So I’ve come in here and there over the years and I noticed a server has been back after time away at another restaurant. Beautiful black woman with a baseball cap. She’s my favourite, always makes sure I’m getting my drinks and the food is to my liking. It’s an awesome place to have snacks and chill. Even when patrons give her a hard time she makes sure they have what they need and stops by to me and my book to check in. I love a pub where you can go and it’s friendly and you’re taken care of. Recommend when you’re looking for a spot to hang out with your friends in the neighbourhood.

Good place to watch a Leafs game while sipping on beers. Friendly & laid back vibes all around.

Prices are expensive for what you get. Music is way too loud for a bar atmosphere. Service is fine but I was not greeted properly at the door. Order was slightly wrong. Not sure if this was an off night for them, I'd go back because it's close to me but it's nothing special.

Cute bar and the bartender was running the bar and our server. Service seemed to be a bit slow but it wasn’t overly busy so I can see why they probably only had 1 cook and 1 person running customer service. Regardless the bartender was nice and friendly. They had interesting flavours for wings but I found it wasn’t as amazing as I had expected. The large nachos were good and the jalapeños were fresh. The only thing is I felt it could’ve used a bit more lettuce but there was more than enough beef.

Had an amazing time at this bar with my sister and some friends! We came down to play some pool and were really impressed with how clean and welcoming the place was. The atmosphere was great, and the staff was super friendly—especially our bartender, Ruburto. He was so nice and pleasant to be around, and we had some really good conversations with him. The food was also a highlight! We ordered nachos, and they were made with fresh ingredients—absolutely delicious. The drinks were fantastic too! I ordered a Blue Hawaiian, and it was the best one I’ve had in a while. Overall, this place has a great vibe, good people, and is very friendly toward queer folks, which made the experience even better. I’d definitely recommend coming here for a fun night of drinks, good food, and great conversation!

Great place for service, food and ambiance. Rob the bartender is super creative and very knowledgeable and cocktails and the menu . Everything is delicious and the drinks are delightful . Would definitely recommend visiting here. The Mediterranean Nachos are a creative and tasty twist on a Mexican favorite. Uts a MUST TRY!

We had Ash and team cater a big family party in our home. The food was top notch (we're still getting compliments), the service was great, and they worked closely with us to develop a menu that was exactly what we wanted. Oh, and our kitchen never looked nicer. Highly recommend!

Follow @bredgyeats on IG for more food posts! Tasting the rainbow! Savoury versions with these mini-sized and healthier samosas that contain a variety of Indian flavours that we all know and love. With less guilt but a decent amount of crisp.
Bredgy L. - 3 months ago

Really brilliant selection, flavours and colours. The pastries have vibrant colours and different shapes that make it easy to identify the filling. I like that they are bite size which helps to try several types. They also have frozen bags but only with one type. They have packaged containers of sauces and chutney. Coriander one was great! Amazing little gem of a place. Take out bakery style, no seating.
Anthony John - 3 months ago

Sometimes I’m hungry but not enough for a full meal. This is a great place to pop in quickly and get something small and relatively healthy. There are so many options to pick from which makes it really fun to bring new people in and discuss and rate each samosa.
Paul Sileika - a month ago

The samosas were good. The squash soup was so incredibly salty we could not eat it. After a long walk to pick the food up, we were disappointed. REPLY TO OWNER: Our review was honest, so when we say we could not eat the soup because of how incredibly salty it was, it was not an “each to his own” situation. It was salty to the point we spit it out, so perhaps you could have taken it as a coaching opportunity or probed for more information, instead of getting defensive and responding to make it appear like our review was false. Clearly, we are not the only ones to give a disappointed review. Someone made an error with the salt, period full stop. Your employee did not smile and seemed bored and slightly annoyed while we were asking questions about the different fillings. Moreover, we were being generous with our rating, as while the samosas tasted good, they were incredibly oily. The paper bag was soaked with oil. When people are paying $50 for 2dozen samosas, a soup, and a ramekin of sauce, maybe you could accept reviews with more grace.

Ethiopian restaurant with live jazz. Simple venue, fantastic food, house wine is great, and the hospitality is awesome. Went on a night that featured the Moment's Notice Quartet. Loved it. This is the place for slow food and good music.
Aly Valli - 3 months ago

Hirut is a fantastic, welcoming place with superb live jazz music and great acoustics in an intimate setting. I recently went to hear the fabulous Vancouver Trio, with Amanda Tossoff, piano; Morgan Childs, drums; and the ever steady, ever ready, ever adventurous bassist, Brendan Davis. I cannot wait to return for dinner, and more live jazz. Just steps from the subway station, it’s easy to get to via TTC, there’s street parking for drivers, and the many shops along east Danforth are very interesting. Wherever you come from in Metro Toronto or GTA, make it a stop on you journeys about town!

