Question: Is the food tasty?

Amazing food But long line ups.  Had to wait even though a reservation was made. Lively atmosphere great to bring friends and family. Too loud and packed for a dinner date. Can be pricy but you do get what you pay for. Definitely unique dining experience.

Question: What about dish?

3.5 stars - a good chance to try / share lot's of different tapas style dishes with friends. I was lucky to score a patio seat out front but I arrived early at 4pm. Inside is crazy crowded. It's small and mostly standing room. I would have probably rated less if I was stuck inside with the standing crowd. Wine, cocktails and 4 beers on the drink list. Something for everyone but largely the basics in each category. I would not come for drinks alone. The food is worth the trip - some really interesting and unique dishes to try. A quick run down:- Gooseneck barnacles. Waiter spent about 5 minutes explaining how to eat these little guys. Look out, they shoot juice everywhere. My eyes, hair, shirt and jacket. WTF, ultimately not worth the trouble in my opinion but a load of fun for the table. Tastes like a combo of shrimp/lobster. - Foie Gras toast. I'm not the biggest foie gras fan but this dish was excellent - the best of the night. A cherry vinageur spread on the toast made it taste a little like Peanut butter and jam toast. - Scallops in Uni sauce. What is not to like here. Fresh scallops with a hint of Uni. They give you bread on the side to soak up the Uni sauce :) - Razor Clams - I'm not a big clam fan so not going to rate but my friend liked it. $26 feels high for this small item... But what do I know? - Chorizo. Nice flavor, cut in thicker than average pieces. Worth trying.- Kitchen Bread. Two pieces of crusty bread with Mayo, roasted red pepper and anchovies. Good combo but definitely too much mayo. We used our knives to remove half the mayo at least. Come willing to experiment. Have fun, try lots of different things. Service was good. I will return to try more of the menu. BK

Question: How is the set and the environment in this place?

Byblos is one of the best restaurants in Toronto. Period. I've been here many times over the past couple of years and every single time have a wonderful experience. I've tried almost the whole menu, and highly recommend the beets labneh, lamb ribs, the pide, the ribeye and especially the slow braised lamb shoulder. Aside from the incredible food, the atmostphere and ambience are great. It's perfect for a date night, a girls night out, or even a family dinner. The staff are super knowledgeable and and on top of everything, always checking in on you and giving you the story behind Byblos and each dish. Truly top notch! Just make sure to make a reservation as they tend to book up weeks in advance!

Question: How is the soup?

Often the best hole-in-the-wall eateries have the most senseless names. I mean, who has time to knock out creatively chic names when you're so busy elevating lives with your food? Well, this is a fine example of that (at least when it comes to the naming). NO, this is not the all to familiar Japanese ramen. This is Chinese noodles at it's finest; a work of art centuries in the making -- this is LAMIAN (pronounced lie-men - pulled noodles).There's been a hand-pulled/chopped noodles movement as of late. With the very first stint(it's still there) situated in the infamous Pacific Mall, we have seen a sudden surge of such eateries all over the city. With Magic Noodles championing this movement in the north(and Scarb-area), we are seeing a better representation of this art by the day! Albeit the aforementioned is somewhat lackluster in my books.I must say these guys have surpassed my expectations a great deal. The broth is clear, flavourful and low on the grease scale. The soups are  low in sodium for Chinese standards but somehow still able to provide distinct flavours with subtle complexity. The meats in the soups are equally impressive; tender, juicy and delicious! Of course the star of the bowl is the noodles which taste distinctively handmade. Silk smooth texture all the while still maintaining that slight chew to them - absolute perfection! Even the sides are admirable.Balance, delicate, delicious, fast and affordable -- I honestly cannot find any faults, all I have are praises for this place. Definitely one of the most balanced bowl of lamian in the city.

Question: How was the service?

