The Old House Chinese Restaurant in Scarborough

Old house, you are really outrageous now. The fried lamb with green onions is stir-fried with onions. There were only three green onions. I specially ordered the pickled fish and wanted to try the difference between it and your normal boiled fish. Good guy, the pickled fish is just that. If you add some sauerkraut to your regular boiled fish, the soup will not taste like sauerkraut fish at all. Although it tastes good, the attitude is getting more and more sloppy.

Got overcharged. Three tiny pieces of dessert for $6.

A suitable place for gatherings, mainly northern cuisine, but not all Northeastern cuisine

Very delicious food!

The couples lung slices are very delicious. They are full of lungs, not even a peanut. I recommend everyone to try it. I will vomit if I dont say anything else.

Exceptional Chinese northern style restaurant. Small place but very busy for take out business.

It feels like home

Good Beijing cuisines

this is delicious

Food is alright. Price is little bit on the pricey side considering portion is pretty small. Staffs are friendly. One thing to complain is cleanliness- those condiment containers (I.e. vinegar, chilli oil) are sticky Food

The boiled fish at the old house is a must-try, and the mutton skewers and spicy cold noodles are also must-orders. Basically, all the dishes taste good, so feel free to order them boldly.

Went here with my wife and adult son. We are Canadians. l have a Jamaican back ground and my wife has a Philippina background. We were in Scarborough for some work. When we finished in the evening we wanted to treat ourselves to some authentic Chinese food. We found this place using the Google Maps Explore feature. Once we entered Old House we thought it may have been a little too authentic for our comfort. The eating area was small amd the menu was in all Chinese. But, as soon as we sat, our server greeted us with an amazing welcoming smile and promptly gave us a multilingual menu. The menu choices were not what we were expecting to see (General Tao, sweet and sour pork Cantonese fried rice etc.), so we had to scan the full menus to find and try new selections like vegetables and chicken wings, spicy clams, pork slices and a few others. When the food came out the portions were large and surprisingly and pleasantly more tasty than expected. Anyway, long story short, we were looking for authentic Chinese and what I think we found was an authentic home cooked Chinese restaurant, which was a bonus. Oh, and after we ate our fill, there was plenty of left overs to take home. I would definitely eat there again and would definitely recommend this place to others.

It tastes really good, but after eating the takeaway my husband and I ordered last night, both of us had stomach cramps and diarrhea all night long, and I also vomited...

Worst

Ive been eating it for many years and it used to be delicious, but you cant just mix boiled beef with boiled pork slices because of cost issues. Im so speechless. This is your integrity issue.

20 years old store! Boiled fish, Mushu pork, braised liver tips, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, fried pancakes, and mutton skewers are all must-orders!

Very disappointed. We had ordered takeout from here on New years, and it was good, but yesterdays dinner in was just ordinary. The Guo Bao Rou was not pleasant.

Dietary restrictions: Food

Very good

Great Chinese food. Very pleased with my order. Will definitely come back.

Yummy boiled fish, dumplings and special jelly

The place seems to be more good at northern style food, all the Sichuan dishes are not hot(but smells really good!) , would recommend boiled fish if you are not looking for a traditional spicy version. the dishes are not large but the price is quite reasonable

Awesome taste! The food is very authentic and delicious!

I order the boiled fish and ground delicacies every time, and the donkey rolling snack is also delicious.

This restaurant used to order this dry pot dish (chicken wings, ribs, shrimps) when we had parties every three days in college. This dish can be said to be true to the original intention and the recipe has not been changed! The feeling of eating

Food is yummy

Its rubbish, dont come here, the ingredients are not fresh

Its delicious, and the Northeastern people have certified that the taste is authentic. Eat all the food, it s good quality and cheap, everyone comes to eat it, the price is reasonable, just a fraction of the price.

The landlady is very warm and kind, and the food is delicious!

Its quite small but if your there for the food its a good restaurant experience

This is a restaurant you can just go to when you are hungry and don t know what to eat. It has a very homely taste and you will be very satisfied after eating it.

