1. Bach Yen
Toronto, ON M4M 1Y3
(647) 347-8160
Categories:
Thai,
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
Have to agree with Eric L.on this one. This place is CLEAN.
The SO and I wanted to give this place a shot since technically it is the closest Pho place to our house. He had Beef Satay, I had Pho Ga (As I do not eat Beef Pho). We then split an order…More »
2. Tofu Village - House of Soon Tofu
Toronto, ON M6G 4B9
(647) 345-3836
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhood: Bickford Park
I have to say that after having Buk Chang http://www.yelp.ca/biz... a handful of times recently, and visiting Owl of Minerva http://www.yelp.ca/biz... , HoSu http://www.yelp.ca/biz... and First Markham's Sogong http://www.yelp.ca/biz... for soon tofu…More »

I think "Yay! I'm a fan" is appropriate.
Just came back from dinner at Tofu Village, and I am… Read more »
3. Chino Locos
Toronto, ON M4L 2P4
(647) 345-5626
Categories:
Mexican,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Leslieville
I am not really one for Burritos. I know that sounds suspect, but I never really got into them. That being said, the Burritos at Chino Locos are ridiculous. Un real, and have completely turned me into daydreaming about burritos and running down Queen…More »
4. Rose Cafe
Toronto, ON M4M 2G9
(416) 406-9906
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Riverdale
Rose cafe is a teeny Vietnamese Cafe on Broadview (in the *other* Chinatown) That has the best Bánh mì in the city. In university, we used to refer to these as "Saigon Buns." Back then, on Spadina you could get them for a $1 a piece, and many a…More »
5. Salad King Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5B 1R8
(416) 593-0333
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
Salad King. I love you. I know you are more "fuzion" than Thai, but I forgive you. Honestly, in my mind you could do no wrong.
A fresh to Toronto (and fresh faced) Jennifer of a decade ago, would frequent the small and no frills location on Gould,…More »
6. Gandhi Cuisine
Toronto, ON M5V 2B5
(416) 504-8155
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
I have been eating Roti at Gandhi for years, except tonight, it seems as if they have made a change.
There is a new sign on the bartop that says something like "You can now order in MILD - MEDIUM - MEDIUM HOT - HOT - HOT TO VERY - VERY HOT"
which I…More »
7. Eat A Pita
What more can you say. $4.50 lunch special in the Y&B neighborhood, made fresh to order with a pop? I get the falafel everytime. It is delicious. They are a little slow, but they make the falafel balls as you order, so its worth it. Always packed…More »
8. Pho Tien Thanh
Toronto, ON M6J 2Y9
(416) 588-6997
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
So everybody (presumably) knows the tale of the Two Phos. Once business parters, the Owners of Tien Thanh and Rua Vang Turtle up the street have since become bitter rivals. Everyone has their favorite and each is unique in their own right.
This…More »
9. Ginger
In university, I used to eat at the Ginger south of here, honestly like 4 times a week. Meal and pop was under $5. That one doesn't exist anymore, but its older grungier brother does, and it is steps from my office.
Ginger isn't epic, by any means,…More »
10. Mi Mi Restaurant
I'm surprised this place doesn't have a better overall rating.
This is THE place we go for Vietnamese. There are so many choices in this neighborhood, and we have tried them all - always returning to Mi Mi's.
I don't eat Pho, but my partner is a bit…More »
11. Pizza Pide
Toronto, ON M4M 1Z1
(416) 462-9666
Well that was a surprise. Always ignoring this inconspicuous pizza place across from G Square, I never realized that in fact, it is not a pizza place at all. They do serve Pizza, but they also serve Pide, a Turkish Flatbread that is really, seriously…More »
12. Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu
Toronto, ON M6G 1L3
(416) 537-0972
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Bickford Park
I love soon tofu. Love it. I also Love Kimchi and those little sweet soy beans. I also love eating places that are cheap and authentic. Buk Chang has some really tasty Soon Tofu, and with only a couple of things on the menu they have a good shot at…More »
13. Ethiopian House Restaurant
I love Ethiopian food, and have sampled Ethiopian restaurants all over the city. Whereas, I still think that *perhaps* Lalibela (West) is the best - Ethiopian House comes in close second. It is not as cheap as Nazarath, or as authentic as Dukem,…More »
14. Rua Vang Golden Turtle
Toronto, ON M6J 2Z2
(416) 531-1601
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Ossington Strip, Trinity Bellwoods, Beaconsfield Village
This is a "Vegetarian pho" biased review.
