Call A Chicken (jiào Le Zhǐ Jī）

Ever since the lifting and/or relaxation of government imposed Covid restrictions. I have had my fair share of ‘dine out’ Chinese food experiences. In general and understandably, certain quality has deteriorated due to staff attrition and movements caused by the pandemic. However, fortunate for discriminating foodie like myself, there are still quite a few rare and cherished exceptions that managed to hold on to their laurel and consistencies. O’Mei, The One Fusion and Starchiva to name a few. Tonight, taking advantage of visiting friends from abroad and hoping to add more worthy choices and candidates to the above distinguished captioned list, I decided to lead our party, trek all the way across town, to try out this long forgotten gem “ Casa Deluz “…..and Man!......was I glad we made this special trip?! Eight months into 2022 and IMHO, this was one of the most memorable, stand out and enjoyable Cantonese meal I have had this year! Our 7 courses dinner consisted of the following ‘ super generous portion ‘ dishes: Peking Duck 2 ways: 1 Crispy skin wrap with spongy, pillow like Bao a la David Chang?! 2 Lettuce wrap with stirred fry diced duck meat and mixed vegetables Pan seared Angus steak cubes sauteed with Maggi sauce roasted potato nuggets Sweet and sour Pork with Pineapple Fried Ling Cod filet with premium Top Soy glaze Wok fried giant lobster with salted duck egg yolk coating Braised winter melon stew with sun dried shrimps and scallops, fish maw, Shitake mushrooms in ‘ Shan tong ‘ broth Complimentary cold and hot desserts Wow! What an impressive array of utterly delectable offerings! Some of the dishes were so tasty and good, they actually managed to entice a few well deserved ‘ wows! ‘ from some of us! Though each individual dish all possesses its own stand out ‘yummy characteristics’. However, for me, the undisputed star of the evening was definitely the Pan seared Angus beef cubes with roasted potato nuggets! Perfectly caramelised and seared to medium rare, the taste and aroma were absolutely mesmerising and addictive! The potato nuggets were a perfect side kick, soaking up all the delicious sauce and juices! Without a doubt the best tasting beef dish I have had this year! Lobster was executed to near perfection as well. This version can easily rub shoulders with some other best rendition in town like those from O’Mei, Starchiva and Casa Victoria. Talk about finger licking good! The braised winter melon stew was an explosive umami bomb. Delicate, refreshing, sweet and flavourful. Fish was fried to super crunchy crispiness with the interior still moist and juicy! Each piece is coated with just the right amount of sauce/glaze.Testimony of the chef’s skill. By GTA standard, the Sweet and sour pork and the Peking Duck were also top notch. What an amazing and memorable meal!.........planning another visit next Tuesday already! This time, the difference will be, someone in our party will be treating us to another bottle of fine wine!! Yummmm! Cannot wait!

Been here a few times and love it! Their chicken burgers are AMAZING and their portions are pretty big (compared to KFC). We bought chicken from Call A Chicken and KFC to find the best deep fried chicken place in the woodside square food court and Call A Chicken was waaay better. They do have daily deals that are only available when you order in person, and they're far more worth it than ordering via ubereats.

Ordered a spicy popcorn chicken full of batter and chicken fats and very oily. The spiciness is good.

I want to give 0 star if I can. Terrible customer service and the staffs there are dishonest. I ordered chicken pieces at ubereat and I didn’t choose spicy. When I went there pickup the food, I found out that they made all chicken pieces spicy. So I asked for exchange and the cashier started give us million excuses to stop us exchange. She explained the store only have spicy chickens and later said all non spicy chickens are sold out and cannot exchange for us. After a while, she said Uber doesn’t have the option to let customers to choose non spicy chickens, and I should order from Fantuan if I am looking for non spicy chickens. After waiting 30 minutes long for the chickens, even though we are starving , we decided to cancel the order because we can’t eat spicy food. The most upsetting thing is when we left the store, I heard the cashier yelled to the kitchen to make 1/2 spicy and 1/2 non spicy chickens for the next customer. She told us non spicy chickens are sold out but meanwhile she asked kitchen to make non spicy chickens for another customer who just called in. She is so dishonest and rude, I will never go back.

I want to give 0 star if I can. Terrible customer service and dishonest. I ordered chicken pieces at ubereat and I didn't choose spicy, so I assume I have ordered non spicy chickens. Unfortunately they made all chicken pieces spicy. I asked for exchanged and the cashier started give us different excuses so that we cannot exchange. She explained the store only sells spicy chickens and later said all non spicy chickens sold out and cannot exchange for us. And she also said Uber doesn't have the option to choose non spicy chickens. So after waiting 30 minutes for the chickens, even though we are starving , we have to cancel the order because no one can eat spicy food. When we left the restaurant, I heard the cashier yelled to the kitchen to ask to cook 1/2 spicy and 1/2 non spicy chickens for the next customer. She is so dishonest and I will not go back again.
