Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
I've been here several times now, myself and with friends and I like it.
The proportions here are not obnoxious that it gives you itis.
The waitstaff speak English which is key, so my non-Korean friends don't feel like an outcast.
It's a great place for…More »

Have you feasted on Kom Jug? not Cum Jug, Kom Jug, you DIRTY DIRTY mind you.

Vegetarian,
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Kensington Market
I have been waiting for this place to reopen for a while now.
I have visited the place several times to see if it was open only to be greeted by the hand written sign that it was closed.
By complete fluke, I finally got there - and with the person who…More »

Thai

I liked this restaurant before it burned down because the way the seats are set up reminds me of the days my brothers took me to little restaurants back in Korea, when I was like....6.

My favourtie Boon Shik in KoreaTown Toronto.

Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Bickford Park, Seaton Village
This is the only 24 hour Korean restaurant, famous for their pork bone soup - I don't recommand anything else from here - it's pricier because of the convenience factor, not the taste. But their Pork Bone Soup is amaaaaazing!!!!
It's another "boon…More »
7. Khao San Road
Toronto, ON M5V 1R3
(647) 352-5773
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
I have to say this place is SCRUMPTIOUS, no, orgasmic in every way.
Until very recently I didn't pay attention to the name of the restaurant, even though it was the natural choice for lunch when Burrito boyz seemed a little too far and my friend and…More »
8. Sushi Xtra
Toronto, ON M5V 2A5
(416) 599-2688
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
I don't know if you noticed, but I was born an Asian - specifically Korean - which has a lot of similarities to Japanese culture, and one of them, is our love of raw seafood.
I have had a good share of seafood - live and dead - in various places and I…More »
9. E Wang Korean Japanese Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6G
(416) 535-3197
When I first went to this spot, it was freezing cold day - I wrote a good review for the place - but I think it was skewed by the cold and starvation.
I've been to this place several times since then and my opinion has changed significantly. I…More »
10. Thumbs Up Korean Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6G
(416) 536-4106
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
Not my place of choice. The restaurant is called "um ji boon shik" in Korean, the word "um ji" implies "finest" or "best". The word Boon Shik refering to quick to make,snack - like foods, most closely resembling fast food in western society. It's…More »

(416) 532-9669

This is a great spot. It's the best boon shik "restaurant",in the whole KTown.

12. Imonay House Restaurant

(416) 533-2850
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Bickford Park, Seaton Village
According to their signage in Korean - which translates to "Auntie's Kal Guk Soo (which is like pasta made from rice flour, flattened & cut by hand - similar to fettuccine noodles)" which implies that their Kal Guk Soo is very good. So I went in. I…More »
13. Steamy's Asian Tapas and Grill
Toronto, ON M5V 2L1
(416) 646-2788
Categories:
Tapas Bars,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
I have walked past this restaurant many a times without actually setting foot in it because it was always closed. Then, one fateful night my friend needed to vent - and we were on a hunt for a nice spot to eat and drink at.
After failed attempts, this…More »
14. Lee's Thai Spring Roll
MY favourite Thai joint.
I find that they charge about $1 more than most - but the quality of the food is certainly better quality and the seasoning is perfect.
My particular favourite: cold spring rolls. They are flavourful and crunchy as it should…More »
15. Apalla
Toronto, ON M6J
(647) 428-7119
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods
I think all I can say right now that describes the way I feel about the butter chicken I had from this place is: ORGAASMIC. I'd actually give it a 10 out of 5 if I could.
It was a visual AND nasal feast from the moment the food arrived and the thick,…More »
16. Pho Hung
Toronto, ON M5T 2G4
(416) 593-4274
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
In my mind, this is the place to be for cheap yet delicious Pho. I don't go for the lousy service - I go for the wonderful Pho that never fails to satisfy my stomach. The Pho that is completely digested on my walk home that, half way to my house I…More »
17. Pho Rex

Vietnamese

Category:
Himalayan/Nepalese
Neighbourhood: Parkdale
This would be the 4th time I've been there - it took me a little bit since it's the first Tibetan foodspot I tried - I like it.
My first impression was - wow, it's just like "asian food" except...different? I'm not sure what it is, but it definitely…More »

20. Banjara Indian Cuisine
Toronto, ON M6G 1L7
(416) 963-9360
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Christie Pits, Bickford Park
I am a firm believer that this place has ruined every other Indian food spots for me.
I've been here a few times now...and have found that the service and the food were both excellent. The moment you enter you're greeted and water is brought to you.…More »
21. Dhaba Indian Excellence
Toronto, ON M5V 1J5
(416) 740-6622
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
This place deserves a 4 STAR, for delivering and for having EXCELLENT food - I've had Butter chicken from here several times now - and it just melts away in your mouth. There is just never enough of the food...and sharing is OUT OF THE QUESTION.
So…More »
22. OM Restaurant and Bar
Toronto, ON M6R 1A1
(416) 532-3901
Categories:
Indian,
Himalayan/Nepalese
Neighbourhood: Parkdale
I am a yoga fan. I am a fan of OM chant. I am not a fan of this restaurant.
I have watched businesses drop away from this spot like flies for last few years until this one. Since it stuck around for longer then most, I figured that it must be good.…More »
23. The Family Thai
Okay.
So this place used to be Lee's Thai Spring Rolls - with faded bamboo cuts shaped like a curtain outside and a burgundy curtain at the door. It had a nice decor and fairy authentic menu. I even worked there for a little while, so I can get free…More »
24. Noodle Menu
OKAY.
This place was a very pleasant surprise for me - maybe it was because my expectations were so low (I mean, the others Viet places in Parkdale has turned out to be less than wonderful), but it is certainly worth many a return visit.
I can tell…More »
Recently updated lists from shyni y.
Health institutions (5)There are countless walk-ins....while it's not possible to review all,here's my experience in some. |
Deals I tried. (5)I have LivingSocial, DealGetters and all sorts of deal getting places for me to buy and try out, which is excellent as I am perpetually poor with the desire to try out everything I can within outside of my means...which this sort of thing allows me to do.Here are my thoughts and experiences about the places and things I got to experience; big thanx to all the group buy deals out there! |
Best Happy Hour + (16)Where I love to sit, eat and drink , be loud. and repeat. |
Food on the Walk. (12)Sometimes, you must multi-task and eat as you walk. Most of these places have a dine-in option; but sometimes, that's just not an option for you. Here's my thought on some spots that offer food to fit in the palm of your hand so you can eat & walk or eat and run. |
Eyecandy stores. (1)I love crafts and pretty things and...some of my favourite trinket stores...where you can feast your eyes but must go in with a friend who will keep you away from your wallet. |
Dining quiet (13)Food is great. These are places I enjoyed dining in and getting Take-out from - but quite possibly not go with my loudest set of posse. This is where I go to have actual conversations and enjoy a quiet evening out - not the same as happy hour, where I end up screaming out of drunkeness. |
Breakfast and Coffee spots (7)my FAVOURITE meal of the day is breakfast; I like it in the morning, afternoon and at night. Breakfast time is anytime, in my books. |
