They have vegan options like veggies broth, veggies noodles soup, veggies rolls etc. I like their tum yum soup noodles. Pretty big restaurant. Not crowded when I went. Fast efficiency service. Fair price, just would suggest if they can provide bigger portion that will be better. Recommend tum yum noodles soup and veggies fresh rolls.

Self served style that has decent quality of food and the portion size is ample. Plenty of seats. It is a nice neighbourhood restaurant that is good for conversation. You also don't feel pressured to vacate your seat even when you finished your meal. The pho looked small but it's actually quite enough for a person's portion.

Consistently good food I like their wonton soup a lot and the pricing is reasonablish … for now. (shrimp vermicelli pictured below.)

The food here is usually great, rarely is something not good. We got the coconut shrimp & chicken soup and the pho with beef (rare) and some salad roles! They are also one of the few spots to carry Jumex (a delicious Mexican juice brand). Prices are reasonable and the location is pretty spacious with a good amount of seating and a good view towards the street. Service could be a little friendlier overall.

Beautiful rustic atmosphere, it was warm and welcoming. The food was good and reasonably priced (must get the mussels, so fresh and flavourful!!!), the drinks were delicious, but the real highlight was the exceptional service. Min went above and beyond, constantly checking in, making sure we were comfortable, and adding such a friendly, personable energy to the whole experience. You could tell he genuinely cared and enjoyed being there. This truly elevated our visit!

My first experience at Bumpkin's was for my brother-in-law's wedding back in 1987.  After that, my husband & I dined here for special occasions when our kids were young.  Most recently, on May 14, 2025, we celebrated our son and his fiancee's engagement.  Min (Owner) hosted the engagement dinner for our party of 12 in the private dining room.  The room was intimate with a great ambiance. The food was EXCELLENT, the portions were big for a reasonable price and service was impeccable. Min went above and beyond to make this a truly memorable night for both families. Thank you Min for everything!!!  You are truly a great host and we highly recommend Bumpkin's. Hope to see you again!

My fiancee, Katrina and I had our intimate Engagement dinner here in the small private room with Min as our host. Service, food and hospitality was above and beyond. A great night, highly recommend Bumpkins to anyone!

Had a lovely brunch/lunch girls reunion where we frequented this restaurant early in our careers over 30 plus years ago. Highly nostalgic for us. Sat outside in their front patio which was lovely but could have more greenery. Min, one of the owners is the STAR of this restaurant, personable , helpful, professional and proactive. Has the right balance of being friendly but giving us space. He took photos for us, gave the bill /served one of the ladies who had to go back to work, told us the history of the restaurant- him and his business partner Tony have owned it since 2005 and basically left it alone. Gorgeous Chandeliers are from the Royal York Hotel. Beautiful huge painting. Food is reasonably priced and large portions. Restaurant could be more cozy...feels a bit too empty. Key here is the outstanding service and good food that is reasonably priced with large portions. So nice to see Min so passionate about what he does. A neighbourhood gem.

First time here for dinner. The place carries a heavy sense of nostalgia. Big bright space with huge paintings. Firstly the staff are super friendly and professional with fantastic service. The location felt a bit empty. We started with some cocktails. Their cocktails are very decent and the wine menu is priced well. We had appetizers and mains. Their cocktails baked rolls were hot and fresh and went well with our snails. For mains we had Canard a l'orange and Lamb. Sadly our mains were a little disappointing. For the price I was expecting a better quality of main, tough meat that was lacking flavour. I’m a sting believer in supporting local business and would definitely want to see this place do well.

Pizza Nova offers a solid pizza experience at a reasonable price. I recently visited and tried their combo deal, which included two pizzas of my choice for around $20. Given the price, I wasn’t expecting anything extraordinary, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pizzas were fresh, well-made, and had a good balance of toppings and cheese. The crust was just the right mix of crispy and soft, making for an enjoyable bite. The place itself was decent—nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable enough to sit and eat. It had a casual atmosphere, perfect for a quick meal. The staff were kind and welcoming, which added to the positive experience. They prepared my order quickly and made sure everything was to my liking. Overall, Pizza Nova is a good option if you’re looking for an affordable and tasty meal. While it may not be the best pizza I’ve ever had, it definitely delivers in terms of value for money. If you’re in the mood for a quick, satisfying bite without spending too much, this is a great choice. I’d definitely consider coming back for another combo deal

The pizza place is clean, service is good and they have variety of slices

MY GO-TO SPOT! 🍕✨ This location is absolutely the best! The pizza slices are always fresh, saucy, and so delicious. On top of that, the service here is always friendly and fast. This is hands down my favorite spot for a slice, I always leave happy. Dare I say this is the best pizza nova location in Toronto!

