“If you appreciate the absolute pinnacle of culinary precision, understated elegance & world-class hospitality, Alo is not merely a restaurant—it is a masterclass in modern fine dining. Discreetly tucked away on the top floor of a Victorian building at Spadina and Queen, stepping out of the elevator into this minimalist, polished space feels like entering a private, elevated sanctuary far above the noise of the city.

The atmosphere is effortlessly sophisticated: muted tones, warm ambient lighting & a seamlessly orchestrated front-of-house team that operates with quiet, surgical choreography. There is zero posturing here - just pure, unadulterated dedication to the craft.”

“A lovely modern bistro tucked away in Kensington Market and a great spot for a date night. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service was attentive throughout the meal.

We enjoyed the food. The mackerel crudo was clean, refreshing and nicely prepared. The chicken liver ravioli did not disappoint, especially when paired with the bread we ordered. We also shared the steak and had a strawberry dessert at the end.

Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and since they change the menu regularly, we would definitely come back to try more dishes in the future.”

“Absolutely delicious! very tasty and authentic Pakistani food with perfectly balanced spices. The flavors were rich without being overpowering, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. Definitely a great place to try if you’re craving authentic Pakistani food!”

“Dinner and service were both exceptional. We enjoyed the Silver Needle Noodles, Mapo Tofu, Short Rib, Steak, Cabbage the most out of all the dishes we ordered. Can skip the Orange Chicken in our opinions. Drinks were all delicious as well (range of cocktails, NA drinks and wine). Ordered the French Toast and Soft Serve for dessert. French toast has a heavy black sesame flavor. Soft serve flavor that day was sweet corn and I loved it. We had a large group (6) and made a reservation beforehand so highly recommend that. Thanks for a great dinner!”

“What an incredible dining experience. It felt like we were transported to Spain, where the service team gets to know you, the food is made from scratch with care and pride, and a meal is the primary activity of the day.

The food is perfection—elevated, fresh, seasonal, and authentic. If you have a special event and you are prepared to splurge, this is a meal experience you will remember!!!”

“Finally lively AYCE hotpot with wagyu.

Liuyishou is a popular outfit for traditional hotpot, and here in the GTA they have long moved to AYCE format. This Scarborough location has been around for a long time as seen by the dated interior. Nonetheless it’s still popular with some good promos to compete among the huge swath of Asian restaurants in this plaza. We chose an array of hotpot broths including the house special spicy, sukiyaki, pork bone broth & tomato soup.

We came here to celebrate a family occasion, and Liuyishou delivered with its good selection of broths, meats, seafood, and veggies. The $8 Wagyu add-on on weekend was a nice upgrade—thinly sliced, tender, and worth trying if you want something a bit more indulgent. The $3.99 all-you-can-drink station was a pleasant surprise too, making it easy to keep refilling without thinking twice. Service was quick even despite it being relatively busy and a bit loud during dinner peak.

Note the pricing per adult ($34.99 weekend dinner) excludes the soup base which is about $17 for a large shareable pot or $9 for an individual sized pot per guest so the bill can rack up. The wagyu and drinks are add-ons too. They do have a 2 adult + 1 kid family combo for $73.99 on weekends with one drink pitcher excluding soup base. Dessert is included such as taro soft serve, rice ball soup & cold jelly.

Skip it or hit it? Hit it for a casual, authentic hotpot experience.”

“This is by far one of our absolute favourite restaurants. The food is always delicious, full of flavours and cooked to perfection. Don’t skip dessert, you’ll regret it if you do!!
Not only is the atmosphere quaint & fun, the staff is incredibly kind. They really make it so you don’t want to leave!
We will continue to return and keep spreading the word of this stellar restaurant!”

“Great ambiance, delicious meat dishes and appetizer, great place for a quiet dinner date and even a business. The portions are small enough that you can focus on the food and the conversation.”

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

“It was my first time going to this restaurant and Leslie was kind enough to show me his recommendations for each category on the menu. He also explained the spice levels available. I ordered sauteed pork with bamboo shoots with regular spice and it was amazing. Spice level was tolerable. I was sweating but it wasn't bad that I couldn't taste the other flavours. Serving was more than enough for one person. I had to get the rest for take out.”

“Fast service, and great quality hot pot. They also have some good deals for late night eats. It is timed so keep that in mind if you are coming with multiple people, the time starts when one of the party is seated!”

“The food was great as usual and our waitress Nehir was very friendly and attentive.”