Golden Turtle gets 4 stars because my SO (pho eater) and I (not pho eater) can both agree on the quality. We like it. It also gets bonus points for having real vegetarian pho. Often (especially in winter) I…More »
15. Ho Su Bistro
Toronto, ON M5V 1Z8
(416) 848-9456
I am SUPER surprised and delighted to be writing this review. i spent a couple days at the MTCC (Convention Center) this week and had some ABYSMAL meals. (watch out for my East Side Marios review). So after today's show, I really wanted some…More »
16. Chino Locos
Toronto, ON M4Y 2C5
(416) 551-7007
Categories:
Mexican,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
If you have read my reviews you know how much i *usually* hate anything fusion. I still do. But for some bizarre reason, mixing two cuisines that sound impossible has actually worked in this case, and well. I certainly see why you could think they…More »
17. Sneaky Dee's
Toronto, ON M5T 1T1
(416) 603-3090
Sneaky Dees is really something. When I was 20 and first moved to Toronto, these were the kind of places I LOVED. Gritty, cheap and full of interesting people, with a lot to look at and general loudness.
Fast forward a decade and Sneaky Dee's…More »
18. The Bagel Stop
Toronto, ON M4W 3G7
(416) 413-0888
Category:
Bagels
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Well, I just finished a "Veggie" Bagel with light garden vegetable cream cheese from Bagel Stop, and as the tomato-alfalfa sprout-cucumber clump affixed itself to cream cheese glob and slid off of the lettuce onto the desk in front of me, I…More »
19. Xe Lua Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 2C2
(416) 703-8330
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
I used to live right by here, and would "train" all of the time. New train is better than Old train for anyone that remembers Xe ula pre-renovations. Once at old Train I asked them to make me bun (vermicelli) vegetarian, just noodles and veg no…More »
20. Biryani House
Toronto, ON M4Y 2P2
(416) 515-1957
Note that there are two businesses named Biryani House, this is the hole-in-the-wall no frills thali place on Hayden St, the other is a more lavish institution near Wellesley. This review pertains to the former.
Biryani House is not bad. Its not…More »
21. Big Sushi
The Annex. Filled with the young-end-of-the-20-somethings , students, and anyone trying to stretch a buck. Easy to do in this neighborhood, especially since most places offer a $5.99 (or close) lunch menu.
I'm not a huge fan of any of them, to be…More »
22. Hue's Kitchen
Hue's is like the newer, slightly prettier sister of Ginger, although just not as good.
Hue's is basically across the road from Ginger on Yonge and shares a very similar menu. (Same owners). The food is decent, and reasonably priced. I have eaten…More »
23. Crispy Roll - CLOSED
Toronto, ON M5V
(416) 599-7997
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
This is another one of my "I am surprised these guys don't have a better overall rating" reviews. I should make a list.
Anyways, as aforementioned.. why not a higher rating? I used to visit CR more often when I lived nearby, and liked it. I visited…More »
24. Tangerine Asian Cuisine
Scarborough, ON M1H 2V6
(416) 289-8885
I had heard about Tangerine from a friend of mine, and then realized it is in the plaza beside my periodontist. So, being stuck in Scarborough, hungry after a tremendously long appointment we decided to grab a bite before fighting rush hour traffic…More »
25. Ginger
************CLOSED, TURNING INTO MENCHIE'S**********
WHAT was that?
I am a Ginger fan, mostly frequenting the Yonge south of Bloor location. On a bicycle ride through the beach yesterday, the SO and I decided to stop to get something to eat. Ginger (I…More »
26. Ritz Caribbean Foods
Just discovered that Ritz has opened a location on Yonge just south of Bloor.
Went in today and it was PACKED. I ordered a Roti with a side scoop of Chana which I could barely eat half of. So delicious! The 4 stars is due to the lunch special $4.99…More »
