★★★★★  Love their shanghai shrimp and veg manchurian noodles (the red ones). I do avoid eating meat at this place since there has been so much controversy. The owner actually asked me if that is the reason why we stopped visiting the restaurant (as we used to be regular customers). She did assure us that everything is halal.

★★★★  The food is a bit better than the average. It's not bland like Fredericks at Markham and Ellesmere. Good portions. They have the same dishes at most chinese restaurants, BUT here, the dishes are $2.00 more on average.

  NOT LIKE BEFORE. Chilli Chicken was too salty. Family run business. Lady there alwasy tries to cut corner and save a dime. Its was way too dark I asked her to turn lights on she said "o no we don't turn lights on..we usually have spotlights but is not working today". Chilli Chicken comes with rice I know from past she told us if people don't ask for steam rice i do not give them. When I complain about too much soya sause in chicken she kept saying no no thats they way its been made...as if I have never had chilli chicken before. I had to tell her take this back and give me another one...she bought another chicken chilli but my mother noticed SHE JUST WASH THE CHICKEN THAT HAD TOO MUCH SOYA SAUSE AND SERVED IT AGAIN. DISGUSTING WILL NEVER GO BACK.

★★★  Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Pretty inconsistent from my experience. It would be great if someone can clear up the zabihah halal meat question next time they visit. Not serving alhocol is a Thumbs Up.

★★★★★  Just tried it today, took 2 single person combos as take out. I took one from their Indian and one from their Chinese menu. Both taste fantastic. Even better than Chun Moi in some regards.

I checked the meat myself, there is no trace of blood. It is cut in the halal manner (no effects of strangulation visible). Furthermore, this establishment refuses to serve alcohol (another indicator).

I would recommend the combo with the chicken with almonds with hot & sour. It is completely up to standards.

★★★★★  Hmmm, I go there cause I thought it was halaal. But I'll check next time as the previous person recommended.
They have the best chinese food, but they're a bit pricey.

  The meat (chicken & beef) is not Halaal. This is confirmed by myself and another sister. I requested the lady at the cashier (the chinese looking one thats always there) to tell me where she gets the meat from. She replied, "Sargent Farms", and she was nice enough to give me their number too. I asked, "is this your only meat supplier?". She replied "Yes, we only get our meat from them". So I called Sargent Farms @ (416)798-0684 and spoke to Steve (Sales & Accounts Manager). His reply, "We use to supply to Chopsticks Szechuan last year, and since then we have NOT been their meat supplier." I said, "But they are claiming they are getting their meat from Sargent Farms". Steve from Sargent Farms said, "I've confirmed on our end that we are not their supplier, they are getting the meat from someone else".
So, our conclusion to this: If the owners are not muslim, then why would they give a damn to supply halal meat? and surely, they do not give a damn as we have confirmed that their meat is not halaal. I'm not telling anyone to believe me, which is why I REQUEST you to Call Chopsticks and follow the same procedure I did, and you will get the answer yourself.

★★★★★  They have lovely chicken lollipop and chicken pakora, the best I've ever tasted in my life. They also have amazing sizzlers.. try chicken or prawn sizzlers. Delicious chilly chicken and chicken fried rice. Portions are good too, enough for two people. Small place, low lighting, apparently visited by a lot of TV/Movie stars. We met one too. When I went in December 2006, I wasnt sure if I will go again, but needless to say they have improved the standard and quality of their food and the owner is very friendly. MUST TRY !!!!!

★★★★  I'm literally in love with this place. The food here is simply amazing. I've forsaken all the other chinese restaurants for this one. This place comes closest to offering the desi style chinese food with the right amount of spices n all.

  they do not sell halal meat. When asked to produce receipts for halal meat purchases, they were unable to. On 2 occasions, i've seen a non-halal truck pulling out of the driveway. When I asked the storekeeper, she said, we sell both types of meat. Which means, cross contamination occurs all the time. Please avoid.

★★★★  Excellent food... small portions though. The crispy beef and chicken is worth the trip. They do not serve alcohol... and the owner helps you decide what to order from the menu... describing the dishes and all. It came to about $20/person... I believe they increased their prices this year.

★★★★★  Excellent food. Just curious about the cross that hangs over the exit door. Apart from that, was the best chinese food I have had in Toronto. Especially the Manchurian Chow Mein and the Sweet and Spicy Chicken. Next time before going, I will call and ask them about the cross.

★★★★★  its still there and still GREAT!

★★★★★  Assalamualaikum,
The owner of this restaurant resides in my neighbourhood, and having spoken to her I can verify that her meat is HALAL. T&R Sargent Farms LTD is the only place she gets her poultry (hand slaughtered) and she gets her beef from spicetown in scarborough. Although the vigilant pursuit of halal food is admirable one should be careful as to not slander an owner with accusations based on assumptions. This lady refuses to sell alcohol in her restaurant as a respect to her Muslim customers - the allegations made in this post is no way to reciprocate her good will.......eating halal food is one thing eating the flesh of your brethren (backbiting) is quite another!

★★★★★  great place!food is halaal according to servers

★★★★★  Hello everyone,
I have verified about their halal food status and asked the owner for the invoice. She has shown me her weekly invoices, they do change the supplier for the halal meat frequently but they do very much serve and have served halal food from the very first day. I have been going there with my family for a couple of years too but for all your satisfaction, i have the number of the supplier from whom they get the meat. Anyone that has doubts could call: T&R Sargent Farms LTD. (416)798-0684.

United States
  Brithers and Sisters sorry to disappoint you. This place does not sell halal. They just tell thier clients that the food is halal. When I challanged them and asked them to provide Invoices to confirm that the Halal Status they refused.

★★★★★  "Hi, this restaurant is an excellent place. The service is good, and the food is amazing. I was under the influence that it was halal..yet lately I have been told that it may be haram. Can someone find out the truth, because I've gone there quite a few times. Thanx!"

★★★  Assalamo Alaikum. I have doubts about the meat served at this place. I called'em up and asked for their Halal meat distributor. They gave me some cell # where no one ever picks up. Please do contact'em and try to get in-touch with their Halal meat guy.

United States
★★★★  Great Chinese Szechuan food and great friendly service! Lunch specials are $3.99 and are delicious - right at the corner of Midland and Ellesmere! Enjoy!
