Oh my GOSH these dumplings are INCREDIBLE. I stopped in impulsively tonight because I was charmed by the woman hand-rolling dumpling wrappers in the window. Once I ordered she hand-filled them with pork and chive filling and a whole shrimp each. I ordered them fried... and WOW. Unreal. Chewy and juicy. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly, the food was hot and made fresh. I'm usually pretty loyal to Dragon Delight but my loyalties will be divided from now on!!! Im not really a person who thinks to do Google reviews unless a business asks me but truly these dumplings were SO much better than the average dumpling that i had to say something!!!!

Smashing IT! By far the BEST, yes, I said the BEST Chinese food in Toronto! Nestled in the heart of the St. Clair Avenue West neighborhood this family run business has been the ideal stop for everyone in the area to grab some extremely tasty and flavorful eats. My order tonight consisted of: 1. The famous Chinese Dumplings Beef & Chinese Cabbage. 2. Chicken fried rice with pineapple 3. Kung Pao Chicken 4. Beef with Black Bean My table looked like it was feeding a large family! Nope, it was all just for me! The customer service is excellent, such talented cooks, the food hot, fresh, and SO SO TASTY. Love this place and can't wait to come back. So whether you're in the mood for takeout or dining in and you're looking for REAL AUTHENTIC Chinese cuisine, then this is definitely the place for you.

I was happily surprised. It was great quality Chinese food, and I can't wait to try their dumplings. Reheat factor: it got better the next day! Very rare.

This is your classic “hole in the wall”. No frills, but tasty eating sure to satisfy your cravings. From their classic Chinese dumplings (pan fried or steamed), to other classic dishes - and also some other unique dishes such as the shrimp toast. They’re all pleasurable and fairly priced. Quite unassuming, hence “hole in the wall”, but in the best of ways. One of those spots that if you’re lucky enough to know, you may selfishly keep to yourself as your neighbourhood secret. This is my neighbourhood secret, yet I’m happy to share this with the masses. As they deserve it, and it’s just not fair to keep all to myself. Happy dining.

Delicious Chinese food at st Clair. My friend bought me there when I travelled to Toronto. We order a General Tao Chicken on rice, spicy green beans and beef with onions. They are very delicious . Great food and great service. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again in the future.

I came to try this Chinese restaurant on a friend’s recommendation, and it turned out to be a hidden gem! They have freshly made dumplings, and every dish we ordered was super authentic and delicious. It’s a great spot for gathering with friends or family. I highly recommend the dumplings, spicy garlic eggplant, and cucumber salad. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!

I visited almost an hour before closing time. It was a random place I visited, but the food was not bad. The staff was friendly.
