Eden Chinese Food — Restaurant in Toronto

A bunch of us wanted an old style Western Chinese supper and Eden was the closest to our neighbourhood. We had no expectations and decided to try it on Wednesday night. The place is not new, but was clean and neat. We ordered eight or nine dishes to share and enjoyed most. The won ton pork soup was excellent and very hot. The chicken balls kinda got a thumbs down (although all were eaten). Everyone liked the egg rolls and the spring rolls. Beef and vegs, and lemon chicken a big hit. Service was polite and food arrived fast. Our bill for everything was $70.00 which we felt was reasonable for our large feast. The take out service was bustling so that says something about their local reputation. We agreed we would come again. An update for June 2023: This was the first time we ordered delivery. We chose Eden because they have their own delivery service and not Uber or the rest of them. The difference is that a restaurant's own delivery service cares about the quality and condition of the food whereas Uber and the others don't give a damn. We ordered the dinner for three which more than fille two hungry men. Again, the chicken balls were not the greatest but they were all eaten. A special note that the hot and sour soup was exceptional and packed in a virtual non spill container. The other dishes were tasty and more or less exactly what you would expect from this type of restaurant. All of the food arrived hot...not warm...hot. A good experience that will be repeated.

Update October 2024. Sadly, things have changed at this restaurant. We went to have a dine- in meal and were disappointed. Firstly, the server informed us that they no longer have dishes…we would have to eat from styrofoam take out containers. Because we were already there and seated, we agreed. We ordered an old favourite Hot and Sour soup. We received Sweet and Sour soup which was too sweet to eat. We ordered dry ribs and received ribs in sauce. OK, but not what we ordered. The two other dishes were fine and tasty. We had ordered steamed rice and did not receive until we were almost finished. The place was still clean and tidy, but our overall experience was not that enjoyable. I used go recommend to others as being a great old style western Chinese place, but maybe not anymore. Probably OK...

I liked this place until tonight. I ordered a dish, emphasized i was allergic to shrimp and to omit it from the order. I started eating and felt my throat begin to swell up. I quickly dug in around the food and found a tonne of shrimp at the bottom. When I called the woman who takes orders couldn’t have cared less telling me sometimes they forget and that I shikk up don’t order food with shrimp in it if I’m allergic not taking any responsibility and putting all onus on me. I asked if she was sorry and she said she didnt understand. I told her if I hadn’t medication to stop the effected of my allergy I’d me in the hospital and could have died. She laughed, seriously laughed. I yelled for her to say sorry and she yelled it back at me then told me she was busy there were a lot of orders and the phone was busy with callers. Eden restaurant on Coxwell ave in TO ON Canada should be closed down immediately, never allowed to cook/sell food to the public act and the staff and owners should be fined for such irresponsible...

OMG. WHAT A WASTE OF MY MONEY! PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY,

Sweet and Sour Chicken totally salty and drenched in so much sweet n sour it looked like it was something radioactive. The chicken felt tough and old..doubt it was prepared the same day.

Fried Dumpling - they gave me boiled dumplings they placed on one side in a pan for a couple minutes and burnt. I know the difference between fried and boiled dumpings. This was just boiled that they tried to pass off as fried.

Rice had no vegetables of anything, was old and tough as well.

COULDN'T EVEN FINISH THIS FOOD IT WAS SO DISGUSTING. Into the garbage it went and I ordered from somewhere else because it was my birthday and I didn't want my meal to suck. EW EW EW. NEVER will I give this place my money again.

Not to mention customer service was horrendous when I called to complain about the state of my food. Their excuse was that's how...
