Was a recommended restaurant by a few and it didn't disappoint. Slightly empty on a Friday evening - guess long weekend vibes. The place has tons of seating, open kitchen vibe and good service. The fried rice was a 10/10 Shrimp toast was 9/10 The grandpas fun guo - 10/10 The beef carpaccio was 7/10 Decent portions except for the dimsums. Would go back for the fried chicken.

Restaurant smelled like they need to really scrub the floors. Food was mediocre and too oily.

Chef's rail added to entire somatic experience of Peking duck. Food lived up to the billing and then some. We especially loved the long beans. Great date night place.

Food was decent and good. The last two times I came it was better, though. This time the duck wasn't as flavorful—too oily and kind of bland compared to before. The fried rice was still amazing, love the texture. Service was good.

I have been coming to R&D for the past year now. Food is always consistently amazing and service is always flawless. Highly recommend.

I've been wanting to try this for the longest time but didn't have a chance. Now that we are here in Toronto visiting, absolutely a must try!!! Can you have a resto in Manitoba too 😜 Highly recommend 👍👍👍👍👍

There was no atmosphere and the food was just ok. Very disappointing. The cocktail I asked for had run out.

My friends and I were in town for a guys weekend, and we wanted a really nice dinner to kick it off. This place hit the spot in all aspects, the food was amazing, the service was even better, and the vibe was just what we were looking for. I will definitely be back, when visiting Toronto, and will recommend to anyone visiting the city.

Hosted dinner for a group of 10 work colleagues. Everyone was pleased with the offerings and quality of the food. The restaurant proposed a preset menu, which made the whole evening go super smoothly, and as a work dinner, I was happy with the pace. It had been a long day, so not waiting long for our meals was a really nice bonus.
R&D was such a great experience! The food was absolutely stunning – the spring roll filled with cheese was a standout and so delicious. The rice dishes were also really tasty. Overall, an awesome spot with creative flavors and a menu worth coming back for.

At my husband's request, we came back to try the Peking duck here. Every dish is always delicious. It's not a fancy restaurant, but the Peking duck here is the best!

We asked to be moved from chefs rail to a table and there was no problem with that at all. Food was fantastic. Wagyu steak was incredible. Will 100% be back next time to try the duck. Service was great too.

Great food and great service! Highly recommend the carpaccio. Would recommend hitting this place up even if you're just in town for a quick trip.

This was an A+ dinner, in all aspects. The food was delicious, creative, and portioned appropriately. Our favorite was the fried chicken, but there were no stumbles in any dish. Service was prompt, and the dishes came out immediately after they were plated, rather than held to bring an ensemble course. We will certainly happily return. - Steve
