| - This place has been around for over 40 years and there is an excellent reason for this. The food is great, for westernized chinese food, and have a few authentic dishes as well. I worked downtown for many years and know the difference between real and western chinese food, but if you are going for the western style, this is one of the best in the city. High quality food and after ordering from them for decades, have yet to have a dish that didn't taste great or was cooked properly. So you are well aware, this is a take-out/delivery business, there are no tables to eat here. They are always busy and the food is cooked to order, so if you want a place where you can get it fast by choosing food under heat lamps and be in and out is under 10 minutes, don't go here. If you want fresh good food cooked to order, then this is the place for you.
The kitchen staff are all asian, using authentic cooking utensils (nothing frozen or prepared earlier to be heated up in a microwave) as you can hear and see through the beaded drape separating them from the order area, and they tend to employ local high school seniors to do the order taking out front. these girls are very good at taking orders, including checking on specialty items while on the phone so there is no disappointing call backs, or food missing from your order. Delivery is between a half hour to an hour depending on how busy they are, and they tell you the approximate time for delivery so you know up front. But despite this wait time, the food always arrives piping hot and ready to eat. Don't forget to ask for utensils if you need them, they don't believe in unnecessary waste, this is Etobicoke after all.
Once again, there is a very good reason they have been in operation for over 40 years, and still highly popular and very busy for a reason, they are simply the best chinese take-out in west Toronto. ENJOY!!!
