  • I would say only come to Xin Jiang Restaurant for their skewers as that is the only thing that's worth the price and tastes better than many other similar restaurants. Environment: The restaurant is located at the Metro Square Plaza (Steeles/Ferrier) and parking has always been an issue at this plaza. Be alert and be on the lookout for careless drivers as well. Save yourself the trouble and try to stay away from the main parking space near the restaurants and go for the parking spots at the back to save on time spent looking and stay away from reckless drivers. For the restaurant itself, I find that it's very loud, the atmosphere felt greasy and sort of stink of BBQ, so it's probably not a good idea to wear anything fancy/expensive that you mind getting dirty there. There were a decent number of tables and they have large round tables for big groups of 10. Food: First thing first, when you first take a look at the menu, you'll notice there are 2 prices, one for VIP and one for regular. I think in general the VIP pricing is $1-3 cheaper per dish. In order to get the VIP pricing, you have to purchase a VIP card for $20 which lasts for 2 years. It's pretty worth it in my opinion as you can basically get your money back after 2 visits. This is actually a pretty good business trick, just make the regular prices higher and have the customers purchase the VIP card to make them feel good about getting the savings. But yeah, the regular price is too expensive for what you're getting. Onto the food, we actually ordered a bunch of stuff, such as lamb skewers, lamb with rice, cold tofu with preserved eggs, stretched noodle with lamb, and seafood with rice crispy. I didn't come from Northern China so I can't comment on the authenticity of the dishes, but just flavour wise the only thing I liked a lot were the lamb skewers, and the rest was just alright. One thing is sure though, everything felt really dry and greasy, so I couldn't stop drinking the tea. Also, I find that the portions are not as big as Southern Chinese/HK restaurants and there were a lot of meats in the dish. Not sure if I'll come back again for another visit, since I wasn't the one who bought the VIP card and their regular prices are a little pricey.
