See All Lists
Inspired by Dishan's Baldwin Village list (http://www.yelp.ca/list/you-need-to-baldwin-village-it-up-toronto) - here is my list of the awesome (and not-so-awesome) restaurants that I venture to often on Baldwin Street!

Cheap Korean food near the University area?  You can do no wrong.

Considering the fact that I can NEVER seem to find good/cheap food by University of Toronto, this is a savior.  Located down some steps in Baldwin Village, Hana Korean is a small mom…More »

  Update - 8/9/2010

I guess I've been going to a lot more restaurants nowadays and I am expecting more and more as time passes by.  However, Sambuca is still one of the top cheap eats that I like to go to on a nice sunny day after work on the patio.

My friends and I went…More »

So my friend and I were walking around Baldwin Village - and you know when you get to the point where it's like "Man, I've been to every single restaurant here... okay, time to re-try something?"  Yeah - so that was me yesterday.

Last time I went to…More »

I came here today with my co-workers for my farewell party.  Margarita is well known for their margaritas and sangria; however, I didn't have any because I wanted to be at least somewhat coherent in the afternoon.

Service was okay - but we're still…More »

It's a new restaurant on Baldwin Village!  Therefore I had to go.  Apparently, it's been here for quite some time - but I've never have seemed to notice it.

Anyhow, I found the format of the place to be very similar to Sambuca Grill next door.  They…More »

Came here for lunch today - I use to come here quite often, because it's actually one of the better places for a sushi lunch on Baldwin Street.  Considering that it's downtown cheap sushi, I can't complain too much about the quality of it.

It's pretty…More »

Not gonna lie, I feel like I've been spoiled with good sushi/Japanese in the past year so comnig to Etsu was a slight disappointment.

The patio was small, and can fit about three 2-seaters per table.  This wasn't bad considering it was just my friend…More »

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).
