Wok and Grill — Restaurant in Toronto

We had a hankering for Chinese food and it was getting late, this was a couple Fridays ago. This place was still open so we popped by to get take out. It was nice to see this local place in full swing - people playing pool, other people coming in to order food and I think there was a birthday thing going on. Chef there was super cool; was chatting with birthday guy and then asked me what I wanted to order and basically customized it for me. Lady at the front really nice too. The fact that the food was made fresh, the portions decent and at a reasonable price point is why I'll come back. Will probably order trays for next get together.

Update: As promised, came back for a light dinner and ordered trays for a gathering tomorrow. Got to talk to the chef again, Tula. Great guy. Showed us the size of the trays he uses and how he doesn't chintz on portions. I believe it because our chow mein was so good with plenty of meat and veggies. At $11 you're not going to find that price with that taste and freshness anywhere these days. This place is a hidden gem and I love the vibe. Will...

I ordered by phone for pick up an hour and half before I picked up. The owner was friendly on the phone. When I got there he still was cooking it. So wait time was another 10 minutes. The place didn’t look like a restaurant. It had more of a bar feel to it. There was a pool table and a bar behind the cash with liquor and a sign saying $5.50 for shots. A tv on the wall. Plenty of seating. The clientele consisted of 4 elderly guys sitting at a table drinking. My guess is they have lots of locals. There was a customer outside the restaurant, beside the front door smoking and the smell of cigarettes was coming inside the restaurant. The food was ok. I didn’t feel like that there was enough in the containers. It should have been more stuffed. And not enough variety in the cantonese chow mein, lots of onions and watercress. I did like the spring rolls. The rice was small grain and a little hard. There is plenty of parking and they have an...

Wok and Grill has the best bar food hands down. Imagine Chinese food tailor made for a bar environment. They have delicious wings, fried shrimp, and calamari appetizers. If you get the seafood fried rice and a pitcher of beer while watching some sporting event on their screens, it's a guaranteed good time. The other cool thing about this place is that the owner cooks the food for you. You can see him at the wok doing his thing. You can witness how he cooks the delicious yummy food for you. You can see the flames doing that thermodynamics, changing the chemistry to your food and see the final result on the plate looking all beautiful and delicious. The wings are delicious. The t-shirts look like two pans instead of two woks but...
