| - Hidden in a strip mall in Agincourt, Great Well Fast Food is the largest and most popular shop in a shabby Chinese food court. Sometimes high school kids come here for lunch from Agincourt C.I., but typically they're mostly Chinese men or old couples.
ORDERING: Around the counter is the menu, hand-written in both Chinese and English; pictures of some of the dishes will help those unfamiliar with Asian cuisine. The kitchen here is amazingly fast, I'm not actually sure how many people are on a single shift, but it's quite a lot! Once you make your order, you are given a piece of cardboard with a number and wait for your order to be called. You won't have to wait longer than 10 minutes.
VEG OPTIONS: Towards the bottom righthand side of the menues is a list of a dozen vegetarian options. I ordered the 'baked garden rice with cheeze, white sauce and vegetables' (it sounds a lot nicer in Cantonese) and Singaporean rice noodle for $13! That also included a Hong-Kong-style milk tea WITH tapioca and a cup of soy milk.
Wait, wait, there's more.
They also give you a bowl of daily soup - I've had a simple vegetable broth and a hot-and-overly-sour soup. Considering everything that you get for that price, it's an awesome deal!
The only thing that bugs me is the excessive use of Styrofoam. It's not haute cuisine, but it really hits the spot when you're famished!
TIP: If you plan on coming often, ask for a card. Once you buy 10 meals, you get your 11th free.
