The service attitude and hygiene are not good, and the food quality has also dropped.hard to do it again

They need to learn basic English. It took me 10 mins to explain to them that I want two bowls of congee with preserved eggs and pork, extra preserved eggs and extra pork. They got the order wrong at least 5 times.

Second time, I ordered online to save the hassle of doing it in person. I explicitly requested in the comment section to NOT include coriander. There's coriander in the congee when I opened it.

Please pay better attention to your customer needs. Not everyone speaks your dialect or chinese for the matter.

2nd time here. It’s a cozy dining place (looks small but seats quite a number of people). Service is efficient and staff is courteous. Food isn’t extraordinary but decent and fast (kinna an alternate go-to after the Wonton Trio place next door is now closed).

August 2023 Edit: Yummy Cantonese Restaurant is still the superior rice roll and congee restaurant in the area. The congee maintains its consistency and doesn't turn into a watery mess throughout the meal. The rice rolls have a great chewy texture without an excess of wheat starch. The portions are good.

Expect a line for dine in over the weekend. Highly recommend pre-ordering on the phone for take out. Staff are very quick but occasionally you'll see them try to let their regulars cut the line.

I tried the shrimp rice roll, scallop/pork/chive rice roll, and beef brisket rice noodle rolls. All of them were really good, fresh and good value. Their rice noodles have a good texture, and better than the popular Yin Ji Chang Fen.

The beef brisket noodle rolls was a huge portion and the beef was perfectly good.

Take out is fast and easy. I called to make my order and it was ready in ~10 minutes.

The food: The beef brisket noodle soup broth was flavorful and tasty, and the noodles were good as well but the beef brisket was not that good in comparison. The beef brisket has a tinge of cinnamon which I did not enjoy, as the beef brisket I usually eat does not taste like this. This cantonese food was alright, but I would not use yummy as the defining word for this restaurant. I would retitle this restaurant as Alright Cantonese Restaurant.

The tea: Complimentary hot tea was tasteless and lackluster. It tasted like hot water with a hint of nothing.

The chili oil: The chili oil enlightened me and brought joy to our otherwise bland meal. This will only apply to the chili oil fanatics like me, though, so take this review of chili oil with a grain of salt. The chili oil was flavorful and brightened up the other flavors in the food, which caused me to give this restaurant 3 stars instead of 2. The chili oil was splendid and enriched with flavor.

The service: The restaurant itself was full of people but probably not because the food is good, but because there are not many options for Cantonese food around here. The waiters were okay, but you must write down your order yourself. The food came out at a relatively okay pace, but three dishes that we ordered in the beginning did not arrive until almost 45 minutes later, after we finished the other dishes.

The ambience: The interior was alright, and the walls have a nice design, but only on one wall is there a design.

Restroom: The restroom exists, which is good. There was a small fly in the toilet that instilled fear in me as I released my bodily fluid into the porcelain bowl, but I finished my business quickly and then everything was alright.

Conclusion: I would not return to this restaurant. Everything was okay, but there are definitely better Cantonese restaurants out there that I would travel farther to eat at rather than eat here. I give this restaurant 3 stars, but my mother who did not receive her food until 45 minutes after we finished our food would like to give this restaurant 1 star. As we pulled out of the parking lot, a sign caught my eye: a restaurant called Perfect Chinese Restaurant. Next time, I will travel there for a meal instead, as I may not be bamboozled and fooled by their restaurant name as I was dining at Yummy Cantonese Restaurant.

When I placed the order, I said three or four times that no coriander should be put in the porridge. When I took it back and opened it, it was full of coriander! I used to add money to add rice rolls and lettuce, but when I took it back, I couldn’t find any vegetables. Can the person who placed the order have some snacks?

Great flavor at low price:) me and my gf drove 50 km to come here for their dishes, and we are not disappointed. Be mindful that they close early, but if you manage to give a call to put in the order, they can get it ready for you even 30 mins after they close.

One of the best restaurants for traditional Cantonese congee and noodles soup. Also, for those who like organs and other delicacies, this restaurant does it well. Love the variety of rice rolls that are made to order. Clean, fast and delicious. Highly recommend and will be back! It's always busy with line up but tables turnover very quick. It's worth the wait!

Yummy food, good service.
We have eaten fish & and beef congee.
The fish is fresh slices. We come often
As nearby in the heart of Scarborough.

I drove more than 4,500 km from Texas to Toronto to taste authentic Cantonese cuisine which we don't have in the city where I live in Texas. And this place came on top! I will visit again before heading back!

I eat berberine when I go home. Fortunately, there are 4 bathrooms in my house. Otherwise, there are not enough meals in your house for several people to grab

Generous portions but strange texture of the rice noodle rolls and the smell of the brisket. Worst of all, the waiter forces you to pay a certain amount of tips. Never will I visit it again.

The rice noodles were disappointing. They were too soft and the toppings were everywhere. Sweet soy sauce was watered down and lacked flavour. Lack of noodle selection for their soup noodle dishes. The deep fried dough fritters were delicious! Staff work hard but aren't very friendly.

Food is mediocre, but good portions. However they force you to pay in cash only even though I saw their pos machine right there. And they demand certain amount of tips. They should know that tips are earned. Will never visit again.

Loved their rice noodle rolls, congee was tasty too.
Beautiful paint works and wallpapers. Staff was nice and professionals.

I went here for dinner today. The pork liver porridge was very rubbish. When the porridge was served with blood on it, it was disgusting. Just think about the hygiene of the kitchen.

The taste of pork and beef rice rolls is average, and the bottom of the porridge is very watery, the food is served very slowly, the shop is small, and the price is relatively expensive.

You can order any dish from them without disappointment but amazement. They have the best and most authentic rice noodle rolls in the city. Congees are yummy too with fresh ingredients. Fried squid is great too. The price is reasonable as their dishes have good portions too. The staff are friendly and nice.

One of the best rice noodles that I have ever had. Every item from the menu is a solid 8-10 out of 10. They are packed with customers, keeping the price low in this hyperinflation era, providing high quality food, honestly, I am not expecting customer service at this price.