Yeah the food is fresh and good, reasonable with a crazy assortment of dishes BUT...RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDEManager & servers have that cold, reptilian East Asian attitude and treat customers like they are an annoyance that have to be undured and rushed out the door. Dont expect any smiles or fun here. My family was reprimanded when my 5 year old spilled her water. Crowded, uncomfortable seating, graffiti covered restrooms, kinda seedy, druggy neighborhood off Spandia.Tip added to bill for party of FOUR, CASH ONLY. Lousy money grubbers. There are a million other asian establishments close by. Go someplace where you wont be treated with contempt.

Question: Do they have a good menu?

This place looks like a really expensive restaurant that is classy and upscale...BUT rest assured, it's not that pricey. With that said, I really enjoyed my visit to this restaurant. The moment you walk in you can see how classy and elegant the design of this place is. My wife made reservations for two on a Saturday evening. From the door at the main entrance I was amazed. We walked in, the staff took us to our table and sat us down. We ordered our appetizers and dinner at the same time after taking in the view and deciding from the excellent menu options. To our surprise the dinner and the appetizers came out at the same time. It was weird at first but then all we had to do was request that the appetizers come out before the main course. So that wasn't a big deal for us and we didn't mind at all. The food was very delicious.The restaurant becomes a lounge with good music as the evening progresses. There is a lounge area that has beautiful couches and throw pillows where you can enjoy drinks with friends in a great ambiance. All in all, a great dining experience with great service. The food doesn't deserve a 5 star (maybe a 4 star) but I rate this a 5 star for the experience and feeling that my wife and I felt as we left the restaurant.

Question: How was the service staff?

Just checked in tonight for a quick bite and was left quite satisfied. The noodles were very different - more gelatinous. The flavors were great for the Isshan Miso ramen and their Takoyaki were the best that I've had. But what pushed it to 4 stars was the service. Rarely have I seen this level of warmth from a ramen place but truly a great experience.

Question: Is the sushi delicious?

It's nice, fresh sushi and a nice interior, but it's somewhat overpriced for the quality provided.Food: The sashimi is quite good, the rolls tend to have too much rice compared to fish. The drink selection is much better than most sushi restaurants, and for this alone I'd give another half star if I could.Ambiance: Interior is more upscale than most sushi restaurants, its low light fits with much of the local scene.Service is excellent, I've been with large groups and just with one other, and service is fast, friendly and professional.A nice place overall, but when there's such good sushi for much less not far from here, I can't give Yuzu more than three stars.

Question: What is your opinion of the server?

Nicely situated in the Aura condominiums, which makes for a pretty convenient location for folks who are coming from the Eaton Centre.  Met up with a group of 10 other friends for a dinner and got to sit in a corner of the restaurant that was relatively quiet for all of us to have a conversation.  The waiter was very attentive and took the time to explain things on the menu, as well as answer any questions we had about the portions.  I got the baked carbonara and a tiramisu for dessert - both were very good!  The tiramisu was a bit heavier (dense) than I expected, so I was stuffed by the end of the dinner. :pOverall, great ambience and food.  Would definitely come again!

Question: Is the place always busy?

I went here for the first time on Thursday.  I ordered the soft bao (pork belly) and the kalbi beef sandwich.  I cannot believe I have lived in this area for so long without ever eating here.  The food was amazing.  How do they get the bun so soft?!  It's the perfect perfect bun! The pickled vegetables are a lovely accompaniment.  I can't stop talking about how good this place is.Note: If you like spicy - order it extra spicy.

Question: Was a heavy dish?

