Falls Best Restaurant

Falls Best Restaurant settles the table that can't agree. One person wants a bowl of braised beef brisket ramen; another is set on a dragon roll and nothing else will do; a third just wants crispy chicken and rice. On Robinson Street, in the thick of the Fallsview district, that split order is the whole premise — a Chinese kitchen and a Japanese one working off the same short menu, so a group can land on wonton soup, maki, and a rice plate in a single pass without anyone giving ground.

The Chinese side carries the comfort spine. Signature Crispy Chicken Boneless is the menu's clearest opening move, golden boneless bites that work as a first share before anything heavier arrives. House braised beef brisket runs in three directions — as ramen, over rice, and spicy with rice noodles — and the kitchen treats it as the dish to build a meal around. Shrimp wonton soup is the clean anchor for a lighter start, with dan dan ramen and Taiwan-style braised pork on rice rounding out the bowls. Scallion chicken, fried shrimp cake, pork spring rolls, and a sweet mango salad fill out the opening order, the kind of spread a table grazes while it decides what comes next.

The Japanese half is a real second kitchen, not a courtesy. The maki list runs from the eight-piece Green Dragon and Black Dragon rolls — tempura shrimp, avocado, eel, tobiko — through California and tempura shrimp rolls to a spicy crab and cream cheese roll, with tamago and barbecue eel nigiri for anyone working through the sushi case. What the two menus share is a posture: keep it casual, keep it affordable, and let the format stretch. The combos do the heavy lifting there, pairing braised pork and shrimp wonton soup, or unadon with seaweed salad, or stacking a twenty-piece maki set for a table that wants to graze across both kitchens at once.

Much of the menu is built to travel. The kitchen runs an active pickup and delivery list, and most of what defines a sit-down order — the brisket bowls, the wonton soups, the rolls, the combos — holds up just as well carried home. The lighter starters do double duty here too: seaweed salad, cucumber salad with garlic, edamame, and pork wonton soup are the low-stakes additions that turn a single rice plate into a small spread, whether the table is in the dining room or assembling an order on the couch. It is the kind of breadth that makes a weeknight order easy to scale up or pare down without rethinking where to eat.

That breadth is the point of the place rather than a hedge. Since opening on Robinson Street in 2023, Falls Best has set itself up as the answer when a group's cravings scatter — the menu wide enough to feed a solo bowl of ramen and a five-person spread of rolls, rice, and soup with equal ease. It reads as a neighbourhood ordering menu more than a destination, the daily-lunch-to-late-dinner kind of place that runs the same hours seven days a week and expects you back for the dish you didn't get to last time.

The honest way to use it is to order across the line. Start with the crispy chicken, pick a beef-brisket lane, split a shrimp wonton soup, then add a round of dragon rolls when the table wants a sushi turn. Most casual spots make you choose a lane and stay in it. This one keeps both lanes open on the same bill, and the order that ends up on the table is usually the one nobody could have agreed on anywhere else.
