大个子羊汤王 Lamb Soup Noodle House — Restaurant in Toronto

TLDR: Tasty Chinese place in a food court near the Sheppard Yonge subway station. Employees are kind but aren't really able to communicate in English so either be prepared to use Google Translate or know Mandarin to order 😅

-[BRAISED BEEF BRISKET IN SPECIALTY SESAME FLATBREAD] $9.95 🥪 This is extremely tasty and the beef inside is packed with flavor due to the savory sauce coating each piece of beef but is mixed in with cilantro (🙃) 🥪 I would have asked for no cilantro but my limited Mandarin only allowed me to confirm what I wanted to order and to thank the employee once my food was ready
