Great Cantonese Restaurant

We visited last Saturday. The lobster disk was great. The price was reasonable. The service was excellent.

Excellent seafood

The truly authentic Cantonese cooking is a delight. The atmosphere is usually boisterous with a full house of patrons. Food is served quickly. A delight!

Consistently Great

The restaurant is usually very busy. Thus the service is not always the best - but the service is much better now than it was many years ago. I always expect "ok" service when I go there. But the reason I keep going back year after year (even though I live 2 hours away) is because of the food. It... more

Good lobster

I have been to this restaurant many time and each time I am never disappointed with the food. We normally go there early (before 6 pm) because if you go after 6:30, especially friday and saturday evening, the restaurant gets filled up. Restaurant hours are 4pm to 12 am. My four favorite dishes as this restaurant are lobster with onion... more

Good authentic Chinese restaurant

I believed that they have 3 chiefs inside the kitchen, the executive chief always make the dishes so delicious, but if he was too busy, some dishes will be cooked by other chiefs, and that's the reasons why some people were complainting about the food of this restaurant.

Always Good

Magic Wok is one of our favourite Chinese restaurants. The food is consistently good and you are treated to extras as well. There is a complimentary house soup as well as complimentary dessert - either a Chinese dessert or fruit. Reservations are recommended especially on weekends. We always have an early dinner to avoid disappointment in not getting a table.... more

I come here on special occasions with family. We usually come in big groups as that is kind of the Chinese way as I am half Chinese. We order tons of food and its always of high quality. I'm a big purveyor of the cheaper delights of Chinese cuisine but this restaurant always hits the spot in terms of quality for me. The prices are a bit high and its usually filled with only chinese customers,... more

The last time we came here, we came with a large group of friends.  We were glad they were able to accommodate us without making reservations in advance.  I've been here a few times before, since they've been around since forever, and the food is good.  It's a really authentic Chinese restaurant and they have lots of different types of seafood (my fave).  Some stuff aren't on the menu, but they... more

Filth and Terrible Service

Filth and Poor Service...
My family and I often order take out Chinese food. We thought we would try Magic Wok. Upon my arrival, I went directly to the Cashiers Desk to pick up our food. The experience is as follows...
-nothing was ready on time
-I have never seen servers where white shirts that were so filthy. They appeared... more

Just came here for a party. I haven't been here for a while.Started with deep fried oyster. But it didn't come with any sauce and was a bit bleh.  Too much berating too.  Next came seafood birds nest. It was quite good. The nest was not too oily and the broccoli was very smooth to taste. The scallops were good too. Will order it next time. The next thing we got was improperly served bean curd... more

We were in the mood for Chinese food on Saturday night, and figured we might as well trek out to Markham. Markham is chalk full of great Chinese restaurants, and parking is so much easier up there than it is in China Town.Magic Wok is your typical Markham Chinese restaurant. Large round tables, white table cloths that get dirty easily and large plate sizes. Elena and I ordered way too much... more

Really bad service for people who can not speak Chinese

Hi there,
We went there two times. The first time was about 9 pm and almost many tables are free. They did not give us dessert and said still cooking. But they give to all other tables and just let us wait for 20 minitues. We wated too coz not because we wanted to eat, we jsut wanted to see... more

Not entirely sure how such a busy restaurant can punch out dishes so fast. Good authentic Chinese restaurant that I would come back to.A good dish is the mango chicken in bird's nest (don't worry my bird loving friends, it's not a real bird's nest).

the essence of cantonese stir-fry is to have a high heat wok, enough amount of oil, quick stir till food's cooked, served steaming hot.  we call it "wok hei" in cantonese.yeap, this place has very good food.  naturally, the line is very long too.  and it seems like it's a toronto-chinese culture to make reservations for everyday dinner.  that said, no "reservation" would guarantee seating at... more

This is one of the best Cantonese food places in Toronto.  It is consistent in quality and taste.  It has been this way for the last twenty years.  There are so many good dishes and I am not sure where to start?The Bird's nest is excellent.  Also they have a Smokey chicken that is also delicious.  They also have great steamed oysters.  One of the key things about this place is they have... more

Magic Wok has been around for years.. I mean 25 years + or more.They have 2 locations, one in Chinatown Spadina and Dundas and one uptown (used to be in Scarborough and they built their own restaurant up at Kennedy and 14th)The Magic Wok uptown is famous for 2 things: their nasty waitstaffs and their good Cantonese food!Some of waitstaffs that worked 25+ years ago still working there!! I guess... more

I love eating in the greater Toronto area. This place is one of one many chinese restaurant I had the opportunity to try. It is simply delicious. As you can expect in a lot of chinese establishments, the service was pretty good but the food is simply heavenly. They serve a lot of different specialty food that makes them very unique in their own sense. Try it out and try to get a little chinese... more
