Dundas Spring Garden - Toronto, Ontario

The pan-fried egg with oysters was pretty good, and so was the salt and pepper shrimp. My favourite, however, was the deep-fried crispy chicken.

Ordered on Skip rice noodles with chicken and veggies. Rice noodles arrived in separate container - completely overcooked. Then I got another container with very weird looking sauce mixed with some veggies and little tiny maybe 5 pieces of something that was supposed to be chicken.. combined everything in a ... bowl.. awful meal.. just awful.. never again.

This is the place I usually go and trust whenever I organize big group lunches. This time we had 20 people and 10 dishes per table - not a single dish was bad. Very authentic Cantonese food with dishes that some other restaurants don't make anymore. My ... favourites were the lobster and the bird nest made with taro (very crunchy). The steamed tilapia was fresh and tender too. Service was amazing, every single staff including the owner were friendly and caring. Read more

Preface this by saying we ordered on Christmas Day so I would give some leeway for being busy but looking at other reviews maybe not. Pan fried pork and chive dumplings arrived strangely browned and soaked in oil but eatable. The main problem was the roast duck & mixed veg ... dish. It arrived soaked in a gloopy clear sauce like mucous, and not in the way gravy/fat can gellify when its cold. Maybe I'm being an ignorant white woman here but it's quite disgusting just to look at let alone eat. The veg themselves seemed basically raw but fine and there was a good potion of meat, but the skin was all soggy. Most it is inedible, an absolute waste of money. Read more

The herbal chicken hotpot was closer to a sesame chicken hotpot. The flavor was good but the overall dish lacked cohesion and finesse. We were told we had to order a whole chicken even though they had half a chicken on the menu.
