Went to Lai Wah Heen and really enjoyed it. Loved the dishes we ordered — everything was flavorful and nicely done. Service was smooth and friendly, nothing over the top but everything came out well paced and we were looked after throughout the meal. It’s a comfortable place to sit down and have a proper meal without feeling rushed. One really convenient thing is the free 2-hour parking, which made the whole visit much easier, especially in that area. Overall, I had a great experience here. Good food, relaxed service, and a nice atmosphere. I’ll definitely come back next time, and I’d like to try their Peking duck on the next visit.

Amazing experience at Lai Wah Heen! The food was authentic and delicious. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The restaurant atmosphere was elegant and comfortable — perfect for family dinners or special occasions. Highly recommend and will definitely come back again!

Legitimately such a stellar high tea session here. It's a relatively new thing that they do but such a welcome addition. It's not very crowded and you have your own space to yourself. The prices can be brutal based on the portion, but the quality is there and is reasonable for high tea. The service is very attentive and knowledgeable. The food is legit good. The dimsum ends at 3:30ish, so time it to get there so you can get high tea but also the prawn dumplings (the fish) to get it all in one go. They're pricey but you've gotta try it once, right? Really delicate skin and quite tasty. I was also a fan of the Norwegian cod roll. Everything else is good to great.

Everything was perfect. The staff were very accommodating and the service was impeccable. All of the dishes were not only a work of art but it was also absolutely delicious. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday and they really went above and beyond to make it special including a special foie Gras appetizer and some complimentary desserts. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious asian dinner with a high-end flair.

I loved everything about the cuisine here. You can really see the care and detail in the food, the presentation, and the atmosphere. Everything made the experience feel special. Jeff was especially amazing. He is so kind, welcoming, and attentive. He made sure we had a wonderful time from beginning to end. If you want to feel truly welcomed and well taken care of, definitely come here and ask for Jeff!

Soooo delicious! Like everyone else says, the service is incredible! They are able to accommodate all dietary restrictions. I appreciated the vegetarian protein options including tofu or mushrooms. My partner is gluten free and they could have ANYTHING on the menu! They were able to enjoy French toast! The juices are also super delicious.

If you're near one of the many hospitals in the University ave area, this is a great spot. Love the home chef cosy vibe in what's essetially a bustling student mall. Karine's stands out among the eateries here, from the food, vibes to the quality of preparation and service. Prices are reasonable for the quality that's offered here. There's a lot of thought that has gone into this, even something as simple as presenting the sauces is nicely done. My partner ordered the spinach feta omelette and I got the breakfast special. Good portion of fruit. The quality of meat in the breakfast special was really good. I look forward to trying the baked goods sometime.

Wow, what an absolute hidden gem tucked inside a food court that looks frozen in 1994 — and honestly, that’s part of the charm. It’s the kind of nostalgic food court that reminds you of being a kid having lunch with your parents. If they ever renovated it, it would probably lose all of its character. We stopped at Karine’s in the Grange food court and were completely blown away by the food, the service, and how quickly everything was made fresh. Within just a few minutes, we had a full made-from-scratch breakfast in front of us. We ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict and the regular all-day breakfast, and both were absolutely superb. The coffee was terrific too — one of those cups you immediately want a refill of. We also grabbed a couple of butter tarts, including a plain butter tart with no raisins or extras — the best kind. Absolutely incredible. Definitely one of those “we’ll absolutely be back” spots.

Great food, generous portions, and excellent value for the price. The owners are friendly, the service is always quick, and the food is consistently fresh and high quality. A hidden gem inside The Village by the Grange food court!

My friend and I ordered the salmon omelette ($17.99) and the muffin with fruit ($10, special offer). Both were great value and tasted wonderful, with a comforting homemade flavor. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, and the fruit was fresh. Highly recommended.

Have eaten here several times with extended family and although always busy when with a group you forgive quality in favour of the company you are with. Yesterday my wife and I went for dinner, whilst not busy when we arrived service was slow to seat us. We ordered 3 dishes, calamari, Chinese rice and Kung Pao Chicken. The calamari hugely disappointing- too tough to adequately eat … the kung pao chicken meant to be spicy lacked heat. Not sure I would return.