This was a good meal. The environment already won me over with the Turkish lamps lavished across the open kitchen.    We started with the bread appetizers- toasted bread already lightly soaked in olive oil and generously topped with sesame seeds.   I had to resist finishing my piece to save room for our later dishes!We ordered the following Duck kibbeh - this reminded me of a falafel but made of bulgur wheat and stuffed with duck.  The tahini sauce that came with it was the star of the dish and I wish I had more to dip not only with the kibbeh but with the other dishes!Tuna - the squid ink chips definitely made our table go 'ooo and ahh'.  But this wasn't an all star dish and the jalapeno dressing overpowered all other flavours that were incorporated into the tuna.  Vine ripened tomato - MY FAVOURITE PLATE OF THE EVENING.   who knew tomatoes could taste so divine?   To my fellow diners - sorry if I consumed most of this dish that was supposed to be sharedBlack Cod- wrapped in vine leaves - this dish wasn't bad either but i think the fish was a bit overcooked since it was a bit dry. Seared Cauliflower- again byblos has somehow made another humble vegetable an outstanding star.  It was also another favourite at the table - again that tahini sauce was amazing and went so well with the charred flavour of the cauliflower. Crispy Confit Duck - yes so our table seemed to have a tad predisposition to duck - but to be fair the true star was the rice .   There was a myriad of flavours and textures from just one bite: crispy (from the duck shreds); crunchy (almonds); sweet from the molasses and cinnamon.  and if you are looking to spend less at this restaurant without sacrificing quality and flavour, this would be the one to order! The service was attentive and our waitress kindly accommodated allergies at the table by recommending alternative dishes on the menu.  Although not all the dishes were outstanding (interestingly both fish plates were the letdowns of the meal), I still highly recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to impress/ unique/ upscale Mediterranean in the city.

Question: What menu do you want?

This place will always be a Meh in my book. I first tried it a few years ago and it wasn't a good dining experience. Our waiter was ignorant, moody, and borderline b*tchy (did I mention it was a MALE waiter?) The service was so bad that I can't even remember how the food tasted. This year, I decided to give it another chance after a couple of my girlfriends convinced me that it's a good dining place and it's one of their favorites. So I went back for the Winterlicious event with my boyfriend. I ordered the Lobster soup (obviously), Lobster Tail fettuccine, and the Belgian choco mousse cake for dessert because they ran out of the mixed berry shortcake I originally wanted (my dining experience started to decline at this point). The boyfriend ordered Grilled calamari stuffed w/ risotto, Rib eye steak, and tiramisu for dessert (they misspelled tiramisu as tiramusi on the menu, which was such a turn off). I also ordered their special cocktail for the event, called Cabana. It tasted like a fruit punch. WHERE'S THE VODKA?!?!?!?!1. Appetizers: I have to admit that their Lobster soup was yummy. It's the best part of my sub-par dining experience. My boyfriend's stuffed calamari was also good and the portion was quite generous. 2. Main entrees: My lobster tail was quite big and grilled to perfection. The only thing I disliked about my main was the fettuccine. I like my pasta well done and it was al dente. It's just my personal preference and it's definitely not their fault. My boyfriend asked for a medium rare rib eye and when it came, he thought it was more of a medium to medium-well. Anyways, it was still a good piece of steak. My only itch about his dish was the veggie side. They used bokchoy out of all the greens out there! Believe me, I love my bokchoy, but NOT with steaks. It's like pairing BBQ pork with arugula. How do you like that? 3. Desserts: I was still upset that they ran out of the mixed berry shortcake and didn't have a fruity-type dessert as a replacement. I couldn't really enjoy the chocolate mousse cake because my first two dishes were already very creamy. I swapped my dessert with my boyfriend's tiramusi (haha!) and I definitely preferred that over the mousse cake. In the end, we didn't finish our dessert because the overall dining experience was just... underwhelming.A couple of things worth mentioning:- Our waiter was nice, attentive, but not annoying.- I noticed that a couple of other tables had some issues with their main courses. The guy beside us didn't finish his steak (1/2 of it was still on the plate) and when the waitress asked whether or not he would like to pack up the rest, he said no. THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN. Another table complained about one of the steaks being tough (overcooked?) and asked if they could get a replacement. The waitress tried to defend herself by saying that the steak looked overcooked because of the dim lighting in the restaurant. WTH?!? The patron said it was tough! She didn't even say it looked overcooked, she already tasted it before she complained! Oh boy...Anyway, I wouldn't go back to this place.Well, maybe for the Lobster soup. MAYBE.That's all, folks! :)

Answer: the Lobster soup

Question: Is lunch cheap?

