Lunch Time Escapades

As a student at UofT St. George (for the summer) I wanted to make the most of being so close to such a diverse array of food options. Something, unfortunately, I cannot seem to find in Mississauga.

Went alone for a quick pre-classes lunch. Soup and salad combo and green tea ice cream. Total was $11 something. I was really full and satisfied. Nice little cafe setting, probably the brightest store/restaurant in Kensington. Will return :( and…More »

Came here after a visit to Mexican Salsas and it was so good! You can see them making the churros. I had two - strawberry and dulce de leche (they were out of chocolate). Next time I might just get that 5 churro special they have all with that yummy…More »

The portions are huge, the service is friendly and the ice cream is so creamy I felt like I was sucking on the teat of a cow. A cow that produces green tea and roasted marshmallow flavoured creamy milk.

So maybe I didn't like the roasted marshmallow,…More »

Great customer service! I'd come back here just to talk to the guy. What a sweetheart, giving me samples and talking to me like we're old buds.

I  wanted mango but unfortunately they were out (popularity or seasonal, forgot to ask). I had the cookies…More »

If you like super crispy batter I'd recommend you go with the Ms. Vickie's batter, it's original batter + crushed Ms. Vickie's Salt and Vinegar chips :D. The original batter was alright, but kinda thin and wasn't what I'm used to. The fries are meh,…More »

Customer service is fantastic! Being so close to the St. George campus I expected there to be an attitude - you're just a poor lowly student, take your food and leave. But no attitude here. I also like that they ask if you want pepper and cheese on…More »

Other people in my group raved about their food, for me it was just decent. I ordered the torta: the bread was FANTASTICALLY fresh, the meat to fillers (beans, lettuce etc.) ratio was really good. I didn't really enjoy the meat I picked out -…More »

Pretty good for a quick grab and go lunch, give or take a few minutes depending on the line up. The cashier is ALWAYS friendly no matter who it is!

$9.50 for a steak burrito with all the fixings and NO jalapenos por favor! My friends think it's…More »

I'm having trouble deciding if this place is good or bad.

I went there alone at around 8ish and nobody else was there. I said, whatever...it's Chinatown I'm sure people are just eating somewhere else today.

I ordered the spring rolls and pad thai…More »

Only go if you want the King's Crown Nachos, Tuesday Fajita special and maybe the avocado spring rolls (I'm a sucker for a good spin). Also go with money in hand, as they don't take debit and can't split bills.

Expect to:
- Eat a large portion of…More »

Not that great considering all the reviews. I had the small steak and chicken burrito on a whole wheat tortilla with everything except for jalapenos and sour cream.

The meat was DRY! The guac was made out of overripe avocados, which leaves it with…More »

My one star is for the pico de gallo. Which in comparison to everything else was DELICIOUS!

This is not my first time eating an empanada, it's not even my fifth time. I love empanadas, but what I ate from here was not an empanada. Sure it had a boiled…More »
