“Usually skeptical about highly rated pho places after a bad experience at a famous joint that opened in Etobicoke...you can probably figure that one out. When I saw sweetness in the soup I was thinking I probably won't like it.The other reviews aren't wrong there is a sweetness to the soup. But it works and it's actually very delicious and not overwhelming like the other places.Definitely recommended will try sate and bone marrow next time.“
“It's really good. Hey Noodles is celebrating their 8th location opening, offering $1 soup noodles. They are a fast casual sit down that offers up Sichuan style Street fareI opted for the street noodles which they normally charge $7.99. I asked for EXTRA SPICY because, as the saying goes, if it doesn't burn, you'll never learn.The broth had all my senses tingling like Tobey McGuire. It was savory, spicy, and had deep earthy aromatics. The noodles were springy, had the right thickness and soaked up all the flavor of the broth without getting soggy. And the crazy party is, you can get unlimited FREE noodle refills.It's so difficult to explain how satisfying this seemingly simple dish was. This is nothing else like this so definitely give it a try.I post on social media as Famous_Dave. Try to find me and follow for more.“
“1. Food - good! Came out hot. Green curry chicken, cashew chicken, beef pad see ew were all tasty. We asked for curry dish to be very spicy and I think that was a mistake as it took away from the flavor. One criticism was that the curry was too runny. Maybe we could have asked for it to be made thicker. We prefer that. But food was good. 2. Service - we reserved our table for dinner and the server sat us at the wrong table so she apologetically asked us to move. When we asked for water we had to ask more than once. It was busy at the time but with the spicy food it would have been nice to get it fast. We ordered three dishes. Two came very quickly. We finished them and the third hadn't arrived yet. We had to ask a server for its whereabouts and then he brought it. It was very hot so maybe it just took longer to prepare but I actually think they forgot about it. The service was a 3/5 but the food was good so it balances out. 3. Ambiance - nice interior. Wood panelling. Booths. Very cozy.“
“Fantastic food and service, and excellent value. The chef's counter dining experience was a generous 12 course meal, and the chef added a few more on top of that. It is one of best tasting menus I've ever had. Filipino fusion cuisine was very well executed. This may be my new favourite restaurant in Toronto.“

“Excellent Chinese restaurant, great atmosphere and delicious food, especially Lanzhou beef noodles. My girlfriend and I often lunch her, and because of the pandemic, we are now ordering delivery. Very fast, tasty and not expensive. ps. You should definitely try fried noodles, chunks of lamb, and barbecue skewers.“
“Here's the pro move - they have the best stir fried noodle dish in the city - Bokkeum Jjampoong - gotta order extra noodles if sharing. We also ordered their Black-bean-sauce rice which comes with a deep fried omelette and a side bowl of their delicious Jjamppong soup.“
“Great al dente noodles, fresh, hand pulled in the store. Very attentive service. I liked the little bonuses - a basket to hold your jacket and bags; a bib to avoid splashing my clothes. About 8 tables. Clean washrooms. GreenP street parking.“
“Found another gem to add to my list of favorite Chinese noodle spots in the GTA, and it's conveniently close to home. I was genuinely surprised by the texture of the noodles, perfectly chewy yet soft, a delightful characteristic that melded seamlessly with the high-quality soup base and toppings. The broth and use of spices are so well executed that I'd recommend it even to those new to Chinese noodles. I particularly enjoyed the beef tendon noodle, which I ended up trying after a suggestion to switch from my original chow mein order due to a super lengthy delay. The recommendation was spot on, and while I loved the soup noodles, the texture of the stir-fried noodles seemed even more appealing. Next time, I definitely plan to dive into their chow mein selections to experience more of their notably superior noodle texture.Vegetarian options: Limited vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: No gluten free options availableParking: Even that street parking fairly hard to findKid-friendliness: Kids may have to share the bowl with someone. The portion is ok generous sideWheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair access front of the entrance“

