Thanks to my brother who doesn't eat home-cooked meals, I have become a regular at Trithis. Over multiple visits, to the point where the staff recognize my family and I, I've tried dishes from the dinner combo, a sizeable amount of the lunch special menu, and some other items like sizzling plates, spare ribs, etc.
Trithis is a solid Chinese food option for lunch and dinner. Prices are definitely reasonable for the quality and portion you receive, particularly with the noodle options during lunch. Lunch specials ($11-14) come with a drink and the plate is enough for a very hungry person, shareable (maybe 2 plates for 3 ppl) if you're just peckish. My lunch go to is the black pepper beef chow mein and the black bean fried rice noodle with a hot HK style milk tea. The shrimp e-fu noodle and curry pork rice noodle are also fantastic - a lot of the dishes have great "wok air", vetted by my Chinese mom.
The dinner combo ($40/3 dishes + incl daily soup) is cheaper than other comparable stores (even in the same plaza), has good portion, and offers good selection (a mix of vegetarian and protein options), and dishes I've tried so far are top notch - the black pepper beef, sweet/sour pork, and salt/pepper pork. Something I noticed is with the proteins, meat is always lean (which some will really enjoy), breading is never too heavy, and it's always fried to perfection.
That said, there are some misses - I've tried a rice-based lunch special and though it's only ~$1 less than the noodle options in the lunch special menu, the portion size is way off. I ordered a salt/pepper pork with rice one time and counted 5 pieces of meat with a small portion of rice. Definitely below par for this restaurant and I left somewhat hungry. As for dinner options, I didn't like the lemon chicken as they separated the sauce from the fried chicken and added some crispy rice wafer decorative things - there wasn't enough sauce so the dish was super dry.
Location is solid in East Credit halfway between Square One and Erin Mills and there's free parking in the plaza, though it's a bit harder to find a spot on weekends as there's a lot of traffic at the nearby Btrust supermarket. Sometimes there's a line on weekends but its never a long wait. To my knowledge they take cash only during lunch and cash/debit at dinner.
