Cantonese Restaurants near Unionville, ON

“regular spot for home style comfort.
the clay pots in my photos are the ‘feeds 6’ size
The dishes take time to make so i like to call ahead to put in my seat reservations and clay pot order prior to arrival.
love the chinese sausage here, balanced level of saltiness and tender.“

“This salt-baked chicken is so delicious! ! !At first, I didn’t have a clear understanding of the difference between shredded chicken.Ordered a direct cut?Slightly salty, it’s just delicious boiled chicken! The flavorful one! Very fresh! good smell! Special meal! The chicken breasts were very tender and not stale at all. Just eat it with green onion and ginger soul sauce and you can really enjoy two bowls of rice.-Today I ordered hand-shredded chicken and salt-baked chicken. They will actually cut it for you on the spot?, tear it on the spot, season it, and toss it??The chicken breast is still very tender, moist and tasty.Chicken skin is crispy and not greasyI am so in love with you that I must give everyone my blessing! ! ! ! !“

“Growing up, I never really gravitated toward rice rolls or congee - there were always too many other tempting dishes at dim sum! I found rice rolls too thick and filling, often taking up valuable stomach space that I’d rather reserve for dumplings and other favourites. But Millstone Rice Rolls completely changed my perspective.
The shrimp and pork rice rolls were a revelation. Instead of being thick and heavy, the rice noodle was thin, delicate, and slightly wrinkly - more like a wide noodle than a dense sheet. The filling was generous, with plump shrimp and flavourful pork, and the sweetened soy sauce tied it all together beautifully.
We also tried the rice rolls wrapped around youtiao (egg dough stick), and it might’ve been the best I’ve ever had. The youtiao was soft, chewy, and perfectly salty - none of that hard, mouth-cutting texture I’ve unfortunately experienced elsewhere. Paired with the thin rice roll, it was such a satisfying bite.
The congee we ordered - dried scallop, gingko seed, chicken, ginger, and bean curd stick - also stood out. The rice had a grounded texture, not too mushy but still comforting, with flavours that blended seamlessly. It was surprisingly light for a congee, which made it even more enjoyable.
All in all, I had a really positive experience. Millstone has definitely made me a believer, and I can’t wait to come back to try more.“

“It was strange, the dishes I ordered (spaghetti bolognese and iced lemon tea) were really delicious, but my bf got Portuguese chicken and iced ying yuen and he said they both tasted weird/not normal. The Portuguese chicken contained pineapple which was unexpected, and he said the ying yuen just didn't taste that good compared to what he's had before. I agree that there really shouldn't be pineapple in Portuguese chicken, but I can't confirm whether it tasted bad or not; I guess if you love pineapple you might enjoy it. They also give a starter soup, and we were given the corn soup, and that was super yummy. Overall it was an average experience for an HK cafe, and depending on what you get it can be a hit or miss.“

“Coming soon this summer yeahh !!“

“Absolutely delicious bbq pork, duck, and char siu that won't break the bank.

I go here every other week or so when I'm too lazy to make lunch. You can get a hefty portion of rice and meat of your choice for around $12-$14 (cash only). You can also order meat by the pound and cook your own rice at home.

They've truly perfected the technique. A lot of locals come here for lunch which will result in a wait, but it goes to show how popular it is amongst those in the area. If you're ever around, I'd highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“Over last 5 years or so have been exploring more and more of the east Asian food options in the northeast of the GTA. Added Yummy to the list of must go, economical Cantonese breakfast/lunch spots. Had meant to ages ago but was regular at another restaurant next door. Noticed Yummy was always full; always a good sign. My chinese barber recommended Yummy as one of best places of this type in Eastern GTA. She is not wrong. I had congee with abalone and chicken with dough fritters. So rich and tasty. Their chile oil also excellent. If you are a fan of good Cantonese street food in low key setting, this is worth a try. I know I will be back. Oh yeah, and friendly staff.“

