Cyndi "Ginger Ninja" H.'s Profile

Best Hole in the Wall

I'm not afraid of scary looking restaurants. Not to say that those that made the list are scary, but they could be. This list is for cheap deliciousness. Word to your mother.

I love this restaurant. Good value, great food, and clean-ish for a hole in the wall. The pan fried dumplings (crispy deliciousness) and the cutting noodles are my fav (I tend not to eat pasta b/c I think it's tasteless filler food, but here I love…More »

Love this place.

I'm all about excess when it comes to flavour, so the extra extra flavorful miso broth (get the strongest one) melts my heart. I could drink that stuff for days. The cheese ramen is hilarious-- there is SO much cheese, it's…More »

Ok.
So this little hole in the wall cafe rocks my socks. Almost all the food is baked and prepared by the owner, Vicky, a sassy Philippino lady who will steal your heart from day one. I freakin' love this woman!! Many times she'll spoil regulars…More »

EAT IF YOU DARE!

This place is no place to take mom (sketchsville) but insanely cheap and serves THE BEST BURGER I've ever eaten in my whole life. I don't know what's in that meat, but I swear it must be illegal cos' it's so good. It comes with home…More »

Huge sashimi pieces for cheap-- great value!

The sushi is huge too--- but have too much rice in them, in my opinion.

Go for the Sashimi and you will not be disappointed.

Before you die you must try this one item: the maple, walnut and brie crepe at Gypsy Rose. Honestly, one of the best things ever created, next to chocolate, Spanx and world peace.

Cozy hole in the wall on the quiet Kingsway strip. From the outside (and from how I remembered it as the Sun Fat Cafe) it was easy to assume that not much had changed. Boy was I wrong. The interior has been renovated and I can't believe it's the same…More »
