Cynthia's Chinese Restaurant - Thornhill

We made our order for food at 5:00 for a 9pm pick up. As we were driving in to pick our food up they called us to tell us it would be another hour meaning our food would be ready at 10 pm, over an hour later. I understand getting busy, if it has been a problem they should have called well before. Been eating here for years, and will never ever be back. They lost out only not only my business, but my families business. A shame they couldn’t figure out how to get food don’t that was ordered 4 hours in advance.

This restaurant is so authentic with the waiters wearing costumes like you’re in china. The food was delicious and didn’t take too long. Would 100% come back.

Love Cynthia's, good quality meat compared to other Chinese places. However, they need to work on their consistency. Today my black bean chicken was sitting in water, which it never has before over many years of ordering this dish. Unfortunately, it also tasted like water when typically black bean sauce is quite salty. Hoping it was a one off. I still recommend this restaurant, I just hope they work on consistency.

Excellent food and wonderful waiter. We miss the lunch special… We arrived at 3:10 so it was a little pricey and we were the only ones in the restaurant but the food was great! I'm guessing it's busy during lunch and for dinner but we were just there at an odd time.

Tried this place last night for the first time for dinner. We got the lobster and fried rice. The food was spectacular and the service was of a very high level. The place is charming and clean.

Cynthia's Chinese Restaurant in Thornhill offers an authentic and delightful Chinese dining experience. The staff, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, contribute to the ambiance. During our visit, we were treated to live music, which added a special touch to our experience. The dishes we had tonight, especially the Hot and Sour Soup, General Tao Chicken, and Sizzling Garlic Beef, stood out for their exceptional taste. However, it's worth mentioning that their other dishes are equally excellent. Highly recommended for its authenticity, quality, and warm hospitality.

Have been to Cynthias a couple of times and also ordered takeout. The food is usually excellent: well presented, fresh, and generous portions. We started with spring rolls then had the spicy tofu, General Tao chicken, crispy, broccoli and mushrooms, and steamed rice. Between three people there was enough of each to take home another serving. The restaurant has interesting, decor and ambience. It is slightly loud and we were at a table in the middle of the room. They have plenty of staff, so it is a well oiled machine working very quickly together. They refilled our green tea attentively, which was wonderful, and when the dishes first arrive, they will serve you as well. They packaged the leftovers. It was busy (Sunday 6-7) and there were a couple birthdays- they will make a fuss for you. We had ice cream and almond cookies for dessert. I was considering a coffee but didn’t have a chance since things suddenly became quite rushed. Fortune cookies, and hot hand towels were provided, which is a thoughtful touch. We were presented with the bill, and the machine was brought right away. However, we were not even finished eating. The bill was also presented to my friend (who happen to be a man) instead of my mother, who was actually paying. Not a huge deal, but the server should ask, not assume. It was actually his birthday and we were treating him. My 85 year old mother needs a few minutes to get organized, (as she was interrupted finishing her dessert) and was uncomfortable to have the staff waiting. I did not understand why there was such pressure to leave. Perhaps there was an incoming reservation, but I did not see a lineup/ people waiting for the table. We definitely felt like we were being pushed out the door which was very unpleasant, considering the meal had been so wonderful. Accessible with parking. A bit loud for hearing impaired.

The overall rating at 3.9 really doesn't do this restaurant justice. It's clean, offers great service, as well as delicious and quality food. I think it deserves at least a 4.5 overall rating. We had the B Set for 2 which is at $35.95 each. Every one of the dishes was good! We enjoyed the starters which comprised the Hot and Soup, Wonton Soup (quality meat!), Fried Chicken Dumplings, Spring Rolls, and Samosas (yum!). The mains - Lemon Chicken, Fried Garlic Shrimps, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Veggie Noodles - were tasty too! Glad we came here despite the rating. Recommended!