I had such high hopes for this place.. Although I should've been a little suspicious when nobody ever said Let's go to El Furniture Warehouse because they have great service! I am just going to start with the postitives. First has got to be the pricing of everything under $5. I mean you can't really go wrong with that since this area is surrounded by students from Highschool and University. The pricing is great for people who don't have tons of money to spend on some places located in the Annex. So that is definitely a great reason to come to this place. In terms of the quality of food.. I mean you get what you pay for. I thought that everything was decently good tasting. I got the Braised Beef Spaghetti, Beet and Goat Cheese Salad and a Mac and Cheese with bacon bits. Overall my favorite dish was the salad, second, Spaghetti and lastly the Mac and cheese. Everything was cooked well.. Nothing burnt or under cooked. Now with my experience. This is what I was so disappointed in the most when I got there. Let me just explain what I experienced  yesterday (Oct 23.14): Around 1PM my boyfriend and I decided to eat at El Furniture Warehouse since many people had recommended me to go. It is close to campus with cheap prices! Since I didn't have to work and it was pretty much a day off it was a great time to go. I thought going for a late lunch would be great. As we walked up to the place I noticed two people looking at the menu.. I guess they were deciding on take out. I notice immediately that it wasn't as busy as I've seen this place at night. Which was great - since we should be seated right away, right? WRONG! My boyfriend and I stood there trying to figure out, since it was our first time there, if it was a self seating place or if we had to wait for someone to have us seated. Finally after about a few minutes staring around awkwardly at each other and the people behind us, who were also waiting to be seated a waitress comes from the back and looks like she is going to get us seated. At first she was going to seat us at a high table that sits two people and across the bar but then she quickly asked us if we preferred to on the upper platform area at a table enough to sit four and we agreed to sit some where more spacious. Now this is something that I always do at every restaurant since I get thirsty quickly I told the waitress as she was about to leave to seat the other people behind us to get us two glasses of water to start. She said yes and continued her way down and sitting the other customers. As my boyfriend and I are deciding to pick what to eat we are looking around about 10 minutes later (maybe longer) still wondering where our water is. Finally I told him to bug another waitress who was wiping down a table near us to grab us water.. She said okay and in about 2 minutes our waitress brought us the water. I mean I would be a lot more understanding if it was extremely busy and if she had to wait for our food to be prepared and cooked but it's just water from a tap.. I couldn't believe we didn't just got our waters right away. I mean we had a girl on our left sitting near us who was seated AFTER we were and got her cocktail almost instantly well before we got our water. I just thought that was ridiculous. Finally when she brought the water we wasted no time to order our food so that we didn't have to wait so long for it to come out like our water. We used the time it took for the water to come out as an indicator as to how long the food would take and boy were we right! We ordered like I mentioned previously: beet salad, Mac and cheese and spaghetti. I think it took about 15-20 minutes for the food to come out. My boyfriend and I were both on our phones and trying to kill the time until our food arrived. When it arrived I was very happy with my selection though. Everything looked great. Until my boyfriend noticed right away on his Mac and cheese that they had forgotten the bacon bits! (Which the waitress actually suggested) Honestly he was so fed up with waiting for everything to come out that he almost didn't want to return it. However I am not like that.. I thought if you're going to suggest something and get your customers wanting to add items to their food then you shouldn't forget it. So it took us almost a few awkward minutes trying to wave a waitress in this not so busy place down. When we told her that she forgot she went Oh yeah I am so sorry about that and quickly went to the back sprinkled some bacon and popped back without dish. This is something I just cannot understand.Why was it that it seemed so busy for the waitress when there wasn't that many customers in the place to begin with. Anyways after all of this waiting game my boyfriend and I ate all of our food quickly and just wanted to get out of there. We paid for our meals I think I came to $18? And we just put a $20 down and left. What a frustrating experience. :(-CL

Question: Are you satisfied with the portion size of the food?

