This is the first time I’ve been here since they moved. I vibe is EXACTLY the same: dimly lit interior, servers with their own agendas, the local crowd hanging at the bar, lobster tanks, crispy noodles, odd dips, etc…. It’s just a tad larger and the decor fresher.
My family and I have been going here for over 30 years. I have never had a bad experience. The beat steak and seafood in Toronto
Best steak ever...long line get there early...especially on Saturday night
The staff are incredible. You are never low on anything, they refill your water when it’s half full and are never far if you need to ask for something.
My group always starts with barbecued ribs and sometimes egg rolls. I’m not a big rib fan, but they always get devoured. The egg rolls are standard, but important for me to have something while I wait (and watch everyone else eat the ribs). This time we also tried the Taste Sensation – butterflied shrimp, wrapped in bacon and deep-fried. If you are looking for something extra decadent, they are worth a try. I won’t even try to explain them because I’m sure you can guess how delicious they are.
For mains, we get a mix of everything – Chinese food with steak and lobster. For Chinese food we usually get chop suey and lemon chicken. Both are good, standard Chinese dishes. Sometimes we get beef and broccoli. I’ve never been disappointed. If we stopped there, it would be a good meal, but the star of the show comes next.
Expect to drop an arm (and perhaps half a leg), but it’s worth it.
Although it seems like a strange combo, House of Chan makes lobster, steak and Chinese food work. It's usually a special occasion restaurant, but sometimes we make an exception. The steaks and lobster are excellent. When you order lobster or steak, they bring you fresh vegetables or a salad and potatoes and fried onions. It's a lot of food. The Chinese food is pretty good too. We usually get soups, chop suey, lemon chicken, mostly basics. It's good to go with a group to be able to get a few different things!
