| - I caught myself by surprise that I actually have never been to this amazing Chinese diner before. Swatow is a small scale Chinese restaurant but with a LOT of food items on their menu. I was here on a Wednesday night around 8pm, lined up wasn't too bad, I would say I waited for 10min max. This is also due to the fact that they serve food pretty fast and people just eat and go. That being said, their service is def better than most of the resto in China Town Toronto.
Beer
- Only ONE TYPE, Budweiser, I found it pretty odd they do not carry Tsang Tao
- $5 pretty steep
House Special Noodles
- Good selection of various items on their menu, fish balls, beef balls, squid balls, tribes, beef brisket with egg noodles in soup
- Texture of the noodles done right, ie not over cooked and chewy
- Broth is flavorful and I did not need to add ANY additional sauce because it is that good
Clam with Black Bean sauce
- Sauce done perfect, very tasty, full of black bean taste
- Clams are fresh and portion was good
Fuk-kin Fried Rice
- Ordered this as other yelpers have recommended. Not my kind of Fuk-kin fried rice, it is not bad but nothing wows me. Just another saucy chinese style fried rice and I have had better in even just Congee Wong
Deep Fried Squid
- Pretty good for a snack, they have used chinese style salt that gives another hint of asian style
Service
- Absolutely amazing, genuine and friendly!!
Downside: Cash only... pretty inconvenient, but you kind of have to accept that...
Will def come back for their noodles as the broth is really good and the texture of noodles are not easy to find
I recommend anyone to come here for a quick dinner
Family welcomed
