Poor experience. The food is just OK. We had the classic tasting menu - nothing special,lack salt and love. Chef looks completely out of desire to cook. One of them kept looking at the phone. We really don't recommend spending your money here.

Tasting menu was generous and delicious. Fantastic cocktail program as well, super balanced. Went with a group of 6 and the momentum was kept throughout the meal. Highly recommended!

They nailed the fusion concept as their food is creative and contains many interesting ingredients. I love the spicy ceviche. Chicken dish is a little bit irrelevant together; ribs are cooked well but seasoning can be improved slightly. Service and ambiance are great. Definitely worth a try.

EDITED - Oct 30, 2024 - in the spirit of full transparency, Rasa got back to me almost immediately, and were adamant that my partner and I come back for a meal on them. I didn’t expect that at all, at most I expected a discount or something, all I wanted was some acknowledgement. Such a class act, and I’m frankly thrilled, the food really is SO good!
Unfortunately, I had a negative experience at Rasa. The food was good, as it always is, but the service was very poor. I was sitting at the bar, and the wait staff kept bumping into my shoulders as they flew in and out of the kitchen. This was fine, albeit a bit annoying, but they should just reduce the number of seats at the bar by one to prevent this from happening (I was on the end). The worst part, however, was when the ceiling started leaking and water was streaming into my lap. They immediately moved us over one seat, but then a waitress came by to ask if we’d shift back because she had another party being seated. My waiter, who was the bartender and was right in front of us, made no effort to explain to the waitress why I couldn’t be moved. We just ended up leaving, and there was no gesture from them to apologize for the ceiling (at this point my lap was wet) - not even an apology on the way out! Really disappointing, I’ve come here a lot and will not be back.

This restaurant is definitely a must-try, especially if you’re seeking something casual yet packed with flavor. The menu offers a delightful blend of influences, and the spicy ceviche and chickpea salad are standout dishes that shouldn’t be missed. While the rest of the menu is decent, what truly sets this place apart is its inventive fusion of Arabic and Chinese spices with French-American cuisine. It’s a bold concept, and while they don’t always hit the mark, there are a few dishes where they’ve managed to reinvent the wheel with success.
It’s the perfect spot for a lunchtime celebration during work hours, ideal for sharing a flavorful meal with colleagues. I wouldn’t choose it for dinner, but for lunch, it’s an experience worth trying at least once.

We had the "Full Experience" tasting menu. All the dishes were great and good portions, too. Food was presented nicely and tasted pretty good. The appetizer/vegetarian items on the menu were better than I'd expected. Service was also great. Everyone we interacted with had a nice attitude and took care of anything we needed. Overall, it was a nice experience. I would go back.

I visited Rasa expecting mild food based on the staff’s assurances, but the dishes were far from mild. One of the dishes was overwhelmingly spicy. It was disappointing to not be able to finish the plate. a blonde waitress who initially served us at the beginning of the night specifically assured us the food would be mild, which was clearly misleading. Overall it was a great experience with a little bit of unexpected turn. Would still be back as it is a great spot!

5 out of 5 An experience! The kitchen: very fine! An incredibly diverse cuisine, star level, at a fair price. Doesn't give the same impression from the outside as it does on the inside. Ambience: full marks! Very pleasant audience. If it's offered, take one of the menus. Thanks to Matthew for the great company this evening. If it takes me from Germany to Toronto again, then it will definitely be here. As already said, the price is very good! The cuisine cannot be described, perhaps with “the best from all corners”, the chef knows his craft. Great selection of wine, beer and spirits. Although I quoted a high price, we were not economical with the food or drinks. If you go, you should take your time, it's too good for a short visit
