Question: How would you rate customer service?

I would have given this a 5/5 after my first visit.  Snakes & Lattes is unique, creative, and a cheap night out on the town.  But what I loved the most was that unlike other night options around the city - this option was designed to bring people together over discussion, laughter, a battle of the minds.  In other words: We bond over BOARD GAMES - something everyone can enjoy and play for hours on in.  To bring this place up a notch - they even served well priced alcohol and have some great shakes and coffee too!So how can you only give them 3 stars says you?  Easy my compadre: It comes down to two facts:1) It has now become incredibly difficult to get a seat at this joint in the evenings in the latter half of the week.  If you show up late - you're not getting in.  Think having your name 4th on the waiting list is great?  Nope - you still end up waiting 2 hours to hear back from them.  But wait.. call ahead!  Great idea!  I call 30 minutes ahead and ask for a table and am told Yeah there's space and you can get a table in 30 minutes - just give me your name.  I get there and... am now on the waiting list and was obviously lied to.  There's no winning here.  2) So what happens if you DO get that highly coveted table?  There's a good chance you'll be sent to the dungeon of Snakes & Lattes... i.e. their basement.  I think it's great that they expanded to fit more people in.  The problem is that their basement is highly undesirable and not conducive to sitting around and having a good time.  It's small, cramped, and uninviting.  I would honestly rather take a board game and play on the sidewalk outside.  I think Snakes & Lattes has a great opportunity with this business.  They'll just have to move quickly to solve their BIG problem of always being full and allowing people to sit down and play games for an unlimited amount of time.  Yes you are doing a great job of serving THOSE customers - but you have dozens of potential customers not coming to your business because they know they can't get a seat.  And don't be surprised if they don't bother coming back again.

Question: How is it steak?

All I can say is wow! Impeccable service. You are made to feel very special here, and the service is down to earth and unpretentious. We were literally thanked by 20 people on the way out. The steak is delicious, the Caesar salad (made at your table according to your specifications), the mushrooms, asparagus, potatoes, and fries too. The chocolate cake was unbelievable. They made me a fruity drink that wasn't on the menu; it was tropically delicious. Loved it! One of the best dining experiences I've had in Toronto. We weren't rushed, and were given complementary muffins for breakfast, complimentary chocolate, and champagne as our friends were celebrating their anniversary.

Question: How is the flavour?

My cousin took me here for my belated birthday lunch and she has officially ruined normal GTA sushi for me. The crazy 5 star ratings is 100% deserved here and I can't wait to take my boyfriend very soon for a special lunch date. This is how sushi should be done and presented! The food was visually stunning. They've put a lot of thought and care into the presentation which really makes the entire experience all the better. The staff are very knowledgeable and take the time to explain the specials and dishes to you. I really appreciated that!We ended up getting the chef's special *Miku Zen* which differs, so you should ask the server first. Ours had a tofu salad (I hate tofu and I ate the whole thing.. didn't taste like tofu at all and well seasoned), beef, fish, and a spin of fish & taro chips. It came with 5 pieces of chef select Aburi (torched) sushi. Each one was delicious and the flavours are already there. You will not be using any soy sauce of wasabi for this sushi meal. We also got the Kale Goma-ae salad which was also very delicious.Dessert was the best. For a limited time, they're having this mochi dessert that's got condensed milk whip on the inside and a walnut cookie base. The mochi comes with a scoop of black sesame ice cream (my favourite) and drizzle of tarragon honey & various fruits. The mochi is so soft and fluffy it's like eating a cloud!!!!Everything was well seasoned and balanced and the chefs really take care to present and create each dish so every bite is a whole new experience. The decor is fantastic, service is excellent, and the food was just outstanding. Not an everyday type of lunch spot, but a nice treat once in a while. We all deserve to be mind blown by amazing food!!!

Question: How is the quality of the flavour?

The octopus taco is the best! I love how they pack it with filling and normally don't skimp out :) Lots of flavour packed into these snacks.

Question: Do you was huge disappointment?

