This place is so off the beaten path but needed to be reviewed properly so here it goes. We originally used to frequent Lido in Newton (if anyone remembers this place) for years, probably 20 years or so until they closed down for good a couple of years ago. Have been searching for a good place ever since, until we where suggested this place by a local resident - word of mouth. It's like walking back in time when you walk in, almost like an older middle class house. (this place should be registered heritage, agreed with a previous post). Yes it's a little run down but the food quality and taste makes up for it. Clean modernized cooking equipment doesn't exist here. They still cook on the tools that where made in the 1950's and that is just fine! The food is out of this world, served hot and with a smile each time. Best of all, the food is EVEN BETTER the next day! (leftovers) It's honestly a blessing that this place exists, and still exists to this day as it always had to this very day. Thank you Fongs!!!

Once so many dishes were missing we needed to reheat all of the food when the other dishes arrived 45 minutes later. The other time some people whose dinner dishes hadn't arrived insisted the other eat, meaning dinner was eaten in two shifts. Not exactly ideal. Some restaurants take delivery problems seriously. The local White Spot got our delivery order wrong once, and the manager showed up at the door later with our correct order, a sincere apology and an $80 gift certificate. Fong's barely apologizes, like it's somehow the customer's fault. They don't seem to expedite the missing dishes either. My advice, eat in, don't risk delivery. And if you pick up your meal, check the bag's...
Read morePerfect delivery of the most horrible food someone ever dared to prepare and serve for take out.we ordered House Chow Main and Honey Garlic Pork. The chow Main swam in undefinable brown water that continued to accumulate even after draining. The order had no flavor, none. The garlic pork was tough to be inedible and also swam in a watery concoction. No chop sticks, Soja sauce, napkins, fortune cookies etc accompanied the Order. Initially we had prepared to do 6 different orders, but then reconsidered leaving it at 2 due to the fact, we never used this restaurant before, even it’s located only 2 km from home. Never! Again. Unbelievable, the favorable on...