“Update:The beef brisket + wonton is awesome flavours and beef is moist not tough.Came to try this place out after many reviews and got the traditional shrimp wonton noodle. The wontons are very delicious as well as broth, the noodles on the other hand didn't have much taste. I think next time I will try the beef brisket and shrimp wonton.“
“The best Thai restaurant that I've ever been to. The food is delicious and presented well. Our waiter was super friendly and checked in on us regularly. The place has a modern decor, and the lights in the middle can even become a show. Just make sure you come early or make reservations because it fills up quick.“
“My favourite Thai restaurant in Toronto, food is always fresh and flavourful! Every menu item is delicious (yes I have tried them all) but I especially recommended the Bolan Pad Thai and Panang Curry Beef.Great cozy place for a date or dinner with family.“
“I went to Poong Moon with my elderly Korean parents recently. Initially I wasn’t sure whether we made a right choice given how it looked more like a pub/bar instead of a Korean-Chinese restaurant. But don’t look that fool you. The food was outstanding. My parents and I enjoyed it very much. The service was also great as well even though they were really busy. It’s too bad that we live in Montreal otherwise we would be here a lot more often.“

“The king size dumplings are super tasty and the kimichi tastes super fresh. Highly recommend in term of the quality of the food and the dumplings are about $1-2 dollars cheaper than the other one. It tastes not as salty than the others nearby but its not as big (that has terrible customer service) that sells the same thing. Update: just went into the store in person to check out the place today. The server who greeted me had NO customer service. After I ordered she kicked me out of the store to stand in the cold for 10 mins to wait for the food...and there was only her and the cook and no other customer in the store. I have also ordered their homemade kimichi as a side and it is such a small bowl but more expensive than the other korean restaurant (theirs small kimichi is $3 bucks) nearby who served similar food....hmmmmmm worth to give it a try but the customer service will keep me from going into the store for a bit. Just order take out its easier“
“Appreciate reply from owner. Looks like some not-so-smart people who don't know what they are doing said Halal in reviews so I thought maybe owner told them it is.Please note this is NOT a Halal food establishment.(Although one day would love to try Halal version of these dishes!)*Original Review*Halal??? Literally serves pork. Owners reply then I delete this review.“
“Really good HK noodle restaurant that seems authentic and uses fresh ingredients. Portion sizes are large and prices are reasonable, with a good menu selection. They also offer frozen dim sum and fried fish skins for sale. The restaurant a bit small, so expect to wait during busy times. The waitresses speak Cantonese. They only take cash or debit. I will return to try more of the menu.“
“【Eating in Toronto】If you want to eat authentic Guilin rice noodles, you must visit Yixiaoguan in Green Building, North York, address: 11 Bogert Ave, North York, ON M2N 0H3.First of all, the brine must be authentic, and more than 20 kinds of spices are indispensable. Secondly, the pot cooking must be authentic, and the process must be meticulous.The boss and the proprietress are very nice, and will tell you how to eat each snack, making a snack bar full of fun of food culture.Hot and sour fried rice noodles is also one of the specialties here. Have you ever eaten hot and sour fried rice noodles without vinegar? It turned out to be the sour taste of sour bamboo shoots, delicious and delicious, oily but not greasy.The deliciousness is not a little bit, and the Wuhan hot and dry noodles in Yixiaoguan are also delicious. Even I, a Wuhan native, have to give a thumbs up to Yixiaoguan.“
“Oh my God, this restaurant was one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve ever been to ? My boyfriend and I literally had a feast there, ordering many things cause the prices were amazingly good, and everything was absolutely amazing ? We had such a good time; the vibe and atmosphere were amazing. All the staff were very, very friendly, and we highly recommend this place. I really liked the skewers, stir-fried noodles, and the fish balls. They were so yummy ? We really loved it. Also, you can check out my Instagram page for more restaurants, cafés, and places in Toronto. I post many contents and ideas there ? @melinmorad“