I was there on Sunday to see the Jazz it's a really nice little spot I did not eat there they were not serving food on Sundays. The Jazz was out of this world what a great venue for musicians highly recommended
Peter Loudon - 2 weeks ago

Very quaint little place. Food was excellent. Prices are very reasonable. Saw a jazz quintet there. Great night out for dinner and some live music.
Michael Black - 3 years ago

It was great to be out for some live music and a drink or two but the food....a simple plate in itself but sooooooon amazing! The flavours and the spice coupled with the traditional style of eating, really so very good. I wish i had taken photos but they wouldn't do it justice you just have to try it! UPDATE: I have now added some photos from a second visit, this time family style.

Tonight I placed a delivery order. I ordered the Medium Special with 10 wings. OMG, the hot honey garlic wings were AMAZING! I think they were the best wings I’ve had in years. The pizza had pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms on half and hot Italian peppers on the other half. Nothing special BUT it too, was DELICIOUS. I highly recommend this location. They obviously take pride in delivering hot delicious food. The delivery person was friendly and the food was hot.

I had some pizza. The pizza is not tasty. Quite soggy. The staff is excellent. Update: my girlfriend eats Pizza Nova from this location, and the "white pizza." is her favourite. Gets it from here once a week. Today we ordered a large and it didn't have enough herb oil base, and the crust was not as requested. She was very disappointed. I offered to return it, but she was scared they would get mad. I'm im just leaving a review for her. Update x2: they got the pizza right. But too many flies in the restaurant.
El Nasrani (Lawrence of Arabia) - a year ago

I didn't know pizza could be this disappointing. The pizza was soggy and when I picked up a piece, the toppings just fell off. No flavour. The lady at the counter was very kind. I won't be going back.
Brad S - a year ago

Very good! I’ve tried a few around the city and it’s hit or miss, they hit! Pizza was good, and even made my pizza 1/2 per my note, wedges wee delish! Will definitely order from here again.

I ordered the chicken pad thai and spring rolls. The spring rolls were ok. They had a good crunch and a nice sour note, but left an odd aftertaste. Overall, the chicken pad thai was not good. It had some good pieces of chicken, but the flavouring was not good and the dish was a bit soupy. I asked for hot spice and it almost had a hot buffalo sauce taste to it, so it had me wondering if that's how they added the heat, but I'm not sure. Honestly, I'd rather pay the extra few bucks and get better Thai food elsewhere. The food here left me full, but unsatisfied. Disappointing. The service was very quick and the woman who took my order was kind. I think I only waited 8 minutes to get my food, so they were quick.

First time , small place . Very friendly and helpful staff. Tried the Thai Room special chicken and shrimp pad see ew . It was fast and very well cooked. Nice taste not too spicy . The vegetables were cooked well, the shrimp was the star of the dish . Also had the vegetable spring roll , it was fried perfectly and cooked evenly . No oily or cold spots in roll, their dipping sauce was perfect . Definitely recommend this place , portions are a good size . I will definitely go back .

Location is convenient for us Walking distance from Main and Danforth. We had the Mango Chicken and the Signature Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp. There was a good number of shrimp in our order. Food was hot and freshly cooked. We ate at the restaurant, service was good and friendly.

Calamari is good, sauce it comes is great, portion sizes all around are great. The salmon in spicy sauce I got was underwhelming, the spicy sauce in assortment of veggies isnt bad, but the spice is one note and you can taste its bitterness as it kills your throat. Salmon itself tasted days old.

Had the Hakka chicken with rice special. $11.99. Flavours were spot on with fresh green chilies adding a nice heat level. About 5 good size pieces of fired chicken. Bok choy and onions were the veg. Big portion. Clean place. Non-existent ambience. The kind of place where the pop comes in a can and you open it yourself ( that's not a dig, that's my preference and you never get it ) and it's only 1.75$. Great budget option with tasty food. I'd go again.

Wanted to taste some yummy Chinese food from one of the local businesses and Google recommended them. Seeing 4.3 avg. rating encouraged us to try it out. No complaints about service, it was warm and friendly. However, the food was not. It's true that they give you a huge amount to fill your belly but if your tongue couldn't taste anything, what's the point of filling your belly? Mongolian Chicken with steamed rice had more cabbage to cover the whole thing (see picture). Even if that was tasty, I wouldn't complain. It was dripping with sauce and no taste. Sweet and Sour Pork usually is a safe bet, with chicken fried rice, it looked good but tasted nothing. The pork was full with sauce, and fried rice was hard as hell. Overall, not a good experience. Having less faith in these Google ratings lately. I guess most 5-star people went there to fill their belly with cheap offers rather than taste something good at a reasonable price. No hard feelings to the owners, they were good, just not the food we paid for.
John D'Costa - 2 years ago

Great portions at great prices. Really good fried chicken wings that came with the take out order after hitting the minimum. Everything was very tasty except the sweet and sour pork. It's my favorite dish, but it was very disappointing. Tasted like orange chicken which was weird, would not recommend this dish. Would recommend and come back to try other dishes.

The food is amazing! Great portions and the prices are reasonable. This is a family owned restaurant which has been in the community for years. My family and I have been coming here for years and I can honestly say they never disappoint. You have to check out this hidden gem!
Diane C. - 2 years ago

The decor may be modest, but the food is amazing! Large portions (enough for two), very homely (filled with regulars) atmosphere, scrumptious food. Listen to their recommendations, you won't be disappointed. They've been around for more than 20 years, they must be doing something right, right?!

