certain time, you can take your time and enjoy the food!“

“I live across the street from this place and have been coming here for ten years. They haven't failed me once. They've seen me at every holiday, after every exam, and every personal win worth celebrating. Their food is nostalgic and comforting to me now, and it always reminds me of home. I dread the day I have to move because I don't want to be far away from here. If you're visiting, please give wok and fortune a try.“

“Great selections of foods!!!“

“We are delighted to discover this authentic Chinese snacks and dumplings place in Scarborough today. We especially enjoyed their dumplings, wontons and cucumber salad. The restaurant is tiny and very clean. The nice couple who owns this place is friendly. The husband/chef has decades of experience under his belt cooking Lu cuisine (One of the Four Great Traditions of Chinese cuisines) in Shandong Province of China.“

“A hidden hole in the wall gem in a fairly unknown plaza that has some awesome liangpi noodles.

The liangpi noodles is my go to for this spot. The noodles with the sesame sauce and the chili oil was so tasty.

I also got the rougamo beef and a lamb one. The meat was alright, but the bun had a dry texture and left an aftertaste. Not sure if it was just me, but I would stick with the noodles which they have several options for.

Service, on point. I did speak Cantonese to the lady working and she was fantastic recommending items and informing me how long things would take and if she had to step away while I was deciding.

This place is a takeout place so there aren’t any seats available.

Parking is only a few spots, but for the size of plaza and the shops there, it’s enough.

Great job overall“

“很好吃😋服務員人也很好👌“

“Food 5/5
Service 5/5
Vibe 5/5

New Restaurant on pharmacy and mcnicoll in scarborough/toronto. I think the store originally was a boardgame store in a different unit but now just a restaurant.

They specialize in hubei/hunan food 湖北菜 so its more spicy and fatty but super flavorful.

Overall i think everything taste great, it is slightly more oily, but just a little dab dab and its all good.

Highly recommend their chicken feet, pepper with pork 小炒肉 and stir fried beef 小炒黄牛肉! And if you like picked food, their picked bean with minced pork is also 5/5 酸豆角炒肉沫🤤“

“Best Hakka Restaurant“

“I love supporting small businesses, and Hakka Cottage did not disappoint! The owner was very polite and friendly. The shop is quaint and intimate, great option for dining in. I opted for take out and some of the standout dishes were the fried dumpling, lollipop chicken, and the Manchurian chicken. The fried rice had that perfect wok hey. Definitely give these guys a visit!“

“My wife and I went out to Scarborough, and while we were there, we got hungry and stopped in for some Chinese food. We ordered the General Tso’s chicken and the Sweet and Sour chicken, and both dishes were absolutely amazing. The portion sizes were generous—more than enough to feed the two of us. Thank you!“

“Went here to grab some food after several days of passing by the store. Out of curiosity, I went and ordered general tao since I wanna start basic and see if it’s any good. Sirrr! I have no regrets! The food’s definitely good when you see an old store with high ratings! Will be back for more! 🫶🏻“

“We’ve been going to this place for awhile now , my hubby loves one of the soup menu , the chow mein noodles which we always have to ask them to remove or add ingredients and they are always very accommodating. My hubby is a picky eater. Price is pretty reasonable.“

“Food is super good and we love Ruby, she has a great customer service with a big smile whenever we request for something. She is also very considerate and caring. It was first time eating here of my friend and we are very happy with our dining experience here.“

“It's a BLIZZARD out side no body wants to do delivery, do to weather!! It's realy bad out side , DECEMBER 26 2025 , THE DELIVERY MAN MADE TO OUR BUILDING!!!!!!! WOW & THE FOOD IS AMAZING OTHENTIC REAL CHINESE FOOD , I WISH IF THE CAN MOVE IN NEXT DOOR !! , WE WONT HAVE TO COOK ANYMORE 👍 10 STARS. !!!!! GUARANTEED GREAT FOOD 🤗“

“Awesome food. Courteous service. Great value for traditional and tasty foods.“

“Great service, great food and great vibes. I came here with my family and the food went well beyond our expectations. The staff was very friendly and offered to take a family picture of us. Chicken doesn’t seem as popular here. I highly recommend the black bean sauce short ribs and soft shell crab fried rice. Portions are very large. Great for large groups as the tables seat up to 10.“

