We tried it as soon as we got home. Long story short, we threw it all away Got Gen Tao chicken and beef broccoli and fried rice. Meat dishes were inedible. I suspect old dried out food from previous days. Don't waste your money

Your mall food court style simple chinese fast food. I can appreciate places like this because I remember growing up and we would order 5-6 dishes of this and it would be delivered to our house. Lots of these places had this similar taste and it's a type of cuisine that has been in Canada for generations and It brings me back.memories from my childhood ordering. Cool place. Hot sauce will do you wonders with their food. Generally it's pretty safe to get rice, beef and broccoli, sweet and sour pork, chicken wings and chop Suey. They are usually the staples of these places that are at a affordable price point. I just got combo number 3 . The chicken wings were solid. Needed hot sauce ! Rice was decent. Simple. Will digest well. Thanks for bringing back the memories. Wish you the best in your business !

Terrible customer service. Disrespectful to customers. I asked nicely if something could be prepared. The wife (co-owner) agreed. When her husband was curious about what we were talking about. He came over and started to yell and scream that they couldn't do that. The wife immediately acted like she didn't know what I was talking about. I see why this place is on its last legs.

I found long strip of plastic I pulled out of my mouth. Chow mein dish. I love chinese food but you can't make mistakes like that with food.

I wanted to leave a positive review here for a couple of reasons. 1. these lovely humans do not deserve a good portion of the negative reviews that are being posted. Chances are if the owners seem to be rude - it's more then likely a language barrier. I found them to be extremely pleasant and willing to communicate, but it also took some understanding on my behalf, Kindness is key. :) 2. Food was great - as you would expect from a Chinese takeout place that is in Canada! 3. Portion sizes were as expected - great for both my husband and I. I hope that if you visit this place and you found it to be good that you also leave a positive review - they are important. Thanks so much!

It’s very oily and watery, lots of liquids and small portions, I won’t buy from them again.

I can understand why this place is rated so poorly… We ordered the beef rice noodle dish and it was quite oily and didn’t come with much meat - about 6 pieces to be exact. You’re paying for a box full of carbs! I’d pass on this place and go elsewhere! Yonge street food court by Yonge and finch is actually so much better if you don’t mind the drive. Good value and the food is tasty and good portions sizes with relative amount of protein.

Not a friendly place.Food is average and service non-existant. A good place to have an argument.

Pretty sure the food gave me food poisoning

December 21, 2023

Ordered chicken fried rice and General Tao (Tso) chicken. Rice was fine...average. The Gen. Tso chicken was not only extremely dry and not fresh. I believe it may have been from the Ming Dynasty. Mainly batter with virtually no sauce. One and done.

I just to went to this restaurant to order tray of noodles for husband 65th birthday so I asked the guy how much is a tray, he looked at the price at the wall for an single plate order which is $13 plus and then looked at the tray he said $65. I was surprised how expensive it is not even big tray and I said its expensive! And then He motioned his hand for me to go like an animal what a rue gesture..I drove from Richmond Hill just to order food,I wanted a couple of dishes. I wouldnt trade a GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE OVER FOOD. I drove to T&T great food amazing customer service. This old guy didnt realized customers give him a living!

Just ordered the shrimp lobster sauce serving $13.99 I WAS SO SHOCKED TO SEE THAT ONLY 5 SHRIMP WAS IN ALL THAT LOBSTER SAUCE, IM NEVER GOING BACK THERE, THEY HIDE BEHIND LANGUAGE BARRIES TO RIP PEOPLE OFF..

December 21, 2022

Terrible customer service. The man at the front was not being cooperative when we were asking him simple questions and he was very rude. I also think I got food poisoning! Now I m traumatized and don t think I ll eat any Chinese food for a while bc of this horrific experience.

I have been a customer of the China cart for several years Today I was told to go F -myself!! There s a very bad language barrier and because I was asking about their mini breaded dry spareribs for some reason there was a massive confusion. A mail came on the phone and told me where to go and I will never buy from them again. The last time I bought from them was a huge disappointment and waste of money. I highly suggest you find somewhere else to purchase your Chinese cuisine.!!!!!!

The Sweet & Sour Chicken was OVER FRIED & HARD AS ROCK. THE WORST EVER. The Food Here is consistently Mediocre. Everything is usually Over-cooked. The Owners are Rude & Incompetent. They always try to overcharge for a Couple of Dollars. On A Scale of 1-10, these people get a 1. Anyone who gives this Dump a good report must have been Fed Mediocre food most of their lives, and simply dont know the difference.

