Yummy Cantonese Restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

The food: The beef brisket noodle soup broth was flavorful and tasty, and the noodles were good as well but the beef brisket was not that good in comparison. The beef brisket has a tinge of cinnamon which I did not enjoy, as the beef brisket I usually eat does not taste like this. This cantonese food was alright, but I would not use yummy as the defining word for this restaurant. I would retitle this restaurant as Alright Cantonese Restaurant.

The tea: Complimentary hot tea was tasteless and lackluster. It tasted like hot water with a hint of nothing.

The chili oil: The chili oil enlightened me and brought joy to our otherwise bland meal. This will only apply to the chili oil fanatics like me, though, so take this review of chili oil with a grain of salt. The chili oil was flavorful and brightened up the other flavors in the food, which caused me to give this restaurant 3 stars instead of 2. The chili oil was splendid and enriched with flavor.

The service: The restaurant itself was full of people but probably not because the food is good, but because there are not many options for Cantonese food around here. The waiters were okay, but you must write down your order yourself. The food came out at a relatively okay pace, but three dishes that we ordered in the beginning did not arrive until almost 45 minutes later, after we finished the other dishes.

The ambience: The interior was alright, and the walls have a nice design, but only on one wall is there a design.

Restroom: The restroom exists, which is good. There was a small fly in the toilet that instilled fear in me as I released my bodily fluid into the porcelain bowl, but I finished my business quickly and then everything was alright.

Conclusion: I would not return to this restaurant. Everything was okay, but there are definitely better Cantonese restaurants out there that I would travel farther to eat at rather than eat here. I give this restaurant 3 stars, but my mother who did not receive her food until 45 minutes after we finished our food would like to give this restaurant 1 star. As we pulled out of the parking lot, a sign caught my eye: a restaurant called Perfect Chinese Restaurant. Next time, I will travel there for a meal instead, as I may not be bamboozled and fooled by their restaurant name as I was dining at Yummy...

Local neighborhood hole in the wall place. Needed a quick meal, it was either this or Taco Bell.

Was not impressed when i entered, certainly a place you wouldn't take a date or a secret lover, yeah I said it.

However, my red flag gut intuition slowly began to soften when perusing their menus, a separate page for congee, separate page for noodles, separate page for rice rolls and a separate page for snacks. Now that's what I'm talking about. This is where people come for serious no nonsense eating. No fusion, no signature dishes, just straight up good basic Chinese comfort food

It hit me when I out of the corner of my eye I saw pork intestine noodles on the noodle menu. Whaaaat, no way, no restaurant would dare serve this dish unless their customer base demanded it. People who like intestines described the taste as gamey barnyard funk, let's get real, it's poop, don't want it. Don't wanna even try.

I got excited, any restaurant serving this dish must know what they are doing. I ordered the congee with century egg & pork, fried dough sticks and beef brisket dried noodles

The beef brisket was tender with fat and attached membrane, beware, it is just not pure beef brisket, this type of brisket is not everyone's cup of tea. The noodles were firm and chewy

The fried dough sticks were overcooked, too crispy and oily. Dipping them in the congee softened them up.

The congee arrived very hot with creamy century egg and tender pork. It was so tasty

I have to admit, their dishes were very authentic and a representation of what great cooking skills can accomplish with Chinese ingredients (including intestines).

It's a shame these hole in the wall places are not well known but then the neighborhoods probably want it they way.

I walked away...

Tldr: Cantonese breakfast place for congee and rice noodle rolls. Clean, fresh and delicious. Would recommend.

Came here for the first time with my mom and sis since they were craving a Cantonese-styled brunch. This place offers a wide variety of rice noodle rolls and congee that are made in-house. They also have soup noodles if you're feeling that.

For congee we got 2 types: Salted egg/pork, and mixed mushroom/pork. For just $5 each, it was pretty worth. The bowls are huge, and the ingredients were fresh. The congee was quite clean and smooth, and i can tell that it wasn't MSG-filled like other places. In terms of rice noodle rolls, we got the BBQ pork, plain, and fried dough fritter. These rice noodle rolls are not like the typical ones that you see at a dim sum joint. They were uniquely wrinkled (kind of like the wrinkles you see on an old man lol), but tasted amazing. There was a pleasant elasticity when I bit into them, and it didn't tire out my jaw during the mastication process. They also have sweet soy sauce, sesame sauce, sesame seeds, sriracha, and chili oil on the side on each table.

When we got here at around 11:30am, it was mad packed. This place is pretty small, but we got seats after a 10min wait. Service was alright, but the food came fast. Price is great for what's offered. Would...
