⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 - This restaurant is amazing! - The staff are very kind - Incredibly affordable food for the amount they give you, and they are absolutely delicious. - Highly recommend their lemon chicken and tofu with veggies - pay in cash! I'm offered a small box of fried chicken for FREE everytime I do so ------ For over 15 years I would get my Chinese takeout from the Broadview-Gerrard area (since that's Chinatown, plenty of Chinese food there). However, their flavors and quality have grown really bland since and their foods are no longer as satisfying. Then I was recently introduced to Golden Wok and I wanted to try out some of the food I would often get from Chinatown (lemon chicken, tofu with veggies, egg fried rice, etc.) And I am proud to say that this is now my new go-to restaurant for Chinese takeout. The food was really mouth watering and savoury and tastes just as great as the ones I used to eat, and they're much more affordable than the ones in Chinatown. I highly recommend ordering their lemon chicken. And also PAY IN CASH, I'm offered a FREE box of fried chicken everytime I do so. It just sucks they're location is not the most optimal, as I would love to have them right on the main roads like Victoria Park or St Clair E, rather than a side street, but I guess that's where the hidden gems really are. Nevertheless, my review of them is still really great and 100% recommend to anyone for their next Chinese takeout.

This restaurant is dishonest after a price increase a couple weeks ago they have now remove a fried rice from their dinner for 6 which used to have two. Take in consideration the price increase and food reduction if I were to order an extra fried Rice it would cost me about 18 dollars more than it did a month ago. Very unprofessional business practices. This change was done without notice as I opted to reorder my last order and was not advised of the change. When speaking to the restaurant their attitude was that of not caring about the issue nor caring if I ever order again was even told to order elsewhere then if you don't like it. Very unprofessional and they only deliver with Uber Eats which is one of the most expensive delivery services out there to the consumer. If you want to be ripped off and treated like your business means nothing to them then order here by all means but if you like being treated well then this is NOT the place for you

  • Tara W

Unfortunately my review will be changing from a 5 star to 1 star. Today I ordered General Tao Chicken and Chicken fried rice among a few other items. The General Tao was a huge portion but it was all batter. I think we cut open 2-3 pieces that had Chicken out of the 25-30 pieces. Sorry I didn’t pay $10 for ver overcooked hard batter. Also, the egg in the chicken fried rice was orange not sure why. And the rice was very hard and dry. I will not be ordering from here again. * FROM 2-3 years ago. The food here is so good. It's been awhile since I found a good Chinese restaurant that I enjoyed .

  • Alanna Klatt

After finding a worm/ maggot in the brocolli from the beef and broccoli dish I ordered on June 25-2020, I called Golden Wok to tell them I just ordered and this is what I found and the lady told me THAT IT IS COMMON and refused a refund or any help at all. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN not because I found a worm on my food but because of the disrespect and complete lack of customer service. Im sorry, i do not order food from a restaurant with the understanding that it might come with a side of worms.

  • KitKat

I bought combo D and it was horrible. I’m kinda mad I chose this restaurant as a dinner option tonight. The shrimp was mostly dough, chicken balls were decent rice had this weird smell and the eggs or the chicken bits added to the rice made the whole plate smell fresh now if you know the smell of something smelling fresh then you know it’s a turn off from the whole meal. I tried soy sauce hot sauce and still garbage. Don’t waste your time buying food from here not worth the money at all!

  • Ed Ward

Food was terrible, everything came dry and just didn't taste right. My family usually keeps leftovers, not here, right to the garbage. Wanted to like this place to because our place we usually get from are moved/moving. Portion size is good and the price is technically good for how much food you do recieve but I'd personally rather spend a little more and get something worth eating. Plus the service from the woman there was awful and she was rude...definitely wont be back.

  • Ray Wallwork

I have never been so pleased with a meal in my life. I just moved to the area and I will be coming here a lot for sure. I got the sweet and sour chicken balls, chicken fried rice, lemon chicken, beef and broccoli, and the general chicken. Everything was not only delicious but perfectly made and HUGE. I am going to be enjoying this for the next few days and it will likely be a struggle not to immediately order more when I run out. 10/10.

  • Ryan Endoh

Good value for your money. The location serves the incubated neighbourhoods of the Northern half of Dawes Road ( Park Vista to Victoria Park) with cheaply priced Chinese food. The portions are great. I recommend the Black Pepper Beef, Lemon Chicken and Chili Chicken (served on a bed of fried rice). The only option I haven't enjoyed are the Chicken wings. They are a tad too crispy (heavy batter) and sometimes overdone.

  • Sharyne Williams

I got the spicy pepper shrimp with small steamed rice. The shrimp is breaded and lays in a bed of spices, onion and green pepper. The shrimp could of been a bit spicier and it was a bit overly breaded. I wish there was more green pepper in the veggie mix and a tad less onions. However, in the end the flavour was there and tasted good. It’s a good place for a quick and short notice meal

  • Shelamaze

The sweet and sour chicken as well as the orange chicken dish contains a lot of flour dough pieces covered in sauce, there’s no actual chicken in 90% of these pieces if dough and that’s deceptive. They use a lot of cornstarch sauce and vegetables to bulk up there meal to get away with putting less meats in the dishes. I won’t be ordering here again. Cheap isn’t always good.

