This is a family run restaurant that consists of the husband/wife/ grandma and daughter. I came last night for dinner with my parents and we ordered the original casserole with preserved meat, one with sticky rice and the other with normal rice and also a chicken casserole. All meals come with soup and veggies on the side which are not salted. You have to salt those yourself. The food and portion were good. The crispyness at the bottom of the casserole which is the most important came out really crispy! I will definitely come back however service can be better.

We went to Good Taste Casserole Rice on a Saturday, we were seven and we all ordered a rice casserole. They took longer to be served than most dishes in general. They came with a soup and a side of vegetables. I like that we get to add our own salt and soy sauce ourselves. We all loved the crispy rice stuck on the casseroles, as shown on one of the pictures. We don’t get to eat that with our instant rice cookers anymore, unlike when my parents used to cook our rice in a pot on the stove. Overall fresh, good and reasonably priced Chinese comfort food.

Went here because of a recommendation from a friend of a friend. Ordered three different rices to try. Also the braised beef rice rolls and dried shrimp rice rolls. The beef rice rolls were not all that tasty to our surprise. The shrimp rice rolls were way too salty! The rice casserole came and you have to add your own soy sauce. We had the salty egg meat and it was ok. Always love the crunch rice at the bottom. We also had the eel one with the dried meat. Was ok. Nothing wow. The most disappointing part was the soup you get with the casserole. It was like water. I think people like this place because they leave it up to you to add the soy sauce. I think this is a mistake. The chef should add it. Most people don’t know how much to add. We ordered a special soup also and it came and the they said we have to add the salt. Soup was meh. If you want rice casserole this isn’t the best.

Good food for good prices! We got the Four Treasures Rice, the Assorted Preserved Meat & Chicken Feet on Rice, and the House Special Roll. Decent dishes with good prices - the portions were big for their price! The bok choy was basic and alongside the soup which was just bland. The meat in each rice dish was marinated well and tasty, however overall it’s quite bland without additional soy sauce. It’s great however with soy sauce! Same goes the House Special Roll, which was definitely good and unique, not my taste or textures though (it’s soft and crunchy). The soy sauce is a must when eating (otherwise it’d be bland)! The service was okay, and at times slow. The atmosphere was uncomfortably quiet. Overall, I’d come here again for the prices & portions. Good place to hit if you’re not trying to spend much and don’t like too intense flavours.

There were a lot of clay pot rice options but ended up settling for the four treasures pot for 13.99. It had a bit of everything (duck, BBQ pork, eel, preserved meat) and it comes with a dish of veggie and soup. The soup was pretty bland but the clay pot rice was pretty good. It had the hardened rice on side of the pot which was easy to scoop out and the portion size was good for one person. Would come back again to try the other pots.

We visited this place as it appears to be bigger and brighter than the Kennedy/HWY7 branch, however I prefer the other location as the rice is tastier and service is better. The clay rice here was mushy. I ordered 2 pots and both the same.

Claypot rice. With the many varieties of toppings, I chose the classic preserved meats and eel. The eel was tender and delicious. Good size portions. Comes with an apple soup that's somewhat flavorless and some Chinese greens. Since they are made to order, it does take about 15 minutes for your order to come.