The portion of the dish was pitifully small, and the pie crust was too thick and a bit raw. I don t want to come here again. Unpalatable

The price is affordable and the taste is good~

Gives a home feel when u eat here

For noodles, I want to eat chewy hand-rolled noodles or dried noodles. . I don t want to eat udon noodles. Please give me the option of paying more for noodles. I m crying. Other than that, it tastes really good (I ve only eaten pork and chicken dishes. I don t know if I haven t eaten mutton.

I used to eat here often, but then I stopped coming for a while because the price increased. Fried pancakes and donkey rolling are still equally delicious. The Piao Piao Xiang pork ribs were a bit salty and the mutton skewers were not flavorful enough. I ordered another beef noodle dish for $80.

The store has a nostalgic style, the taste is really good, and the food is served quickly! When I was eating, I saw takeaways constantly, and it felt like there were a lot of regular customers in the small shop!

One of best Chinese restaurant in Scarborough. Good price and tasty food. Sesame cake and Boiled fish fillet are must-order.

It s delicious! It s delicious! It s delicious! Boiled fish and fried beef!

The takeaway is a bit expensive, but the boiled fish is really delicious and can be eaten by people who can t tolerate spicy food.

the sichuan pickled fish is bad and not authentic enough! And the Sichuan Jelly also is bad Even though the price is ok! I will not back again

I had an amazing dining experience at the old house! The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the service was attentive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an authentic Chinese dining experience. Five stars

Delicious Beijing restaurant, with generous portions and solid ingredients

The food was okay, but the whole family had stomachaches and dizziness after eating it, so I don t recommend it.

Soooo delicious and feels like home

Small family business tried via too good to go app

First time ordering skewers! Tastes great

A portion of mutton skewers and a portion of dumplings cost 21$. The dumplings were a bit salty and the portions were not large. I didn t feel full.

The shredded pork with Beijing sauce is good, but the mutton and beef skewers are not delicious.

Is this called stir-fried pork? Is this called a piece of meat? Although Uber offers buy 1 get 1 free, it can t be so casual, right?

Every dish is so good and reasonably priced! The fish-flavored shredded pork is so delicious that I want to cry, and the chicken heart skewers are cooked just right. I will go back to try other dishes!

This restaurant has no faults except that the noodles are extremely salty.

Kyoto meatloaf is the best! The boiled fish is not salty and not very spicy. The children like it very much. The sauce flavor of the fried noodles does not disappoint, but the tomatoes in the pimple soup are a bit missing. Overall, it is good.

Very expensive! The dishes are very salty, heavy in taste, and the portions are small. The kebabs are just barely cooked, so not worth it!

Delicious northern chinese food Will come back next time.

This store has been around for more than ten years and the taste is really great! Must order fennel pie!

A very user-friendly restaurant!

If you want to eat Sichuan food, youd better not come here. Sichuan food made by northerners, you know, broken tables, broken chairs, even if the air conditioner is turned on, there will be crumbs, and the portion is small. I gave her money and said she wouldnt change it. Just a tip, I wont come here again

A very delicious specialty restaurant, the waiters are very enthusiastic and the dishes are rich! Reminds me of the taste of China! My favorite is the fried dough sticks and beef dish

This place is always my go to spot when I don t know what to eat, must try their fish!!!

The signature boiled fish at the Toronto store is one of the preferred dishes. The portion for two is very generous and slightly spicy to accommodate the taste. There are as many fish fillets as a mountain, large and tender, one after another, delicious! The popular kidney flower in the wok is full of flavor. The kidney flower has a refreshing taste without being spicy. It seems that not many people don t like this dish. The skewers are surprisingly good. The mutton skewers are generous in portion, the mutton is tender with a little fat, and the meat is grilled without being dry and juicy. It is even better than a specialized kebab shop. The garlic chicken wings are also good, juicy when you bite into them, and the meat is tender and tasty. Overall, I think this time-honored brand produces good products

It was really delicious. I ordered three dishes and a Kyoto meatloaf, and each one was delicious. Kung Pao chicken and fish-flavored shredded pork were only 5.99! ! It s been a long time since I ve eaten at such a delicious and cheap restaurant in GTA The service attitude is also very good, highly recommended!