“Hadn't had Pho in a LONG time. This place hits it outta the park. Wonderful friendly staff, greeted with a Warm welcome. Promptly seated. Order taken within minutes. Piping hot green jasmine tea. The Pho and fresh toppings are amazing. Look forward to the next pho top up.“
“Water sashimi!!!!!!!! This is the only raw fish dish you can taste in Toronto. Please don't get rid of the raw fish menu and keep selling it. When I was pregnant, the thing I wanted to eat the most was raw fish, but I couldn't eat it, so it remained in my heart. It's so nice to be able to eat raw fish that tastes as similar to Korean as possible. It was worth driving for an hour. They said it's for one person, but it's so big that even two people would be full. I think I'll go there often whenever I think of it.“
“The milk tea is average, the frozen mandarin duck is better, the noodles are ok, and the Thai-style Hainanese chicken rice - the chicken tastes good and a little slippery, but the chicken rice is loose. The special price of noodles or rice snacks and hot and cold drinks is $15 + tax, which is reasonable. The food is served quickly, close to Hong Kong style speed.“
“This is the best pocca I have ever had in GTA. It tastes like I'm at a Korean pocca or food vendor. It's a small building with a small seating area. I ordered online for pickup and it was ready on time. It kept its heat for the 25 minute ride home with no need to reheat. Will absolutely be coming back again and again.“
“Best authentic and delicious pho. They dont skimp on any of the ingredients. Great seating area. The parking in this plaza is very hard to get a spot. The food here is good. I would highly recomend. The number 1 dish to try is the main pho it comes out within minutes and very tasty. I go here when i can.“
“The food is great but I don't know if it justifies over $20 a bowl of noodles after tax and tips. The lady that works at nights is great but why is she the ONLY server in the entire restaurant? The poor girl was running around the restaurant servicing over 10 tables at the same time and couldn't even catch a breath. She was so polite and so quick though and does a great job every time we go.She's the reason the restaurant is getting a 4 star; I'd give management a 0 for being cheap and not hiring extra help.“
“The shop is small but very cozy. It specializes in Northeastern cuisine. I love the Northeastern handmade dumplings and steamed buns with soy sauce, as well as mustard-spiced shredded lamb tripe, braised lamb and intestines. There is a lot of delicious food, and the boss is very enthusiastic.“
“Absolute beauty of a place, serving up dumplings noodles and assorted dim sum dishes. They have a small eat in counter but this is primarily a takeout and delivery spot. We had a few plates of dumpling and split the Szechuan style hot and sour noodles. All was great.“
“I ordered on Uber Eats for the first time and I was SO HAPPY with my order! I got the beef and rice, fresh shrimp and pork rolls and an avocado shake. I must say the beef was flavoured very well and I loved the pickled veggies it cut through the meal amazing! The rolls were also individually wrapped in their packaging so they didn’t stick together, the shake was super cold considering I live 40 minutes away it tasted like they just made the shake! I loved the consistency and I’ll be visiting in person for sure!! Thank you for the great dinner ?“
“My gf and I were on the hunt for some thai food in North York after a summer yelp event nearby.And would you happen to know, we stumbled on the best thai place in North York! Tucked away next to Hero Burger at Yonge and Sheppard in a tiny unit which stretches back. You walk in and the ventilation is not great haha (it's quite humid).The drinks are definitely way more worth it in terms of value compared to it's other counterparts (they're big). I ordered a thai iced green tea and it was very refreshing! Not sweet at all.Crispy pork pad thai: It's not often you find crispy pork belly as an option for pad thai at places, so we opted to try. The pork was crackly, succulent and fatty. The noodles were nice and strong on the tamarind flavour. This was a great pad thai. Si Lom Thai Bistro (downtown) is the only other thai place I know that has a unique protein option (soft shell crab) for pad thai.Khao soi w/ chicken (mild): The broth is really, really good here. That being said, does it beat the broth at Pai Northern Thai (downtown) or Isaan Der's in Richmond Hill? Nahh. One tier below hehe. They put a lot of chicken in it though. So that's bonus marks.Service was excellent! There was always at least 1 server wandering around to collect empty plates/dishes and provide extra utensils/napkins.The other thing I absolutely loved was 15% CASH DISCOUNT. Bruhhhh that's so good.I think I'll pay a visit to the other BKK Thai location next time as their menu seems like it has a lil couple, extra items on it that this location doesn't have.“