Overall: 4 stars for amazing Thai food, friendly faces, bustling hot atmosphere. I've come back mainly because I was so impressed with the food. It's pricier and portions aren't huge, but this is balanced by high quality food and taste. Food:Not sure what more my review might add to what's already been said, but the food here is among the best Thai I've had in Toronto.I started off with the chicken skewers (Gai satay) and they were amazing. The skewers were very tender, juicy and flavourful.I tried their Pad Gra Prow in both pork and crispy pork. Personally I really preferred the crispy pork. It was crunchy, juicy and tender. The egg came put perfectly and the rice was delicious. I tried both the Goeng Klaw Wan (curry in a coconut and the Goeng Masaman (red curry). What stood out most to me was how rich each curry was. It was full bodied and creamy. I found myself tremendously impressed with the food. Medium spicy was fine by the way. Service:This is a bit of a difficult topic. They are very busy and popular. They try their best to accommodate but because of the traffic, I found that while the faces were friendly, it was hard to find my server. Getting drinks or refills was difficult because it's very noisy, and the waiters/waitresses are constantly on the go. Ambience:I love the decor. It's very spacious inside. There is loud upbeat music playing. This is not the kind of restaurant you want to go to for a quiet conversation. You will find yourself using your outdoor voice to communicate. The patio might be a better option for conversation.

Question: How is the chicken?

This place really does injustice to Singaporean/Malaysian food, especially if you have actually been to Singapore or Malaysia. The food is not authentic and way too overpriced. The Hainanese Chicken was overcooked and tough. The ginger sauce is not made property and it should be combined with green onions. The authentic version should also comes with a bowl of chicken stock. Many of the menu items can be found in a typical Chinese restaurant at a much cheaper price and better quality. However, I do enjoy the drinks that they make. We only came to Hawker Bar since an acquaintance and so called 'food critic' recommended it. Won't ever waste my money here again.

Question: Where in town can I get the most delicious burger?

Not personally a burgers fan, so take it for what it's worth. For this review I'm going to comment on their vegan burger. The place is okay, very typical fast food joint. Order your food, sit down, they call your name, get your food, eat your food, throw out your own stuff. I kind of don't like burgers, especially ground beef burgers. So, I thought that I would try their vegan burger, the holy vegan. I think it has quinoa and corn and some other veggies and supposedly made with olive oil. Honestly, from what I see, the burgers are quite small, when you account for the price. My burger was fine, it did have a lot of corn in it, like A LOT! And was drenched in olive oil, really oily, almost soaked through the bun. Overall, I thought the taste was decent, well, for a vegetarian (corn) burger. However, I don't think I will try again, considering the price, doesn't even come with fries.

Question: Is price affordable?

I generally dislike fusion or hip 'asian' places, as its way more authentic and better value to just go to a japenese ramen restaurant.  But I gave this a try anyway.  This place was not good, as expected...The menu is limited, which generally means they must do those 5-6 items really good.  In this case, the food was just ok.  I got the Momofuku Ramen for $16, pork buns ($10) and chicken buns ($9), each order comes with 2 small buns.  Nothing special here, move it along...The cocktails were $12.This place definitely has a 'hip' atmosphere.  Communal benches, a nice lounge area upstairs, open kitchen.  It caters mainly to non-asians who probably want: chic atmosphere, western quality service and a pure english menu with staff who can explain it.  Compared to other raman places, Ajisen Ramen for example, I think Ajisen Ramen is better tasting, more authentic and overall better value.  Ajisen Ramen isn't even that great.

Question: Why is the place not highly exelent?

I saw how critically acclaimed this place was on Yelp and figured it was impossible to have a bad experience here.  The food was amazing here.  Each dish was tasty and flavourful.  We ordered 4 dishes to share, as recommended by our waiter, but in hindsight, it was too much and 3 would've been better.  We got the Fig Salad, Lamb Ribs, Turkish Manti Dumplings, and Mejadra Rice.  The Lamb Ribs should be a mandatory dish that all patrons of the restaurant must order - my favourite of all 4 dishes.  The Fig Salad and Dumplings were great as well - very unique and yummy.  The rice was good as well, but it was too much and both of us are pretty carb-conscious people.Byblos def. lived up to the hype. For the duration of the meal, I felt like I was living in an alternate universe as a pirate, pillaging an Eastern Mediterranean village for their magical tapas.

Question: How is the spot?

Atmosphere is nice and laid back. Drinks were good. Too bad the bar staff has no clue what their prices are. High balls between 3-6 pm are supposed to be $3 (according to their website). I was charged $5. When I questioned, was told they were in fact $5. It's the little things that make the difference between a good bar and a great bar. Probably wouldn't go back.

<hl> Atmosphere is nice and laid back . <hl> Drinks were good. Too bad the bar staff has no clue what their prices are. High balls between 3-6 pm are supposed to be $3 (according to their website). I was charged $5. When I questioned, was told they were in fact $5. It's the little things that make the difference between a good bar and a great bar. Probably wouldn't go back.

