“Met all my expectations, great selection of delicious foods to choose from.”

Kid-friendliness: My child had fun cooking her dinner”

Vegetarian options: They have a variety for vegetarians as well”
“Went to the Duncan St location, There was quite a line but we all got seated very quickly. Had the pineapple shake and Pad Gra Prow. Very tasty. Would definitely go back.”

“Im not sure where to start on this review.
Well to say the least, it took me about 2 weeks to decide on a place to eat. My decision did not let me down. I chose this place because of the connection the Chef had to the food.
Ive traveled all around and have been to many fine restaurants and places to eat. To compare this restaurant to others, well you cannot.
If you have ever been to Montana or Wyoming, you know that you cannot describe the views. The art you get at Lucies, is comparable to the views you see. You cannot put it into words.
The service itself was as you would expect, amazing. The staff is knowledgeable about every dish that is presented to you.
What the chef, the staff, and the amazing mixologist does for you; is to say the least an art within itself.
Now I am not very good at taking pictures, but pictures would not do the dishes or drink justice anyway. For some reason google would not let me post pictures.”
“The food and service were fantastic. Our waiter, Bhav, did a great job and was super knowledgeable about all our food and wines. I also absolutely appreciate that they have a no tipping policy. It’s so refreshing, makes the experience much better and I admire Richmond Station for taking care of its employees. Made us want to come back for another visit”
Recommended Restaurants
“We went to Mirage restaurant with our friends and ordered the Fattoush salad, Beyti kebab, chicken pide, and tea with pistachio Baklava. All were fresh and delicious. Nice location, great atmosphere, amazing food, and exceptional customer service! Highly recommended!”
“La Vegas is the best vegan restaurant in Toronto!”
“I ordered the ube crepe cake for my dear friend's birthday and it was a success! The cake's originality was appreciated and so was the real ube featured in the cake as well as the fact that it was not too sweet. I appreciated the Nana's team checking on how the delivery went (all good!) - good customer service. Recommended!”
“The salads we had were good. Pinsa was delicious. The place is nice with a patio. We both realized after that we felt disappointed by the service. A couple employees/owner walked past us as we stood at the door. A minute or two later someone greeted us. Then after paying and tipping quite well the sever didn’t say thank you. Seems small stuff but it’s not inexpensive to go for dinner these days and the small stuff matters more…to us.”
“Buono is an unobtrusive presence on Bayview Avenue, but when you walk in you discover a beautiful and comfortable dining space and absolutely stellar food. The wise and kind servers are professional and deliver excellent service. The food is timely, gorgeously plated, and bursting with flavor. They can accommodate vegan and gluten free diets and other dietary sensitivities or allergies if needed. Grateful to have found this Leaside treasure!
Dietary restrictions: They have corn-based gluten-free pasta”
“The quality and flavour of sushi here is fantastic.
Compared to other Omakase restaurants around $100/pp range, Kaito is more delicious. The scallop, smoked salmon and lean tuna with lime zest were standouts on the menu today (some of which were in my mouth before my camera was out)
This is an intimate and friendly experience that has a more casual atmosphere than other comparable Omakase restaurants. The space is larger than necessary and could benefit from some improvements to decor and lighting to create a better ambiance, however this is a small tradeoff for some really delicious sushi!
Note that it's very important to be at your reservation on time. I see some one star reviews from people who are upset that the restaurant couldn't accommodate them after they arrive 20 minutes late. You have to understand that service has a certain flow and the sushi is crafted fresh by the chef to be eaten right away.
Overall, this is a great place that I would happily recommend and intend on returning to!”
“Delicious food and friendly service will definitely be back!”
“Great place, good food great service! Recommend for big and small group lunch or dinner!”
“Delicious food, super friendly staff, child friendly, great entertainment and heated patio.”
“Excellent experience! We were just coming to Gerrard to walk and came across this new place. Had Kashmiri and cardamom tea which were both the best we’ve had recently. We also had the hariyali chicken tikka and Dahi Puri-both very flavourful and we will be back with family and friends!”

