General Tso's Kitchen on Yonge Street in Thornhill is a straightforward spot focused on delivering solid, familiar Chinese takeout and delivery with a Cantonese flair. It’s the kind of local joint where you come for convenient comfort food rather than a formal dining experience. There’s no dine-in seating here — the vibe is all about quick pickups and satisfying meals to go, perfect for families juggling busy schedules or anyone craving that nostalgic Canadian Chinese takeout taste.

The menu centers on classic crowd-pleasers and generous portions, including standout dishes like the tangy and slightly spicy Orange Chicken Gangnam Style and the mixed Tai Dop Woey plate, which offers a bit of everything from shrimp to BBQ pork. If you’re visiting with company, Combo #5 is a good choice, pairing General Tso’s chicken with egg roll and rice — a handy one-stop order that suits a quick dinner or lunch.

Locals appreciate the consistency here; the food arrives fresh, hot, and with familiar flavors intact. The egg rolls are noteworthy, especially for anyone chasing those crispy, savory bites reminiscent of childhood takeout memories in the area. Customers often mention the steady standard of dishes like wonton soup and lemon chicken, highlighting them as reliable standbys.

Service is efficient and friendly, emphasizing accuracy and practicality rather than flair. If you’re switching from a restaurant that’s gone through changes or looking for a new dependable takeout option without fuss, General Tso’s Kitchen fits that role well. Its location on Yonge makes it accessible for Thornhill residents and surrounding neighborhoods seeking a no-nonsense meal delivered or picked up swiftly.

Due to its takeout-only model, this place suits evening orders when you want to avoid cooking but still enjoy a hot, satisfying meal at home. It’s less of a destination spot and more a trusted local resource for casual dining on your own terms. Families, busy professionals, and longtime fans of Canadian-Chinese classics will find plenty to regularly order here.

I love authentic Cantonese food, but sometimes Nostalgia demands the Canadian Chinese Food specialties of my childhood. And Nobody does it any better than "The General". The Dinner for 2 is a tremendous value, huge portions of fried rice, light fresh chicken chop suey, meaty sweet & sour chicken balls, 8pc. deep fried crispy jar doo wings, and two perfect Toronto-style egg rolls. We always also have to order one of the gourmet specialties like HG ribs, Sesame Fried Shrimp, Mandarin Pork Chops, or their excellent Cantonese chow mein, all terrific. THE Best Canadianized Chinese food in North York, exactly what you expect it to be, and always arrives fresh and hot with lightning-fast delivery. Honestly, it's just great.

For a long time, I was looking for eggrolls that would be closest to my childhood memory. I read some of the reviews and one of them said they had really good eggrolls. I took a chance and went here for the first time. I finally found it!!!!!!!!! It is indeed the closest taste I remember as a kid. I will keep coming back for more!!!! And try other things along the way...

The portions and taste are really good. I do not understand some of the reviews of this establishment! This is not a 5 Star restaurant! It is a Chinese takeout. For what it is, it offers great value and the food tastes good as well. The qualify of the food and taste has been always consistent too. The pictures are Chicken with diced vegetables and almonds and dish of Cantonese Chow Mein.

Food was delicious, fresh and delivered hot. Excellent value and the lady who took our order was very helpful and made sure everything was correct. We were looking for a new Chinese take out as our usual went through ownership and name change and the quality went with it. I think we may have found our new take out in the General!

Quick and delicious food from this small take-out only restaurant. Love the wonton soup, egg rolls, honey garlic ribs and lemon chicken. Great service