  • Хэрнани Маркэс

I found a maggot on my food and called them in right after and I was told that It’s common to find worms/maggots on their food since that’s the way they get their stuff from their suppliers and they couldn’t and wouldn’t do anything about it. The lady on the phone was really rude and didn’t show any respect or consideration about the whole situation/customer service.

  • Jane Moffat

The worst food ever!! The hot and sour soup was a bright red, glutinous mess. Egg roll coating was like cardboard and was filled with tasteless sprouts and nothing else. All food was cold on arrival. The chowmein and shrimp with veg were both cornstarchy, bland and contained way too many- you guessed it-sprouts!! Oh and the shrimp could have doubled as racquetballs.

  • Matt MacKenzie

DO NOT EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT!!!! Terrible food, has no flavour and awful ingredients. The “General Tao’s chicken” had literally no meat. Just deep fried breading in tasteless sauce. When I say “literally no meat”, that’s not exaggeration. This “meat” dish would meet vegan requirements. Every single piece in the container. Pics attached.

  • Clever Luu

Husband and I order from here occasionally. Usually very good. Sweet and sour pork was crispy and had a normal meat to batter ratio. Fried rice is good! Husband likes their beef with vegetables. Picture is of Combo A: Chicken fried rice, spring roll, chop suey, sweet and sour pork. Lady that works there is super friendly.

  • Inah Hae

We ordered General Tso's Chicken (sweet) but 3/4 of the order is crispy corn flour. And the bbq ribs is too dry. The soft noodles was okay. But the beef Broccoli is good enough in taste. Just disappointed with the chicken and bbq ribs.

The beef is white…. Sweet & sour chicken has no chicken, just breading. Beef & broccoli isn’t cooked in sauce. Just straight oil UPDATE I have food poisoning. 13 hours later I can’t leave from the bathroom for more than 5 minutes

General Tao had absolutely NO CHICKEN in it. Just fried batter and WAY too much sweet sauce. Noodles and fried rice had no flavour. Was a loyal costumer up until this recent experience, will advise against moving forward.

I’ve tried combo A and D both are great! It says serves one but my mom and I can happily share as the portion is good. Food is prepared fresh and was served hot, very fast pickup too. My new favourite place to support during this pandemic

  • Scott Turner

Worst chinese food ive ever had, EVER! Bland and nothing but onion, soo much onion in all the dishes and WAY too much batter on the chicken and pork. Horrible, but my fault I guess for ordering the cheapest around. Never again!

  • Wayne Hendrix

Great stuff here. One of the better places around for general toas chicken. Prices can't be beat, and they are so fast. they always say 15 minute wait cause they're busy, but they almost always serve me after about 5 minutes.

  • James Paxton

Prices are fair, and the portions are large. Only bad thing to say is sometimes they leave too much liquid with the vegetables, and it leaks out and gets the take out bag wet. Otherwise, simply divine. Give it a shot.

  • mark dzikowski

worst Chinese food take out.. no flavor and general tso has no meat in and chilli chicken the same thing.. all batter and no meat and so hard and crunchy that it's not edible . so disappointed.. I will never go back

  • Justine Coll Mansfield

Ordered on Uber Eats and it was delicious! Definitely the best Chinese food we have had in a long time. Great portion sizes- especially the chicken balls, they were gigantic! The beef and broccoli was our favourite.

  • Ahnaf Tahmid

The General Tao chicken is divine. The only reason I don't go there more often is because their portions are too big (which I guess isn't really a bad thing). Also their prices for their lunch specials are amazing.

  • Mumu Islam

I've been going there ever since they opened .. close to where I live.. I crave spicy, fried authentic take out; I go there.. as for some comments about their customer service .. so far with me it's been amazing. .

  • funkey monkey

They have good food but they are super cheap one sauce per item it's ridiculous. It's honestly ridiculous it cost them nothing but they're so stingy.

Best in the city. Their spring rolls are great, portions huge and most importantly their noodles are not loaded with grease. Highly recommend for great quality and value …

  • Pamela

Excellent food with large portions. We had the general tso, pineapple fried rice and combo D. We were very impressed! I highly recommend this restaurant. Very very tasty!!

  • Lexmar Leyno

Got the chicken fried rice. Chicken was dry and hard and some of the rice seemed to be recooked or something because it was crusty. Most of the rice was okay overall.

  • Amir Roushan

Really low quality. General tao chicken had no chicken. Just deep fried beading. The beef in the beef and broccoli had a rancid taste. Definitely not fresh.

  • Allan Mascarenhas

The hair was mixed with chicken and the food is extremely oilly. Will never order from here. Made a big mistake of giving this place a try.

  • Tracy X. Morel

Pretty disappointing wanted to support restaurants but the we actually threw some of the food away it was so bad. These reviews all look fake...

  • Elsa Major

The breading on the sweet and sour pork was thick, the pork once you get pass the breading taste like minced meat. I could never eat that again.

  • Emma McCartney

Food arrived with one box half open and most of the sauce in the bag. General Tso’s chicken was just sad. Noodles were fine, but I’m still sad.

  • cindy boo

THEY HAD HORRIBLE SERVICE. THEY DID NOT GIVE MY FULL ORDER THEN STARTED YELLING AT ME TO PAY AGAIN. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN!!!

The portions are good but it’s not the best quality. A lot of the items seem previously frozen. It’s not bad but it could be better.
