Another hidden gem tucked away on Gerrard Street.  They're  a Family-run business so you can feel a little less guilty paying for food when you should have brought something from home (!!!)

  Update - 6/8/2011

As of next week, no more $8 lunch special.

They've introduced a "new menu", and have jacked up the prices on EVERYTHING.  

To put it in perspective, their teriyaki bento box's (chicken, salmon AND beef) all used to be $6.95.  Now their chicken box is…More »

Um yeah, not impressed.

Just picked-up over $50 worth of lunch specials from these guys and when I got back to the Office, I noticed they didn't include any miso soup and/or salad that usually comes with it.

I get all the way back to the office, notice…More »

Mmm this place is the best.  Probably the best option in the College Park food court, IMO.  You can have a chicken sammy or steak sammy; both equally delicious.  There's also the option of white or whole wheat bun.  I've also been known to come here…More »

I've only been here for lunch but I don't mind this place.  Pretty good menu offerings at decent prices.  I get take-out occasionally too.  I really like their fries, well done and so crispy.  Their honey mustard balsamic dressing is also really good…More »

Although the food here is healthy, tasty, and custom made, I cannot justify paying $10 for a turkey cobb wrap.  Just a little too expensive for me.

Definitely NOT Thai food.

$4.99 plus tax gets you 1 side of noodle/rice and 1 meat choice.  

The noodles are so bland.  So is the fried rice.  The sweet and sour pork looks way better than it tastes, same with the lemon chicken.  

With so many other…More »

My lunch special today was about half of the amount of food I usually get.  

I usually can't finish the whole thing but today I've eaten everything and am still hungry!!!!

Won't be ordering from here anymore.

I don't know why this place is getting such a bad rap.  Sure it's not fine-dining, but what do you expect from a restaurant with the name "Taco Time."  Cheap eats is what it is!  

Comparisons to Taco Bell come to mind, but I feel the ingredients taste…More »

Always under-staffed.  You go for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon: under-staffed.  After-work drinks on a Friday evening: under-staffed.

Pretty standard pub fare.  They don't offer a food or drink special for each day of the week*, but they do have $4…More »

Think Rabba, and you won't be surprised when you get here.  Yes the prices are ridiculous, but you're paying for the convenience.

It's obviously not a place where you'd fill up a grocery cart, but it's located right across the street from my work so I…More »

Ewwwww.  

WORST SHAWARMA EVER!  Even "Fit for Life" has better Shawarma's.

The only toppings they added were tomato and lettuce and literally no, if not none at all tabouli or pickled turnip.  Chicken was okay, not too dry at least.  For $4.99 it was…More »

This place needs a new system.  Seriously.  Waiting 20+ minutes for a falafel is downright silly.
