Cynthia's Chinese Restaurant

The overall rating at 3.9 really doesn't do this restaurant justice. It's clean, offers great service, as well as delicious and quality food. I think it deserves at least a 4.5 overall rating. We had the B Set for 2 which is at $35.95 each. Every one of the dishes was good! We enjoyed the starters which comprised the Hot and Soup, Wonton Soup quality meat!, Fried Chicken Dumplings, Spring Rolls, and Samosas yum!. The mains - Lemon Chicken, Fried Garlic Shrimps, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Veggie Noodles - were tasty too! Glad we came here despite the rating. Recommended!

Wow still the best Chinese food consistently great quality, Lemon Chicken, Egg Foo Yonge etc Reasonably priced, clean, and authentically decorated It’s a must try, always busy because there food rocks. Thanks Mark

Cynthia's is simply the best in Chinese cuisine. My family always makes a point of visiting for special occasions, and have never been disappointed. The decor and costumes worn by the staff add to the adventure. Try "Ok Chicken" and you will understand how amazing the menu is. Thanks so much to Cynthia and her amazing staff for creating so many special memories.

This was by far the worst experience. where do I begin? The food was awful and everything was either tasteless or old like it was cooked a week prior and warmed up. Not sure who thought it was sanitary to put a plastic artificial flower as “decoration” inside every dish!!! They also thought it was a good idea to start vacuuming and preparing to close an hour before as customers are still eating. It was so loud with the vacuum running that we had a hard time hearing each other. I’m sorry but that is not professional!!! we ended up paying 400+ dinner bill for five of us. So disappointed and embarrassed that I took my friends there. Waste of money and time. One star rating is generous!!!

Chinese dining elevated away from the typical grab-and-go Chinese shops we often see around town. Staff welcome you into a well appointed dining room that always impresses someone going in for the first time. The menu is vast and most items are done well. The peking duck is very much celebrated when served, with a gong and by-the-table prep. The take-out packaging is well thought out so food carries well. The lunch specials are very tasty and with generous portions - a more affordable to experience the restaurant.

It’s incredible! The service was amazing. All of tye food was piping hot and came out at the same time. If you are in the mood for slightly upscale Chinese food, doesn’t get better. Best hot and sour soup I have ever had, and their crispy OK beef is amazing.

Some really great Chinese food at Cynthia’s and we’ve eaten our fair share in Toronto. Very good quality ingredients. Also, our waitress, Alice, was a really upbeat, bubbly and fun server. She even remembered the desert that we had forgotten the name of. The garlic butter prawns and the spare ribs are tremendous. Keep up the good work.

Dined in and ordered $200 of food with my family with the intention of taking some food home. After our meal, I asked the waiter to pack up the remaining food. When I got home all the dishes were not packed separately ruining all the food. I called the manager and he told me that they pack food altogether in order to use fewer containers and save money. They packed seafood with chicken and spicy dishes with non-spicy food. Essentially ruining the entire meal. I called and spoke with the manager and he explained that he was sorry but it was my fault because I had to request that the different dishes be packed in separate containers. I asked him what he could do for me to make up for this situation and he said he would do nothing. I have never taken food home from a restaurant that packed different dishes in the same container. The assumption was made that I should know better and needed to ask to have food packed separately. I do not find the restaurant's response acceptable and I had to throw out over 100.00 dollars worth of food. I won't be returning to Cynthia's. They can save money on containers but finding customers who will put up with their cutting corners may prove to be more difficult. The management was dismissive, unhelpful, and did nothing to take responsibility for a problem the restaurant created.

Still Going Strong After All These Years!! I've been going to Cynthia's for what seems like forever. Over the years I've had family dinners, graduations dinners, promotion celebrations, birthdays, nights out, dates, and other reasons to eat there. I've had food off the regular menu and food from the group menus. I live in Markham now and food is different, but Cynthia's has a great combination of classic Chinses dishes, North-American style dishes and not only that they also can cater to almost any dietary request. They have always been good with that. Cynthia's is not only a great restaurant but it has a very opulent decor with an almost theatre-like dining experience. One of the reasons I keep coming back is the food. Over the years the food has been consistent in flavour, freshness and presentation. When you go to a place like this you must know already what you like from the sauces to the cooking style. This way you'll always get a great meal. You will find beef dishes, pork, chicken, and seafood dishes as well as vegetarian/Vegan. Call ahead and let them know when you make your reservation what the dietary concern or food allergy may be. They have always been great at accommodating special requests. Over the years there has only been once or twice that there was something I didn't like with the dish, and they more than happily replaced it with a fresh plate or offered a suggestion for something else. The same for any other person who was with me at the table. Service is one thing you will get in droves. The well-dressed staff are always happy and polite and there to help you have a great experience. This is why I keep coming back. This night was no different, we had a large group with kids, folks with allergies, with vegans and one person with a food allergy. We paid a little extra for our set menu but the food came out as everyone wanted so that all of us were happy. Cynthia's always been good to me so give them a chance, I'm sure you'll agree.

Great food. Amazing service. The staff at Cynthia's treats every visit like a celebration. Whether they are singing happy birthday for you on the central PA, bringing out the gong for Peking duck, or greeting you in their beautifully ornate traditional clothing. This is a restaurant that never forgot why it was so loved from day one.Food: 5/5
