Thank goodness for Khao San Road! I would originally make a trip out to the dodgy mother restaurant Sukho Thai every so often but glad they opened one up on Adelaide, much closer to work and nice area.

This is authentic Thai not the food court stuff,…More »

I'd give this place a 5 but seating is hard to come by and the bar stools are butt killers. 4.5 I'd say.

First timer and I love this place, I did spend a pretty penny but the prices are fair, everything is including tax and each tapas plate is about…More »

Used to be somewhat a secret place for 25+ to club but even 19+ are coming out to avoid the fronting and gangsterness of the younger club crowds.

It's still not a bad place to go to unwind and bottle is reasonable compared to the other King St W…More »

Recommend to go on Thursday, free entry before 930-10pm depending how busy it gets and domestic beers are only $3. At one point banana JD shots, rum and vodka cocktails were $3 as well but it became too popular.

Thursday are completely more relaxed…More »

Best fried chicken I've ever had and I've tried it throughout the states. You can really taste the buttermilk and herbs.

Brunch is amazing as well.

The BBT here is one of the best I've had in allllll of GTA including Rhill, etc.

Looks like they actually make their BBT with fresh ingredients instead of just powder, I believe their logo speaks of this too.

There's a fair amount of seating towards…More »

I usually always get the same stuff, Beef dip, chicken sandwhich or any type of burger.

Joey definitely has that 'chain' restaurant feel but it's better then most in the area in terms of food and ambiance.

Just word of warning the washroom is far, I…More »

The lady had Eggs Benedict with pemeal bacon, she never eats bacon so this was huge, she described the bacon as really tender and not overly salty, all in all the best bacon she's had but as mentioned above she never eats bacon so take it with a…More »

Went on a Thursday just before notorious Brant Thursdays and food wasn't too bad.

You get some free pretzel sticks to start and I had chicken fingers which came with chipotle mayo. This isn't fine dining but it's a lot better then Jack Astors in terms…More »

Location and the decor are great.

Food is kinda meh, I would probably only go here again if I wanted a proper sit down dining in the area otherwise I'd probably opt for Burrito Boyz.

I would say it's better then the tourist trap restaurants only King…More »