Kid-friendliness: My child had fun cooking her dinner”
“This has been a go to special occasion meal for me for years. I can’t say I’ve ever had one disappointing dish. Everything sings with flavour - bright acidity, rich fat, balanced sweetness. Just A+ to the kitchen! This time we enjoyed oysters, a crudo I can’t recall the name of, beef tartare, and the chicken. The raw dishes here are some of my favourites and I have to say the tartare was my favourite I’ve ever had. Not the typical flavour profile instead a mix of acidic dressing and possibly beef fat mayo? Soooo good. The chicken is not something I’d typically order but it was recommended on their Insta and did not disappoint. Perfectly tender, shatteringly crispy skin, umami sauce, and the best sweet creamed corn I’ve ever had. Shout of to the gai lan as well. So good.
The service is always a big part of the experience here. We felt so looked after and I was even surprised with a scoop of apple sorbet with a candle since we didn’t order dessert (it was my bday). Just above and beyond and left feeling like I was walking on a cloud. 😌”
“This is our first time ever for a Chinese hot pot and we’re very happy and satisfied with the food and service. The server who was attending us was super patient as e knew nothing about the cuisine 🫣 we’ll visit again for sure
Vegetarian options: They have a variety for vegetarians as well”
“The food and service were fantastic. Our waiter, Bhav, did a great job and was super knowledgeable about all our food and wines. I also absolutely appreciate that they have a no tipping policy. It’s so refreshing, makes the experience much better and I admire Richmond Station for taking care of its employees. Made us want to come back for another visit”
“The food was good. The beef tartar was amazing, as expected. We love how they roasted the bread with butter; it's crispy and flavourful. The sausage was different than we expected but in a good way. I like how they did the potato; it was soft but crunchy. The portion was okay. Two main dishes were good enough for the two of us for brunch.
The restaurant is small, so you might expect to wait 15-45 minutes.
The only minus point is that our server didn’t seem very friendly and attentive. He made us feel like we did something wrong when we asked for recommendations.”
“I took my partner to this place for our four year anniversary. And I could not have made a better choice for that.
Both of us normally don’t like to eat steak and mashed potatoes, but this place genuinely serves the most amazing food despite of being steak and mashed potatoes and for the price point that you pay compared to the quality of the food, it is well beyond worth it
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, despite obviously being our first time there they even gave us a small little drink, complementary because it was our anniversary. Definitely looking forward to bringing some friends here.
we also got a corndog appetizer because we wanted an appetizer and it was good. It’s hard to write a review on a place that’s good because of how good it is in fact if you’re still reading this review, I feel like at this point you’re just confirming whether or not it’s good.
Trust me, it’s good just go here. Ask questions later.
Vegetarian options: The restaurant does offer some minor vegetarian options, but it markets itself as a French diner and French cuisine does prefer its focus on meat.
I’d recommend you just look at the menu before you make your reservation to make sure that this would be a good choice for you
Dietary restrictions: The staff are very respectable in regards to dietary restrictions. You were given multiple opportunities to present any restrictions before the reservation and even before you start ordering anything.
Parking: The restaurant is located on Queen Street. Just passed Trinity Bellwoods Park. given the age of the neighbourhood and obviously the age of the building there isn’t any built-in parking.
But if you’re going to a place like this, you’re probably not bothered about that and if you are go somewhere else.
Kid-friendliness: given that this place operates as a bar as well as a restaurant, it might not be a kid friendly place and most of the diners and patrons are probably looking for a more adult night out.
Wheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately, given that this restaurant is located in an older building. There’s only so much that the owners can do to build out and make this place accessible and there’s only so much space that they have access to do that with.
If you’re in a wheelchair in here, it will probably be a little bit cramped. My personal suggestion is to call them beforehand and inquire about any other wheelchair accessible options for yourself.”
“The food is amazing, but the bathroom is not accessible.
Vegetarian options: all vegan
Wheelchair accessibility: The bathroom is not accessible”
“Most creative, flavourful dining experience in TO this year...topped off with great service”

“My girlfriend and I came here for a date night. We were not disappointed. The waitress was friendly and explained the menu to us. We ordered a few different plates to try and were amazed by how delicious the food was.
We would come here again. Food and service did not disappoint.”
“Excellent experience! We were just coming to Gerrard to walk and came across this new place. Had Kashmiri and cardamom tea which were both the best we’ve had recently. We also had the hariyali chicken tikka and Dahi Puri-both very flavourful and we will be back with family and friends!”
“We live in New Jersey but we have been to Jamaica 30 times or more. I love Jamaican food. This food was as good or better than any food I’ve eaten in Jamaica. There were 8 of us. Between us we had oxtail red bean soup, curry goat, jerk chicken, fried okra, fried plantains, jerk fries with aioli sauce, chicken curry, slow baked jerk wings and 4 of the deserts. Everything was seasoned well. The spice levels were perfect. Savory and delicious. The reception and service were welcoming and enthusiastic. The ambiance felt truly Jamaican. Every aspect of our dining experience was wonderful. Go, you won’t be disappointed.”
“What an unreal experience at a Michelin star restaurant – truly culinary art at its finest. This was everything fine dining should be about: impeccable service, an elegant atmosphere, and unforgettable food. Our waiter, Naz, was outstanding and made my wife’s birthday feel extra special. The best part? They catered perfectly to our halal dietary preferences, which was a huge plus. The menu was beautifully curated, and my personal favorites were the wagyu beef and the egg dish. And I can’t forget to mention the bread – so fresh, paired with their incredible butter and olive oil. Just an amazing night all around. Thanks for making the bday experience unforgettable!”
“Thank you guys for a amazing meal! ❤️❤️ we will be back again shortly for sure . Cheers !”