Question: What place is perfect for buying eggs?

This is a realllllly late review because I came here on New Year's Eve and I just forgot about it until recently which gives you a hint as to how the rest of this review will go. I came here in a group of 7 in the winter and first thing that I didn't like was that the chairs had no backs and there was no coat check or coat rack in sight. Being that it was winter we all had to either wear our jackets or hold them on our laps. I folded mine up and sat on it and I may or may not have almost fell off cuz it was bulky...anyways, on to the food!I ordered the momofuku ramen and a pork bun to try. The pork bun was delicious but at $10 for 2 I could go and buy a pound of pork (siu yuk) and buns and make 20 at home. The ramen itself was really disappointing. The noodles were alright, the pork belly was alright, the egg was good but the broth was just meh. Granted I don't have a lot of knowledge or experience wit ramen but I've had ramen at other places where I want to drink every last sip of the broth and wish I could fit another bowl of ramen in my stomach. This did not happen here. I doubt I will be back for the ramen but I hear good things about the fried chicken!

Question: How's the food?

Frankly speaking - having been to Chef Nuit's other restaurant, my expectation for this restaurant is very high and sure enough Pai delivered. The food execution (we ordered Pad Thai and Pad ga prow) was flawless with all the taste hitting its mark and cooking is just superb. As always, it brought us back to Thailand figuratively speaking. Service despite being very very busy is also very friendly, welcoming yet efficient at the same time. Food arrives promptly - the server checks on us regularly and the bill comes promptly too. Reservation few days in advance is highly recommended. So why not five star? One minor thing - we found that the portion size for the appetizer (satay) was too small for its price and the main was just a tad smaller as well. Maybe it's just me that used to a tad larger portion size in the other establishment (Khao San I recall has bigger portion size and even Suko-thai)Definitely a fan!

Question: How is the quality of the snack?

Amazing tacos. If you go you must have the gobinator. Portions are very fair , I only had two and was full. Only downfall is the limited amount of seating - only one table to sit down at, because of this I wouldn't recommend to groups wishing to have a dinner out together. The tacos are all $5 each and they only take cash.

Question: What would a quick dinner be like?

Came on a Sunday for lunch around 11:40 - I would advise getting here early as after we were seated the line was out the door (because it's close to eaton centre and Yonge Dundas).I actually just got the salmon rice (considered a side dish) and the gyoza. Despite being busy, the staff were friendly and food came pretty fast. The salmon was seasoned perfectly and the gyoza was delicious. I'd come back again, if I can avoid the lineups!

Question: How is the place?

I love visiting Colette Cafe not just for their delicious teas and caffinated beverages but also to admire their beautiful interior design and decor. For those who know me, my absolute favourite colour is blue. They just make everything look so elegant and precious. I'm literally obsessed with every detail they have from tiles, paint, furniture and fixtures. It's very European, which they are, and I absolutely adore. I never really had the chance to pick out anything other than their hot beverages and a buttered almond croissant here and there, but they most certainly offer items such as baguettes, cupcakes, special donuts, cake, macarons, quiches and salads. Honestly I get so focused and fixated on their restaurant designs that I lose focus on the actual menu itself. I'm don't have much of a sweet tooth so I'm not necessarily drawn to the sweet items like most of my friends do. Other than that, if you enjoy tea they have a wide selection of aromatic teas to choose from. Colette also has a really great patio which is open during the warmer months. It is located on a smaller street in Toronto so if you like a more quiet, outdoor environment to do work you may want to check this place out.

Question: Do you think about this selection?

I have to say there are a few times in life I compare food to sex...but this would be it. Lord have mercy duck confit croquettes make me want to do bad bad things. Even the chili sauce was heavenly with a hint of orange mixed into its sweet spicy tang. The mussel diablo started off slow with what looked like very little broth, but oh mama that chorizo was amazing... little bites of flavor packed into unassuming red sauce... and then as u went down layers the creme fresh mixed with the tomato spicy broth to create a rich bread dipping oasis. The homemade sourdough was fabulous... though a little Spartan considering it left beautiful sauce in my bowl I had no way of eating. My husband got the onion and ale soup...aka french onion soup. Great soup not too salty as many of its cousins fall pray too. Let me take a brake pre main course to speak on their beer. Great selection. 20 beers on tap 100 million in bottle. I loved them. You could tell they kept there lines clean. On to the main course. Mine was good... I could have used a stronger citrus over tone to break up the heavy squash cream sage pasta situation...even a brown butter nuttyness would have added some depth but over all good. My husbands coq au biere was yummy...except the dumplings... they were a smidgen raw still. Truthfully though the fabulous beer and starters were so over the top fabulous you could have served me KFC and I would have left happy. ..... and then there was dessert. Love the ice creams ...the sticky pudding...the cheese cake ...roll me home

Question: How is the table?

