知味煲仔饭 (Yonge) Good Taste Casserole Rice — Restaurant in Toronto

Visited due to positive reviews from various reviews in the community. They offer Cantonese style rice noodle rolls and casserole (claypot) rice dishes which are freshly made in house.

Their rice noodle rolls are made from freshly made rice milk which gives it a smoother texture and helps it with taste. The portion size is decent and is also shareable.

Their casserole rice dishes come with your choice of meat or seafood, or as part of selected combinations. Each rice dish comes with a side of vegetables and is freshly made which is why it comes out longer than the rice noodle roll dishes. One of their recommended selections is their Four Treasures which comes with a mix of grilled eel, BBQ Pork and assorted preserved meat. The downside is that it can be a bit salty for those who do not normally eat preserved meat, but overall the meal is worth the value. One casserole rice dish is filling alone.

Really not sure what's happened to this place. We used to enjoy our time here with very professional and amiable service. However, we understand it has become the past. We were greeted by server who couldn't care less if anyone is going to show up and eat. We were asked to write down the items we wanted to order. She didn't even bother to fetch the order list and whole behavior is dismissive, disrespectful and unprofessional. The server did refill the tap water the whole 2 hours while we were there. And of course, I added a drink afterward and she surely forgot entirely. And almost forget to mention, the soup that used to come with the rice is NO LONGER available. So don't get your hope high if you choose to eat in. Better to take the good food home than put up with some petty attitude lol. Personally I will NOT make another trip to this particular location. Good luck! Highly suggest...

Somehow, I like the casserole rice here more in its takeout form than in person, which was disappointing. The takeout version is absolute perfection - honestly I was shocked how crispy they were able to get the rice. It is also piping hot when it arrives, due to the way they pack it.

I ate here in person for the first time, and even though we were one of two groups of customers, it still took an absurd amount of time for our food to arrive. It was also really oily, especially the veggies. The rice still tasted good, but I found it even harder to remove from the casserole pot than the aluminum takeout container.

Overall, the price and taste is still good. For around $12.99, you get a hearty delicious meal and...