Can't believe I didn't know about this place earlier - it's probably now one of my favorite Hakka Spots. We got the Garlic Wonton Noodles, Salted Fish Fried Rice, Chili Chicken (Dry), Soft Shell Crab and Tiger Shrimp in Lobster Sauce. Everything tasted so good and the service was also friendly.
Kunal Biswas - 2 months ago

We had the Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice, Hakka Wonton Garlic Noodle, Spice & Pepper Soft Shell Crab, Shrimps in Lobster Sauce, and Chili Chicken. Everything was yummy, although it was a bit salty for my taste. And the service was amazing!

Probably my favorite haka Chinese food in town. The chili chicken here is incredible. I really haven't had a bad dish here. A lot of people tend to miss this as it's on the second floor and the signage isn't very clear, but once you're inside it's a fairly spacious place. Service was great too. Too, I went here after a few years. The only complaint I'd make is that the quality of the chili chicken has gone down a bit. It used to be more flavorful and was served on a sizzling plate from the kitchen. Having said so, was still great

Huge thanks to Yueh Tung Restaurant for being such gracious hosts to NAAAP Toronto and 30+ guests for an evening that served exactly what the name promised — family-style. The Hakka Chinese cuisine here isn't just well-executed — it's infused with family legacy and decades of passion. The pork belly baos and spring rolls were next level. The kind where you tell yourself "just one more" and suddenly you're doing quiet math about how many are left on the table and whether anyone noticed you already had four. But more than the food, Yueh Tung gave us something rarer: a space where the stories flowed as freely as the tea, and the energy around the table matched the warmth coming out of the kitchen. This is what it looks like when the restaurant becomes part of the story. Grateful for the generosity, the hospitality, and a room full of people who left a little fuller in every sense of the word. The food disappeared. The spring rolls disappeared faster. The only thing we didn't finish were the conversations.

We came here for Ayce lunch $22.99. The price has gone up over the years. The menu ordering system is a checklist. There's very limited cooked protein options. There's no beef short ribs, or tempura shrimps. They do have a good selection of sushi and maki rolls. We ordered the veggie tempura, miso soup, salad, pork katsu, gyoza, calamari rings, edamame. The Philadelphia maki rolls were good. The spicy salmon rolls were just ok. The stir fry udon with chicken was pretty good for Ayce. Overall, the lunch cravings were satisfied. The menu is limited but if you like maki roll, hand roll and sushi then this place will make your tummy happy. If you are looking for a diverse menu then this place may leave you wanting more options.

I honestly had to leave a review because this place does not deserve only 3.8 stars — I think a lot of the low ratings must be outdated. My sisters found this spot on TikTok and we came here together and had such a great experience. The food was incredibly fresh, the service was so kind and helpful, and I actually loved the old-school paper ordering style. Prices were also super reasonable at around $32 each. Also… I don’t know what they put in the sushi rice, but it had the PERFECT balance of sweetness. I would honestly come back just for the rice alone. They also have 2 party rooms in the back that looked like so much fun for groups. Great atmosphere, great area, and we’ll definitely be back! Plus they have gluten free soy sauce that is labeled so you can trust it!

Kyoto house is a no-frills AYCE sushi restaurant that will get you decent food quickly and efficiently. I stumbled upon Kyoto House a few years ago walking around the area after a visit to the AGO and couldn't believe the prices (at the time I believe the lunch was $17.99). Ever since that time, it is one of the first restaurants I think of when I start craving AYCE. The price is now $22.99 for lunch and $32.99 for dinner, which is still on the cheap side compared to other Toronto options. The quality and taste of the food isn't absolutely incredible, but it does a commendable job at satisfying a craving for a large amount of sushi. A lot of other reviewers have commented on the employees being rude or crass. I have never found this to be the case during my visits. They may not engage in any sort of banter with you, but when I come to AYCE I don't care for any sort of conversation with the service staff. I want my food as quick as possible, and that's what Kyoto House does best. If you visit, I would recommend going for the Lunch AYCE. It is $10 cheaper, and the added dinner options do not make it worthwhile in my opinion. However, for both lunch and dinner, Kyoto House continues to be an affordable option that will leave you feeling stuffed and satisfied.

This is one of my favorite all-you-can-eat spots. Especially the lunch special is very budget-friendly and incredibly filling. 🙂‍↔️It’s a place I always stop by when I’m walking around downtown alone. Everything is very delicious. You should definitely try the salmon sushi⭐️it might be the best. The fried avocado is also really good. Unfortunately, I find most of the staff quite aggressive and negative. When you order more than what’s on the second order sheet, they start reacting quite harshly. Sadly, this is not a pleasant experience at all.

