Backyard Garden Restaurant

There are a few really good dishes. The spicy chicken is quite flavourful and hot. One of my favorites. Lunch specials are ok but don't come with rice. Portions are ok. Not terribly expensive, but not super cheap. Overall it's quite good IMO. Service is so so.

So good! Friendly staff and delicious food. Will definitely go back. Had the crispy spicy chicken and the hot dumplings. They serve beer here too. Great atmosphere with plenty of tables. Would recommend this place if you are from out of town and want some good Chinese food. Next time I'm trying the crispy beef. Looked so good in the menu picture.

I ordered a chicken with Chili Sauce and this was served to me. A single dish had over 100 peices of full length dry chillies. I asked the female server why there is so much raw chillies in there and literally no chicken at all and she pretended to not understand my question. I am sure no one in this world would consume this many chillies in a day. I also ordered chicken fried rice and it was all mushy rice with few peices of green beans and peaces in their. I have ordered one more dish and it was dry like cooked yesterday. For my taste nothing I could have eat. So I asked for the bill as I approached the counter. Total bill was $44.75. Since me and my friend both had not touched the food I had no desire to pay any gratuity. I gave her a $50 bill and she offered no change back. They don't even accept charge card but cash only. Bottom line is that others may like the food but it was not to my teste and bad service could be due to language barriers. Thanks.

Been coming here since this was Ban Mu Yuan/Schezuan Legend. Great food here. I love their fried chicken soaked in salted egg yok served with peas, corn, and carrots. And fu ji fei pian. Kao Rao Chinese bacon. Mi Feng rice noodles. And their pastries filled with ice cream as dessert.

Backyard Garden is not 'Westerner' friendly. I was born in Canada but was raised in a traditional-Chinese food setting. True Szechuan Chinese food is hard for other cultures to understand - full of chilis, bad cuts, and grease. But make no mistake - if you're looking for a truly authentic Szechuan affair, Backyard Garden is probably the best restaurant I have found in Toronto that stays true to their cultural roots. Think of this like fine-cheese - for those who like strong flavours, it's the best thing out there. For most however, they would rather have a nice mild cheddar.

Came for lunch. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken lunch combo. $7.99 The hot and sour soup that came with it was very good, chicken was tasty, not syrupy or over breaded. Service was much better than most Chinese places in the area. Will come back for dinner one night.

Restaurant has been in this location for a long time and understandably so. Nice casual spot that offers an assortment of authentic Sichuan dishes. Hard to miss as their restaurant windows are covered with the dishes they offer here.

Newly renovated. Tasty Asian food.

Good quick service and flavorful food, but I'm staying away from their General Tso chicken if I ever go back there. Other Chinese restaurants make it with boneless chicken but there were plenty of bones in this one. Each piece was bite-size but that's because it was cut-up drumsticks with bones attached. I think I even swallowed a few bone fragments. I'll get a different chicken dish if I go back.

Poor service. Food is just ok. Not worth it. I checked my order with reception and she told me kitchen was PREPARING my order. I was standing in front of her for OVER 20mins she told me one of my dishes spicy fish was no longer available. And my order other 3 dishes was sent to kitchen AFTER I said I don’t want spicy fish anymore. Basically I’m waiting for nothing for 30mins... she was swearing about how busy she is all along
