The decor is spartan, but who cares? This is Chinatown...its not a place renowned for themed restaurants with license plates on the wall. If you want that go to a Hard Rock. What Swatow does, and does well, is provide high quality Chinese food at an unbelievably low price. All stock Chinese meals are here, and I've not had a bad one from Swatow. For two people I would reccommend ordering a selection of three dishes (which will cost around C$24), but be prepared to eat the same meal the next day, beacuse I doubt you would be able to polish it off in one sitting.
It can get busy in the evening and is not a big place, so be prepared to wait. Leave a Comment Theme: Chinese/Dim SumPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Slightly north of Dundas on Spadina.

Swatow has been in Chinatown for over 50 years. It's a small hole in the wall which probably seats about 50 people.
This restaurant serves quick meals, congee, rice, noodles, and snacks. A very popular place for people to eat after a long night of clubbing. This place only accepts cash though.
Chinatown is one of the few places where restaurants are open til 5 am most nights.
So don't be surprised when you find yourself in a lineup for food at 3 am
Ying Yang Friend rice - one side has a shrimp and cream side and the other side is chicken in a tomato sauce. It's a large dish and awesome to share.
Beef Brisket on noodles - soft chunks of beef in a thick gravy over noodles. Very satisfying.
Chai Cheung Mein - A must! It's a dish of noodles topped with a spicy red sauce with pork and bamboo shoots and wood ear. Awesome stuff, but remember to check your teeth afterwards.

 2 balls + ? by johngayton
Simple is quite often good, and for the money this is well worth a visit, which explains its popularity.
As with everywhere in Toronto the service is really friendly, relaxed, despite how busy the place was. Formica tables, stainless-steel tea pots, china cups.......cafe rather than restaurant.
4 balls soup was a bit of a disappointment, great broth but heavy balls (only 2 types) Shrimp with egg and rice was also a bit of a non-event, but then for a $5 Canadian average main course we aren't expecting haute Chinese.
