Neil "indefinite review hiatus" T.'s Profile
My Favorite Spots in the T.Dot
See All Lists
1. DT Bistro-Patisserie
I've been to this place every week since I discovered it a couple of months ago. Of note, I have been there mostly for brunch and lunch, only a couple of dinner outings.
The building it's housed in is pretty "classy" for the price point --…More »
2. Tutti Matti Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5V 1R7
(416) 597-8839
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
This is one of my favorite spots in Toronto for real Italian food. The dining room is small with a cute open kitchen in the middle of the room. The staff is very knowledgeable and easy-going.
I treat myself to this place maybe once every few months.…More »
3. Black Hoof
Toronto, ON M6J 1W3
(416) 551-8854
Category:
Gastropubs
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
So I have decided to leave Yelp. Sorry guys, it was bound to happen. From now on, I will be eating my meals exclusively with Susan C. and she will be writing 'our' reviews on behalf of the both of us!!! Goddamn she really knows how to make my…More »
4. Hanoi 3 Seasons
This is perhaps Toronto's only northern Vietnamese cuisine restaurant (with another location in Leslieville opening later this summer). The food is different than other run-oft-the-mill Vietnamese restaurants in Toronto, which predominately serve…More »
5. Vietnam Noodle Star
It's worth the drive to the 'Bro. Simply put, this is the best place in the GTA for pho. They use fresh noodles (not dry) and their broth is more flavorful and fresh compared with many others -- it has that certain touch of sweetness to it (maybe…More »
6. The Hoof Cafe - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M6J 1W2
(416) 792-7511
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Trinity Bellwoods
MEAT!!! You've done it again!!!
I woke my fat ass up early on a Saturday morning to beat the crowd at the Hoof Cafe. Got there about 10:10am and got the last table. Phew.
I went there with a friend, who weighs in at about 90 lbs soak and wet, so…More »
7. New Ho King
Toronto, ON M5T 2G7
(416) 595-1881
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Leonard just about has everything covered on his review below. I've been a regular at New Ho for about 10 years now, rarely ever going before 'it is time' -- post-bar between 2:30 and 4am.
What they say about the late night menu is true. You get…More »
8. Pho Pasteur
Toronto, ON M5T 1H4
(416) 351-7188
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Kensington Market
I made my way to my regular spot, Pho Pasteur, after Susan C. claimed that the broth was back on track. Good news, broth is back on track! I didn't find it to be off side in the first place.
My update is similar to my original review, though for…More »

Oh yes, the mighty 24-hour giant of a pho joint...Pho Pasteur! I like it here, I like it a lot.… Read more »
9. Pat's Homestyle Jamaican Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
(416) 304-0767
Category:
Caribbean
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
I can't believe all you hipster d-bags living in the area haven't taken the time to review this gem of a restaurant. Guess you were all too busy buying skinny jeans or something.
This is no longer called Albert's Real Jamaican Foods -- it is Pat's…More »
10. Ka Chi
Toronto, ON M5T 2G4
(416) 597-1999
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Only one review! This is blasphemy!
So people go here for the PBS (aka Pork Bone Soup or kam ja tang). Them shits is delicious! Spicy broth and massive chunks of pork bone -- I think they're spines or something. Anyway, there's a lot of super…More »
11. Big Sushi
This is my favorite sushi place in the Annex area. The portions are reflective of its name -- BIG!
Unlike other sushi restaurants on Bloor, the raw fish is actually edible. I never understood why New Generation and Sushi on Bloor were such hot…More »
12. Tofu Village - House of Soon Tofu
Toronto, ON M6G 4B9
(647) 345-3836
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhood: Bickford Park
The mighty Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu has some competition in town! Tofu Village is a new player in the Annex's tofu game...and it's fantastic.
Here are my notes:
1. The soon tofu is da bomb bizzle. The Chinese would say that it's more "waht" than the…More »
13. Mainsha
Some notable changes since my last glowing review of this place:
1) The ox tail recipe has been changed to some salty mess of a dish. It's nowhere near being as good as Pat's anymore. It's kind of not-so-good.
2) Tuesdays are rammed with people. The…More »

14. Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu
Toronto, ON M6G 1L3
(416) 537-0972

Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Bickford Park
The hierarchy of spice according to Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu:
Extra Spicy
Regular Spicy
Medium
Mild
White* (see photo http://www.yelp.ca/biz...)
I decided to go one notch above the white man's spice level in order to really taste the broth, since it is my…More »
15. Okonomi House Restaurant
Toronto, ON M4Y 2R4
(416) 925-6176
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Wow, I can't believe how many times I've passed this place over the years and dismissed it as some regular normal Japanese restaurant!
This was my first okonomiyaki experience, and not bloody likely to be my last! The shrimp okonomiyaki with extra…More »