“Hey Jashan this side . I absolutely loved your food . I have tried burritos and they were very good. The flavors were fresh, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. The burrito was packed just right, with a generous amount of filling that made each bite satisfying. Whether you like classic flavors or something with a bit of spice, Grillies really hits the mark. Thank you for extra efforts you put .”
“I've been here twice now, and love it! Tried the chicken & waffle Benedict and a milkshake the first time, and both were great. Bonus points for having a striped straw for the milkshake! This time, me and a relative had the cornflake fried chicken sandwich with fries and it was delicious, and super crunchy. Our server was also really nice, she helped me last time too.
Will definitely return.”
“I ordered here from booster juice and got amazing service, Sarth was my server and was very informal about the drinks and made my drink amazing, I appreciate his help and kindness a lot and also Loveleen was also very kind while my overstay here due to my delayed flight, the service was awesome - if I could rate 10 stars I would, thank you Sarth and Loveleen!”
“Posting this review a bit late. I visited on the night of October 24th, and both the service and food were excellent. The staff member who served me, Sahil (if I’m not mistaken), was very attentive. He treated me kindly and customized my sandwich exactly to my preferences.”
“@thairoomcollege offers wide variety of choices when it comes to your Thai and Malaysian dishes. They serve your food not only fresh and delicious, but also aesthetically pleasing. The people are friendly and will guide you through their menu. Go check them out!”
“Visited this location twice within the last 4 days. The location is perfect, and the place itself has a nice, old timey, yet slightly modern aesthetic to it. Service is lovely. The star to this place, the reason I am submitting a rating is the food. The pricing is average, nothing special; however, the portions are generous, and the quality, comfort, and warmth of the food is everything you need. Since I’ve been, I’ve craved it every day. It’s extremely comforting, and the food spreads the smile from your stomach into your heart. If you want a delicious, big bowl of Pho, this is your place. I highly recommend, especially on cold days.”

“I love, LOVE this restaurant! I rarely post reviews as I am often disappointed but this is truly a gem! We've had food from Tiflisi 4 times now and are under their spell. I had never had Georgian food before and boy have I been missing out! It tastes like nothing I've had before. And the service is really friendly. We're so lucky to have them in the hood. I hope they'll be around for a long while!”
“Great pasta we got takeout but you can choose to wait for a table but we were able to walk home and enjoy the pasta at home. Burrata was exceptional and the pasta was incredible seasoned well and fresh pasta cooked to perfection. Definitely worth the lineup and it was quick service once we ordered. Definitely check their instagram for the daily menu and keep up to date on everything for this place!”

