Chinese fast food

Rated this place:

We're not talking dirty north americanized breaded chicken balls and sweet and sour everything, but that stuff that you would get dished out on a daily basis by a chinese grandmother who would scold you for not finishing all your grains of rice because it would mean your husband would have that many pocks in his face. always have to ask for the rice noodles made fresh at the front for soups and get the long fried dough sticks for congee. maybe it's not that homey but it's good enough for me.

Great noodle soup dishes!

Rated this place:

Of all the casual Chinese restaurants along Spadina and Dundas in Toronto's Chinatown, King's Noodle stands out for their noodles. Just don't let the hanging roasted pigs and bright-orange squid in the front window scare you away. Step inside for a nice getaway to a typical Hong Kong eatery.

Having undergone a recent renovation about 2-3 years ago, it's as busy as ever at King's Noodle. Their speciality is - go figure - their Wonton Noodle Soup, made with the best wontons in Chinatown. Get the classic Wonton Noodle Soup with egg noodle or for the rice noodle for a fun change-up. You can combine your noodle soup dish to your heart's content with any of the additions: bbq pork, roasted pork, chicken, soya sauce chicken, bbq squid, beef brisket, and more.

If you like congee, King's Noodle isn't too bad but paired with the fried Chinese donut stick, it's a killer combination. King's Noodle also offers a great dim sum menu, ordered per dish at your table (no trolley carts being rolled around here). Another favourite of mine at King's is the Vegetable Rice Roll - great for a late night snack or light lunch.

King's Noodle Stands Tall

Rated this place:

Amidst the seemingly endless Asian eatery options presented on Toronto’s Chinatown strip, none stand quite as tall as King’s Noodle. With a clean, bright design, the space lends itself nicely to boisterous group sit-downs or late night top-ups. Ask one of the servers at King’s Noodle what a #61 is and, chances are, they’ll be right on the money. Considering there are enough items on the combined dinner menus to eat something new every day for a year or so (not to mention daily dim sum), you’ll likely be impressed. And when your food arrives, you’ll likely have a new favorite Chinese restaurant. Thanks to an atmosphere that’s casual and full of chatter, you’re sure to feel right at home at this monster Asian food party.

Quick lunch

Rated this place:

It's great to come here for a quick bite to eat during your lunch hour. The place is very inexpensive since with dim sum, you can share a lot of your dishes. On average, each plate was around $3 each, however you get what you pay for -- meaning there were some dishes I tried that I wish I didn't have to leave to waste because I didn't like how it was made. It gets very busy during lunchtime, but you can still count on them for a speedy and filling meal.

Chinese noodle soup

Rated this place:

Sweet pork slices, tender duck leg, crisp greens, the most succulent and generously stuffed pork and shrimp wontons and masses of thin egg noodles, together in one bowl, makes me very happy.
