The proportions were so big and bang for buck. I payed around 100$ cad and for that i got. Chicken/shrimp jaozi, shrimp dumpling, Bbq beef kebob, signature lamb xan jiang style, beef fried rice, shrimp springroll, corn/egg drop soup and king pao chicken. The food was awesome and halal. The best were the dumplings, soup, jaozi, and spicy beef fried rice. The lamb special was pretty good. the kung pao chicken and bbq beef wasn’t MY favourite but that’s just my opinion. But the proportions were huge, one small soup can feed 4-5 people. and the food was defo worth for the price. service was really nice.
First time coming here, the noodle soup bowls was too tiny for soup and the noodles was too long, the dumplings was very good, and the lamb skewers were very delicious, I'm thankful its 100% halal! it gets packed for some time come near 3pm on the weekdays. Service was fast and friendly. Its cozy. We also had beef chili's, the black tea is a great cleanser to wash all that yummy food down. Food is food don't complain. Try here if you're in the city! I would come here again for sure! 😇 when you go in and order soup you'll get these small bowls kinda pinkish too. its not like reg soup bowls. 😐 like you see in the picture. ALSO we had Bao to fill and eat and the meat was so good it was lamb or beef I cant remember 🙄
You won't be disappointed by dropping by this place—both the taste and the portions are impressive! The lunch set menus offer generous servings of rice and noodles. I ordered the last lamb rice of the day, and it was cooked to perfection, with the rice soaking up the fresh gravy. The vegetables were a pleasant surprise, tasting great without being overly salty. If we weren't traveling, I would definitely have taken some home. The prices are very reasonable considering the size and taste of the dishes.
So we arrived there by 8:50 pm but unfortunately they don't take order then as they close at 9pm so we had to take away. They very politely informed us this and served us the order at its earliest within 10 t 15min. The food was delicious.best thing. It's Chinese food with arabian fusion. And also you get the authentic taste with halal meat.( a must have for muslims in the town). Quantity was sufficient for us. I will surely recommend it. Edit : went there twice to dine in after that... Their schezwan fish fillet is just so mouth-watering. And loved the flavour of crispy beef sweet chilli. Serving is generous.
Delicious and authentic Chinese food. Highly recommend the Xinjiang crispy beef, hand-pulled noodles and custard buns. The Xinjiang beef was fried to maximum crispiness and seasoned to perfection! The noodles were SUCCULENT and was a whole eating experience of its own. The custard buns were filled with custard, making every bite fulfilling. They gave us corn soup as a starter for free, which was great but bland in comparison to all the dishes we ordered. The service was fast and professional. Loved the atmosphere and the cleanliness.

Wow after reading the reviews I had to see what all the hype was all about! Ordered Spicy Beef Fried Rice. Very very flavourful but could have been a bit more spicier. Now onto the bbq...Bbq Beef Kabob, BBQ Chicken Kabob and the BBQ Lamb Kabob. Wow. The meat was marinated so well. The lamb was so tender! The chicken juicy and not over cooked. The beef also juicy. All 3 were packed with so much flavour. The food was outstanding!
I think I will be singing the praises of this hidden gem for a long time to come. If you ask me where to go in Barrie for INCREDIBLE Chinese cuisine, this will be my answer. Truly delicious. Truly authentic. Bright colours. Distinct flavours. Mouthwatering from start to finish. Honestly, I liked it ALL. And we did sharing plates, so I tried A LOT of dishes. You can't go wrong. Even the sweet and sour fish... which I would not specifically have chosen on my own... was AMAZING and I will be ordering it in the future. There is a HUGE difference between fast food Chinese and AUTHENTIC. Please try this place and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed. They don't allow enough stars. I would give Magical Taste of China more than 5. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Note: 100% Halal meats ALL THE TIME. No need to ask. It is what they serve.
Super nice restaurant and the service is amazing! Definitely recommend it. Best Chinese restaurant in town.
