Cynthia's Chinese Restaurant

Delicious and authentic Chinese cuisine, hosted in a restaurant flourishing with gilded age Oriental decor. The crispy beef is out of this world!

My favourite Chinese restaurant by far. Good service too. The meat is great quality compared to other Chinese restaurants. Very tasty food.

Once we were seated, we were asked about drinks and said we wanted water. I should have questioned the waitress when a bottle of Evian ($7.50) came to the table. Oh well!
The beef in black bean sauce was good, but the egg foo young was bland and had far too much onion. We ate less than half of it.
There was a singer, who did nice renditions of Sinatra and Leonard Cohen songs, but was a bit uneven on the others songs, but overall, enjoyable.

If you been in Toronto since the late 80's, then you will appreciate what this restaurant has to offer. A very traditional Canadian Chinese setup, where staff is dressed in traditional Chinese wardrobe to enrich your dining experience. Whether you take-out or dine-in, the service is fantastic and the food is delicious. Live entertainment can also be found at the Thornhill location. I recommend the combo trays if you are doing take-out. This place is on the pricier side of things, but not terribly bad.
