Cho Cho Cho, you are great at what you do - Westernized "Chinese" delivery.
However, they do have some authentic off-menu items that you can ask them to make which are very tasty.
I have always had consistent delivery service which is friendly, fast, and tasty. The portions are great for the money (I ALWAYS have leftovers), the food arrives hot, the delivery and phone people are very polite and friendly, and it has real flavor versus being overly saturated with soy sauce, grease, or msg.
What more can you ask for?? -

When you're craving cheap Chinese food and want delivery for less, Cho Cho Cho is the place to call. They offer free delivery for $14 which is awesome, and the food arrives hot.
However, the food is where Cho Cho Cho loses the stars. My experiences have been hit and miss at this place. The appetizers I've ordered (Crispy Wontons and Chicken Balls) have been good, but the entrees I've had (Singapore Rice Noodle and Beef Flat Noodles) have been misses.
The convenience of the delivery is what will bring me back to this place. Hopefully, I come across an entree dish I love. -

Deciding to eat at Cho Cho Cho was mostly because it was the closest chinese place to my house. And I had read online that they had orange chicken so honestly, I'll try orange chicken anywhere.
The staff was very friendly. I wasn't expecting it honestly. I'm not sure why. But it took me off guard how nice they were. I ordered take out. Orange chicken and fried rice. If you order it right there, you can watch them make it. The kitchen is all open. Its basically all that place is. Its a kitchen with a counter to order at and some benches to sit and wait.
When I got home with the food I was pleasantly surprised. The fried rice was delicious. And while the chicken wasn't really orange chicken...I think it was actually lemon chicken it was still pretty good. The only thing I found a bit annoying is that there were far more vegetables in my chicken dish then actual meat. A little disappointing.
I will more than likely try this place again. I'd probably go for something else on the menu though. Their appetizers look pretty awesome. -

Cho Cho Cho is my favorite Chinese delivery in Toronto. The food is delicious, the delivery is fast, and the prices are unbeatable! You can get a full meal delivered to your door for less than $18. That's something you don't see everyday.
I always order the dinner for one combo which includes your choice of 1 appetizer, 1 entree, and one rice for $13.79. Delivery is free if the total comes to $14.00 before taxes, so I always add an egg roll or two, to get the free delivery.
The food is pretty good. The wonton soup is a must. I always try a different entree, and I can safely say I haven't had a bad dish yet. They've all been delicious. The portions are very generous, and one dinner for one combo can easily feed two people.
Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! -

Hey, remember when Ho-Lee Chow went bankrupt? It was all over the news when it happened. People wondered what would happen to the franchisees.
They can stop wondering. It seems like many of the locations are still in business under different names, peddling Chinese-Canadian classics without the support of a single head office.
Cho Cho Cho would appear to be one of these outlets. On the south side of St. Clair, Cho-cubed anchors a multicultural strip between Jamaican, Latin and Italian neighbourhoods, which suits the cuisine very well. It's the kind of non-ethnic "Chinese" food that grad students write theses about these days. In the middle of clearly defined ethnic neighbourhoods, Triple Cho presents a classic Canadianized take on Chinese classics, so the food is unrecognizable to true Sinophiles. However it suits when you're looking for something deep-fried and sweet.
3 Cho Night has a sit-down restaurant which sits empty most nights in favour of a thriving takeout business. Their website features a photo shopped Ho-Lee Chow menu, right down to the playful descriptions attaches to house specialities. I wonder if the present owner operated as a franchisee before; and if so, whether the menu is a violation of intellectual property law.
Takeout arrives fast and for the most part, hot. Appetizers trump mains, which are often inconsistent. Egg rolls and spring rolls arrive hot and crispy, with bright vegetables and well-seasoned meat. Hot and sour soup is both, and loaded with chicken, tofu and other veg. Wontons are tasty, but the soup is horribly salty. Pork potstickers are past their peak, but satisfy a late-night dumpling craving.
As mentioned, mains are hit and miss. Portions are huge, but the food itself isn't always top-grade. Chicken balls are battered heavily. I avoid the gooey sweet and sour sauce. Sauces are generally indistinguishable from each other. Szechuan and Kung Pao come with a tonne of vegetables, but register more peanut butter than heat. General Tso chicken is a gross (and I mean gross) disappointment. Chicken is petrified beyond chewing. It's sauce seems like little more than Sweet and Sour with a few chili flakes and less food coloring. It sits on a bed of unsalted steamed broccoli, which is properly cooked but does little on the plate other than turning the General's batter into mush. Better to go with the Cantonese chow mein, which offers a bright mix of vegetables and an orgy of meat/seafood on top of lightly crisped noodles. BBQ pork fried rice is enough food for an army. Other than starchy peas, it elicits no complaints.
Forest Hill is not known for it's Chinese restaurants. Cho Cho Cho operates at a level well below China House (which also delivers), but for a safe, inexpensive late-night feed, I would ride this train.Listed in: Have Yourself a Freilechen…