“We visited Aanch Restaurant for a post-Diwali dinner, and it was a fantastic experience!
I ordered:
- Rose Lassi - Super thick and delicious; just the right balance of sweetness. (11/10)
- Paan Licious Drink - Beautifully presented and perfectly strong. (10/10)
- Basil Paneer Tikka - The paneer was definitely made in-house, incredibly soft and marinated to perfection before being cooked in the tandoor. (11/10)
- Papad Chaat - A unique twist on a classic. (7/10)
- Badal Jaam Bruschetta - Very different and flavorful. (7/10)
- Kadhai Paneer with Chilli Naan - The highlight of the night! We requested an 8/10 spice level, and they delivered INDIA-LEVEL spice. Truly authentic and delicious! (100/10)
The authentic North Indian flavors were spot on, with spices that transported us back to India, not just the usual chilli flakes. Our non-vegetarian friends were seriously jealous; they admitted the veg food was outstanding—rare to find such quality here in Toronto.
The staff was attentive and welcoming, and they even surprised us with complimentary mango kulfi for Diwali! We also took biryani to-go, can’t wait to try it.
Highly recommend this place for its authentic North Indian flavors, attentive service, and memorable food experience. Will definitely be back!”
“Great dinner at Mandarin Yonge to celebrate Mid Autumn Festival. This visit we tried a few new items fro the Small Eats. The teriyaki salmon, teriyaki meatballs and tofu were delicious. Salmon was cooked to perfection. As always Paddy and our server Amy made our evening extra special. Looking forward to our next visit.”
“I visited this popular Tibetan restaurant on a Saturday night. They only accept walk-ins, no reservations. We had to wait for 1 hour so be aware of the long wait times.
We ordered:
1. Yellow Laphing Dry with => Very unique and tasty dish. Crunch of WaiWai was also nice.
2. Veg => Hands down. One of the best Chowmein ever. Select mild spicy level. Their medium spicy level is too much.
3. Veg Sizzler with Szechuan sauce: 3/5 => Too oily. The Momos were bland in itself. With noodles, it was good.
4. Chilli Garlic => Very good. Large portions too.
5. Steamed Veg Momos with Manchurian sauce: 4/5 => Very good.
6. Family size platter: 4/5 => Good. Got half steamed and got pan fried. They were quite hot from inside. Pan fried were tastier.
All the items were so tasty. Except the sizzler, I totally loved all the items. I didn’t get any 5% discount to write this review. We asked them for mild spicy level which we found perfect for our tastebuds. Staff is nice and humble. The service could be faster. They accept credit card as well. I would recommend this Tibetan restaurant to everyone.”
“Just had to share - my little boy and I had an amazing lunch together while waiting for my husband to finish the waterfront marathon! It was bustling with runners and their families, but the staff did a fantastic job keeping everything organized and cheerful.
I decided to try the original Donkatsu, and wow, it was one of the best I've ever had outside of Japan and Korea! The portions were quite generous, and the flavor was just heavenly. My 4-year-old enjoyed it so much that he gobbled up almost half of my dish!
To top it off, the staff was incredibly sweet to my little guy. If you love Donkatsu and have kids, you absolutely have to check this place out. Highly recommend!
Kid-friendliness: They were so friendly with my little one, always smiling at him, and they even treated him to a complimentary drink!”
“We got the sukiyaki and spicy beef oil soup bases, both were delicious! The meats were very fresh and there was a wide selection of vegetables and tofu products (the frozen tofu was very tasty). Desserts were also quite good ?.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I like A&W's fresh and delicious burgers. The food is provided speedily and of excellent quality here. it’s a wonderful experience with them overall.
Vegetarian options: This is the only food court where my friend and I can place orders together because she is a vegetarian. She adores the piri piri burger.”
“I was greeted as soon as I arrived at the front desk. Dilip was a great server who took my order as soon as I was ready and brought out the food in a very short time. I appreciate the quick and speedy service and overall it was a wonderful experience. Thank you!”
“Decided to try a new sushi place on UberEats and extremely glad we gave Gurume a try. Sashimi was fresh, not fish at all and all the toppings that came with it paired really nicely. Sushi was good, rice was perfectly spider roll was delicious.
What we got:
Spider roll
Sashimi and sushi for 2 (comes with 2x soup and salad)”
“Beginning to end, it was a fantastic experience. The plating was an art form of its own. The wine pairing shepherded by Christopher Sealy, was an absolute journey. What he presented was akin to a thesis. Utterly (and financially) indulgent. (10.19.24)”
“Second time there to having dinner with my husband by Dior’s retreat. Very thankful and grateful”

“We had a wonderful experience here. We were the only seating that day, so we were able to enjoy an exclusive experience. The food was wonderful, service was excellent..after the meal we were able to have a great conversation with chef izutsu about Japanese cuisine in Toronto and Japan. Very fortunate to have had such an intimate dining experience.”
“Chotto Matte is a must try. The food was absolutely amazing. The Amazonian salmon is a culinary masterpiece, the wagyu beef gyoza magnificent, the tempura shrimp were amazing with the sauce provided, while the spicy chicken karaage wasn’t great flavor wise the texture was a bit off putting it was perfectly crunchy on the outside but a bit slimy on the inside, the pineapple pomegranate duck breast was delicious - extremely flavorful, though we were not a fan of the pork and shrimp gyoza they eagerly replaced them with another wagyu beef gyoza. The service is outstanding. The wait staff and busser were extremely attentive, our water glasses didn’t stay empty long the moment they notices they refilled without prompting and finished plates were removed from the table.”
“We had an amazing experience at Taline. We originally wanted to order two main dishes, but the maître d told us to go with one main dish and add a few appetizers, which was a great idea. All the dishes were flavourful and perfectly cooked. The service was also great.”
“I recently visited Shunoko and it was such a lovely experience. The service was exceptional and the food was fresh and delicious. It's always a pleasure to go there, and it never fails to put me in a happy mood. I have been coming to this restaurant since they started at St. Clair Ave. and now relocated to Yonge St.”
“I've been here a few times for omakase and enjoyed it each time. I've had the older menu (2023) and the newer menu (2024). I recommend being seat by the bar for the full omakase experience. For those of you who are new to omakase let me assure you that this menu will definitely satisfy you and you will be full! I like pairing everything with their tea during the winter and during the summer cold sake. The chef will go through the experience like a story and you are meant to enjoy each piece, if you're looking to chow down, omakase is not the place for that. I love the different uni add-on as well. The location is a bit hidden and can be easily missed the first time you come, parking is also really difficult sometimes I recommend allotting some time for this.”
“Great food, friendly and attentive service, and a more refined setting compared to most Indian restaurants downtown. Our server was incredibly engaged, taking us through the menu and offering thoughtful recommendations.
We ordered from the à la carte menu and particularly enjoyed the lahsuni palak paneer; the homemade cheese in the nutty sauce was delicious. The keema pao was flavourful, though the buns could have been softer and fresher, and the laal goscht was tasty, though the oxtail could have used a bit more meat.
While the food was delicious overall, we found the drinks (the entire beverage menu) and sides (naan and rice) to be overpriced, which inflated the overall bill. That aside, it’s a great spot for a special meal, especially if you’re looking for unique dishes and a more upscale experience.”

