  • Prototypical Chinese restaurant Peking Man has been around for a long damn time, even before I started coming to the area as a kid for dental appointments, even before the condos and the Sheppard subway line existed. They had a kitchen fire in 2014 that forced them to close for a period. You'd think they would take the time and invest in updating their interior when they were fixing their kitchen. But nope, the place still looks like a dingy 90s cruise ship dining hall. And yes there's also the displays of plastic knick-knacks and pink walls to take note of (damn right, hipsters), as well as the unused 'Flamingo' bar section by the front, and the broken motorbike arcade machine at the front. The restaurant is big though, and opens every day from around 11 to around 23h. Most of the food is okay though. You can taste the soy sauce used in their cooking is more of the phoney Maggi/China Lily variety. Big portions for relatively cheap to relatively pricey. Apparently MSG is a secret weapon, and you have to specify they not use it if you don't want it in your food (that's what it says on the takeout menu). The service is generally decent, although there was a moment of laziness (you're not going to set my side of my table cuz you couldn't reach over?). Our server was pleasantly informative in explaining their 2-course Peking Duck meal ($40 circa 2015). Yes they'll carve up the duck as they should before you, and it's pretty alright for something they rave as the best Peking duck in town since time immemorial. And then they take what's left of the duck and turn it into the 'second course' serving of duck scraps, which you can have in a variety of ways, most of which costs extra $$$. Not enough egg roll pancakes served with the duck. Being practically the only Chinese restaurant within a couple miles radius, management probably lack the incentive to improve on the quality of their food, never mind the decor. Then again, there's hardly anything to eat at Sheppard and Leslie--aside Peking Man, there's Ikea and McDonalds. That's it. But should you come to Peking Man, you'll walk out feeling like a 1980s caveman. It's quite the kitschy experience.
