CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please make sure they charge you correctly. I mentioned to the person at the front that I was planning to pay with visa. When I was about to pay , I noticed the amount showing on the credit card machine was significantly different than the total showing on the cash register. When I asked why the amount was high, they informed me that it was because I was using visa. This is odd considering the merchant fees/interchange fees visa charges is nowhere near 15%. So they not only gave me no option to tip , but decided to offload the interchange fees to patrons and took liberties with how much tip they were entitled to. I don’t mind covering the percentage associated with processing credit card payments, but in what world is it okay to just apply the tip without the patron’s consent? When I decided that I would pay with debit instead, some how the tip option magically appeared giving me the option to choose how much tip to give 🙄. I still tipped 15% and that was a mistake on my part. The audacity to apply a tip and not inform patrons of that is incredibly sketchy! Too bad, food was decent but will never be back. Stay...
Read moreUpdate April 2022: My favourites A5 and C2 are now $9. Add a few drops of the chili oil to add an extra level of flavour! Or even red vinegar! Yummy!
Update August 2021: Right now is the time to visit Jim Chai Kee if you want to try their great Chinese shrimp wontons! Higher food prices are coming in 2021 across Canada but as of August 21 prices at this location are still $8 for either A5 or C2. It's well worth it!
Tried Jim Chai Kee in early October 2020. Safety protocols were in place and it was tidy and clean inside.
Definitely recommend those new to this type of food to try the egg noodle soup (the noodles make the dish more of a meal) with shrimp wontons (the must have item in the bowl) and beef, item A5 $8. If there are two of you, then I suggest that the second person order just shrimp wontons in soup, item C2 $8, and that you combine the bowls for just enough noodles and more shrimp wontons.
The choice of fish balls might suit those a little more adventurous as would the super spicy and flavorful chili oil (which I enjoy).
Service is efficient and the food comes out quickly. Bring cash or debit. Free parking in the...
Read moreJim Chai Kee Wonton Noodle have been around for ages. The first restaurant opened in Richmond Hill. They eventually expanded into Scarborough. One of their signature dishes is their Shrimp Wontons Noodle Soup. The wontons are huge and loaded with Shrimps. The dish is simply fresh and not too filling.
Want to spice it up, add a hint of their chilli oil made in-house. I overheard a customer within ear range stated their husband loves the spiciness of the chilli oil. It must be good. I didn’t try it for the fear of the heat level.
We were greeted when we came in. The Server gave us napkins, chopsticks, spoons, paper cups and a kettle of tea. When we were done, I went up to the counter and paid in cash only.
The disabled parking is to the right of the restaurant. It’s a bit of a distance to the front entrance. Please note the front entrance doesn’t have an accessible push button door. If you come with someone else then you’re okay.
The menu is bilingual and straight forward. Printed in both Chinese and English languages.
Note one can buy frozen and raw shrimp...
