1. Kom Jug Yuen Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 2G3
(416) 977-4079
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
If you don't like MSG, dirty washrooms with 4 foot ceilings, sometimes erratic service, decor that hasn't been updated in 40 years, and potentially having to share a table with some sketchy old Chinese guy Kom Jug Yuen is not for you. However, if…More »
2. Szechuan Gourmet Restaurant
My first experience with Hakka food was well worth the trek out to the boonies. Devan R made the dish picks for our UYE group and didn't let us down.
We started with two soups: hot and sour and chicken and corn. Both are Chinese restaurant standards…More »
3. Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu
Toronto, ON M6G 1L3
(416) 537-0972
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Bickford Park
At Buk Chang Dong, for $8 you can stuff yourself with delicious spicy tofu soup, rice, and all those crazy Korean side dishes. Even if you're not a fan of this style of soup you have to recognize that they do things right here.
I had a regular spicy…More »
4. Tofu Village - House of Soon Tofu
Toronto, ON M6G 4B9
(647) 345-3836
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhood: Bickford Park
To my taste the Soon Tofu wasn't quite as good as at Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) but it was pretty damn close. My main complaint is that even the "spicy" had zero spice.
On the up side, Tofu Village has a more extensive menu…More »
5. New Generation Sushi
The go to spot for sushi along the sushi dense stretch of Bloor between Spadina and Bathurst. The tradeoff between quality, quantity, and price is generally better here than other nearby sushi restaurants. Service is quick and friendly.
The menu is…More »
6. Tokyo Kitchen
Toronto, ON M4Y 1T1
(416) 515-0387
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
One of the better lunch spots near Bloor and Yonge. The Beef Curry with Shrimp Cutlettes ($9.95) was quite tasty. The Beef Curry was really more like beef in gravy and the Shrimp Cutlettes were essentially 3 breaded shrimp. I guess that's just how…More »
7. Hodo Kwaja
Toronto, ON M6G 1K9
(416) 538-1208
After a soup feast over at Buk Chang Dong the only logical thing to do is go for walnut cakes at Hodo Kwaja. A buck and a half gets you six timbit sized walnut cakes or you can pick up 32 for $7. For a group of 7 people we got a box of 32 cakes in…More »
8. Okonomi House Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4Y 2R4
(416) 925-6176
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Until today I didn't even know Japanese pancakes (okonomi yaki) existed. I've been working in the Manulife Center for over 2 years and never noticed Okonomi House. Today I finally stumbled upon this place randomly.
Okonomi House looks more like a old…More »
9. Full Moon Vegetarian Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 1H8
(416) 203-1210
Category:
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Great Chinese vegetarian restaurant run by a friendly family. Portions are not as massive as at the much more popular Buddha's just down the street, but the quality and variety of the food is much higher. Also, Full Moon is much less busy than…More »
Recently updated lists from Matthew S.
Poutine (8)Fries. Cheese. Gravy. One of the few truly Canadian dishes and probably the greatest food on Earth. |
Life in Guelph (9)I've recently moved from Toronto to Guelph. This is a list of some of the places I've discovered here. |
My Neighbourhood - Ossington & Bloor (11)I've been living at Ossington & Bloor for a few years now and I love the area. This is a list of places I frequent in the area: restaurants, shops, and services. A work in progress as I try new places and write more reviews. |
South of The Border (11)Mexican, Tex-Mex, and all other Latin American or Latin American inspired food. |
Eating The Subcontinent (8)Reviews of restaurants representing the cuisine of the Indian Subcontinent: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Places to try at the top, places to avoid at the bottom. |
South-East Asian Eats (6)All my Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Malaysian restaurant reviews. Good places at the top, bad places at the bottom. |
Breakfast and Brunch (5)I've recently resolved to explore the hippest meal of the day: Brunch. These are my findings in order of goodness. |
Eating in the Boonies (6)I'm a born and raised downtown Torontonian and I rarely get out of the city's core. High Park, Eglinton, and the Don River are the rough limits of my Toronto. These are some of the places I've ventured out of my geographical comfort zone to eat at. |
Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth (14)My favourite spots for dessert and other sweet things. Whether it's hot chocolate, cake, ice cream, or pie, I'm on it! In rough order of awesomeness. |
