Best Toronto restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Donlands Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

I think most folks have tried Domino's Pizza at least once but not every store is created equal. In particular, I'm a big fan of this location, near Donlands station on the Danforth. Atmosphere gets a 4 star - it's a small store, enough for a counter and a few chairs for customers to pick up their pizzas. No frills but where they excel is in their pizza prep and general customer service. Each time I've gone in to order pizza, the staff always wash their hands before making the pizzas (I know this should be standard but let's face it, I've seen places where gloves are reused and handwashing just doesn't happen). Staff are also consistently polite and professional with customers and there is a notable rapport among coworkers which I appreciate. Delivery staff are also pleasant and polite. Pizza always comes hot and well made. No issues ever. For folks who have never had a Domino's Pizza, their standard pizza has a thick soft crust. It's easy to chew for folks who may struggle with a harder crust. The standard pizza sauce is a tomato based sauce and some might find it a bit zesty/spicy. You can always change it up for a marinara sauce base (extra cost) which is milder and a bit sweeter. Generally speaking, toppings are quite generous. Images feature a pepperoni and bacon pizza and a pepperoni and pineapple pizza with standard sauce on both. There are several toppings to choose from, both meat and veggie, and is pretty much what you'd expect from a pizza place. Note: those who like steak/beef on their pizza - this is probably the one topping that I find inconsistent. Sometimes, I get it and there is a reasonable amount of beef. Other times, it's barely noticeable. Given that there is an extra cost for this topping, I now no longer get this - not worth it for the inconsistency here. Main reason for choosing this Domino's location - good service and good handling of the pizza prep. Pizzas are also consistently good especially if you want some easy comfort food and don't feel like cooking.

Pizza here beats the ones in Europe! The crust is, like, totally awesome, loaded with more toppings, and the service is way friendlier. 😁🍕 And, most importantly, you're eating pizza, not just flour with some dough dip, you know. 👌 They don't skimp on ingredients, and every time I check, they've got some sweet deals going on. Definitely recommend stopping by and grabbing a bite! 😜

While I can't speak to the atmosphere of the store because I've only ordered for delivery, I can tell you that consistently the quality of the pizza here is outstanding. It is always piping hot, exactly how I ordered it, fresh and delicious. On top of that the drivers who deliver are absolutely lovely. I cannot say enough about the customer service here as well. Consistently perfect, every single time.

This dommies is perfectly what it’s supposed be. Mediocre pizza quick and cheap. Workers always friendly and helpful here, never had any problems!

Very good pizza chain, delivery was fast and fresh. Very simple two pizzas I ordered. Medium cheese and extra Large Pepperoni pizza. Ordered thru the app, can’t complain. Nothing better then some pizza on a Friday night. 41 dollars was the total with 5 dips. I would say that’s reasonable.

Ive been coming here since high school and recently started going back. Same owner and same good food! Lunch special is only $13 with a drink and the food is always hot and fresh. The portions are very large, I never end up finishing my meal.

Great ambiance, excellent food and friendly staff. A nice place to dine in with your family and friends. Highly recommend the salt and pepper ribs and Hakka style fried rice!!

If you enjoy Hakka food, Danforth Dragon does not disappoint. Have been ordering here for 5+ years and the food, service, and value are consistently great. IMO their chilli chicken is one of best in the city.

Just ordered from this restaurant for the first time, and just wow amazing. The food was extremely tasty, portions are spot on, and the packaging was clean. Will definitely order from this restaurant again. Items: Chilli Chicken, Manchurian Mushroom, and Singapore Chow Mein (they made this a vegetarian version of the chow main after asking if they could do that for me)

I’ve been getting pizza here since the 90s when Angelo was the owner. Same pies except stingy on cheese now, get extra cheese. Solid 4.5. My photo was taken after we ate two slices in the car on way home 😂. Just can’t resist. Medium house special (pep, onions, green pepper, mushrooms & bacon) with extra cheese $33 (cash only). Excellent old school pizza, consistent with pies all the time. Get well done. I still cook it a bit in a 425° oven for 7 minutes. But that’s personal choice. Cheaper for pickup then delivery.

