“Usually crowded here, but the staff work fast and you get what you want.Dietary restrictions: Unfortunately due to my dietary restrictions, I can only have non-meat options such as french fries or ice cream. And McDonalds doesn’t have any halal options either.Parking: South & North lot are the most accessible to the McDonalds, keep in mind it is in Walmart”
“Amazing meal with a gorgeous view of Downtown Toronto! Warm service and didn't feel rushed at all. Great selection of daily specials and the signature coconut cream pie is not to be missed.”
“Super busy place. We did walk in and had about a half hour wait, which was to be expected. We got all four main dishes and, the red coconut curry noodle dish, along with Gai Satay. Very good food, great garnishes, and really nice atmosphere! Will say, I did have a headache by the end of the dinner, as the lowlight + music + crowd noise was quite a lot.Vegetarian options: Every dish had a veggie/vegan option!!”
“Everything was delicious but I didn't feel it was worth the money despite being no stranger to fine dining. Although everything was cooked to perfection with quality ingredients, the portions for the price felt very off. We were expecting a full piece of chicken but got a baby chicken breast which was confusing. The cabbage was absolutely yum and unexpected. The brioche was our favorite part but was complimentary lol I would pay money for those without question.Worth a try but expect to pay $130+ per person and potentially be hungry after.”
“Hello. I came by for the first time a few days ago with my grandma and cousin who just came from Vietnam. We would all like to say that our server Kate was exceptional. She was amazing, service was great! It was our first time going to Haidilao and we definitely enjoyed our time there as well as the food. The Tom Yum soup was really good, we wouldn’t get the hot and spicy soup and the tomato soup was alright, for those who like mild, that is your go-to! The beef, shrimp, and vegetables, everything was good!”
“Had a lovely date night here with my partner. We spontaneously booked a reservation at 5:30pm, which was actually a lovely time to go(our food came quickly, was delicious, and service was great). The menu changes often, which keeps things interesting.”
“Miss Annie from the Markham store is really impeccable in her service. She was very patient in recommending which pots are delicious and which dishes are popular! The service was very friendly throughout the entire process, and they even gave us delicious cones at the end! With such a good service attitude, I will definitely come back!”
“Everyone was so nice, and friendly, especially Hazel, she always smiled and focused on everyone, she knew that we needed help but we were too shy to speak it out. Love every time come and enjoy Hotspot. Hadilao is the best?”
“Arguably the top restaurant in Canada.From the moment you step into the restaurant and head to your seat, you will notice the quality of service will be aligned for the whole night.This is my second experience and everything has been consistent since the first (3 years ago during covid)My favourite part was noticing how they remove your plates/cuterly after each meal. Our sommelier recommended us the perfect wine for the night.I got the pleasure observe the kitchen from my table. If you are into the culinary scene, you will notice how meticulous they are when it comes to preparing your dish. From the steps they take to the team chants they do.After watching the TV series 'the bear' (highly recommended) you will appreciate the little things you didn't notice before.Thank you for the wonderful night and this will not be my last experience at alo.”
“My wife and two of our grown kids were in town for the last night of Feist’s tour so where to eat? My wife chose 1 kitchen not knowing it was in a hotel. Hotel dining can sometimes be an iffy proposition. NOT so here. The food was very good. Their dip sampler was delicious, served with crusty, grilled bread and crudités…the red pepper Babaganoush being the standout. Same with the roasted Eggplant, served on a brushstroke of tahini yogurt mixed with fresh herbs and sprinkled with roasted hazelnuts. The Gnocchi with Corn and cotija was delicious but frankly needed salt and my son enjoyed the rigatoni with Vegan Chorizo…yes, VEGAN Chorizo is a thing! Lastly my Salmon was well cooked. The skin crispy on the outside with the interior still slightly undercooked. The Chermoula while tasty, was more like a Chimichurri, which unfortunately didn’t really do well when cooked. It was added to the skin side and not the flesh side so you couldn’t really tell it was there. However the waitress brought more over and it was a delicious accompaniment to the fish and it’s Broccolini over a Beurre Blanc. The service was excellent and she even offered us her own extensive bucket list of restaurants to choose from for the next days meal! We took desserts to go. NOT a cheap meal, but we were more than satisfied and left feeling well fed and well cared for.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and a few vegan options”
“My friend and I were visiting Toronto for 2 days and once we discovered this restaurant we knew we had to try it. We ordered the Potohari Goat Karahi. Our waitress recommended it and she was right...it was phenomenal. This place is 100% a must for anyone! Try it and you won't regret it.”
“I took my husband to celebrate an occasion and it was phenomenal. The food is spectacular and the service was amazing. I recommend the chicken fried mushrooms as an appetizer. Our server, Meet, made our night really special. Thanks Meet!Vegetarian options: The vegetarian burger is the best I've ever had”
“Food was great. The pineapple chutney was so good! You will need a reservation esp at night because this place is always packed. Best to go in the afternoon around 2pm since it is not too crowded.”
