广州西关食堂 - Otherwise known as West Gate Classic Canton Eatery was such a great meal for such a great price as well. The photos don't do it justice. There's plenty of parking in the plaza, the staff is very quick, polite, and friendly as well. We also overheard a table behind us who had trouble with their order and it was taken off their bill and were also given a complimentary dish as compensation for the issue which was quite surprising but also nice to see. The location is great for both small and big parties, although when we went it was packed so a larger group may have trouble getting seated quickly. Ideally, your group is 4 or fewer to get a quick spot.
⭐Braised Brisket, Tendon and Daikon / 萝卜牛腩 ($10.99)⭐
The brisket was so tender, and the tendon and daikon mixed with everything else went so well together. Everything was packed with flavor and came in a decently sized portion for such a price.
Let me just re-emphasize this, if you go here, you have to try it.

Double Egg Congee 皮蛋咸蛋粥 ($6.49)
As a lover of both salted eggs and century eggs, I love this kind of congee. Unlike a lot of other restaurants that put very little egg into their congee, this one had egg in every bite. I was pleasantly surprised and absolutely loved it.
Better yet, this was one of the better congees I've had around Toronto, and it was such a great price. The photo doesn't do it justice, but where else can you find good quality for such a low price?
