Reviews
Great food, good location, but poor service. We ordered several dishes, spicy chicken cartilage, crispy beef, and shrimp skewer, which were all delicious. However, our order for chicken dumplings was forgotten, and we waited a long time without any communication from the staff. Good food, but they need to improve their service.
Me and my partner were in the area and were craving Pho.
By far one of the better spots in the GTA! Restaurant was beautiful, service was amazing, and the broth was amazing!
The Vietnamese coffee was so strong, and was perfect.
Definitely will be going there more often!

It was my brother’s first time having sushi in his life and he absolutely loved it.
A small family running their family business perfectly, they make you feel very comfortable, help you in every detail in the menu, plus they advise you to try some stuff without trying to upsell expensive stuff.
Very kind and welcoming people.
The sushi was authentic so fresh and tasty, way better than the sushi in my country (Lebanon).
Highly recommending this place for anyone in Toronto or coming to Toronto for a visit.

Came for a casual dinner. Staff were super knowledgeable about helping navigate the menu for what matches our flavour preferences and allergies. Reminded us of our vacation to Hawaii! Super tasty and satisfying! Definitely coming back and ordering as a staple meal
Wanted to see how this place compared to other hand pulled noodle restaurants that I've tried. Overall I'd say the noodles are decent, and the soup is good. The value for money here is fantastic and dishes are quite cheap. I think this place is probably more notable for side dishes from what I've heard, and we tried the sesame pancake with beef which was delicious.
I've had a few falafel wraps in my days and by far this is the best. I get everything on it and all the flavours go so well. The hot sauce is pretty mild so if you like hot you might need more. Made fresh in a few minutes and the lake is right there to enjoy as you eat. The serving is large but there are some great side you can add. Love it
Family owned, hole in the wall but still chic, friendly service, fresh food and big portion sizes for the price right on king st w.
Based on the recommendations from my closest friends we were looking forward to visiting this restaurant. To my surprise the staff was not at all friendly, no "hello" or smile, they actually looked angry and made us felt like we shouldn't be there. We ordered the family meal and pieces of chicken, octopus balls, french fries and potato patties were fried well - light and crispy. Unfortunately, except for the french fries, everything was quite bland. The taste just didn't capture what we experienced in Japan and other parts of Asia. Overall, the biggest disappointment was really the service and the attitude by the staff. It was pretty bad and we couldn't help but wonder: Did we go to the wrong restaurant? Were they having a bad day? Are they working under oppressive conditions?
Love the food here! One of my go to Thai restaurants! Definitely a casual type restaurant, service was good, food came out quick. In and out within an hour. Would recommend this place for a quick and tasty bite!
It's a take out place rather than a restaurant. Friend staff but lacked in English. It was my first visit and had some questions on menu and I had to guess what the server was saying. Got the family combo, I had better karaage but the rest of the food was great. (love the sauce that came with) For a take out place, I thought it was lil over priced. I'd check them out again if I'm near the neighbourhood.
Excellent pad Thai, best I've had in Toronto. Perfect balance of flavours, meat cooked very well. Generous serving sizes and reasonable prices, especially given the location, very affordable beer and a awesome student discount in September. Clean interior and bathrooms with excellent service. If you're vegan, GF or keep halal most of their main dishes can be accommodated for you.
Such nice and friendly folks here. Ordered a pad Thai and level 6 spice. Unfortunately it was a tad bit spicier than what I would expect!
Also ordered the mango sticky rice for dessert. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned while the mango chunks unfortunately tasted rather sour.

Overall good experience. The fried chicken was good but I am not a fan of the kao soi and pad thai we ordered unfortunately. With plenty of great thai places around, I can't help but to compare and it is not even close. Pricing is on the cheaper end and overall is solid though.
A nice family owned restaurant. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. Honestly, not the best sushi I've had, but the quality was acceptable. The value of the amount you get was good, though and came out rather quickly. We had the spider sushi, green dragon, and salmon plate. All 3 were good but I highly recommend the green dragon rolls!
I’m obsessed with this place. The karaage pieces are big and crispy but not at all dry. The purple rice is sticky and delicious. The only thing I could ask for would be more sauce/flavour options, but honestly the chicken is so good by itself with how they season it that I get why they don’t have more sauces. 10/10 would recommend
Great food and service. There are usually some sort of price fixe menu specials, which is awesome if you want to try a bit of everything.
The pineapple dish is a chicken curry with lychee fruit - incredibly tasty!!