Cheap Eats
“Honestly, it is the best Shawarma I've had since I came to Canada. My friends and I should have tried Big Pita earlier than we did. The quality of the Chicken and Beef is supreme. Prices are reasonable, and the portions will quickly satisfy your appetite. I highly recommend Big Pita.”
“The food was good. The beef tartar was amazing, as expected. We love how they roasted the bread with butter; it's crispy and flavourful. The sausage was different than we expected but in a good way.

“I was there earlier with a friend, and we had a wonderful time! We were served by Noman and Rithima (apologies if I misspelled your names!) and both were very welcoming. The food was delicious, good size portion, and overall a lovely visit. Thanks so much!”
“We ordered the vegetarian combo, and it was absolutely delicious! The three-course meal was authentic and full of rich Indian flavors. On top of that, Harshika was incredibly friendly and made our dining experience even better. Highly recommend!”
“Sure! Here’s a shorter version:
Sake Sushi exceeded my expectations! The fish was incredibly fresh, with generous portions and beautiful presentation, even for takeout. The salmon sashimi was a standout—so tender and flavorful. Ordering was smooth, and the 10% cash discount was a nice touch. Highly recommend for top quality.”
“The dining experience at Liu Gong Grilled Fish was great! The skin of the grilled fish is crispy, the meat is tender, the soup base is rich and spicy, and the vegetables and mushrooms that are paired with it are also very fresh. Every bite is full of rich flavor. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing among many people. Highly recommended and will definitely come back!”

“ths place serves up a unique blend of Canadian game meats and seasonal ingredients in a rustic, cozy setting. A must-visit for adventurous foodies and a memorable dining experience.”

“I love this place. They have amazing vegan options but also options for meat eaters as well. Good wine selection and cocktails. Best vegan caesar salad in the city and the Hakka tofu is lovely as well.”

“Still my favourite neighbourhood sushi resto. Small, sweet and very well done.”
“Came in to sit at the bar. My server/bartender Miho was very attentive and took care of all my needs.
I had the chef selection 12pc, which included aburi and nigiri. It was all made fresh and tasted amazing. If I could give this place 6 stars I would. Definitely try it out.”

