Backyard Garden Restaurant

Nice little restaurant with a large assortment of spicy Chinese food. The restaurant can get quite busy at peak dinner hours but otherwise would be rather empty. Quite nice and well-prepared food and polite staff. Would be preferable if the restaurant had a larger assortment of non-spicy food.

Probably the earliest Sichuan restaurant in Toronto. Good place if you like hot foods. Price is ok. Food is better than it's branch at midland/finch. Now there are better choices for Sichuan food.

I often come here for dinner with my friends.

Food was ok but lacked quantity for the price. Also quite salty so we needed more rice.

Yummy food but the vegetables are not good😇🍜🤢🥗

Really spicy food special dish of Chinese Sachivan dishes. Very tasty. Sitting is not quite nice but it is acceptable, very busy place.

A no frills good value and balanced flavors of different Asian dishes.

Mainland Chinese Food. Food is fairly decent at a very affordable price too.

Not bad. The food were a bit greasy, and the taste was strong. Not a lot of msg taste compared to other places.

One of the most authentic Szechuan style restaurants and food around. Beware if you have never had numb style food because that’s all they’re about here. But growing up eating foods with numb it’s extremely yummy. If you like Szechuan foods this is a great choice!

So good! Friendly staff and delicious food. Will definitely go back. Had the crispy spicy chicken and the hot dumplings. They serve beer here too. Great atmosphere with plenty of tables. Would recommend this place if you are from out of town and want some good Chinese food. Next time I'm trying the crispy beef. Looked so good in the menu picture.

The food is pretty good ....price is good too....

Terrible service and unclean food. The meat wasn't fresh which gave my friend stomach issues! We pointed out the problem to the waiter. She argued and denied everything. We just paid for the bad food and left. This restaurant did not think about to investigate the problem with their material, but rather blame the customers. Do not recommend this restaurant as for the food cleanness concern.