Whether its the Friday night pizza tradition, or a family get together, we look no further than Danforth Pizza. My parents have gone here since they were kids, and I'm happy that my kids and I are now part of the tradition. LARGE HOUSE SPECIAL, SEE YOU IN 20!

OMG. Literally the BEST TASTING Pizza in Toronto. I’ve lived here for 13 years now, Why am I just learning about this place?! I’m a HUGE FOODIE and I love flavour and when I walked in, the ingredients were displayed with freshness and I just KNEW I had to have some. Although I did not have cash, the Marsales grocery store next door does cash back so I went over and I am so glad I did. The pizza didn’t make it home. I ate half on the subway ride home. The woman inside said I’m going to love it because it’s made with so much LOVE and she was right. Thank you guys for being around Try this place, you won’t be disappointed.

Good option for pizza with great taste. The owner is very respectful . Great service and pizza is made in front of your eyes. Tried Bianca with roasted garlic dip and cane cola. They take only Cash and has ATM inside.
Jainil Raja - a year ago

Went a while back and ordered for pick up and thought it was super fresh and delicious! Still was crispy on our way back home! The Butcher pizza was devoured in seconds by the meat eaters in my home and The Bianca was super fresh and filling, I enjoyed tasting the garlic and their arugula. Thank you so much!! So tasty!!

Love it always. Every dish we order from this place is lip smacking. We love their bihari kebab and sheekh kebab. Also their naan is very soft. I personal love their tarmarind chutney which they provide along with the kebab and salad. Also you can try their mango lassi, which is also very tasty. We also ordered their beef keema matar which my husband loved. Its a authentic Pakistani restaurant. I have been 3 times and this place had never disappointed me. Will make sure to try their bangladeshi outlet also. Very much recommended.

I've been coming here since the mid 90s. The quality of food is amazing. The naan come out of the tandoori oven all gooey and soft.

Ordered from Uber eats. Got chicken karahi, chicken biryani and plain naan. Overall food was good. Egg in biryani was too overcooked with a grey yolk. Naan and karahi were 8/10
Walking Talking Cupcake - 2 weeks ago

The food is beyond amazing here! The tandoori chicken which is cooked in a tandoor is phenomenal it gives it a very delicious taste, the chicken or beef biryanii rice, the channa masala, the samosas, the fresh nann, and the mango lassi! Also, the gentleman at the front is always welcoming and friendly.

Makkah Restaurant is a true gem for authentic halal Pakistani cuisine. The brain fry and kharai chicken were absolutely delicious, bursting with flavors.

Bonus points to Ha Gow for being the only dimsum and dumpling spot in the area... and they make it fresh and by hand! Stopped by for lunch and got a bunch of stuff. My favourites were the har gow (plump shrimp, tasty coating), scallop dumpling (great texture and conteasts in taste), bbq pork bun (hefty bun, tender pork, generous sauce), and for dessert the sesame balls (sticky bean paste, good fry). Place is simple yet clean and spacious. Pruces are reasonable. Service is quick and pleasant. Between all those things and the authentic tasting dim sum and dumpling, I get why this place has been around for over a decade.

Had take out for two dishes; Chef Suggestion #6 Eggplant with spicy sauce & minced pork 鱼香茄子 ($15.99), R7 Fried Rice Noodle with beef 干炒牛河($16.75) Food was ready on time and pick up process was smooth. I liked rice noodles were very lightly seasoned but noodles were all stuck together. Eggplant was flavourful, not too spicy. Went well with my own rice. Pirtion size was just big enough for two people.

Not worth your money. Almost $6 per dim sum and just mediocre. The siu my were not even wrapped with yellow wraps. Never have I been to a restaurant where they hand you packages of sauce. Why couldn't the server put it in a dish? The deep fried wonton was not crispy and with a dime size shrimp. The only good thing from this restaurant was the green tea.
H Y (Melon) - a year ago

We had such a wonderful experience getting dim sum from Ha Gow dim sum house last week! I have a food allergy to onion and garlic and they really went out of their way to make sure the food would be safe for me to enjoy. Everything was so fresh and delicious, and when I picked up the food, they even had another menu for me with notes on it showing the things I could safely order the next time. That is some wonderful customer service! Thank you so much guys, everything was delicious and I will be back again soon, and tell all my friends about you!

