Go Go China

Scarborough has SO many different plazas that serve fast-​food style Chinese food. I was extremely happy to have been brought to another food court with 5 – 6 different stalls that sell Chinese/​Vietnamese food.
It is a bit overwhelming with so many signs and stalls that sell the same thing but my pro tip is to always look at what others are eating. This place has ample seating and the first thing I noticed was how many people were eating chicken rice. It was $ 5 for a box filled to the brim with rice, chicken, and choy + a choice of soup or soy milk. It isn’t the best I’ve ever had but I was able to split this into 2 meals. Cheap food that doesn’t break the bank.
Now, I probably wouldn’t order from them again due to the fact that I want to try the other stalls in the food court.

Two items for $ 10 flat. Big portions. Hot (temp wise) food. That’s about where the positives end.
Ordered:
Singapore style vermicelli — for those of you who aren’t familiar with this dish, it is usually quite yellow in color from the curry powder used to flavor the noodles. It’s also usually fairly dry. This wasn’t as dry as it should have been, and it wasn’t quite yellow either. It looked like a mix between house special vermicelli and Singapore style vermicelli. It wasn’t flavorful enough. It also didn’t have as much filling (bbq pork, shrimp, veggies) as I’d have liked.
Dry e-​fu noodles with mushrooms — I’m not giving the proper name of this dish. I’m emphasizing that it was supposed to be dry. It most certainly was not dry. By the time we had walked to our car in the parking lot, sauce had dripped everywhere in our takeout bag. We didn’t order anything with sauce, so we were quite confused. Upon coming home, we found out that the sauce had come out of our DRY noodles. It was ridiculous. The noodles were mushy, probably because they had not been cooked the way they were supposed to be cooked.
That’s the food. For a takeout place, it was ludicrous how long we waited for our two stir-​fried dishes. Stir-​fry doesn’t take very long, especially when you have a gas-​powered wok that literally spits fire. It took them 30 minutes to complete our order. HOW? Really? Not cool. Even if the food is cheap, I’d rather pay a tad more and choose another stand at this food court.

You know there are days when I have only $ 4 in my pocket and I am hungry…
What can I get for $ 4 that let me have a complete and balance meal? Carbs, fibres and Protein all in one?
Go Go China has $ 3.99 tax in special… with over 20 different items to choose from! What do I get for my $ 4???
Chicken with Rice and Veggie and a choice of daily soup or soy bean drink ($ 3.99)
— Chicken is tasty with mostly dark meat! A lot of flavours and really tender…
— Vegetables cooked well, not soggy has a nice bite
— Plenty of rice… you won’t be hungry!
— Daily Soup is pear soup, perfect for the hot weather
Where is Go Go China?
It is inside the food court of Chartwell!
But don’t take your date there, unless you want to make an impression of how thrifty (cheap) you are!