“The service here was really good. Food was delicious. I recommended this restaurant! �����“

“Brought my mom to one of her favorite food spots today! This place may not look fancy or big it’s actually a pretty small restaurant but the chef makes incredible dishes. Mom always orders their spicy fish, and we also got a spicy sour cabbage and their signature fried pancake dish (the pancakes are sliced into noodle form and stir-fried with bean sprouts). Everything was so good! The portions are generous too, we even had leftovers. Highly recommend this place, and the customer service is amazing as always!“

“Hole in the wall hidden gem for nofrills chinese food. Tucked away in a tiny plaza, ordered the mushroom efu noodles which was a bit plain but their salad fish and chicken fried rice was absolutely delicious!

With most items being under $10 its hard to find a better deal for classic Chinese dishes. Definitely going to go back to try more dishes!“

“This morning was my first time ordering from Asian Fusion and the food is absolutely delicious, fresh and both combos were still hot by the time I got home. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Pork with Fried Rice and Vegetables for myself and got the Salt and Pepper Chicken with Noodles and Vegetables for my Husband. Both were portioned very well and at a reasonable price. We both enjoyed it! The owner currently working right now is very friendly and kind. This restaurant is officially my go to and I highly recommend eating at this wonderful establishment.“

“雲吞及水餃都係萬錦，列治文山同行水準之上。招呼在疫情期間也可算是上佳，值得推介!“

“- waiters are respectful and very careful with the hot food
- the rice noodle dishes are hood with a lot of toppings
- atmosphere is hood, just a bit cramped at times
- overall a consistently good restaurant for the few times I have visited“

“They have the best lamb soup full with flavours and large chunks of lamb, and you can tell they’re not made with anything artificial. Owner is very friendly and told us that their soup is cooked for many hours. Chinese burger (roujiamo) is also great and my 4 year old son loves it. Price is also very reasonable for today’s food price. Wish they can open up more locations but the owner told us that it’d be difficult because they have high standards and don’t want to raise the price too much.“

“Good food, don’t expect to have typical western restaurant customer service since this is an authentic Hong Kong/ Asia restaurant.

But great people, good food, many choices of meal. Would be a good touch to add more English translated name of the food.“

“Excellent food and selection. I recommend the Lengmen noodles“

“I recently organized a birthday party for my dad at Avenue Restaurant, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Brandon was incredibly efficient and helpful throughout the planning process, making the organization seamless. On the day of the event, everything ran smoothly, thanks to the attentive staff. The food was outstanding—everyone raved about it! The service was exceptional, with the team going above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met. I will definitely return to Avenue for future meals and events. Highly recommend!“

“Really recommend this place for breakfast and lunch. Prices are reasonable and their all day breakfast and lunch come with a drink. Will definitely come back again :)“

“My husband and I came on a Sunday, and this little spot really impressed us. The place is tiny with only a few dine-in seats and a small menu (including some weekend-only items), but everything we tried was delicious. We had the laksa and nasi lemak with chicken curry — both were incredibly flavourful. The laksa came piping hot and stayed hot even 20 minutes later. The broth was rich. The nasi lemak was just as good: you could taste the coconut in the rice, the anchovies were nicely marinated, and the chicken was packed with flavour. No fancy plating, just genuinely great food, and very reasonably priced for the quality.

We also tried a few desserts — pulut panggang, kuih talam, and kuih serimuka — and they were all excellent and definitely worth ordering.

While we were there, we noticed regulars coming in for takeout or even just to pick up desserts, which really says a lot about the place.

The service was another pleasant surprise. The gentleman at the cashier greeted everyone with a smile and thanked each customer as they left. Even though it’s mainly a takeout spot, he brought our food to the table, which I didn’t expect. When I dropped my chopsticks, he noticed right away and prepared a new pair before I even got up to ask.

Overall, amazing food, genuinely warm service, and great value. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious food, comforting home menu, excellent services and friendly staff.👍👍“

“An asian food court stall and this one has to be one of my fave spots.

The food here for the price is awesome. Cannot beat the price especially the noodle and rice dishes. The Shanghai fried noodle and the beef fried rice noodle are both under $10 which is a great deal compared to competitors that are going to be well over the $10 mark.

