What alok likes about Swatow:
I have eaten at Swatow for as long as I can remember-and for good reason! Fast and fresh with the best beef with vegetable fried noodle in china town hands down. Lines ups out the door for lunch and dinner. Cash only (they have an atm inside). Best option when craving Swatow during peak hours is to call ahead and pick up. View all feedback.

What Ariel Iris doesn't like about Swatow:
This place was recommended as one of the best restaurants in Chinatown by several guides.The way must be very out of date because everything we ordered was bad or just blah.

Believe these reviews.. UNBELIEVABLE FOOD. Flavour, value, authenticity. True Chinese food teeming with freshness and succulence. The entire trip to Toronto was made by this restaurant. WAIT THE 15-30 MINUTES INSTEAD OF GOING NEXT DOOR OR ELSEWHERE. Promise it is so worth it.The balance of garlics and chiles and ginger and umami and everything in every dish was simply PERFECT. Best Chinese food in Canada swear to god.

The wontons were good but the noodles were not up to standard. They still seemed raw (I know wonton noodles should be al dente, but this was that on a different level).
