1. Sapporo Sushi
One of the best quality cheap sushi i've ever had in toronto.
The $10 bento box comes with a spicy salmon handroll, large pieces of salmon sashimi, three spicy salmon maki, and three california maki, and three eel sushi. It is SO worth it. Comes with…More »
2. Congee Wong
Of all the congee wong's this is the best location, which would explain why it is constantly packed. Surprisingly, they do take reservations for a large group of people, which is great for cheap family events. They need to open at least one up in…More »
3. Tsui Wah
Came with my mom on Friday night and this time we ordered the right stuff and it was amazingly cheap and delicious!
We had the Guilin Fried Rice that was a bit spicy, with pickled vegetables, minced pork, tomatoes and eggs. SO GOOD!
The old friend…More »

4. Pho 88 Vietnamese Restaurant
Scarborough, ON M1W 3Y1

Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
Went back to Toronto this time and had to come here again. The Special Super 88 spicy noodle is as good as I remembered it, and their pork chop rice was better than i remembered it. I wish they had one in Boston :(

My favourite Pho place in the world! I give it a five star even tho I found a fly in the salad that… Read more »
5. Green Grotto Room
Best bbtea in the GTA and closest to real bbtea they sell in taiwan. They actually have grass jelly in milk, something my boyfriend got everyday while we were in taiwan. This hangout spot is always packed with people (it helps that it's in a booming…More »
6. Samosa King - Embassy Restaurant
i cant believe i forgot to review samosa king while i was in toronto.
every time i go back to toronto, i head to samosa king at least once. their veggie samosas are to die for!!
FIVE SAMOSAS FOR A DOLLAR!! you can't beat that. i generally dont like…More »

All you can eat KBBQ for 17.99 on a weeknight include:
- meats: beef (meh)/chicken(no good)/pork (good)/ribs (very good)/ox tonue (DELICIOUS)
- vegetables: pineapple/zucchini/red pepper
- side dishes: kimchi (surprisingly very good)/tofu/beansprout
-…More »
8. Asian Legend
This must be the third Asian Legend I've reviewed on Yelp. For some reason, everyone I know loves this place so I keep coming back. The funny thing is, I now have been to every one of them, even though I haven't reviewed them. The one thing that all…More »
9. Chung King Garden Restaurant
Best place to have Peking duck in the GTA.
Service is friendly and all the servers speak good english.
You can order your peking duck in two ways, three ways, or four ways, which include the skin the wrap, minced and wrapped in lettuce, stir-fried…More »
10. A Place For Us
One of my favourite bubbletea place in the GTA, probably because they have a strawberry-egg flavoured milk tea. It might sound disgusting, but it is not. I've been coming to this place since high school, which was a long time ago. It used to be a lot…More »
11. Owl of Minerva
It's been a while since i was last here and the price definitely went up. I remember it used to be 6.95 per dish and now it's about 9.99 for most of the dishes.
My friend who lives in the area is a frequenter and we went in through the back to get…More »
12. Ajisen Ramen
Love their noodle and broth every time I go, no matter what I try, I'm almost never disappointed. This time I had their new tomyum noodle with teriyaki beef. The noodle an dbroth is good, and the beef was amazing.
YUM!!
13. Szechuan Legend
It's funny that although this chain has three locations that has the same name in chinese (half-acre garden as its literal translation), each of their English name is different.
I've been to the one in Metro Square a couple of times, and this might…More »
14. Lin Garden Restaurant
Scarborough, ON M1T 1H6
(416) 491-8484
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
To be fair, this is probably the first and only hakka indian chinese food restaurant i ever frequent. One of the reasons why I always come here is because the food here is so damn good. The service here is absolutely horrid (slow, rude, careless) and…More »
15. Canyon Creek
Scarborough, ON M1P 5J1
(416) 296-1400
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
The Keg's arch nemesis!!
Price and quality almost comparable, but service lacks a little.
I love their chipotle sirloin (without the goat cheese butter). Their New York steak is not so great. Caesar Salad had a lot of garlic, and you still taste it…More »
16. Not Just Dim Sum
A little bit off of the area where the restaurants are, Not Just Dim Sum was a bit hard to find. Like other reviewers have said, the place is small and very clean which makes you feel pretty good sitting in there.
They have small paper for you to…More »
17. The Sugar
3.5 stars, not quite a 4.
The Sugar is a weird place with a weird array of menu items.
- It has traditional Cantonese dessert, such as herbal essence jelly, mango freeze (mango cubes), etc.
- It has traditional Cantonese food, such as steamed rice…More »
18. Cozy Cafe
North York, ON M2N 3G1
(416) 512-0200
We just come here for drinks rather than food, although we have ordered their food and it's pretty good.
Their bottle of soju is 16.99, 1L flavoured soju is 18.99.
Beer is cheap, a bottle of blue is 3.50.
They always provide you with ample amount of…More »
19. Nak Won Restaurant
pros:
- Cheap
- Ginormous number of appetizer dishes refillable at will
- Fast, clean, lots of space
- Good food, though not the most authentic Korean food I've had
Cons
- Service is unfriendly
- Always a bitch to find parking in fmp
- Good food, though not…More »
20. Sushi Bong
North York, ON M2N 7A1
(416) 227-0022
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Willowdale
Your typical family run sushi place. Small, large portions for a cheap price, quality is meh. Their rolls are gigantic and their tempura roll is surprisingly tasty. Don't go for their Udon special, not recommended.
There are only seats for 6 people in…More »
21. Century Palace Chinese Restaurant
Once a year, a large group of us will come here for dimsum. By a large group, I mean approximately 25 of us. Why here? Because they take reservations for that many ppl. The dimsum is decent price and it tastes decent. Nothing spectacular, but nothing…More »
22. Man Woo Seafood Restaurant
Boyfriend's parents go-to place for dimsum. Cheaper before 11am.
The food is just okay. Their chicken feet is meh. Their chive dumpling comes with normal skin (not the clear) and chicken, not shrimp. Disappointing. I have nothing good or bad to say…More »
23. Asian Legend
The metro square location is better, but this one is not too bad.
I'm not a huge fan of this chain to begin with, and I definitely have had better Asian food.
Last time I was here, a few days ago, we had
- "hong yo chau shao" (spicy wonton): waaay too…More »
24. Baton Rouge
overpriced crappy food with good service and ambiance.
The only food that was satisfying was their sweet potato fries.
I got the three course meal ($35):
1. potatoe soup: turned out it was MASHED POTATOES in a bowl. Asked the server what was going on…More »
25. Joons Restaurant
Utterly unimpressed.
Although the price is cheap (6.75 for an entree), the content and quantity is abysmally small. I got the Spicy Pork stir fry with rice, and I ate all of it in 5 minutes and was dying for more food. My friends' bibimbop and tofu…More »
26. Tai Ping Hsiang
Markham, ON L3R 2Z5
(905) 947-9998
I'm pretty sure they changed owners. The new owner who is manning the front now is RUDE and the food is no longer as tasty. The woman gave me a nasty face when i asked for an extra pair of chopsticks and asked us to clean our own tables and leave so…More »
