Reviews
Love this restaurant. If it was only a bit cheaper, I'd eat here so much more often. But I think you get what you pay for.
Their Peking Duck is one of the best in the GTA at the moment. But be warned, it is also pricier - I believe $70. If you are eating in a small group, it may get expensive. But if you have a bigger group (10 people), they have some Set Menus that are quite worth it if you can pay cash. On my last visit, we ordered a set that came with Peking duck in two courses, lobster, sweet and sour pork, steamed fish, snow pea leaves, and dessert. We did add noodles and crispy chicken (whole), which was the perfect amount of food for us. After tax and tip, we paid $50 each with a table of 11. Honestly not bad at all, but not comparable to Chinese restaurant prices in the past (of course).
I'd recommend everything that we ordered. The taste is great and the portions are actually quite good, especially the steamed fish. I'll definitely be back, make sure to bring cash to access the Set Menu.
Pleasantly surprised with how decent the food was ! Good service and environment as well. Make sure you make a reservation beforehand.
Highly recommend their duck fried rice and clam steam egg. Peking duck always a gem!
Amply pleased with the food! I was craving some hot soup.. the hot and sour soup was just about perfect! The meat (baked chicken) dish with spring onion and ginger was quite flavourful. Will go back again but will probably try something boneless.. had to use fork and chopsticks to get the meat off the bones lol! Friendly and helpful staff members! Family friendly.
Fried noodles with beef 干炒牛河was really good. Dim sum was a bit disappointing, especially the shrimp dumplings. Will try more next time
Peking duck was exceptional. It was well seasoned, had minimal fat and perfect crispy skin, giving it a delectable texture. Definitely come for the Peking duck as that's what they are best known for.
Beef Tender Caton Style ($22.80) was surprisingly delicious. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. It was undeniably succulent, tender and soft. Price varies for the Green Bass fish, depending on season. I wouldn't recommend it as it cost $56 for a fish. Overall, great experience and fantastic food for a high price.
The best chinese cuisine restaurant in Toronto. Beautiful decors, clean and comfortable atmosphere. Friendly staff and excellent food. We dine here 2-3 times a week. Highly recommended this restaurant.
The food at J&Y is very good. It’s true what the other reviews are saying about the Peking Duck. I don’t know a better place for Peking Duck. The wrappers are super thin which is good. The only issue is they are not generous with the condiments for the Peking Duck, so you will have to order (and pay) for another set. I knew this ahead of time, so I just order two sets.
The other reviews rave about the fried pork ribs which are good, but their Sweet and Sour Pork is really good. That will always be one of the dishes each time we go.
The quality and taste can also be extended to all the other dishes we had. Everything was very good.
The service is also very good. Waiter we very quick to fill out request, take away finished plates, top up tea when needed, and replace eating plates.
I would highly recommend J&Y. It’s our go to place for tradition Chinese food.
I love Cantonese Chow Mein, it’s one of my go to dishes whenever I go to a new Chinese restaurant. Performed a google search and saw that J&Y was reviewed as having the best Cantonese Chow Mein and I wanted to find out for myself how good it was.
Finding the place was challenging to say the least. There is construction happening right outside of the restaurant’s entrance and it’s specially hard to find. The best directions I can provide is just go next to the Life Labs, although you won’t be able to see the entrance the restaurant is next to it. To find the entrance keep walking in that direction and you will spot the side door you see in the pictures I posted.
The Cantonese chow mein was not as good as I was expecting it. The noodles were not crispy and the sauce lacked in flavour. On the other hand the general Tsao’s chicken was superb. Crispy, spicy, and tangy, it truly was the dish that made my experience worthwhile at this restaurant. We also ordered the special fried rice and the chicken soup and both were good.
The service was very attentive, so I would recommend this place, but this is not the best Cantonese chow mein around by a long shot.