I visited Good Taste Casserole Rice with my family for a quick lunch, and we had an overall good time. The food may be too ethnic for the general public, but it provides great value and a unique dining experience. From the outside, the restaurant has clear glass walls and a red signage with large Chinese characters. Inside, it is quite spacious with heavily padded seats that make for a comfortable experience. The menu has consistent pricing with good descriptions in English and photos to help decide what to order. All of their rice casseroles come with the soup of the day and a plate of vegetables. The warm and mild soup was a nice start, and the vegetables made the meal feel complete. Note that the rice casseroles take over 15 minutes to be served as they are cooked to order, but the semi-burned rice at the bottom of the casserole adds a delightful crunch that makes the waiting worthwhile. Here are dishes we tried: #53 Special Rice Noodle Roll: This dish was a winner. The large rice noodle rolls were filled with crunchy toppings like peanuts, yam, and carrots. The seasoned soy sauce drizzled over the top added a wonderful flavour. #1 Preserved Meat & BBQ Eel with Rice: Their signature dish. This medium-sized bowl of rice came with fragrant, well-seasoned toppings like slices of sausages and meat, which paired perfectly with the rice. #3 Assorted Preserved Pork Rib, Sausage, Fish & Duck with Rice: My casserole included salted fish, duck meat, and pork rib pieces. The distinct flavour of the fish really whetted my appetite. The restaurant was quiet during our visit, and although the servers were busy, it was not hard to get their attention. Their English was functional, just enough to get by. The gender-free washroom was spacious and clean, though the door was a bit tricky to figure out. Despite the rice casseroles leaning heavily on the rice with sparse meat, the overall value is very good, with spot-on seasoning. If you don't enjoy rice or are unfamiliar with the raw smell of meat, you might want to look elsewhere. However, their signature rice casserole is unique and worth trying. I also recommend their changfen (rice noodle rolls) for those unsure about the casseroles. Overall, I had a great time and would not mind coming back to try their other dishes next time I'm in the area.

Worst customer service. Called in to place a takeout order. The lady said 20mins. I got there in 30mins, the place was like half empty. The lady at the cashier took my money, then walked to the back kitchen. She came back and said, oh they forgot to make your order. She looked at me like its so normal, and I should just wait. I asked for my money back and left. Never going back

No line up when we got there. Staffs are friendly and we ordered different type of rice to try them out. Each rice comes with vegetable and a bowl of soup. The soup is very water down and no taste at all. Rice is ok but I find it a little too hard and lastly the vegetable is way over cooked. Overall, I would give a 2 stars as I have had better else where.

I decided to get take out HK style clay pot rice for dinner. They have so many choices here and you can even DIY and select your own toppings. We got the Preserved Meat with Rice and the Octopus & Minced Pork on Rice. I preferred the latter. Food was a bit on the oily side but so nostalgic and brings back memories when I eat this dish. The best part is that the food was still hot when I got home and there was even the crispy burnt rice at the bottom of the take out container which was a nice surprise.

I was very disappointed recently. The last time I bought three claypot rice, I bought two extra soy sauces. It turned out that two of the soy sauces were bad and the rice tasted unpalatable after being poured out. I also threw away the rice because I I didn t complain because I live quite far away. I just asked her to give me new soy sauce next time. I also reported that the soy sauce was broken last time. Yesterday I bought three claypot rice. Buy three soy sauce and let me know. One of them was packaged separately, and that one belonged to my friend. When I got home, I found that my two rice dishes had five soy sauces. Then my friend told me that she didn t have any soy sauce. How can I eat claypot rice without soy sauce? The woman who called the store said she would refund me 0.25 for soy sauce next time. I paused for a long time before saying, How can I eat without soy sauce? And I bought extra soy sauce. Then she actually said, Then what do you want? You didnt say the soy sauce should be separated. With such an attitude, I immediately hung up the phone. I was speechless when she said this. I already asked that the soy sauce be packaged separately, so it should be put there, right? Then why did your soda chopsticks fall apart? Isnt this common sense? Hang up the phone on her immediately.

It s been almost half a year since I moved to Scarborough and I ve ordered meals from many nearby restaurants. Either the food is not delicious, the rice is rough and hard to swallow, or the price is expensive and the portions of meat and dishes are very small. It can be said that I have not ordered them before. Ive been to a takeaway that I was satisfied with. Today, I ordered an octopus chicken rice from this store for the first time through uber eats. It was so surprising. The rice was smooth, delicate and caramelized. I felt that the store bought good rice. The octopus-flavored chicken tasted good and the portion was very generous. , and also sent a box of fresh vegetables separately. Oh my god, there are too many vegetables. When I cooked by myself, I didn t cook so many vegetables. Except for the soup that was sent, it was not that thick. Everything else was too much. Well, I can feel that the store owner is a generous and dedicated business person. I have a good impression of this store and give it a 5-star rating! I hope the soup can be made better! Will try other flavors tomorrow.