Excellent pho broth!!!excellent taste for everything that I had. A must go to if you are in the area.
This place is a gem! We ordered hand-pulled ramen with brisket and another one with beef offal. The portion is humongous. Generous noodles and meat, and the price is so reasonable $11.99 ! It's hard to beat this price. The noodles are freshly pulled and you can choose the width too. The soup broth taste clean and flavorful without the taste of loaded with msg. I highly recommend this place. Lots of Sichuan food selection too.
we ordered Phud Thai, Kari Noodles, crispy spring rolls, wontons, sticky rice and shrimp fried rice. I recommend you do get the crispy spring rolls (super crispy and tasty) and of course, do not forget the sweet and sour sauce! The Kari noodles is also a recommendation. Not too spicy and the curry taste is not too strong. just enough to satisfy your craving for a curry noodle. I would also suggest that you get the fried rice, doesn't matter what you want with it. The shrimp, for me, is heavily battered. I tlooks like it has more batter than shrimp. The chicken wontions are the usual fried wontons. Better get the spring roll if you were to choose between the two. The sticky rice is not what I expected. the rice kinda tastes bland for me. I was looking for more sweetness to balance the sour taste of the mango.
Plus points to the servers especially the lady with a high pitched voice. Very accommodating and always smiling.

Great authentic Sushi! 🍣 This will be my family's new place to get quality fresh sushi. Everything was just the best. I must recommend the Green Dragon Roll to newcomers and long time sushi lovers. The miso soup that is given as an appetizer is very tasty. The people were very nice, and even gave us free juice (which was very tasty,) for moving our table for a bigger party. Overall a 5/5 experience.
The best Thai food I have ever had in my life! They have an eclectic variety of the world’s most scrumptious Thai food.
Garlic shrimp with tamarind is a must try, rich in aroma & palatable! Thank you Allan for being so welcoming & friendly. Highly recommended

Great sushi place. Everything is made to order, and the atmosphere is nice if you want some quiet time, although it does get a bit busy in the evenings. Other than that, sushi is great.
This is a family owned restaurant and the owners were very nice especially the service they gave me was excellent!!!! The rolls tasted great with decent price.
Another great find for Vietnamese food. Very pleasant and comfortable dining experience. Beautiful interior design. People used to say you pay 50% for the food and 50% for your food. To most places, yes. But, this restaurant gave me more than what I expected. Their pad Thai has 6 big shrimps and their Vietnamese spring rolls are so well prepared. We also added an order of pad Thai chicken as well.
Strongly recommend Pho Phuong to all my friends here.

Fast service and delicious well seasoned poutine.
I initially visited to dine in, but then opted to dine out for comfort.
The interior was spotless, the cashier efficient, and the dining area functional yet spacious.
If you're looking for a good spin on the traditional poutine, I'd definitely suggest the Chicken Shawarma poutine at this location.
It was so good and the portion sizes were larger than I expected.

We have been going to Mengrai Thai for many years. The food is always fabulous and all of the staff are great! Last night we went for Summerlicious and it was delicious. We had striped bass and green curry chicken, a variety of appetizers and for dessert sticky rice and mango cheesecake. Probably the best Thai food in Toronto!
This restaurant is a gem! The food is amazing and you definitely get your money's worth for the size, freshness, and taste of the sushi. I've tried many different places throughout the GTA but Ichiban remains my favourite; such a solid, consistently top quality restaurant with great service. The staff are genuinely so sweet and I can't believe this place isn't packed with more people.
Fantastically delicious food and such friendly service. We were welcomed so warmly, and the crispy morning glory dish (a Thai spinach) with the pumpkin soup was delicious! Cocktails were super affordable and tasty as well. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!
I order the classic ramen noodle as stated on the first page but it proved to be a mistake. The 2.5 mm noodle becomes something like 4mm and is not easy to chew. The beef brisket is decent and the broth is very average. If the ramen has more finely chiseled green onion and some fried garlic it would taste much better. Overall, its a ok.
I had the OG Chicken Meal for lunch, which was great! Service was also friendly. You’ll likely have to eat outside as spacing inside is very limited. I wish there was better seating for outside especially in hotter weather (an umbrella would help).
Had Ubereats delivery from this restaurant for the first time, and was super happy with my “Two Choice Poke Bowl” I personally had the original Hawaiian ahi, shoyu salmon. Then the base zucchini noodles(extra charge). Sides being Hawaiian slaw, and seaweed salad then added avocado(extra charge). All the toppings; pickled ginger, crispy onions, spicy mayo, pokito shoyu, wasabi cream. I would definitely come back to try dine in experience. Everyone should try this place out at least once.
Great Location. Ample sitting options. Food was perfect. So was service but could be better. I would recommend choosing a less busy time for better dine in experience. We had the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and Islamic noodle and Mango Salad and Street Noodle with 20 chillies spice level.
We’ve been here a few times but only for the chè (number 110 on the menu).
It’s coconut milk with shaved ice and 3 different kinds of beans. It’s the perfect sweetness and it hits the spot on a hot day.
Can’t speak to the rest of the food but highly recommend trying the chè if you get a chance!

