On my second visit to Honey & Garlic I was very disappointed. I don't recommend this place at all to those who aren't of Chinese descent(I felt totally discriminated against) and I'll tell you why:

This restaurant thinks it's quite appropriate to pile on as much rice as you can... On all of their sushi/nigiri dishes. I'm not sure if it's a game they play in the back.

Anyway, I ordered a shrimp sushi roll (can't remember the name) and it was…More »

  Update - 4/8/2010

This update has been a long time coming, but I've learned since my visit that Wind Mobile runs a very murky business.

Yes, they use SIM cards, but the Sim cards are virtually unusable on any phone except for the T-Mobile locked specific phones. Yet,…More »

American Airlines has got to be the single worst airline I've ever taken, anywhere. The service is not only atrocious (I think the flight attendants secretly wish they could murder all the travelers on their flight), but for some reason, all of the…More »

My experience, just like most others on this page was disastrous in the service department. The waitress had messed up the orders of about 3-4 tables around us before she'd come around to taking our order (we'd been already sitting there for about 30…More »

I came here for a Winterlicious lunch yesterday with a group of friends. Not knowing what to expect, since although I've heard great things about Alize in general, usually the winter/summerlicious events seem to be a mediocre sampling into what you…More »

Toronto, ON M6A 3A1

1.0 star rating
  Update - 2/13/2012

Much like the effect of beer goggles Topshop has unfortunately revealed itself to be an inferior H&M in many ways*. The quality of clothing, accessories and makeup settles in between Forever 21 and H&M touting prices higher than Zara.

It seems like a…More »

Okay, Ballroom Bowl Bar Bistro, let's break you down to get a clear examination. First of all, your name is deceptive. There is no ballroom, nor is there any bistro. The name speaks to me and evokes pretty images of 50s-style heart-shaped necklines…More »

The quality of the food here is not matched by the prices they charge, which is obviously hiked up by the ambiance. It's flashy, overpriced fast food.

Marinepolis is probably the better option for some conveyor belt sushi since it's likely the same…More »

There aren't many Ethiopian restaurants in Toronto, a few but not enough to make everyone quite familiar with the cuisine. Here, Nazareth nestles itself in perfectly as an introduction to the tradition of shared platters, delicious flavours and…More »

If you're going to make your introduction to Bikram, I suggest trying Bikram Beaches, or Bikram North York as your first studio instead.

The instructor I had here was unnecessarily harsh with new students, to the point of just being obnoxious. I…More »

Wow, this place was such a disappointment.

I was all prepared to love Banjara considering the rave reviews on Yelp, but it didn't meet my high expectations, and Yelpers tend to spot the strengths.

The restaurant has a kitschy Bombay Palace- circa…More »
