Good Taste Casserole Rice

The expansion of Good Taste Casserole House out of Markham and into Scarborough has made it easier for me to tuck into the comforting dish. And their expanding menu keeps the hunger growls at bay while the 20-minutes elapse. Their BBQ pork rice noodle roll $4.70 was a great 'appetizer' to share, soft and silky with large slices of pork- even though it wasn't the most evenly spread out across the roll. I'm perplexed how some restaurants continue to keep prices low with soaring input costs. Good Taste offers their preserved meat and chicken with rice for $11.99, which is only a dollar more than 5 years prior. They haven't skimped on ingredients - if anything there's more protein topping the rice - and it still comes with a side of boiled yu-choy and a pot of soup where the hunk of pork, fruit, and white fungus remains. The execution continues to satisfy: the rice a balanced moisture so that it's fluffy but still dry enough so a golden crunchy crust develops on the bottom. While I'm normally not a huge fan of the greasiness of preserved meat, it's the perfect topping in this dish and keeps the rice from getting soggy. In fact, it actually tasted better than the chicken, which was over marinated causing the texture to be too 'springy' or song in Cantonese for my taste.

Love this spot for authentic casserole rice! There's a sufficient amount of toppings and the crispy rice at the bottom is perfect. Also comes with a side dish of 'choy sum'/veggies and either a drink or soup. Service is average, and the prices are not too bad. Would come again!

Great spot for bou zai fan, Chinese clay pot rice served sizzling hot and with a side of soup. Everything is kept traditional here, and the casseroles are delicious. The ginseng soup is also very flavourful. I recommend anything with the traditional Chinese lap cheung sausage, but the ginger chicken was equally as delicious.

It was not an very impressive experience. After waited for my order for twelve something minutes, the rice in the middle of the claypot was still not fully cooked. It was still hard to eat. Only those rice on the outter side is soft enough to eat. The portion of the meat and rice was okay. The soup was good and not too greasy.

Good Taste Casserole is really good! This second location is clean, spacious and well-setup in the busy Bamburgh Plaza. It had no weekend lunch lineup when we visited. Their specialty is the casserole rice as you could've guessed. This HK style claypot rice bowl comes piping hot with your choice of toppings. I ordered a triumvirate of Chinese Sausages & BBQ Eel in the Claypot Rice. With a dash of soy sauce, this salty, savoury & sweet profile is one that I've enjoyed as a kid. Rice was perfectly cooked with crispy rice padding the bottom of the bowl. This also came with a generous plate of Chinese broccoli in Hoisin sauce, and a refreshing light chicken soup. This was a hearty meal with nutritious value. I can see why it's a classic dish for many on chilly days. My wife preferred to order noodles that are on the new items menu. It was her usual order of Beef Brisket Noodles. She seemed satisfied but compared to my meal, the noodle broth was light on flavour & rather bland. The rice noodles were ordinary, and could use the table condiments for extra salt & sauce. Better yet, just stick with the plethora of claypot rice options. I used to frequent Bamburgh Plaza and wish I still did, just to be able to dine here more regularly. For families, a bowl of claypot rice from Good Taste Casserole is a nice way to start the weekend.

Great value for clay pot rice, it also comes with a soup and veggies all for $12.99! It satisfied my craving but I wish there was more to it. The rice lacked flavour and I wanted more of that crispy crust which the rice didn’t really have. #1 preserved meats & eel rice : 3.5/5 #39 spare ribs & chicken feet rice: 3.5/5 Overall the value for what you get really gives them 4/5.

Love coming to this place because of the decent value and tasty clay pot rice. The most difficult part of every visit is trying to decide which combo of ingredients we want to try because of the vast amount of options!Food: 5/5

Tasty selection of classic rice and meat in clay pots. Dining room was brought and clean. Service isn't that great, but you're coming here for the reasonably priced food.

Great portion of claypot rice with variety of toppings. Love their rice roll selections as well. The price is very affordable.Food: 5/5

Really good. So good we ordered twice in one week. The rice casseroles are tasty. The rice casseroles are surprisingly very good. Despite being takeout, the restaurant manages to recreate the crunchy, crispy clay pot rice experience with their takeout containers. Something to keep in mind is that the rice casseroles are the same except for the "toppings", and that's how I would describe it. The ingredient choices sit only on the top surface layer of the rice casseroles. They are not mixed into the casserole. I recommend anything with BBQ Eel. Or anything else really. All the choices we've had have been tasty and delicious. This might be also why each of their rice casseroles came with a small container of boiled leafy Chinese greens, container of house soup, and soya drink. The Chinese greens are boiled with a little bit of oil and salt for flavouring. The house soup comes with a piece of apple, and a couple pieces of other Chinese ingredients. Also comes with extra soy sauce in mini containers. The greens, soup, and soya milk are alright. They're nice extras. The rice rolls are pretty good. I imagine they would be better fresh from the kitchen as opposed to takeout style. Beef Brisket Beef Stew on the receipt is tasty. Smooth, chewy yet soft. Like the rice casserole, the meat is only on the surface. It's mostly lettuce. Despite this, we ordered it again. The takeout packaging is very clever to prevent spillage, and to emulate the clay pot experience as much as possible. Even the soya milk is contained within their own special plastic bag to be stackable. Can't comment on the service because I've never tried it in person. Available on food apps. Would order directly from the restaurant but I suspect you'll have difficulties communicating unless you speak Chinese. In any case, I would recommend trying the rice casseroles and the beef brisket.
