“Good food enjoyed it. Sauce was great“

“Everything was so delicious!

MUST TRY: the monkfish liver, any of their udon dishes and the old Korean-style Whole Fried Chicken.

Parking is a bit tricky. We parked at the back as some businesses were closed during the weekends so we parked there, but I would be careful during working business hours.“

“If you are a Seafood lover this place will not disappoint!
The Seafood boil is cooked to perfection in a rich Cajun boil sauce that was to die for, and the Mac & Cheese was extremely well made not your average.
An absolute hidden gem do not miss out on Seafood Kitchen.“

“Lovely neighbourhood restaurant. It punches above its weight, for sure. Excellent value and very good quality food. Also, a nice wine list with reasonable prices. Warm, friendly, efficient service. My one criticism was the clam chowder - it was tasty but there were barely any clams in the soup for $16. Otherwise, everything else was great!“

“A small, welcoming spot with genuinely friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Portions are solid, prices are fair, and the warm, inviting atmosphere makes it an easy place to relax and enjoy a meal. A dependable neighbourhood choice with great service and a comfortable vibe.“

“I'm very pleased and happy that I ordered a mouth watering 😋 delicacy of fish and chips for my mother and I at this prestigious restaurant!!! I appreciate firstly and foremostly the way everything was packed so neatly, clean and tidy, edible and safely... Secondly, I was surprised to find that the portions were heavily packed and generous 😇 in the offerings 🫴... Mom and I ate half of our fish and chips each, the haddock with the fries, coleslaw and tarter sauce... I also very much appreciate the cutlery, stapled paperbag marked (8lbs) knowing 😄 👌 😉 I'm getting more than enough and for the Uber driver to handle with care due to the weight which he did... The meal was special, tasty, tantalizing our taste buds, while we watched a Michael Jackson documentary... A spectacular feast... Could serve 4 persons instead of 2 or like mom and I we will have the rest tomorrow again for dinner 🍽 😋...
Thank you so much for treating your customers with significant care and acknowledgement. I really appreciate your time, service and delicious fish dinner that was delivered to us in a timely manner... Being a satisfied customer I will recommend your business and surely will shop again in the future another night 🌙 when I'm craving Captain John Donland's Fish 🐟 & chips 🍟.
Sincerely,
Carol and Ebony“

“Seafood pasta was delicious , my daughter love the oysters and crab cake !“

“Amazing food, Amazing service. The Red Lobster in Thornhill is hands down the best restaurant anywhere in York Region.“

“Top class service, tasty food, great wine, and just a wonderful experience. I called for a reservation for my girl's birthday a week in advance and the owner remembered without me saying a word when we arrived. At the end he brought her a complimentary delicious French vanilla ice cream topped with a macaron and raspberries filled with caramel. That's world class. As for the main meal, we ordered crab cakes, scallops, and I had the ribeye and she had the striploin. It was cooked exactly the way we love it and the beef quality is absolutely fantastic. The Chilean wine we had with it was fantastic. My desert was a warm pecan pie a la mode. Just delicious. This is the kind of place you would want to be at for a special birthday. We will 100% be back. Service like this isn't common in Toronto and I think you will enjoy it as much as we did.“

“Nice food 🥘👍🏻friendly staff.“

“very good service!! specially the food“

“I saw a video in Tiktok where in they tried this fish and chips restaurant, so I gave it a try. In all honesty, it didn't disappoint me, the serving of the fish and chips are great alongside with its taste. I've tried the haddock and chips. Definitely, will come back here soon. Good for people who do meat abstinence this Lent season. 👍“

“A unforgettable dining experience last 07/04/25 (Friday)! Shoutout to Chef/Owner Danny Cancino and his team for an impeccable service! 👏 Every dish and the complimentary additions were phenomenal! The modern twist in Filipino cuisine was definitely well done!💖🌟 Here are some of my standout favorites 🤯: • Pineapple + Kombu (Seaweed): Refreshing and light, with crispy seaweed balancing the sweet, citrusy pineapple 💛 • Duck Ensaymada w/ Duck Prosciutto and Truffle Butter: One of the fluffiest breads I’ve ever had, inspired by classic ensaymada. Spreading truffle butter on it was chef’s kiss—it melts in your mouth! 😭👌 • Scallop Inari Lumpia: Beautifully presented with fried sushi rice, ginger-chili dressed Argentinian shrimp, and seared scallop on top. The rice was fluffy and so tasty I could eat it endlessly! • Iberico Pork Collar: Juicy, saucy, and umami-packed tender pork with chicharon, lettuce leaves, and sesame aioli. The pickled papaya (atchara) was a nice touch—I don’t usually eat atchara, but I loved it with this! • Beef Short Rib Kare-Kare: The star of the show! 🌟👏 Rich, classic kare-kare flavors with blanched bok choy and eggplant. The thick, peanuty sauce was delightful—if only there was rice! 🤣😋 Hope as many people as possible get to try this ultimate gourmet experience, whether you’re visiting Toronto or a Canada local! 🌟 Thank you Mineral!☺️Until we visit again!“

