TOP asian restaurants in Toronto in 2017

The very best Chinese restaurants in Toronto represent just a fraction of the diverse variety of regional offerings available here. And though many would argue you need to head to Richmond and Markham Hill to get the real deal, Scarborough our downtown Chinatowns and areas in between still have their share of victor.

Taste of China

The incredibly cumbersome name doesn’t detract in the truth that Flavor of China is, for many, a taste of excellence. Popular among the late night crowd because of its exceptional General Tao Chicken and sizzling seafood on skillets, it’s one of those places that when you’re in downtown Chinatown, you simply need to go.

Sam Woo BBQ

This Scarborough mainstay has been meeting old-school Cantonese BBQ pork enthusiasts for more than twenty years. Perfectly crispy roast pork skin and soft BBQ pork meat combined with old-school unfussy décor makes for an awesome meal.


Asia restaurant

Rol San

This late night Chinatown favourite is consistently jam packed with those who can not get enough of their classics like hot ginger steak and ho buff noodles. Not to mention, it's an incredibly popular all-day dim sum.

House of Gourmet

This eatery near Dundas and Spadina appears lowly from the exterior but is a constant hub of action, with superior dishes like satay beef noodles and claypot tofus. It even has a devoted takeout BBQ joint, perfect for all those nights when you would like to feast on your own couch on pork or duck.

Luckee

This upscale eatery from Susur Lee inside the Soho Met features all-day dim sum, sweet-delectable fancy cocktails and Wuxi spare ribs, all served beneath the gleam of some garish quasi- stereotypical Chinese decorations and lightings.

Hong Shing Chinese Restaurant

The longstanding association near City Hall could be somewhat greasy however they make an oh-so-pleasing General Tao Chicken and Sizzling Chili Chicken. Wash it all down with cocktails with names such as the Stormy Night in Hong Kong.

Qin Tang Taste

Home to the awesomely chewy biang biang noodles and also other Shanxi specialties, this little Scarborough eatery is really the first Toronto place of a sizeable Beijing-based chain. My personal favourite? The Shanxi Sliced Noodle with Stir-Fried Pork Pieces. Delicious dish, long name.

Asian Legend

By far the largest mainstay Chinese restaurant chain in Toronto, this eatery is the spot to really go when you’re searching for a wide number of genuine Chinese offerings. I’m a big supporter of their Peking duck, along with the soup dumplings here are always on my order list.

Congee Wong (Finch and Leslie)

There are a lot of Congee Wongs near that it can make your head spin, but for my money my favourite one is the North York place. Sure it could get crowded during mealtimes, but at least it’s open late, and their Cantonese Chow Mein Fried Chili Turnip Patties never fails to make me grin.
