    It totally reminds me of a small version of a Wenzhou restaurant (the nice looking ones). Menu selection is good with quality pictures to help you choose. My wife is from Wenzhou and she liked it do the authenticity is there. Only reason for the missing star is that is was a bit cold (even for a restaurant) but some hot tea fixed that.

    Zj Chinese Restaurant is worth trying out.
    Pretty, attractive and clean restaurant.

    Zj Chinese Restaurant  is not a Cantonese (Hong Kong) restaurant.
    Most likely, the restaurant owner and staff are from Mainland China  
    (instead of Hong Kong)
    so there are some dishes on the menu that you might not have seen before at a Chinese restaurant.

    Example:
    they have egg and tomato soup
    Possibly,  most Chinese eat this dish at home (Chinese home cooking food)
    but usually this dish is not seen on a Chinese restaurant menu.

    So if you're not Chinese,
    try the egg and tomato soup and see if it's good.
    Usually, you eat this dish with steamed rice
    so it's not necessarily a soup (???).

    The hot and sour soup is good.

    I did not like their version of sweet and sour fish.
    Sweet and sour fish = deep fried pieces of fish fillet dipped in flour batter
    and then deep-fried.
    Red (tomato based) sweet and sour sauce is poured on top of the fish.

    Message to the restaurant owner:
    Possibly this dish would have tasted better if you deep-fried the fish longer to make the outer coating crispier
    or the sweet and sour sauce was too thick.
    Put the sauce in a bowl
    or at the side or bottom of the plate to keep the deep fried fish crispy.

    ZJ Chinese Restaurant was not my first choice when I was looking for somewhere for lunch at New Kennedy Square. I didn't even realize that it existed since it was open recently in replace of Omega 3 Noodle.

    The menu promising 24 different selections of Lunch Specials for $5.99 includes a can of pop or soy milk drink right on the door pulled me right in!!

    Nice cushioned booth seatings made me feel right at home and I got to practised my limited vocabulary of Mandarin too!

    Braised Pork Noodle with Soy Milk Drink ($5.99) is quite good. Portion is big and noodle though not home made but was cooked al dente. Pork was tender and quite fatty.. some might enjoy the fattiness.

    The menu is nicely done with full coloured photos easy for any customers to just point or write down the item number of the food they need!

    Grand Opening Special of 10% discount if you print that ad on their website!

    I might come back to try out some of their famous Su Hong Cuisine...

    You won't be able to find more authentic Wenzhou cuisine anywhere else in Toronto.  I love the nice decor and their wonderful wenzhou dishes that reminded me of home.