The experience really pushed this rating up to a 4 for me. The food was delicious, but nothing inspired or out of the ordinary. It was delicious, classic and well-prepared. As others have said, you go for the experience. Eating in complete darkness was a great way to appreciate the everyday life of those without sight, but to also connect with the food itself. Often times, what's presented on the plate shapes a diner's perception before they take the first bite. Eating in darkness really lets the ingredients speak for themselves. While the food wasn't particularly memorable, that doesn't mean it wasn't good. Definitely worth a visit.

Question: How is the plate?

Two words: sangria and Mafaldie ai funghi. The sangria was amazing, fruity light and refreshing. It was everything a sangria should be. The mushroom pasta was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. It was creamy and the pasta was al dente and soaked up all the sauce perfectly. We did order some other things like the ravioli allá norma, the margarita pizza, and obviously some bread (it was on the menu that you needed to pay for it but they didn't charge us). The ravioli themselves were delicious but the eggplant was a little underdone and just kind of thrown on top of the ravioli. The pizza had mixed reviews in my group. My boyfriend and I loved it but his sister and her boyfriend found it to be a little thin but still had great flavor! The only thing I wouldn't recommend getting is the mojito! But the service and everything else was awesome.

Question: How is the menu?

Delicious delicious food! The menu is simple but everything they do is really good.

Try it and you'll keep coming back!

Question: How do you like the soup?

I had being looking forward to go here for a week. After the work out, I was starving, so I hit the place.There were a lot of people. I waited outside for like five minutes and was arranged to sit in the middle of a table later. Not really a comfortable spot but I am alone.I ordered the pork belly black ramen with thin noodles and Dafu.The service was good. And the serving speed was pretty quick.The ration was kind of small. Only two pieces pork belly.The noodle was excellent, I mean perfect. The soup was good, but too salty for me. I did not finish it which is not really good for eating ramen.The pork belly was amazing. I ate it after I almost finished the noodle. The pork was soaked with soup and tasted like heaven.At first, I came for the Matcha Dafu. But it was a black one and a yellow one. The black one was like Mocha. The inner tasted more like cheesecake which was great. But the yellow one was disappointing. I can't figure out what flavor it is.The washroom condition isn't really good.Overall a good place.Like to try the green tea cheesecake next time.

Question: How time is open table?

Came in with a girl friend, the hosts looked at us and dismissed us, telling us it would be at least a half hour wait for a table for two. We asked if we could wait by the bar and they discouraged us, saying the bar was first come, first served and there wasn't any room. When we walked in, we saw at least eight open tables in the dining room and bar, only one of which had a reserved sign on it. There was plenty of room to stand at the bar but we left without spending any money because of the crappy attitude of the staff.

Answer: the hosts looked at us and dismissed

<hl> Came in with a girl friend, the hosts looked at us and dismissed us, telling us it would be at least a half hour wait for a table for two. <hl> We asked if we could wait by the bar and they discouraged us, saying the bar was first come, first served and there wasn't any room. When we walked in, we saw at least eight open tables in the dining room and bar, only one of which had a reserved sign on it. There was plenty of room to stand at the bar but we left without spending any money because of the crappy attitude of the staff.

Question: Is the egg perfectly poach?

This is probably my favourite brunch place in Toronto! Great convenient location right outside eaton center and in a relatively quiet area and close to Nathan Phillips square as well. The eggs Benedict here are amazing and have great unique choices! The service is friendly and fast and the fresh juices here is hard to come by! Definitely recommend as a good brunch place to catch up with friends.

Question: How is the music of the place?

