Reviews for Cynthia's Chinese Restaurant in Thornhill, ON
Chinese dining elevated away from the typical grab-and-go Chinese shops we often see around town. Staff welcome you into a well... appointed dining room that always impresses someone going in for the first time. The menu is vast and most items are done well.The peking duck is very much celebrated when served, with a gong and by-the-table prep. The take-out packaging is well thoughtout so food carries well. The lunch specials are very tasty and with generous portions - a more affordable to experience therestaurant. Read more
I order the Chicken Lettuce Wraps as my main course quite regularly (minimum once a month) and they’re always great. Tonight... when I ordered them, there were large strings of what looked like skin or fat that were inedible. I called Cynthia’s and spoketo the manager to let her know how unappetizing the Lettuce Wraps were and emailed her a photo to show her. She called me backand let me know that she spoke to the kitchen and their machine that cuts the chicken is starting to fail and that’s whythere’s larger pieces. I told her that it didn’t look like the chicken used for the lettuce wraps were trimmed at all asthere was so much skin or fat (it’s usually diced quite nice). She said that she told the kitchen they need to make sure totrim the fat. Anyways, she told me next time I order she’ll put a spring roll in my order for the issue. I told her I can’teven eat my meal as I have to pick through it (with my fingers) to avoid the skin or fat. She said ok, I can give you 50 % offnext time you order the Lettuce Wraps and that’s the best I can do unless we want to return tonight’s order. I told herI’m not sending my husband out in the pouring rain for $20. I informed her that she lost a good customer and I would neverorder from there again and also let her know I would be giving a bad review and intend to let everyone know about theirdisgusting customer service and clearly really cheap chicken they use in their dishes that they charge a premium for. Shame onyou Cynthia’s. Read more
It was alright. For such a high price you'd expect better quality, and perhaps a bigger portion. I really liked the Crispy OK... Chicken, everything else was generic unfortunately. For half the price at what you would pay here, you can get all the samestuff at any mom & pop Chinese restaurant with bigger portions. Service was good, friendly staff. Read more
Consistently excellent food and service! Lovely decor and atmosphere. Great place for fine dining Chinese food.
The overall rating at 3.9 really doesn't do this restaurant justice. It's clean, offers great service, as well as delicious and... quality food. I think it deserves at least a 4.5 overall rating. We had the B Set for 2 which is at $35.95 each. Every one ofthe dishes was good! We enjoyed the starters which comprised the Hot and Soup, Wonton Soup (quality meat!), Fried ChickenDumplings, Spring Rolls, and Samosas (yum!). The mains - Lemon Chicken, Fried Garlic Shrimps, Pineapple Fried Rice, and VeggieNoodles - were tasty too! Glad we came here despite the rating. Recommended! Read more

It’s incredible! The service was amazing. All of tye food was piping hot and came out at the same time. If you are in the mood... for slightly upscale Chinese food, doesn’t get better. Best hot and sour soup I have ever had, and their crispy OK beef isamazing. Read more