Unbelievably delicious omelette! I've passed by for awhile and finally had the time to stop. It was a great decision, the atmosphere was relaxing, staff welcoming, prices reasonable but best of all the quality of food and taste was amazing. I think I found a new favorite

I was extremely impressed with this gem the portion of my breakfast was huge, and it was very cheap. My son got the 3 mini pancakes and a side of fruit they were excellent he loved them. Everything was very fresh and the service was great. The atomosphere was very cozy as well. Make sure to go check it out you won't be dissapointed!! I would say it's the best breakfast in East York

Yes, I bypassed Sunset Grill to try something new w my mom. So glad I did, as we found this small welcoming spot on the same street. The Chef prepared our breakfast with care and attention. This place has a very intimate atmosphere. Great things come in small packages would apply here. Thank you for the wonderful breakfast! ✨

This is. Without a doubt. Some of the best wings I've ever had. The wing flavors were all so delicious and actually spicy!!! And they have plenty to choose from. The fry flavors are all absolutely delicious and everything was reasonably priced. The owner was very friendly and super helpful and made this just an all around welcoming experience to Toronto! If you're in Toronto you MUST GO to this place! Thanks for making this a memorable trip and a memorable New Years Eve!

Very good wings ! Don't @me for this next statement, but gives Duff's a run for their money for a lot less cash ! Unbreaded wings are amazing, lemon pepper is on point ! Ordered multiple times and the portions are great and the folks that work their are super friendly! If you have been disappointed by places that you order 1lbs of wings that are weirdly oversized and you only get 5 wings then make the switch to these guys. Wings that are normal sized, delicious, well cooked and aren't greasy (or taste like they were boiled and fast fried) Great food, great job ! Try them out
Robert McLaughlin - 2 years ago

I have to say I really like the wings. They are fresh and always taste good. I've eaten here a handful of times in the last 6 months. My reason for the lower rating is they are always, without fail, late. Each time I order online I set a time for pick up, and it has never been within 20 minutes of that time frame. I wait for my order in store and I can see it's not busy, there aren't people coming in and out. So it's not for the fact that they are over capacity. Sometimes they say they "didn't get my order until recently" but I get order confirmation right after I pay online so I find that hard to believe too. Again I really like their food, but each time I remember why I don't order here as often. I will gladly change my rating if I start experiencing better service.
David Ly - 2 years ago

Ordered takeout on a Friday evening. Order was completed quickly, portions for wings were good but portions for the fries were even better! Sauce and coating on the wings was well done, however, the meat itself was quite dry. Might have been just the batch that day. Edit: forgot to add that the staff was very friendly!
Kevin Zhang - 3 years ago

Ordered via their online portal, and when we went to pick it up the store wasn't even opened. Tired calling an no pick up. Just looked at my credit card bill now and they still charged my order. Disappointing, as I've had good wings here before. Update: the new rating is based on how helpful they have been in getting me my refund back. Also I know they do make good wings. My only feedback is they need to pay more attention to their online platform so this never happens again. Also to make it clear that if something doesn't go right for their online ordering they should out reach to Doordash. It's no very clear right now and the number they have posted on their site and confirmation email doesn't really go anywhere.

I went to this restaurant on Tuesday evening. It wasn’t too busy, so I got a table right away without having to wait. The place looked nice and clean, with a cozy Japanese-style vibe. The staff were friendly and gave good service. For the appetizer, I ordered the gyoza. The flavor was good and served as a decent start to the meal. My main course was the chicken teriyaki bento, which was flavorful and well-prepared. The portion size was generous suitable for sharing between two people, assuming neither has a particularly large appetite. For my beverage, I selected what I believe to be the house blend of green tea, though I am unsure of the exact menu name. I thoroughly enjoyed the drink and found it refreshing. However, I would recommend that the restaurant consider offering a hot version as well, as I personally prefer hot green tea.

Amazing food and absolutely a gem. Some of the best sushi I have ever enjoyed. Nice menu and I have to say creative and reasonably priced. Freshly made and option to order take out . Variety of rolls and sashimi and some unique items you don't find on a lot of sushi menus. The dragon rolls are amazing and sushi pizza is worth a try. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and made to order.

Korean operated sushi bar - warm and welcoming environment and nice interior. The food offerings are pretty good with relative pricing to being on the Danforth. A good spot to go to when craving sushi.

Gyoko Sushi is a small, cozy place that we absolutely love for its proximity and fantastic service. Recently, we made a reservation for 10 people to celebrate my LA cousin's last day in town, and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent, as always. The staff was attentive and ensured our large group was well taken care of. The food was spot on, just like every other time we've visited. The sushi was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Gyoko Sushi continues to be a favorite for us, and this visit reinforced why we keep coming back. If you’re looking for great sushi with excellent service in a cozy setting, I highly recommend Gyoko Sushi. ‐------------------- I had an amazing experience at Gyoko Sushi. The food was truly outstanding and the service was friendly and attentive. The drinks were well-prepared and the atmosphere was pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great sushi experience.
