The 2025 Elite 30 CANADA marks a defining milestone for the Chinese Restaurant Awards — the first time the list expands nationwide to honour the remarkable diversity of Chinese dining across Canada. Curated with insight from regional Taste Advisors who truly know the finest Chinese cuisine in their cities, the judging was based on the overall satisfaction of the dining experience.
This inaugural ranking celebrates how Chinese flavours have flourished from coast to coast — where heritage meets innovation, and craftsmanship continues to evolve. More than a list, it tells the story of how Chinese cuisine shapes the nation’s culinary identity and continues to captivate new generations of diners.
Each featured restaurant includes recommended signature dishes chosen by the panel — a guide to what to taste and why it matters — reaffirming the Awards’ mission to define excellence and inspire the rediscovery of Chinese cuisine in all its depth, artistry, and soul.
