My family has been going here since the 80s and only in the last 5 years or so have I started to go back (to bring friends, my gf who have never been here). The wings are overrated (especially since I don't like to use the lemon pepper sauce); would rather stick to the Luc Lac rice and peashoot tips (comfort food items). The menu is by and large average at best (noodle soups are terrible).

I find it has been consistent from what I remember as a kid but Chinatown is getting ruined these days. I would continue to enjoy while you can before it's completely run over by hipsters/yuppies.

Brado 6/10
Large poutine. Fries were OK. Salty gravy and decent amount of cheese. Great filler and reasonably inexpensive. Very friendly old man. Pretty much everything else on the menu involves dunking in oil.

Taste of Paradise 6.5/10
Chicken shwarma. Ran out of lamb (daily special). Chicken was nicely seasoned but way overcooked. They press-grill with the wrapper on. I liked the sesame/homous spread added on. Friendly guy. Not bad but nothing memorable.

Bella Pizza on Hemlock 6.5/10
Probably the worse Bella Pizza location I've had (been to 3 so far). Overly chewy dough and acidic sauce. Good amount of toppings, however. $29 for 2 mediums on the expensive side for the quality.
