Toronto Chinatown Restaurants

Toronto Chinatown Restaurants
There is nothing like a Chinese restaurant to take care of the hunger that people have after 18 holes of golf and there are plenty of them in Toronto's Chinatown. Golf is a big deal in Toronto and visitors are playing such well-maintained courses like Tam O' Shanter and the Scarlett Woods. Both courses are typical of the golf courses in Ontario.

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.

Asian Legend
418 Dundas Street W
Toronto, ON M5T 1G7
(416) 977-3909

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.

Sky Dragon Cuisine

Toronto, Ontario M5T 3A5

Bright Pearl Seafood

Bright Pearl Seafood is a Chinese restaurant that is beside Kensington Market on Spadina Avenue, right in the middle of Chinatown in Toronto. This is a place for lovers of seafood as evidenced by the huge fish tank at the entrance that has live lobsters, Vancouver bass and crabs and other seafood. A diner favorite is Peking Duck with mandarin pancakes.