Great food and atmosphere! Service is good and if you don’t know anything about Ethiopian food, just ask for their specialties, they are superb! Coffee was excellent and on another level. Loved the experience at this place :)
Megumi Fukuhara - 3 months ago

It was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and the way it was served and eaten felt very new to me. Eating with my hands without any utensils was a bit challenging at first. Overall, it was a good one-time experience, but I don’t think I would try it again.

My girlfriend wanted to try Ethiopian House, so we went. The place is small but cozy, and the interiors are really nice, warm and inviting. We had a meat dish that was a bit dry, and the food was a little spicy, but not too much. The flavors were okay, but the portions felt small for the price, so it seemed a bit expensive. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but I’m not sure I’d be in a hurry to go back. Still worth checking out if you want to try something different.

This was one of my most unique food experiences. Right after I ordered the power went out for the whole block. I waited a few minutes and the server brought my food out and mentioned that he wanted me to eat and he didn’t know if payment would work or not, but his genuine concern was with me enjoying their food! Sitting in the dark, I really enjoyed the food. I would definitely come back.
Byron Harvey - 4 months ago

I have tried few Ethiopian restaurants in TO and have always loved this cuisine and had heard about this place too and decided to try. I must say it’s a very cozy restaurant with a beautiful decor and the service as well as food was totally amazing and overall a wonderful experience!

Two great visits on quiet Thursday nights. Matt was behind the bar both nights, a cool, friendly, welcoming person. And the second time the most lovely Souhail was also working. I just had wine but the cocktails look amazing. This is a place to talk, it’s not too loud. I felt very at home and the place just feels welcoming and kind of intimate in a non-sleezy way.

Beautifully renovated space, genuinely kind & friendly staff, and the owner seems very lovely and passionate. It's not easy to hold onto these queer spaces and keep them thriving! I especially love the quiet little back patio, the staff will come take your order back there so you don't have to get up . The stairs back there are a little uneven so be careful (I would suggest they paint the tips of the stairs to make the edges more visible).

Boutique Bar was so accommodating for my large party of 15, no minimum spends or other fees. The drinks were delicious and vibes were immaculate. Would definitely come back here!

What! Boutique Bar is back! This bar has been around for over a decade. Best sangria in town and amazing cocktails! I love the vibe and the friendliness of the owners. They moved and are now located where Smith used to be. Highly recommended! The Hawaiian Gin is very delicious

On Aug 16 the playlist was on fire! Top floor dance party was definitely where it was at. Especially this one magnificent dancer, he just twirled the night away and brought incredible energy. What a night! Enjoyed the snacks and cocktails too

We order from this location often and they NEVER disappoint - 10/10 every time!! Sometimes we want different toppings or requests and they always follow through no matter what it is, if they don’t have what you’re asking for they make sure to call you and give you other alternatives. The delivery guys are amazing as well, super nice and friendly! Thank you for the 2 cans, much appreciated and super thoughtful! 😀
Amanda Duff - 3 months ago

Exactly what you expect — hot, cheesy, and hits the spot. No surprises here (in a good way). Classic chain-style pizza, fast delivery, and everything was made right. The pizza box is already empty, if that tells you anything. Sometimes you just want the reliable comfort of a familiar slice — and this delivered. I recommend thin crust. It's always done right! Check for great deals on Uber Eats. Will definitely order again when the craving hits.

One of the best restaurants I have eaten in. The pizza is very delicious and hot, and the service is very wonderful. The staff are friendly and nice, and the atmosphere is better than restaurants like Pizza Hut and Domino's.

Kothur Indian cuisine is small and quiet place to have an authentic mostly South Indian food. I used to work nearby 2 years back and was a frequent customer to this place. Recently I visited again, the place is still running and I happy to see that it is busier than usual. Their food is delicious especially the Gobi Manchurian. We also had malai kofta and panner butter masala which were tasty. I really liked the utensils in which they served food. It’s Classic. Their focus is on food and not on bar which is perfect to have a meal. Will definitely keep coming back.

Kothur has been living to the standards consistently for so many years now. We used to be regulars pre Covid and during Covid after we moved out and the food was amazing at the time. When we visited last week it was the same. Amazing taste and reasonable prices. The restaurant is clean, the services are good and the ambience and choice of songs even better. We had Kadhai Paneer, Jeera Aloo and Butter Tandoori Roti. All three tasted good, serving size was enough for two as well.
Sumeet Ranka - 4 months ago

I visited Kothur Indian Cuisine and the food was absolutely delicious! I ordered Dal Makhni, Paneer, Naan, and Gobi Manchurian — everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The spices were well-balanced, and the naan was soft and warm, just the way I like it. The only downside was that I noticed a few house flies around, which was a bit off-putting. Apart from that, the service was friendly, and the portion sizes were great for the price. If you’re in the area and craving authentic Indian food, this place is definitely worth trying — just hope they manage the fly issue better in the future.

