Toronto | Still as Delicious as Ever 🥘😋

I'm over the moon! Finally, there's a Zhao San Niang Maocai (a kind of Sichuan - style hot - pot dish) store near downtown Toronto. Without a car, I used to have to spend 2 hours traveling to Mississauga/Scarborough just to have a taste of it 😾. 🕹️ Address: 39 Spring Garden Ave 🚇 It's just a 3 - minute walk from Sheppard - Yonge subway station! 😽 The taste is still as amazing as always. It feels like the boss has opened 3 stores in just a short year, but the quality remains top - notch. Every time, I only order the mildly spicy or medium - spicy beef - tallow mala broth. It's so fragrant! The ingredients are fresh, and it's not overly spicy since I can't handle too much heat. 🍽️ This time, the new store has firecracker bamboo shoots!! 🙄 I've always drooled over food videos featuring them, and now I can finally have them in Canada. What a surprise! They're so delicious. 🧑‍🍳 The dining experience here is fantastic, as shown in the following aspects: The food comes out super fast! The waitresses are warm - hearted and patient. 🎉Every time I leave, they say goodbye to me and even remember me, haha (there are so many little thoughtful details). When they saw me wearing a white shirt, they gave me an apron. The store also provides dry - cleaning solution, so I don't have to worry about staining my clothes (the newly added free services are all in Picture 7!). 🎉The environment is clean and hygienic. The restroom is equipped with hand lotion and such (it's quite rare for a Chinese restaurant to offer this kind of service). There's a self - service ice jelly and rice station.🙄 I'm a big fan of ice jelly, and my boyfriend can eat a lot of rice 😄. It's a perfect match for us, and I feel like it offers great value for money. They always respond to everything. Every time I give feedback to the staff, they listen very attentively and patiently.🤩🌟 I heard that they added the firecracker bamboo shoots based on netizens' suggestions. I love Zhao San Niang! I'll keep coming back to eat here (I'm really not paid to say this) 😉. #Toronto #SatisfyingChineseStomachs #Maocai #NorthYork
