Queen Star Restaurant

What is Queen Star Restaurant? Occupying 1116 Queen Street West near Dovercourt Road, Queen Star Restaurant is a longstanding, unpretentious Chinese-Canadian diner that has served the Little Portugal strip for over three decades. Steered by owners Su Ping Wu and Bei Hua Tang (Tony) since 2000, the narrow space features a time-capsule interior of vintage teal booths, diner tables, and an open kitchen where woks and flat-top grills clatter away simultaneously. Seating is casual and indoor-only, catering to a faithful mix of local regulars, morning workers, and late-day takeout seekers.

Queen Star Restaurant Menu & What to Order Queen Star’s expansive menu bridges retro Canadian breakfast standards and nostalgic Cantonese-Canadian comfort food. Mornings call for the classic three-egg plate with thick-cut peameal bacon, crisp home fries, and buttered toast, alongside fluffy Western omelettes. For lunch or dinner, order the sweet-and-sour chicken balls, house special fried rice packed with pork and shrimp, or a heaping plate of Cantonese chow mein. Wash it down with classic diner drip coffee or a chilled can of pop.

Know Before You Go Queen Star operates strictly on a walk-in, first-come-first-served basis alongside active takeout and delivery counters.

The restaurant stays open daily from morning through late evening, closing on Wednesdays.
