Fantastic service and amazing  Pad Gra Prao (Beef $13.00). Tried my friend's chicken and it was just as delicious. This time I got the Thai Spicy and it was perfect for me. The bartender suggested that I get extreme spicy next time. Maybe, just…More »

Solid 4-star.
I was looking around for place to eat on Yelp and the description for the food at this place intrigued me. To be honest, I had no idea what I was expecting. I had thought this place was near Ossington too, only to drive past it and…More »

3.5 for their brunch, rounded up because freshly squeezed orange juice is always a plus.

I had their Benny with peameal bacon. Nothing incredible about their hollandais sauce, nothing wrong with their poached eggs. The peameal bacon was unfortunately…More »

We were looking for a patio seating place for breakfast near the area and I found this place on Yelp, figuring Diner would indicate diner type food. After sitting down and looking through the menu, it turns out that this place is not really a diner,…More »

The burgers are soooo juicy and delicous and so worth the money.
I got the Craft Spicy Burger, but I wish i didnt asked for the spicy chipotle sauce because the burger was so delicious on its own. The onion rings are dangerous...you cannot eat just…More »

3.5 and rounded up cuz my friend said he'd eat here everyday.

The three of us got to share:
- fish platter: deep fried haddock, shrimp, scallop, calamari, and fries. My favourite was the calamari...seasoned so well! It also came with coleslaw and…More »

We went there for lunch and their selection is a lot smaller, but the price is also a lot cheaper. For 12.99 you can get all kinds of special rolls, nigiri, hot foods, dessert, starters, etc.

The only thing that I thought was missing that made me sad,…More »

I love pretty close to Mi-Ne Sushi but I've never bothered to eat here because the prices seem pretty outrageous. Today, I had some sushi craving and no one to eat with so I dragged myself here to order take-out. I got the Maki Set A which included…More »

Admittedly, I've never been a fan of Middle Eastern food. Very rarely do I eat a shawarma that makes my toe curl (just one in Boston). And now, pending my exile to Europe, I try to avoid things like kabobs and shawarmas knowing that they overflow the…More »

Came here on a rainy day so that might have affected the way i felt about this place...considering the backyard patio was not opened, the floor was wet and greasy looking, and found a tiny cockroach in the downstairs bathroom made me really go yuck.

I wouldn't come here for the food, and even the drinks are a bit wishy-washy.
I came here with an old friend of mine for drinks and to start we each ordered a cocktail. My first cocktail was a drink that had mango juice and peach schnapps. There was…More »

I feel a bit bad about giving this small place a 3-star when everyone has given it mostly 5 and 4 stars, but I was kinda disappointed with the place.

First, it was hard to find the place. There were no big signs on the top and I wandered around Queen…More »

I'd give this place a 4 star if it wasn't so expensive. $6 for a matcha latte...I wonder if there is a significant difference between this and the $5 green tea latte at Starbucks...The one at teaopia is definitely less sweet and more bitter, but does…More »

- owner = surprisingly friendly
- chicken shawarma wrap = really delicious, but a bit different from all the shawarmas i've had before...namely they add this weird onion salsa that had celery in it, and hot sauce
- price = good. 4.99+tax for shawarma…More »

Service is excellent, but food is underwhelming.
We came here for dinner and got the Saag Chicken and Chicken Korma. The Saag chicken was too salty, while the Chicken Korma was too sweet.

Not much else to say about this place. It's pretty busy and…More »

Things you should know:
- this is not a place to have dinner, it's a hipster bar with dinner-type food in snack portions in placement of bar food.
- ironically, drink selection is very limited.
- each "tapa" is individual-sized.
- as a "rule" they dont…More »