If you’re in a wheelchair in here, it will probably be a little bit cramped. My personal suggestion is to call them beforehand and inquire about any other wheelchair accessible options for yourself.”
“Food and ambience was top notch - was better than the downtown the location.
Happy hour every day from 5-6:30pm
Music can be a bit loud depending where you are sitting.”
“I recently visited Eat BKK Leslieville and tried their Pad Prik Pow Talay. This dish was an absolute delight! The seafood was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked, with a wonderful mix of shrimp, squid, and mussels. The flavors were bold and well-balanced, with just the right amount of heat from the chili paste, complemented by the sweetness and smokiness that are characteristic of this Thai dish.”
“The environment is good, the food is good, and the service is fast and nice”
“Such a cute Korean bbq spot! From the moment I walked in, service was on top of it with wait times and moving ready customers into a seat. Waiters do a great job explaining the process for new customers to the experience. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Diner Seoul is a perfect place for those who enjoy Korean cuisine, but would like to try another take at it. You can tell that the chef tries different ideas and creates their version of the familiar dishes, and I think that deserves many stars for a city like Toronto where there aren't too many innovators. I'm hoping that they have interesting dishes for different seasons, for I'd like to see what ideas that the chef has.
The restaurant itself is a cute, small and cozy space with about 24 seats available. I visited with about 16 people and had a great time ?
I highly recommend this place for dates, the atmosphere is perfect for couples who would like to dine with a comforting vibe, interesting yet not-so-strange dishes and kind services.
Looking forward to visiting you again!”
“A great place for a Sunday brunch, food is delicious, staff so nice”
“We had fabulous service. Our waiter Tim was fantastic. Very attentive and wonderful personality Would highly recommend going there if you are in Toronto”
“We are Katsu fanatics and I have to say that the fact that they make their own breadcrumbs means that the katsu is DELICIOUS”
“The food at Christina's is both delicious and appetizingly presented and the waiter, Tommy, was attentive, capable of making menu alterations to cater to allergies, and has a wonderful sense of humour as he interacts with his patrons. We would gladly revisit this treasure on the Danforth for special occasions as well as for on-the-spur-of-the-moment as was the case today. Compliments galore!”
“Chotto Matte is a must try. The food was absolutely amazing. The Amazonian salmon is a culinary masterpiece, the wagyu beef gyoza magnificent, the tempura shrimp were amazing with the sauce provided, while the spicy chicken karaage wasn’t great flavor wise the texture was a bit off putting it was perfectly crunchy on the outside but a bit slimy on the inside, the pineapple pomegranate duck breast was delicious - extremely flavorful, though we were not a fan of the pork and shrimp gyoza they eagerly replaced them with another wagyu beef gyoza. The service is outstanding. The wait staff and busser were extremely attentive, our water glasses didn’t stay empty long the moment they notices they refilled without prompting and finished plates were removed from the table.”
“What a wonderful experience. From the care the staff took to seat our party of 8, including 2 kids, to the order taking, where the hostess remembered each of our orders perfectly, to the quick delivery, to the out of this world delicious food. Added 5 stars to our trip to Toronto”
“I have been coming to scaddabush a lot lately because their avocado bruschetta bread is amazing. although my advice is don’t come around 10pm. i get its the end of the night and everyone that works wants to go home.. but please keep in mind people are paying for your food and service. my pasta noodles were chewy and undercooked causing me to not eat my meal. after a good $100 spent, i wasn’t satisfied.
as well as my avocado bruschetta had huge chunks of garlic on it, which i never got before.
other than that, food is good. just go earlier in the day.”
“I went on a Tuesday for See you next Tuesday musical theatre open mic with live singers performing with a pianist and it was really fun and some great singers. The host Heidi is super entertaining and keeps the energy up and the show moving along so well. Great evening
Hope it goes on for a long time and even more people come out to enjoy this unique and entertaining night out
You never know who’s going to be in the crowd and get up and perform!
❤️”
“The staff was amazing, Serena especially! Super connected & engaged - you can feel that this is a special place to be.”
“The food, service and atmosphere were great! We ordered house special pho - the beef was so tender. Also highly recommend their coconut coffee! Will definitely go back and try something else!”
“The interior design is done beautifully with lots of unique decors like posters, cherry blossoms, very modern yet also traditional, lots of greens as well to look at. The seating areas is clean and comfortable, and can accommodate many people. The food presentation is very pleasing to look at, and everything is provided for you immediately.
Their staff seems to be mostly Korean so if you can speak Korean you can. 서버는 한국어를 할 수 있습니다. Since they are Korean they are used to the Korean restaurant style so they may not come to your table too often but they are always looking at your tables, if you raise your hand they will come as soon as possible. (If its busy you can yell “jogiyo / 저기요”)