Small portions, less than other Pho places but the chicken Pho has a special taste. Beef Pho was average
Place is clean. Service is not the greatest, but overall decent location for a quick bite.

Highly highly recommend Salad King for their Thai eats - specifically their stir fried noodles. I always get the Siam noodles - it’s the perfect combination of creamy, savoury and slightly sweet and nutty from the peanuts. Absolutely a treat every time I get it.
This time I wanted to tried their Islamic noodles because of other reviews highly recommending it. While it was creamy and decent, I still would recommend the Siam noodles. I felt as though it lacked the dimensionality i expected it to have - it fell short of flavours I was expecting and was a bit bland.
Service is quick. Although appetizers always come out after the entrees in my previous experiences. Just something I’ve noticed since it should be the other way around.

A hidden gem at Ellesmere! Great quality food at decent prices. Spicy tuna and salmon roll was my favorite. We tried their flavourful veg options Tofu teriyaki which came with miso soup, salad and rice, and asparagus rolls. We also ordered the Avocado rolls, I found them somewhat bland for my palate. But my vegetarian friends had their hearts full.
The soup is absolutely delicious! I love the brisket ramen. The meat was very tender, soup is well seasoned, and nice thick noodles. Restaurant was clean and modern. Amazing price for the food served and the relatively large portions.
Great service and amazing food! It was super quick and really cheap. THESE PORTIONS ARE VERY FILLING. You do not need to order much more than a bowl of noodles because it's such a large portion. I highly recommend coming to this place and it did seem quite popular when we went. The lamb skweres are out of the world! Great experience here!
Mahalo iā 'oe !!
This poke joint is pretty dope, a solid lunch stop! I hauled The 420 Bowl on a ritual lunch dash which was made ready to pickup super quick.
My favorite thing was the fresh wakame seaweed was my first experience ever getting this legitimate seaweed from a restaurant, totally dope and digged it massively.
The bowl was hearty, wholesome and colorful but missing a bulk of actual greens and was more a concentrated superfood bowl of fats and proteins. It was super small and pretty much the same size as my palm but the same price as BYOB yet a lot smaller which didn't make much sense to me and I really didn't feel any value from the extra Chilli Pepper Tuna or jalapenos. Therefore, super yummy but honestly the worst value for money poké I have had before.
Support local businesses!

If you are looking for authentic Thai food with complex flavours and a balance of freshness and acidity this is not the place. The flavor have been changed to suite local taste buds (sugary sweet) but I am not saying it's not decent food. It's decent Thai "like" food at a reasonable price if you consider $15 for a Pad Thai reasonable. On the up side it was a nice touch to be able to select you spice level. Service was good and the place was clean.
We stopped by around 2pm, and it was still packed! The staff was very accommodating to our large party of 9, even with splitting bills at the end. Great service and fantastic food with unbeatable prices!
Good was so Good , we got two Falafel sandwiches and it was so delicious!!
The guy on the counter was so nice and he helped us with our order .

I loved the dish I ordered. The most traditional of the place. Definitely one of the best pokes I've ever eaten. I recommend!
I got the classic beef noodle, and I found it very average. Broth was yummy but noodles were not chewy at all. The noodles looked hand-pulled but did not taste like it. The beef slices were too dry but that can be a personal preference. The radish slices were kind of undercooked so was hard to chew.
Service was quick and portion was large, good value for the price.
Overall I much prefer Four Four South Village or Hey Noodle.

