Thanks | You remind me of my dad as well as many other Chinese parents when talking about food. First 2 things that come out of their mouth is cheap and large portions. How about we focus on the food actually tasting good lol
Btw Kens is not pretty good, it's pretty bad...

Thanks | If you want cheap and huge portions, then go to any Chinese food court like the one in Yaohan after 6 or 7pm and they'll be clearing out their stuff for cheap.

Not quite near where you are looking for. But I find the Main St Congee Noodle house on Broadway and Main to be one of my favorites. The food tastes pretty damn good too. I eat a lot and I find there's always enough to take home...

Hard to beat!

My go to for cheap-ish, large, tasty Chinese food would be along kingsway Joyce area would be:
Congee Noodle King
Honolulu
Crystal Mall food court
A bit more expensive, smaller portion but tastier would be:
Happy Date
Old Xian Noodle

6:30pm - depends
7:00pm - when they start doing $24 for 3 dishes
7:30pm - some might do $24 for 3 dish + 1 noodle or rice

Fuck i miss Kam Do on Alexandra road, that place was my go to for big eats for small price. Silver Tower is still pretty legit for portion size for a good price, food aint that bad.
The One Cafe on Kingsway still gives big portions for the fried rice, and there's always crystal mall, kingspark in the mall has good portions for around 8 dollars

FYI Ken's kitchen just had its last day of operations. It got sold but unsure of the details of what the new place is.

Take that with a grain of salt though as everyone has different tastes and you'll never know until you try yourself.
