Not Real, but Real Good
May 19, 2014As a frequent business visitor to China, I can vouch that Cynthia's is like the Mandarin in its appearance shtick. The supposed authentic clothing is not even close to old Cantonese (which the food is). The place is however successful in fulfilling an unrealistic North American view of what an authentic Chinese restaurant would look like. I have eaten in... more

Can't wait to go back and dine-in
May 02, 2014We had a coupon and ordered take out. When we saw the interior we were so surprised. It's beautiful and the wait staff is wearing traditional Chinese dress. It would be great for a special occasion (The Chinese equivalent of Beni-Hana for its uniqueness )The food we had was excellent. The lemon chicken was delicious and the portions seemed fair... more

I would try them again if I didn't go to my regular place
April 14, 2014I have known of this restaurant for awhile, my favourite Chinese place has always been in Burlington but since we received coupons in the mail we decided to try it. We went on a Friday arriving near 6pm. All employees were attired in I guess traditional Chinese garb which was very charming and they were very attentive and friendly. The... more

Cynthia's
March 14, 2014The atmosphere is very high class, the waiters are dressed in Chinese outfits and they are very friendly. The food is the best in Oakville. The service for pickup or delivery is also great. Cynthia herself is at the restaurant a lot and she's really nice.

Excellent High End Chinese in Suburban Oakville
December 27, 2013Was pleasantly surprised. Went here for dinner, nothing special and no reservations. Seated immediately. Staff very attentive. Drink selection is excellent although the server was way too eager to get our drinks - the drink menu is extensive and she was back about 30 secs after seating us, then came back twice more before we were ready to order. And... more

Very disappointed in my recent visit to Cynthia's in oakville
December 25, 2013I've been to Cynthia's in the past and was looking forward to a family dinner on Christmas evening. The service was slow, and we were ignored most of the evening. After we finally received our food, no one checked on us. We had to ask for our bill three times. I realize it was Christmas, but they had a horrible... more

A hidden gem in North Oakville
August 07, 2013Cynthia's is a far stretch from an ordinary Chinese Food restaurant. The atmosphere is unexpected elegance for a strip mall and then the beautifully costumed servers are a bonus. My husband and I felt like we were fine dining yet we also felt very casual and comfortable. We were surprised at the attentiveness of the wait staff and the care... more

Interesting place to visit
July 24, 2013
This is a very original place, the decor and staff are quite intriguing, and the food is great! service is amazing, very friendly, and portions are large and delicious. A little pricey for a Chinese place, but we think it's well worth it.
Great for groups too as they have a massive hall.

Dynasties Inevitably Fall
July 12, 2013As residents of this town for over a dozen years and fans of Asian cuisine, we welcomed the appearance of this chain 4 or 5 years ago as an alternative to Red Chilli. Initially we were thrilled at the exuberant taste of Cynthia's treatment of traditional dishes - lemon chicken, spring rolls, almond chicken, and so on - and all... more

Good
May 27, 2013Never dined there only take out. The food is excellent, just you can't eat it the day after it's disgusting; will make you sick if reheated. Also they don't make the items the same. One night egg drop soup without mushrooms next night egg drop soup with mushrooms. So speak up if you have food allergies.

Excellent food in "Chinese Fine Dining" atmosphere
May 13, 2013This is not your typical Chinese food restaurant in a mall. The décor is very warm with high ceilings and comfortable spacing between tables. The food is served with by very attentive servers in traditional Chinese clothing. The food is not served but presented. Use of gold dishes, covered soup containers etc. The menu is quite varied with some specialty... more

Good vegetarian options and fine dining
May 06, 2013Traditional dress, excellent service. I highly recommend the Spicy Eggplant, Sauteed Snow Pea Sprouts, and Crispy Spicy Tofu. If you pay cash there is a discount and coupons for your next visit.

Try it - best Chinese food in west GTA
April 23, 2013Cynthia's hits the trifecta with food, service and ambience. The food is very good (spring rolls among the best I've had), the owner and staff are very pleasant and make you feel at home. They have done a great job with restaurant decor. Oakville residents (and beyond) use it for take out/delivery, but dining in is also first-class. There may... more

It was ok
April 19, 2013
Fine decor.
Exquisite garment to waitresess.
Food is good. Nothing terrific. I should try the different stuff, but didnt.
I am finding many of these chinese restautants taste the same. I think they all use the same industrial spices sauce.

Really unique dining experience
March 13, 2013
We've been to Cynthia's on half a dozen occasions in the last couple of years. We tend to go for special occasions, as this is such a unique place - it always feels like a special outing.
First, the food. The menu is broad, and offers options for all tastes. We usually go with a group and order a number...

Very Good Food
February 22, 2013Went for dinner with friends on a Saturday night. We had reservations. No issue with parking as the restaurant is located within a small shopping centre. The first impression was positive as the decor is more upscale than in typical Chinese restaurants. It was also interesting to see the entire wait staff dressed in traditional attire. The service was effective,... more

A wonderful experience
December 27, 2012We have a tradition of eating at a chinese restaurant on Christmas Eve and we spent this year at Cynthia's. The dining room was full and there was a great energy. The peking duck was excellent as was the lobster. Jackie is a very attentive server and makes sure that everyone is looked after. A memorable evening and excellent meal.

Very Expensive Place To Eat At
November 11, 2012Eat here with a friend on mine as I like chinese food. Food and service was good. However one is paying for the atmosphere plus wait staff dressed up in oriential themed outfits. I like value for money but this place is overpriced as you can get the same type of chinese food at other Oakville eateries for about 1/3... more

October 31, 2012
For a special night. A bit pricey. Great atomosphere. Waiters wear great costumes and decor is great. A definite place to enjoy a great meal, served at your table in fine fashion. One my husbands and my favorite places for a special dinner.

Superior decor and presentation
September 17, 2012After driving by many times we tried this upscale Chinese restaurant. In a nutshell the food was good but you are paying extra for the very nice decor, athmosphe and superior service. I wouldn't rule out a return visit but the food didn't blow me away, considering the prices.

Unique
May 30, 2012What a nice treat. From the door opening to being greeted by the hostess. we were seated at a nice table away from a large croud and could enjoy our time together without the party going on. The decor is superb. The staff is dressed in traditional Chinese garb. The service is very good and attentive, possibly over attentive, but... more