Amazing experience. I really liked the way they serve their dishes - so unique and interesting. I ordered a curry here and it was pretty good (but not the best). I took one star off because the green curry could be more flavourful and it was way too runny. I prefer thicker sauces with more veggies inside. However their Oad Thai was really good. The other reason why I probably won't come back so soon is the crowds - it is very loud here. It is not a place to go on a date (you won't hear each other unless you almost yell), or want to spend a quiet, relaxing time.

Question: How is menu?

I was told we'd be coming to Black Hoof, and that it was a 'weird food' place. Definitely some unique and different foods on the menu, but it was all delicious!A very small space that was extremely dimly light, and relatively louder music. Usually it's not a bad thing for an establishment, but not my preference for place to have some dinner. I couldn't really see what I was eating, so presentation didn't really matter whatsoever. It was a bit of a letdown, as it seemed like they put effort into it too. The music and ambiance was quite loud as well, which made people talk even louder. I could barely hear those I came with, let alone what the server had to say. Fortunately, the uniqueness and flavour of the food made up for all that. Chose a while bunch of stuff off the menu, and was quite happy with most of them. First, the cocktails were all very unique and delicious. A little pricey, but the Autumn Sour and the Tea & Sympathy were definitely the best. The food options were some of the coolest I've seen in one place. The highlights for the night were definitely the Horse Tartare, Pistachio Hummus & Chicken Liver, Pig's Ear Slaw, and the Bone Marrow. Amazing taste and flavour for each dish, with the Bone Marrow at the best price that night. Service was top-notch, as they came to refill water consistently and change the plates and utensils between dishes. They only suffered there due to the music as it was very hard to make out what they were trying to say An amazing spot to try different kinds of foods. Would definitely come back, but maybe in a little while.

Question: How good is dessert?

The only thing disappointing about my experience at Canoe was that I didn't have room in my belly at the end for dessert.  And the desserts sounded simply amazing.  Dang.We went for dinner on a Friday night for the late seating.  Everyone we encountered was friendly, gracious and helpful.  Our server (whose name I can't remember) recommended an excellent wine which went perfectly with the starter (which we shared) and our mains.We started with the buffalo mozzarella with rhubarb and shrimp.  What an odd sounding combo!  But I have never had a more delightful way to begin a meal.  Since we were sharing it, they brought us each a plate with a half portion (so we wouldn't have to fight over it, they said). The presentation was very artsy, and that it tasted even better than it looked was impressive.  I wanted to lick my dish clean.He had the char, which he described as a seemingly random blend of flavours which ended up working out perfectly.  I had the ribeye which was cooked to perfection and had a delicious sauce.  I think considering the quality of food, effort in presentation and reasonable prices (for an upscale restaurant), this is definitely a great place for a special occasion or if you just want to go for a bit of a fancier meal experience.

Question: How is the staff?

So glad that I found myself in the area on a random Tuesday as the food goal was fall-off-the-bone tender ribs and Stockyards delivered. With words like elusive, sold out and long lines floating around on reviews, I was prepared for a long wait and possibly disappointment.  Luckily, there was no lines, plenty of seats and slabs of ribs on display in the front counter. Sometimes being random has it's perks.We ordered 1/2 rack of ribs and the chicken fried dinner. The knockout winner was definitely the ribs, although the chicken did put in a bit of a fight.  The ribs come cut up in a pan with tangy hot sauce and bbq sauce in little paper containers on the side. You will be asking for more hot sauce, but the friendly staff will be happy to refill for you. Great portions, four large ribs with plenty of tender meat along with a couple peices of ends thrown in. Really well smoked, not too sweet but delicious even without the sauces. The chicken fried dinner was good also. The skin is lightly battered but crispy while the meat stayed moist and flavorful. The fries were a bit on the soggy side (they weren't freshly fried for us) but we devoured them anyways. A great dinner of meat and fries. Moral of the story: come on a Tuesday.

