  • This was without a doubt one of the best Chinese Food dinners I have ever had. The food was very hot but both crunchy and sweet to the taste. I have eaten at this restaurant before and come back time and time again to a consistently high quality meal, at reasonable prices with fast service at all hours. I would highly recommend EVERYONE to try Magnolia Chinese. AND no I don't know the owners or anyone who works there - this is a completely random review of a wonderful dining establishment.

  • Everything was really tasty, great portions, and fair prices. Service was always with a smile, and very helpful when trying to pick a beer...there are so many to choose from! overall a great night.

  • Order: Our table ordered a bunch of food to share. The natchos, deep fried pickles and the hummus bowl.

  • Great spot for a beer lover who is tired of the traditional big beer company swill.
    Merchant brews a number of their own beers plus the carry a number of Ontario Craft brews which I find to be very good.
    Typically a younger crowd, but the experiance was good.
    Will be back again.

  • Order: Just stopped in for a beer ended up having wings and stuff.

  • We waited over 45 minutes for our refreshments- we went up to the bar 3X trying to get them. Dinner took over an hour and a half to arrive- again we made repeated visits to the server requesting our dinner.

  • Order: Fish & Chips, draft & salad

  • This is the place to go in the city for beer. They make their own inn house you can actually see the brewing tanks and equipment. They make great beers and also have about 13 different microbrews on tap. The food was good as standard pub food, well made, good portions. The staff were very casual and very frindly. If you like unique beers this is a must visit in Ontario.

  • Order: House Beer, natchos, Cajun Catfish Sandwich, Club House Sandwhich
