We’ve been going to Sandy’s for years, and for the first time, we were disappointed in our dinner. We ordered 9 dishes so we had a good sampling. Most of them were either tasteless, too sweet, or too salty. Everything tasted artificial, and there didn’t seem to be any ginger or garlic. I don’t even want to eat the leftovers. I’m guessing a change of ownership. Very sad, this was a go-to place for us for about a decade.

I don’t know why I slept on this place, but I’ve been getting their daily special and it hits! I be like… General Tao W/ the vegetable fried rice. Don’t sleep, go get it.

I used to work near the area and would be here once or twice a week. I think they just need an extra hand to maintain the cleanliness of the restaurant and help with answering phone calls/orders as it can get really busy during the weekends. I always see the lady running back and forth to take care of guests and to run the orders which I know is very tiring. Otherwise, this restaurant offers cheap price with big portions and good food too! 👍🏼 I’ll be coming back soon! 😊

Great portions at great prices. Really good fried chicken wings that came with the take out order after hitting the minimum. Everything was very tasty except the sweet and sour pork. It's my favorite dish, but it was very disappointing. Tasted like orange chicken which was weird, would not recommend this dish. Would recommend and come back to try other dishes.

Located at 2093 Danforth Ave, Toronto, ON M4C 1K1, just a short 2-4 minute walk from Woodbine subway station, Sandy's Restaurant is a Chinese culinary gem that promises a delightful dining experience. The Chinese staff members are not only warm and friendly, but also demonstrate exceptional care and attention when preparing the food. One of the standout qualities of Sandy's Restaurant is its affordable prices, despite a recent increase. You can still enjoy a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. For those dining solo, I highly recommend trying their special combo options, specifically the Fish and Tofu with Steamed Rice (item 121), the Eggplant and Tofu with Steamed Rice (item 123) and Sliced Beef and Mixed Vegetables with Steamed Rice (item 102). These flavourful dishes are personal favourites and provide generous portions that will surely satisfy your hunger. They are the perfect choices for a single person looking for a complete and fulfilling meal. When it comes to soups, I recommend opting for the Wonton Soup. While I personally didn't enjoy the Egg Drop Mushroom Soup as much, the Wonton Soup is a true winner, offering a delightful blend of flavours that will warm your soul. Lastly, I can't recommend enough the Broad Ho-Fan with Beef in Seasonal Soya Sauce. This dish, as showcased in the picture accompanying this review, is a mouthwatering delight that's perfect for sharing among two people. The flavours of the beef, wide rice noodles, and the seasonal soya sauce come together harmoniously, creating a satisfying and memorable culinary experience. Overall, Sandy's Restaurant is a hidden gem on Danforth Avenue. With its friendly staff, affordable prices, and delectable dishes, it promises a culinary adventure worth exploring. Don't miss out on the special combo options, the flavourful Wonton Soup, and the indulgent Broad Ho-Fan with Beef in Seasonal Soya Sauce. Visit Sandy's Restaurant for a delightful Chinese dining experience that will leave you craving more.

Wanted to taste some yummy Chinese food from one of the local businesses and Google recommended them. Seeing 4.3 avg. rating encouraged us to try it out. No complaints about service, it was warm and friendly. However, the food was not. It's true that they give you a huge amount to fill your belly but if your tongue couldn't taste anything, what's the point of filling your belly? Mongolian Chicken with steamed rice had more cabbage to cover the whole thing (see picture). Even if that was tasty, I wouldn't complain. It was dripping with sauce and no taste. Sweet and Sour Pork usually is a safe bet, with chicken fried rice, it looked good but tasted nothing. The pork was full with sauce, and fried rice was hard as hell. Overall, not a good experience. Having less faith in these Google ratings lately. I guess most 5-star people went there to fill their belly with cheap offers rather than taste something good at a reasonable price. No hard feelings to the owners, they were good, just not the food we paid for.

The food is amazing! Great portions and the prices are reasonable. This is a family owned restaurant which has been in the community for years. My family and I have been coming here for years and I can honestly say they never disappoint. You have to check out this hidden gem!

