Mott 32 Toronto

My husband and I visit Mott 32 for my birthday on Saturday lunch. We tried their dim sum as well as some dishes from dinner menu. Because my husband is a foodie, so I am very blessed with a lot of opportunities to try good foods from all over the world. Usually I do not like fusion food, but Mott 32 is a good fusion /Chinese restaurant! All the dishes we ordered were very well made and did not disappoint us. But I have to say, the price is a little steep! We did not have any alcohol nor any fancy seafood. It cost us $400 something.

Came here for the first time to try out the Dim Sum with my parents. The quality of the food was very high, with a particularly great texture for many of the items such as the Cheung Fun which had a crispy texture and the Beef was very tender. The noodle dish was aromatic along with the squid tentacles. There was a high level of service and professionalism. The food was served in a quick manner, and there was a good level of attentiveness from the staff even when more customers starting coming in. Overall, I would say that this place is worth trying for a special occasion as the quality of the food and the service was high. The only thing holding me back from providing it 5 stars would be that even with the quality of the food and service it still feels a bit overpriced.

So badly wanted to love this new spot!! When you price your star dish at a premium, guests will come with high expectations. However, the Signature 42 day Apple Wood Roasted Peking Duck lacked flavour, slices were cut very thick, and wasn’t served hot nor crispy (shocking). I also felt at that price range, it should have been inclusive of the second course, which is often customary. We were sorely disappointed (and all big fans of Peking duck usually). All other dishes were good overall but the star of the show unfortunately fell flat, such a shame! I wouldn’t come back for the duck but I would for other dishes and just skip the duck entirely. Overall nice environment and service was friendly!

🍽️🥢The restaurant has a comfortable environment and elegant design. You will feel the noble atmosphere as soon as you enter. It is definitely a restaurant worth a try!✅ 🦆The Peking Duck, the skin is super crispy and melts in your mouth, and the Chinese pancake skin is chewy and soft! 🐖Barbecued pork (Cha Siu), made from Spanish black pork, the meat is soft and juicy, with even fat and lean meat, melts in your mouth, and the sauce is well seasoned! 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳🍚Fried rice, the rice grains are distinct, the filling is substantial, and not too greasy! 🥟Shanghainese Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao), thin skin, tender meat, and full of gravy!

The food here is very good. In addition to the Peking duck, I'd recommend the duck fried rice and free range chicken with cumin. The staff were very friendly and professional. Food came out a bit slow, with the Peking duck coming out almost last. They did gave us a free appetizer while we waited. Drinks were excellent. Comparing to other Mott32, this one had more of a hip vibe and didn't feel as Luxurious as the other locations. If this place was a hotel brand, I would say it felt more like a W Hotel than the Ritz-Carlton (or Shagra La in this case). It was dark and loud music and felt more like a lounge. Not really my vibe but I understand if they're aiming for the younger crowd.

Mott 32 in Toronto is nothing short of exceptional, bringing the elegance of modern Chinese cuisine with an emphasis on quality, authenticity, and innovation. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted with a blend of contemporary and traditional Asian decor, a luxurious atmosphere that sets the tone for the dining experience ahead. This is the 3rd Mott location I have been to and although all of them are amazing, the Toronto location service is beyond excellent. The menu is a standout, featuring an array of carefully curated dishes that showcase the best of Chinese culinary traditions with a modern twist. What truly elevated my dining experience at Mott 32 was the impeccable service. I want to give special recognition to three individuals who made the evening memorable. Kalani, Eric and Beck was an absolute delight, ensuring that our table was well looked after with attentiveness and care. They provided seamless service, guiding us through the drink pairings with expertise. In short, Mott 32 Toronto delivers on every front—culinary excellence, ambiance, and service. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to experience a high-end Chinese dining experience in the heart of the city. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere and upscale renovations of Mott 32 is unmatched and was the first thing I noticed when I walked in. This is definitely somewhere you take a client or partner to impress them. This is what you expect from a restaurant in the Shangri La Hotel. I also appreciated the attentive service from not only our waitress, but the hostess and other employees. I would say that the food fell a bit flat for me. We let the waitress take charge of our menu, so I expected to be served more unique and stand out dishes from their menu. Of course I did not expect her to slap on the $400 peking duck to our bill without consultation, so I appreciate the care in selecting some more reasonably priced options, but I did feel like the menu could have been curated with a few more star dishes. Some of the items I felt like I could have gotten for half the price at any local Chinese restaurant. I recognize that I didn't appreciate the wagyu in the green beans with wagyu, which obviously elevates the dish, but I didn't think it was necessarily a dish that needed to include such an expensive cut of meat. The dim sum selection that we got was a bit more unique but we were served a ha gao that was no different in taste to me than any other dim sum place I've been to. I did not see the end bill but I have a number in my head based on the menu prices. I would say we paid for the food but more so the amazing dining environment. I probably would not be back on my own dime, unfortunately.

Mediocre spot for an acclaimed Chinese Restaurant. The food and service was below average and unfortunately did not meet my expectations. We had some standout dishes, but overall most dishes had lack or flavor, texture and seasoning. My favorite dish of the night was the Noodles, Duck Salad & Sautéed Green Beans. When you order the carb, pecking duck, short-ribs.. that says a lot. Poor quality meats and seafood selection that I would skip on if you come here. Service was below average. Our server Peony was more concerned about trying to overhear our conversations than trying to make us have a good one. Our whole table was uncomfortable majority of the time. If you’re thinking of coming here, I would pass. There is many great spots in Toronto, and unfortunately this one is below average.