Your Lao Gan Mas fried rice is just Lao Gan Mas fried rice. Your whole old houses fried rice is so unpalatable. If you don t know how to make fried rice, why don t you make fried rice?

Tastes good and very cost-effective

We went on weekday, the serving is fast, the Beijing & sichuan food tastes good, recommend.

Its Lao Liuzis canteen. The environment in the store is very old, but the taste is good in my opinion! 1. Choose cabbage-based fish for boiled fish. 2. The beef patties are super delicious and made to order. 3. There are special old Beijing noodles. The donkey rolling we ordered was also freshly made and delicious! 4. Beef fritters are very special! ! Sweet and sour, the fried dough sticks are crispy! !

As a Beijinger, I feel like I m home every time I come here to eat! Highly recommend the boiled fish and fish-flavored shredded pork! !

I live close to this restaurant and order takeout very often. Everything is freshly made, Yu Shiang Shredded Pork is so flavourful with a little bit heat, sweet and sour. Everything else is amazing! Strongly recommended!

Super delicious and authentic northern cuisine. Boiled fish and steamed buns with meat are highly recommended! Delicious and affordable

A long-established restaurant with Jingchuan flavor. The taste is great I recommend the pea yellow and sesame sugar cakes, which are very Beijing-style. The stir-fries are also very delicious. recommend

Seems like a small family business and really enjoyed the food highly recommend the cold noodle!!! That s what makes me feel home

This place I went couple weeks ago, it s super fresh and the taste is great! If you love Chinese traditional dishes taste, you must try and you will love it!

the food is always good!!! Would defiantly introduce to all my frds and family ~ !! The owner is so welcoming and really passion abt making clients satisfy. One of the best Chinese restaurant in the area!!

Delicious home-cooked food, the taste of my childhood, an old Beijing-Sichuan style restaurant that I often visit

The large portion of sheep and scorpion is not as good as the small portion. Besides, this tea is made by an old actor! The brewed tea tastes weaker than mineral water

Peking duck is very good here. The fat is rendered and the skin is crispy. There are also some really good desserts like or

This fish-flavored shredded pork is really unpalatable. Without fungus, do you still use bean paste?

The ground three delicacies are so fragrant! The fat sausage is delicious too!

Always love this place for northern style food! Their dessert is made fresh in house and it s soo good! Must try!

The raw skewers are good, and the seasonings are all prepared, which is very convenient

Fabulous restaurant! Also offer raw preserved bbq skewers, perfect for summer bbq.

The food is delicious, the taste is very authentic, and the price is affordable. The skewers can also be taken away, great~

Tasty food I really like spicy fish and Beijing dishes

Taste so good

No need to come, haven t you ever eaten the food that Xiaohongshu recommends? Sheep and scorpion can make dogs sad, and even rag water is more beautiful than the soup made from sheep and scorpion. You say you dont taste good, but you can be cleaner. The environment is messy and the seats are all patinated, but you are quite expensive. Its a pity there are no 0 stars

It s very convenient to buy raw skewers for barbecue~

Hot soup

I hope there will be a good storage place for food storage. Keep the ingredients fresh and hygienic. It is best to cut off the chicken feet, otherwise they will look disgusting.

After all these years, I still like the old house. I recently went out to barbecue skewers. It s a must-have for lazy people.

Ready to Cook BBQ rolls, very convenient. Love the tofu roll.

Authentic Beijing food

We ordered raw BBQ from the Old House to the cottage. The beef and lamb was very juicy and tender. Also chicken liver was delicious. We regret not ordering more.

This place never disappoints. I brought my Beijing friend here for food, he was impressed by the

I bought raw skewers and grilled them myself! Tastes good~ Recommend the beef, very tender

The quantity is pitifully small. It costs me 17 Canadian dollars to pick up a piece of fish-flavored shredded pork . How can I be virtuous in this environment?