I bought a vegetable fried rice and there wasnt any vegetables in it, it taste ok, I eat it and pointed out to the cook and the server that there wasnt any vegetables in the vegetable fried rice, they said its very fine and difficult to see the vegetables and next time they will add vegetables. I eat the fried wings too wasnt to my liking, the food is ok if youre hungry and I will go back to try other dishes.

Lived in this area for 10 years, which is also how long I ve been going to Sandy s. Jimmy (the main owner) was amazing.. The food was always amazing!! I ve realized that they have new owners now and I m not exactly sure what happened to Jimmy? Ive also realized that since the new owners have been there, the quality of the food and taste has changed tremendously. Don t get me wrong I have nothing against these new owners, they are very nice people, but I just wish they had left the food, the recipes and the taste of everything as it was

One of my very favourite finds as I moved into the neighborhood. Price is right and portion sizes are large. I generally go with Mongolian Beef on top of Fried Rice. It is a winner. Canadian Chinese food can be pretty hit or miss but they generally hit it here.

I slipped in for a quick lunch and had the Cantonese chow mein. The Google Maps reviewers who said the portions were generous were absolutely correct but the reviewers who said there was too much corn starch in the sauce were also right. The chicken & beef were good quality, the carrots & broccoli were fresh & perfectly cooked & the noodles were scrumptious so its too bad about the cornstarch. I realize that its needed for thickening the sauce - I just advise less of it! That said, their lunch specials are below 10$ and Id go back at noontime if I was in the area again - Id just avoid saucy dishes in the future.

Awful

December 22, 2023

Used to love ordering from Sandys, it used to be our go-to when we wanted to order out, but it has been incredibly difficult to get a hold these days and today even after getting someone on the phone... we never got our food. We waited 2.5hrs and there was nothing, we tried calling after the 1.5hr mark to cancel the order but as I said earlier... its impossible to get through. Eventually a driver showed up and I answered the door holding the dinner I ultimately ended up cooking for myself. If you can get through, and if they actually take your order, and if they actually deliver it... get the ginger beef, its great, assuming it gets delivered.

December 22, 2023

After waiting 60 minutes for delivery, I called to be told they had not even started cooking it. No call nothing.

This is not a fancy place, but the food is plentiful and relatively cheap. They have a lot of options to choose from and several specials. I have only ever done take out. Its my go-to Chinese food restaurant in the Woodbine/Danforth area. I usually get the bok choy + beef, and the rice+chicken+veggie special, and spring rolls. Nothing fancy, but if you dont feel like cooking or spending a lot of money itll do!

This place is garbage! 3 of us ordered 3 different dishes, and it all looked and tasted the same. Disgusting. I felt sick after a few bites. Please do not go there and do not waste your time and money. It is way below Canadian standards. They didnt even have coffee, and the waitress didnt care about anything. My God what a disgrace for the Danforth.

A neighbourhood institution, but really not that great. Food was just average, service was not great--guy got my phone number mixed up, my order took 10 minutes longer than he said it would, and then sat as he debated me for another 10 minutes (who else would order the exact same 5 dishes, with options, that I would have?) about whether it was mine or not, before hed let me pay and take my food. Gotta manage your expectations when the menu includes everything from Cantonese, to Sichuan, to Hakka, to chicken wings and poutine.

December 22, 2022

I figured with a 4.3 star rating this should be good right? Wrong. It took an hour and a half for this to arrive and it would narrowly pass as food. If you like dough with sweet and sour sauce on it ( I guess chicken and pork where optional) than go for it.Our dogs ate well and the rest went in the garbage. Bad bad bad . You ve been warned.

Local Guide
December 22, 2022

I was hoping for authentic Chinese. I guess that most of their customers and reviewers love mostly deep fried dough wrapped meat. I understand, but . I am a bit sad that more of their packaged egg roll is caught in my teeth than got down my throat.