After finishing shopping at the supermarket, I came across this restaurant and decided to give it a try. It wasnt mealtime, so there was seating available. The hostess was welcoming and efficient. When I opened the menu, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the clay pot rice was priced between 12-17 $. In this era of soaring prices, it was truly a bargain. I ordered the Four Treasures Rice and after a ten-minute wait, a steaming hot clay pot rice arrived, generously portioned with plenty of meat. It also came with a complimentary soup and a side of vegetables. The flavor took me back to the taste of the old streets of Guangzhou. It was absolutely fantastic.

Dont waste your money to get their soup, it tastes just like water regardless the combo one or paid. Questioning to the server but in the end, she asked us to add salt coz thats the way it is... She questioning back to us where no other customers have made the same comments as I do... Excuse me, are you kidding me?? She sounded like ive never had soup before. What a joke!! She even declared the paid one has made for 6 hours long. So let me tell you whats wrong with your soup then. You put way little ingredients so if you invest $ to put more ingredients, it would never taste like that.

December 22, 2023

The quality of the food is mediocre. The claypot rice seems to be cooked right out of the pot, but there is no aroma. This may be because the rice quality is mediocre . In addition, it is only just cooked , so the rice is burnt and fragrant , and they only provide ordinary soy sauce . Rice rolls are very ordinary . There is basically no service at all. The menu is not served and the water is not poured before you are asked whether you have received your order . There was no one in the room. The grandma wanted to sit next to the wooden stool on the isolation table. Because the old man had back pain and couldnt sit on the soft cushions, she wanted to wait for him to pass . Although the store is not very bright and clean, the hygiene is normal. But I heard the lady at the quarantine station say there is Mickey in the toilet . In this store , after paying, I finally got the warmest reminder from the clerk: the bill does not include tip (emphasize your tone and eyes)! . Forget it, a few mosquitoes will give you something to say, I just want to leave quickly. Trying food around, I didn t expect too much, but I saw that the Google ratings did not reflect the reality at all , please think twice when dining , you deserve better choices in Toronto , not a good quote.

Food was okay only. Service was a 1 star. Went with party of 8 and it was apparent when we entered that they were not happy serving a large party. Also be forewarned that they speak very limited English. Worse part is that they accused me of under tipping them. Gave 150 for 130 lunch, and I guess she did not understand when I told her to keep the change for their tip. Weirdly, she later brought back 10 in change. I tried to explain that I had left 20 for the tip but they seemed utterly confused and started to complain among themselves that I undertipped them.

The casserole rice were okay in taste and portion for the price that comes with a side veggie and soup of the day. But we paid an extra $5 each for the stewed soup and all 4 varieties were bland with big pieces of pork soup bone which took up a lot of space. Even the soup of the day was bland without any taste. Can t really understand why they charge $6 - $7 each! The Yu veggie was really long and my dad wasn t able to chew through! Even I had difficulty chowing it down. It also didn t have any oyster sauce or soy sauce for taste. The bottle of soy sauce on the table actually didnt taste salty at all, even though we soaked the rice brown! Curry beef rice didn t have much curry taste and the preserved meat had all the taste. One server splashed dirty water over out food and on my hand when she was clearing a table by our side, and had the gut to blame the water in the basin, not herself! Even though we called to reserve a table for 6, we had to sit tightly and they wouldn t let us move to another bigger table, claiming that it was reserved. But until we left, no big party of 6 or more came. For this price, just go for the rice if you want and don t expect much service. The two stars are for the rice only.

