Modern Wok

This food court stall is quite different from other food court Chinese options. They don't have the usual Westernised dishes but a more 'authentic' (the term is contested, but it will suffice for a food review!) menu & there was even at least one dish I'd never seen before. The flavours here are simpler, like in Chinese home cooking (versus what you'd get at a restaurant). Had fried rice mixed with fried noodles, Sichuan boiled fish, pork with mountain vegetables, chicken with mushrooms, fried cabbage & other vegetables & dry pork ribs; the dishes were so interesting that I added some on. The carbs were decent & the dishes were pretty tasty. The fact that they don't have labels for the items suggests that the menu changes regularly, so it should pay to drop by regularly as you'll probably see something new. I went on a Friday & was told that from Tuesday to Thursday they have even more dishes.

Really went downhill in recent years. As others mentioned, some items have high hidden prices. A box of noodles with 2 items that was listed at $12.99 on the board ended up costing almost $25. Flavour and freshness have gone way downhill as well. It will be my last time here.

Affordable Chinese meals available near St. Andrew station. Both the Szechuan chicken and spicy fish with fried rice tasted delicious. Although the egg noodles for the beef brisket noodles were slightly under cooked, the brisket was juicy and delicious with their light broth.

Run-of-the-mill Chinese food, just shy of being average. If you've ever been to Szechuan or any of the other chain restaurants that offer Chinese cuisine, that's basically what you're getting here. I got chicken/rice/noodles/veggies(85% onions, eww) and it didn't taste great. The rice stood out the most, reminded me of how my Haitian father prepared it when I was young. 3 Stars because of the nostalgic rice, otherwise 2. Edible but not worth the price tag (10 bucks). Save your money, there's much better out there.

If you new in Toronto , travelling, or new arrived, just visit, have your big and delicious meal here. It is super close to Union station. On google map, the place is not right, you need to walk one more street and go down under the building. You will see the food cord. Super kind staff they have by far. Explained all food, offered me nice mix of food, and had a perfect one. There is plenty place to sit, bathroom and many other restaurants as well.

This place is my go to if I did not bring lunch on weekdays. Tasty food. Vegetarians, tell the guy over there that you are vegetarian...he will take care of your order inspite of crowd he has got to order next. Food is awesome for a cheaper price. This place accepts only cash. By evening, closing time, they offer $5 boxes of their awesome food. Once I went around 4.40 PM told the guy we were hungry that's why we came in to check if any boxes are there, he prepared noodles fresh for us post their work hours. They are so kind and inspiring.

This place offers a large amount of food for a good price. The food is typically pretty good for a fast food counter. With that said their customer service is ABYSMAL. The menu does not explain what they are offering which as I now understand consists of choosing a tray and picking the number of items that you want. The workers get annoyed at you (one grunted audibly at me) for asking them to explain what is not well explained. The owner should go over and take a look at Eat Canteen and you might learn a thing about a more understandable menu. Add on top of this that they gave me a 2 rupee coin in place of a quarter in my change just as an added bonus.

For a Chinese fast food fix and low price .. this is the place I go to all the time. Every day around lunch time, there is a long line up so it goes to show how popular this place is. they have a menu on display you can order from but if you want something more customized... they do make it for you on the spot. I know this isn't some fancy place but I give it 5 stars for good value and this place makes for a quick working lunch.
