Chung Moi Chinese Restaurant

A friend introduced us to this restaurant and now we are hooked. My favorite is the masala fried rice and shrimp. I’ve tried other things on the menu but the rice and shrimps are the best so I stick to that! Lots of spice and flavor.

after all the reviews here you dont need me to say how good this place is. been coming here since 2007 and although i skip out for periods of time, i always end up coming back here. everything i have here i loved, especially the chilli chicken with any combo of fried rice. if you are looking for THE best bang for your buck hakka, this is the place. both the gentleman and lady who runs this place are friendly and awesome to talk to. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!

Was really craving for Wonton Noodle soup closer to Midland & St. Clair and found this restaurant on Unilocal.
Read mostly good reviews about other foods however none about Wonton Noodle soup so decided to have a try.
Restaurant was clean, & staff are friendly.
The Wonton noodles though are not the thin type that I am used to but it is okay. The broth was good and so were the pork wontons. Would return again to try the other popular items on the menu.

We have been their loyal customers for more than 14 years. It cost us about 90 km back and forth trip, but it all worth it. Their main highlights are Dry Chilli Chiken, Chilli Fish, Hot and Sour Soup, Vegetable Chow Mein, Schezuwan Fried Rice, Vegetable Fried Rice, Shrimp Pakora and the list goes on and on. I can’t complain about anything. The food is just soooooooooooo yummy. You actually get confused what to order and what not. The owner husband and wife both are very humble. word of caution: Ask for low sodium/​be like I want less salt in everything. I have been their customer for 14 years and I am telling you this for a reason. Good luck you would not regret going there and spending your buck.

Heard a lot about this place, so decided to give it a try. Like many others who have reviewed the place, it’s not much to look at from the outside but once you walk in, it’s a whole different story. It looks like it’s been recently revamped and most of the diners there seemed like regular patrons. Service was good and the food was outstanding. I was only disappointed with the masala fried rice that I ordered based on the reviews here of that dish. I think Bao Shin in mississauga tops the list for the best masala fried rice in the GTA. Was very impressed with the dry chilli chicken and the yung chow fried rice. A must try if you’re in the area!

Desperate need for a Friday lunch so decided to get take-​out for a couple of co-​workers at this Hakka Chinese place.
The lunch specials were going for one meat plus rice for $ 6.99 each. Had this in the past and I get the same thing every time. The place is one of the favourites at our office. Gave the restaurant a ring and placed the order at around 11:50 AM. Everything was straightforward. She told me that it would be ready in 20 minutes.
Went to go pick it up and my order was there sitting ready to go. Yes! It was tightly packaged and really hot. Nice and neat. Excited, I asked for one set of chopsticks as I only like to eat Asian food with ‘em. Cashed out and was on my way back to work.
After distributing to my very happy co-​workers, I opened my styrofoam container… mmm… Manchurian Chicken (Dry) on Rice!
The food was good. It never really had blown me away or was so delicous but it was good enough to feed the hunger. It had a tiny bit of spice and okay flavour but it really was just fried chicken pieces on crappy rice. Ate more than half and was satisfied. I have had this dish with sauce in the past and it was a spicy, soupy nightmare. The food is not even close to my favourite Hakka restaurants but like I said, did the job, no fuss, no bust.

A little hole in the wall but amazing food. The spices are perfect.
Dry Chilli Chicken (without gravy) is where it’s at. My girlfriend and I usually complement that with their hot and sour soup (awesome) and Singapore style fried noodles. There is so much food that not once did we finish it all … score! as we can make another meal out of it. We have also tried the Masala fried rice and Garlic shrimp and you can’t go wrong with those either.
Pricing is very fair and if you happen to get in on their lunch special, they are equally as high on value.
Service is not the friendliest and the owner is a little brusque perhaps, but still it is always popular with consistent patronage so you know they come for the quality of the food.
A gem of a restaurant and one we’ll keep coming back to.

A bit dark and small for dine in but don’t let that bother you. Their food is amazing and give out huge portions, I mean huge portions for the money. Go there, you will not regret anything you buy from them.

chung moi? Not for this young boy.
THIS USED TO BE THE SPOT. But it went downhill over the years. Now you get overly cooked chewy chicken with little to no spice. I think people still come here because
1) they don’t know where else to get hakka food
2) they don“t know where else to get haka food
COME ON PEEPS! wake up and please stop wasting your $$$$
Check out Kimling or China cottage or ANYWHERE but here.
The worst is that recently a work collegue went here for lunch (despite my warnings) and found a cockroach in the food.
Nuff said!

Just like Good luck Chinese restaurant which is a few mins away but better by taste and even bigger portions. They have renovated the restaurant which makes it decent to bring friends, family and the person your dating. Okay maybe it is better to take her on the 10^th date.
The deep fried shrimp were bigger and tasted better than the ones at Good luck. I would recommend the following dishes:
1. Mandarin Chicken
2. Masala Fried Rice
3. Goat Curry
4. Chili Chicken
5. Deep fried shrimp
There used to be this depressing and rude waitress who just ruins the whole experience, but when I went on Saturday I was greeted by a much more friendlier and accommodating server. Therefore, I think this place deserves 5 stars

One of the best Hakka Chinese food in Toronto.
Not a great place for dine in though.
5 star for food
3 star for dine in experience.

