Jacobs & Co.

Does h60 dry age their steaks?. I don't see such information on their site. It's odd seeing a "premier" steakhouse not indicating that.

You can also call sausage king and order it, their PEI grassfed is fantastic.

Shogun Ramen - Of all places, Richmond Hill??!!!!!

Apparently it's supposed to be decent and probably the best for an uptown optionn but not quite the quality of sansotei.
The broth is cooked for 48 hrs .
There's an article on post city.

Best Hot And Sour Soup 2013

In general or is it specific to Thai hot and sour soup? as other cuisines have their own versions....

'Golden Shanghai', 7750 Kennedy Road, Markham - Tasty Shanghainese food worthy of a visit

i still have to try that outfit out, Charles.

The "New Northern dumplings" in scarborough on silver star blvd. is pretty good for dumplings and other dishes. The last few times i've gone they made (rolled the skin/filled the dumpling) the dumplings only when the order has been received which is a plus in my books vs establishments such as dumpling king who make dumplings throughout the day and put it in the steamer when its ordered.

'Golden Shanghai', 7750 Kennedy Road, Markham - Tasty Shanghainese food worthy of a visit

my experience was quite the opposite ...i had the XLB 3 weeks ago and it was utter disappointment... virtually no soup inside and the skin was too thick for my liking....

Wings and Wings

Tried this place and it was good
Big crispy wings, sauced well and not a soaky starchy mess.
got more wings than purchased, not sure if that was only done as they were newly opened at the time and they wanted a happy returning patron.

Looking for good, cheap Chinese restaurant in Chinatown...

i think the op was looking for a place that would serve a decent "typical 8 or 9 course meal that they serve in Chinese weddings?" therefore, i do not think that swatow will fit that bill.
Maybe Dim sum king on dundas? i'm not sure how their dinner quality is though.

Memphis Fire Barbeque Company - Stoneycreek

I was there as well .... but when i got there they had run out of ribs.
Outside - ppl had takeout containers due to the fact that they have not opened it up yet....they advised that the weather has been inconsistent so they have not opened it up but patrons were free to dine out there via takeout (But they had not planned for staff to be out there)
- pulled pork and brisket were good albeit the sauce took away from the smokiness abit
- smoked wings were a 2 thumbs down.. i've had much better at memphis bbq in vaughan and camp31 in paris
- and agreed with TorontoJo ... mac n cheese was a roux with a sprinkle of cheese on top... felt like an unfinished product to me.
- the homemade pies were outstanding btw.
--- i would go back to try the ribs and indulge in pies (if in the area)