3.5 stars Nice poke bowl, decent size, very filling! Salmon is fresh and tasty! just the purple rice is old and dry, also I wish there are choice of pickle ginger and seaweed salad, so there would be more flavour. Because other than the salmon, the veggies doesn’t really taste anything, and I didn’t get sweet onions with my order…
Top notch food and service!! We had Mengrai cater our food for our wedding reception, and everything turned out perfect! We are vegans so had a vegan menu catered, and even our non-vegan friends were so impressed with the food! Said our reception completely changed their views on vegan food for the better!! Big props to Peach, Alan and Brandon for making our event such a huge success!! :)
Chicken isn’t top quality. Taste is bland. No flavour. Definitely not returning. Not worth it.
Not my first shawarma store to buy from. These guys chop up the meat like it’s onions. After cutting it from the grille. It’s placed on a horizontal grill and chopped up like it’s onions… weird way of preparing the meat at a shawarma store. The other shawarma shops cut it straight from the vertical grille and place the meat in the pita. This shop operates differently the way they prepare the meat compared to the other shawarma shops I’ve been to.
They have cool old school VW’s parked up in front… worth taking a picture of. Check it out!

Fresh & Tasty food, excellent service and hospitality.

I really like this Thai restaurant, all foods are delicious and bring me the feeling when I visited Thailand before😋👍
Also, both owner & chef welcome guests like old friends, that's why I came with friends 2nd times within few days🥰🇹🇭

Price, quality and location is good, a very good option for fast food and with fast service I like the size of the portions is good.
Amazing experience with Istanbul Shawarma. We ordered for a team lunch of 15 people and they provided us excellent food. We ordered trays of chicken, falafel, salad, tabouleh, rice with dips and pita.
Prepared exactly as we ordered a day before and piping hot. Umut at the restaurant was very helpful and gave us good recommendations to order.

This is the story of an underdog. A small spot in Etobicoke serving absolutely fantastic chicken shawarma with rice. The portions are fantastic for 2 meals per person or for 1 meal for 2 persons. Hence the price is slightly higher but totally worth it. The staff is very courteous and explains how they prepare any of the items you want to enquire about.
The chicken shawarma was freshly cut from the stick and made extra crispy as I requested.
Well done team Mooring Eats. You will see me soon for more 😎

I got the large classic bowl, with no modifications. The fish was fresh and delicious with well marbled salmon and tuna. Veggies were crisp and the house soy/marinade was perfectly balanced. Not overpowering and well seasoned. Very filling, and worth the money to me.
Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The phud Thai, deep fried squid with chili-honey dip (so good), and hot and sour soup were all excellent. They allow you to choose your spice level between 1 and 20. I tried the level 20 and it was definitely very hot, but still had excellent flavour. It wasn't hot just for the sake of being hot, but complimented the food. I would suggest level 10 for someone with a decent spice comfort level.
good taste, and it's good that the food comes out quickly.
The guy who served me was very kind and outgoing. Food tasted good, but was small for the price. Fish seemed fresh.
Limited seating inside, tables had to be cleaned more frequently.
Overall ok place, nothing special imo.

Below average place - and they cheat you by providing less quantities of food when you order online. Really poor. More rice less chicken. STOP CHEATING people man. I do not appreciate the flavors or quantity for this price at all. I will not be visiting this place for food ever again. Might as well get cheap good mcdonalds food instead lol
We enjoyed some takeout sushi on Good Friday it was absolutely delicious and made fresh in front of our eyes as we waited! The lovely owner was kind and took great care of us, we can't wait to be back! It's also super affordable AND she made us feel like family :)
Best pho in Dundas W. got the mixed seafood and veggies pho and they were generous with the seafood, unlike other pho places. Plenty of shrimp and other seafood and the broth es exquisite. Highly recommend!
Ordered the Sushi Tempura Combo for takeout lunch, which came with salad and Miso soup. Large portion of tempura was served. Overall good quality sushi for reasonable prices.
I’ve been going to this place for a couple years (probably once or twice a month) and it never disappoints. I’ve tried a few other popular/well reviewed poke places, but this one’s my favorite.
The purple rice is something I always miss in other places that don’t have it, it’s delicious and the texture is perfect. The sauces are simple, but have the perfect spice and flavor to my taste (I often like to get extra). I usually go for salmon bowls (classic or Hawaii) and the fish is great. The toppings are the only thing that I think could be better - they’re good, but I wish there was a bit more variety and quantity in each bowl.
So I’d rate it a 4.5 due to its fundamentals - great rice, sauces and fish, and good approachable toppings. But if you want more variety and “adventurous” flavors, other places might be a bit better for you.

this was the worst doner I've ever eaten in my life, they sent us the dried doner leftovers from yesterday, they don't take the money they take, don't order, all the chickens were dry and even spoiled, it's a pity for the money you gave, I definitely don't recommend it, you'll throw your money away
The food was good and fresh, waiters are friendly and attentitive, place was clean and cosy. A bit pricier than other sushi places but you're paying for higher quality fish so it's definitely worth it.
Absolutely disgusting. The "chicken shawarma" is sliced, some-kind-of-meat, deep fried maybe, just dried out. Also coated in some sweet sauce. The "meat" came on top of the tiniest salad that was flavorless.
Would strongly recommend anywhere else.

