  • The location is great, you can take a streetcar there. The food I found there was mediocre. I did not like the chicken because it was dry and tasteless. The lemon tart did not look appetizing but it was decent. However, for a summerlicious menu I rather use my money some where else since I was hungry after my meal.

  • Order: Summerlicious - grilled calamari with green, roasted chicken supreme and lemon tart

  • I made reservation and arrived early and was promptly seated. This place is dimly lit with candles. It was drapes with red silk-like material. This a nice romantic place to be. The salad was tasted delicious!The grilled chicken was a bit dry for my liking. The chocolate cake was too sweet.

  • Order: Salad with herb vinaigrette, Red wine, grilled chicken with mashed potatoes, chocolate cake

  • I find that this is the best location to 'fuk geen' egg and rice noodle. The special gets you an extra crab (not imitation) claw. This restaurant is really small (i think less than 10 tables). Also each time I go here the lady always seems to pour tea on to the bamboo-sticks-hung-on-the-wall. I never asked why but it looks extremely weird. I go just for this dish! It is great!

  • This is a small place. I usually come here at night which was always packed. Nice titles for the menu item but food was nothing special. My "Unforbidden Fruits waffle" was just kiwi, strawberry and banana with ice cream (with jam?). The fruits were really nothing special and sour. It was great to look at but what a disappointment. The jam was sicken-ly sweet.

    The pizza I guess was decent. It consisted of ham, mushroom and pepper. I rather have a regular pizza but overall this pizza was different so no real complaint. I like how the crust was thinner than some other places (and it was not super thin).

  • Order: 'Unforbidden Fruits' waffle and pizza

  • There is no need for service. Since the staff takes already long enough to replace our plates. The food was not replaced often. The favourite dimsum options were usually empty. The tasted horrible. It tastes like a beginner trying to find a recipe but is failing...The quality is horrible. Although one of the bright side is that I think this is better than its Mississauga location. Will not return

  • Atmosphere was below average. It looks like they were too lazy to renovate from the last buffet that was previously there. The food is not worth the price. The quality is lower than usual dimsum places. I like quality not quantity. But if all food tastes the same to you then why not. I will not return unless I have to.

  • This restaurant serves Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese food. In addition there is a fixed seating limit. Which I found to be horrible, since we were placed in a booth (which I found great) but was far and difficult to see. We had to try and flag a server over. Many items were missing from what we had order.

    The interior design was modern and simple. Credit cards are charged extra.

    If I am in the area, I'm sure to visit this place once again.

  • We were seated in booths. Service was friendly. I did not like the kalbi beef. It was not as great as some of the other restaurant's that I have visited. It was difficult to for the beef to come of the bone.

    The bento box comes with soup and salad. I found them similar to other restaurants that I have visited previously. I have no other complaints but also nothing really interested me there.

  • I found this place quite small. It's pretty crowded on weekends. It's very loud. It's a place to just sit and talk while drinking bubble tea. I did not like the bubble tea the last few times I went. The powder was not mixed properly! The powder was still on the rims. I have ordered the small before and it is extremely small. So if you are going to sit for long then order large!
    I rather drink pop at a different restaurant.

  • Order: Taro Bubble Tea and chicken wings

  • I found the food decent and relatively cheap. The plates are large! The service was quick and friendly. I have been here a few times and found each experience consistent. It does get crowded but the wait to be seated has never been extremely long. I recommend this place for its inexpensive Chinese dishes and its large quantities.

  • Order: Noodles with beef, Coke, and Chicken Fried rice.
