Deer Garden Signatures Toronto

Very authentic fish broth mixian! A lot of options for noodles/rice, toppings, and type of broth too. Impressed at the high quality overall. Usually a short wait at lunch.

Going to Deer Garden in Richmond Hill was a routine for my family a number of years ago, so finding out there was one in Toronto was great. The food was just as good as I remembered it, service was quick, and our group left feeling very full and satisfied.Only thing I would say is since it's a small location, it can be a little cold if you're sitting near the door.

We got their combo, which you can make your own noodles with a drink. I like their almond milk the most. Overall it is good if you don't like heavily seasoned food. We got their fish soup and chicken soup, the fish soup has a very strong fish flavor, I like it more. I prefer their thin rice noodles because it is more infused with flavour.

A good noodles house right in downtown Bay St. HK & Taiwan style menu. Serving is a lot for one person. There’s an option to make your own noodle item with lots of options for meat, vegetarian & noodle type and soup to your liking. All in all, a good spot to have your casual noodle craving. There are also the usual rice toppings being offered and they have daily specials from Monday to Friday only. Hot HK style lemon tea is a bit bitter for my liking but the cold tastes delicious.

Why would they call the soup dandan" when it's a peanut sauce soup?? Not bad food per se

Used to come here all the time in 2021- early 2022, like at least once a week, and it was my favourite spot to eat at. Came back after the summer break to see that there has been new staff than the previous ones. Disappointed to see that their service has deteriorated tremendously since then; particularly the two older women. The price also increased significantly since last year, and it doesn't help that the service is much ruder now. During one visit, I asked one of the two women for some water, and as a regular customer, she knows I usually drink a lot of water. She proceeds to angrily place a full jug of water on the table while giving me a nasty look. One of the younger male waiters, towards the end of our meal, then whispers his apologies to my boyfriend and I. On the second visit, both women were the only ones on the clock, and we came close to the last call, but still a good 10 minutes before then, and the same older woman considered turning my friends and I (only 3 of us) away before finally giving a table. When giving our orders and giving us our drinks, her colleague (the other older woman) did so in a rude manner. When we paid during last call, I decided not to tip as I have had recurring experiences of both women being very rude during my visits and during this one as well, and was quite frustrated about it. One of them reacted by crumpling the receipt and throwing it on our table, and then slamming the bill tray on the cashier counter when she went back. Her colleague then confronted my boyfriend at the end of the meal and mentioned that the prices (which I will say, is very expensive now) doesn't include tip; to which he replied that their terrible attitude is why we did not tip – we usually tip during our visits, but not this time. I'm incredibly disappointed that my favourite restaurant has become this way, and I won't be coming back again after this incident. Great food but terrible service, hope this changes soon.

I’ve been going to Deer Garden for years in Richmond BC so I was happy when they opened up locations in Toronto. I’ve never had any issues in BC but this was my second time visiting the downtown location and it will be my last. I ordered a beef brisket and bean curd noodle and the beef was definitely not fresh - it was dry and tasteless. It didn’t taste off but I didn’t eat most of it because it wasn’t very good. Stuck to the bean curd and noodles. The broth was also not as flavorful as previous visits.When I went to pay, I asked why my bill was $27 for a meal that was supposed to be $17.99+tax. The bill showed I was charged for both toppings when the set includes the two toppings. The woman cashing me out had to check with my server who then said she had entered double toppings (even though I had just ordered one of each, indicating my choice with a check mark). The cashier removed it from my bill since I didn’t actually order double toppings but I could tell my server was not happy, even though she made the mistake.Later that night I started to feel unwell and ended up realizing I had food poisoning. What came out when I threw up? The beef. It’s been over 24h and I’m still recovering but I won’t be back because of the poor attitude from the servers (both visits) and the food poisoning.

It's a standard Deer Garden location. The sliced beef was good but the beef brisket was very thick and hard to chew. I wish there were smaller options as the portion is huge, equivalent to a large or XL bowl. Extra toppings are $3 which is great a bit for like two slices of spam...
