Let me start this review by saying that I don't eat steak.  I hate steak. My parents have ruined steak for me and I refuse to eat anything that even resembles steak.  Well, my boyfriend said that if I ever would like to reconsider steak that he would…More »

This review has been long over-due.  I love this place and I can't deny it; even after bloody murder.  The service is great, the food is excellent and the price is right.

Loving their new mango roll, which has yams in it.  Although not the best mango…More »

I've been here twice, and was recommended by a friend of a friend.  I always get the same hairstylist, Chi.  She is wonderful!  I love her style and she always makes great suggestions.  She does exactly what you want, if you want to keep your length,…More »

This is the best place to go for breakfast!  If you like a healthier, lighter meal there are a ton of choices for you and the majority of their dishes are served with assorted fruit.  If you like your classic bacon and eggs breakfast, this is also…More »

Thank you so much for opening in such a convenient location!  Close enough to enjoy, but far enough from my house so that I don't eat this everyday!

I have so far only had the chance to enjoy their gelato, because it looks so damn smooth!  The…More »

Denny Z. recommended this place to me and when I got there I realized that I've been before.  This place is solid, the variety of foods they have is incredible.  They have the regular authentic Chinese food as well as the Hong Kong style foods like…More »

I went here for Valentine's day dinner because we refused to wait 60-75mins for a seat at The Keg.  We got a table almost immediately even though the hostess said 25 minutes.

The place was very nice, and not at all dirty and cramped like many Korean…More »

This is my official secret place to shop for summer dresses that I want to share.  They aren't even on the yellow pages!  I'm going to go with a pros & cons list:

Pros:
- cheap (price range is around $9 - $50 for the average dress)
- great summer…More »

I love their chocolate truffles selection!  Man, it's so hard to pick just a few to try out of their huge selection!  They're great with my indecisiveness too.  Their flavoured truffles are wonderful in that they seem very well thought through, every…More »

I have no hesitations giving this place 5 stars!  It's a family run business.  I met the owner when I was working as a teller in a bank close by.  This location has been occupied by many failed businesses, but I think Meating will be sticking around…More »

I love this place!  I bring my cousins here sometimes because she absolutely drools over this place.  The restaurant is nice (and not dirty), the service is fast, they open late, the food is great and the price is right.
Making this a quick review, I…More »

This is a very nice place to do karaoke and get drunk in private rooms with your friends.  I can't believe that no one has reviewed it yet!  
You have to pay for a room, which I think is usually around $200. They have hourly rates: More »

I like this place better than The Jerk.  Their portions are large, actually ginormous and so flavourful!  The jerk chicken isn't dry like it is at The Jerk and it's cheap!

I don't think people normally go to a mall just to eat in the food court, but I…More »

This place makes me happy and excited.  I love seeing a ton of unique imported food products in one place.  Parking is easy and it's fairly close to my home.

This is the perfect place to pick up everything you need for a hot pot dinner.  If I'm doing…More »
