Asian Legend
Asian Legend has been around since 1988 on the strength of its Northern cuisine and its management-style that has resulted in six locations in Toronto. Dim sum and stir fry have been the staples of this restaurant as well as the reasonable costs. For those reasons, Asian Legend is one of the most popular Chinese restaurant destinations in the entire city. Diners are satisfied by the typical Chinese menu with dozens of choices, especially sauteed beef with satay sauce on a hot platter, half of a Szechuan smoked duckling and sweet and sour California bass.

Sky Dragon Cuisine
This is one of the most popular Chinese restaurants in Toronto. Whether it's the view the city of Toronto from its top floor location on Spadina Street or the quality of the food, Sky Dragon Cuisine has garnered positive reviews. Some say it's a "fantastic place to eat. great value, great taste."
The restaurant does get crowded early so diners should plan time to have a good meal there. During the summer, diners can look down on the city below from their table on the outside balcony. The menu is quite predictable with numerous choices like Kung Pao and General Tso's Chicken, but guests can also get dim sum--small dishes of food--as well as culinary creations that include lobster, shellfish and other seafood. This restaurant opened in 1965 and now there are three others in Toronto.
