1. Hanoi 3 Seasons
Yum yum yum!! So glad Hans and Neil T convinced me to come here! Not that it took much dragging since I was starving and all I'd eaten was one of Kat's lemon bars (which were good!).
The staff here is seriously nice. I think we got special service as…More »

Categories:
Vietnamese,

Neighbourhoods: Little Portugal, Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
I have never had anything bad at Foxley. I especially love the ceviches and am really glad they offer such a variety of them, as ceviches are hard to find in this fair city of ours. So thanks Foxley, for the ceviches last night. Yum.
Good wine list…More »
3. Masa Sushi Japanese Restaurant

Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I am actually surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet, since I have been going for years for the AYCE sushi lunch.
The All you can eat lunch is a good deal for 10.99 - there are lots of rolls and a few sushi options, plus some teriyaki, dumplings,…More »
4. Ginger
I can't add too much to the discussion - everyone agrees. They are super fast and the food is good.
The lunch specials are a great deal - big portions and delicious taste at reasonable prices.
It may seem a little overwhelming at lunchtime with the…More »
5. Hodo Kwaja
Toronto, ON M6G 1K9
(416) 538-1208
This was nothing like what I expected, but it was great! These little walnut shaped walnut cakes are really savoury and cute. I sampled all three flavors, but I think I prefer the red bean. It had the most interesting taste.
This place is relaxed and…More »
6. Sushi Inn
Toronto, ON M5R 1A6
(416) 923-9992
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Yorkville
Very affordable sushi in normally expensive Yorkville. The service is always good, in fact, the last time I went I had the friendliest server who loved trading stories about our pets. I recommend the sushi pizza especially.
7. Ichiban Sushi House
Toronto, ON M4T
(416) 922-7500
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Walking into Ichiban I noticed right away this is not your basic cheap and cheerful sushi lunch spot. The room is big, bright and airy, and today it was not crowded at all.
The service was warm, attentive and professional too. I was already…More »
8. Sushi Garden

Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Good service, convenient location, lots of choice on the menu, and fresh sushi.
One complaint is that most of the meals, including the lunches, do not automatically come with soup and salad. I think of that as the norm, and this as sort of miserly of…More »
9. Okonomi House Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4Y 2R4
(416) 925-6176
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I have never tried okonomi before today and now I am a devotee!
I went for lunch with a couple of friends today. Be forewarned, the lunch portions are HUGE. My friend and I shared the seafood deluxe okonomi and it was delicious and extremely filling.…More »
10. Korean Village Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6G 1K7
(416) 536-0290
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
Korean Village is Brian S' go-to restaurant in Korean Town, so I have been a few times. We went back last night after a concert on Bloor Street at 11PM and had another great experience.
The staff is always friendly, and last night we had a fabulous…More »
11. New Thai Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4T 1M7
(416) 975-0999
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
So I just found a pretty good Thai place near work. They have a steam table and do a small combo for $5.50 with one rice/pad thai/noodle and one meat entree. You can also get a large size for 8 or so bucks which is like 3 entrees. A lot of food!
Today…More »

Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Beautiful decor and ambience, good service, and very fresh food.
As it is off the Yonge Street strip, not a lot of people seem to know about this place, so we had the full attention of the server, who was very nice and quick. It also made the spot…More »

Tapas/Small Plates,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
OK, once you get around the fact that people are prancing around this place dressed in next to nothing, you will realize that the food here is quite good. But, god, the scene! I didn't think the place was too loud, at least, but I am a "fuddy duddy"…More »
14. Rol San Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 2E9
(416) 977-1128
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Thanks Neil T for the invite for dim sum today. Also thanks to Susan for arriving early and snagging a table, thereby allowing us to sidestep the very loong line!
Maybe I just missed the spectacle, but I prefer dim sum with the carts. No idea if it's…More »
15. Spring Rolls
Toronto, ON M4Y 2B2
(416) 972-6623
Categories:
Thai,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Went for lunch today. Service was below average, and the food was acceptable.
I think with Spring Rolls it's an expectation thing. Don't have any.
Just kidding! Just don't expect anything more than a chain restaurant for food or service, and then you…More »
16. Indochine Thai Vietnamese Restaurant - CLOSED
Indochine is a fine place for a quick Asian fix at lunch in the Bloor/Yonge neighborhood. They have a good selection of lunch specials, which include soup and a vermicelli/pad thai type of entree, usually with $1+ for a spring roll. I have always…More »
17. Sprout
Toronto, ON M4V 1K6

Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Soooo disappointed by today's lunch from Sprout! I used to come here often when I lived in the neighborhood, and now that I work up here, i was happy to visit Sprout. My all time fave was the rare beef pho, which I ordered today for take-out. Upon my…More »
18. Lee Chen Asian Diner
Toronto, ON M4W 1J5
(416) 901-8869
I was pleasantly surprised by the lunch here. This place is huge and so are the portions!
My friend commented that it was the "Asian Pickle Barrel" because the menu was so extensive! It's actually much better than that. I had a green chili shrimp and…More »
19. Ka Chi
Toronto, ON M6G 1K7
(416) 533-9306
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Seaton Village
Sort of industrial divey looking place, but it had a big crowd and no one else in Koreatown would serve us food at 10:30 on a Saturday night.*
I would agree that this place isn't fantastic, but it's good for the price. The restaurants which rejected…More »
20. Sky Dragon Chinese Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 3A5
(416) 408-4999
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
This place is pretty cheap, and conveniently located on the corner of Dundas and Spadina. I have been a few times, but I don't know that I'd return.
The food didn't taste particularly fresh and it wasn't even served warm enough for my liking.
The decor…More »
21. Mr Thai
Blah. I had the same exact meal as TonyF mentioned in his review, the spicy thai chicken lunch special, and was thoroughly bored by it. You call that spicy? I call it bland as hell. It was one of the most disappointing lunches I can remember! I…More »

Thai
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Well it looks like this place has, deservedly, closed. Paper all over the windows and no one answering the phone. It was only a matter of time.
