“Nilesh was so kind and nice. And always makes the experience fast and smooth but overall great. I love coming here whenever I shop because the people are so kind.”

“Great spot for a late night family dinner, tasty food and a cozy environment. We were served by Donna and she provided wonderful service, she was so sweet and attentive. Will definitely be back soon!”

“The staff were very friendly and patient with all 5 of us in our group. I loved that they had very tasty sugar free options so diabetics also had the same enjoyment as everyone else. Will be returning a lot!”

“I've found, thru experience, that a mobile order is like an instant 2nd line for ordering. Being after 11pm, the pickup was at the drive thru.
Being physically challenged, I sometimes sit on my walker and order thru the mobile app, especially when at Timmy's.”

“A classic French restaurant with a great atmosphere and complimentary cocktails that taste unique.”

“Great experience with fine french cuisine and especially warm staff,congratulations 👍”

“First class from beginning to end. We were lucky to reserve seats at the chef’s bar and see the detail and care that goes in to every dish. Great chat, buzzing atmosphere and fantastic food. A memorable evening ❤️”

“By far the best restaurant in Toronto so far. I came here for my birthday and the experience was transcendent. First, the service was top tier level, the waiter that took care of us was gentlemen with a great vibe. Best server I had in my life. They seated us according to our request (nice seating away from the entrance). They also printed a birthday card for me which was very considerate. They also called and emailed asking us very detailed oriented questions ahead of the dinner which was top notch. They also switched our utensils every meal which is a small detail yet powerful dinner experience detail. Sparkling water was also complimentary versus other restaurants. The pace of the food was perfect as well and they also gave me a small birthday cake!

Food was immaculate. An eye opening experience. I cannot even describe the food/art that I have eaten. Nothing disappointed me. They used the best of the best ingredients. Every dish was perfectly curated and every bite was orgasmic. If I was a multi millionaire, I would come here everyday. All the food was at the right temperature, nothing got stuck to our teeth, and I would say the egg & toast dish was one very memorable.

Now as for the atmosphere, the decor was elegant but the restaurant isn’t very big, thus the difficulty of getting a reservation. It was comfy and treated us extremely well.

Overall I recommend it for special occasions, not for a huge party but great for 4 people family or with your significant other. I will be coming back for sure one day.”

“Excellent food and service! Would come back.”

“It’s a great experience. I enjoyed the ambiance as well as the food and service at this restaurant. The staff（Sunny and Sammantha） are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. I love this place and will continue to visit.”

“What a fantastic restaurant. Atmosphere and service were both on point. Dishes & cutlery changed before every new dish, water always filled, and all the items were described in wonderful detail. They even gave us an extra shrimp for the shrimp cocktail! For the stripped bass dish, they also gave us 2 separate portions of fish, which I noticed wasn’t how they served the dish to other patrons. I’m not sure if this was because they noticed we were sharing all the dishes, but it’s a really nice touch that’s easy to miss if that was the case. This is how you make an extraordinary experience. Grey Gardens does it almost on the level of Alo.

The menu is small but all the dishes are very creative and offer good variety. It’s underrated but the bread here is delicious. The red tail grain they use to make their bread is really delicious and the bread comes out so soft in the center but crispy and chewy on the outside.

Another highlight was the maitake dish. The barely they use at the bottom resembles a chewier risotto and the mushroom itself comes out so smokey. Not sure if this was from the cooking or from the addition of the black garlic in the sauce.

Striped bass was also cooked exceptionally well. I’ve never had fish skin that wasn’t battered and fried come out so crispy like I had here before. I just wished there was more of it. The hand torn lamb noodle dish was also very flavourful and the lamb essentially fell apart within the dish.”

“Very spicy, I feel like I lost two pounds after eating it lol😆”

“I came here for the second time with my partner during the dinner rush. Completely blew our expectations away!

We remember our first time eating here, with the food being decent but nothing crazy and the service was okay. However upon our second time visiting, our server, Bill Xu, was not only kind but went above and beyond to show us genuine hospitality. He was extremely patient with any questions we had and checked in with us often.

The food was delicious with the marbled beef being my favorite item that night. There are a variety of items you can choose from with the selection being quite large. Both sweet and savoury items were quite tasty so you can't really go wrong.

