One Star Washouts

I don't give out single-star reviews very often. Here they are.

 1. Sushi On Bloor

515 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y4
(416) 516-3456

Category: Sushi Bars

1.0 star rating
  11/3/2011

I don't give out single stars lightly (note that before this, only 2% of my 469 reviews have been a single star), but I'd give Sushi on Bloor zero stars for their customer service if I could.

I've ordered from them on several occasions -- not because…More »

 2. Grace O'Malley's

14 Duncan St
Toronto, ON M5H 3G8
(416) 596-1444

Category: Pubs

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

1.0 star rating
  2/5/2011

In the 5 years I've been on Yelp, I've only rated 8 businesses 1 star. That's only 2.3% of my reviews. For the statisticians in the crowd, the distribution of my ratings are positively skewed. My point is that 97.7% of the time, I'm fairly satisfied…More »

 3. The Guvernment

132 Queens Quay E
Toronto, ON M5A 3Y5
(416) 869-0045

Category: Music Venues

1.0 star rating
  3/21/2011

The Guvernment is Dante's Eighth Circle of Hell. Expensive drinks, overpacked, sweaty, and stuffed to the gills with college kids loaded on the substances that college kids do. (Though we can't hate on that, we were all in college once, too). Still,…More »

 4. Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark

213 W 42nd St
New York, NY 10036
USA
(877) 250-2929

Category: Performing Arts

Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Theater District

1.0 star rating
  2/12/2012

No. Just no. Please, no.

I actually hadn't read much of the press surrounding the show and didn't know much about it, other than it was supposed to be the most expensive Broadway production, and that the stunts tended to be accident prone. But when…More »

 5. Ho-Lee-Chow

175 Dundas St E
Toronto, ON M5A
(416) 465-3333

Categories: Fast Food, Chinese

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

1.0 star rating
  9/12/2010

I am starting a campaign to replace the interjection "Holy Cow" with "Ho Lee Chow" -- but only for crappy things. Example: "Ho Lee Chow! Check out the muffin top on that chick!" or, "Ho Lee Chow! I can't believe he left you at the altar!" or,…More »

 6. Noah's Bagels - CLOSED

220 Broadway E
Seattle, WA 98102
USA
(206) 720-2925

Category: Bagels

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill

1.0 star rating
  6/6/2010

They say that the definition of insanity is repeating the same action over and over again and expecting a different result. If that is true, then I am insane, because every time I go to Noah's Bagels in Capitol Hill my order comes out wrong, and yet…More »

 7. Joe's No Frills

900 Dufferin St
Toronto, ON M4W 1A7

Category: Grocery

Neighbourhood: Brockton Village

1.0 star rating
  8/9/2010

Between the crowds, chaos, and empty shelves, you'd think people were stocking up for zombie apocalypse at No Frills. Either that, or this No Frills location is a TARDIS leading to Soviet Russia. The floor was sticky, the store was generally a mess,…More »

 8. Subway

130 St. George St
Toronto, ON M5S 2E8
(416) 591-1647

Category: Sandwiches

Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core

1.0 star rating
  12/9/2010 First to Review

While it is obvious that one doesn't go to Subway to nosh on gourmet sandwiches, there are certain things one expects from the fast food chain experience. Stuff like consistency. Or, perhaps, not running out of stuff like... cheese or, all breads…More »

 9. La Cage Aux Sports

114 rue St-Paul est
Montréal, QC H2Y 1G6
(514) 288-1115
1.0 star rating
  2/19/2010 First to Review

You know a burger is bad when you take a bite and think to yourself, "Wow. I've had hospital food better than this. In fact, I've had vending machine hamburgers better than this." I'm not exaggerating.

We wanted a quick, simple pub grub meal for our…More »

3600 Southcenter Mall
Tukwila, WA 98188
USA
(206) 214-0180

Category: Cinema

1.0 star rating
  5/30/2010

I've been to a few movies here, but after my experience last week seeing Iron Man 2, I probably won't go ever again. Some idiot family brought their toddlers (yes, more than one) to the movie, and the kids babbled the ENTIRE time, despite repeated…More »

 11. Terroni - CLOSED

1 Balmoral Ave
Toronto, ON M4V 3B9
(416) 925-4020

Categories: Italian, Pizza

Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park

1.0 star rating
  12/30/2010

Swung by tonight half starved and craving pappardelle, only to find that this location is closed/moving until 2011, a change that isn't reflected on their website or anywhere else. NOT COOL. UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE, TERRONI. Grr.

 12. Karma Martini Lounge & Bistro

2318 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98121

Categories: Lounges, Thai

Neighbourhood: Belltown

1.0 star rating
  6/10/2007

Bad food, and THE WORST service I've ever had in Seattle. My husband, friend, and I came to Karma during happy hour on a Friday night. Although the place was busy, it wasn't super crowded. Our server (possibly the owner) was inattentive and seemed…More »