I would recommend this place if people like spicy food
Service and food are very good
Very good taste with great value, loved the skewers and fried rice.
The wonderful staff of this restaurant helped cater to my ENTIRE film crew of 100 people. Including dietary restrictions! Food was amazing, I got a lot of comments from the crew of how delicious it was! The staff went above and beyond to help me with this order. Next time I am in Barrie I am going straight here!
Abit pricy and the meat dishes load up veggies and meat evenly so most of the price is gonna be for broccoli. Dish was only warm instead of hot but was good nonetheless.
One of the few authentic Chinese restaurants outside of downtown Toronto.
I usually judge the food based on how the chow mein is - it was mediocre. My friend and I tried a few other dishes and they too were ok. Its a clean, friendly atmosphere and the food is alright.
Great food with a lot of vegetarian/vegan choices! The portion is large (the noodles) and it is really worth it!
Best halal Chinese food in Barrie and it s halal
used to love this place, authentic and delicious. recently went again after a break and the portions are slightly smaller while prices went up. food seems more salty than before too and missing previous seasonings/ original taste. not sure if it was a one time thing so I ll have to try again. Still the best chinese restaurant in barrie though.
We are so disappointed because there was a flyer saying fried rice for only $9.99 Monday to Thursday however we went on a Monday and they charged full price saying not applicable on public holidays although it s not mentioned in the flyer as such!!
too slow
Was in the area and stopped by here as we were leaving Barrie. The food tasted great. We ordered wonton soup, chicken fried rice, lamb skewers, flat noodle with chicken, dumplings, and sweet and sour chicken. If in the area, and looking for a good Chinese halal restaurant, this would be it. We parked in the rear of the building.
Authentic Chinese food. Quick service and very yummy. We come back often
A little expensive but good portions and delicious food
I am a regular here, I was ordering at least once a week for a bit there but Im unable to order as often at the moment. Theyve come to recognize me and my order. If I walk in, they know what I want to order already. Theyve even started recognizing my online orders and give me the extra sauce I like without needing to ask now. Truly excellent and filling food, the best vegetable spring rolls in town by far. Excellent prices as well, I never spend more than 15$ there on my meal. Will continue to go as long as they are around with those wonderful spring rolls. Accidentally reviewed the Toronto location, but it is the Barrie location that I actually go to and get excellent service from.
Food was very delicious. I reccomend this restaurant.
This restaurant was so good! The food was all amazing and very tasty. The general tao chicken was delicious and the noodles were very good too. The atmosphere was great and the service was very good too. Highly recommend!
Delicious! Very good service
Racist, dirty, unsafe AVOID! We went in and first thing we are given is a dirty fork with dried up old food stuck to it. I also saw the guy touch someone s dish with a spoon, take it out, put it back with the clean cutlery and replace with a fork. I put my hand on the bamboo in there and a nail was sticking out and cut my hand. Me and my girlfriend ordered food, several dishes. Not long after, a large Chinese family came in. At that point the person I assume to be the owner, also Chinese, must have gone to the back to tell them to stop our order and prioritize their order first. Because after the first dish came out (for my girlfriend) we got nothing. 20 minutes we waited, nothing. Yet the Chinese family got multiple large dishes coming out. Another Chinese family had also come in and when they too started to get their dishes I just told them to cancel the remaining items. There was a lady working who actually apologized and tried making an excuse as to why, but it wasn t true. The owner was extremely rude, racist and doesn t care about his restaurant. Avoid!
When I moved to innisfil/ barrie I tried MOST Chinese food and then refused to eat it because it was less than mediocre. Today I gave Magic Taste of China a chance and I am thrilled to by writing this super positive review! This place is truly a hidden gem and honestly the best Chinese food I have ever had. We ordered the spicy chilli beef and although the waiter was a little nervous and asked if we were sure we committed to it. It was AMAZING! We also had the beef fried rice and beef fried gyozas and general Tao chicken. Everything was perfect, the right amount of spice, flavour and great sized portions. We will be back again!
we were very impressed by the food at magical taste of china!! there was so much depth of flavour, and the portions were much bigger than expected, especially given the prices. i really enjoyed the hot and sour soup as well as the house tofu.