Food is awful. Unauthentic and too much salt. The food I ordered was inedible from the amount of salt and msg that was in it. When I brought this to the very rude waitress that it is inedible and I wasnt paying for it because I barely ate it. She blamed it on me for not telling her right away. I’m sorry but no, I am not at fault for your food being disgusting. Not even an effort to try and compromise with me or compensate. The owner who sits at the cash is very rude. All the staff are difficult. Never returning and I hope this place shuts down. Made me so mad.

My family has been ordering from here for ages. Every time my birthday comes around Chung Moi is on our table. I especially love the American Chop Suey, reminds me of ABC Restaurant in Karachi.
It’s best for take out as the dining room is a little dingy and dark, though clean. I think my family has known the owner forever, so this place always has a spot in our heart. The portions are huge, the price is right and what more do you want?

The rating I have pointed out is primarily for the food. Not for a dining out experience.
Most people who eat from there seem to do take-​out. All the better since after you eat there, you will be super full so it is probably better to be at home.
The inside and décor does have that older look… kind of like going back into the 70’s or 80’s, which I think actually adds to the charm, but it does feel clean. Also, not a place you will likely take on a date if trying to impress.
The service, don’t expect Jack Astor’s type «Is everything ok?» It’s a Chinese restaurant. Since it is a bit slower traffic, it doesn’t have that hectic feel.
But for the food, I give it top notch standing. I usually get the wet chili chicken. I’ve tried one of their fish dishes and its good too. Usually, I have rice (or other substitute) at home.
There’s alot on the menu, so I haven’t tried many, but the few I’ve tried, I can conclude it is a place that knows about their food. I’ve also scanned menu pics (sorry, it was in my pocket so it is a bit scrunched).
Parking lot at the front is pretty small, it might be easier to park to the plaza just to the west of it.

I’ve been going here for years. The food is great and spicy. The Hakka Chinese Pakistani food really hits the spot. Many folks opt for takeout and this seems to account for a great part of the business. They really shouldmgive a discount if you bringnyour own containers for takeout. I highly recommend Chung Moi.

I’ve always loved Chung Moi. This is real Indian Chinese food of the best kind. (ok, ok, Karachi Chinese). Theresa, the tough, practical, and friendly restauranteuse has opted not to serve pork (I oink sadly about this omission) undoubtedly in deference to the Muslims among her clientele. Strangely though, booze is available. With many Bombay Muslims as my friends I sort of understand that. If I had the guts to question her about it all, I would ask. But I don’t. I do have the guts to order anything on the menu. Hakka chow mein is brill — lightly soy-​sauced stir fried noodles with your choice of shrimp, chicken, egg or all of the above. Dry chilli beef, chicken manchurian, shrimp schezwan, any of the special fried rice dishes, the soups — all outstanding. Be warned this is not Chinese food like you’d get at a Cantonese restaurant or Canadian Chinese restaurant (kill me please, before I review that). It’s Indian chinese — garlicky, peppery, fiery with chilli heat. Chung Moi is practical and unfussy — cafeteria style tableware, the cliched Chinese rubbish on the walls, plastic tablecloths and chopsticks, but who cares. It goes beautifully with a Heineken. Or three. It is greasy food, they do use MSG. And when you eat it, you suddenly understand the brilliance of the «Don’t ask, Don’t tell» policy. This is not a date restaurant. You’ll find more romance at the gas station two doors east. But for foodies, looking for an Indian Chinese fix, Chung Moi is your friendly Scarberian pusher.

We have been to Chung Moi a few times and I have to agree, the food is pretty good and the portions are really big. But the restaurant is in a sketchy area and the interiors are beyond deplorable, dark and dingy. The lady (owner methinks) is always in a bad mood and have heard her scream expletives at people on the phone — bad enough that we had to walk out with the kids.
What pushed us over the edge was last time we took some friends over for dinner and before we could pay our bill the wait staff started emptying our leftovers and trash onto the table (the table is covered in plastic). That was über revolting and we had to run out of the restaurant.

Good food, decent service but amazing prices. Overall, still highly recommended!

This place may be small and not look the greatest from the outside, but if you give it a chance it has some great food.
Be careful when ordering because there is a bit of a language barrier and we ended up not getting all of the right drinks.
The food is good and you get huge portions. There were 6 of us when I went and there was enough food for 10. It’s a great place to go with a big group because you can all share the plates. Some stuff if pretty spicy so take their warnings if you can’t handle that stuff.
I really liked how there were options of Chinese and Indian and other foods. Everyone can find something they will eat even if you aren’t so daring.
The Pakoras are amazing and pretty spicy.
