The Lunch Lady brings Nguyen Thi Thanh's Saigon soup-stall legacy to Ossington through Benedict Lim's full-service Vietnamese menu: rotating noodle soups at lunch, crab-rich Banh Canh Cua, ribeye Steak Luc Lac, 24-hour beef broth, Vietnamese coffee desserts, and cocktails that carry the room into dinner.

Susur Lee's flagship now lives at Richmond and Portland as a polished Waterworks dining room built around shareable French-Southeast Asian signatures.

Soos is a Soo-family Malaysian restaurant on Ossington with Malay and Nyonya small plates, larger dinner plates, Fat Choi plant-based options and a Feed Me sharing format. The case rests on Char Kway Teow, Kapitan Chicken Tacos, Prosperity Tossed Slaw and a decade-plus Toronto lineage.