Best Chinese food ever I have in last 14 years
Chinese Halal food - not testy
place was nice but server took a long time to come and take our order. food was great though.
Favorite restaurant in Barrie!
Delicious and great needless to say
Put in a big family order and the food was delicious! The kids loved the sweet and sour chicken!
Everything was delicious. service is very fast.
Ive tried 4 separate dishes from this restaurant in the last few weeks, and all were fantastic in flavour and portion size. Certainly one of my favourite restaurants, I will be coming back for a long time. Not your generic chinese-american food!
Boss, please come to London, Ontario. There are many international students there, many of whom are from Western and Fanshawe universities. When you come, I will bring others to taste your mutton and other delicacies.
Best authentic Chinese resto in Barrie, and it s not close. A must-visit!
Delicious food, great service. You get lots of food for the price, too. We will be coming back! Thank you!
Big portion, delicious and on point. Fried haggis, barbecue, braised beef noodles, thin-skinned buns, handmade dumplings, boiled beef, cold skin, and stir-fried pork with pancakes. Nothing is bad. Especially the shredded sweet potatoes, which I havent eaten in years, are so delicious that I cant stop eating even if my mouth is burned. Thanks to the chef for the job! Goodbye Barie. See you next year during the snow season. However, if I pass by during summer camping, I will definitely go to Xiyu Restaurant again.
The food was delicious and the restaurant is clean from head to toe, highly recommend the wonton soup and the tenderloin in black pepper dishes!!!
I tried their hot and sour soup and it was really good!! Portions were good; the small bowl was big enough for 4-5 refills of my personal bowl. Service was good. Clean place, and friendly staff! Will definitely be going back to have more soup, and try more on the menu :)
Nothing authentic about this place, our second try here. Worst yang chow fried rice ever, no egg yolk in the rice preparation, not sure what the meat was, looked like baloney, I eat this in Toronto every couple of months, this was not even close! Bland food overall, Barrie deserves better, we re done!
Great food, pricing and fanatic atmosphere. The staff here are also extremely kind and courteous.
Delicious and affordable, conscientious merchant
Never ever again. I ordered a few dishes for my family through Uber eats and one of the dishes was delivered without its main ingredient - meat. After the missing I called the restaurant. They offered me 2 solutions to resolve this issue: take this dish for free with the next order or make another order for something cheap and get that dish with together ( to pay Uber eats service fee again). So, basically they refused to send a new dish( meat) at their expense. And as the result one of the family members was left hungry.
Varied menu, delicious food, great service. A welcome addition to Barries dining scene
Very cozy and quiet place.
Great tasting food and good service. The place was busy, and they had take-out orders going out continuously but still managed to get our food on time and checked with us if we needed anything else. Will definitely be going back.
Excellent tasty food. Good seevice. Smiling staff. worth going. Take out or dine in.
We tried their braised lamb and famous chicken dish. There was more bone than meat in both dishes. Absolute rip-off for the price you pay. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. When you spend over $100 for x4 dishes, I expect it to be prepared not from scraps, leftovers and chicken carcass. Fried rice and noodles were fine.
Amazing food and very kind people. I forgot the name of what I love sooo much and they were soo helpful and patient to help me figure it out. Soo yummy if I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you for being amazing! I can t wait to order pick up again! I wish I was rich so o could order here everyday! Sooo good! Worth every penny !!!!
Good service, good is ok
What a great find. Authentic Halal Chinese food, authentic, excellent flavors and good portions.
Delish meal at Magical Taste of China! Loved the flavours in the food!
Really loved this place. Tasty food and nice environment.
