Best Fukin (yes that is a region in China) style Chinese in the city . Stay away from the "American" items because your only missing out on their real specialties.
"The broth of the shrimp dumpling soup is so clean and light and the dumplings are always perfect. I also love how the restaurant embraces florescent lights." - Chef Matty Matheson Read more
Be sure to write the number of the dish you want to avoid any confusion and mix-ups. That being said, best food to satisfy your drunken munchies. Knowing Chinese also an asset ;)
My absolute favourite restaurant ! The beef with black bean sauce is amazing. I’m also a huge fan of the noodle soups . 10/10 would recommend!
Clams in black bean , salty fried squid , dumplings , beef with Chinese broccoli , shrimp with crispy noodles , bbq pork , hot & sour with Chinese donut ... soooo stuffed!
Solid Chinese Food . It took awhile to be seated and handed a menu, but nothing too crazy. These portions are basically meant to share, so bring an appetite and some friends.
Fuk kin fried rice is delicious. Big plate of rice topped with mixed seafood in a clear sauce.
The crab and corn soup is absolutely to die for. Also service is extremely fast. One of my favourite places for a quick lunch .
Don't settle for Kom Jug.... This place has legit southern Chinese dishes . Fir good value . And it's been timed; comes out in less than 5minutes.
Word on the street is that this spot is arguably the best Chinese restaurant in China Town Toronto.
Thought my bill would comes to mid 30s with 2 mains and a side ended up with 20.88. Waitress may not smile but service was gd & attentive left extra servettes on table when observed i was sweating.
Can't go wrong with the shrimp wanton soup - I recommend without the noodle !
Special lo mein was not good. The char yeung fried rice was delicious.
Cheap , fast and spicy . Wonton soup and great spicy Squid
The hot and sour soup here is the most sour hot and sour soup I’ve ever had and pretty much inedible.
Amazing little place! Love the chow mein !
Tasteful food and nice atmosphere
Favourite lunch here: beef brisket & wonton soup noodles with a couple pieces of fried stuffed tofu under $10!
Steve Gonzalez, chef of Valdez, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Wonton noodle soup . Read more
Great Malaysian noodles and great prices!
Manager was racist to us, after an irrational discussion about the bill he told me in a very rude way that I was lucky to be in the first world as it is “safer” than my home country . Avoid this place.
The fuk-kin fried rice is fuk-kin great!
Satay beef on rice is the go-to dish. What else? Hmm.... Let me think...
Great place and good food!
Cash only !
BBQ Pork is insanely good. Remember, cash only
Best service you can ever have in the history of Chinese restaurant
Despite their name it's standard Cantonese food , not Swatow food
Try Beef with Pineapple and Ginger .
Authentic AF. Says the white guy.
General Tso Chicken was prob one of the best I've had
Was able to get cold tea here on a Saturday night / Sunday morning... Great times!
Grab some take out or line up after the nightclubs
Best fried stuffed bean curd ! 90cents each!

The best thing about this museum is the architecture, it is a lovely building. If you are visiting Toronto, make sure to stop by for a visit. Mixed feelings about their collection in view. - Rebecca Raia
