Ridonckulousness! (Oh no you di'int?!)

1. Captain John's
I have very few restaurants on my "banned" list. Captain John's is one of them. I used to work across the street, and would have paid an arm and a leg for a quality restaurant steps away. One can only go to Harbour Grill so often.
Anyways.. the…More »
2. Mayflower Motel
DO NOT ENTER!!!!!!! Heed my warnings. Turn back or face the consequences with your life.
I was in desperate need of a room. I had been participating in an event in Waterloo which pretty much took out every hotel from there to Cambridge. It was…More »

4. Thai One On
This is one of the few places that has landed on my banned list, and that's a tough thing to achieve. The sad part was it really had nothing to do with the food. Taste wise, the food is okay for a fast food take out joint.
I used to work nearby and…More »
5. Future Shop
Trying to get these people to apply their price match policy was like pulling teeth. I understand they have to guard against fraud, but the customer service rep outright lied several times to get me to leave.
1) Would not match price product because…More »

Toronto, ON M5H 1K5
(416) 599-5200
Categories:
Seafood,
Cajun/Creole
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
I used to love Big Daddy's. I'd come here and order up and share a bunch of appetizers. For me it was like a creating a faux dim-sum experience.
This time around however, they had a price fix menu. I brought a friend here for her first time and…More »
7. Thee Asian Kitchen - CLOSED
It's now closed... thank you.. don't come again.
It's now a Congee something or rather.

9. Hanoi 3 Seasons
Review on the Run:
It was more like running in molasses!
To be fair, we went as a medium sized group (UYE) on the same night another large group was there. It took 45+ minutes for our food to arrive after a long time before our server even took our…More »
10. Sprout
Toronto, ON M4V 1K6
(416) 929-2541
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Review on the Run:
I'd give my left arm for an authentic Pho place to be around here. Unfortunately Sprout is a very dumbed down version of the real stuff. The food isn't aweful, but the Pho consists of a few pieces of sliced beef flank or a choice…More »
11. Mainsha
Nooooo.. senior superman no home.
Unfortunately the $2.50 Jerk Chicken just wasn't worth it, I tell you what. I've been dying to find a great Jerk place near me for the last five years now, and this place wasn't it.
This dive located in the former…More »
12. The Coffee Shop
Las Vegas, NV 89136
USA
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: The Strip
I admit it, I have a Pho addiction, and after a long session at the poker table I was hankering for some! Even though I know there's a perfectly good Pho 88 it was unfortunately off the strip, and I was already stuck in the TI Poker room.
I'm…More »

It's been a long time since you left me
I didn't mean to, make you cry
I didn't mean to, disappoint you
I didn't mean to, tell you lies
And after all that, we have been through
Won't you let me, tell you why
One more try
I didn't know how much, I loved you

14. Sassafraz Restaurant
Review on the Run:
The first time I was at Sassafraz was during summerlicious. Overall I was fairly disapointed. The Watermelon salad, was.. well watermelons and a sprig of mint and red onions.
For the main I had a red curry pork tenderloin. You had…More »
15. Sushi Gen
Toronto, ON M4T 1Z6
(416) 921-3388
Category:
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
Review on the Run:
With all the sushi options in a 1 block radius (it's nutty how many there are!! 2 East of Yonge, 1 West of Yonge, 2 South of St. Clair, 2 North of St Clair, including Sushi Gen) this one doesn't cut it.
I deem these places fast food…More »

Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Yonge and St. Clair, Deer Park
If you're looking for a relatively healthy fast food option, there aren't too many choices in the neighbourhood, or anywhere in general. I do come here for the slightly over priced "bangkok" burrito (Brown Rice, Roasted Chicken, Carrots, Cucumber,…More »

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth

Oh ... sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be

And now I know how Jennifer K felt

18. Da Fu Seafood Cuisine
Review on the run...
Wow talk about blah. Crappy service, crappy food.. But it was cheap. Me and my extended family went out here on a weekend, and everything was just bland, greasy and meh. It took forever for them to take our order, then forever…More »
19. Go For Tea
Might as well go for tea as nobody hurts, and nobody cries
Might as well go for tea as nobody drowns and nobody dies
It makes me thirst for love.
While it's true nobody else cries or dies, I cry a little from the attitude the servers all provide. If I…More »

Recently updated lists from Tony F.
Omnomeriffic Yum! (TM) (58)Ok these are some of my favourite places in the GTA... my places of yum. |
Date night (48)A little pre bow-chica-bow-bow action. |
ROTD (6)OK, since all the cool kids have a ROTD list. I guess I'll share mine. |
Pho-U (7)Would you like to get edumacated about Pho? Start here. |
Pho-get-about it. (7)All Pho (but great-pho), all the time. |
Meh! (46)I'm an even keel kind of a guy, I rarely get too excited or overly disapointed about things. SO here's my list of places of meh. |
Lyrical Miracals (24)I'm so ill'n hoping that you'd be chillin' |
Toronto Golfer's Not So Ultimate List. (15)This is pretty much the list of places you'll find me during the weekends. Whether it's the driving range or a round of golf, bring your clubs and your swing.Note: I'm a mid-high handicapper and am just not as picky as serious low handicappers. As a weekend duffer, as long as the conditions aren't horrible, or the course is not so poorly designed (i.e. having balls land near you at the tee box) I'm okay with it. Be FORE warned, it's an addictive sport. |
Chinese BBQ (6)Places to get your roasted pork, chicken, duck, some char-sui marinated pork, and if you're lucky a bunch of other items like bung (?!?!) fried smelt/ talapia or tofu.I seriously couldn't go more than a month without some Chinese BBQ. It practically cost me a relationship when someone wanted to turn vegan after seeing a whole roasted pig hung up. You know who I chose to stick by.. yes the piggy. |
