| - I've been coming here to Magic Wok since I was a kid. I remember their old Scarborough location which was always crowded and the waiter who spilled sauce on my dad's expensive new shoes.
Fast forward to a few decades later, and the core wait staff is still the same! The brother and sisters all look the same. My parents know one of the waiters, Happy, from another chinese restaurant location down the street. I thought they were pretty good. Like a typical chinese restaurant, the service is usually very quick and efficient. Just don't expect them to come to your table and ask how the food is every few minutes.
The food here has always been excellent for the price. Whether it's seafood, veggies, meat, really can't go wrong. I would say they are best known for their lobster. $14/lb during the summer can't be beat. Oh, and it's fresh and cooked well too (stirfry ginger with green onion, curry, etc).
They always have dessert, usually red bean, sweet almond paste, or "tofu fa". If they run out, they'll give you a sliced orange.
Just a note though, Magic Wok is still only open for dinner. They make enough money during dinner that they don't need to open for breakfast or lunch. It's always busy during weekends, so patience is required (reservations don't really help).
