Two words. Cheap and fast.

This is a kind of restaurant that wants to finish your food in twenty minutes. The food is prepared so fast that sometimes I wonder if they know what I'm thinking - sort of know what I'm about to order and start preparing…More »

Definitely not five star.

I went to this place expecting a mediocre place. It was worse. The table was dirty. The smell, unpleasant. Food apparently is great but I just could not concentrate. I am not sure if this got the best spare rib - my taste…More »

No frills, feel good place. The tables are sticky sometimes. Music can be loud. But crowd and servers are great. I go to this place to relax and eat, not dine, eat.

Coffe refill is $1. Dessert is just plain awesome. Did I say awesome?

You'll find…More »

The food is adequate not the best chinese buffet I've been to but definitely NOT the worst. It's wise of them to hand out lobster ticket so everyone gets a piece. But it's too rubbery but this is buffet so this should be expected. I have never been…More »

The greatest "open" secret to this place is this: call ahead for pick up.

Visit this place once and read the menu, intently. Memorize it even. Because the next time you want to drop by and pick up burritto, you'll save ten to fifteen minutes by…More »

Meh. It's a pub in its purest form. I am not a beer drinker so my review is from non-drinker's point of view. I'm reviewing food and service.

The staff that helped us only checked on us twice. I was thirsty and dying from the curry spices. It was…More »

I LOVE burgers. Go on and judge me.

Big Smoke Burger is a great alternative to Hero's. I ordered its Big Blue burger combo with onion ring. It was delicious. You really can't go wrong with gorgonzola and burger - it makes your burger sound AND taste…More »

It's better than most (not THE best) sushi places in the neighbourhood. I order a sushi plate for two (I forgot what it's called) and it's HUMONGOUS. I had enough sushi to last for two weeks. It's so plenty that I had to walk down to Yoyo Yogurt (see…More »

My coupon-fanatic friend and I decided to come here to try the place since we get 50%.  I forgot what I even ordered but I remember not being impressed. But at least I was not horrified. There are some restaurants where you just want to run out to…More »