I ordered four dishes, but the ingredients were not fresh and the portions were so small that I wanted to curse. The problem was that they tasted disgusting. So this kind of store is really impressive. To eat, go to [normal restaurant].

I ordered their takeaway. It was expensive and the quantity was small. The most important thing is that the taste was not good. Mushu pork was only 2 pieces of meat for 19.99.

We ordered five dishes, eggplant, beef, kidney, lamb and scorpion hot pot, all of them were delicious. The snack Donkey Roll has red bean filling in it, and it is not too sweet. It is a nostalgic restaurant that I will go back to

Boiled fish tastes better than boiled meat slices

Their spicy intestines and guo bao rou was very delicious!! I do think the portion could be a little bigger with a $20 price!

highly recommend not too spicy but yummy Its a good place to have chinese cuisine they have lots of choice

Too much oil...

Authentic Chinese food, dishes are tasty and they got a lot of options. Definitely recommend, and will come next time trying more different dishes.

Super delicious Jingchuan stir-fry! Cheap home cooking! Highly recommended!

The kebabs are really good It s cheap, the portion is big, and it s well marinated. It s delicious.

Delicious My favorite is the sheep and scorpion!

Very authentic food

Lamb kebabs! ! Invincible! There are also fried pancakes and donkey rolling! ! Must order

My favorite restaurant since I was a student, I ate at it from school to graduation. Cheap and delicious as always!

After eating your food, my stomach hurts so much that I cant stand up. How unclean the food is. This is the most painful time in my life! It hurt so much that my whole body was shaking. Was there any mistake?

The food taste good, which make me homesick. Parking: easy parking

I came to explore the store with my friends. I didn t expect it to be a very authentic northern restaurant. I ordered pie, pot-roasted meat, lamb, scorpion and boiled fish. The pot-roasted pork was particularly delicious, crispy and fragrant. I felt like I was back in the Northeast. It s a small restaurant. It s very warm and the lady boss is very nice. She also reminded us that we ordered too much. I highly recommend everyone to come and eat!

Recommended by a friend, doesnt look too special from the outside but wow the food is top notch. Highly recommend the kung pao chicken and braised eggplant.

I got take-out. The food tasted average. It was not greasy.

This is a restaurant thats literally a hole in the wall. It has the best traditional slice fish in hot chilly oil and lamb/beef skewers in town,

It s really authentic Northeastern taste. I recommend the fried chicken with pot buns and meat, and it s very cost-effective. Three people can eat very full at about 20-30 per person. In the end, they even packed it. The boss was very honest and told us to order pie rice. You can order less bowl because the portion is huge!

Great hole-in-the-wall for spicier Chinese cuisine, and very affordable!

One of my favorite restaurants in Beijing. The taste is very authentic and the price is relatively affordable.

Congratulations to the store for successfully losing a customer! Just figure it out on your own, it s so low.

tasty

I went to the supermarket and bought a portion of lamb and scorpion for a few yuan before I remembered that I had ordered a large portion of lamb and scorpion here at the end of last year. I almost died laughing when I got it. This is considered a small portion at most, right? Not even a complete piece, just a few small bones to pick out the meat. Arent you afraid of making people laugh? Its so easy to make money. Since you are stingy, just write a small portion and sell it in front of a large portion. So shameless

I only bought Tang Huo Shao and Donkey Rolling, the total cost was 15, which was too expensive. The Peking duck sold next door was cheaper and more delicious. The Tang Huo Shao mahjong was not thick enough, the noodles were not crispy, and there were dead noodles, which showed that it was made by an amateur. of. In addition to being sweet, the donkey rolling does not taste the glutinous rice and the fragrant bean noodles. Failed attempt.

Food is very good proportion, taste great

I ordered a piece of pork slices and Kung Pao chicken, so delicious!

Spicy enough

The other dishes were all OK. The boiled beef was really unpalatable and tasteless at all. Did you forget to marinate the meat? Very disappointed.

I ordered three dishes and 2 of them taste really good. But I am giving 2 stars because one of the dish (i.e., dry fried green beans) has gone bad. I was told they could not refund me because they used fresh beans, which is hard to believe. At least they should have done a proper quality check before delivering.