This restaurant offers a good variety of clay pot rice options, which is done well with the nice crispy bits at the bottom. The portions of toppings were decent compared to some other places. Each clay pot meal comes with soup and a side of vegetables. The soup was really bland (completely tasteless), but at least you know they dont put in any MSG. We also ordered a side of rice noodle rolls, which I personally thought was done well (not too thick or sticky, with a good amount of filling). If youve never had clay pot rice before, keep in mind that there is a wait given that it takes time to cook. This is standard for places that offer it. Also, takeout is often just not the same, especially in the case of the crispy bits in the clay pot, though Im sure takeout meals are passable! The restaurant itself is very no frills and simple, but fairly clean and seating is comfortable.

Service was terrible and rushed; the staff were rude and uncaring. Rice dishes were elevated to barely passable only once soy sauce was added. Shamed for tipping a small amount. My wife and I went last night and were seated by staff at a small table next to sofa seating in the middle of the restaurant, clearly an afterthought to squeeze more customers into the restaurant. Every item was literally DROPPED at the table with an audible thud or clatter. While browsing the menu, the staff dropped off the utensils and napkins... on top of my wifes hand, then quickly walked off without taking notice, only to hurriedly return to rush us into giving our orders. Staff reached in front of my wife and me to drop cups on the table before pouring hot water in the cups and onto the table. The apple soup was devoid of any flavour and met expectations in name only as it was a soup that had apple (slice) in it (plus a minuscule serving of pork ribs and snow fungus). When rice dishes were served, the staff removed the pot lids in an unsafe manner and the steam that had condensed into hot water was spilled across the table and then subsequently spilled directly from the lid onto my wifes arm. The staff gave a quick, cold, and insincere apology, then quickly walked off and returned with rice paddles for the rice, with another quick sorry without checking to make sure my wife was okay or unharmed. My wifes Preserved Meat & Preserved Duck w/ Rice was mostly bad cuts of meat and duck bones on rice, and even with the soy sauce on the table, my wife found it unappetizing and gave up with more than half uneaten; my Minced Pork & Salted Egg on Rice was mostly fat, and soy sauce made it passable, but I also lost my appetite. Small sides of vegetables were too oily, but passable. When asking for the bill and a takeout box, only the bill was brought to the table. Restaurant only took debit at the back counter, so I took the bill in hand and followed the staff to the counter. I gave an 8% tip out of reluctance despite mostly everything being terrible and not wanting to tip at all. Staff then shamed me for the tip amount and I had to ask a further two times before I was given a takeout box.

A truly authentic Hong Kong experience, rude service, lukewarm water with no refills, soup (water with 3 random things in it), and 35 minutes wait and then they forgot one item and didnt even apologize for forgetting it. The actual rice casserole was good and a pretty cheap price, but it did take 35 minutes (a bit long even for rice casserole. So food was nice but not special. I wouldnt plan to go back or crave the food ever, but it did taste solid for a cheap price so I wouldnt mind eating if friends wanted to.

Better than average casserole rice (typically meats and such cooked on top of rice in a covered pot) at a reasonable price. My favourite is the minced pork and salted egg. Also good is the preserved meat. Also offers beef brisket plus something else on rice that its sister location at Kennedy and Hwy 7 does not. Crunchy rice at the bottom of the pot is always tasty, edible, and relatively easy to scrape off. Dont break your teeth. Ive had 8 pots so far. Each pot comes with a small plate of vegetables and a little soup (not much to the soup, but theres no extra cost).

Tried this restaurant as the pork and abalone rice bowl was very average. I will say it was served hot! The pork ribs was cut into small and tiny pieces with very little meat. The soup didn t have much flavour. You can tell it s a local family business which is great and if anything wanted to give it higher rating. May try again and order a different kind of bowl.

I don t know if it s authentic or not, but it s delicious! I ve fallen in love with claypot rice ever since! I really like their bacon and pork ribs. It has both cured flavor and the saltiness of the pork ribs, and the portion is quite generous. I have experienced both dine-in and take-out. Surprisingly, the take-out tastes very good, the packaging is very good, and the food is still hot when I get it back. Theres nothing to say about the price. Its only 12 dollars and comes with soup and vegetarian dishes. In the past summer, it also came with iced lemon tea. Don t expect too much from the service. A package of 12 dollars does not require a bicycle. Super tasty traditional southern Chinese food Love the preserved meat with crispy rice at the buttom of the pot. Big portion and very affordable price. $12 you can get a combo (rice, vegetable, beverage or soup). A must try place!!