It's really interesting to eat in a 90's-style place. 😋 This spot has been around since 1964. The decor and menu seem unchanged over the years. 😳I'm glad I had the chance to visit such a place and try Greek-style fast food. It's cheap and tasty, 🤤😊I recommend it 👌
Zaklina - 2 months ago

Delicious quick bite in Greek Town! The specials offered by the shop give them a pleasant range of items to try if you're not too certain about what to get! The food itself was delicious, freshly made, and filling. The tzatziki was garlicky, and the chicken and pork were nice and thoroughly cooked. The pricing is also very reasonable and makes them highly competitive! The two of us ate for $25 (and a few more cents)! You can hardly find prices like that elsewhere! Now for the more negative side of things... The restaurant itself doesn't seem to have gotten a proper cleaning or uplift in a while so it appears more rundown than it actually is, so that might dissuade some but rest assured they are nice and are clean. But the initial perception is of a smudgy place. It is also a bit crammed! The aisles especially make it so that people have to squeeze by you, and if it gets busy then the pile up near the till and pickup area makes it a bit awkward. Also, they only do cash only! This is such a big miss in today's world but they do have an ATM ready for withdrawals - which I'm sure has a fee attached. So, I'd recommend you getting one of the specials as a takeaway instead of sitting in until they upgrade/update the place! Don't forget to bring cash!

Square Boy is your local burger joint that brings you back to better and simpler days. Come if you like burgers, fries, onion rings but you know what's even better? Their homemade burgers. At $6.00 each, these homemade burgers are hefty and delicious, made on a charcoal grill. They're bigger than their standard burger and in my humble opinion, the far superior option. Featured in the images is their homemade burger. Note: one of the images shows the homemade burger with toppings made more visible (bite taken, with all the fixings and extra tomatoes) Toppings are free, at no extra cost. There are other franchise chains that allow you to top your burger but this homemade burger puts them all to shame. They have plenty of other food options including roasted chicken with Greek salad as well as souvlaki on a pita. Let's be clear, Square Boy gets 5 stars for the genre of food they serve. It's simple, it's not pretentious, it's quick, and it's just easy when you need a good, filling, satisfying bite. Square Boy is also a little easier on the wallet than most other fares. You can get a generous half chicken with fries or salad for $12, a chicken souvlaki on pita or bun with fries for $9, or a regular burger combo with fries and pop for $6.50. What also never ceases to amaze me is how seamless and efficient the teamwork is at Square Boy. People call in to place orders for pick up, others line up to pay and order and at all times, you hear orders being called out for cooking, orders lined up in queue while food is prepped, and that human staff team are doing it all like a well oiled machine running on autopilot. It's really quite fascinating. Regulars come in and have a good banter while placing their orders. People sit inside at the little booths having a good chow down. In the warmer months, there's also seating outdoors. Need parking? There's a parking lot right beside Square Boy. One last note: Square Boy is cash only. There is an ATM machine that you can use inside the machine. So, if you're in the area, take a pit spot and visit Square Boy - try the homemade burger - a personal fave!

Classic restaurant that's been on the Danforth since the 60s. Really nostalgic feels walking in here like a time capsule!The food takes you back in time... basic and delicious! We got the classic burger but the chicken seems like a big hit!
Richard Huang - 6 months ago

Worth Trying. Turns out there's a couple of these around Toronto with the same signage, same menu, same everything. Except I'd say this is one of the lesser ones in terms of quality and the annoying fact they're cash only. Home burger is the one you want to get, as it's a quarter pounder patty. They don't serve lettuce here for some reason. Fries are worse than the other locations (they're not actually formally related). The patty here is less meaty, has a closer texture to a hot dog than a beef burger. There's one at Eglinton and one near Yonge Steeles. Limited seating, limited parking onsite. Cash only.