“Food looked just like the menu, tasted not great, it was amazingly DELICIOUS. Really good service, food came fast & the waiters gave water every time our cups weren’t filled. Overall if you’re looking for a great affordable restaurant this is the place. Food, place, basically everything is amazing! Try this place I recommend that you try eating here. Not to mention the wait time to get a table is almost between 2-3 minutes (it quick). In conclusion, try this place it’s really amazing. :DParking: There are many of spots for parkingKid-friendliness: They have cups, spoons, & bowls that are directly for kids.“
“This place contains two restaurants - one is Yang's Braised Chicken and one is Yunshang Rice Noodle. One can order from both restaurants on the same menu. Their signature dish is the Braised Boneless Chicken with Rice. Chicken was tender and flavourful. It has different spice levels to choose from - the spicy one was really spicy so think twice before you order it. The chilli oil was authentic. Service was great. The interior was quite Chinese style.Food (quality, presentation) - 4/5Drinks (quality, variety) - NA/5Ambience (interior, cleanness) - 3.5/5Service - 4/5Value - 5/5“

“I'd like to start this off by saying, I am NOT good at handling spice. And the medium spice level, which is generally something I can handle, was so spicy, I immediately regretted it. That being said, the ingredients are very fresh and flavourful, and the soup base itself is also very tasty. I liked the "open bar" concept here, it's very unique for Canada. The staff were incredibly nice and very polite as well. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the space inside. It's very small and can only hold about 10 people comfortably. But other than that, absolutely amazing place, truly a hidden gem!“
“We got Tonkotsu, Black Tonkotsu and Black Miso.I ate the Tonkotsu, it was tasty (not the best I had but good overall). The person who got Black Tonkotsu said that it was very too salty but tasty anyway. The person who got Black Miso said it was really tasty, though the sweet mushroom was a strange experience for them.The servers were really nice, kind, polite and overall pleasant to interact with.Food was ready quickly which is always a plus. We will definitely come again.“
“I ate here many years ago before it was called this place. I ordered Jidi porridge, imperial concubine chicken, rice rolls, curry beef, etc. Jidi porridge contains pork, tender pork liver and crispy pork kidney. It is large in quantity, delicious and cheap for only 7 dollars for a large bowl. The imperial concubine chicken is the best Cantonese chicken I have eaten in Toronto. The chicken body is ice-cold and fragrant with ginger velvet. What is rare is that you can actually see the layer of jelly in the middle of the chicken skin! Delicious food on earth! The coffee is freshly roasted and very spicy and delicious. The rice rolls are better than all the well-known morning tea shops, the skin is soft and elastic, and it is better than the old street rice rolls. The only ordinary ones are salt and pepper, which is a foreigner's method of coating fried fish with flour. In fact, it tastes pretty good. To sum up, every dish is of a high standard, far superior to Cantonese restaurants such as Queen and Emperor’s Famous Porridge. Thanks to this Cantonese chef in Toronto for imparting his cooking skills.“

“The broth base is very flavourful if true that its boiled for 12 hrs before serving. Fast and friendly service. Large location around First Markham Place. The popcorn Chicken is also a highlight, properly fried and soft on the inside served with a mayo-based sauce. Their original noodle is served either with everything already cooking in the boiling hot broth or on the side, go for the former as the broth is very hot and it needs to cool down. Unlimited rice noodles if you need more. Comfort food for sure. Cash and debit only though.“
“Parking: Parking lot is very busy and they are like 10 to 12 spots but besides is a Western Union, laundromat, nails salon and another place so you have to have patienceKid-friendliness: Well they speak English with strong Chinese accent but you can understand them plus they will explain anything you need to know ?“