The food and atmosphere overall is great. It did seem more intimate / more suitable for one on one dining and drinks, I did not see many groups of friends at a table. My first experience with Insomnia was through food delivery. I wanted to come in and experience the full package so my boyfriend and I had reservations for a Saturday night. We were greeted and seated immediately, right by the windows facing Bloor st. The restaurant was dim and romantic, but the street lights coming in added a nice touch to the ambience.Our server, Raza (not sure how to spell her name, sorry!!), was very friendly and informative. We ordered everything she recommended and we loved every dish. She also mentioned how their Old Fashioned is more traditional, and how they have a regular who comes in exclusively for the old fashioneds. I've had my fair share of Old Fashioneds and this is one of my favourites (they use 1 big square cube of ice rather than regular ice cubes!).To start we ordered the mussels, and Raza recommended we get their complimentary bread to dip. The bread isnt listed on the menu with the dish as the mussels are noted gluten free, but it is a very highly recommended option! The mussels were soo good, and didn't have any grimey seafood scents or flavour. The sauce the mussels were soaked in was creamy, but not overly rich. We also tried the calamari, and it was good, but the mussels were my favourite out of the two.For our entree, my boyfriend was debating between chicken and waffles or their spicy penne. Our server mentioned the owner of Insomnia is also the co-owner of Dirty Bird, so the chicken and waffles are the same recipe. He immediately chose the chicken and waffles. I heard Insomnia is known for their signature Insomnia burgers, but I was in the mood for pasta. Raza said the rose sauce shrimp linguine was her favourite, so I went with that. I highly recommend the shrimp linguine with rose sauce, especially if you're hungry. The portion was huge, and I really wanted to keep eating it but I couldn't finish. I got a second drink after my old fashioned, called Smoking Gun. It wasnt too sweet, nor tasted overwhelmingly of bourbon. It was a luxurious orange chocolate cocktail with an even better aftertaste, and I love how they fill the beverage up to its rims!I would say Insomnia is the perfect date night spot, or a great place to enjoy a cocktail or two (they also have a long list of intricate cocktails + the usual beer and wine) catching up with your friends.

Question: What do you think of consistency?

Absolutely delicious!My first time here, it was so hidden and such a small place that I didn't expect much out of it. I got to taste test all the flavors because the worker was super nice! I ordered two scoops: Vietnamese coffee and mango. They were to die for! I could say its the most flavorful gelato I've ever had. The texture was just right, not too creamy feeling and not too watery. Just enough for you to keep it in your mouth for the full flavor. So tasty; definitely recommending everyone and anyone to try this if you haven't already! Its really hidden and its the same street as guu ! Definitely look for it!Update: so my sister decided to buy boxes of gelato from here back home where we live in Markham. The black sesame is full of flavor as well as durian. However, I fully believe that Durian has a distinct flavor and smell to it that people may not prefer but it is worth to try. Their newest flavor is the Jasmine tea and the HK milk tea. So good!!!

Question: Where can I get fresh juice at a good price?

We like Good Fork because it meets everyone's needs in our group ... celiac, vegetarian and paleo eaters.  It's a bit hipster and weekends they don't take reservations, which is a pain, so recommend going early.  Lots of choices on the menu.  The red velvet pancakes are delish, but so are the savoury dishes.   And the mimosas are nice.  Affordable for Bloor West Village and the staff are pleasant.  You also don't get rushed out, like some places.

Question: How is the meal?

