Toronto has continued to experience a renaissance in northern Chinese cuisine in recent years and HAPPY VALLEY VILLAGE is the latest to enter to local food scene. This third ever North American location, located in Scarborough, launched this Summer and just had its official opening last month. Other branches include Los Angeles and Vancouver and judging by how busy it was on a Friday night, the local food scene is embracing this.
What makes HAPPY VALLEY VILLAGE so unique is its paying homage to Northeastern Chinese cuisine, which is known for its Kang Stove Beds and warm, comforting Iron Pot Stews served with a sweet corn pancake. Protein options offered include goose, duck, chicken, beef, pork and fish, with a few levels of spiciness. Above this, their menu is boosted by some fantastic a la carte selections.
We had the most amazing night out here and the service was incredible, as was the food. We’ve never had this variation of Chinese cuisine and will definitely be back. Everything is so thoughtful to the traditional decor honouring the labour that goes into the fare, to the curation of the menu which ranges from appetizers to desserts (the sugar-coated dates, taro and sweet potato are a must)!