My friends and I came for dinner last night and it was fantastic. We had a great seat near the open wall and the food was impeccable. We all ordered something different so we can all try one another’s food. It was all 10/10. Smoked German sausages were so delicious. They also had pretty cool cocktails and the strawberry beer was 20/10

Sin & Redemption has a nice vibe and the service was genuinely good — the staff was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is also enjoyable for a night out. However, I found the prices a bit too high for what was offered. The food didn’t quite meet my expectations, and overall, it didn’t feel worth the price. While the place has potential, the quality of the dishes doesn’t match the cost.

Comfy food and quick efficient service. A more relaxed alternative to its sister pub next door.

There are many great beer selections available on tap. The atmosphere is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. It is located near the AGO and OCAD, close to popular areas like Osgood, making it a perfect place to stop by for some amazing beers!

4/5. Japango has been a reliable sushi spot for me over the years. I recently sat down to eat there, and overall it was a great experience. The food is fresh, flavourful, and well-prepared. I’ve also ordered delivery from them a few times, and it’s usually quick and consistent. The chef at the counter is always friendly, and welcoming. Overall, it’s one of the better sushi spots downtown and a place I keep coming back to.

Came here out of recommendation. The sashimi is fresh and good with thick cuts! Price is slightly pricey but it's definitely good stuff. Will come by again to try the other menus.

Amazinggggg. The sushi here is delicious. We had the freshest shrimp sushi and a platter of the most delicious sashimi. Really cute intimate spot. Great chef who made fantastic recommendations.

It’s been years since I last visited this place. It’s an OG sushi spot, but very small, and the seating isn’t very comfortable. That said, the sushi is quite good and very fresh, although we felt they used a bit too much rice on the nigiri. I especially loved the quail egg with tobiko—it’s something you hardly find these days. The only letdown was the waitress. She seemed unwelcoming, didn’t smile, and acted as if we owed her millions of dollars. She also took our plate away without asking, even though I hadn’t finished the ginger yet. The chef, on the other hand, was nice. Overall, the food was decent, but the lady who served us made us question whether a tip was deserved.
Calibee L - 8 months ago

Decent sushi. I’d like a more vinegared sushi rice, but fish quality was good enough. Karaage was juicy thigh meat but the breading wasn’t traditional karaage fare. Overall a good experience.

This is an honest 5 stars for each category. Had stopped in to see what the restaurant looked like and were so impressed by the buffet that we decided to stay for lunch, and were REALLY happy we did. Each item was fresh, looked appealing and tasted excellent! The dishes were well seasoned without being peppery hot. There was an excellent condiments bar with a very good salad also. The dessert options even included fresh fruit. The pani puri (gol gappe) water was the best we've had in a LONG time! We really liked the presentation in small covered dishes, rather than the large, open trays most Indian buffets have. There were ample options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, and they bring freshly made naan to the table. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The items were refreshed promptly and the space is very pleasant, with tall windows and exposed brick walls, and with music soft enough to allow for easy conversation. One can always order a la carte, but the lunch buffet is so.impressive and such a deal that if going for lunch, then enjoying it would be our preference. We can't wait to go back!!

Absolutely loved our experience at The Host in downtown Toronto, right across from The Hospital for Sick Children. We went for the buffet and for only around $25, it was honestly one of the best value meals we’ve had in the city. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can tell they really care about the quality of the food. My personal favorites were the goat curry, the butter chicken, and the coconut shrimp absolutely unreal. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, the goat curry had so much flavor, and the coconut shrimp disappeared from my plate in seconds 😭🔥 The atmosphere was great, staff were friendly, and the buffet kept getting refilled quickly. For the price, quality, and location, this place is seriously underrated. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in downtown Toronto and craving good Indian food.

Visited this very fine Indian restaurant on a Saturday for their lunch buffet. The restaurant quickly filled with ethnic Indians who knew this place had amazing Indian food, friendly staff, and welcoming service. The host continuously checked on us and encouraged us to try more but we were quickly full. The quality and quantity of the dishes we sampled were all generous and outstanding. The goat curry had huge pieces of goat, the tandoori chicken was succulent, and the paneer was homemade and absolutely amazing. We tried a little of everything (see pictures) and wished we could eat more. This is a great Indian restaurant and we'll be back.

