What a delightful little diner! Strong mom and pop vibe. I was skeptical about ordering but my friends had eaten here before and said the food is good. The adventure down to the bathroom was a bit on the creepy side but the food was wonderful and reaaonably priced. My stomach was upset so I ended up boxing up my breakfast, so I hope if the owners read this they know it's not because it wasn't good. I would eat here again.

This is what I got for $6.50: 4 eggs scrambled, home fries, 3 sausages, 4 pieces of toast your choice and a coffe/tea. Like, how do you even beat that. Sure, it wasn’t fancy or any quality food, but it’s not bad. Came back for a second time as well, got the same thing, didn’t let me down. If you’re looking for some cheap brunch, like cheap like no other places, this is your spot!

Fantastic spot and really captures the essence of the "Old School Queen West". You know, before it got all trendy? I came here when I first moved to the city in the fall of 2006(they were located down the street) and enjoy their breakfast special just as much today. A really great, mom-and-pop operation and an important part of the neighbourhood. The food is great and the owners are hard working, honest and fair. They have been serving our community for many years and I'm so happy they still are.

I appreciate a diner such as this still standing strong in a place like West Queen West. The food is familiar, filling and cheap which makes it satisfying on a soul level. The family that runs this place makes it feel very homey like you were dropping into a home of your Chinese immigrant friend and their mom was obliged to offer you food.

Very good family business run all day breakfast and Chinese food. The first time here, I am amazed how their food is good with AMAZING prices. Very good service and clean. The potato was so delicious, too roasted with onion. Yummy. So I ordered the special with bacon as my friend did I normally not big fan of bacon I gave it to friend but was well done cooked and nice test I had one. The table beside us ordered Chinese food, and it looks amazing 👏 😋. Please give them a good tip as their prices are too low to compensate for it. Thank you for your wonderful service and food.

Good classic diner breakfast for a good price! I'll be back to try the rest of the menu soon.

Classic, well made diner breakfast, classic prices, love the mom and pop vibe. In 2023 Toronto where everything is overpriced and overhyped, it is nice to be able to go out for a decent breakfast without breaking the bank.

Humble mom-and-pop joint surrounded by soulless fast food chains and franchises. The big portions and cheap price makes it a great place for take out. Call in to place your order so you don't have to wait too long. I recommend the vegetable lo mein.

Great location, delicious food, great prices. Family business. If you live in the area, definitely go support their business. They are working hard to maintain good quality for a great price. Try their breakfast menu!

Want great food, at a great place, served to you by genuinely kind people? This is the place. Don’t get confused - this isn’t your typical Queen Street fancy or glamorous “5 star restaurant, with a 5 star atmosphere.” It is in fact a no-nonsense local eatery, ran by a couple will openly admit that they haven’t renovated since they opened the place in 1999. They’re very humble, and they make excellent food for the price. I dunno what the guy who reviewed before me is on about, but the man and his wife who own this place work crazy hard to try and make a living, and are both great chefs for the prices they charge. I can’t think of many places in the city that offer a $9 combo dinner, a $5 wonton soup or a $10 big breakfast anymore, but those dishes and everything else on the menu is seriously GOOD for what you’re paying. My girlfriend and I come here often, and we’re always treated well. I’d understand leaving a bad review if you were paying $30 for eggs and bacon, but at these prices and with such kind people who clearly run this as a family business, if they’re even above average and good quality (as they are) then there’s no reason why anyone should be riled up about it. I always recommend this place to my friends, and I always will. Definitely worth the price of admission, and a hidden gem in the crazy expensive area that is Queen and Ossington. Don’t ignore it just cause it isn’t glammed up like its neighbours. This is the real thing, and the very definition of quality over quantity.

Absolutely fantastic place! The food is always delicious with amazing prices. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. The vibe is very retro diner style which I love. Anytime someone visits me in Toronto it’s a must go to place. Absolutely love it here

Unfortunately the food wasn’t great at all….the lady who works the front is very nice though. But when it came down to getting the food the chow mein noodles were very hard to the point where they tasted like they were barely cooked. Second time around it tasted better. The sweet and sour balls paste had an odd taste to it since it did not taste sweet or sour. This is the first time we have left the food without at least packing it. I really wanted to try liking the food but not good especially for $40. Hopefully improvements can be made since customer service wise the woman was really nice.