Good sized plate for the money. Always on time, fresh and consistent. Biased because its very close and convenient for me to get cooked meal. Usually ready for pickup after make call, have a smoke walk over the birdge and dinner is ready, warm and waiting

Food is ok. We had indigestion after the meal. Service is on the slow side.

December 21, 2020

Most Chinese food delivery/take out places consistently tastes the same Not at this place,as ownership has changed hands so many times... You think they might add some flavor perhaps a slice or two of bbq pork, and few little drops of sesame oil in the wanton soup broth, just so it wont taste like like warm dishwater! If the chicken (meow) was not anything close to tasting like chicken (meow),then what is it (meow)??? Watch out as they tend to purposely overcharge $10.00-$20.00 on credit card delivered orders. When you call to complain they offer you a credit for next time (less the taxes and rounded off,thats the scam to keep you ordering again.....it aint worth it!

Prices are good, food is good, just kind of disappointed theyre not on any third party delivery apps (e.g. Uber Eats, Door Dash, Foodora, etc.)

Disgusting quality food and lady would not give refund. I watched it on video.

December 21, 2020

I found a piece of metal in my food and asked for a refund after 2 years of business and was refused.

This is not the same quality from 2 years ago. The food was terrible and we were refused a refund. i even tipped the lady....

My parents have been ordering from here for YEARS. My wife makes me drive across town for it. Great food. The chicken fried rice is GREAT and tasty. The orange chicken is also great. Ive tried the spring rolls, chicken balls and chicken wings. All are tasty. Most complaints here appear to be of the lack of communication due to a language barrier. Get over it people. Most of you can barley compile a sentence in English yourselves

Ive tried China Court on different occasions over the last 10 years. I think the food quality used to be a bit better. We ordered the seafood chow mein and combo #2 tonight. The seafood chow mein was very good. Tons of seafood variety and veggies. Combo 2 however was somewhat disappointing. The rice was drenched in soya sauce. Way too salty! The chop suey was ok but Ive had better elsewhere. It comes with 3 chicken balls as well stuffed with chicken breast and red sauce on top. Those were delicious. Id return for the chow mein. Overall its Canadian Chinese food not authentic so dont go with high expectations.

December 21, 2019

I noticed this place while walking by and figured I would give it a try. I stood by the counter for 5 minutes before someone approached me. I asked about the Combo 12 and said I was torn between the fried noodles with beef. Guy #1 didnt acknowledge me and shuffled back to the kitchen where Guy #2 came out front, immediately looked me head to toe and made a face of disapproval. I asked the same question I asked Guy#1 to which he angrily replied look at the pictures man and HE LEFT too! I walked outside and took a breather, taken back by the lack of customer service. I walked back in and another stink eye was passed my way. I just ordered the fried noodles with beef, not wanting to partake in any more conversation. Just got home and threw out my meal. Bland, greasy. Poured hot sauce all over it, not even that could make it edible. Go some place else where your business is appreciated and the food has seasoning. Also they dont speak English.. like.. almost at all.

food tasted sooooo bad couldnt finish it. It smelt like dogs were being fried and the angry Chinese guy was always yelling at the phone, The aquarium was dirty and saw a floating fish that looked white and eyes were missing. Saw black and indents to the wall beside the phone. I highly recomend never going to that dirty place again

I wish I took pictures of the food to show what Im about to describe. This place has been there for as long as I can remember. I have always lived in this area and have always heard mixed reviews. A few weeks ago I decided to give them a try for the first time. Ill start with the price. I guess for what you get its fairly priced and that is why I am rating two stars and not one. Service is non existent, in the sense that the workers are rude and barely speak English (understandable) therefore as mentioned non existent. Now for the food, I ordered plain fried noodles, general tso chicken, and steamed vegetables. The noodles were soggy and greasy, no flavour aside from oil. The chicken was not anything close to general tso chicken aside from it being red. The chicken was rubbery, and the sauce tasted metallicy. The steamed veggies were not steamed but instead swimming in a pool of grease and had remnants of chicken in it. This place is an absolute FAIL and I seriously have no idea how and why anyone would think its good. There are so many other Chinese food joints in the area and this one should not even exist.

I ordered chicken balls and chow meins and everything was bland and the noodles were undercooked. There was barely any sauce on the noodles and even the sweet and sour sauce had no flavour. I ordered delivery and specified twice that I wanted to pay debit and they showed up without the debit machine and I had to borrow cash from my room mate.