“We celebrated our son’s 25th birthday at Fishman’s Lobster House (our 5th visit) and had another excellent experience. The server was extremely helpful in recommending the right combo for our two tables, making the ordering process easy and stress-free. The serving staff and management were kind, patient, and attentive throughout.

We were pleasantly surprised by the birthday discount, and truly appreciated management catching and returning an overpayment I had made — an honest and thoughtful gesture.

The new steak addition was perfectly prepared and delicious. To make the celebration even more special, they played Happy Birthday over the speakers and offered to help cut and serve the cake. Everyone left full and satisfied.

Five stars — highly recommended.“

“Friendly staff, yummy food“

“Had a wonderful family dinner last night at Full Yuan Restaurant in Scarborough to pre-celebrate my auntie’s birthday, and it honestly could not have been a better choice.

From the moment we sat down, the staff were welcoming, attentive, and super patient — exactly what you hope for when dining with a big family. The dishes came out hot, flavourful, and beautifully portioned. Every plate tasted like real home-style comfort done right.

It’s not easy to please everyone in a multigenerational group, but Full Yuan nailed it. Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and service that made the whole celebration feel extra special.

Highly recommend this spot for family gatherings and special occasions! Will definitely be back. 💯✨“

“What really sets Avenue Seafood apart though is how friendly and helpful the staff are. They’re welcoming, patient, and genuinely passionate about seafood. They answered all my questions and even gave me tips on how to prepare what I bought.

If you care about quality, cleanliness, and great service, this is the seafood market to go to!“

“Jonny the waiter was not only attentive, but also so catering to the needs of our group. He made sure our drinks were always topped up during the live band also while caring for a full out door patio. Matty in the back who carried out my steak did an incredible job not only was it cooked to satisfactory but it was above and beyond what my expectations were I had the best experience I could have asked for and would recommend to anyone i possibly could.

Parking: Tons of parking“

“Great food! Good service also!“

“Very good dim sum loved their deep fried taro dumpling , and the deep fried meat dumplings, loved their durian pastry , loved their deep fried squid , loved their curry squid , loved their sweet red bean bun , liked their turnip cake !!!!!!“

“We recently visited The Olde Yorke and had a solid, classic fish and chips experience. The space has a cozy, traditional pub feel with a straightforward, no-frills atmosphere and very generous portions.

The fish and chips are clearly the highlight. The batter was golden and crisp, and the portion size is substantial. We chose the halibut, which is naturally more dense, so if you prefer a lighter, flakier texture, the cod would likely be the better option.

We also tried the clam chowder, which leaned slightly too fishy for our preference. The coleslaw was decent, but fairly simple and could have used a bit more flavour to stand out.

While not everything fully impressed, the overall meal still delivers on a traditional, comforting fish and chips experience.

Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming throughout.

Overall, it’s a reliable spot for classic fish and chips, especially if you’re looking for generous portions and a traditional approach.“

“I've been to Yu Seafood Yorkdale several times. An upscaled restaurant near all the high-end retailers. I bought my nephew here during his business trip and everything is good, and the bill was paid without going through the details. Not until I got home and found out one of the dishes was missed out from the dinner set for six. I called the restaurant the next day and the general manager Neilson responded promptly. It could be a human error and promised to compensate on my next visit. Having said that Yu is a great place to enjoy dinner or lunch despite of the mistake they have made on my last visit.“

“Da las cualidades que se necesitan. Bueno en todos los aspectos. Excelente atención al cliente. Comida preparada al instante. Date la oportunidad de conocer este bello lugar, te hacen sentir como en casa.“

