Bread came around with different selections…More »
2. Kings Kitchen Buffet
Don't be fooled by the advertisement and group deals that are available for this restaurant. One of the most disappointing buffet experience that I ever had. Came here with the family on a Saturday lunch.
There are so many levels that this buffet went…More »
3. Nak Won
Nak Won has always been a favourite of mine for the wide selection of Korean dishes that it offers. Ranging from weekday lunch specials (bento boxes), large hot pots, kbbq, sizzling hot plates, and of course, a variety of soup options. I have…More »
4. Fishermen Club House Restaurant
Located in a small plaza near Brimley and Steeles, this small restaurant has been in business for over 10 years. I can guarantee that you will probably be turned away if you walk in on a weekend, so make reservations in advance! The parking is almost…More »
5. Fruit Jungle
There are so many bubble tea shops around, it's a challenge to know how each shop differentiates itself from all the rest. But for certain, Fruit Jungle is one of the best bubble tea shops around. They also offer snacks, such as curry fish and beef…More »
6. Cafe Princess
Cafe Princess is a neat surprise, tucked away in the Yonge and Finch area, with a deceiving entrance. When you climb the stairs to the 2nd floor, you'd be pleasantly taken aback to find a elegantly decorated store with customers relaxing on large…More »
7. Star King Viet Thai Cuisine
Located at the corner of Warden & Steeles, this Viet/Thai restaurant is in place of what Kelsey's used to be. Most of the interior design remained the same, though there is a large crystal chandelier in the middle of the restaurant. The bar is no…More »
8. Tian Xin Place
Came here with several co-workers for lunch. Tucked away in a small plaza, along with a Korean mini-mart, Nino's Bakery, and a KBBQ. This restaurant specializes in Shanghai dishes and offers $6.99 lunch specials on Mon-Fri.
We ordered:
Steamed pork…More »

Post-dating back to Summerlicious '10, Joey Bravo is a small Italian restaurant situated in the Scarborough area. Walking into this restaurant gives off a rustic feeling, with a central fireplace in the middle of the restaurant, wooden chairs and…More »
11. Auberge Du Pommier
Post-dating back to Summerlicious '10, Auberge Du Pommier presents itself like a house on the French Countryside. Auberge is a lot more spacious than what it appears outside. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, with a combination of a rustic,…More »

15. Mei Nung Beef Noodle House
As you're walking along the chain of restaurants of First Markham Place, you come across a pungent aroma coming out from a particular restaurant, but don't let that "stink" divert your direction as Mei Nung houses one of the best Taiwanese Beef…More »
16. Amaya Express
Toronto, ON M5B 2L7
(416) 322-3270
With a strong aroma of Indian curry and spice coming from Amaya Express, I thought it would be a nice change for some cultural food, other than the usual Chinese, Thai, burgers, or sandwiches that I eat so often. Definitely a nice addition to the…More »
17. Paramount Fine Foods Inc.
Amidst a Sunday afternoon, I came here with some co-workers for a quick lunch. The menu is extensive, ranging from pita bread, pizza, shwarmas, skewers, and large dishes.
It was quite a little navigation for a new-comer to Paramount.
1) You seat…More »
18. Sing Sing BBQ House
Located among the string of BBQ shops on Broadview Ave, just south of Gerrard in East Chinatown. It was a random pick-and-choose, and I decided on this one.

22. Tim Hortons
My new obsession: Maple Cinnamon French Toast bagel. Out of this world. If you haven't tried it, make sure you do!
My usual go-to morning coffee station before I head to work. The service is always quick and friendly, moving the line efficiently,…More »
23. New York Cafe
Toronto, ON M4K 2P6
(416) 778-4444
Came here with a group of co-workers for lunch. Diner style restaurant on the Broadview & Danforth area. It has a patio, though being next to the Broadview subway station, the streetcars usually kill the mood.
My whole table ordered the fish & chips…More »

(905) 305-8877

Chinese

28. Scotiabank Nuit Blanche
It was curiosity that got me to participate in Nuit Blanche again after 2 years of hiatus.

Toronto, ON M5E 1T3
(416) 366-7800
