Ordered the BBQ duck hoping for $ 16 it would at least be decent having read good reviews. It was reheated in the oven clearly from somewhere else. It was greasy and disgusting. Very disappointed.

General Tao’s chicken. When it’s good it is very very good, but when it is bad it is horrid. I’m always so disappointed when I order it and I get a congealed mess of overbattered fried chicken in red sweet and sour sauce. I sadly cross the offending restaurant off my list and it’s on to the next, ever in search of good General Tao’s chicken. The Westwood delivers. I just inhaled an entire order of what appears to be one of their most popular dishes and for good reason. The chicken is perfectly cooked, not too batter-y, and there are lots of whole red chili peppers and caramelized bits of goodness in a small amount of dark red, slightly spicy sauce. It’s also got fresh green onions and green peppers. I’m so glad to have found my favourite dish, excellently prepared, so close to home. (My daughter says the mushroom fried rice is good too.)

These guys are ridiculous. I’m on a job site and didn’t want to leave my tools so I decided to do delivery. I ordered 2 dishes and a large soup. When it arrived it came with 2 chopsticks(good thing I’m Chinese) and nothing else for utensils. As good as I am with chopsticks… It’s just about impossible to drink soup with chopsticks. So I called back asking them to bring me a spoon and they refused!!! This is certainly not a cheap place. I can order other lunch menu specials for about 1⁄3 or more of the price less than what these guys charge. All I can say is that these guys left a really bad taste in my mouth and I will ABSOLUTELYNEVER order from this place again. Their service is terrible and don’t give a crap about their clients. Terrible… very overpriced.

Westwood Grill is my go-to chinese take-out spot. Food arrives fast and hot. Especially good: their dumplings and mu shu. I always judge a chinese food resto by their General Tao chicken, and Westwood’s doesn’t disappoint. Portions are big and there are always lots of leftovers. I haven’t tried any of their Thai-based stuff, but there’s a good selection of curries too.

I love this place and it is about the only reason I miss living in BWV. The food is extremely fresh and service is friendly and quick. General Tao’s is our favourite dish but I love the option of also getting dim sum items. The restaurant is impeccably clean and the food is nicely presented in very large portions, the lunch specials are massive. It is really our go to place before heading downtown for Chinese. Fine place!

I moved to Toronto in July 2014 and my boyfriend and I desperately searched for a good Chinese delivery spot because it is one of our favourite meals for lazy nights at home. We tried and bunch and this is now our favourite! the menu is enormous so I can only vouch for our regular go-tos, which include: hot and sour soup, general tsao chicken, sweet and sour chicken with pineapple, garlic baby Bok Choy, baby Chinese broccoli, pan fried egg noodle in soya sauce with veggies, and pepper salt tofu. YUM!!! Highly recommend.

I was happy to see this restaurant had a few solid veggie options so I ordered«Buddha Veggie» meal(forgot the exact title) and it was very good, the kids liked their food as well, the service was fast and courteous.

Good food but I agree with the other reviews. Ordered here a few times over the years and every time I ask how Chinese food like this could be that expensive. Small portions and overpriced.

My favorite Thai/Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. Food is always great and delivery is fast. Love the ginger chicken, spicy beef broccoli and anything with shrimp is cooked to perfection! Mmmmm tasty

There seems to be a lack of delivered foods in our area so I was keen to try Westwood Grill. I love their online ordering, especially the option where you can pick your order delivery time(i.e. I ordered at 3pm but wanted 6pm delivery). I paid online with my credit card which was handy but at the same time, a bit uncomfortable for me because I don’t like using my credit card online unless it’s a large company that I know. The food showed up at exactly 6pm as requested which was amazing. However, the driver asked for cash. I said I paid online with my credit card and he said«no, it says cash on your bill». Hmm. This caused me a bit more discomfort. Felt a bit fishy. Was this a scam to see if I would pay twice? He offered to call his manager to confirm. I offered him my house phone to call right there but he went back to his car and returned within a minute and said it was okay, that I did pay by credit card. Hopefully it was just an error. The food was excellent, even though, yes, I found it a bit pricey. We got the Chow Mein, a couple of meats and fried rice. Overall I would recommend.

