Best asian restaurant in Toronto in 2017

The top Chinese restaurants in Toronto represent only a portion of the diverse variety of regional offerings available here. And though many would claim you should head to Richmond and Markham Hill to get the real deal, Scarborough, our downtown Chinatowns and areas in between still have their share of victor.

Asian Legend

By far the greatest mainstay Chinese restaurant chain in Toronto, this restaurant is the place to go when you’re searching for a huge selection of genuine Chinese offerings. I’m a big supporter of the Peking duck, as well as the soup dumplings here are constantly on my order list.

Taste of China

The incredibly cumbersome name doesn’t detract from the fact Flavor of China is, for many, a taste of superiority. Popular among the late night crowd because of its superb General Tao Chicken and sizzling seafood on skillets, it’s one of those places that when you’re in downtown Chinatown, you simply need to go.

Congee Wong (Finch and Leslie)

There are numerous Congee Wongs near that it can make your head spin, but also for my money my favourite one is the North York location. Certainly it might get crowded during mealtimes, but at least it late, and their Cantonese Chow Mein Fried Chili Turnip Patties never fails to make me grin.

Sam Woo BBQ

This Scarborough mainstay continues to be satisfying old-school Cantonese BBQ pork enthusiasts for more than twenty years. Tender and perfectly crispy roast pork skin BBQ pork meat blended with old-school unfussy décor makes for an incredible meal.

Rol San

This late night Chinatown favourite is definitely jam packed with those who can not get enough of their classics like ho devotee noodles and hot ginger steak. Not to mention, it has a very popular all-day dim sum.

Qin Tang Taste

Home to the awesomely chewy biang biang noodles as well as other Shanxi specialties, this little Scarborough restaurant is in fact the first Toronto location of a large Beijing-based chain. My personal favourite? The Shanxi Slit Noodle with Stir-Fried Pork Pieces. Dish that is delicious, long name.

Luckee

This upscale eatery from Susur Lee inside the Soho Met features all-day dim sum, sweet-delectable Wuxi spare ribs and elaborate cocktails, all served beneath the gleam of some garish quasi- stereotypical Chinese ornamentation and lightings.


Central asia cuisine

House of Gourmet

This eatery near Spadina and Dundas appears lowly in the exterior but is a constant hub of action, with excellent dishes like claypot tofus and satay beef noodles. It has a BBQ joint that is committed takeout, perfect for all those nights when you would like to feast on your own couch on duck or pork.

Hong Shing Chinese Restaurant

The longstanding association near City Hall could be a bit greasy however they make an oh-so-pleasing General Tao Chicken and Sizzling Chili Chicken. Wash it all down with cocktails with names like the Stormy Night in Hong Kong.