Excellent food and good friendly service. Got the Build Your Own which comes with 2 mains, 1-2 sides, and toppings.
Have been here several times and the food is always fresh and tasty, particularly their creamy spicy salmon poke. For those with an aversion to spice, I'd say it's on the milder side with just the right amount of kick but I'm also a hot sauce lover.
The Hawaiian BBQ chicken is tasty but it's a tad dry and I'd like it more if it was served as a whole piece.
The sides, crab salad and mac salad, were fresh as always and not overloaded with mayo. Got crispy onions as a topping to add texture.
The hidden star of their food is the base which is garlic brown rice. Very tasty rice and better for you with it being brown.

Finally checked out a place I've been wanting to try for a while but never been to as it's a little out of my way.
Needless to say, the experience was excellent and food, even better.
I also like that there's a lot of options to choose from on the menu, including wraps, plates and bowls. Choose from beef to fish to chicken to falafel and more.
Staff were friendly, humble and welcoming. Though parking in the lot is limited, I was easily able to find a spot. I'd like to go back to try more dishes on the menu. There's lots or side options to choose from as well.
Restaurant is clean. Super was quick. Prices are affordable and portion size is generous.

We been coming to Ichiban for some time now & all I have to say is that the food is always fresh & tasty! The service is always excellent! Katie is always super friendly & welcoming. It has become our little favourite sushi spot ! Thank you 🙏🏻
Okay, this was seriously amazing Japanese fried chicken. I had the slider and the curry and both were amazing. The chicken is sake marinated so it has a suddle sweet sake flavour, and the the crunch factor was quite dense. Not too much breading, but serious level of extra crispiness. The chicken also was well seasoned. Not too salty and you can taste everything. Definitely check this spot out if you haven’t. You won’t be disappointed.
This is my go to place for at when I’m on King Street. I usually order the Charisha Bowl which is Sashimi (4 types of fish) with rice, miso soup and salad. I also have the sashimi lunch which is similar. Also good on menu is Volcano Roll, avocado crunch amongst many other special rolls. Their fish is notably fresh, the chefs and lady who serves the customers are super friendly consistently. If you want Japanese at a reasonable price and great service then this is the place.
Tiny but mighty and tasty is how I describe Gushi on Gerrard x Parliament. The portion is more than I expected. Everything is flavourful. Wonderful staff and quick service. Great choice especially if you are craving for quality Japanese fried chicken.
By far my favourite poke spot! I ordered the Poke Bowl with salmon and tuna, with onion crisps, tempura flakes, rice crackers, and Unami soy sauce. The portion sizes are generous and the regular fills me up!
I saw some good reviews at this restaurant so I decided to check it out.
I enjoyed the chicken shawarma at this location and they had a variety of good toppings. As you can tell, the wrap is not overly stuffed and not very saucy so it would be easily kept to consume later on.
I did found the chicken to be a little dry so maybe request that they cut fresh chicken.

The Vietnamese restaurant hack I learned from my brother in law: We like Vietnamese fried spring rolls so we order a vermicelli noodle dish and substitute rice instead of noodles. This way you get a spring roll and more veggies than the rice dishes. This place also wraps their fried spring rolls in rice wrap which gives them a chewier texture that I love.
This is one of the worst restaurants I have been to ! Lentil soup was cold when I complained about how they warmed up in the microwave while giving me a bad look ! After a few minutes they gave us the hot soup but it was nothing like lentil soup ! Looked disgusting! I immediately threw it in the garbage.
Also tried the "lehmcin" it was everything but not bread with meat .
Highly unrecommended!

One of the best poke bowls I have ever had! We had the Shoyu Salmon and Sea Bass with seaweed salad, avocados and many other toppings. Very nicely seasoned and the sauce with lime finish to it was really good. It was shared between two people but definitely left me feeling nice and full. I would definitely have a bowl all to myself after knowing how good it is. Very excited to try other things in the menu, can’t wait to be back again!
The value is ok here; especially the daily specials. The staff are very friendly and quick too. If not for these two things my rating would be a bit lower.
In my order, the fries didn't taste very fresh. Working in fast food in the past, it tasted like I was served fries that were just re-dipped in the fryer to heat up. Also, the pitas were a bit dry/hard too, so likely not the freshest either. The chicken shawarma and toppings were great.
I'll probably go back to see if this was just a one off, but there are other shawarma options in the neighborhood.

