1. Ding Tai Fung
What more can I add? It's amazing Chinese food.
I recently took a trip with some friends and family to Toronto just to eat the Chinese food there. Of course, we had to hit up the global empire that is DTR, and it definitely delivered. We ordered…More »
2. Smoke's Poutinerie
3.5 stars for my first experience with poutine!!
My friends and I were wandering around downtown Tdot in the cold precipitation of late 2011, trying to kill time before our dinner reservation. A native Toronto-an (?) led us to smoke's poutinerie, and…More »
3. Mei Nung Beef Noodle House
Solid beef noodle soup!
Because I am so deprived of Taiwanese beef noodle soup in Cleveland, I will give Mei Nung 5 stars.
Mmmmm...
We decided that there were 2-3 different kinds of beef noodle soup out there, and this was not the kind with a lighter…More »
4. Royal Ontario Museum
Toronto, ON M5S 2C6
Canada
(416) 586-8000
Category:
Museums
Neighbourhoods: University of Toronto, Downtown Core
Cool looking museum with interesting displays. We went with the regular ticket, no special exhibits.
The dinosaurs were definitely a highlight of the trip! I am totally geeked out by them. I also enjoyed the Africa / Asia / Latin America exhibits and…More »
5. Cho Sun Ok Restaurant
Korean BBQ win.
Good Korean BBQ in the city! I've been here twice; first time was a pretty diverse group of people including some fluent Korean speakers who did their magic (excellent experience), and then second time with brother and boyfriend…More »
6. Foodease Market
Chicago, IL 60611
(312) 335-3663
Categories:
Specialty Food,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhoods: Near North Side, Streeterville, Magnificent Mile
Stopped into foodease for a quick lunch and had an overall good experience. We were looking for lighter, quick, cheaper lunch options without the huge portions. Lots of sandwiches, sushi, and other hot bar items that were overall pretty flavorful and…More »
7. Pizano's Pizza
PIZANO'S YAY!
Take out pizza for the win. We got some on New Year's Eve so that we didn't have to deal with NYE diners, and it was one of the best choices ever. We were torn between the thin crust (b/c of its high reviews) and the deep dish, but we…More »
8. Guu Izakaya
Toronto, ON M5B
Canada
(416) 977-0999
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Our party of 6 came here on a wintry evening during the holidays and we loved it!
We had a hard time finding the location (and even the door)... I'll blame it on the fact that it was night time and raining. But, upon entering the restaurant, we were…More »
9. Tank Noodle Restaurant
Wow... 600+ reviews? I'm really impressed.
I've heard so much about this place and I'm glad I finally got to go. Unfortunately, I came here after I became a pescatarian, so I can't comment on the pho (my friends said it was good though!) I had a…More »
10. Bistrot Zinc
Chicago, IL 60611
(312) 337-1131
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: Near North Side, Gold Coast
Came here New Years Day for brunch. It's a very cute, bright French cafe that seems to attract a lot of people from the neighborhood. I saw waiters / bartenders behind the counter conversing with people about the daily news. There seemed to be an…More »
11. Anatolia Cafe
3.5-4!
I can't believe it's taken me years to get to Anatolia Cafe when it's practically down the street from me. I came here for lunch with a friend, and we were really pleased with the $10 lunch deal!
I had the red lentil soup (deeeelicious) and the…More »
12. Tink Holl Seafood
Came here with yelpers Rachael and Lin. We had a great evening with plenty of time to talk and catch up.
Tink Holl Seafood is located next to the grocery (one of the places I used to shop.) I think it's relatively new and still a work in progress.…More »
13. Mister Brisket
Just commenting on the service because unlike Richard H's prediction, I just recently became a vegetarian (well, pescetarian.)
I came here to pick up a sandwich for my bf to try out, and I have to say that this local establishment is one that I think…More »
14. Lola
4.5! I'll round up to 5 stars.
I had a great time with my bf here. The place has a great ambiance and atmosphere!
Now, onto the food. I've been to Michael Symon's most upscale restaurant only for lunch, and that was several years ago. (I enjoyed the…More »
15. Gus's Diner
Came here for a Saving Cities Brainstorming Session. Overall, I had a good experience. The waitresses weren't phased (fazed?) by our group (12-14 people) and they were pretty efficient.
I had the farmer's omelet -- huge omelet chock full of veggies…More »
16. Tremont Scoops
I like making stops in here with friends--it's a great place to go in Tremont for ice cream after lunch!
The last time I came here, I had mint chocolate chip on a cone. One interesting thing about Tremont Scoops is that you pay based on weight rather…More »
17. Bon Epi Patisserie & Café
Grabbed a peanut bread and sat outside on the patio on an amazing, sunny spring day! I wasn't attracted by too many of the choices there, and it seemed to be fairly empty save for a few families that were out on the patio. However, I was thankful for…More »
18. 85C Bakery Cafe
As a visitor to the SoCal area, I am still amused that there are still LINES out the door to get into this place. I came when 85C opened a few years back and wasn't surprised then... but still? I'm amazed.
The bread is really good here. One of my…More »
19. Rudy's Mexican Restaurant
Good, cheap, Mexican food for this midwestern girl! Yum!
Came here with a friend local to Monrovia for lunch and I had the fish tacos with beans and rice for around $5. The tacos came with lettuce instead of cabbage, but it was still good! I was…More »
20. Carmela Ice Cream
Pasadena, CA 91104
(626) 797-1405
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Pasadena
Very cute ice cream shop with whimsical decor, clean lines, and amazing flavors!
I came here with a friend who loves this place! After sampling a few of the flavors (cucumber sorbet - so fresh and clean!), I asked the girl behind the counter what 2…More »
21. Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle
Los Angeles, CA 90025
(310) 231-7373
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
I came here for a late lunch on a Saturday. After about a 45 min wait, my friend and I were able to sit down and have some delicious tsukemen, which is ramen noodles with a separate dipping broth.
Some of the best parts... the egg was cooked…More »
22. Daikokuya
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 626-1680
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
First of all... 3200 reviews? After seeing the yelp reviews and hearing repeatedly about backfat broth from my bf, I knew I had to come here.
I arrived with some friends at around 6pm on a Sunday evening. We didn't have to wait long--maybe about 15…More »
23. Vinh-Sun BBQ and Restaurant
Boston, MA 02228
(617) 338-1368
Categories:
Chinese,
Steakhouses,
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
4 stars for Vinh-Sun!
I came here with the niece of the owner of the restaurant, so she clued us into what to get. The secret... get off-menu items!
Here's what we got:
- Scallops on a half shell. This was soooo good. I've never had anything like it…More »
24. Gourmet Dumpling House
This place is SUPER popular. We got there right as the crowds were starting to pile in... and it was only 5:20pm. I met up with some friends from Boston here. It was goooood stuff.
One friend who had lived in the LA area later said that Gourmet…More »
25. Crostatas Rustic Pizza
This place is such a surprise! I never would have guessed that this small pizza place on a random corner in the burbs would have some of the most delicious pizza around.
I'm with Rachael N. -- after trying a bunch of places, I think Crostata's tops…More »
26. Sushi Rock
Came here because of Thursday half off sushi night and because I had a gift card. I had a great time with friends, though the sushi was very average.
Sushi Rock caters to a trendy, mainstream crowd and I think the environment is more central to the…More »
27. China Sea Express
Do not be alarmed when you walk in and see patrons eating with knives and forks.
I have to admit that I was a little skeptical at first, but because of strong and highly reputable word of mouth recommendations, I headed to China Sea Express to try out…More »
28. The Juice Bar
Overall pretty good bubble tea, though not particularly mind-blowing. I really appreciate that they use fresh and real fruit -- that is definitely quality and way more healthy and authentic than other places that use powder.
I had a lychee boba and it…More »
29. Trident Booksellers & Café
Boston, MA 02115
(617) 267-8688
Categories:
Bookstores,
Breakfast & Brunch,

