We were craving dumplings.  My friend was hungover, and I was just in the need for Asian food because I hadn't had it for a while (was in Europe for two weeks).

We ended up orderin deep fried pork + chives dumplings; steamed seafood dumplings, and…More »

I don't understand why this is written as "nightlife."  This place is a little restaurant for bubble tea or homestyle Taiwanese food/snacks.  

It's confusing because you can call it by its Chinese name "One Stop Seat" or "Tea Shop"  -- it's a bit…More »

FINALLY!  After many months, my friend and I finally go to meet up to eat at Cafe Michi (seemed like every single time we wanted to go, it ended up being a Monday - and the restaurant is closed on Mondays).

I thought it was closed when we drove up to…More »

About two years ago, my friend introduced me to this place.  "Soon tofu" is a Korean tofu stew served in a stone pot -- something I had never tried.  Ever since I went to this restaurant, I can't get enough of it.

It's an excellent (and I believe,…More »

I had no idea this restaurant existed until my friend and I decided to yelp for sushi near his area!   Friday evening, and I was craving sushi -  the only problem was that we only had half an hour prior to our movie that was going to be on soon.

Went here prior to watching Jersey Boys here for my friend's birthday dinner.  We were quickly seated, and ordered the sushi/sashimi boat and two miso soups.

The miso soup was surprisingly quite good.  No complaints.  

The boat was quite good as well…More »

They have real authentic Korean food, and it's REALLY cheap as well. Had the bi bim bap at the First Markham location - really delicious. The kamjatang at the Yonge and Finch location is AMAZING (and it's opened 24 hours too!) People there are…More »

It was probably -20 degrees Celsius here in Toronto.  My friend and I wanted something nice, warm, and homey in the area.  We were thinking of getting pork bone soup, but we were going to cook some pork bone soup that night, so we decided not to.  I…More »

My friend and I wanted to eat some noodles yesterday evening in the North York area.  So off to Yelp I go!

We ended up at Man Doo Hyang - swayed by the fact that they had handmade noodles.  We both ordered the handmade noodles with traditional Korean…More »

I found this place using Urbanspoon on my BlackBerry.  My friend and I decided to try it out.

The place was slightly tiny, so it was hard to get a nice seat away from the other people in the place.

My friend and I ordered the Miso Ramen.  It was…More »

I use to go to New World millions of times when I was a kid.  It was *the* place that my dad would always want to go to because it was dirt-cheap dim sum.  Then we started to go to "Sam Woo" located at Warden and Steeles because the quality started…More »

My friend told me that this place was great for lunch.  The combos are "totally worth it."  My other friend was craving for sushi, so we decided to go to this restaurant since a) I've never tried it; b) we were in the area; and c) my friend…More »

After passing by this place many times in North York, I finally got to go to Momiji for sushi last night (Friday).

The restaurant decor is nice -- it's nicely lit, with a modern flair to it.  We were placed in the back area because we had a large…More »

This is possibly the best place to get sushi grade fish. I was amazed by how smooth the fish went down when I was eating the sashimi. It's a bit expensive, however, it's totally worth it. The "uni" tasted like butter and the fish did not have the…More »

My brother came back on the weekend from Hong Kong and wanted to "eat anything but Chinese."  So we headed to O&B for brunch on Saturday morning.

Truth be told, we were expecting more selection.  My parents are very picky when it comes to food that…More »

Artisano looks like a nice fancy place when you first walk in - you rare see places like this uptown in North York.  However, when you buy your food, it's such a calm and laid back place to chat with your friends and to go on the Internet (free…More »

It's an interesting mix: Japanese and Thai... But I really didn't enjoy my food at Matsu.  I may have been spoiled with the good food that I've had at AME and at other Japanese restaurants, but this place just wasn't up to my standards.

Sister restaurant of Salad King. It's quite pricier than Salad King, but I think you're more so paying for the ambiance than for the food. The food is pretty much the same that they have at Salad King. If you go there though, I would suggest the Thai…More »

OMNOMNOMs in Vancouver! (13)

I finally took a trip to Vancouver.

I love brunch (& breakfast). (7)

I can sincerely eat brunch all the time.

OMNOMNOMs in Seattle! (19)

I finally went to Seattle, and I ate my little heart out.

OMNOMNOM korean cuisine (14)

Absolutely love Korean food.  Methinks I'm going to move there one day just to eat their food.

OMNOMNOM dumplings (5)

I like dumplings.

OMNOMNOM italian cuisine (10)

i have a strange affinity to pasta. this will be a problem in the future -- the carbs are gonna catch up one day!

OMNOMNOM thai + viet cuisine (10)

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!

OMNOMNOM malaysian cuisine (4)

They need to have more Malaysian restaurants in Toronto.  Just sayin'.

OMNOMNOMs in Baldwin Village (8)

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).
