Sun Star Chinese Cuisine

This is a dumpy looking hole-in-the-wall and if you know Chinese restaurants, you know this place must be serious eats. And IT IS! There is not one dish I've had at this place that disappoints me. Staff is prompt (like no small talk, no smiles, CLASSIC), gets your order, tell you the specials and kitchen get to work. I can't read Chinese, so I'm probably missing out on all the Chinese specials on the wall, maybe I'll try google lens next time and decipher everything. You don't go to No Frills to cry about it being no frills. Atmosphere is exactly what I'd expect from a place like this, its clean, no fuss, no decor, you don't like it, you're not serious about Chinese food. Best snow pea shoots in town, its tender every single time so you know they've meticulously picked out all the chewy bits :chefs kiss:. It's definitely what I consider a hidden gem. I've been to Chinese "banquet halls" restaurants with less impressive food (you know, the ones with the traditional tacky decor). My only complaint is seafood selection is pretty "selective" on any given day (aka not available), the live-tank looks pretty piss-poor. Still, I ain't knocking it any stars because seafood effin expensive anyways, ain't nobody got time (or money) for that.

As very dated Cantonese Chinese Good place. Price is average and so is the food. If you don't have other choices in this area of North York then this place is acceptable for a quick lunch

We came here to celebrate Morher’s Day as mother requested this place for nostalgia. We ordered a few dishes and all the dishes came out really good. Even the chicken here turned out much better that we thought it would. Our favorite dishes were the Crispy Oysters and the Pork Neck with Snow Peas. Even after so many years mama still approves!

Anytime a place looks 'run down', it'll be a good place to dine. We stopped by for a quick bite and we ordered the Yung Chow Fried Rice. Great flavour, and they weren't stingy either. We have yet to try their other dishes but this is a place to check out.

Service was very quick & tentative. Rare to see at a Chinese restaurant. The food was delicious and the price was reasonable. There's English translation on the menu but no photo. I managed to order by viewing pictures from previous Google reviews.

We had reservation for a table of 6 at 8:00 pm on Friday. They accepted our reservation, but told us that the restaurant closed at 9:00 pm. So we just ordered their combo for 6 (to save time to review their menu) which includes: - Crab meat and fish maw soup (very tasty soup) - Steamed half chicken (taste not bad) - Abalone mushroom w/ baby boy choy & mushroom (taste ok, but not enough “wok chi”) - Fried honey chili w/ beef tenderloin (taste was just ok, nothing special) - Twin lobster w/ ginger & green onion sauce (taste ok, but not impressive) - Steamed seasoned fish (very fresh fish and taste was good) In Toronto, there are many more good Chinese restaurants that I can go to. So it is likely that I won’t rush to go back again.

A nice 'hidden' authentic Cantonese restaurant in Bayview Woods Plaza at Finch and east of Bayview. Decent food quality, portions were generous. Restaurant decor was dated but very clean. Service was a bit laid back but friendly in general. Prices were reasonable. Will definitely go back.

My go-to restaurant whenever eating with family. The food is consistently good here. You can customize your dishes by telling them less oil and/or sodium and they will actually do it! Many other restaurants, the waiter will tells you “yes” but the dishes will still come out very salty and oily. I am so glad to see they are surviving through COVID.
