Thomas "still not elite" B.'s Profile

Hair in food. Didn't bring what I ordered. Fries were cardboard tasting. Water is gross. Bugs flying around. Ordered a hot turkey sandwich and received a sandwich with chicken topped with beef gravy. On top of which the chicken was extremely dry and unpleasant to eat. Not very pleased as I brought my girlfriend here for our monthiversary. I took her there in the hopes of being pleasantly surprised. What a mistake. Adding this to my avoid at all costs restaurant list.

I have to update my review. I have to also admit I was extremely disappointed the first time I visited this joint. They must have read my review or something because tonight I was in there with 9 people and the service was as good as it was the night before when I went with just my girlfriend. As I stated in my previous review: the sushi is some of the best I've had and the facilities are a significant step up from what was left by the previous restaurant to occupy this location -- the oriental sun.

Definitely a new favorite in the North Bay area!

It's a fox!

In terms of food this place has a lot to learn from it's thousands of other vietnamese/thai food counterparts across the GTA. I made a point to try as much as I possibly could during my visit which included spring rolls, salad rolls, chicken wings, quail, pho boa (vietnamese beef soup), and pad thai. Of that list the only thing I found to be of outstanding quality was the chicken wings.

The location was nice. A little too cachet for a restaurant I think with it's dark sign and blinded windows. There is certainly room for improvement there but it doesn't hurt the experience.

The service was great. She listened. She charged what the menu said the food cost. So I tipped her well and left happy.

Can't speak for the rest of Brantford as this is really the only restaurant I've been to in the city but in my opinion I'll be saving my Vietnamese/Thai food binge fulfillment until I am in Toronto.

Nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about either. The food was good maybe a little heavy on seasoning though. The service was good meeting the standards at which most people should expect to be served when dinning out but not exceeding those standards. The joint was clean and had obvious flare. I would go back to Fran's.

Seems like a solid hotel. Get some of the best sleeps I've ever had here. Not sure how the pool or workout room are because I haven't been. Nice lounge/bar downstairs for some drinks to help you sleep :P.

It's a gas station lol what's there to say. It's clean and my car hasn't exploded yet from the gas. So far so good.

Had a slice of pizza from here last time I was in town. It was greasy. Typical pizza. But fine. This time I got a panzorotti and the dough wasn't even cooked. Don't feel very good now. Sigh.

This dingy little pasta joint caught me on my blindside. On one hand the facilities are gross, nobody goes there except a few creepy regulars (it seems), and the cook is super awkward, hard to understand, and doesn't listen very well.

The pasta speaks for itself though. I had the Spaghetti Bolognese and it was actually quite good by western spaghetti standards. I even told the cook how I had just returned from a month long trip to Italy and that his spaghetti was quite good. He didn't seem impressed by the compliment. But I intentionally tried to eat mostly pastas while in Italy so I could say which ones were the best and to have a true understanding of good authentic pasta for when I get back home to Canada.

The place is empty even around supper time which implies to me that most people aren't too impressed with the place and I can completely understand how they wouldn't be as I'm a major stickler for the quality of service received while dinning out.

If your around the area and you don't want Panzorotto, Pizza Pizza, or McDicks then maybe step into here and enjoy your awkward yet tasty encounter. Prepare for gas issues later on though.

This place is pretty cool. Apparently its a church or something but I've only ever been to the side that's a small tea house. It's a got a cool atmosphere and pretty cool people who aren't all pretentious hipsters. Check it out some time with some friends. Seems to be a good spot to chill out and with some pals.
