Favourite things at Swatow Restaurant

Good food, cheap, anytime, all the time. The vibe is always amped, as just about all of Swatow's patrons are either heading out, or calling it a night. I recommend the lemon chicken, and the fried wontons (pictured). On Spadina, east side, north of Dundas, look for the lineup - they know where it's at.

General Tsao Chicken - look no further.

A friend told me I needed to try this and man was she right! Very generous portion of crispy breaded chicken covered in a great sauce with just enough spice. Order a plain white rice to go with it, perfect combo.

Great food, fast service, great friendly staff, fun scene. Forget all the others. The General Tso chicken would make any military leader proud. Not sure what is takes to get a chicken dish named after you but this one is worth overthrowing a government for.

As the clubs begin to close their doors, the lines grow at the doors of the Chinese restaurants along Spadina. But there's only place worthy of waiting: Swatow. The food is delicious that just hits the spot for that booze-filled stomach.
