Cantonese Chow Mein is a quality Take Out. Delicious and a great value for the price. Stick to the basics and their awesome.

Good food. Will likely order from them again when I'm in the area. Only disappointment was the fact they did not have snow peas despite them being on their menu as their own separate dish....was really looking forward to them.

Quality and quantity was good. Hot meal served. We like to order from here once in a while. There is window to improve spice may b but quality is well above.

Typical tiny Oriental take out corner spot very conveniently located 1 block east of Kipling at The Queensway. Parking on side street for take out. Food is the standard fare but they accommodate my request for no peppers (I'm just not a fan). Our 3 generations including young kids like General Tao, Lemon chicken, Cantonese chow mein and Beef/broccoli spiced up but it's very well prepared-cost reasonable ~$55 for above which feeds 3-4. Busy but the above items have been ready in 15-20 min. each time I've called. A few tables - likely more for the lunch specials - and decor probably has been the same for decades and the service is polite and friendly.

The food is decent, the service is fast and efficient, the location is a little tricky for parking, and the food prices are decent. The quality of food is good. Great for quick takeout. The chicken balls had to much batter. Only a small piece of chicken inside all that batter. The interior for dining is so-so. I can smell cigarette though there was no once else around...could be from the staff in the kitchen or something. The food is really quite decent.

Ordered Kung Pao chicken take out today and was given chicken with stir fry. Kung Pao Chicken has peanuts, red chilies with Kung Pao sauce. Charged me $13 for wrong order and it’s not even tasty. ZERO RATING for wrong order and bad food. Also, it’s not on their menu, so should have said, we don’t have it, rather than charging customers for wrong items by lying. Avoid this place at all costs. Giving image of real Kung Pao Chicken (second image) along with whatever was given to me in the name of it. If you have any courtesy issue me a REFUND.

This place is great. I eat here whenever I am in the area.

February 23, 2024

This was my first time here and my last! The lady that works there is so rude and dismissive when you ask her a question. She literally walked away from me while nodding her head as an answer to my question. Since it was my first time, I needed some guidance so I let her know that I wanted a meal for just one person - noodles, lemon chicken and general tao chicken. She said 70$! Lol I was like maybe she didn t hear me right, so I said for one person? She said yes, so I said ok then I ll just get lemon chicken and it came up to 27$. How does adding an item make it 43$ more??? That didn t make sense. I was not surprised with the service received that the food was just as disappointing. The lemon chicken was rubbery, pale and I had to add my own sauce at home to make the noodles somewhat edible. I ended up throwing more than half of it out. Complete waste of money!

Ordered the lemon chicken- the chicken itself was quite dry but the dish came with the sauce prepoured on so by the time we got home the breading was spongey. The beef dish we ordered was good though & portions were decent.

Not everything on the menu is good, but if you stick to what they do well, you ll be a satisfied customer. Their Cantonese chow mein is my favourite that I ve had from any takeout spots. Fried rice, chicken balls, bbq pork, soo guy, chicken wings, spare ribs and egg rolls are all good. Stay away from the general Tao and lemon chicken. Good prices and if you do cash pick up, you get a 10% discount.

The place looks a little old fashioned, but the food is really good. Yes, most of it is westernized Chinese food, but I dont consider that an issue. My authentic Cantonese wife loved everything. The chicken balls are some of the best in the area, the yeung chow fried rice had really fresh shrimp in it--made the proper way with marinating in baking soda to keep the bouncy texture. You could taste the wok hae in the chicken fried rice. This will probably be my new go-to fast food Chinese restaurant now.

I like all the basics on the menu every time we order. Lots of selections, fair prices, decent sized servings. Delivery is fast and friendly. They do special things off menu when Im extra picky and they never screw it up! The food is good, I love the black bean sauce and the ginger-onion beef. They take debit at the door, the combos are good - nothing negative to say, I really like ordering from here!

Pretty good and very reasonably priced. We got 4 egg rolls, pork fried rice, wonton soup, general Tao chicken, chicken balls and Cantonese chow mein. It was $50 with tax (you get a 10% discount if you pick up and pay cash). Recommend the Cantonese chow mein and pork fried rice. Chow mein had lots of meat and veggies in it, and the pork in the fried rice was nice and juicy. General Tao wasn t very good - wouldn t get again. But overall, the food was good and I d get it again.

The restaurant is small with a just few tables and looks a bit rundown but Im glad I made the decision to give it try. I was pleasantly surprised as to how good their food was. I had the sweet and sour pork ribs with fried rice and chicken chow mein. My friend had the same except with sweet and sour chicken balls. I will definitely be back to try other dishes on their menu.

Walked in and the first thing I smelled was cigarette smoke. How in 2020 can anyone smoke in their place of business, a restaurant of all places. I would highly question the cleanliness and hygiene of the restruant and ownership. Walked in and pretty much walked out within 20 seconds.

The food was good to very good Weve tried a few different Chinese food restaurants since our favourite one is closed down Im like my other Chinese food review at least everything got eaten here We ordered the combo for dinner of 6 The noodles the rice the vegetables and beef were very good However I wasnt impressed with the deep fried stuff Chicken bowls and breaded shrimp were very chewy not the meat portion the breaded part I also found the fried chicken wings a little well done However it is in the best out of the three weve tried so far I will definitely try it again in hopes they were just in the fryer a little too long

Got food from here for the first time, very disappointed. I got their C16 combo and the chicken balls were cold, and gave a disgusting refrigerator taste, definitely frozen and not heated properly. The fried rice was bland, no taste whatsoever. Chicken wings and egg roll were the only good thing, but the wings were so skinny it felt like u were eating bone most of the time. To sum it up, Its definitely not fresh food as i felt i was given microwaved food. I ended up telling me colleagues about this place, and they also had a similar

This was the worst Chinese food i have ever had. I could only take 2 bites. Within less than 24 hours i was sick. I would never go back there nor would i ever suggest this place to someone.