The noodles have great wok hei and the noodles I could eat over and over again. The other good thing is that it all comes with a drink. I have tried the cold soy milk and the cold chrysanthemum tea. Both go very well with the dishes here as it’s cooling with all that wok hei.

They also have course meals which you can choose from several options. And all at a good price too. Can’t remember how much it came out to, but I think the 6 course meal was about $70 if I am not mistaken.

Service is quick and they do speak Cantonese and Mandarin, but I tried some items in English and it was fine.

Super quick turnaround to get your order too.

Parking can be difficult when it is meal times as there isn’t enough parking for the amount of restaurants in this plaza. So will have to be patient or park in the adjacent area where the no frills is.

Great job overall“

“It’s a nice place with unique meats and noodles. The soup doesn’t have a strong smell of Chinese herbs as you might imagine; it’s flavorful! And, the Chinese bread/Chinese burgers are sooo good! The owner makes them himself, and as other have shared, he cares about who and what he serves.“

“Chinese comfort food
Hidden in the corner but worth the find! The pan-fried pork buns are always freshly made, crispy at the bottom, juicy inside — comfort food at its best. The price is super student-friendly, and the auntie at the counter is always warm and welcoming. If you’re craving Northern Chinese street-style snacks, this little stall is a cozy slice of home.“

“Great noodles for take out. They always have great deals and combos. The broth is nice and hot and the ingredients are prepared fresh. Service is also quick and efficient when you order in advance. Next time, we will try eating in (if we ever have the time!)“

“By far my favourite Chinese Hakka spot in the GTA. The food and service are consistently excellent every time I visit. Quality, taste, and portions have never changed. Highly recommend the Manchurian fried rice, tandoori masala chicken, chilli chicken, and chilli fried squid. Always hits the mark!“

“This has been our Go-To place for years now. We used to live near the area and then moved to the east end in 2016...and still we come back atleast once a month on a weekend. Fried rice, special spicy chicken and crispy wings... love it❤️🤌🏻🤤“

“Came here for a late breakfast and ordered the dry-fried beef ho fun and the braised beef brisket rice. Both were reasonably priced (around $10–$15) and came with soup and a drink (milk tea, coffee, or Ovaltine).

The ho fun was well-seasoned and nicely chewy, not greasy at all. The beef itself was a bit on the tougher side but overall still decent. The brisket rice was also solid and satisfying.

Portions were generous, and the value is very good for downtown. There’s an early set menu before 11:30 a.m., and all-day breakfast options are also available at very affordable prices.

Cash only, and exact change is preferred.“

“The golden fish maw soup hotpot meal set for two is absolutely one of to best I’ve had in a long time. The taste is spot on. The beef is exquisite and the homemade meatballs are so dense and no nonsense type. The chicken is fresh. Great ambience overall as well. Highly recommended! The coconut milk dessert that’s on the house as an added bonus just about seals the deal!“

“These are hands down some of the best dumplings for the quality and price. We bought a bag of shumai and a bag of hargow. We saw the lady making them in store. Her husband provided great customer service, and checkout was quick. We were in and out of the store in under 2 minutes. When we tried them today, we felt they were restaurant quality! Delicious! 😋 This is going to be our one-stop shop for dumplings going forward. 🥟“

“Our experience at Street Momo was amazing!

I will start by giving a shoutout to our amazing amazing server. She was so attentive, helpful, and kind to us. She gave great recommendations since it was our first time, and they were totally incredible!

We had the jhol momi and the Thai Basil Noodle (recommended by our lovely server), which were both so so delicious.

The price was affordable, and the food was amazing. Would recommend this to my friends!“

“Loved the food (was very tasty), liked the ambiance & the price was nominal! :)“

“Yo, just rolled through Scarborough and lucked out finding Panda Wok-what a vibe! Got the beef and broccoli with rice, and wow, it was crazy fresh, served piping hot, and the portion was so generous I'm still full. Not from around here, but this spot's got me hooked. Gotta come back to level up with something fancy like their Chili Chicken or Manchurian. Total hidden gem!“

“One of the OG BBQ spots in Scarborough.

Supper affordable, big portions and delicious!

Just look at all the roast duck they made for the day, still drooling thinking about it.

My fav is the crispy pork (medium fat) with cha siu (bbq pork).

Everything is made in perfection.

It is an older plaza, so dont expect anything fancy, but the flavors are still there 🤩“
