Decent sushi in a little basement venue.
The presentation of everything was lovely and I'd like to go back for some of the other Japanese food. The Chirashi was very pretty but only average, though the gyoza were delicious and the tempura very fresh…More »

Fine dining this is not, but with a careful eye you can make a quality meal at the Dragon Buffet King. From my most recent visit, I especially recommend the beef and green beans as well as the General Tao chicken and salted shrimp. The BBQ pork,…More »

Ummmm. Delicious.
Attentive, friendly service in a bright sunny room. The food is impeccable, whether eat-in or take out. Most recently had the Mango Salad and Hot and Sour Soup with prawns. A generous helping of both arrived, with several fat shrimp…More »

Hamachi Kita is a good, reliable place to grab a bite of sushi, or to settle in for a long pan-Asian meal.

The food is good, solid, and what you expect, but probably nothing to write home about. They do creative special rolls, which I've never tried,…More »

It's no haute cuisine but Jacky's is a great stop if you need a quick bite near Robie and Spring Garden. There's a weekly rotation of stir fry specials, as well as absolutely delicious noodle soups.

I keep meaning to go on Saturday morning for…More »

A quick and tasty place to get a Vietnamese or Thai fix. The staff is always prompt and friendly, and the presentation of the food is lovely.

They have great lunch specials and a weekly draw for a gift card - a great way to ensure repeat business.

Quick, fresh, friendly. What more do you need for a business lunch-hour?

The pho is very good, but the vermicelli bowls are even better. And the lunch specials can't be beat. I have not had a single bad meal here.

The service is sometimes pretty…More »

4.0 star rating

Don't let the appearance of this underground gem fool you. Rich Forest has seriously eclectic decor, but really delicious food. I tend to focus on the Korean side of the menu and have been wowed by their Bi-bim-bap, bulgogi beef, hot and spicy soups,…More »

3.0 star rating
  6/26/2011

Fresh, made to order, authentic Vietnamese food buried deep in the bowels of Park Lane. It's not somewhere I'd make a special trip for, but it's a good, solid option if you're in the neighbourhood. The price is right, too.

Just got Great Wall to cater a meeting here at work.
Quick turnaround time, friendly delivery, and delicious, delicious food.
I like their bok choy dishes especially, and the Singapore noodles, too. The ginger beef is not joking - which is nice to…More »

The key to ordering at Tai Pan is to avoid the chafing dishes. There are a variety of inkjet-printed menus dotting it's food court landscape, and these are where you find the food worth eating.

From the basic BBQ pork or crispy chicken with veggies…More »