We visited this place for the first time today. The food tasted great. We ordered and . Will defiNitely visit again if we are ever in the area.

Its really unpalatable

Nice food!

Masks Required

I ve ordered basically everything from fish-flavored shredded pork, three delicacies, twice-cooked meat, and chicken with saliva. It s a good northern dish!

Its not fresh at all. It doesnt taste good. It also smells bad. Lets explode on the spot.

The shop is small and the seats are too narrow. The beef skewers and patted cucumbers are delicious, while the boiled fish and tomato beef brisket are average.

Not bad, I recommend ordering takeout

Its no longer the old house it was a few years ago. The taste and service have seriously declined.

We used to go to a pace in china town of Houston, TX, USA and since we moved to Toronto, we have been searching for food which will taste as good as there. So far no luck. Today tried this restaurant and the food appears to be made the same way and so I guess it is authentic, but the taste can be improved. Chicken-Deep Fried Chilli can have bit more flavor and chicken can be crispy. It was almost soft. However, this is the closest I have found so far to what we used to eat. This is the reason why I am giving 3 stars. Sliced Fish In Hot Chilli Oil - we are not satisfied with this because there is hardly any trace of chilli oil. It was just fish in boiled flavor water. The taste for this comes with chilli oil but due to the lack of it, cant find any taste. I wish restaurant takes this feedback and improves the taste. Nonetheless, I am coming back for crispy chicken.

Ordered haggis soup One piece of sheep lung tastes a bit sour...

It s rare to find a good restaurant, the food is served quickly, the attitude is good, the taste is good, and it is a very honest restaurant

Authentic northern Chinese food

$16.99 + tax + servicefee+ tip worth of fried squid and not to mention the squid is already over fried to be harder than stone. It s full of onion and green peppers, not worth it. The other meat dishes smell funny, definitely not fresh.

This elbow seems to have not been taken care of, right? Its all hairy. I was looking forward to it, but when I opened it, I lost all desire to eat it.

Small restaurant, if this place wasnt recommended to me I would of never found it. Its not even the slightest attractive by just looking at it. But my god, I love their Deep fried green beans, deep fried chili chicken and lamb skewers. I have to have it at least once a month. Not a big fan of the fried rice so I bet alot of things are hit or miss on the menu. Just go with what I recommended and youll be happy. Reasonably priced too.

Ive had the takeout option at this location, the lamb skewers, the peanut sauce cold noodles and a few dishes off to the side. The food was under portioned and wasnt up to par with any standards, there was more onion than you can count a grain of meat. The red bean dessert had gone bad and smelt horrid, but it was still willingly sold. Not to mention the fact that they have charged me almost double tax, when my order was supposed to be around 70 dollars, but they had added and extra 10 for their tips. I know it is challenging time but please explicitly exclaim any extra charges you may charge on the customer, it is very misleading. Overall would not recommend and definitely wont be coming back. Please save your time, money and personal health by going to other places withing the area, it will be much better.

Difference!

Very bad attitude when ordering takeout

Food is plentiful and prices are fair. Tastes good

Very poor, poor service attitude, poor taste. In short, definitely don t go there.

OK.google.ca

I would rate them Zero star if i had a chance. I am not a person likes to rate other restaurant especially during this hard time. I understand that the small businesses and local restaurants are struggling during pandemic, but Its so disgusting that i have to reveal. I found a COCKROACH in their the house special fried rice. So gross. never order again. I reported this incident to Toronto Public Heath. They will investigate. The old house used to be my go-to restaurant, but its on my blacklist now.

I have been eating it for several years, and the taste is indeed on the level of old Beijing home-cooked food: not amazing, but you will be addicted to it. Wall crack recommends fried buns and sugar-fired buns I don t understand the mentality of giving one star, but you come to a Beijing restaurant to eat Sichuan food and then say it tastes bad? The brain circuit is also novel. . Why dont you go to a Sichuan restaurant to eat roast duck with fried noodles?

