Backyard Garden Restaurant - York

I absolutely adore Monkeybeans. My first visit was a few years ago, and ever since then, it has become my favorite spot for Szechuan cuisine. If you enjoy spicy Szechuan flavors, you must give this place a try!

This restaurant is a hidden gem that primarily serves Asian clientele and has yet to attract many non-Asian customers. The interior is tastefully decorated, and the menu features unique dishes like Peking duck, corn with pine nuts, and xiao long bao (soup-filled potstickers).

I chose to begin my dining experience at one of my favorite establishments, the Backyard Garden Restaurant, located at Metro Square. They also have two other locations, one at Midland Finch and the second one at Hwy7 Leslie.

The rest of the menu was just OK. Very oily, and very mainland cuisine. We went for the Dan Dan Mein and are sorry we ordered anything else. Probably won 't go back

Really authentic flavors, cheap prices, and decent portion size. Popular with locals. Service is fast and standard for Chinese restaurants.
