The 27 Best Restaurants in Toronto

"White plastic tablecloths, neon window signs, and a no-fuss atmosphere? A Kensington Market hole-in-the-wall like Rol San doesn’t merely stay in business for thirty years without being excellent. The reliability of all-day dim sum and late night hours on weekends make this a go-to for those in search of Chinese classics. It's not fancy, but it's real. The crispy beef in ginger honey sauce, the General Tso's chicken, the piles on piles of perfectly dense rice, the house made hot chili sauce—it's a symphony of flavors, all prepared to perfection. The staff here are maestros of keeping the dining room moving. Plates come flying out of the kitchen with speed and precision. Torontonians have high standards when it comes to Chinese food, and Rol San's 30 years in business are testament that they not only meet, but set those standards." - Todd Plummer

Rol San is a typical Chinese restaurant, serving Cantonese style cuisine, dim sum dishes, noodle dishes, fried noodles, etc. The decor is clean and modern. Service is excellent and the dim sum dishes we ordered came out fast and piping hot. Perhaps the benefit of sitting on the 3rd floor, where the kitchen is located. We did wait 20 minutes for a table and did not know they had a 3rd floor. The food was very good, perhaps a little on the salty side, but that is nothing unusual for Chinese cuisine. We ordered their char sui bao, which was really tasty. We ordered a baked version and that was also very good. We also had the beef tripe, har gow, etc. The usual dim sum items and all were delicious.

Was seated at a two-top table originally, which sounds appropriate for two people but their tables are super small. The table is already almost a third occupied with the tea and the sauce tray, so unless you’re just ordering one or two dishes then you’re already pretty limited. Once we placed our order, they saw how many dishes we wanted and combined the table beside us closer to us to fit all the dishes - which is good. No complaints on the food - it’s what you’d expect from a place like this and Rol San has been around for a long time, so they know what they’re doing. The food came out pretty quick for the most part. This was except for the crispy half chicken, which came maybe 20 min or so after everything else was on our table and we were already eating for a bit. They include gratuity in their bill even though it’s only two of us and didn’t mention it - which they really should. That doesn’t translate well from a customer service standpoint. I noticed too late after I paid because I tipped as one usually would, and we had to ask a manager to refund the payment so that I could pay the original amount.

I came on a Sunday evening for two and was seated right away. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food is made to order and comes without delay hot and fresh. Dumpling orders come with four pieces. I would recommend the mushroom dumplings and the shrimp and chive dumplings. The portion for the Singapore noodles was very generous.

Went there for late night dumsum and everything was good, be it for or the service. We ordered a bunch of things- Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings), Seafood Dumplings, Deep Fried Pork Dumplings, Pan Fried Beef Short Ribs, Some noodles and more. Everything tasted good.

I really enjoyed their dim sum at Rol San Restaurant! It was very tasty and authentic! They do have other great dishes on the menu that you can try as well. The service was great. We were greeted by friendly staff and they seated us quickly. What makes this restaurant even better is that they're open until 3 a.m. It's perfect for those late night cravings or after a night out on the town! I definitely recommend Rol San!

Rol San consistently serves up delicious stacks of dim sum! The heaping plates of rice and noodle dishes is enough to share with a group of friends, perfect for a late night bite or a lunch party.

A great place to eat with friends. A good variety of dishes and hot tea upon arrival. I enjoyed the bbq pork buns, the soup dumplings, a turnip based dish, ribs and mango pudding. If you are new to dim sum, get one item each. I was unsure of the quantity and a lot was served. There isn’t any worry if you can’t finish your food, you are allowed to ask for take out containers. Overall a great experience!

The restaurant is clean and nice environment. A very good place to bring your family or friends. Food taste was fresh but very average. I’m unsure if they have parking.