Ordered the 1/2 salmon, 1/2 tuna with a bunch of personalized toppings and it was yummy but I still felt hungry after 😒 Bang for your buck could be better, toppings were fresh but there wasn't a huge selection.... sorry but Poké Guys is still my fave! 😋 Don't get me wrong, this place is still great but PG has more selection and is more filling.
Best fried chicken spot in Toronto! I’ve had the H&M (hot and maple) chicken and the Original but the Original is way better. I didn’t find it that much different than the H&M one. It comes with spicy mayo sauce and soy sauce.. honestly the flavour combo is just so good. I’ve ordered a few times now and every time it is fresh, moist and flavourful!
Ordered a regular Hawaii bowl which comes with torched tuna with all their base toppings and some sauce. The flavours and portions are not bad but their cutting of the fish is uneven (see picture) and the torching is also uneven so some bites of fish, especially the smaller pieces, were fully cooked. The Poké Box nearby is a bit better.
Amazing food. The sushi's were huge and probably double the size of what we get elsewhere. The owners were super sweet and gracious and u can tell are proud of the food they serve. We are 3 different types of veggie rolls and a shrimp roll .all th good was excellent. So happy to have been here. Highly recommend this place.

Another excellent experience here. I think they are under new owners but the quality, price and portions are very good. No complaints here
Everything was made fresh to order and relatively quickly too.
Excellent sushi here. The prices aren't the lowest but the quality is top notch and represents good value.
I've been to Osaka, Japan-- while they operate at another level there, this comes close enough!!

I was here before and it was pretty good, but last time was a bit of a miss. A few from my group found the food less flavourful and they missed one of our meals entirely. No music in the place... just voices...
Pricier than the average Vietnamese restaurant?
Food came quick though, and some of the dishes were quite good!

I ♥️Hoki Poke. They offer quality fresh bowls that satisfy picky health nuts.
I've tried 5 other Poke restaurants in Toronto and consider Hoki Poke one of the BEST.
My "go to" order is their Spicy Poke Bowl. It's a super gorgeous dish with fresh salmon, spicy mayo, cucumber, edamame, green spinach leaves, sesame seeds, red cabbage, and crunchy tempura flakes, on a bed of black rice. I highly recommend adding seaweed salad and avocado. They are very generous with their portions, and medium is more than enough. Their large bowl has a deeper base with more black rice, and I am way too full to enjoy it at that point in my meal.
I would love to see this spot continue to bring in more business. They definitely deserve it.

Friendly staff. The gentleman was very patient with explaining the different options.
I ordered the beef gyro and chicken shawarma mix street sandwich.
It was still extremely tasty, specially the chicken was seared to perfection. Loved the hot sauce and garlic sauce as well. Wasn’t spicy but very flavorful.
Also the quantity was very large. Worth the $8.
Definitely want to try their Kofta sandwich next time, which is meatballs.

I’ve been recently buying sushi for me & my family a lot from here! Even though I lived in this neighborhood over 20 plus years & wasn’t a big sushi fan! We always get just the California rolls. But will to try different types as I learn more about them. This place has made me a sushi lover now! Lol . Staff are super friendly & the food is always made to order & super duper fresh & good!
Update: I came back here and I changed my mind from 4 to 5 this time. They now accept credit card. The food is as good as my previous experience.
The food deserves 5*. Few concerns: first, a dirty washroom with no towels; second, not accepting credit card. Baklava was good. Turkish was authentic. Shawerma Pide was something different than what I tried in Istanbul, but still it was good enough, especially the bread. The price is also affordable. Main food is on average less than 10$ and Tea is 2.5, Baklava the same. I come back here again if I revisit the district.

Amazing Japanese fried chicken. I’ve always seen this place on Uber/foodora/ritual but I’m all about supporting places like these without the third party. This place is quite the hidden gem considering the area. I really enjoyed the food here at this cute lowkey joint. The guys here were polite and helpful. It was less than $10 for a regular size fried chicken with purple rice. There are other mix and match options too though, but the chicken was so dam crispy, and juicy. My friend loved the food too. I am hoping to go again soon.
Not bad for the price but every roll has too much rice(or too less ingredients). It’s better to buy sushi when they are on sale or special offer. Staff was friendly too.