Went for the winterlicious menu for some reason the host was super angry with the fact our group did, was extremely passive aggressive and very negative towards us when we did instead of the buffet. But regardless we ended up getting it, and tried the chicken mirch masala which was a solid 3/10 the flavours and chicken were abnormal not fully cooked The fish pakora were good, the chili momos were also good as well as the samosas. For mains the daal makhani was quite good but the lamb roganjosh and chicken tikka masala were lacklustre. The bhindi was also not good and had some awkward taste Overall the service speed was fine and good for a one time experience. Not too sure if I’d come back here

🇨🇦 food was great, the drink was great! really... a good start to the day! It was super busy and yet these guys managed to get my food on time and still remain super friendly and calm. 🍪 It's a great atmosphere, great location, easy to find and perfect for pretty much all ages. Very clean on the inside as well and easy to find a table. ☕ I recommend coming with friends. The age range here is all the University students and young workers. 🍁 All in all, such a great Indian – I mean ... Canadian restaurant to eat in.

Loved their grilled cheese (gooey, tasty and buttery) and perfect to be paired with one of the lattes! The owner was nice enough to give me the chickpea salad- a great refresher and a healthier snack option. One of the few cafes that offer a wide variety of healthy options!

A reliable healthy lunch option for downtown Toronto that is consistently tasty! I enjoy the big salad where you can choose three of the salads, and mix it up each time you go, and also add chicken as a protein. The roast chicken and bacon sandwich is really tasty, and the chicken and brie sandwich. They'll toast/grill the sandwiches and you can upgrade your side salad which I prefer to do if having a sandwich. I also enjoy their baked treats and have liked the s'mores one, Morning Glory muffin, and apple pastry.

Stopped by Cafe Plenty in Toronto — they have two locations, and I visited the Dundas one. The space has a warm, welcoming café atmosphere that feels relaxed and comfortable, making it a great spot for a work-week lunch or coffee break. The menu focuses on simple, well-executed café-bistro dishes, perfect when you want something satisfying without feeling too heavy. I ordered the ham and cheese sandwich, which was fresh, well balanced, and comforting in a classic way, along with a brownie that was rich and indulgent without being overwhelming. Everything was prepared quickly, making it an ideal stop when you’re short on time. The service stood out — the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which really elevated the overall experience. Overall, it’s an easy, reliable lunch spot with cozy vibes, kind service, and quality food. Definitely worth checking out during the work week if you’re in the area.

Ordered pizza here while moving into a new apartment. Pizza was ready quickly, and delicious. We had some lactose intolerant friends and were able to get a solid lactose free pizza no problem. Store was busy, and we didn’t get any garlic sauce in our order but such is life.

This place used to be Ciao Pizzeria which is one of my favourite pizza in downtown Toronto. Now it has become a chain pizza location and not really happy about it. But when pizza cravings hit you, I guess you have to bite the bullet so decided to try their pizza slices - Honey Heat & Honululu. The Honey Heat pizza with the spicy chili flakes, tiny cup pepperoni, goey, melted mozzarella and then topped with honey are a match made in pizza heaven. The Honolulu is my least fave between the two as it's more on the salty side. Both pizza could benefit more with additional toppings as I find that they are skimping on toppings. But at least their pizza is decent and doesn't taste like cardboard compared to other so called franchise pizza places.

I’m adding to my original review since I’m unable to post a new one. (see below for first review) I shared an honest account of our experience, including photos, outlining how disappointed we were and how the quality fell well below expectations. I did appreciate seeing a response from the owner suggesting I contact management to discuss the situation and "make things right". Unfortunately, it’s now been over a month with no follow-up. That response now feels more like a generic reply meant to give the impression of care rather than a genuine effort to resolve anything. At this point, any hope of restoring my faith in your customer service is pretty thin — much like the overcooked pizza we received. ORIGINAL POST I ordered a party-size cheese and pepperoni pizza and was really disappointed. The crust was extremely thin and overcooked, and the overall quality was far from what I expected. It didn’t resemble a proper cheese and pepperoni pizza at all. I’ve included photos so you can see for yourself.

Clean, easy to get to, delicious and in the best area in Toronto (the art gallery area) 😁🌈 The pizza was tasty, thin crusted and amazing, perfect for any mouth of any size. The restaurant itself was very clean and the service was very friendly. 😁❤️ I highly recommend checking this place out if you're ever in the art gallery area and you need to eat pizza after. I guess art makes people hungry for pizza. 🍕🍕 You will definitely see me back here eventually.
