Excellent food. New tastes. Friendly staff. I learned about Tianjin while I was there. Not many places are open at 730 AM and their doors were open a but earlier.

It's close to authentic northern Chinese breakfast, but a little too salty for our tastes. The youtiao was a highlight. Food was ready pretty fast, less than 10 minutes.

Super authentic Tianjin breakfast and brunch place. I been here a few times now and I will keep flying back to Canada Toronto to visit this place. The owner is actually from the same area as where I grew up as a child. Very nice guy, I can see how some people might mistaken his northern attitude as mean or rude. Also, is very hard for him to speak English. ❤️Tip❤️ make sure you bring cash and wechat. Here are some must try good from here!! 1. Crepe (jian bing Guo zi) 2. Fried cruller (you tiao) and non sweet soy milk 3. Won tons (hun tun) 4. Fried lotus root 5. Tianjin Baos (green bean pork and pork onion) Here are a few to start you with. Let me know what you think.

My boyfriend loves this place and now I finally understand why. Pleasantly surprised. Steamed buns were great! And the 'sandwich' was good too, spices I've never had before. Next time we come to Toronto I will be more excited to come back here too.

This off-the-beaten-path resto is located in the heart of Toronto’s downtown Chinatown. Just a few steps north off Dundas St. it is well worth a visit. There is nothing fancy here. After descending a few stairs to the half-basement location you’ll find yourself in a small, very plain space suffused with delicious aromas. The service is efficient to the point that some people might feel that it’s brusque. Honestly, you just have to get past that. This is a small operation and the one person taking/serving orders is also responsible for packaging up the many (many) orders being picked up by Fantuan Delivery, as well as being the person responsible for settling up the bill. Be kind and just relax into the pace. Once you’ve ordered you can chill at your table as long as you like - no pressure to leave at all. For lunch we ordered four dishes: Tianjin Style Jianbing with Crispy Filling; Fried Chinese Chives Pocket; Sliced Beef (Tripe) & Ox Tongue; and, Pork and Lotus Root Fried Dumplings. Everything was made fresh and delicious. There were so many layers of complex flavours and textures (the Jianbing was particularly awesome texture-wise) each dish was a delight to devour. The spicy tripe was delicious, and the ox tongue was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The dumplings were brown and crispy on the bottom, and tender chewy on top - perfect with an accompanying black vinegar. A quick note: rather unusually for a Chinese restaurant they don’t serve tea, so that delicious and relaxing option isn’t available. Total for this delicious lunch was $61.50 (tax and tip included). Great value for money; highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious! My husband and I went to Tian Jin 8 years ago and fell in love with the Jianbing and have been trying to find here in Toronto ever since. It takes just like we remember 💕 Thank you Ayi for bringing a taste of Tian Jin to Canada 💕
