Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Best Vietnamese sandwich (Banh Mi) in the GTA!! I've also tried their other pre-packaged takeouts, including the vermicelli and they are all so delicious.
They've raised the price from $1.50 to $1.75 to $2 now for the small size, but I still go all…More »
2. Goldstone Noodle Restaurant

Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
Ok, the thing is, their BBQ Pork on rice is just phenomenal.
And apparently the secret is:
1. Get takeout
2. Call ahead
If you do this, you eliminate having to sit through their crappy service AND you don't have to tip for said crappy service.

Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Side dishes in Korean restaurants here in Toronto vary in size, quality, and quantity. Here at Seor Ak San, they give you good and plenty. I loved all the side dishes they gave us, especially the pickled cucumber and jap chae, but I ate almost…More »
4. Nak Won
On Nak Won's website, it claims that it is supposed to have opened on July 4th. I still recall some time early August, I walked by this location and it was not opened. I have a tweet to prove it.
When my friend and I walked by today, we discovered…More »
5. Dim Sum King Seafood Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 1G6
(416) 551-3366
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
Three-star for the food, but one added star for the wide variety and cheap price.
Every dimsum item you can ever dream of is available here - which makes this place very very authentic. Unfortunately, the slowness of the push carts and the lack of…More »
6. Kim Bo Restaurant
It's a tad hard to describe the food here since I don't really understand the language but my friend tried this place, loved it, and took us here. We started with the wrapping your own rice paper rolls with beef cooked in a hot broth, then with…More »
7. Sichuan Garden Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 2G3
(416) 593-6265
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
There's a real garden in Sichuan Garden as soon as you walk in, but then theres no water below the bridge, which makes me wonder if this restaurants has changed hands since it opened or if the owners just got lazy.
We ordered:
- dan dan noodle: a bowl…More »
8. Aji Sai Japanese Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5V
(416) 603-3366
We went there for lunch and their selection is a lot smaller, but the price is also a lot cheaper. For 12.99 you can get all kinds of special rolls, nigiri, hot foods, dessert, starters, etc.
The only thing that I thought was missing that made me sad,…More »

Categories:

Asian Fusion
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Queen Street West
I feel a bit bad about giving this small place a 3-star when everyone has given it mostly 5 and 4 stars, but I was kinda disappointed with the place.
First, it was hard to find the place. There were no big signs on the top and I wandered around Queen…More »
10. Thai Country Kitchen
Toronto, ON M5T

Category:
Thai
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
My biggest problem with this place is the flies. So many of them.
WTF
The pad thai was really tasty, but the beef was jerky.
The penang curry was mediocre at best, the chicken was also very hard.
Each dish was 8.95 (9.95 if you order the seafood…More »
11. Asian Legend
Toronto, ON M5T 1G7
(416) 977-3909
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Downtown Core
I think Asian Legend made a very smart business decision when they decided to pander their $15 discount card in their restaurants, because every time someone asked me to go eat in an asian place, we'd end up at Asian Legend, as they get the discount.…More »

Toronto, ON M5T 2E9
(416) 977-1128
Category:
Dim Sum
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Literally all day good dimsum. The price isn't really the cheapest ($2.40/dish), and it isn't the best dimsum you can find in Toronto, in fact, some of which can be a little bland. But being able to have legitimate dimsum any time during the day or…More »

Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
After clubbing, most of my friend disperse to either Pho 88 or this place, which is actually called "train head" in Chinese. For some reason, I always end up at Pho 88 instead.
I visited here for the first time this weekend and was a bit surprised…More »

Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
I'm upgrading this place to 3 stars for a couple of reasons.
I came back again and tried their pho, it was good.
I tried their deep fried spring rolls, it was good.
Price is reasonable, especially compared to Pho Pasteur down the street.
Still pretty…More »

Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Kensington Market
Did I really just spent $20 in a pho restaurant? But all I did was order a bowl of pho and vietnamese coffee....
I walked in and there's one old asian man wiping a nasty spill on a large table. Did the table look clean after he wiped it? No. But he…More »

Toronto, ON M5T 2E5

Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Chinatown, Downtown Core
What I don't understand is why they would make this place look so nice, and then not maintain it. I remember the first time I came here, I was thoroughly impressed. It's nice to know that you could have the same quality of pho without having to share…More »
17. Ajisen Ramen
Toronto, ON M5T 2G2
(416) 977-8080
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Kensington Market, Downtown Core
Service is extremely poor, food is mediocre. If I want to go eat ramen in downtown Toronto, this place would be my last choice. I mean, their ramen is on par with the rest of the Aijisen chain, but there is so much better out there.

I cant believe I forgot to write a review for this place. Came here about a week ago and it's probably the worst food experience I've ever had in Chinatown.
Located in the lower level, this place is dark and dingy with not many customers (reasonably…More »
