Popular Chinese Diner — Restaurant in Toronto

This one is interesting... I cannot rate the food because I didn't actually get any food. I read the reviews here, was in the area, was interested, and so I stopped in just to give them a try. I ordered shrimp dumplings and a hot and sour soup which came to $10 (cash price). They wanted me to pay up front for dine in. That was strange but whatever. The counter guy did not have change for a $50 bill. I said I would happily pay the $10 on debit. The debit price would normally have come to $11.30. after explaining this to him twice... The notion that I should not be penalized because he did not have change and would be willing to pay the $10 cash price on debit rather than the $11.30 price, he said he'd have to ask. I know this is about a measly $1.30, but it's really the principle of the thing and not the money. Remember, this is my first experience at this place. Anyhow, he came back and said sorry and handed me my $50 bill back. Needless to say, this experience has left quite the impression of upon me. Worthy of a review? Perhaps... I feel it speaks to the attitude of whomever it was back there who refused what I feel was a reasonable offer. This is definitely a secondary thought, but there was a foul smell in that place... They may have been having toilet/sewage issues. Thus, this whole thing may have been a blessing in...

I stumbled across this place by chance, as it was one of the few restaurants open past 10pm, and was pleasantly surprised to discover they offer all-day dim sum and other yummy Cantonese dishes!

The dishes are great value for the portion size and delicious! There was a generous amount of vegetables and meat on our Cantonese Chow Mein.

The restaurant itself is small and outdated looking, as some other reviewers have mentioned. It's a mom and pop-type establishment and the family works hard. The older female chef was friendly and grateful for our business. She even called me a leng-nui :-)

Looking forward to coming back and trying their...