Overall this is a really nice restaurant to relax in and take in the atmosphere while enjoying some sushi.”
“Food was decent. First time there and staff was great at guys dong me to choose. Would definitely be back to try other dishes. Would have liked to see more no/less spice dishes. Maybe next time.”
“Everything!! The food and drinks were very good!! Overall the ambiance and atmosphere is a whole vibe all by itself!! Oh, and the DJ did his thang”
“the food was very good and the presentation was great. I really enjoyed the pineapple appetizer.”
“Accommodated allergies and dietary restrictions without compromising flavour. Really inventive and delicious menu -- every dish was a standout. One of the best meals I've had in Toronto in a long time.”
“We had a wonderful experience here. We were the only seating that day, so we were able to enjoy an exclusive experience. The food was wonderful, service was excellent..after the meal we were able to have a great conversation with chef izutsu about Japanese cuisine in Toronto and Japan. Very fortunate to have had such an intimate dining experience.”
“Great service, great food, great prices. They have an award for their food, and when you taste it for yourself, you know why! Love coming here!”
“The taste is very good and the portion is very large. I recommend the beef tendon pot, tomato fat beef, sour soup fat beef, Tian Boguang fried chicken, and I hope the brown sugar glutinous rice cake will return! ! ! !”
“Chill ambience, great meal and good service
Kid-friendliness: There's a kids menu if you request it. It's not listed on the printed menu. They permitted a stroller inside. Not sure if high chairs for kids are available. I didn't see any.”
“OMGOODNESS, what a hidden gem! Thankful my Aunt knew it well. Huge portions, amazingly tasty and quick to the table, hot and fresh! Service was so friendly and accommodating. In town for an appointment but would definitely travel the hour to enjoy again!”
“Nice food and place to chill while drinking and eating spicy food. Don't miss out on the shrimp fried rice with egg and crab paste and also the eggplant with garlic sauce! They go well together too!!”
“My girlfriend and I came here for a date night. We were not disappointed. The waitress was friendly and explained the menu to us. We ordered a few different plates to try and were amazed by how delicious the food was.
We would come here again. Food and service did not disappoint.”
“Everyone that works there is an absolute gem, and it’s always such a delight to walk into such a fun and welcoming environment! Also the food there is great! I’ve had almost everything on the menu and haven’t found one thing that I didn’t like! I would highly recommend Bar Poet, for a great date spot, place to hang out with your friends, or somewhere warm and inviting to come for a solo drink, or bit to eat!”
“We had an amazing experience at Taline. We originally wanted to order two main dishes, but the maître d told us to go with one main dish and add a few appetizers, which was a great idea. All the dishes were flavourful and perfectly cooked. The service was also great.”
“Ulca was great at customer service. He removed my responsibility of DIY. Great decision with having him stand at the bar for first-timers and/or didn’t make reservation.”
“If you’re looking for a very casual but delicious spot for sushi, this is a good one! Excellent vegetarian options, both for sushi and entrees. I got the teriyaki tofu bento box, and the inari sushi was absolutely scrumptious. The atmosphere and vibes aren’t anything special, but the waitstaff are kind, attentive, and the food came reasonably quickly. Overall… yum!”
“Brittany and Skye took excellent care of us. The cocktails were varied and delicious and the food was well prepared and presented beautifully. We had a ribeye, the lamb, and the cauliflower “steak”. Everyone was pleased. Highly recommended.”
“I can’t stop thinking about the flavors at this place—they’ve truly left a mark! The dishes are vibrant, fresh, and packed with that crave-worthy flavor that sticks with you long after you leave. The prices? Fantastic, making it a go-to for dine-in or takeout.
And I’ve got to shout out the cabbage chicken slaw with fish chips—it’s hands down the best thing I’ve eaten all year! Seriously, do yourself a favor and get it. This spot nails it on all fronts, from bold flavors to great prices. I’ll be back (probably way too often)!”
“Great experience at Amal, food and service was phenomenal. Can't say enough about our server Mohammad, he was so professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
Will definitely return.”
“We had an amazing dining experience at Kinton Ramen! The food was absolutely delicious, and we were particularly impressed with the Pork Shoyu and Pork Miso ramen bowls. The flavors were rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. We also loved the pork gyoza appetizer – it was crispy on the outside and full of flavor inside, making for a perfect start to our meal.
What made our visit even more special was the exceptional service. Aran, our server, was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful throughout the entire experience. His warm and friendly demeanor made us feel welcome and added to the overall enjoyment of our visit.
We would highly recommend Kinton Ramen to anyone looking for delicious ramen and outstanding service. We can’t wait to come back!”
“We looked forward to trying Mazadar, and while we opted for takeout, we were not disappointed! Extremely good! Also, while we didn’t eat in the restaurant it looked very nice when we came in to grab our order”