“Very good food. And great service“

“The staff was lovely, the food was good!! Would def eat her again!“

“From the moment we first walked in, we felt truly welcomed. The staff treat you as if you are friends visiting their home — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The food is always delicious: you can rely on the classics but also discover new dishes every time. We first came here right after arriving in Toronto, and it gave us the rare feeling of being at home in such a big city. Since then, we return several times a month, and every visit has been a positive experience. The atmosphere is cozy, the service outstanding, and the hospitality remarkable. It honestly feels like visiting friends, not just going to a restaurant. A place we highly recommend — definitely worth a visit when in Toronto!“

“Nice environment, good quality food and services. Reasonable price.“

“One of the cleanest washrooms I’ve ever seen in a restaurant, which immediately stood out. The milky broths are rich, fragrant, and very comforting. I especially loved the coconut milk broth. The desserts were also great, and it was a nice surprise to see matcha ice cream on tap. They’ve now switched to an all-you-can-eat format instead of ordering items separately like before, which makes the experience even better. Overall, great food, great value, and a very enjoyable meal with lots of options“

“Gabbys Danforth.... Rude staff and an even more rude owner... don't bother complaining about anything because you're just going to get cussed at... absolutely appalling behavior... the usual crowd are loud obnoxious and seriously over their limits. I've witnessed tables and chairs falling all over the place on many occasions because people are way too intoxicated to think. The owner acts like he's untouchable and says things like " you're in a bar what do you expect " . I expect to be treated as a paying customer. Never going there again. also... one of the servers is literally always drunk out of her mind... my very first visit she was crying about her ex... and almost every time I ordered wings SHE GOT MY ORDER WRONG....over and over again!! let's just say ive had many free wings and stuff from her as an apology... I gave them a chance. several actually. but after that conversation with the owner.... im done. DO NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!“

“This is the only location have free parking and very close to DVP highway! Very unique Louisiana Cajun seafood! This a biggest restaurant compare to the others in Ontario.“

“I had an absolutely amazing experience at Babushka! From the moment we arrived, I was impressed by how clean and beautifully designed the restaurant was. The outdoor seating area surrounded by flowers created a wonderful atmosphere. The best part was the food — every dish was presented beautifully and served individually to each guest. In today’s world, we don’t just look for quantity, but for quality, a personal touch, and excellent service, and Babushka delivered on all fronts. Our waiter, Dima, was incredibly friendly, polite, and professional. The owner, Pasha, was respectful, attentive, and added a touch of humor that made the experience even more enjoyable. He personally greeted everyone and made us feel special. The dancers performing on stage added so much energy and excitement to the evening. They truly elevated the atmosphere, making it feel like a real celebration. The washrooms were spotless and stocked with hand towels, which I really appreciated. The music was just right — lively but not too loud, with a great mix of different cultures and breaks so guests could talk or dance. If you’re looking for outstanding service, top-quality food, and a festive, unforgettable evening, this is the place. Highly recommend!“

“Great food & service.. & well located“

“We never have anything but amazing experiences at the Terra Restaurant. Our server Nino was amazing and made sure everything was perfect. See you soon!“

“The food is consistently delicious full of authentic flavour and generous portions. Everything was well seasoned and fresh. Manager Tee was very good, friendly, and made the experience even better with great service. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“A friend and I enjoyed lunch on Friday October 17. We had reserved and were seated at one of their window tables. Our server Quinn was friendly and efficient and was able to offer his opinion on main dishes we selected. The portions were more than generous and both of us were provided with take away containers. My friend has decided to book a family birthday here later this month. And I plan to return to Trattoria Di Parma early in November with friends who will be visiting from Calgary. Final comments: Great food, great service and very reasonable prices.“

“Nice spot, easy to access with lots of parking. Food was very good and mostly authentic with ample portion sizes. Service was very good and prices fair. It is one of the few local Greek places that can easily accommodate a large reservation or event. We have been multiple times, would recommend and go back.“

“Our go-to Filipino restaurant!💯“

“"This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! The food is exceptional—so much so that I returned just days after dining with my family to enjoy it all over again by myself. The seafood dishes are outstanding, and the pepper steak was simply phenomenal. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! If you’re looking for a place to blow your taste buds away, I highly recommend this spot!"

Kid-friendliness: Friendly staff!!“

“I think this Fish 'n Chip shop is great. The owners are pleasant. The place is clean and the customers all seem to be enjoying themselves and the meal.“
