Vic H. covered Szechuan Legend quite well so I'll just put some additions into the Dum Sum I had. It's located in the Scarboro Village Plaza which is extremely busy as one of the main spots of Chinese food during Lunch and Dinner. If you come at…More »
Me... and my fellow elder generation Friends do tend to have a "THING" for places that stir up our memories of the good ol' past. Let them KIDS hang out at their Starbucks while I reminisce from the classical theme design of Shaanxi Legend. Don't…More »
As much as DTF has some of the best Xiao Long Bao in Canada...
My Family/Relatives or even Friends rarely if never suggest to eat here.
I'm not sure their reasoning for selection process but that's fact.
Another fact is I have a different preference for…More »
Weird name for a Chinese place, YES I agree. Can't find this place online anywhere so I'm just going to use what I read from their sign.
Next to MOO, we walked in at NOON behind a few young gentlemen so it must be open for business, right? It was…More »
*Fascinating Mom/Pop Dumpling experience*
After eating here at Dumpling King, I believe one of the West-coast "Hole in the Wall" Yelper would eat this up. Never got to meet him, at least I think he's a HIM. I'm sending you off the beaten path if you…More »
I followed the YELP address for Mother's Dumplings and found Family Dumpling House instead! Like one of the Yelpers on the Mother's Dumpling review wrote, the NEW address is 421 Spadina however 79 Huron St. has Family Dumpling House.
From the reviews…More »
Yang's hopefully can be a long term restaurant here as they have a simple concept which fits great with the elderly husband and wife crew. The Menu headings is easy to read with the most popularly known Northern Chinese. The items under the main…More »

Brand NEW Shanghai restaurant in the Sheppard & Brimley area of Scarborough and it looks like possible competition for Asian Legend diagonally across the intersection.

What's Yunnan Cross Bridge Rice Noodle? Why don't I let the experts tell you instead of me making this into a 30 page essay assignment? If you like some HISTORY or CULTURE behind your food then take a look.

F1. Lamb Offal Soup($4.99) became the DAILY special when I went back making it even more affordable(-$0.98), however I had to Noodle them instead. After my Meal 2nd-time around, I would suggest to simply take the Daily Special option if you decide…More »

Not as much BBQ in the Traditional sense.
Does Kebabs count in your world of BBQ?
If it does, there's plenty of choices here.
Seasoned the Northern Chinese way.
Flavours of spices such as cumin seeds, chilis.
Think of it like a Chinese BBQ Rub.

A couple of us crazies were in need of our daily Medicine and Taste of Heaven was the choice of the day. It is Chinese Herbal Medicine prepared as part of the meal. That might sound weird to most of you but Chinese Medicine is all natural/herbal as…More »
We ordered the Peking Duck Dinner Special and there are definitely Pros & Cons to this meal. As for the decor it isn't bad at all with some faux Shanghai skyline wall, a small indoor WATER FOUNTAIN and even a CN Tower-like structure in the middle of…More »
Requirement: Bring your CANADIAN personality here.
If you're fluent in Canadian, that's perfect but if you're Chinese like myself you'll actually be a little disoriented at this Chinese Restaurant. Maybe it's the Pan Asian Bistro theme that did it.…More »
Kung Fu Duck is neither a Martial Arts Studio or a Disney Movie. It is another Wuhan(Chinese) Duck Specialty Shop. You might remember The Hot Duck from one of my previous reviews, this is of the same nature. It's unfortunate that there was no…More »
I stood there LOOKING up at the banner saying "The Hot Duck", a tiny take-out shop in the inside of the plaza right across from the grocery store. The attendant spoke to me, "What would it be, HANDSOME?" Of course that is a normal greeting in Hong…More »
Driving into the plaza around 4:30pm or so, I felt snack craving or maybe the Night Market @Metro was warping my brain. Lots of selection but as for SMALL portion snackin', I looked at Lin's Chinese Bun knowing that it should be affordable snackin'.…More »
Prairie Lamb Kabob is pretty much a 1-person operation that you're probably familiar if you have been around the Spadina & Dundas area. A tiny Yakitori-style corner at the very back hidden Heritage Town in 2nd level Pacific Mall... Near the…More »
Drove by along this stretch of neighbourhood that has nothing whatsoever, so when I saw a plaza with some signs of LIFE I took a U-turn and drove towards the light. I didn't know what to expect from afar but the closer I got the more I saw the…More »
It was my idea to visit Hot Spicy Spicy because I remember from previous visits to this plaza that from the outside, they advertise Beef Noodle and that is a natural attraction for me. 2.5 *Star*
Inside has similar ambiance as other North Chinese…More »
This ain't no Tassimo's Barcode.
It doesn't follow proper instructions.
I thought the outside was ghetto.
Inside was even more suspicious.
It's amazing that the Food is edible.
The Food is Meh to A-OK at best.
I suggest you be Risk-Averse.