The expansion of Good Taste Casserole House out of Markham and into Scarborough has made it easier for me to tuck into the comforting dish. And their expanding menu keeps the hunger growls at bay while the 20-minutes elapse. Their BBQ pork rice noodle roll ($4.70) was a great appetizer to share, soft and silky with large slices of pork- even though it wasnt the most evenly spread out across the roll. Im perplexed how some restaurants continue to keep prices low with soaring input costs. Good Taste offers their preserved meat and chicken with rice for $11.99, which is only a dollar more than 5 years prior. They havent skimped on ingredients - if anything theres more protein topping the rice - and it still comes with a side of boiled yu-choy and a pot of soup where the hunk of pork, fruit, and white fungus remains. The execution continues to satisfy: the rice a balanced moisture so that its fluffy but still dry enough so a golden crunchy crust develops on the bottom. While Im normally not a huge fan of the greasiness of preserved meat, its the perfect topping in this dish and keeps the rice from getting soggy. In fact, it actually tasted better than the chicken, which was over marinated causing the texture to be too springy (or song in Cantonese) for my taste.

I don t like the eels, but the ribs are tender, juicy and flavourful. The veggie that comes with the rice is not seasoned, and the soup is not my cup of tea. The rice roll is ok, should have more fillings.

The rice is delicious! Served with salted egg, it is forever divine! The food is also very light! Tremella and pear soup is also delicious! The Hong Kong-style hot milk tea is also delicious (not too sweet at all)! The waiter kept his head down and looked at the computer and was not very attentive. He couldnt see us for a long time, so he tipped less than 10%...

It was not an very impressive experience. After waited for my order for twelve something minutes, the rice in the middle of the claypot was still not fully cooked. It was still hard to eat. Only those rice on the outter side is soft enough to eat. The portion of the meat and rice was okay. The soup was good and not too greasy.

When picking up the meal, the middle-aged waitress at the front desk had a very bad attitude! (The young lady in the past had a very good attitude.) When I took it home, I saw that the rice rolls that I paid extra for had no eggs. I called the waiter and the waiter impatiently asked me to ask the platform for a refund! excuse me, we can pay in a single store under the official website. Which platform do you want me to go to to get a refund...

Great value for clay pot rice, it also comes with a soup and veggies all for $12.99! It satisfied my craving but I wish there was more to it. The rice lacked flavour and I wanted more of that crispy crust which the rice didn t really have. #1 preserved meats & eel rice : 3.5/5 #39 spare ribs & chicken feet rice: 3.5/5 Overall the value for what you get really gives them 4/5.

Good Taste Casserole is really good! This second location is clean, spacious and well-setup in the busy Bamburgh Plaza. It had no weekend lunch lineup when we visited. Their specialty is the casserole rice as you couldve guessed. This HK style claypot rice bowl comes piping hot with your choice of toppings. I ordered a triumvirate of Chinese Sausages & BBQ Eel in the Claypot Rice. With a dash of soy sauce, this salty, savoury & sweet profile is one that Ive enjoyed as a kid. Rice was perfectly cooked with crispy rice padding the bottom of the bowl. This also came with a generous plate of Chinese broccoli in Hoisin sauce, and a refreshing light chicken soup. This was a hearty meal with nutritious value. I can see why its a classic dish for many on chilly days. My wife preferred to order noodles that are on the new items menu. It was her usual order of Beef Brisket Noodles. She seemed satisfied but compared to my meal, the noodle broth was light on flavour & rather bland. The rice noodles were ordinary, and could use the table condiments for extra salt & sauce. Better yet, just stick with the plethora of claypot rice options. I used to frequent Bamburgh Plaza and wish I still did, just to be able to dine here more regularly. For families, a bowl of claypot rice from Good Taste Casserole is a nice way to start the weekend.

