Where to eat in North York: Chinese, Korean, Middle Eastern and the grocery runs

A working guide to eating in North York, from the Chinese and Korean kitchens around the top of the city to Middle Eastern spots and the grocery shops that stock the rest. Each with its own number.

North York's food sits along the main roads rather than one walkable strip, so the good eating rewards knowing where to point the car. This is a run through the independent kitchens and food shops across the borough, each with its own phone number, so you can check the hours or put an order in before you drive over.

Chinese

North York has one of the deepest runs of Chinese kitchens in the city, from Cantonese and dim sum to northern and Sichuan cooking.
