Welcome to Gene's Restaurant!
This family business has served Stratford since 1970 and is one of the
longest existing restaurants in the area. Established by Larry and Rae Gene
at its original location on Erie Street with 35 seats, Gene's Restaurant moved
to the present 81 Ontario Street location in 1975.
As well as being known for its "Classic" Chop Suey-Chicken Ball style of
Chinese food, the restaurant offers Cantonese, Szechuan, and "Canadian"
