Always good and tasty. A bit pricey for delivery but you get what you pay for. Great service when you eat in the restaurant. Great hot pots.
Satiates the hunger pangs. Went to Toi Shan after getting the oil changed at Mr. Lube - which is perfect as both businesses are neighbours and close by. It was close to 6 pm, and while not busy it was bustling.
I decided to order the dinner for one, fried rice, ginger beef, sweet and sour chicken, wonton soup, spring roll, and fortune cookies. Food service is incredibly fast, not long after I had sat down, my order was ready to go. This makes me wonder : did they use the leftovers from the buffet to fill the order ? Nevertheless, despite the 15+ min drive home, the food was still hot.
What I liked most was the food wasn't overly salty - perhaps slightly bland but I feel that is a good thing. The soup for the wontons (5 wontons) was tasty, the fried rice was good but could've used some more 'fillings' like shrimp, bbq pork, ... I enjoyed the ginger beef but it was more on the soggy side (this goes for the sweet and sour chicken), however the 15+ min drive home may have contributed greatly to the sogginess.
The spring roll is vegan, but the wrapping nice was and crispy - I should note that it had a deeper darker golden brown look, perhaps overcooked or dirty oil.
The food overall was decent, it filled the hunger pangs. Going in I expected this to be another 'run of the mill' western chinese food eatery, and to some extent it is, on the other hand the menu also stated it had peking duck, and not very many western chinese places I know of serve up peking duck.
Next time I'm at Mr. Lube getting the oil changed, I may pop by for either dinner or supper.
Toi Shan. Yes, this place could use a serious face lift and in its current state is more suited to take out, but the food is always fresh and tastes great. The portions are completely huge (really the "dinner combination" is enough to feed 2 people), so keep that in mind when you're ordering everything individually. The peking duck is amazing, its probably got enough calories to sustain you for the week but they're so worth it.
