Yummmmm. I've been meaning to try here for a long time, and it's one of those you see all the time, but never get a chance to go.

Thursday evening, there was a few tables left. It's a lot smaller than I thought.

Menu consists of Okonomyaki ($6.95 the…More »

I've already wanted to try this place, and now with my dietary restrictions, this seems the perfect time.

I cam again with my mom last night, wanted her to try the awesome sushi they offer. Food was just as good as last time, but I have to say the service left some room to improve.

Ordered Tempura Udon, Eggplant app, and Sashimi dinner, which should have…More »

This place is my staple for a late night, drink/coffee/dessert. It's a nice unique place to hang out. It's 24 hrs, and they still serve dinner.

The food I find is common, and nothing special, but the desserts are good - some of the cakes are from…More »

I would give it 1 star, but it gets a bonus point for location.

Maybe its deteriorated. Maybe I'm just more picky about my Pho.

But...

I got a small House Special bowl, and I literally finished the whole thing in 3 or 4 spoonfuls. There was not enough…More »

A non-pub alternative for something close to Yorkville, but not really.
The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. Not pretentious, but up a level from the usual.

The portions are generous, and the prices are $$. They have a regular dinner selection, with…More »

Fresh. Tasty. Healthy. It's got to be one of the best quick lunches I've had in a while.

Hidden away at Dupont and Spadina, you might miss it as you walk by (as with a lot of the small establishments on the street).  Mostly takeout, there are a few…More »

A quick venue change for a Yelp event landed us here. Like for most, it was hard to find, and I needed to have someone tell me that L.A.B. = Labyrinth Lounge. Not sure why this is the case.
If you're in a parking lot, you've gone too far.

This weekly event until June 22 is an excellent and fun marketing ploy by the museum but you know what it's super fun. Each night is a different theme, which is nice because it keeps it different. Tonight was about HotDocs! and they were playing…More »
