Ahhh Spadina Garden. Which is nowhere close to Spadina. Or a garden, for that matter. The restaurant is actually at Bay & Dundas, on a stretch of a gazillion sketchy looking restaurants. It gets a lot of tourist business from the Eaton Centre because it looks like a typical Chinese restaurant you'd see anywhere in the world.
And it is a safe bet. They've got the plastic tablecloths, jasmine tea and sweet and sour pork. Their menu has comprehensible English descriptions, and nothing is too authentically Chinese to scare off the non-Asian tourists. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, but it's just a safe place for people who are intimidated by real Chinatown joints.
Staff here are so friendly though -- I remember one of the older men working there who just couldn't stop smiling. Expect good service and good food, and I think they just wrapped up some renovations so check them out.
