Neil "indefinite review hiatus" T.'s Profile

Neil's Blacklist

Inspired by Lan T's list, I've decided to create a list of establishments that I will never frequent again. This time, I am naming names.

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhoods: Niagara, West Queen West, Trinity Bellwoods

6/27/2009

Seems like a cute place from the outside with a lot of customers on a nice Saturday afternoon. However, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

The ice cream flavors, mysteriously named, come with no descriptions. When asked about the…More »

++NOTE TO OWNERS++

Toronto, ON M5G 1C7
(416) 977-3338

Category: Chinese

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

10/4/2009

I am a racist. Ok, you've been warned. A group of my Jamaican friends swear by this place. It's their go-to spot for late night eats. I once took them to my late night hot spot, New Ho King, which they surprisingly dismissed as horrible compared…More »

4. Tati

124 Harbord St
Toronto, ON M5S 1G8
(416) 962-8284

Category: French

7/20/2009

I went out to dinner with a friend tonight and there were some ominous signs (too many to mention) that should have told us not to go to this place.

Anyway, we went into this cramped restaurant, where it was busy on a Monday night. There was…More »

5. Vic Hong Restaurant

1070 Major Mackenzie Drive E
Richmond Hill, ON L4S 1P3
(905) 787-1899

Category: Vietnamese

7/12/2009

Perhaps the 'Chinese-y-est' Vietnamese restaurant I have ever been to. I use the terms 'Vietnamese' and 'restaurant' very loosely. I can see how a place like this would do well in Richmond Hill because the Chinese like to support their own, even if…More »

Toronto, ON M6C 2C3
(416) 781-9121

Category: Chinese

4/11/2010

A. Fucking. Time. Warp.

The last thing I want to see when I first enter a Chinese restaurant is some gwai lo greeting us in his accent-less English. Seriously, who wants this? That should have been a warning sign or maybe the 70's style wall paper,…More »

Let me preface this by saying I've only been here once and am basing my experience on this one (and only) visit.

1) From the moment you walk into the place (assuming you can find the little black door), it screams douche-baggery. The…More »

8. Ajisen Ramen

Toronto, ON M5T 2G2
(416) 977-8080

Category: Japanese

Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core

8/25/2010

Thank you Ajisen Ramen! Because of your crappy bowl of noodles I had yesterday, it will make my ramen this weekend at Ippudo NYC (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) taste so much better!

Notes:

1. "Irasshaimase!" sounds funny when Chinese people say it.
2. The…More »

Cheektowaga, NY 14225

Categories: Desserts, American (Traditional), American (New)

So you want to know why obesity is so prevalent in America? The reason why 66% of people over the age of 20 are overweight?

The evidence: The Cheesecake Factory.

I went to the Cheesecake Factory, one of the most popular restaurants in America, for the…More »