“Not the best fried chicken. Batter, chicken itself and seasoning they all were just okay. Still searching for the best fried chicken in Toronto but I don’t seem to find one yet.”
“Lively lil Thai spot. The offerings were authentic and different than you get at a regular Thai spot in the city which is exciting. Service was fast and friendly and everything tasted great. My friend who loves spicy food went for level 6 and was having a hard time so be warned!”
“Tuba is a wonderful chef whose delicious food brought back warm memories of my trip to Turkey decades ago. Tuba came to our house last year to teach a group of friends and I how to make an array of classic Turkish dishes. It was a fun night with shared stories of food and other adventures. I highly recommend asking her to cater for you, or dive right in and ask her to come and show you how it’s done!”
“We did the pizza/wine class at pie bar and had SO MUCH FUN!! The food was delicious, we learned how to make the dough from scratch! Tammy was also an absolute queen she took some fun photos for us so that the memories would last. 10/10 would do again and their valentines class would make such a cute date night!!”
“The portions are large, so you can enjoy and share them with friends. Even though it’s fried, I was able to eat quite a bit. It’s crispy, and the meat is juicy. The radish side dish is a great palate cleanser!
It would be nice if there were rice as a side dish. Haha.”

“I had an amazing experience at Popeyes! From the moment I walked in, the welcoming aroma of freshly cooked food set the tone. Their fried chicken is absolutely top-notch—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The spicy chicken is a game-changer for anyone who loves bold flavors, while the classic version is just as satisfying.”
“I know they open very early for the amazing breakfast menu, but my only disappointment is that the kitchen closes too soon at night. Maybe they should announce last call for food like they do for alcohol as 1030pm seems very early when people need to absorb the drinks while enjoying the amazing LIVE local talent on Saturday nights. 10/10 for Mark, Reno & the Chefs :)”
“I Visited Popeyes at 1224 king street one of the best location. customer service was good. staff was friendly. food was mouthwatering. store was clean. i order 12 pieces chicken combo family meal. They made fresh chicken. I Definity recommended to people must visit. i will visit this again.”
“Went for a wrestling event, I don’t think the server expected to accommodate that many people for a Saturday evening. The bartender did the best she could, scurrying to serve us rowdy fans while batting away impatient patrons asking for food ordered 20-30 prior, bless her kind heart. I wasn’t expecting much either, considering I ate prior to the event and just wanted a beer. The menu is…basic, in a word, but ended up ordering the 3 piece chicken strips with fries. Took 35 minutes, and almost gave up. But when the food came…my word was this good. Chicken fried crispiness but still tender to enjoy the natural juicy flavour with each bite. The fries were seasoned to compliment whatever they had going with the chicken, potato and deep fry ratio done where it still retains its toasty flavour 10 minutes all after the fact. 100% worth the wait. It’s been two weekends since this event and I’m still thinking about how good that order was. I dont know if they’ve taken down their Halloween decor yet but if you’re in the Bloor/Dundas West area and come across this bar, please give their food a try. And remember to tip the bartender, lord knows she deserves it :)”
“I used Elle Cuisine to cater snacks to a client presentation yesterday. I had specific needs that they be gluten free and vegan. Elle Cuisine did an amazing job and the clients were "blown away" to see that the snacks were customised to their values. The selection of options and presentation was great. It make a big impression and contributed to a successful meeting. I can't thank the team at Elle enough! I'll be sure to use Elle again and the client is planning a Grand Opening and will be looking to Elle for their catering needs as well.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Hadrian, the manager of OEB Breakfast Toronto, since the restaurant opened in March 2022. He’s an exceptionally down-to-earth and kind individual who goes above and beyond to ensure every customer has a great experience. Over the years, I’ve witnessed him handle even the most difficult situations with professionalism and grace. Hadrian’s photographic memory is remarkable—he never forgets a customer! Beyond the restaurant, his generosity shines in our Liberty Village community. Whenever there’s a community event, he supports us with gift cards, which is always appreciated. Under his leadership, the OEB Breakfast team is friendly, the service is impeccable, and the menu keeps getting better and more creative. The community loves what Hadrian and his team bring to Liberty Village, and we hope to continue supporting OEB Breakfast in return. Thank you, Hadrian, for everything you do!”
“On Saturday, November 23, 2024 me and my triplet sisters hosted our 50th Decades Themed Birthday Party!!! We had a blast! The Kingston House Restaurant is a hidden treasure. The event space downstairs was the perfect venue exactly what we were looking for. The owner Chris and his staff were very generous and accommodating which helped us create an unforgettable and memorable experience for us and our guests. The food and service were excellent and they let us decorate! If you are looking for a restaurant that feels like family with a warm and friendly atmosphere then this is the place for you!”

“I always love visiting Earls with friends—the food and drinks are amazing every time. I wanted to give a special shoutout to Zoe (I’m not sure if she is hostess or not). She was so kind, attentive, and genuinely made sure our evening was perfect. Thank you, Zoe, for being so nice. You truly went above and beyond!”
“Newest fave restaurant 🙂↕️ Vibes are great and food is even better. I suggest reserving a table right when they open as they get fully booked after 6-7pm. My favourite meat was def the parm steak although they were all very tasty. Sides were also amazing - highly recommend the gnocchi bolognese, spinach dip, mac n cheese, and roasted pineapple (fan favourite). The $50 for ladies on Thursday is also a steaaal! Would come again for sure 🫶🏼”
“I lived there for over a year. The best part of the building was the helpful and friendly concierge team. The biggest downfall was that myself and some friends rented the party room for our wonderful annual Christmas dinner where we all brought our own dish to share with friends. We had asked if it was okay to move the two big adjacent tables together so we could have a nice dinner set up. After getting the okay from the Bisha staff we moved the tables together lengthwise. At the time of moving the tables I noticed that some parts l, specifically the legs where loose. Anyways, at the end of the night we decided we would leave the room exactly the way we had found it by putting the tables back into their former positions. We moved the table maybe 2 inches when the one table just exploded. The force of the table hitting the ground caused a chain reaction and the other table also then shattered. It was TERRIBLE. There was glass everywhere, my friend suffered a huge cut and we had to seek medical attention. After the incident we had offered to clean up the mess and we’re then denied by management the opportunity to assist. We where assured it would be dealt with by the building as accidents do happen. Months later they send us a bill for over $20,000 dollars. They even tried to blame us for scrapes on walls which is unfair when the building staff failed to do a proper routine inspection with us prior to entry, a fault of their own. Absolutely pathetic and tragic. As I was moving out I noticed they where doing renovations to floors, walls etc. Its pretty sad they used us as a scapegoat to fix their dated deco and furniture. I can't believe the building management would actually pursue such a substantial and ridiculous amount of money when at the end of the day we were ensured it wouldn't be an issue and offered to clean and help even tho the table broke as a complete freak accident. Be careful with these people.”

“It’s ok, but I’ve had better gamjatang at another restaurant in downtown, I’m not going to mention their name. I would be happy to see this restaurant simmer its pork bone longer time to make it softer and more flavourful”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Dining Experience!
Had an incredible dinner here! The food was absolutely delicious, but what really made the experience outstanding was the service. Zane and Jett were fantastic—both were incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and offered great suggestions that did not disappoint. Their expert service and attention to detail made the evening feel extra special. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!”