“The duck here is absolutely outstanding, have been eating BBQ duck at many different restaurants over multiple decades in the GTA and this place is the best. Zero exaggeration. The Char Siu was not very good though so hard pass on that. Did not seem very flavorful. But the duck alone gives this place 100000/10“

“The oxtail soup noodle tasted so good! The signature stone mill rice rolls were fantastic but next time I’m gonna try their classic independent flavor rice rolls! The fried dumplings were mediocre as the taste and the portion were both not very impressive. The vibe was very old Cantonese style restaurant. I’ll make an immediate renovation here if I am the business owner. :)“

“This place has been one of our regular spots since 2015, and it never disappoints. It’s tucked inside a food court, so the vibe is pretty basic — no fancy seats or decor, just a casual, no-frills setup. But don’t let that put you off — the food here is the real deal.

We usually get the white cut chicken rice or soy sauce chicken rice. Both come in classic takeaway-style boxes and taste just like the dishes you’d find in Guangdong or Hong Kong. The portions are solid — enough to fill you up without breaking the bank. The soup that comes with it is kind of bland, but honestly, it’s not the main event.

The service is fast, even during the lunch rush, and the cashier is always friendly. It can get a bit hectic, but that’s part of the charm. Most of the crowd are middle-aged Chinese locals, which says a lot about how authentic the food is.

All in all, this spot offers great value and consistently tasty food. If you’re into Cantonese flavors and don’t mind a casual setting, this is absolutely worth checking out. We’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“It's Chinese style soup, more specifically, Cantonese soup style. It's a great choice for people who do not have the time to cook the soup at home that needs lengthy attention. It tastes as expected, not greasy at all. Definitely recommend for those who are looking for nutrition soup.“

“Food 4/5
Service 4/5
Vibe 3/5 (food court so nothing fancy)

If you want something fast and not needing to wait in like for those Hong Kong Style Cafe in Markham, this is the place!

It is technically open kitchen😂so everything is made fresh upon your eyes.

I love their pan fried vermicilii and hong kong style ice milk tea! (It can get bitter sometimes so ask for more sugar, they are nice)

Overall great pricing, easy and homey! 5/5“

“The food is great but I don't know if it justifies over $20 a bowl of noodles after tax and tips. The lady that works at nights is great but why is she the ONLY server in the entire restaurant? The poor girl was running around the restaurant servicing over 10 tables at the same time and couldn't even catch a breath. She was so polite and so quick though and does a great job every time we go.She's the reason the restaurant is getting a 4 star; I'd give management a 0 for being cheap and not hiring extra help.“

“Have been going here since 2017. My kid grew up eating this home meal ?. This place is perfect for young professionals couples who are both busy working and taking care of young kids and don't have much time to cook healthy yet yummy Chinese home cook meals.Did I mention the ? soup? It comes with every meal and not oily at all. Love it!To get their weekly menu, call them directly and ask to be included in their mailing list.“

“Gourmet Kitchen is tucked away in the corner food court at the Silver Star plaza. Got the lo mai fan (Cantonese sticky rice) and it was so flavourful!! Rice was well made and there was a very good variety and portion of toppings. Their service is fast and meals even come with a drink. Remember to bring cash!“

“When I was working at Guangdong TV station more than 30 years ago, I often went to the nearby "Dake" food stall to eat. Stir-fried beef rice noodles, hand-pulled rice rolls, chicken rice porridge, braised pig intestines, cold melon beef, etc. were all must-haves for us. Called Xiaodian. Unexpectedly, a "Dake" porridge, noodle and porridge shop opened in Toronto many years ago. The store's hand-pulled rice rolls have thin, tender skin, and the porridge is made with authentic ingredients, full of flavor, and is reasonably priced. Worth recommending.“

“Yummy food and great service“

“We love the food, and we also come here for large meals with friends. They're always wonderful.“

“Fast legit canto take-out food court restaurant.

I mean the food was good enough and worth more than the price paid.

Great alternative to cooking at home. Or sitting down at restaurant paying a more premium price plus tip.

Price was $26 tax-in, cash for 2 dishes and also a box of rice. I would say, it’s enough 2 ppl, plus also pack a lunch for next day.
Pretty legit deal!

