The best late night Chinese food in Toronto has never been, and will probably never be, about the frills. At 3 am on a Saturday morning, it's not exquisite ambience or knowledgeable servers that matter, but rather how quickly you can stuff steaming hot piles of Chinese food into your collective gullets. True to form, most of the restaurants on this list have little, if not zero, ambience, but what they do offer in abundance are heaps of crispy chicken, spring rolls, ginger beef and even the odd dim sum. Delicious, delicious late night dim sum. Put simply, these popular places ensure that you'll never be found wanting when it comes to late night gluttony in this humble city of ours.
With loads of carbs, starch, sodium, and sometimes spice, it's easy to understand why the average midnight zombie-lookalike would be drawn to these premises despite the obvious lack of anything resembling nutrition. Just enjoy and remember to keep your grease intake at a reasonable level. Or was that supposed to be your drink intake? It's all gone a bit hazy, to be honest.
So with a hearty war cry of "Forget the smile, just give me my fried noodles!" I present to you the best late night Chinese food in Toronto.
