Disappointed. The food was bland and uninspired. The dumplings looked and tasted like they had been sitting around a while, not fresh. The mixed vegetables were lots of broccoli garnished with bits of other coloured vegetables. There should have been more baby corn, mushroom, baby bokchoy, water chestnuts, etc, as advertised in your menu. It also completely lacked flavour….any asian flavouring would have been nice. Basically, I paid almost $30 for semi-cooked broccoli and tepid, chewy dumplings. I expected a lot more from a place that’s been around since the ‘80s.
The best Chinese takeout in York Region. Must have dishes are: Shanghai noodles, general Tao chicken, tiger shrimp with garlic, sweet & sour chicken balls. I could go on but you should just order and taste it for yourself! Cash pay with get you a discount on pickup :)
At first I came into this beautiful restaurant with it welcoming me on my birthday with nice and quiet music. This restaurant is good for all ages, and, so is the food. The menu has a bunch of stuff to pick from, such as all the different soups, appetizers, chicken and seafood dishes, noodles, and specials. I recommend getting their fried rice and shrimp plate with there hot green tea if on a cold evening. The best part of this restaurant is how it has both takeout and dine in, yet it is not that expensive.
I've been to this restaurant almost 20 years ago for the first time. The decor has been updated since, but the food is just as great. And the service is still just as friendly and speedy. Try the beef tenderloin in black pepper sauce. It's awesome.
Been there four times lately as they recover from lockdowns. The dinner for 4 does an excellent job of feeding four people and the food comes hot and with pleasant staff, regular fills of water and checkups. However, on the fourth visit, we had to ask to order, the food was brought out one dish at a time and not hot, we had to ask for water and the bill. The restaurant was freezing cold and it appeared they were more anxious to deal with take-out than live customers. At least two of our party said they would not go back.
We've been going to Choice of the Orient for years and the last few times we found the food disappointing. We ordered food over the weekend and one of the dishes was peppered ribs which more than half was coated fried pork fat.Not happy, I don't know why they think we won't notice. Won't order again from there.
I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal! The price is very reasonable and it’s definitely a good deal for lunch! I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.
Quality of food is terrible. Customer service was terrible.I ordered noodles with vegetables, I received noodles with shrimp and chicken. Not what I ordered.Lemon chicken is completely dry and soggy, spring rolls were disgusting.When I called to complaint the response from whoever I spoke to was ‘well we can’t do anything about it now’.Over $60 dinner for 2 was complete waste of money. Couldn’t even eat the food. Basically all went to garbage.Definitely don’t recommend, hopefully the restaurant significantly improves the quality of the food.
Food is always great. Ordered NYE for takeout. It did not go well. They were not prepared for onslaught of orders. Our meal was ready an hour later than they promised. It was a minor issue and the only time they have let us down.
Food was surprisingly expensive for the quality. Tasted quite average. It was much better years ago. We won't be back.
