“Best late-night Chinese in Scarborough. The beef ho fun has insane wok hei and the portions are massive for the price.”
March 2025
“Came here after midnight and the kitchen was still going strong. Fish maw soup is incredibly comforting. Will be back every week.”
January 2025

February 2025
“Family-style dining done right. We ordered 8 dishes for 6 people — every single one was excellent. The cashew beef is a must-order.”
March 2025
“The eel clay pot rice is iconic. I've had it all over Toronto and nothing compares. The caramelized crust at the bottom is perfection.”
February 2025

March 2025
“Our family has been coming for 20 years. The staff know the regulars by name. It's the kind of place that doesn't exist anymore except here.”
January 2025
“Order here regularly for delivery. Food arrives hot and well-packed. The BBQ pork and roasted duck combo is always on point.”
March 2025
“Lobster noodles are unreal — the E-fu noodles absorb all the lobster broth and the texture is silky. Order this every single time.”
February 2025
“Grew up eating here. The mapo tofu and the steamed chicken with ginger scallion oil are as good today as they were 15 years ago. Consistent.”
January 2025
“Best fish maw soup in the GTA, hands down. Rich, collagen-packed, with real seafood. Not watered down. This is how it should taste.”
March 2025
“Visiting from Hong Kong — surprised how close this is to what you'd find in Mongkok. The squab is excellent. The salt & pepper squid is the best in Canada.”
February 2025
“Ordered catering for my parents' anniversary — 12 dishes for 20 people. Everything was hot, plentiful and authentic. Guests kept asking who catered it.”
January 2025
“The wok hei on the stir fry dishes here is real. You can smell the breath of the wok in every plate. Been chasing that at other places and never matched.”
March 2025
“The prices are very reasonable for the quality. I brought friends visiting from Vancouver — they said it was the best Chinese food they've had outside of BC.”
February 2025
“After-work staple for 10 years. The pork chops with onions are comfort food at its finest. Kitchen is always running well past midnight.”
January 2025
“The congee is underrated here. Silky smooth with century egg and pork. Perfect at 1am after a long shift. Delivery was fast too.”
March 2025
“My family drives from Mississauga every other week just for the eel clay pot and the lobster. Worth every kilometer.”
February 2025
“Authentic Cantonese cooking that's hard to find. The steamed whole fish changes daily — always fresh. The ginger scallion oil poured over is restaurant quality.”
January 2025
“The delivery packaging is excellent — hot food stays hot, soup dishes have tight lids. Nothing spills. Ordering almost every weekend.”
March 2025
“The beef ho fun is a benchmark dish around here. Perfectly charred, not oily, the bean sprouts still have crunch. This is how it's done.”
February 2025
“Went with a group of 15 for a birthday banquet. Staff accommodated everything without fuss. The peking duck and lobster courses were showstoppers.”
January 2025
“I specifically come here for the garlic sautéed snow pea shoots. Bright green, barely wilted, fragrant. Simple but impossible to replicate at home.”
March 2025
“Best late night option by far in the 416. We always end up here after events. The dim sum items on the late menu are surprisingly good.”
February 2025
“The crispy skin roast pork belly is absolutely addictive. Ordered it four times in two weeks. The delivery box keeps everything crispy.”
March 2025
“Solid Cantonese restaurant with no pretension. The food is honest, portions are huge, and the kitchen runs until 2am. What more do you need?”
January 2025
“Ordered the seafood hot pot set for two — came with 8 plates of fresh ingredients and a rich broth. Way more than we expected. Amazing value.”
February 2025
“Was recommended by a Scarborough local at my hotel. Drove 25 min and it was 100% worth it. The salt baked chicken is extraordinary.”
January 2025
“Three generations of my family eat here. My grandmother, my mother, and now me and my kids. That's the best review I can give.”
March 2025
“The char siu is tender, caramelized, with a proper red crust. Not rubbery or dry. Ordered two portions because one is never enough.”
February 2025
“The squab (pigeon) is done perfectly — crispy dark skin, juicy interior. Don't see this executed this well anywhere else in Toronto.”
March 2025
“Post-shift meal spot for me and my coworkers. Hot food at 1:30AM, fast service, and the eel clay pot is the best decision after a long day.”
January 2025
“The private dining room is perfect for smaller family events. Reserved for 10 people, great privacy, staff was attentive throughout.”
February 2025
“As a Chinese immigrant, this is the closest to home cooking I can find outside of my own kitchen. The flavours are right. Not westernized.”
March 2025
“The ginger scallion lobster is outstanding. Fresh lobster, perfect seasoning, generous portion. It's the best delivery meal I've ordered in years.”
January 2025
“Their braised pork belly with taro is seasonal and completely different from what you find elsewhere. Dense, sticky, the taro absorbs the pork fat beautifully.”
February 2025

March 2025
“Came for a work dinner with 8 colleagues — mostly non-Chinese. Everyone was blown away. The salt baked chicken and lobster noodles got the most praise.”
January 2025

February 2025
“This is what a neighborhood restaurant should be. Everyone knows each other. The food doesn't change. The prices are fair. That's the whole formula.”