I have only been to Terroni's a handful of times, and only the old courthouse location.  Each and every time I have gone I've been very impressed with the décor, ambience, and quality of food while service remained at par. After browsing many reviews online, it became quite evident that this is a chain that does not pride itself on service, especially the Queen St. location which has one of the worst service reps I have ever encountered.  Having said that, let's talk food. The majority of the antipastos are delicious. I always order the carpaccio di manzo, a dish I typically order when I eat out I-tal. The Frittura di Calamari is great as well, a lightly battered deep fried calamari complimented well with lemon.  If you are with a group I highly recommend ordering the Tagliere Mezzo e Mezzo, a selection of Italian/local meats and cheeses. On a few occasions I recall having prosciutto di parma, smoked prosciutto, hot calabrese salami, fontina, smoked scamorza, pecarino, and parm + more, I do believe these are constantly changing day to day. I have not tried a pasta dish at Terroni's that I didn't enjoy. They also carry traditional types of pasta which you don't find everywhere like: Orecchiette, papardelle, garganelli and tagliatelle.  Most of the pastas such as the delicious gnocci are handmade in house, I personally heart the Mezze Maniche al Ragu d'Anatra, a duck ragu with spinach, mascarpone and parm.  As for the pizza, it is truly a-ma-zing, they really do rival Pizzeria Libretto. Terroni's has at least 20 pizzas and really you can't go wrong, even with the basic Margherita or Marinara. This may be attributed to the fact that Terroni's imports and packs they're own tomatos, in addition to making house specialties such as the homemade spicy sausage.  My favourite, like many others is the Smendozzatta pizza: Tomato, mozza, homemade spicy sausage, gorgonzola, and red onions. This pizza is one of my favourite meals, period. It must have to do with the combination of flavour such as the mozza and gorgonzola melting and fusing with the house sausage and caramelizing onions, omg.   Other notable pizzas are the Natalina: Tomato, mozza, roasted red peppers, hot calabrese salami, garlic and olives. C't Mang: White pizza w/ mozza, gorgonzola, fresh pears, speck (smoked prosciutto), walnuts and honey. Quattro Stagiono: Tomato, mozza,  prosciutto di Parma,  eggplant,  zucchini and olives. If you have space for desert, let it be known Terroni's boasts the most popular desert item I have ever come across in my life. I know some girls, including my g/f, who would give up everything for just one bite. The item is a flourless dark chocolate lava cake which is so good that Terroni's could probably stay open just selling that desert. All in all if you're looking for a stand out Italian dinner full of delicious apps, pastas, pizza and a to-die-for desert Terroni's is your spot. Personally I prefer Pizzeria Libretto, but Terroni's is right up there, and open longer than 5pm to 11pm!*be warned, any substitutions are frowned upon

Question: Is a tolerable line up?

After a long drive back from Montreal we ware craving a good bowl of Ramen. We stop at Sansotei and there was a line up (good sign), luckily we were 3rd in line and soon after there was a very long line. Waited for about 15 min and we were in. Very simple menu but has all you need! Ordered deep fried chicken, gyoza (dumpling), Spicy Tan tan Ramen and tonkatsu black (garlic).You get a choice of thin or thick noodles. Picked thin noodles for tonkatsu and thick for tan tan. Both were very good! perfectly cooked noodle and broth is rich with flavour. The pork (Cha Siu) was thick but did not have much flavour (my heart broke, almost perfect). That being said I enjoy the Tonkatsu Black over the Spicy Tan Tan. Gyoza were good as well, fried chicken was okay. Fried chicken would be better if it had a sauce.

Question: What was the flavour?

I'm sorry but I feel like the people that left positive reviews here are just Grand Electric employee's in disguise. I found out about this place on UberEats, they categorized this restaurant as a Best of Toronto Exclusive so I was curious. It was very small inside, I'd guess they can fit a maximum of 20 people. It seems like a walk in -have a quick snack- get out kind of place.We ordered a Pork Belly Quesadilla to split but got instantly depressed when it showed up at the table and was the size of a normal taco.. definitely too small to split between two people (think the waitress could have explained that?) However, it was the best tasting two bites of the evening. We also tried the Baja Fish and Cauliflower tacos which were alright. Nothing special. The bill was 30 freakin' dollars. No drinks, no desserts, just a few bite sized, average tacos. Left hungry. Not worth the money whatsoever. I'd avoid.
