House of Chan

An absolute institution in Toronto. Seems like an unconventional spot for some of the best quality steak and seafood you'll be able to find. Nicest owner as well.

Have had both steak and crab here and both were excellent, you can get equally good steak for a similar price at many other steakhouses in Toronto but the seafood stood out to me. Side dishes weren't anything special but are included with some orders. It's not cheap but service was very friendly and to me it was worth it.

Consistency is the truest measure of performance. Hitting Chan for 20 years. Always perfect

My boyfriend and I were on the hunt for a good steak restaurant. We’ve tried The Keg and Outback, which were both good. Recently, we decided to try House of Chan on Eglinton. From the outside, the restaurant gives off an elegant and serious vibe, with its jade green color and red and gold accents. However, looks can be deceiving. The restaurant is not very large; it feels more like a fine dining Chinese restaurant. We sat in a booth, and while the servers were nice, our experience was ultimately disappointing. We ordered steak, which was decent but tasted like something I could cook at home. It felt like a $50 steak, but we paid $88 and $90 for each! The price was definitely not justified. House of Chan is located in a wealthy neighborhood in Eglinton, so I can see why some people might be drawn to it. They can afford to eat overly expensive chinese food! Maybe the chinese food was good, but we didn't try any. Based on our experience with the steak, the price is not worth it. If this place has a 4.5-star rating, the reviewers were probably paid. On TripAdvisor, it's rated 3.5, which seems more accurate. P.s the Martini sucks ! Never going back!!!! We felt we were robbed! Thats alot of money! But oh well! And its my bday!! Smh In summary, do not order steak here. It's not worth the price. This is my honest review.

Service was great! Couldn’t say that about the food. The food is ok but definitely overpriced, think it’s because of the area but I came here off of the reviews. Don’t like leaving not so great reviews but spending $90 ish plus for 3 dishes with quality that I could have got from a takeout spot I really thought it would be more..should have gone to mandarin if I knew the quality would be like this (no offence to mandarin) I’m simply comparing price with quality and for me I’ve had better, much better. 3/5 and that got bumped based on the great service nonetheless.

The 42 Oz US Prime Steak was unbelievable! The rest of the food was also very tasty. Service was excellent !! House of Chan was packed with people and now I know why. For sure we will return. Highly recommend.

The House of Chan is probably one of the best steakhouses in Toronto yet is simultaneously one of the best Chinese restaurants in Toronto. It is definitely worth a visit. No reservations though! The first thing you're thinking when you see this restaurant is "what cuisine is this? Is this Chinese food or a steakhouse or some fusion stuff?" The answer is that the House of Chan is both. This family-run place serves amazing steaks much like any other upscale steakhouse (pricy!) as far as I can tell. It also serves extraordinary Chinese food that you can get with or instead of the steaks. It's a great restaurant to go with vegetarians for this reason. In terms of my actual enjoyment of the food, I got the prime rib steak with a side of potatoes and (fried?) onions. The steak was one of the best steaks I've ever had and the potatoes were also very good. I'll let the photos of the other food speak for themselves since I didn't eat all of those, but according to the people I was with the food was also great. The service was also terrific, and I constantly was getting refills whenever I needed more water or whatever else. Great staff. The reason why this place doesn't have many reviews on Google Maps already is because it has a primarily older customer base. This isn't that surprising given that the restaurant looks like it's from a 50s movie, is somewhat dark, and has a bar. But hey, it's got amazing food and I'm not going to give it a 4 because the decor isn't trendy. The people who run the House of Chan have been here for decades and know what they have. This place was packed on the Tuesday night where we went there for a reason. Go here if you want to eat at one of the last authentic Toronto restaurants and don't mind paying $60 for a really good steak (the Chinese food is cheaper).

One of a kind in Toronto. Both Western and Asian dishes are very ok. Reasonable price for a tomahawk steak with excellent quality. House fried rice is also good. Surprise of the night was the onion fries. Really good. But skip the sizzling seafood platter, it's not served on any sizzling hot plate and quantity is skimpy.