Great place to be Food : 5/5
Parking: Parking lots are just beside the restaurant premise. Very convenient. Parking is free at weekends or after work hours. Food
I was skeptical trying out authentic Chinese food in Barrie BUT it was a hit and a miss... The hot and sour soup was amazing, super flavourful! Also the chicken noodles were absolutely delicious! We also got the general Tao chicken, which wasnt bad, Id give it a 6/10. However. . The kung pao chicken should be called kung pao peanuts they tried to mask the amount of chicken they put in by overloading it with nuts. Definitely would not get that again! We were here on Christmas Eve so a few other items we wanted to order was sold out, but the place was fully packed!
Nice , fresh, delicious Chinese food! Best in Barrie!
Truly authentic...amazing flavors...always fantastic. Thank you for coming to Barrie!
Nice
We came here several times, the food is so delicious and the staff are friendly. Definitely recommend it to everyone.
Excellent restaurant all around. Came here late on a week night, waitress was very attentive and nice, food came very fast and was well prepared and authentic.
Went with my family for my brothers birthday - was a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Well maintained, excellent waitress and amazing food. Will definitely be returning in the future
In Barrie we have very few options of halal food and It was second time we visited this restaurant and amazed to eat delicious halal food, we ordered different dishes and every dish had unique and authentic taste of china, upon that service was superb, prices and quantity is excellent. I recommend to everyone to visit this restaurant at lease once and I am sure you will feel authentic taste of china. Parking: Private Parking space is small but there are road parking available
Finally we have authentic Chinese food! My 1st time going here I got the brazed beef noodle soup and shrimp dumplings. Both of them blew my mind! So good I will definitely be returning
Food was really good.
Hate to give bad reviews after the pandemic, but our food was burnt, wasn t what we ordered and way over priced.
I read many reviews that say. .. This is the best Chinese food in Barrie. Well they are wrong. This is the best authentic Chinese food north of Markham. The service isnt fast... just get over that. The food is worth the wait.
Best Chinese restaurant in the Barrie area for sure!
Amazing meal in here. I don t need to go down to GTA for Asian food. This is a top of Chinese food restaurant in Barrie. I like to visit frequently this restaurant. Food: 4.5/5 Service:5/5
Amazing authentic regional Chinese food!! Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious and flavourful meal. Every dish we had was so unique with complex and interesting flavours especially the Ding Ding Fried Noodles. We will be back soon!
This is a great restaurant with fantastic friendly service. The food was great. They serve it quickly. The prices are reasonable. Great atmosphere as well.
Authentic northern Chinese uighur cuisine...great noodle soups and hand made noodles,good vegetarian,scallion pancake and Har gow Some language hiccups if you try to change item in any way from as pictured Worth the chance,huge portions of noodles Food : 4/5
This place will blow your mind with some of the most unique flavours that I bet you have never tasted before in your life! Absolutely fantastic.
Authentic Chinese food! The staff here was so friendly and helpful! Just could not compliment the place enough! Thanks for the bandaid!
Best Chinese food in Barrie, also a huge plus that the food is halal, and always fresh! Highly skilled chefs and the server, her name is Zhou Zhou, has always been very polite and helpful. Greatly enjoyed it, definitely going back!
Very slow, raw eggs, very mediocre food
I work in a nearby town and really miss this barbecue. It s delicious. I highly recommend the big gluten. It s really delicious. The skin is very crispy. I only had barbecue this time. I ll try other ones next time. The service is also very enthusiastic. I can t fault it.
The food is really tasty I can give 5/5 but the price is compare to other Chinese restaurants very high. Portion are priced double than other places. Must change on menu, you guys have price on web and different price on menu book and different price on given sheet kind of tricky I guess. Must be same & it is the law also .
The food here is so flavorful and delicious, you cant go wrong with any of their sizzling dishes. Not only are they amazing tasting they look amazing too and actually come out on a sizzling hot plate. I also highly recommend the lamb and dill fried dumplings.
We went there after our ski trip. The place is clearly under-staffed. The entire restaurant had only 2 waitresses who is doing everything! From seating to checking out to cleaning. Despite all the difficulties, we got our food relatively fast and they tasted GOOD! I would definitely go back!