“Pork pineapple bun was absolutely delicious. All ingredients were fresh, for the perfect balance of fluffy, sweet, crunchy, and salty.Baked spaghetti was alright (meat to sauce ratio was lacking), flavours were okay.Hong kong milk tea was good.Fantastic service, fast, friendly. One of the ladies was SO nice to me -- even though the pork pineapple bun wasn't offered at the time I went, she spoke with the chef and they made it happen. I'd definitely love to come back and try their other menu items.“
“The plaza this restaurant is located in is a bit rundown. The restaurant itself is brightly lit and seems vibrant enough. On a Monday night before six, the place was already about half full. Only 2 servers but the service was fine and both servers were very friendly.The food was good, portions were good size and pretty good value. I also noticed that they have quite a few set meals to choose from. Good choice for a low-key Cantonese meal.“
“I was in the area and craving pho, we found this restaurant across from FMP. The pho was really tasty and they gave us big portions! The fresh spring rolls were really yummy too! I will definitely come back again when I'm in Markham. FYI, there's no menu, you have to order by QR code, and if you pay cash it's 10% off.“
“We had been wanting to try this place for a while and we’re glad we finally did! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the menu prices are quite reasonable. They’re also connected to a bubble tea place which is pretty convenient. We love that they have free noodle refills (you can order a full or half portion).“
“You know it’s good when there’s usually a line up even before closing time.Pros: Tasty stews (can run out pretty fast especially Gamjatang), huge portion, reasonable price (not cutting throat like downtown Korean food) and hardworking cashier lady 5 is solidly for the food.Cons: A bit of waiting time since there’s only 1 cook. Be patient when you choose to eat here during rush hour. Small size homemade kimchi on the side as well - everyone gets a small plate only. Ok for me.Overall I enjoy the food and the self serve aspect of Samgol and the other vendors in World on Yonge’s food court. Would stop by again !“
“On our way to the airport, decided to stop for a bite to eat.Don't let the outdoor appearance dissuade you from eating here.My sister, husband and I, shared a dish and some spring rolls, and the food was amazing! We are seniors and light eaters, but I highly recommend this place. Clean and comfortable!“
“Buzzing little restaurant with delicious food. My favorites would be the liver porridge and the wonton noodles. Every portion was generous with a very reasonable price. You'll leave this place satisfied and fulfilled. Although we can't book a table, the line isn't long and we are quickly seated.“
“Why this place isnt jam packed everyday i am still unsure. I love thai food and woodbridge may not be the first place you think of when it comes to thai but this place is always a hit. I find myself going back frequently with friends and family because its just so good. The green curry is astounding but for me, the kao soi is what really puts this place on the map. The vibe is cozy and its my favourite thai spot in vaughan with great cocktails and phenomenal service.“
“Just ordered via UrberEat - good portion and flavour, clean presentation which are the important 3 elements for take out. Some dishes are on promotion and they didn’t cheap out on the portion which shows good business sense (I will never order again from places that do that). Son, the Canadian born likes the Chicken Leg lunch and I enjoy more authentic dishes - it’s rare to find a restaurant we all enjoy so will order again!“
“It's a good place to have some thai food. I have tried pad thai, fried rice, and chicken dish. The food is not bad. Service is also good, however nothing remarkable.The price is decent. The fried rice was good. The pad thai was good as well. No complaints about this place. The spring roles were on the oily side, but it was tasty.“
“A lot of mediocre sushi restaurants where we order sushi party trays have California rolls in 5 different ways which is so frustrating when it comes to trying to get the whole sushi taste experience. However sushi LoLo on the other hand has so many varieties of sushi when you order their patty tray. It makes me so happy that they give so much thought to putting their menu and how tasty their sushis are and for an affordable price. I always pick sushi LoLo!!!“
