The Bun offers authentic Sichuan-style Chinese
street food, rejecting improvised Canadian-Chinese
food dishes. The menu is straightforward , you
order at the counter, and waiters deliver food to
the long communal tables. Start by trying the
pulled pork sandwich or Sichuan-style wontons
with special chili house sauce. There is a delicious
sour and spicy Sichuan shredded potato dish and
blistered tiger skin peppers (the name comes from
the color of the peppers after they’ve been seared in
a hot wok, which resembles a tiger’s coat). There is
a variety of good noodle dishes. 196 Dundas Street,
519-567-5741.
Rain & Sunny Chinese Noodles, a Hunan-inspired
noodle house has opened at 186 King St., northeast
of Five Fortune House, in the premises of the
former King’s Diner.
Some of the most consistent dim sum is to be found
at London Chinese Restaurant, located in the strip
mall at Oxford and Wonderland. It is served all

also serves some of the best dim sum in the city.
We recommend you go there from Thursday to
Sunday for the finest experience. Golden Dragon in
Byron is known for the best crisp, dark-golden skin

and known for its Cantonese dishes and congee.
Five Fortune Culture House located downtown at
Richmond and King is well known for its Yunnanstyle
home cooking with Sichuan and Guizhou
influences.

Wich is Wich has relocated to Wellington St., south
of Oxford (once Willie’s Café), serving the same
great food (global flavours, exotic ingredients,
and textural contrasts). Still, they’re not just
serving gourmet sandwiches. Chef Josh Sawyer
calls it “homestyle,” and they’re taking comfort
food to a whole new level. Locally-sourced
whenever possible, meals are crafted from hearty
