We’re all addicted to Chinese food. It has the right combination of savoury and salty with so many different dishes to love like dumplings, hand-pulled noodles, braised pork and more. But with so many restaurants it can be hard to find the hidden gems in the bunch. This is why we made a list of the best Chinese restaurants in North York based on taste, price and variety.

This is a dim sum restaurant that focuses on creating food with a modern twist. The food really speaks for itself here. Many people visit this restaurant to celebrate their birthdays or for other special occasions. The ambience itself is beautiful; the darker-toned decor gives this place a more fancy feel. We recommend trying the Dim Sum at this place. A personal favourite is the deep-fried shrimp rolls.

You don’t just visit for the food but the ambience as well.

This place serves some delicious Northern Chinese dishes. This restaurant first opened in 1988 and now has expanded around Toronto. With over 33 years of experience, the menu has been perfected both in options and in flavour. We recommend trying the Peking Duck. You could choose to order as a whole or go with half the duck instead. Both are very filling and the duck itself has a strong fatty taste that we love.

Chinese Halal Restaurant opened in 2010 and serves everything from handmade noodles to dumpling dishes. But what they’re known for is their mouthwatering lamb dishes. The chefs really know how to work with the meat to bring out its flavour profile. We recommend trying the lamb skewers. This meat is tender and falls right off the stick. The spices used on this dish really seep through the meat.

This is a great place to visit if you’re looking for authentic food with fresh seafood options. This restaurant is located in the Bayview Woods Plaza. We recommend trying the spicy salted shrimp. This is both spicy and savoury. The shrimp itself breaks apart easily and goes together with any rice or noodle dish.

This place is great if you’d like a mix of comfort and new. Their food looks like it should be in a magazine with how well it’s presented. The casual restaurant has a price range of $12 – $22 and has a lot of great options to choose from. We recommend trying the Lobster E-Fu Noodles. The flavours are on point with this dish and the vegetables help give the meal a bit of a crunch. The tender noodles work well with the fresh lobster.

This popular Chinese restaurant has some great lunch specials offered here. The price ranges from $7 – $17 at this restaurant. We recommend trying the Crispy Ginger Chicken during lunch as the meal will come with soup and steamed rice. If you pay extra you can substitute it with Lo Mein Noodles as well.
