OMNOMNOM thai + viet cuisine

I know thai and viet cuisine are very separate from one another - but for some reason they are usually grouped together. Here are my picks in (from best to worst) in the GTA!

Okay - so my friend and I were walking around  Ossington the other day just for vintage shopping.  It just so happened that we passed by Golden Turtle and I recalled on BlogTO that it was voted one of the best places for pho.  It was 3 in the…More »

If it wasn't for Yelp, I would have never discovered this place.  My friend and I purposely trekked over here on a Friday night (IN THE RAIN) to go eat this little restaurant.

If you didn't know about the restaurant, you probably wouldn't be able to…More »

I went with my friend on a Tuesday night after a movie.  It was quite packed inside, but we were quickly seated.  Service was okay - but I can see that they were quite busy, so I can't really complain too much.  

My friend ordered the pad thai, and I…More »

The best pho place I've been to was in KW with the same name.  My friend and I have been searchign for a Pho Dau Bo in our area for some good pho.  We've been to three different ones in Kitchener and they have never failed us.  It was great here too!…More »

  Update - 2/22/2011 ROTD 6/17/2011

I came here during their soft opening weekend.  Boy, I missed their food.  

There weren't that many people that day (possibly because not many people knew about their soft opening - all hail twitter!).  It was half an hour before closing time and we…More »

Due to the random power outage in my apartment/area, my parents and I went across the street to grab some food at this restaurant.  We've been here, and the food is never consistent. The first time I went, it was delicious, but I haven't been…More »

Okay - so I'm quite picky when it comes to pho now due to the amazing pho in the KW region at Pho Dau Bo.  I'm boycotting Pho 88 now due to its MSG filled pho, and now I'm going to boycott this place as well.

The soup was extremely oily and the…More »

Located close to Yonge-Dundas Square. Was more of a fancier version of your usual Thai/Viet places. Little bit overpriced for the same food that I know I can get anywhere. Service was great, but it was bizarre how the waiter asked me at the end if we…More »

I've been here before once - with subpar service.

This time, it was horrific.  Okay - first, we had reservations at 12:00 PM under my old coworker's name.  We get to the place, turns out they gave our seats to these other people that were there (they…More »

Inspired by Dishan's Baldwin Village list (http://www.yelp.ca/lis...) - here is my list of the awesome (and not-so-awesome) restaurants that I venture to often on Baldwin Street!

OMNOMNOM ramen (7)

Toronto doesn't seem to have much of a Japanese culture - especially on ramen.  This may be due to the stigma of instant ramen noodles.  Despite all that, I still enjoy my ramen.  Here are some ramen houses that I found in Toronto (including the not-so-great-ones).