Its raining slightly today, so I went to eat the claypot rice at Nuanlili. It is said that this Zhiwei claypot rice restaurant, which has been open for more than three years, is cooked to perfection. The soy sauce tastes just right, and its very cost-effective. It only costs 12.99, including pear soup and small rice noodles. Green vegetables; I also tried the sausage made from self-grinded rice milk. It tasted smooth and tough, and the rice aroma was still rich...

Wow, they really listened to what the public wanted and they went ahead and opened a bigger location, with tons of booth and seats YES! Bonus also for the short wait time for the food and also less wait time for a table when dine in was safe. Prices may have went up a little bit but where else it didnt ? They also offer noodles if rice is not your thing. Will try to convince my parents to come for a visit when it is safe as they only want CONGEE QUEEN. If the sweet soy sauce is missing, dont hesitate to ask and dont make the mistake like me of thinking the hoisin sauce bottle was the soy sauce since it was the only bottle on the table that looked like soy sauce :P The only thing that hesitates of me giving them 5 stars is the soup *yes, i know you can order pop but who needs all this sugar* The soup is the worse soup ever. It is so tasteless that it tastes like water and no, adding in salt doesnt enhance the taste. I heard the lady before talking about how she makes her soup and she has no idea why the soup turns out like that.. someone please give her a crash course on how to make good Chinese soups. Service as expected from Chinese places, they take your order, serve you and do not ask whether everything is ok or you need anything extra. Typical fast and efficient :)

Really good. So good we ordered twice in one week. The rice casseroles are tasty. The rice casseroles are surprisingly very good. Despite being takeout, the restaurant manages to recreate the crunchy, crispy clay pot rice experience with their takeout containers. Something to keep in mind is that the rice casseroles are the same except for the toppings, and thats how I would describe it. The ingredient choices sit only on the top surface layer of the rice casseroles. They are not mixed into the casserole. I recommend anything with BBQ Eel. Or anything else really. All the choices weve had have been tasty and delicious. This might be also why each of their rice casseroles came with a small container of boiled leafy Chinese greens, container of house soup, and soya drink. The Chinese greens are boiled with a little bit of oil and salt for flavouring. The house soup comes with a piece of apple, and a couple pieces of other Chinese ingredients. Also comes with extra soy sauce in mini containers. The greens, soup, and soya milk are alright. Theyre nice extras. The rice rolls are pretty good. I imagine they would be better fresh from the kitchen as opposed to takeout style. Beef Brisket (Beef Stew on the receipt) is tasty. Smooth, chewy yet soft. Like the rice casserole, the meat is only on the surface. Its mostly lettuce. Despite this, we ordered it again. The takeout packaging is very clever to prevent spillage, and to emulate the clay pot experience as much as possible. Even the soya milk is contained within their own special plastic bag to be stackable. Cant comment on the service because Ive never tried it in person. Available on food apps. Would order directly from the restaurant but I suspect youll have difficulties communicating unless you speak Chinese. In any case, I would recommend trying the rice casseroles and the beef brisket.

Best bang for your buck. If youre hungry and you know it, come in here.! About ten dollars will get you a lot of rice and a drink. The rice is well made and very flavorful. Only reasons why its 3 out of 5 is the service was kinda.... well, being my first time here, I had to guess the process to order and take it upon myself to grab a menu. It was confusing. Anyways, more importantly, second reason is the soy sauce that goes with the rice. I would prefer something thicker and tastier. The one offered seemed a bit watered down. I dont think its a very good tasting soy sauce compared to others Ive had.

That day it was Tremella and Snow Pear Pork Ribs Soup. I liked it very much. It is good quality and cheap. Then, the reason for deducting stars is that there is only one waiter in the store and he is busy all the time. It looks very hard.
