Jim Chai Kee Wonton Noodle - Scarborough

Place is quite busy, so you most likely will need to wait for a seat. Highly recommend to get anything with their shrimp dumplings in it. Plump and juicy shrimps stuffed in fatty pork meat, wrap in thin and tender skin. The broth is full of umami with a hint of aromatic green onions. The noodles/vermicelli are not necessary unless you're hungry & in a need of carbs :D

Staff are very quick and efficient, you'll get your meals in a few mins upon ordering.

NOTE: Be aware of the chili oil, it's very spicy and the burning hot broth intensifies the spiciness. But you ought to put a couple of drops to add flavor.

Highly doubt anyone in Canada's Markham/Richmond Hill area really need a review written by someone in New Jersey, USA about this place, but as a Cantonese living on the East Coast of the USA, coming up to Toronto is basically a cultural pilgrimage.

Far exceeding pretty much anything you can find in NYC (and certainly, NJ), Jim Chai Kee in Scarborough was really the only Wonton experience I had outside of Hong Kong that I feel like even comes close. I'm not sure I'd even rate the Wonton experiences in Hong Kong higher than here for any particular reason. It really is that good. If noodles in hot soup with dumplings is a format you enjoy, it doesn't get more Cantonese and more delicious than this. Great seating that is reminiscent of Hong Kong, springy noodles and crispy shrimp, and the iconic broth made with dried flounder.

Most top notch huuuuge wontons for a modest price in a heartwarming broth, bringing me back to my childhood. 😍

Seeing me digging in in the picture shows my appreciation for the wonton noodles 🤤

now THATS a delicious WONTON. No frills. Classic food. Shrimp wonton is my fave

Great tasting as usual. Fast service. Their oval fish "cakes" have changed to block sizes. Love their thin flat rice noodles.

Not keen on the new enviro-friendly packaging though.

Best XO sauce I've tasted!! Always make sure I don't run out of this at home!!

A decent and comfortable bowl of wonton noodles. They get everything right, and i like their noodle the most among the top stores here: firm, springy with just the right amount of the noodle aroma. It would be better if they place the toppings in the bowl of soup when serving the lo mein so that the noodles wont end up being soaked in the soup. Price is reasonable.

This is the first time we came to this location. Not sure if this is the location or only today, the wontons and fish balls are not as good as those at Richmond Hill location. The wonton skin is thicker than usual, and the shrimps are not as good as before. Beef and noodle are still good. Hot chili sauce is excellent, super spicy!
