Choice Of The Orient

This restaurant deserves 5 stars! The food and service has always been great. Would definitely recommend for tasty chinese food! The restaurant serves some dishes on hot stone plates that come to your table sizzling! Don’t miss out on this restaurant! Truly a Richmond Hill Gem!

Ordered beef with flat noodles and bean sprouts, general tso chicken with vegetable spring roll and was very disappointed when I received my order. The vegetable spring roll was very mushy inside and I can tell it was frozen and fried. It tasted very stale. The beef with flat noodle was over cooked and too soft and did not taste fresh. The general chicken also tasted like it was not made to order. I ordered expecting better quality. I’ve had better outcomes in the past but today I cannot say the same.

While the interior is nice and the service is good, this is not a Chinese restaurant. They don't even give you chopsticks and the food is not prepared as it should be. Everything we ordered was flavourless. I've been to many asian restaurants before and ordered the same dishes but this place isn't even close to the same taste. If you don't want authentic Chinese food, then here is the place for you.

This is a review for takeout Sadly, his favourite dish, the Peking chicken $13.95, was the worst of the meal. It’s an item that doesn’t travel well, not because it becomes soggy – typically, it’s not crispy anyways, since it’s slathered in a thick sweet sauce – but rather because it’s made from lean chicken breast that’s cut into thick chunks, which after being sealed in a hot container for half an hour becomes SO overdone. My suggestion to COTO is consider cutting these thinner so that even overcooked they’re not quite as tough. Not being a fan of things like lemon chicken, the orange beef $13.50 had the same repulsive citrusy meat taste I detest. Nonetheless, I tried a piece and once the fruity flavour subsided, the spicy savoury sauce that was left behind was actually quite tasty. Give me the beef with Chinese broccoli $13.50 any day! Wok tossed with some oyster sauce, the dish doesn’t taste like it’s mixed with dish soap and there’s so much of the tender gai lan crammed into the container. Unlike chow mein, the noodles in the mixed vegetables lo mein $11.95 are left soft, which you would think is better for delivery. Except, it gets so soft that the dish has no texture at all. Thankfully, we had gotten an order of moo shu pork and the leftover filling went perfectly with the noodles, adding crunch and extra flavours that the lo mein was lacking. COTO provides four large pancakes with their moo shu pork $11.95 - you can really stuff these to the brim. Nonetheless, there was plenty of the wok hay laced filling leftover, a delicious addition to other dishes like the lo mein and fried rice. Despite the chicken fried rice $8.50 being such a rich hue, the soy taste was rather weak. On its own the dish is too bland, but considering it’s generally eaten in lieu of steamed rice, I can see why it’s left neutral so that it doesn’t become too salty once you add saucy dishes on top.

Our go to place for Chinese food. 5 minutes from home. No reservations but got a table right away. Food was up quickly, good attention from servers, always like their food selections, especially pot stickers. Lots left to take home. Going back soon.Food: 5/5

This restaurant thinks that they have the right to serve you 3 pieces of shrimp and hide the rest of the plate in sauce and vegetables. Complete rip-off you order meat and get 3 pieces. The other Choice of the Orient location is much better this one has gone down hill

We've been going to Choice of the Orient for years and the last few times we found the food disappointing. We ordered food over the weekend and one of the dishes was peppered ribs which more than half was coated fried pork fat. Not happy, I don't know why they think we won't notice. Won't order again from there. Thought we would give them a second chance on Oct. 26, 2022 Same, their quality has gone down. We ordered over $200.00 worth of food and we're not impressed. The mixed vegetables with almonds had 95% onion and celery and we counted 12 almonds. 3rd time not happening

I order from this restaurant on Christmas day, absolutely delicious, fresh food. Quick service, I leave close by this restaurant, every time I order take-out food, very happy ..highly recommend this place

I have been ordering from choice of the orient for years, the food is fantastic, always hot and fresh, delivery is fast, people that work there are friendly, definitely my go to place for a nice dinner at home or for a night out. Highly recommend!!

This place was nice. As soon as you sit down, they bring fried wontons with sweet and sour dip. We ordered the beef and broccoli and the chicken satay I believe it was called. I don't like that you have to pay $2 for a bowl of steamed rice - it should come with the dish you ordered. Other than that service was great and will be going back!