Food is really tasty. Price is great. Highly recommended.

tasty

There are many snacks and stir-fries that northerners love to eat. In addition, his boiled fish is my favorite.

It tastes good. Just not very clean. Easy to have diarrhea.

My favorite northern dish, pretty ok

This restaurant is a hidden gem with quality authentic Chinese food. Loved the lamb ribs and the chili fish broth. Very dope.

The food was very authentic and good. I especially love their chili fish broth and fried squid. Added bonus: fast and friendly service!

Recommended by a friend. The food was pretty good but the service was terrible. The waiter was sitting on the table playing with his phone. The aunt was sleeping on the table. It was so disgusting.

Pie Jingdong meat pie is delicious

Full of flavour and authentic Beijing street food you can get in Toronto I have to say.

Very cost-effective

This place offers true Beijing style foods. Price is pretty reasonable.

Good northern China food. Excellent price. Food is great for this price level. Fast services and smooth ride. Location is convenient if you have a car. .

Yesterday was my childs birthday, so we changed the restaurant temporarily. I have to say the staff are very friendly. The taste of the food is average, not spicy enough for Sichuan people, and besides being sweet, it is also salty. Moreover, the side dishes of three of the dishes we ordered were exactly the same. At first glance, we thought they were the same dish. Although I was not satisfied with the food, I thought that maybe Beijing tastes like this, so it would be nice to change the taste. Unexpectedly, my son started to feel sick and vomited in the middle of the night. He got up and vomited out the gall three times. I was complaining about nausea and stomachache in the morning and I couldnt go to school. I have an exam today. He just ate more twice-cooked pork than we did (something wrong with the meat?) It seems that it is better to go to a restaurant that you often go to and become familiar with.

The food is fairly Beijing-style, and you can tell that the chef has a certain level of skill. I must have never been here before. I came here for the first time today. I had the mentality of stepping on the thunder, but unexpectedly found that it was quite delicious. I ordered a fried pancake and a fried bun. The portion of the fried pancake is quite large, which is suitable for diners with a strong appetite to try. The reason for giving it three points is not the food, but the waiters work and attitude. The waiter stared at the TV for a long time. When it came time to check out, he couldnt count the money even though he had enough money. He counted it two or three times before counting it all. The TV programs shown on the TV in the store feel a bit overwhelming. During the meal, the Internet in the store was disconnected once. I don t know if this is normal or an occasional network failure. I know that the store wants to create a place where although I am in Canada, the surrounding environment still feels like home in China. I just want to complain about the quality of domestic TV programs. The quality is really worrying. Since the store is called Old House, why not play some songs with a sense of the times? It not only allows diners to focus on the food instead of staring at the TV, but also highlights the environment and atmosphere. Isn t it beautiful? The food is generally good. To sum up, diners who have expectations for northern Chinese food can try it here.

Awesome hot n spy Chinese food! Tried the fish dish, so delicious!

Personally, I think the food is very good. I ordered boiled fish, mutton skewers, Jingdong meatloaf, kimchi and pastries. All pretty good. I asked the waiter whether the mutton skewers were fried or grilled, and he said grilled. When the mutton skewers arrived, they were quite fast. When I took a bite, I realized that they were fried and then grilled. I guess they only grilled them for a while, but the meat was still quite tender. of. Jingdongs meat patties are too oily, and your mouth will be full of oil in one bite. They also have more flour and less meat. Overall, the food may be cooked like this, but the food overall feels good. But the service attitude is really not good, really not good. Although I dont have a bad attitude, it is obvious that I dont want to serve the two of us. Then their waiter, especially a tall man, spoke very loudly and sat behind me, with his chair directly touching my chair, making me unable to move. Then he spoke loudly and mentioned the word toilet. The sound was so loud that the whole store could hear it. I... At least the waiters need some training. The dining experience is not very good. The card machine can be brought to me when I check out, but I have to wait for a long time and still have to pay. If it werent for that male waiter, I would still go there a second time...

To be honest, it s really average and not recommended.

It s not as delicious as a kitchen novice like me! Two words: terrible!
