Swatow Restaurant - Toronto, Ontario

A nice little eatery for authentic Swatow (a regional Guangdong region) cuisine with beef balls, fish balls, squid balls & fish slices. I ordered the shop’s special soup noodle with all the famous 4 delicacies, beef tendon & sweet bread. I was not disappointed. But when I came ... to settling the bill, I was told the eatery only take cash. As I normally pay by cashless in Europe, I could not even get any money out of their cash machine in the shop. In the end I was offered to settle by PayPal which I was happy to do. Interior was plain with no frills. Read more

Took the family here after a Jays game as it opens until a decent time. Honestly, we eat a LOT of Chinese food and this place hits the spot. Even though the price is on the higher side, the portions were pretty big and quality was good. Restaurant is small ... so there’s always a lineup but it moves pretty quickly. Cash only but there is an ATM inside and most major banks are literally steps away outside. Highly recommended for tourists and visitors, wouldn’t recommend for locals as you can get better or equal quality considering the high price here. Read more

Cash-only restaurant with traditional Chinese fare. Don’t be deterred if there’s a line up outside the door. Food is served quickly and they flip tables just as quick. We were a party of 3, and got seated within 15 minutes on a weeknight dinner. We ended up splitting 5 dishes, which was ... plenty, considering the generous portions. Everything was great, but the overall favourite was the Roasted Duck with Special Sauce, which came out nice and crispy. Highly recommended and can’t wait to try more of their menu. Read more

Good authentic Chinese food. Price was decent but they don't take card and the atm is an extremely uncomfortable position in the middle of the dining area. Discovered this place just walking around Chinatown, the servers were very knowledgeable , nice and pretty dang fast.

We ate here about a week ago and got exactly what we expected. The prices were great for the quality. Very very large portions big enough for sharing. We ordered the general Tao chicken, chicken fried rice, and chow mein noodles with BBQ pork and we had enough to bring ... home leftovers for dinner the next day. Just like any good Chinese restaurant the service and atmosphere were not the focal point. I can appreciate this and have no issues with it considering again the value perception on what I ordered. I will definitely be back and if you're looking for a quick place to eat this is definitely it as we only waited 8 to 10 minutes for our order. Read more
