Great food, service and the staff do what they can to make the space work physically. Due to the age of the building, the washroom is not wheelchair accessible. The owner has installed an automatic door opener, providing greater ease in entering and exiting the space.
Lucky enough to have moved into an area where this is my local, and I couldn't be happier. The staff is amazing, prices are reasonable for the area and size, and the vibe is always impeccable. Come out for karaoke, you'll have a great time!
It's your local pub but it serves Chinese food and has karaoke. Nuff said
I’m a person with a physical disability who uses a power wheelchair. The owner of the restaurant refused service. He’s also done this to other disabled people in the St. Lawrence market neighborhood in Toronto. I live streamed the experience over Facebook and a friend wrote. I've had a issue here b4.
He is so mean & ableistic!
That's against the law!
Shame he should be charged with discrimination!
Even has a access button on the door! Shame!
Sorry he's hurt you my dear Brother!
Everyone on your path loves you we can certainly see on this Live!
Big Hugs OO
I went here for a friend's birthday and it was nothing short of AMAZING! Jay and the staff really take care of the customers and treat them like gold. The Karaoke was great, our table got to do tons of songs, the atmosphere was unbeatable everyone was so friendly and having lots of fun. The food was also DELICIOUS we got tons of appetizers with our reservation, the Mozzarella sticks and the wontons were my personal favourites and the fried chicken was so good too! I was going to do my birthday somewhere else but now that I know this place exists I'll be booking my birthday here next month as well. Great for small or large groups, absolutely incredible experience and night out in Toronto! Thanks JAY! :)
Karaoke is always fun and the food is fantastic! Got Shanghai noodles this time, so tasty. Thank you so much!
I didn’t eat any food here so I cannot speak on the food. However, I had a great time. We randomly chose this place to find a couple of drinks without much expectation. The bar area was sort of crowded, but everyone was polite for the most part. Jay and the other kind lady (don’t know her name) did an amazing job running everything between Jay serving everyone & her getting everyone’s song requests in for karaoke. Very diverse group of people there which was cool. The drinks were not too expensive & Jay served the perfect amount. I decided to get up there & sing. It was a great time. Go see Jay & the DJ, they’re awesome.

We ordered the share option ($40) and wings! Main dish was ok but the wings were so dry! The lady was very friendly and it was quite a nice place to have dinner and have a glass of wine!

Servers are rude with colored people. Not going again.
My friends and I made a reservation a fun night out and unfortunately left feeling quite upset. Upon arriving we ordered some drinks and food for the table, which I will say they were brought fast and the food was good. However, in less than an hour of being there the owner was incredibly rude, essentially berating us to leave because we hadn’t
“ordered enough”. It wasn’t even 9pm and the place was half empty and yet he had come to us complaining that he was turning down large groups because we were “not making him money”. It feels as though the owner does not actually care about the satisfaction of his customers and only how much money he makes at the end of the night which I could understand, however maybe if we had stayed longer than an hour and weren’t told off, we would have spent more money. If you want an enjoyable night where you can have fun I highly recommend going somewhere else.

Really enjoyed the food here! Go get yourself a nice, cold, big glass of beer to go with the tasty meal as well! Thank you, Jay, for your service and the jokes :)

I've been here a few times and decided to celebrate my 28th birthday here and I'm so glad that I did! The crowd is always fun, the staff are nice and attentive, and where else can you eat wonton noodle soup, take a tequila shot, and scream some classic karaoke tunes all at the same time?
This is a hidden gem. I can't wait to come back! Shout out to Jay and the staff!!