With words like elusive, sold out and long lines floating around on reviews, I was prepared for a long wait and possibly disappointment. Luckily, there was no lines, plenty of seats and slabs of ribs on display in the front counter. Sometimes being random has it's perks.We ordered 1/2 rack of ribs and the chicken fried dinner. The knockout winner was definitely the ribs, although the chicken did put in a bit of a fight. The ribs come cut up in a pan with tangy hot sauce and bbq sauce in little paper containers on the side. You will be asking for more hot sauce, <hl> but the friendly staff will be happy to refill for you <hl>. Great portions, four large ribs with plenty of tender meat along with a couple peices of ends thrown in. Really well smoked, not too sweet but delicious even without the sauces. The chicken fried dinner was good also. The skin is lightly battered but crispy while the meat stayed moist and flavorful. The fries were a bit on the soggy side (they weren't freshly fried for us) but we devoured them anyways. A great dinner of meat and fries. Moral of the story: come on a Tuesday.

Question: Why is the atmosphere like that?

I went for a dinner for 2 for a birthday and had a really wonderful time overall (ambience, service, food). The 21 ingredient sangria cocktail is delicious and one my favourite cocktails I've had :) Everyone is right about the signature Singapore slaw - every bite is unique - every flavour and texture, yum!! I kept thinking about it the next day whenever I was hungry. It was definitely enough to share. The caramelized black cod was great, melts in your mouth. The top chef green curry was okay. It's really good with the pineapple, but not the same for the bites without. I didn't really like their take on the creme brûlée dessert but that was just a personal preference (I like it pretty plain but still ordered it knowing there was more involved). I overheard a waiter mentioning to another table that you can get creme brûlée many other places and recommended trying something new - guess he was right! I'd definitely go again to try more of the menu.

Question: How is the curry?

Delicious Thai food in a lovely restaurant.  I went here for dinner this fall, after hearing recommendations for it for about a year.  First off, the only reason I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5, is because there is another Thai restaurant that I think has tastier food for a less expensive price.I ordered their prix fixe option, which included an appetizer platter, a second course, a main, and dessert.  The appetizer platter had some mango salad, the taro yam roll, the shrimp triangle wrapper, and the crisp dumpling; these provided a really nice mix of tastes to start my meal.  I had the divine crispy morning glory paired with golden pumpkin soup, which really reinforced that this place has fantastic food, as I'm not usually a fan of soup, but I finished this soup wanting more.  For my main course, I had Sasi's #54 Red Chicken Curry - their most famous and most recommended dish.  And it did live up to the recommendation; it was a very flavourful curry with the pleasant surprise of pineapple!  Finally, for dessert I had the ginger ice cream, which was also surprisingly tasty. The service was also excellent, with our server providing excellent opinions when I had difficulty deciding what to order.  Also, I went there with a vegetarian friend who also had an excellent meal with no complaints.  Overall, an excellent meal and definitely worth checking out!

Question: Do they have a variety of salad?

I went on a Sunday night for dinner. They have a nice patio with heating and interesting lighting. I enjoyed the small plates of food, but nothing knocked my socks off. I did really enjoy the dates wrapped in bacon, glazed in the gooey, sweet sauce.Paella was done very well, and used great ingredients, so it's worth the $50 or so. The bottom was artfully burnt for a crispy bottom, aka. soccarat. The burnt rice was not bitter at all. I had the meat paella, and it was delish. Last time I had a seafood paella, and I definitely prefer the meat one because it just tasted more rich (surprise, surprise). No, but seriously, the seafood in the seafood paella is a bit dull tasting in my opinion. Yes, the flavour of the seafood is seeped into the rice, but I guess I just personally liked the meat one more, because it had more oomph...But they could use less salt in the paellas.Our main waiter was a bit aggressive, and was also kind of rude when we were about to pay. Generally, the other ones were fine.Their dessert menu is large and interesting. Paella is good to share between three people, or two large-portioned people, if you order a few tapas items.I wouldn't come here regularly as it wasn't THAT amazing and prices are on the high side, but it's a great place for a date or a fancy dinner.

Question: What do you think of the soup?

