Donlands Garden Chinese Restaurant

Ordered food from this place to be delivered for a small special occasion and honestly, the food was pretty good. Got my food in record time and everything was nice and hot. It was through UberEats and they had some deals. Got 2 orders of wings, chicken fried rice and coke cans each, plus an order of shanghai noodles. The flavours of the wings and fried rice were great, nicely seasoned. Shanghai noodles were good too, flavour just was slightly different compared to other shanghai noodle dishes in other Chinese places so I wasn't into it personally. Doesn't have that dark soy sauce colour. The whole process to get my food was 20 minutes, including the actual delivery time, which kind of scared me. And honestly was scared to order here at first given the past reviews, but I wouldn't shy away from ordering here again. Everything I ordered was overall delicious.

I ordered twice from here, and both times was extremely disappointed. First time around the food was just bland no flavour at all.... Second time the chicken was dry and so rubbery we had to throw out the chicken fried rice and the chicken balls I nearly chocked on from being so dry. Definitely not going to order from there again, even though they are just steps away from where I live.

This used to be my go-to Chinese restaurant. Great quality ingredients, tasty food, and fast delivery. Unfortunately, like the other recent reviewer, have been experiencing issues with their chicken. I used to love the chicken balls, but the second last time I found a piece of gristle attached to bone which was unpleasant. I tried to give them another chance, and the last time the chicken was mostly gristle. Very poor quality and such a shame, because I want to return to my favourite take out place! Hopefully they change suppliers soon. Lovely amounts of vegetables in all dishes and the sauces are still tasty. The place is generally good value.

We used to enjoy this Chinese take out. It was our simple, good value, go-to choice when we didn't want to cook. But something has changed, the chicken is so dry and so rubbery now. We enjoyed the chicken balls, but it's just not good anymore. Their other dishes are still good, but nothing with chicken. Hopefully they change their supplier.

My first time ordering food from this place and I am very disappointed, on the menu, almost everything was labeled mouthwatering, but this is a bit big. The order was missing a dish, and they sent the wrong soup; the beef was gooey and pretty tasteless. I was shocked this restaurant has so many good reviews. I hope it is just one busy day.

Not sure how this place has positive reviews. The chicken they use, in their Kung Pao dish in this case, tastes like either a fake soy product or otherwise a pre cooked and frozen product from a distributor that races to the bottom. It’s thin, sinewy, gluey, rubbery, and gelatinous. The vegetables and sauce are great but completely undone by inedible meat. Far too many places in Toronto use this kind of chicken and I’m just left wondering why people are so OK with this stuff. If you ever get chicken breast that isn’t cubed in a dish like this be very wary that you’re probably getting a prepackaged frozen product that deserves to be in the garbage and not your plate.

Kept seeing this place pop up on my Uber eats so I ordered (**from the restaurant so they didn’t have to pay any Uber fees) we got a lemon Chicken , Lo Meir noodles, Shrimp pad Thai, deep fried butterfly shrimp and spring rolls. They even threw in free chicken wings ! The guy who took my order on the phone was so nice and our bill was under $50 which is rare for a Chinese food order in this house. Whoever does the deep frying there is the teal MVP because let me tell you, the batter on the lemon chicken and spring rolls was absolute FIRE!!! We will definitely order from here again.
