- WWarrenVIPToronto / Ontario •57 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoFood was top notch every dish. little interesting twist on what you've probably tried elsewhere. The backyard patio is delightful and definitely a plus ,i ndoors in the dark room that they have during the summer would not have been fun. Plus it was very noisy and tight. The patio is airy on a beautiful evening. As for the service, it was what I would call charmingly nonchalant. Sometimes it would be good. Sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes they forgot something. Sometimes they didn't. Not a big deal cuz we were having a good time. But if you were in a rush it would drive you a bit crazy. The last time I was at Sonny's Chinese was about 18 months ago and I recall it being so so. The food has improved immensely. Is the quality of the choices. The highlight was definitely the whole fish deboned crispy on the outside tender on the inside..More infoSunnys ChinesePrice: Very Expensive• Chinese• Chinatown / Kensington Market•4.8