Delicious food, great service, amazing prices and huge portion sizes!!! Definitely would get takeout or dine in again here! The decor left a bit to be desired though. Strangely Christmas decorations were still on the walls and counters in Aug! Dining room is ok but not great ambiance or anything (ie very casual). All seating is hard wood so the booths and chairs arent comfortable at all. But my biggest criticism is the bathrooms. It reeked of moth balls and urine. Smelled like cat urine or a litterbox actually but it was so bad I couldnt stand it without a mask and I could barely endure it with a mask on.

The food was good. Not the best Chinese Ive had in Toronto, but its decent. Ordeded the chicken lo mein, and sweet and sour chicken...both were good, portions were good. Also ordered the Mongolian Beef and once I dug around in the mountain of cabbage and found a few pieces to try, yes it was good but here they definitely skimped out. There was literally barely any beef to be found...paid $11 bucks for cabbage basically. Overall, the order in whole was decent. Would probably order again.

Thank you for being on Danforth for so long

Great place with a ton of different cuisines and flavours! Thai, Hakka, Chinese, Malaysian and everything genuinely tastes authentic. Portions are big and cooked well! Prices are reasonable! There are soups, noodle and rice dishes, curries, vegetarian (if you want anything modified) and they will adjust spice levels for you as you ask. Very nice Asian gentleman who is the owner and he is kind as can be! The place is clean and one of the few spots on the east end of the Danny that does Asian food well! Definitely worth a visit!

The daily specials are great value for $7.99, containers are packed full and delicious. The $6.99 wings and fries are also a favourite. Quick and friendly service, great take out spot!

First time ordering for take out. The lady was friendly and helpful. The food was TASTY. Shanghai noodles were incredible, mixed vegetables so fresh and cooked to perfection. Hot and sour soup was good, though they put green peppers in which threw it off a little for me. I cant wait to try other dishes!! Very reasonably priced..wished I lived in the hood for free delivery!!

Been going to this place for years. The General Tao & Mongolian Chicken is a must, the wings are the best.

Delicious, consistent, comfort food at a good value. They have really good poutine and chicken wings. Forget about the Chinese food on the suburbs, this place makes good authentic Chinese food plus Chinese Canadian classics like sweet and sour chicken balls.

On their website it says Always open for the holidays. What a crock. This places lights were off without so much as a closed sign. Fortunately we found somewhere that really was open. Check out Sea Spray close by.

Amazing! Affordable, huge plates with that authentic Chinese touch. Beef Ho Fun, Salt and Pepper Pork (spicy) and Shanghai noodles shown here. The pork was perfect with red and green chillies, noodles were done right and heaping plates. Our host was so friendly and attentive, knee it was our first time. The older gentleman served our last dish right from the kitchen with a genuine smile and casually joked with us about our chopstick use and request for small bowls instead of plates. You are 100%!! Three massive dishes with our intent of leftovers, but nothing made it out the door, it was too darn tasty! All of this, tea and water and two bottles of beer for just under $40. Make a point of checking this place out. Its clean and warm, the furniture might be a little dated but that adds to the authenticity.

In terms of the venue the place is a little out dated but the food is good. Usually get the chicken fried rice and sweet and sour pork. The poutine was okay. Could have been better but not horrible.

So yes, the food isnt the best Chinese food youve ever had, and the atmosphere is kinda weird and too bright. Yes, they can get overwhelmed when theyre busy (more than 7 orders at the same time) and the service can suffer. But I still really enjoy the food and find the staff really kind and polite. I pop in and place my order, then go do a little bit of browsing or shopping and value village and pick up the food when Im done. Generally 15-20 mins later. The specials menu is really affordable and I can pick up dinner for me and my partner for under 20 dollars thats been freshly made. Definitely worth it in my opinion.

Lousy service. The owner yelled at me when I went in (What do you want?! Food?!) and was pressing me to choose faster. The food was ready in less than 5min (which made me worry about the integrity and freshness) and was not tasty at all. Worst sweet and sour chicken balls Ive ever had.

Got the general Tao w/ fried rice combo. As a student living in the woodbine dan area, I found Sandys to be the best value for your money Chinese around. Food was great, portion generous, significantly more affordable than the rest of the thai restaurants here..