The boss wanted to hire someone. The restaurant was very busy and there were only two waiters. Seeing them running around in the restaurant, I was too embarrassed to ask them to add water to my drink.
Unexpectedly came in with a group of 12 people for dinner time service was great and fast-paced, food came out delicious, hot and super quickly. Lots of variety and had no issues splitting bills between tables. Would definitely come again and recommend!
Good if you are a non Chinese person going for generic Chinese food. Parking: Parking is free at dinnertime Food : 3/5 |
Totally by chance, I came here back on the day it actually opened and I m back for the dinner menu. This kind of quality and item authenticity are so rare and hard to find anywhere in NA, IMHO. Great people, broad authentic menu, delightful tastes and obviously good ingredient quality. If you care about things like that, let s support this gem so we don t lose it. Suggestions: hot and sour soup and shaomai beef. Those the appetizers - my mains were awesome but you have to decide. Good luck! I highly recommend a visit instead of a takeout or delivery order but I wouldn t mind having thisk show up at my house either. In fact, I ll be taking the generous part of the portions there shortly. Enjoy!
So glad to find this franchisse Chinese place in Barrie!! It s authentic north-west cuisine. Have to try the lamb kebabs, and the spicy chicken with noodles.
I love their food. Servers are very nice and helpful. I always enjoy my visits there!
I was not really a fan of authentic Chinese food, until I discovered this place one day. The food is very good and reasonably priced! Very lovely indoor design and a calm atmosphere. I appreciate the peace after a long busy day at work. Great hospitality: I always seem to get their daily soup, on the house.I like the waiter there too. She is very professional and friendly. Makes you feel very welcomed. If you go for a membership card, youll get discounts on some menu items too. Overall, I really like the place and would definitely recommend it.
Great transitional Chinese food, very tasty
Great service and the food was authentic! We had a family friend with us who was born in China and he confirmed the quality of the food as great as authentic. We ll be coming back for sure!
Some dishes were not worth it the price they price at. We ordered their famous chicken house dish for $30 something dollar and it was not worth it. Mostly bones in that dish, for $30 I assumed more meat than just bones. Their other dishes were okay, nothing special. I wouldnt be rushing back here to dine any time soon. Service was good, but overall experience wasnt too happy when leaving. Their prices are very pricey, which doesnt help when the food wasnt that great.
I cant overstate how much weve enjoyed eating here. The food is authentic and delicious, the portions are large, and the service is very friendly and generous. Left with smiles on our faces, worth every penny.
Great service, outstanding food and very generous portions. We ordered Chicken noodles with bbq lamb kabob and szechuan spicy beef. We will definitely be coming back!
One of the best halal Chinese restaurants. Highly recommended
so nice to have a taste of my hometown here. food is amazing, authentic! definitely recommend for some good halal chinese food
Visiting from out of town. Great halal Chinese spot close to the Centennial park. The beef stir fry dinner special was our fav (get the fried rice). Lamb skewers were juicy and had a nice flavor. Kung pao chicken was also excellent if you want more kick.
This place is like going over to your familys house; very friendly and hospitable and the food is well presented, delicious and authentic. Its true Chinese cuisine and trust me you will enjoy it.
The large plate of chicken tastes good, and the mutton skewers are particularly delicious. Its a pity that there are no grilled buns. I will come again next time
This restaurant serves a mix of Uyghur dishes and northern Chinese food. This is the only authentic Chinese restaurant in Barrie as of the date of this review. I am not familiar with Uyghur cuisine so I hesitate to opine on authenticity in respect of those dishes. The food is acceptable, but not good per se. I come here once in a while only because there are no authentic Chinese food alternatives in Barrie. Parking: Free municipal parking on weeknights and weekends.
It s not really bbq meat but rather fried. Very oily and lamb isn t so fresh. Wouldn t visit again.