Definitely will return when I don’t feel like going to dine-out or cooking. Just grab some take-out on the way home.“

“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!“

“My parents favorite. Fast and tasty.

We have been to this restaurant many times as a fast and affordable Chinese banquet hall option. We generally get seated before 6 to get ahead of the weekend dinner crowd.

Food starts to arrive within 10 minutes of ordering. Service is attentive and friendly.

Recommended dishes: beef mushroom rolls, mustard fish fillets.“

“Had to get a full BBQ roasted duck last minute. Found them on Google and called the owner. His name is Joe. Very nice guy. I bought a duck just before he closed at 7pm. Good quality and good tasting duck! My senior parents enjoyed it and they are very picky. Will return to buy more! Thanks Joe!“

“Excellent reasonably-priced fresh seafood 😋“

“Quick lunch with a friend. Ordered some chicken and duck congee ,dough stick and bbq 2 item combo (duck and bbq pork). Also came with some yummy pork soup. Service was friendly and food was delicious and made fast. Place was clean and busy for 1:30pm on a Monday.“

“Nice environment, good quality food and services. Reasonable price.“

“Edit: visited the restaurant again recently. All we ordered is still pretty good, except the deep fried foods. Wu Gok and Ham Sui Gok were tasteless, extremely oily, and deformed. Oil leaked to the table cloth from tissue 🤮. Not presentable and edible. Sesame ball was sugary and overly sweet. Reduced 1 star.

This restaurant is spacious, modern, and relaxing. Dimsum price is reasonable and comparable to other regular dimsum places around the area. Service is friendly and attentive. Tea pots were never left empty without hot water. Extra hot water pot was offered without being asked. One of the waiters asked twice to make sure I had enough food containers for leftovers. Overall, the foods I ordered were pretty good, other than the following... Hagao's skin and rice roll were too soft. Daan tat (egg tart) shell was way too thick and it did not have enough custard filling. As a bonus, a heated jar was provided to keep tea hot and not over-brewed in the tea pots.“

“Your run of the mill take out Chinese food place! But still so tasty!When they offer those fritters that are kinda sweet in the circle or football shape iykyk I usually am so happy that I can get it and the rest of the meal just goes so well for me!This place is no exception! And I can’t believe I can get these fritters any time!Also the ho fun was nice! Like this dai pai dong spots in scarbough kinda taste! and having the beef honfun after so long totally hit the spot!Service was quick as we ordered for pick up and immediately ready when I got there on time from when they told me it would be available! And the lady at the counter was super friendly too!Great job overall!Follow me on IG @thirst_and_taste for better pics, vids and more amazing content!“

“Great price combos good service see pics at my facebook page kingmax vlog“

“I stopped by this restaurant just as a quick eat place but ended up staying there for a while- so beware! However, the food that I received was truly out of this world. I will recommend this place ten times out of ten to someone that wants a good, hearty, hot meal. It may not look appealing from the outside but I promise you that you will be leaving fully satisfied and wanting to come back the second you step foot out the door! Not only is the food delicious, the prices are super reasonable! Stop by this place if you’re in the area or go out of your way to try it - you won’t be disappointed!“

“This is a place with the best bang for the buck. You can get 2 lobster, half a steamed chicken, and 4 other dishes of your choosing for 85 dollars. It was enough to feed our table of 8. The food is cooked really well. Typical Cantonese food with great value. It seems like this is the place where time forgot to update the price.

The service is interesting to say the least. The servers are rude, inpatient and full of sass but we had a great time coming here. We were prompted before hand about the rudeness of this place and went in with those expectations. It’s hilarious the small server lady can dish out so much condescending words to her co workers and her patrons and still have people lining out the door. It became comedic to me and reminded me of stereotypical 1970 diners you see in movies.

Truly an awesome experience! Food is great for the price but sometimes in life, you have to be humbled to stay grounded. For 100 bucks, you can get a good meal for 8 people and a life lesson.“