Amazing family run business! Great service and really delicious food. Definitely recommend. Thank you! 😃

Don’t let the exterior confuse you- this spot has AMAZING food, prices, and service. They have been open for 24 years and are a staple in the neighbourhood.

i really love coming here! the food is very reasonably priced and delicious. i usually get honey garlic chicken with french toast, and that combination is so good!!! the owners are so lovely and sweet as well. i'm trying to get all my friends to come here because i genuinely love this place so much. show them support!!!!!

Neighbourhood divey, diner. Huge portions at reasonable prices. The husband and wife do everything on their own and work really hard. Very casual place so whatever you imagine for service and atmosphere at a divey diner is what you will get but its great because no one bothers you :)

I'm usually not big on chinese food but this place actually blew my mind; loved everything we ordered for a quick and easy well priced dinner. The lady serving was super nice and sweet and the service itself was fast; I'll definitely go back to it.

Pretty good breakfast for $7.95; i like their egg rolls and salad

Queen Star is one of the neighbourhoods hidden gems. I'm there for breakfast every weekend I get a chance. Friendly, fast, confusingly inexpensive. I always leave full, happy, and caffeinated.

Really good healthy food. Don’t be afraid for the look. I took fried rice (not so fried and not fat at all) with vegetables and eggs. Like Nasi Goreng in Bali. Totally recommended.

Food is standard issue breakfast food, cooked well, fresh and solid portions. Come here for exceptional value for money...if you want a full brunch with avocado toast, etc this isn't the place for you. Old school basic food and the prices reflect that. Suggestion: because the prices are so low, don't tip based on percentage but instead leave a $$$ amount.

My first time trying this restaurant, ordered house fried rice without shrimp and beef with mushroom. The takeout was tasty, well balanced and happy with the food quality. Will order from here again.

Simple English breakfast, just what I wanted. You don't pay extra for fuss & decor. The mom & pop vibe is nice.

Been going here for over 15 years , nice family run business and very tasty food . My favorite is “Philly steak 🥩 “ sandwich .

Really great mom and pop diner - the owners clearly work hard to please their guests. They serve very solid traditional breakfast fare and the Cantonese dishes are authentic and flavourful. Everything is affordable and delicious. Also love the quaint and classic diner feel.

Cheap and cheerful, old-school vibe, mix of Chinese food and diner fair, I had a club sandwich my partner had Shanghai noodles, nice variety. All day breakfast. Friendly owners/staff

I use to eat from Queen Star Restaurant frequently, the good ole university days, when classes ran late and you wanted something to fill your belly and was convenient. However, with the recent price increase, I can not justify frozen chicken bits, bagged veggies and pre-mixed white rice in soy sauce. Saigon Flower Restaurant down the street is much better!

So far, this is the best place for a weekend brunch. Why spend so much money on fancy restaurants when it's so chill and comfortable here? The staff is incredibly nice and always smiling.

I really dont know how this place has such a high rating. Maybe it’s the burgers and eggs, but I’ve ordered a Chinese dish twice from this place and both times the food was meh. The first time the food arrived about an hour after my order, which is not unexpected. But tonight was my 2nd time ordering. i put in an order for a single meal, as i am a single person living alone. The lady on the phone told me i should order more food next time, it’s too little food. I reminded her that i am paying for delivery, this isnt free. So she shut up. She seemed to take offence to this because after taking my order and telling me the total, she immediately hung up on me in the middle of asking her a question of when to expect the food. I called back immediately and she didnt answer my call. I had to call 2 more times for her to pick up and tell me it would be an hour. Yeah that was a lie. The food came 2hrs late. Yes, 2 hours. I called at 522pm and the delivery man called my buzzer at 721pm. And the food was room temp, not even warm. So i called just now to speak to a manager, just so the manager is aware what is going on in their store. the lady pretended she doesn’t know when manager will be in and hung up on me. Twice. Also, she charged me $11.50 for my meal, which was Dinner for One No. 10. The menu uploaded by the owners on the FB page says it is $10.50. She even said $10.50 initially but then corrected herself and said $11.50. That menu on FB was uploaded in 2022, so it’s possibly prices have gone up. But then why havent the owners uploaded the new menu prices? Makes me wonder if she purposely upcharged me because i ordered “too little food”. It’s a shame that one of the few Chinese restaurants in Parkdale with delivery has such a high rating, yet this lady is ruining their star rating with this abysmal customer service and attitude that we should order more because it’s not worth her driver delivering such little food. Reader, you have been warned.