OMG! Everything we tasted was delicious.
Nice Vegetarian options: Nice Kid-friendliness: Nice
I went to Barrie and found a Chinese restaurant for dinner. I didn t expect that even though it s a chain, the taste is more authentic than the one in Toronto. We ordered mutton noodles, beef skewers and hand-caught mutton rice, all very delicious! The mutton on the beef skewers and finger rice is very tender, and the noodles in the sauerkraut noodles are also very elastic, and the soup is also delicious. All in all, I will come here to eat again when I visit in the future
We took out roujiamo, beef flatbread, and fried wontons, which both adults and children loved!
Came back again:) Lovely place. The staff were very kind and helpful. We tried their menus. It performed above my expectations. Especially the crispy beef menu fried noddle was pretty good. It was also nice to have a halal menu. We will go again.
Worst experience . Waiting for more than 20 minutes and have to cancel the remainig order. Seems that there were severe miscommunication issies between waiters and kitchen so nobody picked remaining items in my order.
Stunning and delicious home tofu vegetable dish! The type of lovely food tastes that linger in your mouth hours after eating it! Friendly service and nice dining interior. Great place for authentic Chinese food if you happen to be in Barrie! Easy to see why they also have a VIP membership option as its the type of place you would want to visit several times a year! Vegetarian options: Tofu and various vegetable dishes.
Really enjoyed this restaurant!! Food was delicious! Environment is lovely, and service was good. Highly recommend
First time at this location; we were really excited to try this new place because we usually go elsewhere. The lady who greeted us was polite at first. The server also seemed polite; his name was Mark. We ordered general Tao chicken, stir fried minced lamb and vegetable Chow mien. We chose the beef option and the waiter (mark) asked if we wanted it crispy or soft. We said crispy because I dont like when the beef is too soft. They bring the general Tao chicken and minced beef way before the noodles. The noodles finally arrive and the chicken has gotten cold at this point and half eaten. The noodles were rock hard and the beef was soft so we realized that the waiter meant the noodles will be crispy instead of the beef. Even though he did not specify initially. I was very unhappy with the crispy noodles and politely explained that this isnt what I had ordered. He then told the lady at the cashier. He said okay we will make you soft one. He came back after 3 minutes and took the crispy noodles... after 5 minutes he returned with the same dish he took and just added water/sauce to the crispy noodles which now tasted very bad and I felt very uncomfortable. The waiter and lady could both see how wrong it was but they didnt want to make what I had initially wanted. I tried to eat the crispy noodles that were soaked in water/sauce and I couldnt stomach it. I tried to get the attention of the waiter and when I finally did I felt very bad for telling them I cant eat this; they made us feel very pressured over a bowl of crispy noodles which would cost them less than a dollar and 5 minutes to prepare. By the time the noodles came in the meat was cold and I had to separate the meat from the old dish to the new one. I felt very embarrassed because they made it seem like it was our fault when in fact the waiter miscommunicated. To make matters worse; I went to pay and they charged me for the old batch that we did not touch. I said this is very unprofessional and not fair since that is not what I had ordered; she proceeded to tell me the waiter forced her to bill us for the mistake they made. I felt like they could have easily fixed the situation right away but instead penny pinched Very unprofessional and rude.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Magical Taste of China in Barrie, and I must say, it was a delightful experience for someone seeking delicious halal options.
Amazing food. Fresh and good quality. Very clean and great customer service.
Best Chinese food in town!
As a franchise the standards and quality of the food are amazing. Always take friends here when we crave skewers
Great good and service as well
Very small, we went in a group of 3 after work, they gave us a total of 3 chicken balls, dry rice, rubbery noodles, the sauces tasted rotten, the pop was watered down, very small portions for an exorbitant price. Avoid.
Everything is perfect, the food is delicious!
We had a lunch today, delicious food, excellent service, consistent with its other branch restaurants in city of Toronto, well recommended and will come back again!
