Taste Of China - Toronto, Ontario

We were in China town, and we stumbled upon this gem. The food was incredibly delicious and well presented. If you find yourself in Toronto, Canada, it's a must.

Ordered delivery from here. The portion size is decent but there is little to no meat or non-carbs in the dish. The dish was fried noodles with shrimp and barbecue pork which I saw maybe 2 pieces of each. Really disappointed.

Came here for the first time with my friend and her family. We ordered the Peking duck, the seafood chow mein, the seafood and veggie stir fry, and the beef with onion on a sizzling plate. The beef and chow mein were phenomenal. The Cantonese food here is super authentic ... and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I noticed a review knocking the chow mein because of the sauce on top - that’s actually called “corn starch slurry”, which is a thickened sauce that is used in a lot of dishes in Cantonese cuisine Read more

This was my first time in Toronto in about 25 years and my wife and children’s first time. We immediately hiked over to Spadina to find the Chinatown and wandered around for about 30 minutes or so looking at all of the local eateries, finally settling on Taste of China ... Seafood Restaurant. It did not disappoint. We started with a fairly simple but tasty carrot and chicken broth. Not a whole lot to it, but it had a nice flavor. That would be the theme of the meal. My older son had a seafood noodle soup which again had not a lot of complexity to it but a lot of good, solid flavor. Similarly, my wonton soup was delicious despite “only” containing wontons, egg noodles and some greens. My younger son had an order of roast pork fried rice that was also pretty simple but had a lot of “wok hei” (IYKYK). His only criticism was that it could have had a little more egg in it. My wife and I split an order of shrimp with lobster sauce and an order of Singapore mei fun. Both were great, but the shrimp with lobster sauce was especially good. I LOVE LOVE LOVE shrimp with lobster sauce, but I mostly can only get the Chinese takeout version with the somewhat colorless sauce. This one had a rich, intensely savory deep brown sauce flavored by the soy beans and chunks of pork in it. It was much more similar to how one would make it at home, and I think this was definitely the best shrimp with lobster sauce I’ve had in a restaurant. The Singapore mei fun was good, but two thoughts from me: a tad too many bean sprouts and not as strong on the spice as I prefer. Still delicious, though! :) Overall it was a great meal for our first night in Toronto. We went in to the night sort of expecting an okay quick meal just to get something to eat on our first night and were pleasantly surprised and satisfied. Read more

Great service. Look at menu carefully. Some dishes the same but served in a dish or sizzling at a different cost. We ate only chicken dishes and drank green tea.
