Worst Chinese Restaurant

[darkprince]

Pros:
Asian Owner
Asian Worker

Cons:
Bad Service
Crappy Food
Over Charged
Dirty
Fake Chinese Food
Scam

Conclusion: This restaurant is located near Spadina and Harbord. Pretty sure people from University of Toronto will know about this place. Because I can honestly say this restaurant and its menu is made for conning Non-Asians.

Example their Chow-Mien is nothing but a full plate of Bean-sprouts with little bit of soy sauce for color and you pay 6$ for it. FYI Bean-sprouts cost only 20cents a pound in the supermarket. And they charging 6$ for 2 ounces of bean-sprouts and few drops of soy sauce.

yeap, i remember that restaurant, i ate at it a couple of times when i was at UT, but it wasn't that bad then (few years ago), i wouldn't be surprise if it went downhill

[uvadtmfub]

It looks bad enough from the outside already

Habour? You mean Harbord?

Place looks pretty run down. I don't think I'd ever consider eating there anyway.

[UrbanPoet]

what do you expect when you go to a place that looks like that?
It just seems like one of those places where you go in, get your food, and GTFO.

Kinda like those small crappy pizza places... $3 gets you a slice of pizza & pop... Dont expect gourmet.

What about Mandarin? Asian-owned, right? But ... what a joke!

[drowsy]

yes, this particular place on Harbord is very very bad.

I usually will not try to eat at any china town restaurants, because:

1. I do not live near there
2. May check kitchen area for cleanliness
3. May check washroom area for cleanliness

If the Kitchen + Washroom looks crap, I don't think the owners care about their food. I've heard stories of food poisoning form eating in China town, so I'd be aware of eating there.

I wouldn't able to find a decent Chinese Restaurant around 1KMs from the place OP complained.

That's how ManChu Wok does their "Chow-Mien", bean sprouts and just as overpriced. I wouldn't even call these places "Chinese".

Some of you guys use too much hyperbole. The place sounds like a rip-off in regards to price but it doesn't sound terrible enough to be the worst deserving it's own thread.

What's with some of you making RFD your own personal blog and venting forum?

[dasaylay]

OP are you even asian? Anyone with a decent sense for chinese food would've avoided that place altogether in the first place...

You mean I've been getting scammed!? I've been paying .99 for 500g of bean sprouts.

StarWalk is pretty disgusting

[molala]

even mandarin use bean sprout as chow mein
