I absolutely love Shirley's. The food is excellent and Annie is so sweet. I have to voice my disappointment in the last ladies' comments. They are totally unwarranted as I was there that night. Her friend did buy several rounds, boasting the whole time how "rich" he was but my friend and I were excluded. Not that I care, I don't know him from Adam and can more than enough afford to buy my own but just to say.. he was showboating for sure. Oddly enough, I also notice she didn't post the second bill.. which was by the way much less than the first. I know this because I saw it myself. This manl and "LADY' Charlene were totally in the wrong, did not pay attention to how much they were ordering and I find it so wrong that they are laying the blame for their oversight in the first place.

I have to write this as I had enough. Needless to say I will never go back. My friend likes to buy a round or 2 for everyone and that’s fine. 1st bill, paid, 2nd bill was more than 1st bill and we know the 2nd bill should be smaller as there was no food on the 2nd bill and bought less for others. Fine. Calculation was wrong, so recalculated and apologizing would have been sufficient, but the owners wouldn’t admit it was wrong. So I went back to the 1st bill to double check as that had a machine printout to compare to the handwritten note. There was 2 extra beer charges, where did they come from? Adding the food, alcohol and then the taxes, did not match the total of what the machine said. Machine added $15 more to the bill so that’s more than 15% of the bill, but it doesn’t have a line item for this extra $15. If you want tips, you need to make it visible on the bill otherwise it’s cheating. Don’t tell other people that we didn’t give tips after we’ve left when it was added to the bill already. Don’t say you don’t know what the machine did, you own the business so you have to know if your machine is charging properly. Otherwise legal action can be taken against the business. Whoever wants to go for food, it’s still good food, but I wouldn’t stay in the restaurant. The women’s washroom is horrendous. Spider webs hanging down low at 3 corners of the washroom, had to avoid the webs to wash my hands, ceiling paint falling off, the whole washroom smelled of extreme mould, that has to be a health hazard.
Spicy chicken with pork fried rice combo was good so that’s why I still gave 5 stars for the food, but will not visit again due to other problems.

Was pleasantly surprised with my fried rice from here. I’ve had it on three different occasions and haven’t been disappointed yet! It’s a good-sized portion and decent quality for the price. Would recommend as an affordable Chinese food option in the area.

My mom loves getting food from here. The price for drinks and food is affordable. We had the pepper shrimp with vegetable(priced more) compared to with rice, still reasonable. And fried pepper wings. The food is great! Occasionally a bit too oily, hence the 4/5. As for atmosphere, older guys are usually here, so it can be a little awkward, cause they sometimes act like they've never seen women, but still friendly.

Hidden gem? Nope. Just a gem. A very good gem. Like a rhinestone or a goldstone. I don’t know gems. But I know that good, affordable food in a clean and kind environment is worth cherishing.

Inexpensive yet great, fresh food, especially their Alaskan salmon. A gem in the Danforth and Main area, and owner Annie is a great owner and cook.

Insanely good take out food. You get a lot of food for a lower price compared to most restaurants in the GTA. Shirley was very nice and watching her cook was very cool. Will definitely be coming back.

Good food and great value. Decor is a little outdated but the star of the show was their spicy chicken wings! Really tasty and nicely fried. Small family owned business. They remind me of my own. You can’t go wrong when the cooks are in there yelling, you know the food is going to be bomb! Thanks Annie!