Plenty of portions! The portions are bigger than the Markham store in Toronto! The waitress is super nice, very enthusiastic and polite! Will come again if I pass by in the future!
The most unique and delicious place ever!
Great food - enjoyed everything. I had the brisket noodle soup - fantastic. Service was very friendly as well.
Went for lunch and the food was authentic and delicious. Portion sizes were good to share. We ordered a lot! Would definitely revisit.
The best place to try authentic Chinese cuisine
Excellent food with excellent service!
Good Chinese food. Clean place. Food
Friendly staff. Authentic food.
Great pricing, amazing food and the people are so nice! Lovely intimate eating space, and great flavours.
Truly a magical experience. A nice Uighur restaurant tucked away in Barrie selling delicious meals popular in Xinjiang. The restaurant was overall extremely clean, and tidy. Service was exceptionally friendly as well. Food was tasty too, especially the vegetarian dumplings (something new to us), the chicken corn soup and lamb kebabs! Dietary restrictions: Halal
Love the food. Best food in the world!!!!
Authentic Chinese food
This is the best Chinese food restaurant in Barrie! The food was fresh and flavorful. Every dish was incredible. Plus, the server was so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning. Vegetarian options: Theres a good list of options.
Always a go to place for a perfect yummy dinner. My husband and I always order there combo meals especially kung pao with rice
Authentic Chinese food in Barrie!!! There were so many delicious dishes to choose from that I didnt know wear to start from. The staff was helpful and friendly. I will definitely be back to have more.
The food here was so flavourful and delicious! Definitely a spot worth checking out if you are craving Chinese food! Their menu at this location is all halal as well, and they do have a menu option for those with dietary restrictions. Any questions we had regarding the food the staff was quick to answer and explain about it!
I went on a Sunday evening and unfortunately the food was only average. U am willing to give it another try as it may of just been an off night for them
Great place, Fresh delicious food. Great decor and amazing staff!!
Food is good very different from Hakka. Although 1 star deducted for sweetness in food a little too much for my liking. Food
I m not a person that likes to write review but this restaurant impressed me . The spices they use was right on spot.
The large plate of chicken and mutton skewers are very good, and the boss is also very nice.
best chinese food i ve ever tried. and people are here so nice especially that girl. she is so kind to us.. i would highly recommend this restaurant:.
I RECOMMEND!!!!
Awesome food! The best of the best. If your a fan of authentic Chinese food this is the place to go.
Service very good Food very good
The food is simply not bad. It tastes terrible and the price is expensive. I hope it closes down soon.
It was awesome!! I thought I was in China It s authentic chinese food!! Yummmm
Great place for dinner! Provides a variety of authentic Chinese noodles and dishes. Very happy with my experience. I recommend this place to anyone for any meal of the day. Had a great time!
Had a pleasant experience at the Barrie location! My partner and I have been to the branch in Toronto and this location beats it. Great service and food
Exceptional customer service! My first time coming to this restaurant and my expectations were blown out of the way. Food was 10/10 taste/freshness/flavour Will definitely be coming back soon!!
100% Halal best Chinese Indian Cuisine in Barrie with excellent service and delicious food!!!
This is a halal restaurant. I mean halal is in the title. Regardless, this is an authentic Chinese restaurant. You can tell because they dont cheapen out on the style of food considering they reside in a culture that is mainly fast food. Portions are a little small but the food is definitely top notch. Give this restaurant a try if you are yearning for Chinese food.
Vegetarian options: Yes if required
We are travelling from out of town, the restaurant was recommended by a friend, and we are so amazed by the our experience! The food was very tasty and authentic. It was served quickly. Service was amazing! We will definitely come again whenever we visit Barrie!
Good. Very delicious! Very delicious!
Delicious, especially the haggis
5 stars for the food 5 stars for the service We r not live in Barrie This kind of service is hard to get nowadays Please keep your professional service!