Best Ramen place in town!!!My favorite is the Tonkotsu Ramen which the waitress said it was the least salty one and it was very good! Not too salty like most other Ramen places. The pork was tasty as they pan fried it before putting it in the ramen to bring out it's flavor. The soft boiled egg (my favorite so I'm picky about how well its done) was perfect too! The soup was very good - measured up to the Ramen place I tried in Okinawa, Japan. Lastly, the noodles were also cooked to al dente! Amazing bowl of noodles! I've also tried the Zangi (fried chicken) before which is pretty good too! The touch of lemon to it is a great addition. So to reiterate: Best Ramen in Toronto!! You must try it!!! It is definitely worth the line up! Even in the Winter (which I've done)

Question: Is the room neat?

I'm surprised this place has an average of 3.5 stars. Yes it isn't a traditional Italian Restuarant but the decor and music were interesting. We had 7 people for dinner and it was excellent! I asked the waitress as I always do, if you were getting electrocuted tomorrow and you had to eat here what would you order? She said, the Tonnarelli alla Norcina is my favorite! She was right, the shaved black truffles with the homemade spicy sausage, pecorino and garlic was awesome but even better was the homemade pasta. My only complaint was it's not all you can eat like Olive Garden In addition, if you don't order the fried calamari, Tagliere Del Salumiere you are missing out. Oh, the bread is to die for if you're not on a low carb diet. Everyone at our table raved about the food so you can probably order anything on the menu and have a great meal. We did not get to the desert but I'm guessing that is insane as well. I should have given them 5 stars but the wine selection didn't have anything from the West Coast and I'm partial to CA and WA wines. I just saw they have an LA location, so happy!

Question: Where do they serve good dishes?

For first timers to Seven Lives Tacos, this is what to expect to ensure a better eating experience:* Expect line ups on weekends unless you come on week day around 4pm.* Some items may be sold out later in the day* Limited seating. Stand inside eating or stand/sit outside eating. Expect overcrowding during busy times. Many Kensington Market eateries are like this.* Cash only so bring $$$$. No special orders.* No washroom. Go before you go there.* Two tacos and a drink is enough for a meal* Get napkins and wet-naps to clean messy hands* Sample mild, medium and hot sauces before putting on tacos. Hot sauce is not for the weak. It's for those who can handle Armageddon Sauce at Duff's Chicken Wings. It will burn out your stomach lol. You have been warned!Hopefully, you will enjoy your tacos more after being informed of the above.I ordered the Poke 'N Chips and the Gobernator Taco. To drink, I had a bottle of Jarritos Strawberry Soda. The Poke 'N Chips, consisting of Hawaiian poke raw fish served on nacho chips, was a tasty dish combining the 2 popular dishes. It was not salty. Same for the Gobernator.The Mexican soda had natural strawberry flavouring and was a good change from all the local soft drinks I have been drinking.Previously, I had the Blackened Mahi Mahi and the Grilled Octopus Tacos. I enjoyed both tacos. They were not too salty as other reviewers may have said. The octopus was not chewy. The lemonade, made in house, was refreshing and not too sweet.I plan on trying the other tacos on the menu.

Question: Where is the food really good?

I love Japanese food and heard so many great things about guu. Gotta say I was pretty disappointed with the food. We ordered 5 different dished and found that the BBQ pork dish was by far the best but still lacked in favour. I give the atmosphere two stars and the food one. I wouldn't eat here again.

Question: How was the service?

This is the perfect place to warm up for a quick lunch. I stopped by for a bowl of ramen before heading to the Royal Ontario Museum. It is nice there is small, regular, and large portion. A small bowl of Shio (Salt) Ramen warmed me up. The broth was not too salty; bamboo shoots, pork, and other garnishes were proportioned well to the noodles. I must have come at the perfect time because as soon as I started eating there was a small line waiting for tables. On a side note there seem to be a lot of ramen places in Toronto.

Question: How is it the busy atmosphere?

The food at Rol San was delicious. Fresh and comes out hot and the drinks are cold!!  The presentation was great!  My husband is a vegetarian and he had many dim sum options and he told the head waiter, Ben, he wanted noodles and Ben knew exactly what to bring.  I ordered the spare ribs in black bean sauce which came out piping hot and full of flavor. The pan fried beef short ribs were seasoned to perfection.  The meat and shrimp dumplings had lots of flavor. The vegetarian options we ordered were quite tasty. For dessert we ordered coconut red bean cake and sweet mango pudding. You could taste the coconut and you could see the red beans. The mango pudding had bits of mangoes and was delicious!  This place was packed not only with tourists who yelp but many locals were there. Their hours during the week are 9-2 so get there early!  You'll be glad you went!!
