Konner specializes in Hunan cuisine, one of the eight great Chinese cuisines.  Excellent, I thought as I had no clue what Hunan food was about but at time all I knew was that it wasn't Szechuan.  Little did I know that the distinction behind Hunan…More »

Vic H. covered Szechuan Legend quite well so I'll just put some additions into the Dum Sum I had.  It's located in the Scarboro Village Plaza which is extremely busy as one of the main spots of Chinese food during Lunch and Dinner.  If you come at…More »

Weird name for a Chinese place, YES I agree. Can't find this place online anywhere so I'm just going to use what I read from their sign.

Next to MOO, we walked in at NOON behind a few young gentlemen so it must be open for business, right?  It was…More »

Not as much BBQ in the Traditional sense.
Does Kebabs count in your world of BBQ?
If it does, there's plenty of choices here.

Seasoned the Northern Chinese way.
Flavours of spices such as cumin seeds, chilis.
Think of it like a Chinese BBQ Rub.

If you're fluent in Canadian, that's perfect but if you're Chinese like myself you'll actually be a little disoriented at this Chinese Restaurant.  Maybe it's the Pan Asian Bistro theme that did it.…More »

The Food is Meh to A-OK at best.