Never seen such a bad service in another hakka restaurant. Name any restaurant where they serve you Soup once you are done with half of your meal, well Ill name this restaurant as one. I even tried to cancel the soup but they wont. Rest of the main course came in intervals as well. Overall food was average and we wasted our time by going there for dinner. Dont recommend this restaurant at all
10/10 for authenticity, slightly expensive as far as Chinese cuisine goes but authentic chinese options are limited in barrie, its just this place and Qings on mapleview
On our back home from Huntsville stopped here for lunch. This is relatively a new restaurant, opened 6 months ago. It does have an old sister restaurant in Markham with more than 10 years history. It serves Chinese western food. Their lamb soup with green onion pancake was authentic and flavorful. The fried noodles in Chinese western style was good. The hand made noodles were chewy, it had sour, spicy, slight sweet tastes. The server was super nice. This one should be easily on the top of Chinese restaurants in Barrie,
The best Chinese food in Barrie period and also halal!
This is how good qualify food should taste like. Server was very nice and attentive. Food was phenomal
Passed by and wanted something familiar. Known this brand from TO and this location is great. Staff is brilliant too!
Food was very expensive for its portion. Have been eating chineese for years and when chicken rice came extremely disappointed they were old and mildly heated. Dont even think about trying chicken kabab. We did not make a complain as the server lady was very sweet. But heads up for all. Too pricey and old food just heated.
Only authentic xin jiang food in town. I am glad this place came to barrie.
Best Chinese Halal restaurant I ve been. We re so happy this place opened in Barrie. Authentic and homey! Honestly better than what we had in GTA!
Food is not special. Can try if you really wanna some Chinese food.
Definitely recommend this place for halal food and spicy Chinese dishes! Very authentic taste and good service
Lamb hand pilaf is my favorite, its really delicious, great service from joey and Kevin, they are excellent,
Very good! I m so full lol
Wonderful service, authentic Chinese taste, good food portion. Strongly recommend to have a try
Good
There was nothing magical about Magical Taste of China. I had heard good things and how authentic it was so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a few different dishes and the best way to describe the food was over cooked and under seasoned. The crispy beef off the chef s recommendations was nothing to get excited about. The dish was greasy but the meat dry somehow. The green beans were over cooked and the noodle dish I tried was nothing special. I ve had many Chinese dishes in my lifetime and I ve never had any that lacked sauce and flavour like these dishes did. The wonton soup portion was large but generic. The prices are all over the map, some things were cheap and others expensive for what you got. I just don t find it worth it for food that seems mostly reheated. Most people would find the food average for Barrie but it s not a place I ll be adding to my takeout roster. Stick with Qings if you want good Chinese that s well cooked and seasoned. Magical Taste of China - 2/5 Food - 2/5 Vibe - NA Service - 4/5 Price - $$$/$$$
This is an authentic review. The service was amazing, the women working the front end are very kind. Apparently, they have more locations in downtown Toronto which are all halal. To date, best hakka places in Toronto. Ive had hakka from almost all the halal joints in the city and this one takes the cake easily. Everything was fresh, not over friend and soaking in soy sauce. Everything was flavourful and had its own unique taste rather than it all tasting like hoison sauce. We had the general tso, Mongolian chicken and the egg fried rice. Amazing. So delicious! Must try if youre in the vicinity! Will be back for sure! Dietary restrictions: All halal
To get halal Chinese food here in Barrie, regardless of how authentic it is, is something to be celebrated
The food is surprisingly good and we love it so much! It s good to know that we could enjoy traditional Chinese food in Barrie! The interior decoration is also very Asia inspired!
very authentic Chinese food Have dinner after ski from MSL like it
best chinese cuisine in town!! Service is awesome and Joey is the best! We ordered the beef brisket and spicy fish fillet. Highly recommand.
I ordered from here on Uber eats. The delivery driver forgot an item but the restaurant noticed and called me through Uber to ensure I got the item. This type of service is rare these days, and I just want this establishment and their owners to know that is great customer service! Thank you!
It tastes great!
