Cantonese Restaurants in Toronto, ON

“First time checking out the east side Chinatown. This place was really busy, people were constantly coming in and out. The bbq was pretty good. It's not fatty or salty. The roasted pork was just ok but the fried noodles from the lobster dish was pretty good. It stayed crispy for a long time, I enjoyed it more than the lobster. The special fried rice was our least favorite. It didn't have much flavor and lacking that wok hay. Overall, not too bad and reasonably price.“

“The food was amazing and the portion was super generous. We ordered one main dish each with a soup but could barely finish everything. The General Tao Chicken was really good, I love the sauce and the chicken itself was also decent. The signature fried noodles were great, it was the exact amount of guilty pleasure with the expected greasiness and explosion of flavours with generous meat toppings. 10/10 will come back for more.“

“If you’re craving dim sum in the heart of downtown, this spot is definitely worth a visit. We had such a great time enjoying everything we ordered, especially the variety of dim sum dishes—they were fresh, flavourful, and served hot. The ambiance is relaxed yet inviting, and the service was warm and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

They start you off with hot tea, which is a nice traditional touch, and their menu is huge, offering a wide selection of dim sum and other Chinese favourites. It’s the kind of place where you’ll want to come back just to try more dishes. One thing we really appreciated is that they also offer a happy hour, which makes the experience even better, especially if you’re looking to enjoy good food at great value.

I’m already planning to return soon, and next time I’ll definitely be trying the lobster—it looked amazing on the menu. Whether you’re a dim sum lover or just looking for a casual spot with solid food downtown, this place hits the mark.“

“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 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 .“

“House of Gourmet is a solid Chinese spot with a huge menu and something for everyone. The sweet and sour pork is my personal favorite in the city. It’s great for groups, big or small, and super accessible—right in the heart of Chinatown with easy transit access.“

“Canton Chilli, nestled in the heart of Chinatown, is a culinary refuge for anyone seeking warmth and comfort. On a particularly frigid evening, after an exhausting search for a functional RBC debit machine, I found myself wandering the bustling streets of Chinatown, defeated and chilled to the bone. In my aimless roaming, Canton Chilli appeared like an oasis of light and warmth amidst the chaos.

Inside, the restaurant radiates a welcoming simplicity. Pop music plays softly over the hum of sizzling woks, and the air is filled with the unmistakable aroma of garlic, ginger, and soy. I ordered the chicken sweet corn soup for $9.95 and a complimentary spring roll, unaware I was about to experience pure culinary comfort.

The spring roll was a revelation. Its golden, crispy exterior shattered with the perfect crunch, revealing an umami-rich vegetable filling that was earthy and satisfying. It wasn’t just a starter; it was a promise of the meal to come.

The chicken sweet corn soup arrived steaming and fragrant. Each spoonful offered tender shreds of chicken and bursts of sweet corn suspended in a creamy, golden broth. The subtle seasoning, with a gentle kick of white pepper, elevated it beyond ordinary comfort food—it was restorative, like a warm hug in a bowl, evoking memories of home and care.

Canton Chilli also excels in family-style dining. Their special family dinners, ranging from two to four items, provide a perfect balance of variety and value, making them ideal for any gathering. Dishes like General Tso’s chicken, shrimps with mixed vegetables, Manchurian-style hake chow mein, and their iconic vegetarian spring rolls cater to every palate, from the adventurous eater to the traditionalist.

In a city known for its fast pace, Canton Chilli offers a moment of pause—a place to share a meal, connect with loved ones, or simply find solace after a long day. For me, it was not just a meal but a lifeline on a cold night, proof that comfort and kindness can be found in the unlikeliest of places. Canton Chilli is more than a restaurant; it’s a reminder that food, at its best, is both nourishment and sanctuary.“
