" Tianjin Auntie's has become my favorite spot! I can't get enough of their dumplings and Jianbing. The flavors are authentic, and every visit reminds me of home. I find the service is quick and efficient. It is a small restaurant, so don’t go in expecting a luxurious dining experience, but the food makes up for everything. I'll keep coming back until I try everything on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit, I had high expectations, and while the food was decent, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The Jianbing was served lukewarm and a tad too oily, which spoils it for me. The service was adequate but felt rushed. However, the prices are reasonable for the portion sizes, and it's worth experimenting with different dishes. I may return to give it another shot because they have potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for an authentic taste of Tianjin in Toronto, look no further! The Jianbing is out of this world! I recently visited and was pleasantly surprised by how closely it resembled the ones I had back home. The owner is lovely, albeit a bit rushed due to the high volume of orders. However, the food truly makes up for it. The dumplings are also highly recommended. I'll definitely be bringing friends here on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Can't stop raving about the Jianbing! Every visit this eatery has been such a treat. My favorite combination is the shrimp and egg; it’s simply heavenly. I find the staff friendly and eager to chat when things are slow. However, during busy times, they seem overwhelmed. But nonetheless, the food makes it worth every trip. I keep telling my friends they should come experience the flavors here! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Tianjin buns were pretty decent, although I did find them slightly oily. The service was friendly, but the language barrier made ordering a bit tricky—definitely a cash-only scenario, which I wasn’t prepared for. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my experience and wouldn't mind coming back to explore more of their menu in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has a special place in my heart! I stumbled across it while wandering through Chinatown, and it blew me away. Their food isn't just good; it's genuine. The Jianbing tasted like the craft from home. Make sure to order the buns—they’re divine! My only wish is for better seating options, but I come back for the flavors anyway! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a quaint little place! I had the Jianbing, and it was excellent, just as I recalled from my trip to Tianjin. The staff was friendly, although it seemed like they had their hands full. The dumplings came out bubbling hot and were a delightful surprise. It's a cash-only place, which is a bummer, but the food compensates for that hassle! I will definitely return again for my Tianjin fix. " (*Curated Review*)