Neighbourhood: Back Bay
3.5!
I came here with some wonderful friends and I found this bookstore and cafe to be very charming! We definitely enjoyed our time at a large table in the back of the store.
4 stars for the juices -- I had the body cleanser (cucumber, beet, apple…More »
30. Kelly's Roast Beef
Only in New England can you have fresh seafood doled out as fast food! I came here with my bf and one of our really good friends from college. It's one of the guys' traditions to come to Kelly's anytime they're together in Boston.
We shared the 4…More »
31. Basta Pasta Trattoria
I'm in between 3.5-4 stars.
I can't say that I've had a lot of experience with Basta Pasta, but when I was visiting Boston, I went over to a (new) friend's home for dinner and they catered from this restaurant. The cheese ravioli was pretty good and…More »
32. Monumental Cupcakes
Hmm, I didn't think the cupcakes were too fresh. This might have been because they were brought back to a potluck later that evening, so the freshness might have worn off a little. I think the design of the particular cupcake I had (red velvet) was…More »
33. Big Al's Diner
2.5-3 stars
I'll always remember Big Al's Diner as my neighborhood diner. However, my most recent experience with the food wasn't superb, and this may be because diners just aren't super friendly for vegetarians (pescetarian, technically.)
(Before I…More »
34. Bonbon Pastry and Cafe
Cleveland, OH 44113
(216) 458-9225
Categories:
Desserts,
Breakfast & Brunch,

I'm sad to say that I'm giving my first experience at Bonbon 2-2.5 stars.
When we walked in, I immediately appreciate the large windows, cozy atmosphere, cute decor... it was great to have all that sun coming into the restaurant!
However, despite the…More »
35. L'Albatros
This is just a quick update to my review (see below for more).
In a few words...
the patio during summertime? Warm, cozy, well-populated with cabana-like seating for more relaxed larger parties... it is GREAT.
I had the cod -- really good, a little on…More »

This was a very interesting place! Overall, I liked it.
I'm having an interesting time trying to shape what my experience was like here. First of all, I'm amazed that there was this amazing wildlife and scenery right off of a main road like Green Rd,…More »
