9) New Sky Restaurant

New Sky is a Chinese bistro that serves delicious Cantonese dishes in Chinatown by Spadina. Their storefront may not look the most enticing, but I can guarantee you the quality of food is definitely up there. If you’re looking for something that’s healthy and delicious, the steam fish is a great option. The fish is fresh and it’s packed with flavour from the seafood soy sauce and green onions. But be careful, as this dish contains many tiny bones.

You probably walked past this place if you’ve been to Chinatown in Toronto. You can easily recognize this place by the alluring barbecued meats that are displayed by the window at the storefront. You cannot get enough of the roasted duck here, similar to the Peking duck, the skin is crispy and the meat inside is moist and juicy. Pair that with a bowl of rice and you’ll have yourself a great meal.
