My first time trying chiu chow food was at this restaurant. It's close to home and convenient for me.
I found the food to be delicious and had this recommended to me by family friends. I got take out last time, but I'll probably try dine in next time.
BTW, I've been to Dynasty Cuisine in the Markham region and their set meals were amazing. I found this deal on http://HungryBuy.com:

I've been going to CCB for many years, as their known for CHIU CHOW food; hence the restaurant name.
Unfortunately I stopped going to CCB as the last time I was there, we had an unexpected guest run across our table. Once we caught the unexpected guest and showed it to the server, they did nothing and not even an apology.
After this experience I never returned and looking for a new place for CHIU CHOW food.
Therefore, this rating is for the last time I was there.

A good place to have Chiu Chow style food if you are searching for an alternative to the "usual" Cantonese places.
These dishes are good when you want something light / lightly seasoned:
Bean Curd and Plum Soup (#7 in takeout menu) - tastes like a very light version of tom yum soup, non spicy
CC style stir fried fish noodles (yes, noodles made from minced and seasoned fish meat, they look like udon noodles, taste fish-y in a good way)
Kang Kong Malaysian style or Chinese style with bean sauce, yum!
Stir fried bean sprouts with minced fish, sounds strange but a tasteful combination
I also like CC style marinated dishes (app dishes), beef or beef tongue or squid.
Give it a try if you want something different. -

Yeah, I've visited this place a lot over the years. It's always been a fairly standard, solid restaurant.
Most recently, however, I had a pretty terrible experience that makes me not want to go back. For one, my fatty pork and yam dish had gone bad. As a whole, nothing seemed fresh at all. The fish was overcooked. The seaweed and tofu soup must have had four pieces of seaweed in it for a 7 person party. And while dishes being at least a bit oily is sometimes normal with Chinese cooking, I probably had enough oil to make a small fire with. The one thing I particularly enjoyed was the pork intestine, but not everyone can stomach the thought of eating that in general.
The place was fairly empty throughout the service even though it was the prime time of the evening on the weekend. I think I know why, too. Do you?
As usual, a full review with all the pictures is up on my food blog, located conveniently in my profile. Check it out! Cheers. -

Second Chiu Chow cuisine restaurant that I've visited in Toronto. We always go here at the suggestion of my uncle and he normally does the ordering. He usually orders the following:
Fish Maw Soup (yummy)
Some sort of chicken & deep fried kale concoction
Fish Noodles (the actual noodles are made from fish paste, very tasty, though some may not enjoy the texture)
Deep Fried Tofu
For dessert:
Crystal Buns (Custard, red bean & lotus flavours) - VERY yummy! My favourite is the custard flavour.
The food here is pretty good, though if I had to compare Chiu Chow Boy vs. Ming Lou, Ming Lou wins in my books.Listed in: Shotgun!, Scarberia, Quick 'n Dirty Chinese
