3.5 stars. A totally awesome option if you are craving the chinese delivery of your childhood.
Since China House closed at Bathurst and Eglinton, we've been on the market for that time-warp american-chinese food restaurant that would be both easy to get to, easy to get into, affordable, and totally dependable. We popped in for a lazy Saturday lunch this past weekend and this is it. Free parking out front. Tons of space. What more do you want?
We had the entire place to ourselves but at 2:30 PM this was not super surprising (this changed as we were leaving, some families came in with kids for early supper.) The service was no-nonsense and low-maintenance but completely efficient and the older woman who served us clearly knew the menu backwards and forwards and inside out.
Your table is immediately set with a bottomless dish of crispy noodles and plum sauce for dipping, which is good for mindless nibbling. I had the wonton soup which had a few nice hunks of pork in it - and then followed up with a beef lo-mein. My man had the General Tso's chicken which was the way better choice, absolutely GIANT hunks of chicken with totally predictable and totally tasty sauce and heaps of broccoli. Very satisfying. Total bill was about 20$.
