  • Swatow is a very good Chinese restaurant located in Chinatown. They don't do anything new or spectacular and if you are not familiar with the area you will probably walk pass Swatow not knowing that you just passed by one of the city's most reputable Chinese eateries. I'm not lying, anyone I know who goes to Chinatown, knows Swatow. They might not eat there or they may even hate this place but they know about this place. I have been going to Swatow ever since I was a little kid because my dad is a friend of the owner. The always relaxed owner can be seen many nights in his restaurant talking with customers and even serving dishes. When I was little I always felt special my dad knew the owner but when I grew I found out that almost every regular here knows the owner. I believe his name is Peter and the guy sure is a character. The restaurant itself is one of those shady looking dive restaurants. The place is tiny, crowded, and the tables and chairs must be older than Chinatown itself. I have to admit that I love the atmosphere here because it is something that hasn't changed in ages. The food here is its selling point. It is really good and non-pretentious. It comes to your table quick and fresh. My favourite things here include the seafood chow mein and the beef brisket on rice. The chow mein noodles are crunchy until they soak up all the sauce. It is crammed with seafood toppings and veggies. The beef brisket is covered in a wonderful sauce and it's piled on a bed of rice. Both are served in large portions and are very filling so it's nice to share with a friend. I do have to agree with other people here when they say that they come here only when they are drunk. I have noticed me coming here after a night of drinking more often than coming here during the day. That's not a downside though because that just means this place is open late and can understand the slurs coming out of a drunk party goer. Swatow is great. The food is great. The owner is great. The business hours are great. Yup, if you are new to the area and walk pass this place thinking its just another Chinese restaurant, you just foolishly passed by one of Toronto's great eateries.
