Choice of the Orient

Excellent supper here. We came because of the reviews on Unilocal.
Food was hot and fresh. Excellent variety. Staff was very attentive without being overly involved.
Would definitely come back!

Ordered a meal for one person, veg fried rice and wings, and it came up to $ 18.90. Asked if it was for one person, he said. «Yes that’s what it comes up to «. Call me cheap but wow.!.

I had a very disappointing experience today. Coming in after reading the reviews, I had high expectations. Everything tasted bland and proportions were super small compared to the many Chinese restaurants I’ve tried. I ordered a Shrimp Fried Rice, Shanghai Noodles, Peking chicken, Tiger Shrimp, and three bowls of Hot & Sour Soup. This may seem like a lot of items for a whopping $ 81 but it was in fact not. Peking chicken was basically sweet and sour sauce dumped on grilled chicken. The shrimp although was a fair size, they basically just tossed in with onions over the stove with a pinch of salt, and threw it on a skillet. Nothing I tasted was impressive. Service however, was good hence the two stars, but man I am so upset I came in to pay for an $ 81 meal that tasted like something I got from Manchuwok.

Good food, freshly prepared and fast service. We had the sizzling seafood dish, crispy ginger chicken and fries rice, all was great and cooked to perfection, fish was tender, chicken moist inside and crispy outside and fried rice was light and not oily. Would definitely recommend.

Serving good fresh food, never had a bad meal. Great hot and sour soup and best lemon chicken. Get take out and pay cash will save you money.

Pretty good fast food. The rice is not that dark brown or extra fried, it’s a nice golden colour. Good quality, egg rolls are nice and full. I would order again.

My family and I have been going there for the past 20 years. Excellent service and great food. Portions are amazing and so is the price. Every time I go there I feel at home. Best wonton soup, everything is very fresh. Good for take-​out and dine-​in. I highly recommend this place it hasn’t change at since I was a little girl.

I dropped in to order takeout. Great food at decent prices for the Woodbridge area. You won’t really find a better Chinese restaurant in Woodbridge.
There is a discount if you order over the phone and pick it up. You may have to pay in cash, though.

Tasty, low (or no) MSG in most dishes, clean (food, waiters, restaurant overall). What else can you ask for?
Keep in mind that this is not your typical Chinese food restaurant. Food doesn’t have as much MSG, and thus the taste is not as intense, but it’s healthier as a result. Other than the intensity of the taste, food is tasty and feels like it has quality ingredients.
Place looks and feels upscale (if somewhat dated), even though prices are quite reasonable and most clientele is dressed casually.

This is by far the best Chinese food place we have been able to find in the Vaughan area, and we’ve been trying.
We’ve been to the location on Yonge St many times and have always been pleased with the taste, quality and consistency of the food. When we moved to Vaughan we were looking for the same quality and found this location.
Time and again we try other places, but nothing has come close to compare to Choice of the Orient.

Just finished a great, three-​dish delivered meal, and I have to say, it far exceeded my expectations for delivered Chinese food. This was not your run-​of-​the-​mill, lukewarm, bastardized Chinese food. By the same token, it certainly wasn’t Morimoto, but neither was I looking for that. I just wanted some decent, tasty Chinese food, delivered in a reasonable amount of time and at a decent price.
Well… I got that, and a whole lot more. Starting with the gentleman who took my order, to the fortune cookie, everything exceeded my expectations. The fellow who answered my call was courteous and knowledgeable and answered my questions easily and happily. The food arrived apprx. 20 minutes sooner than quoted and was piping hot! The deliveryman was friendly and courteous, and was quite thankful for my reasonable (20%) tip.
I ordered Moo shee pork, peppered squid, vegetable fried rice and an egg roll. The egg roll was your standard delivery fare. Not great, but tastier than most and nice and hot and crispy. But that’s where the standard fare left off. The moo shee pork was tender and moist, combined with cabbage and carrots that were sweet and tender, and tasted as fresh as any I’ve had. Cooked absolutely spot-​on, and seasoned perfectly. The pancakes (wrappers) were extremely good, and better than some higher end restaurants I’ve been in. Tender, moist and warm. Large enough to hold a very generous portion of pork and veg. Nearly see-​through, yet strong enough not to tear. They were melt-​in-​your-​mouth delicious!
The peppered squid was absolutely scrumptious! Perfectly crispy yet tender and cooked to perfection. A wonderful combination of salty and spicy, not over-​bearing, witth a perfect balance in textures. The best I’ve had in quite a while!
The vegetable fried rice was also surprisingly delicious! The rice was tender and perfectly moist. Tossed in were a generous amount of mixed vegetables — julienned carrots so uniform in size, you’d swear they were grown that way. Mushroom, onion and peas rounded out the mix. All cooked spot on with just the right amount of seasoning. Not over-​dosed in soy sauce as so many do.
Usually, one doesn’t expect too much from delivered food, but this dinner was miles beyond what you’d normally find.
Two nice little surprises were the side of hoisin sauce for the wraps. I’d bet it was homemade.
And the wee packet of spicy, Chinese mustard. I’ve had it often in higher end Asian restaurants while dining in, but have NEVER had it in a delivery, and I was just tickled to see it when I opened the bag. An absolutely perfect little touch to the meal!
All in all, a delightful experience and I would highly recommend this restaurant (at least the delivery side of it, as I’ve yet to dine in there) to anyone looking for some wonderfully delicious Chinese food, delivered hot, and quickly to your door, at a VERY reasonable price.
I give it a solid 4 ½ stars for sure!
