The mustard tasted like PVC paste, not sure why this was good enough to be served as a condiment. plus this Cantonese dish of chowmein was tasteless … wasted money buying that.

Decided to finally check this place out after hearing all the hype, and I'm baffled what all the praise is about. The food is decent - nothing spectacular, and similar to any strip-plaza Chinese take-out restaurant.The big difference is the at least double to triple the price for all their dishes, and the much less portions you get from any other take-out Chinese restaurant. And as far as them having the best chicken balls, they were okay, but not even close to the best chicken balls in the world from my favorite Chinese restaurant King Asian on Hurontario in MississaugaFour of us (2 gals, 2 guys) ordered 6 dishes, and even with the smaller portions the gals ate with the guys eating the majority of all the dishes, we were all still hungry, and that's even after eating three bowls of their complimentary fried noodles.Sure the service was exceptional, but even that doesn't justify the over-priced and small-portioned dishes they serve. The restaurant was also way too dimly lit, you could barely see across the small room.Can't say we will ever go back there again. You're better off paying the inflated UberEats or Skip pricing and order from your favorite take-out Chinese restaurant and have it delivered - you'll still pay less, get bigger portions, and never have to leave your couch.

Best steakhouse in Toronto for almost a century. Reluctant to rate for fear of giving away the secret (and making the wait longer) but great family businesses deserve it.

Lobster and steak...yum. but they also had a bunch if other stuff. We spoke with some life long regulars who said everything on the menu was good. The place was busy, so I assume they are right. Will definitely go back.

Toronto's best steakhouse plus classic Cantonese food. All of the steaks and chops are fantastic. The grilled salmon is great. Must haves include Jumbo grilled prawn, Singapore lo mein, butterfly shrimp, soo gai and baby back ribs.

Service was great! Couldn't say that about the food. The food is ok but definitely overpriced, think it's because of the area but I came here off of the reviews. Don't like leaving not so great reviews but spending $90 ish plus for 3 dishes with quality that I could have got from a takeout spot I really thought it would be more..should have gone to mandarin if I knew the quality would be like this (no offence to mandarin) I'm simply comparing price with quality and for me I've had better, much better. 3/5 and that got bumped based on the great service nonetheless.

I’ve lived in the neighborhood for a long time and only started coming to House of Chan recently! My only regret is not knowing about it sooner. The food is great, the staff is so friendly, and the whole family loves it!

The service here is always so genuinely friendly and welcoming, that you right away know you'll be coming back again. The food? That just seals the deal, it is hot, fresh, and every dish I've tried has been delicious! We love the steak and lobster, so don't skip past that I the menu. The general tao, lemon chicken, pork fried rice and chicken balls are all the best I've had. We rave about this "hidden gem" and reccomend it with confidence.

We tried a few appetizers and mains, what stood out was the STEAK!perfectly executed steak that will bring me back. I have no comment on the rest of the food. We didn’t get the lobster but it looked nice on the other tables.A Chinese resting might not be your go to for steak but totally worth it here.

Amazing restaurant where you can have one of the best steak and lobsters in town or go for high quality chinese food instead. The only drawback is you are not able to make a reservation.

A Toronto institution for years has run its course. Overpriced and not properly cooked food. Surly and unaware waiters
