Get the grandpa 's fun guo and salmon belly ! Really really good! The ribs are amazing it has a twist to it. It's fried with sweet and sour sauce. Beef tongue comes with oysters & flavorful pickles !
A very cool space with knowledgable servers . The food as a whole is terrific. I think a little work on balancing sweet to savoury is a great plan but I am looking forward to returning.
The food is a mix of Chinese flavors colliding with North American dishes like a mapo tofu poutine , fried chicken with Hong Kong-style egg waffles , and Brussels sprouts with black bean butter. Read more
The Sichuan maple old fashioned was amazing. Sounds crazy with roast duck infusion and sichuan spices, but it's almost imperceptible. Just awesome
Tasty fried chicken with Sichuan peppercorn I think. HK style waffle too dry, might be better the regular way. Nice syrup .
A year ago used to be quite good. Since then the menu has been downgraded somewhat in price, but mostly quality. Now average-ish Asian-style food. I was rooting for this place too. Heartbreaking.
Octopus was excellent! Great combination of flavours and textures. #2 in Toronto
Ceviche was really good. Light and unexpected flavour. Also, pretty big portion for a place like this
The fried chicken and waffles have a great asian twist!
Grandpa fun guo is the most popular dim sum for good reason. Truffle works.
Good cocktails especially the Chinese sausage + shitake one. Run by Eric Chong MasterChef Canada s1 winner. ????
Mushroom rice is must try????
The ceviche is really delicious !!!!
Salmon belly and polenta fries were great. Lobster chow mein - not so much.
Vegan option the veggie Chop suey was great.
Bibimbap was good but ask to stir it yourself, the sauce can be over powering
Everything we had was consistently impressive
Dim sum , boas, cocktails
Cha Siu Bao is just ok. Fresh baked but unremarkable. A bit too buttery
The grilled octopus was a highlight.
Smells great, but salty. Tasty lobster , albeit not much.
Spring rolls and banh mi
They charge $2.50 per person for water...
Pretty underwhelming.
Overrated.
Great atmosphere and you can order up some food from the restaurant downstairs. The Big Mac Bao was awesome. - Robin Johannsen
Japanese with Korean inspiration and American fast food. Enoki mushrooms, fish, battered chicken sandwich. Make a reservation otherwise you will wait > 1 h. Last call 1:45! - Karla Donjuan
Get the beef paratha tacos! Great vibe, really picks up towards the end of the night, so get there early to grab a seat. Oh, and the meat here is Halal. - H I
Huge selection and some discounts on records you wouldn't expect! - Eddy Gonzalez
One of my favourite pho restaurants. Their avocado smoothies are always bomb dot com. - Mimi