The food was delicious especially the butter chicken but my mood as dampened by finding a cockroach landing on my table and the waitress carrying it without saying anything after I pointed it out- after killing it. As if it was a common occurrence which freaked out a little, not going to lie.
Reem H. - 3 weeks ago

I absolutely loved our experience at Kothur Indian Cuisine! The food was more than worth the price — generous portions packed with authentic flavours that truly hit the spot. Every dish we ordered was delicious and satisfying. Special shoutout to our server, Usha, who was an absolute star! Despite handling almost all the tables on her own, she was incredibly attentive, efficient, and kind. Her service alone made the evening even more enjoyable. The ambience of the place added to the whole experience — cozy, clean, and perfect for a relaxed dining outing.

I visited The Halal Guys for the first time and I’m honestly impressed! The chicken was incredibly tasty, the rice was fresh, and the bread was perfectly crispy. Their sauces were absolutely delicious — especially the famous white sauce. Everything was fresh, flavourful, and well-prepared. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Polat Muhammed - 3 weeks ago

The food here was okay honestly. A bit overpriced and nothing like the food they give in New York itself. The portions were okay, not too much, and the taste was mediocre overall. I wouldn’t come back again personally, but you should still give it a shot. It’s not bad.
Marian Turner - a week ago

Yummy gyro , the platter and the sandwich and the cherry on top is the cake piece . They have limited menu but it's awesome the best part is that as they say it , it's hand slaughtered chicken and beef 😋 😀. They have separate fryer for every thing chicken meat and the falafel plus the veggies are put separately with a spoon In gyro so a vegetarian can also enjoy this place . Love the taste here .
Sana Rizwan - a month ago

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great spot for a quick meal! The chicken & gyro platter was tasty, portions were big, and the white sauce is a must-try. Clean place, friendly staff, and super convenient by Wellesley station.

Best place for poke bowls! I got introduced to this place by a colleague and at first, I was sceptical because I normally don’t like eating vegetables, but this bowl ended up being the best thing I’ve ever tasted. To the point that I made a dedicated post about it online since I ate EVERYTHING. I always think about this bowl. I find myself always ordering this Kauai bowl specifically whenever I get the chance. Really recommend it if you like raw salmon and tuna. Order it with avocado! You won’t regret it.

Long day walking Toronto. Came across this place. Service was fast. The staff were friendly. The food was delicious with good portions for the cost. The space was clean and had a few seats. Worth trying if you are in the area.

One of my fav places downtown for home poke bowls. Maui bowl is SOMETHING. Addicting sauce and crab ingredients! The atmosphere is chill and I like to sit there feels cozy and nice. Ate here a 100 times already and never regret
Valentyna - 6 months ago

I'd tried a bunch of poke bowl places downtown Toronto, but a few friends and I found ourselves in the area, and after a quick google search and some decent reviews we figured we'd give Hoki Poke a try. Overall great food. We all had different bowls and the salmon and tuna were very fresh. The cucumber, edamame, seaweed salad, corn leafy greens were also very fresh. We were also fortunate enough to try their takoyaki and dumplings, which is the only reason this is 4/5. The poke bowls were top notch, but unfortunately the takoyaki was a little dry, despite having sauce drizzled on it. Still though, great taste and flavor, and amazing service by the staff.

Glad we made it to Si Lom Thai Bistro after missing it the night before, well worth the visit! 🧆 Food: I ordered the red chili curry, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were bold and well-balanced, with just the right level of spice, and the portion size was generous. Each bite had a depth of flavor that made it feel carefully crafted and satisfying. 👥 Service: Service was quick, polite, and attentive throughout our meal. The staff checked in regularly to make sure everything was to our liking, making the experience feel personal and well-managed. Even during a busy period, they handled everything efficiently and with a smile. 🎨 Aesthetic: The bistro has ample seating with a chill, sleek vibe that makes it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal. The modern décor combined with warm lighting creates a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

Have some here several times ! It’s a true hidden gem. Absolutely love their food. Good portion size and reasonable pricing. Great service too. My personal favorite is mango sticky rice and tom yum soup.
Amanda Joseph - 2 months ago

Came on a really hot day, was a bit disappointed that the interior wasn't air conditioned, but the decor in the restaurant is really nice and unique in my opinion. Unfortunately I thought the food was only okay. The food presentation is pretty lazy. The flavours were okay, but the portion sizes were a little light considering the price. I don't eat Thai food too often because it's usually too heavy for me, but I somehow left feeling pretty hungry after eating a $20+ pad thai. The menu has a lot of disclaimers...so at least they're stated there. But call me old fashioned but it's usually not a good sign when a restaurant needs disclaimers like "images are for illustrative purposes only" or "prices are subject to change without prior notice"

Had an amazing meal at Si Lom Thai Bistro! The pad Thai was perfectly balanced—flavourful, not too sweet, and loaded with fresh ingredients. The real standout was the panang fish—rich, creamy curry with tender fish that melted in my mouth. Great atmosphere and friendly service too.
