1. D & R Wing's Restaurant
Just had their Beef and Mushroom on rice special for dinner for $6.99.
Same old service as usual.
The dish was okay, nothing majorly tasty, but does the job for the price you pay. Actually 1/2 the price you pay. I took 1/2 of it home just because…More »

This is one of my default restaurants. For the most part don't expect good service (unless they… Read more »
2. Casa Manila
Haven't been here for a while and I decided to get my usual. Chicken Tosilog all day breakfast.
A few changes I noticed. The restaurant is brighter. Which is a plus compared to restaurants that go for a dim atmosphere. Though I think they may want…More »

Guess you can tell I am a regular here. Anyway I ate here again with a couple of friends to try out… Read more »
3. Sakura Sushi
Ordered the chiraishi don. Didn't even bother looking at the menu. In my opinion if you are a sushi place and you don't serve chiraishi then you are not worth my while. JT Sushi is an example of one I wont bother. Only exception to that rule is Solo…More »
4. Tasty Shawarma
Toronto, ON M1T 1E5

Category:
Middle Eastern
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Went there with my dad's friends earlier this evening. Just had their $5.98 beef with fries (since they didn't have tabooli) + pop combo. The portions were large, I didn't even finish the fries (though they are the normal potato fries, so I wasn't…More »
5. Grotto Noodle House
Just had another run at this place again. They allowed me to do one other customization this time so I got my beef and tripe only noodles. Still good, service is better than before since they got new owners.

This is my default noodle place but I have not been craving noodles for a while so I have not been… Read more »
6. Esquire Restaurant
Okay I am not really a fan of Greek food myself, this is also pretty standard fare. However, it is pretty close, cheap and of acceptable quality therefore I declare this place my "default Greek restaurant" right now.
The portions are okay, it's a bit…More »
7. Chinese Dumpling House
Markham, ON L3R 1K9
(905) 947-9880
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Ok just went there again because the default dimsum place was packed and the Grotto Noodle House was not open for at least another 30 minutes and I was hungry.
Went in to get a seat, as expected from a low end Chinese restaurant I was just overhand…More »

Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Went there again for their Souvlaki again. A VERY LITTLE bit disappointed this time around. It just wasn't as good as the last time (some time last week), I think it may have been slightly undercooked, just slightly. It was during the lunch rush…More »
9. Kyu Shou
Scarborough, ON M1V 5N3
(416) 609-1819
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Went here today just because my other ramen place nearby that I would go to has closed down. However, that was perfect luck for me as I liked the food here better than my old place.
Their prices are a bit steeper than others, but then again I didn't…More »
10. Green Grotto Room
Got my pomegranate blueberry cheese cake after many failed attempts. I went with a couple of friends and they were asking which drinks I would recommend. My recommended drinks are:
Large iced hibiscus green/black tea with aloe and no ice.
Large iced…More »

Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Just went here for lunch earlier under the assumption that some of my friends were here (they weren't BTW).
Although this is still the best place for pho that I have been to. It the dish itself still suffers from high MSG content. I told the owner…More »

12. Hot Pot King
Had a fantastic time with my friends here from 7pm to 11:15pm. Yes that's a long time (though there aren't many people there... so just an FYI for those worried about the 2h limit they put on AYCEs, it is just to allow them to let more customers in…More »

Places for Seafood and Tofu Soup (5)This is a list of restaurants in order of best quality and price ratio for Seafood and Tofu soup. Service is not a factor. |
Ham Sui Kok (3), Ham sui kok, literal translation is "saltwater corner" is one of my default dim sum dishes after I re-discovered it at China Buffet King. This is my list of places to get that dish and a ranking. |
Reasons to go to downtown Toronto (5)I personally like driving around, so" downtown" Toronto is not really a place for me. I consider "downtown" to be anywhere I have to pay for parking or no parking lot or require parallel parking or condone maniacal jaywalking in the GTA.That being said, the restaurant has to be excellent in terms of price, service, quality for me to even consider going there without any other excuse aside from eating (and paying for parking). They also have no equivalent I can access to without a car at a reasonable distance either. (There's actually a few restaurants I want to put here but I have to review them first, which means I have to go there again before I can add them to this list) |