My favourite Chinese takeout. Since moving to the neighbourhood in 2008, I’ve been ordering from Westwood Grill about once monthly. The menu is quite vast, haven’t tried everything yet but definitely have some favourites: BBQ duck Dim sum Spicy crispy beef tenderloin Cantonese chow mein The portion sizes are decent and meat dishes always have a lot of, well, meat in them :) The best part of ordering with Westwood? Online ordering on their website. Quick and painless.

ordered here a few times in 2014. The food itself is above average, the prices are way too high for the take out portion size. $ 70 taxes in for 5 dishes that amounted to 2 dishes full of food and some left over noodles? Come on now Westwood Grill — strike 3, your out

So my son often requests Chinese delivery. The sad thing is, there’s nothing Chinese about the food he wants. Doughy, tasteless chicken balls and the like… bla! Well we tried Westwood Grill tonight because some of the reviews said the fare was much better than the usual. Well, wow, it was so very good. Mu Shu pork was flavourful with crispy veggies and delightful pancake. The pork to veggie ratio was a little low, but it was so good I can’t really complain. My son’s alternative choice for chicken balls was a scrumptionus Chicken Soo Guy. It was delicious. Whole breast of chicken in a lighter than usual batter. The pre-requisite pink goo sweet and sour wasn’t too sweet. The veggie spring rolls were tasty and not too greasy. The chicken fried rice was a bit blah, but definitely better than we’re used to. Delivery was quick and friendly. We will be calling them again.

Pretty terrible experience here. Our order took an hour and a half to get to us. I reasoned that it was likely the kitchen was just backed up on a Friday night and when I called I was just told it would be there soon. When it did arrive, the driver mumbled something about the traffic and when we unpacked it it was soggy and ice cold. I can see how it would be tasty fresh, but for the prices they charge it was pretty disappointing.

I’m honestly shocked with the low rating. This is the best Chinese food in the city hands down !!!

Despite mixed reviews on Unilocal,we were very happy and impressed with our takeout experience from Westwood grill! The food was exceptionally good(compared with other Chinese takeout places we’ve had in the area). The delivery was timely and the service friendly. We had Chin Jew Shrimp, Manchurian Chicken, hot & sour soup, and bah choy gah(spinach and shrimp dumplings). Everything was very good. The Chin Jew Shrimp is AMAZING! Perfectly cooked with a tangy spicy/sweet savory sauce. We didn’t know what to expect but were blown away by this delicious dish! Please try it! The Dim Sum dumplings were the second best item, also perfectly steamed, plump and flavorful(great with hoison sauce dip) The Manchurian chicken was good, not exceptional flavorful, but well cooked with fresh vegetables. We asked for it spicy, but it was not so spicy which is probably better for some people!

For a former Annex-dweller, being merely a hop and a skip from Chinatown you tend to take it for granted, you can always go to Taste of China and dine quite well with quality. Moving to the Junction I remembered this isn’t the case in all neighbourhoods. At the Westwood Grill I realized that many restaurants outside the core are often the North American-Chinese food hybrids, with a few authentic menu items peppered with the ‘traps’ of orange chicken and the like. At the Westwood there are quite a few to avoid but you can manage to eat well at the same time. The Mu Shu bbq pork with peking style pancakes was a pretty good bet. The pork was deliciously fried(not very healthy I wager) and it was pretty dry, considering half the other meat items were coated and covered in sauce. The General Tao’s chicken on the other hand, was pretty standard. A bit boring. I’ll go again and probably get the exact same thing, but they also, they have a Dim Sum menu that looks pretty great, I didn’t try it this time but will give it a shot in the future. All in all, decent place, nice service but I’m not too sure about how often I’d go.

For a while, I thought that the reason Westwood Grill food tasted heavy and gross was because I kept ordering it when I was hungover. Turns out, even when I’m healthy, I just don’t like it. The meat seems poor quality, the sauces are heavy and unappetizing, often the vegetables are way overcooked — hell, they don’t even seem to do noodles well. Usually leftover Chinese food is one of my faves, but leftover Westwood Grill food just sits in my fridge being avoided, even when I’m in dire straits of hunger. It’s possible I need someone who knows the menu well to point out what to try and what to avoid, but everything I’ve picked on my own has been pretty unappealing. For the past few months, I’ve made an effort to eat anywhere but here, no matter how hungover I am. If you want some traditional Canadian-style kinda greasy Chinese(yeah, that’s my tradition, gotta be honest) and you live in Bloor West, I would definitely order from Moon Doo before here.

Killer lemon chicken(literally). Both my wife and I felt horrible after having dinner here. We have been regulars until now. Too bad, is the closest chinese resto to our place. Noodles and dim sum were ok, but stay away from fried dishes.

First to review? So, I’ll say right off the bat that Chinese food is not my go-to food. I pretty much never crave it. However, we’d passed by this place a bunch of times and we were intrigued. This past weekend, my boyfriend had a craving for Chinese food and we tried it out. We had some friends over and we ordered General Tso’s chicken, some orange chicken thing, vegetable fried rice and some dim sum. Though it took a while for it to get to us and it seemed like the delivery guy wanted a larger tip, the food was delicious. So delicious that I started to re-think my food preference hierarchy!