Lastly, I take the cleanliness of washrooms very seriously. I have to say that I was very impressed upon walking into the washroom. Not only was the design of the washroom itself modern and elegant, but it was very apparent that the staff does check their washrooms. It was pretty clean and there were several free amenities offered (toothpicks, floss, mouthwash). Overall, I was speechless to discover a really good washroom experience in a city full of awful and disgusting washrooms.

While the bill can be expensive by the end, the service and quality of the food was top-notch. Overall, this was a great experience and we will definitely be coming again.”

“Ate fish sticks. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. The milk shakes are awesome especially the Rum chocolate milk shake. Staff is very courteous. Bartender was making some interesting cocktails. Will try next time.”

“We had a great experience! It was our first time eating here and Bhim and Prakash gave us excellent service. They were very friendly and helped us choose the food. Everything we tried was delicious. Excellent service and atmosphere — we will definitely come back!”

“I really liked these short ribs, kept ordering them over and over. I also like the atmosphere/environment and service/staff, and above all I liked that they offer the option for tables with individual pots instead of a shared pot, I think this place overall is the best hot pot place (I prefer it over bottom-sea-catch)”

“my fav place for vegan options that tastes our old this world!! I’ve heard great things about their Queens Street location and am ye to check it out

love the broccoli, dragon roll and their veggie burger”

“While everything here was fantastic, the food truly stole the show. The lamb ribs were absolutely mind-blowing—easily one of the best bites I've ever experienced.”

“Very goid service”

“What a tremendous experience that was. Eric, our server, was phenomenal. The chef himself approached our table multiple times to see how things were tasting. Would recommend this place to anyone!”

“Great atmosphere both ladies Mackenzie and Nadia were both awesome, friendly, loving caring were super happy . An amazing experience at this location.”

“The food at Yukashi made me happy and I give them an unqualified 5-star rating. Daisuke Izutsu, the chef at Yukashi Japanese Cuisine, is the master of combining simple flavours in harmony to make his cuisine truly memorable. Chef Izutsu's creations are masterpieces of Japanese kaiseki tradition - each course reflects seasonality, balance and detail. Every bite will make you feel like you have been spirited away to some beautiful, cultured place in Japan. Chef Izutsu's meals are exemplary of the meals I have had from all three Iron Chef Japanese (Rokusaburo Michiba, Koumei Nakamura and Masaharu Morimoto).

The seasonal 9-course meal is prepared for each person with the freshest, high quality, ingredients both from Japan and locally. The drink pairings are outstanding, especially the chef's own secret-recipe, homemade, fruit-infused sakes. The staff is small in number - but they are attentive, effective and efficient. As the chef prepared my food in front of me, I really enjoyed the brief moments of chatting with him.

I highly recommend you try Yukashi in more than one different season and see what flavor combinations you enjoy the best.”

“Ram the late night host is an actual legend!”

“Fabulous food, reasonably priced, fast and friendly service.🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭”

“The food was fresh, the side dishes was delicious, and the service was friendly and timely. I would recommend Liu Yishou ayce for anyone who loves authentic Chinese hotpot.”

“A Wonderful Birthday Experience at Bosporus Turkish Cuisine We had the pleasure of dining at Bosporus Turkish Cuisine last night to celebrate my birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy autumn charm that made the evening feel truly special. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing waitress, Eda, who made the night extraordinary. Her kindness, attentiveness, and warm personality created such a welcoming experience. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and even helped my husband organize a lovely surprise for me, which was the highlight of the evening! The food was absolutely exceptional—each dish was a delightful combination of authentic Turkish flavors and elegant presentation. From the rich appetizers to the decadent desserts, every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and passion. Thank you, Eda, and the entire team at Bosporus Turkish Cuisine, for making my birthday celebration so memorable. Your impeccable service, delicious food, and thoughtfulness will not be forgotten. We can’t wait to return and will certainly recommend your restaurant to all our friends and family. Sincerely, Sabina”

10/10 recommend. This is hands down our go-to spot for Sichuan food in the GTA. We’ve tried most of the dishes on the menu over time and loved every single one. Everything is super flavorful and satisfying. Just a heads-up—it’s not shy with the spice!”
