Before you read this review. Look at my pictures! The ones posted for Yueh Tung somehow don't capture the food very well because they look less appetizing than they really are.
If I had to describe Yueh Tung in 3 words, they'd be:
1. Cheap
2. Tasty
3. Fun
The venue of Yueh Tung looks much better than it did years ago. They renovated and have tons of large circular tables for big groups and booth seating for more privacy and comfort. Lighting in the restaurant is good as well as the large windows for natural lighting.
Like many reviewers have mentioned, their food is cheap. It's Chinese (Hakka) food so you can expect it to be fairly priced. We ordered the chicken wing stew (which has potatoes, tomatoes, and cilantro as well) and chili chicken. They were both delicious. Each dish is around $10 and bowls of rice generally cost $2. You'll get a good portion and have some to take home, no doubt.
The food tastes good. Do not let the price fool you. Just make sure to drink plenty of tea because you will get thirsty from the spices and salt. Great Hakka food.
Lastly, I want to say that the spot is fun. The people working at Yueh Tung are happy and fun people. Although their demeanor doesn't always show it, I get fun quirky dialogue whenever I'm talking to them.
Come here and give it a try. Then come back when you realize how cheap, tasty and fun the place is. Great background noise, plenty of space (especially for downtown Toronto), and fun staff make it a 5 star venue for me.
