Don Cherry's Restaurant





New name, new restaurant - now the M.I.C. (Made In Canada)

It was a beautiful sunny evening when we arrived at Don Cherry's Restaurant. Although there were thunderstorms and rainshowers throughout the day, the evening was perfect.

We had all been here several times before and all of us liked the food, atmosphere and service from this restaurant over the years it has been open in Sudbury.

Tonight (Wednesday, August 13 2008) it was surprisingly busy since Sudbury seems to have shut down for the summer months. However the service was excellent and the food was delivered in good time in spite of the larger crowd.

The total meal cost a resonable $72.61 for the four of us with one cocktail.

Everyone enjoyed their meal and we even had some extra to take home.

A pleasant evening at a reasonable price.

Canton





I was a little hesitant to go to this restaurant, mainly because of its location in the front section of the Rainbow Center. Not that the location was poor or anything like that, it is just that I often see undesirable types hanging around outside of this restaurant. Mind you, it might just be all in my imagination since I have never witnessed a problem here.

It was on our list regardless and so we ended up at this restaurant.

Our choice was easy - "dinner for four" and after a little hesitation at the order counter (they usually only provide this dinner for take-out) they said to sit down and they would bring it to our table.

We ordered our drinks (canned pop) and sat at the table. Within seconds the order began to arrive. I thought that it wasn't too bad but not so much variety as pork ribs, bar-b-qued chicken wings, fried rice and a broccoli and mistery meat dish was brought to our table.

I started on the meal, and then to my surprise the rest of it showed up - namely Chicken Balls, egg rolls (4) and of course - the ever present fortune cookies.

The staff was very friendly and accomodating.

The food was typical chinese but a little better than the usual. I thouroughly enjoyed the meal and at $42.75 it was about half the price of eating at most other chinese restaurants.

Oh yeah - there was lots so we took the rest home to enjoy at our leisure.
