Wah Too Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

My dad never makes specific requests for his birthday. He asked for Lobster. We used to go to this renown fried lobster place on Baldwin but it's gone. Two other spawned off it after it either failed or the brothers went their separate ways. One bro opened one downtown. It's gone too. The other is and IG favourite in Scarborough. If the Gardiner had been open thats where we were headed. Luckily we stayed more local, or downtown and discovered this gem. Now, it is not pretty to look at and the interior is pretty sparse, ol school some may say. Now, ignore that and you'll have some of the best Chinese food and fastest service.

In most other cuisines, something that comes out in under a couple of minutes is dodgy. You assume it was a scoop and serve. It's the opposite for Chinese. If it takes too long, it's either bougie or being reheated. The food came out super fast and piping hot fresh off their fiery woks.

We ordered 2 lobsters, 2 chow meins, fried rice, steamed rice, spring rolls. It all hit the table as it was fired and was fresh, well seasoned, and piping hot. My kids are used to 'poser' Chinese from the west end or on resorts, so my daughter had to add soy sauce to her rice but it didnt need it :D The lobsters were so good, we ordered a 3rd and only waited a few minutes. Service was attentive but not imposing as any authentic Chinese place. I will definitely be back. There are not many tables so if you are a table of more than...

In my opinion(to each its own):

I have been going to this restaurant for years, but always for takeout only. Never had to wait long even when I ordered in the restaurant.

The takeout food & portions are always generous, fresh & tasty. No complains.

The prices are reasonable because the portions are generous.

The lady owner & the staff working there are always courteous. But sometimes when it gets busy with taking orders from the phone or handling delivery pickups, people may react to intolerance & misunderstand that the staff & service doesn't seem to be quite to their acceptance & expectations. When I was ordering in the restaurant, I had no problems waiting patiently when I encountered this situation. I waited for my turn to order my takeout & pickup.

Finally had a chance to dine in. Of course, all the orders were delicious & yummy. Excellent portions. Very impressive. Didn't have to wait long at all for 6 orders. They all came one after the other.

The lady server was attentive & courteous. The lady owner came over several times to make sure all the orders were right.

Seems it wasn't too busy. But it was still half full. Therefore, I didn't have any problems that I had to rush off to pay my bill.

I am looking forward to dining in more often...

While this place may be on the smaller side, don't be deceived by its size. The food here is nothing short of delectable, offering an authentic taste that satisfies even the most discerning palate. Not only was the service fast and friendly, but the dish that stole the show was the mouthwatering lobster. Its flavorful goodness left me craving for more. Although each lobster originally cost $35, we managed to get a special deal where we got two lobsters for $67. $3 off 😊 Excited about this offer, I asked the server if we could have two different kinds of sauce for our lobsters, to which they gladly agreed. However, when we received the bill, I was surprised to see that we were charged $35 for each individual lobster. It turns out that if you opt for two different sauces, they charge you the regular price of $35 per lobster, but you receive larger lobsters instead of two smaller ones as part of the deal. I wish the server had informed us about this upfront instead of springing it on us at the end. Nonetheless, the extra cost for larger lobsters was worth it in my opinion. Without a doubt, I will be returning here whenever that irresistible lobster craving...
