Reviews for China Food in East York, ON
Anyone who thinks this is the best Chinese food in the city has never eaten Chinese food frequented by Chinese people. Hands... down the worst food I have ever had and in fact worse than mall Chinese food if you ask me. Ordered a simple chicken ballswith chicken fried rice. For some reason this takes 15 minutes but really there was no on in this take out only place. Nowthis combo choice is handwritten on a piece of bristle board on the wall named daily specials. Really it is there every day. I am at a loss how you can make bad chicken balls since these were likely just frozen. The rice was a disaster. Burnt andsmoky bitter tasting with zero green onions or fragrance typical of Chinese rice. No way anyone who likes to cook made thisfood. Maybe someone who does not know how to cook. Unlike a place like the Sea Hi where they have 4 or 5 combo selections withbetter quality China Food has just a few options for one person and they are all pretty much chicken balls. Now keep in mindthis is $5.55 so don't expect perfection but at least make an effort. I also ordered egg rolls were I am sure where frozen froma factory and so those were ok. I think most people who occasionally have Chinese food do like a selection and rather than buy 5or 6 individual items they prefer a combo selection. For larger groups they seem to have that but I am not convinced thequality will be much better. So yes technically Chinese food but a poor effort and poor quality but at a very low price. Heystick to the mall cause I think that would be way better. Read more
Best Chinese food in the city in my opinion. Classic neighborhood spot, we?ve been going here since the early 2000s and late... 1990s, has always been on point. Nothing to fancy just great Chinese food at a fair price. Would definitely always recommend. Read more
Wonderful local neighbourhood Chinese food delivery. Particularly like the "Dinner for 4," which includes many items in smaller... portions so that you get a large variety. The food arrives warm, and delivery is free. They have estimated 1 hour for deliveryevery time I have ordered, and my food has always arrived within the time. The staff is friendly and the food is classic anddelicious. Meat is very clean (especially the immaculate sliced pork!) and flavours are simple but tasty. Would definitelyrecommend! Read more
I call BS to SW KOW?s review?I?ve been going to this place for years. I?ve had minor issues with a couple of dishes in the... past, still they?re dependable and pleasant to a fault. If they perceive a delay, they?ve always advised during the call?onetime they called me after my initial call to advise of a delay. I can understand some people being disappointed with a dish ortwo (good, but could be better), but service? Bull. I?m ordering yet again tonight and I?m looking forward to it. Read more
If I could give 0 stars, I would. Waited 3 hours and did NOT received my order. They strung me along the whole time. After 2... hours of waiting, I was told my order was ?being packed up.? At the 2.5 hour mark, they told me the driver was on his way. Atthe 3 hour mark, I was told my order was ?being packed up? (again). After pressing them hard on their story not making sense,they finally admitted that the food was not ready. To make things worse, I had told them I had kids and was only looking for anhonest answer?. Awful experience. Waiting for 3 hours is one thing but to be lied to the whole time is inexcusable. Read more
I'm glad we decided to try this place. Good portions at a great price. We really liked the chicken wings and chicken balls with... sweet and sour sauce. The fried rice is awesome. It wasn't too salty and not greasy at all. This will be our go to place nowfor Chinese takeout. Read more
If you are looking for a really solid place for Chinese Canadian delivery in Toronto you can?t do better than China Food. In a... city filled with so many take out places it seems strange that the options for good old egg rolls, chicken balls and fried riceare so limited and altogether horrible. I?ve been disappointed many times. China Food is the freshest and tastiest. Their frieditems are never greasy but always crunchy and delicious. The portions are decent and the price is right. On top of all this,they are so friendly and quickly deliver their own food. I despise third party food delivery services as the food takes foreverand arrives cold. Thank you, China Food, for being my go-to in TO! You have a loyal customer in me! Read more
Look...it's no-frills, non-descript, non-offensive North American Chinese food. Nothing wow'd us. It is fine and gets the job... done and isn't greasy or leaving you feeling like you want to crawl under a rock and die. Took 90 minutes from order to delivery Read more