“Went to PLANTA on Bay Street for brunch with a friend. I opted for the power lunch which was $28 dollars for a starter, main, and a giant cookie. I got the 1000 layered potato, and the chick'n waffles.The layered potatoes were crispy, and the vegan sour cream on top was indistinguishable from regular sour cream.The chick'n waffles had a nice combination of sweet, spicy, and salty. It was very satisfying and seasoned perfectly.My friend had a gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate her! They did inform her that there may be cross contamination, which is something to look out for.The service was very attentive, and friendly. Definitely, try this place!”
“Outstanding food and service. The curated menu was 11/10. We wanted something seafood-focused and they truly delivered. The seabream was perfection. Highly recommend chef counter seating - it makes the experience so special watching the magic happen. Great vibes all around!”
“This restaurant has been recommended by a friend for a long time and I finally stopped by to try it today! It was not meal time when we went, so luckily we didn’t have to wait for a table, but the tables inside were almost full. The store pays great attention to service attitude, and the lady Jenny who helped us order was super gentle and gave a lot of good suggestions. We ordered four dishes of Perfume Frog, Maoxuewang, Pickled Pepper Rabbit and Yellow Throat. They tasted really good. Because we like spicy food, we chose to add spicy food. After adding spicy food, Maoxuewang was indeed spicier and more enjoyable. The fat sausage in it is well processed. Even people who don’t eat fat sausage find it quite delicious after eating it! The only thing I am a little disappointed with is that there is too little blood in Mao Xue Wang and the pieces are smaller...but I personally highly recommend Perfume Frog! The frog meat is fresh and tender, and the diced melon inside (it seems to be chayote) is super sweet and delicious!”
“Wonderful restaurant! Apps were amazing (toasted focaccia and burrata), mains were good too (saffron tonnarelli was a bit too spicy for us; the branzino was lovely). Perfect amount of seasoning overall. Great wine selection. Would definitely go back.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been to dt Liu Yishou to eat hot pot for one person. It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I feel that the quality of the ingredients is better. I tried the cuttlefish slippery dish which I had never had before. After it was cooked, the cuttlefish inside tasted very distinct, which was a bit surprising. The service is also very good, and the dishes are added in a timely manner. The most important thing is that when you are tired, you can have some self-pickup snacks to change the taste. Although it is a snack, the food is very solid. Small cakes, steamed buns, spring rolls, chicken feet, etc. can all be made into one portion. It is great if you can pick it up for free. Come back next time!”
“Where the east meets west. Indulge in the finest sea urchins, bluefin tuna belly, and freshly prepared wasabi—all at an unparalleled value. Immerse yourself in the ambiance and engage with the chef for a richer experience, enhanced further if you can speak a bit of Japanese.”
“Tried out the testing menu. It was Plant Based, Innovative, and Delicious.The best ones were the simplest dishes.A few too many dishes with citrusy notes; The complex ones had too many elements, flavourful but maybe not necessary.Very warm and welcoming staff.Vegetarian options: Plant based”
“Délicieuse in every way! Le Swan is a classic, chic, elevated French style diner. The food is amazing, service is top notch & the cocktails are delicious. We loved everything & had such a great time there. Our server was friendly, funny & very knowledgeable about the menu. He made excellent suggestions of both drinks & food. Some of our highlights were, well, everything! We are excited to go back to try the items we didn’t get!”
“My daughter and I just ate dinner here and loved every bite and every thing about the experience. The staff, the ambience, the presentation, was all divine. The food was so delicious. We had hot and sour soup, mango salad, and crispy chili chicken. We will definitely be back.”
“The food was good The service was good as well if you go to this place on a weekend.It will be very busy so I recommend going earlier on a weekday if you're looking for something more ”
“I have eaten many hot pots, and this Liu Yishou restaurant is the most recommended! The service and atmosphere are the best, and the hotpot base should taste even better!”
“Best Shawarma I’ve had, and the service was more than I expected, I was greeted by the owner when I walked through the door, He explained his process of doing things to enhance the flavour of the meat, Everything Is considered, everything is carefully done.”
“Our server Shawn was really amazing. He was on the top of his game. Provided us with napkins when he saw we ran out without us needing to ask for more, every time we came back to our table, the finished dishes were always taken away and water was constantly being topped off. His service might have been the best one compared to other restaurants I’ve been to recently. Would definitely come again!Kid-friendliness: Nice environment”
“Overall it was enjoyable and the atmosphere is great for a date night. The pumpkin dumplings and the pork hock were standout and very unique. We weren't a huge fan of the fried watermelon (felt like it was missing some flavours to pull it together). The fried trout was visually pleasing but didn't love the bready texture. However, the service is phenomenal, they really do their best to help you order and are flexible to customize.”
“Love the atmosphere here. Very modern and chic. It’s a great place for friends or couples to hang out . The fish is very fresh with great presentation. I Definitely come back.”
“Absolutely incredible food. I haven’t eaten at a place this good in awhile. The lentil soup was amazing and I definitely recommend. We went on a Sunday at noon so it was a really long wait, but definitely worth it once you’re inside.”
“OG McDonald's that recently renovated inside.Food and everything is standard across most McDonald's.Parking could be a pain though. Limited especially with the car service place beside this place.”
