1. Hopper Hut
I grew up in Scarborough and have always had a lot of Sri Lankan friends. I would say 95% of my friends are. The weird thing is that I have never experienced Sri Lankan cuisine.
At around 9:30PM, my hungry boyfriend calls and tells me he hasn't…More »
2. Seor Ak San
Toronto, ON M5T
(416) 977-2788
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
The rumours are true, this is home to T-Dot's BEST BIBIMBAP - even better than Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu. Seor Ak San has been opened for about a year and even though its pretty far away from Christie & Bloor (Korea Town), this place does not lack in…More »
3. Pho Pasteur
Toronto, ON M5T 1H4
(416) 351-7188
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Kensington Market
Hands down the best Pho place downtown. It is a bit pricier than the likes of Pho Hung, Pho 88 etcetera with a small ringing in at $7.99, a medium for $8.75 and a large for $9.75 - but its worth it for the added quality.
When we arrived, we were the…More »
4. Fragrant Bakery
Scarborough, ON M1V 5L6

Category:
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Who doesn't love a Chinese Egg Tart? While I usually go for the Portuguese version at other Chinese bakeries that always disappoint me with their so-called Chinese Egg Tarts... I come specifically to Fragrant Bakery for their Chinese Egg Tarts!

6. Not Just Noodles
I don't know why this place got such bad reviews. Yes the ambiance sucks, yes its a hole in the wall.... But the food more than makes up for it. Its not exactly selling itself as high end.
Somewhere between a "Dai pai dong" (cafeteria-style) and an…More »
7. Lai Doh Restaurant
Scarborough, ON M1V 4S5
(416) 293-7168
With no ingredients left in the fridge, we headed to Lai Doh (a family favourite) for dinner. We ordered set dinners which comes with:
Choice of Soup (Cream Soup, Borscht or Chinese-Style Soup)
Starter Smoked Salmon "Waldorf" Salad (YUMMY!!!!)

Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Bickford Park
My third time at Buk Chang Dong for some savoury Clay Pot Rice! The first 2 times I had #9 on the menu, which is their Broiled Bulgogi (think beef on a sizzlin hot plate, served with a side of their house clay pot rice).
The communal starter dishes…More »
9. Amato Pizza
**Delivery Review**
I discovered Amato Pizza haphazardly when I took over as EA at my previous employer. We had monthly birthday celebrations in the form of pizza and cake in the boardroom.
I had never had a "white" pizza prior to Amato, which…More »
10. Keung Kee Restaurant
Ok, well now that I can actually think straight and am not all delusional or sick, I can write a more full review of Keung's.
Upon careful reflection, I must say that their congee really sucks! They don't use deboned chicken (to my surprise). I…More »

Tex-Mex
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
Hangover food of choice tonight - Burrito Boyz! Had a small halibut burrito to share.
Generous generous portion sizes... I seriously don't know how people can eat a large! Just half of a small was a meal for me! The halibut burrito is my all-time…More »
12. House of Gourmet
Toronto, ON M5T 1G9
(416) 217-0167
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
The restaurant's in Chinatown survive on 1 of 2 principles - its either dirt cheap or its damn good. This restaurant has been around for over 15 years, and has recently gotten a face lift.
In terms of cleanliness (at least that meets the eye), this…More »

Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhood: Kensington Market
Located inside El Gordo fine foods - Arepa Market is the second vendor to your left (or the first vendor on your left after you climb the mini flight of stairs to the elevated part of this communal space). There are 5 vendors all under one roof so…More »

(416) 497-8899
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Came to Pho 88 with boyfriend after attending Orfeo ed Euridice @ the Four Seasons Centre for Performing Arts. I had literally come home, and with 15 minutes to glam up - skipped dinner altogether.
Pho is always one of those things I enjoy - my…More »

Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Nguyen Huong always brings me on a trip down memory lane. Back in the early 90's when the Chinese population was not invading all the various townships of Toronto - we all had to take that weekly trip down to either East or West Chinatown for all…More »

Met up with a friend for lunch today and decided to give Freshwest Grill a try.

Categories:
Butcher,
Meat Shops
Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence, Downtown Core
Carnicero's is a relatively new addition to the St. Lawrence Market. A meat stand (the name escapes me) occupied this space before.
After having seen a feature in Toronto Life I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Pulled Pork Burrito which comes…More »
18. Chino Locos
Toronto, ON M4L 2P4
(647) 345-5626
Categories:
Mexican,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
Chino Locos - translates into Crazy Chinese. Are we crazy? I guess the media would like you to think so with stories of onlookers ignoring an infant that was run over by a van, with some of the things we eat (chicken feet?) etcetera. Well the…More »
19. Porchetta & Co
Toronto, ON M6J
(647) 352-6611
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Trinity Bellwoods
When I first walked up to Porchetta and saw the same steamy windows that I often see at my house when my mother is cooking up a storm - I knew it would be good!
The huge lineup (about 3 people waiting to dine-in and 2 waiting for take-out) in such a…More »
20. South China Noodles Delight
After my coma-inducing hot yoga class last night, I needed something to replenish my electrolytes. I was also feeling like a 10 lb. weight was attached to my forehead every time I bent over to do downward dog, which signaled that my sinuses were…More »
21. Burrito Bandidos
My first encounter with a Toronto burrito was at Burrito Boyz, the chain that was founded by the owner who now owns Burrito Bandidos after having sold his stake in the namesake for B-Boyz.
I decided to give it a try to see which was superior! I must…More »

Burgers
Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
Redeemed my WagJag coupon today for a Signature 4 oz. Combo.
It was pretty busy as all the office workers came out of their cubicles and oozed into the Food Court of 100 Wellington West. Hero Burger was definitely one of the longer lines. The service…More »
23. Congee Time
Have dined here a total of three times and thought it was time I wrote a review. You can never go wrong with these "Juk, fun, meen, fan" (Congee, Rice Noodles, Chow Mein & Rice) restaurants. You can always rely on consistency in terms of the taste,…More »

I am pretty spoiled when it comes to Vietnamese food since my mom was born and raised in Vietnam. So I get the good stuff at home. I don't get easily impressed with the stuff I get when I dine out.
I decided to opt for something other than Beef Pho…More »
25. Wvrst
***1/2 stars
Wvrst has been open for about 4 weeks and I now know why its already getting so much buzz - the sausages are yummy!

Headed to Smoke's Poutinerie after having boozed and dances the night away down the street at Bar 244. It was not too crowded but had a few occupied tables.

Tried the "World Famous" Peameal Bacon Sandwich today. Ringing in at almost $6. It was a sandwich made with a bun and a generous serving of peameal bacon wedged in between. That's where it stops. Condiments can be found toward the side of…More »

Was looking for a place to eat prior to the Yelp Elite Pimp Your Profile Pic at Lomography. We arrived around 5:30PM to a relatively empty restaurant. It really is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with attempts of decor such as the paneled…More »

Their crowning glory…More »
33. Café 260
Came to Café 260 with a voucher in hand for $12 worth of goodies.

Decided to come to Agave y Aguacate as we were downtown and I have always wanted to try it out based on the Yelp buzz it had gotten in recent months. I tried the Tinga Tostada ($6.75) which was made with beans, tomato, avocado and chicken. I guess…More »

Located in the mall at Sandhurst Circle right beside the Regal (which used to be the old Ruby Restaurant).

36. Power King Restaurant
Every once in awhile, the family and I will revisit restaurants that we haven't gone to in awhile (not always because they've been bad experiences). I used to love coming to Power King for their chow mein, rice noodles and congee.

I came here after my disappointment in finding that Anh Dao, the Vietnamese restaurant was closed.