Wow I had such delicious and satisfying meal ☺️ I ordered the Karaage Ramen (karaage was put on the side, which I prefer) and it was so yummy. Usually when I have Ramen, the broth tends to be on the saltier side, but this was a perfect blend of smooth and rich flavors. You can really feel and taste the care and love the chefs put into the food. The atmosphere of the restaurant was really relaxing too! And the service was excellent 👌 ahh overall I'd recommend visiting this quiet, kawaii, and cozy little spot on Danforth!! You won't regret it ❤️❤️

Lovely, warm atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed the veggie croquettes and Niku ramen (sliced beef and onions). Also they have a selection of cheesecakes for $5- took home and enjoyed yam cheesecake (not pictured).

Food - Their menu has the standard japanese food you usually see at others. There are a few items that have their own twists, such as the teriyaki fries. I got the dynamic roll, and unexpectedly, it was larger than I was used to. I prefer smaller rolls to fit into my mouth. However, I didn't mind the largeness. It did taste good, nothing crazy but above the average. For the price, it was a little much. If you can share it, it would be better bang for your buck. The presentation was nice, and overall, I would come back if I was in the area. Service - The server was friendly and professional. Food came out quickly, so there was nothing to complain about here. Ambiance - I always appreciate it when the restaurant takes care of decorating. They have a bunch of japanese artwork and knick knacks. Lots of wood and an outside patio. It's near the subway and clean. Overall, it's not bad, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

It's nice! After i came here, I had looking for delicious chickens all time. And I arrived! This is best in my toronto life! Franchises chicken restaurants never make like these.
SOOJIN Jung - 6 months ago

Food - The fries I got surpass my expectations. It definitely didn't match the interior. I enjoyed the spices, and the amount they gave for the price was more than fair. Service - There was only one staff member at around 9 ish, so the service was a bit slow. Please have someone to help him. The singular staff was kind, helpful and professional.
Lucy Nguyen - 10 months ago

Tried the fried chicken, wings, burger and fries. Food tasted really good, no complaints there. Only thing is, the prices are a bit high for what it is. Also nice seating inside, looks newly renovated.

We ordered fire chicken burger, mushroom burger, and crazy burger. Mushroom burger was good, fire chicken with spicy spices, not bad at all. Crazy burger with double patties.... onion between patties..full with different kind of cheeses and bacon strips. Too bad i felt a bit salty for me. it was so GOOD!!! Add 3.99 each burger for combo. Too bad only fries and drink. If they can have other choice of combo I'd even better. Service: very friendly service but not enough waiter as he has a cook inside and he needs to manage take put order, and dine in order. However, slow but still good as he does eye around and make sure all customers are being served. Environment: if it is a bar, too bright and too soft. Wooden design, customers feel so comfortable. Purple chairs, customers don't want to leave. Good place to chat with friends. Parking: you can park outsider. Make sure you park and pay. I saw city patrol around couple of time. Notes: not many tables there. You may need sometimes to place order. So I believe disability friendly. I saw a dog in a stroller, too. If you like burger, give it a try.

Crazy Burger & Bar is a true culinary delight! From the moment you step in, you're welcomed by an eclectic vibe that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is a wild adventure of flavors, offering a diverse range of burgers that cater to every taste bud. From classic comfort to innovative twists, each burger is a masterpiece. What makes Crazy Burger truly stand out is the commitment to quality. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients are evident in every bite, making each dish a celebration of flavor.

I had read a few reviews about Crazy Burger and decided to drop in for a takeout burger. I have passed by this restaurant many times as I live very close to it and LOVE good burgers. The atmosphere is nice and cleanliness is apparent. This is a place where you bring friends, family or even a date. Good seating area. I ordered the Bacon Beast and was really impressed. The flavours were excellent, the bun was fresh and toppings also fresh. This is not a typical fast food restaurant. They take the time to produce a quality experience. There is something on the menu for everyone. I suggest bringing your appetite with you as there are some pretty substantial burgers on the menu. AND, a fairly large meal won’t break the bank.

We found this place by google search when we started craving for some nice burgers. We were visitors from New York, so we were super skeptical of food in Toronto since we didn’t have much of a good experience with it in general. But this place hands down was the best burgers we had and overall the best food we had in 4 days of us visiting Canada! Absolutely delicious, absolute beautiful serving of food, beautiful atmosphere and amazing service. Our server was very respectful, very caring and making sure we all had everything we needed. We definitely recommend. As foodie people our entire circle of friends said that this was one of the best burgers they had. Try it and you will not regret!
