Delicious food, good portions, large selection - Edit
The service was better than I expected based on other reviews here, but it was mid-afternoon when I went so perhaps that made a difference.
Read moreThey have me a menu and a piece of paper so I could write down my selections. We got the spring rolls, eggplant and tofu, Shanghai noodles (from the "chef's special" section) and fried rice with vegetarian chicken, though I wasn't sure if the chick'n was vegan so my friend had that. (The menu didn't indicate what vegan or vegetarian anywhere that I could tell.)
The food was delicious, with generous portions, and the prices were good.
Pros: Delicious, Affordable, Good portions
Cons: Unclear what's vegan vs. vegetarian

Good value - Edit
Haven’t seen many recent reviews of this place so I’ll add one in. I give it 5 stars not because the food is absolutely amazing, but because for the price, this place is definitely worth it. The food is good, portions are big, and the price is low. What else could you ask for?

no service - Edit
The reviews for this place were years old so I thought I would give it a try. I like to help update Happy Cow when I can. The older reviews are still completely accurate. The place is a hole in the wall and not inviting. In the front of the store they had what looked like a buffet. I asked the waitress if it was a buffet. She said no gave me a pot of tea and a menu and disappeared without a hint of a smile. Then I kept waiting and waiting and waiting.... While sitting there I noticed all the food sitting in front was not under heat lamps! I thought that didn't seem food safe. Still waiting I read through the old reviews and saw that someone said lotus pond down the street was much better. Finally I thought I will give her 5 more minutes. After the 5 minutes passed -for the first time in my life- I just left. I drove a kilometer down the road to Lotus pond where I was greeted by a very friendly waitress who took my order in minutes and was very glad of my decision.

Pretty disappointing - Edit
We ordered the kung-pao tofu (chef special), fried noodles with mock seafood and fried spring rolls. None were memorable. The spring rolls were very greasy and the sauce for the seafood dish was watery.
Read moreI get the sense the food was hit-and-miss, and we just happened to miss. Some of the other dishes we saw looked good.
The waitress was very stressed and unfriendly. Before any food arrived she banged down an unasked-for empty plate and a single fork in front me (I'm a white male), while ignoring my girlfriend, who is of Asian descent. Pretty ironic as I lived in Japan for years and can operate chopsticks on an advanced level (re: whilst very drunk on sake). I'm used to the assumptions, however.
Since it's buried deep in the heart of Scarborough, I'd not likely ever go back. Lotus is just up the road and it's tons better in atmosphere and offerings.
On the upside it was pretty cheap and there is booth seating.

SUPER HUGE PORTIONS!!! - Edit
6.95 CND (before tax and before the gratuity): Black bean sauce chicken (made of tons of rolled tofu leaves) kwetiau (flat rice noodle). Luckily, we brought 2 food containers, *whew*! Free tea (Simon's Wok also : free tea).
Read morePros: SUPER HUGE PORTION(S), Yummy
Cons: tea taste: ?!?!?!
