Really enjoyed the service and the food! The service was exceptional and they were able to provide an amazing experience for me and my partner. The heater was temporarily broken on one side of the restaurant but there was a small space heater that warmed up our side.

Everything was excellent at the good son! Our server did their best to accommodate all of our requests and they even gave us a drink on the house when our kid pilled one of our drinks all over the table.

The dough of the pizza is great! I just wished the fried calamari plate, the margarita, and the dark and stormy drink wer a little bit bigger. The staff is charming and sweet. Great hosts. Pizza is like Eataly's! Awesome, feels legit Italian. Check out my pictures.

One of the best Italian restaurants I have been there in Toronto. The food ingredients were so fresh and the taste was so good. Pizza was really crispy and Pasta with mushrooms and truffle oil tasted great. The salad was well dressed with peaches slices.
The menu was not clear enough and not classified, so for placing an order we should ask staff to show the items in the menu, for example it didn’t mention pasta section. If they revise it, definitely 5 star review would be good for this restaurant.

Our table of three decided to start with the pear salad and share three mains: Mauna Loa pizza, Bulgogi Short Ribs and the Mushroom Tagliatelle. Food portions were perfect but the food itself was only good, not great. Would recommend as a good patio option if you're in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

It was my 30th birthday yesterday and our server Jazz made me feel so special!!!!!

It was easy to book our reservation on open table + since our reservations were for 4:45pm we were reminded that we could catch happy hour!! We promptly orders drinks and appetizers- so delicious!

My guests and I were so impressed with the quality of food, the service and the atmosphere (the decor, lighting and bathrooms were so clean). I didn’t even know you can see inside the kitchen (depending where you sit) it was clean and organized!!! Huge wood fire oven for the pizza!

Jazz was so friendly and tentative to our needs! She helped us navigate the menu, ensured our waters were always filled, and our plates were always replaced (between meals- as we did family style)

Since it was my birthday I received a complimentary dessert, my BF who was a chef raved the authenticity of the tiramisu !!! It’s a must get item when you visit!!

A great big thank you to Jazz + rest of the staff for making my day so special! (It’s very obviously how well the entire staff works together! A great sign of good management!!)

Will be back again xo

Surprised by how cute the patio is! Had nice drinks however they accidentally gave us virgin lemonades and then 30 minutes later came back with two shots which was really unexpected…. Would have preferred them to give us the proper drink made again.

Veggie burger was great!

Just had dinner here few ours ago with my family. We were wowed how they handle their customers. From the time you entered the restaurant someone will acknowledge you and brings you to your seats. Staffs are all so nice and approachable. No wonder they have a good customer service here because they have the best GM. I want to say thank you for the great dining experience. We were family of three and we were taken good care. Our orders came on perfect time. All fresh and I can truly say their foods are amazing! Their wooden pizzas are the best! My daughter who is petite just left one slice of Margherita Pizza. She really loved it! She said it was like the pizza we ate in Italy 🇮🇹 few months ago when we were on vacation. Another excellent pizza which I forgot the name was the pizza with pistachios and honey. A unique pizza! Never tried anything similar like this before and never regretted to try this. Another excellent choice was the wagyu meat ball with curry sauce. We also had Mushroom Pappardelle, fried calamari and Brussels sprouts. For desserts, we had tiramisu, scoop of ice cream ( mango and strawberry flavor), Panna cotta and vanilla latte. OMG, Panna cotta and tiramisu were also winners! I love the presentation! It's a fine dining way! Instagrammable! Salute to those in the kitchen who works so diligently in making all foods palatable. We were all satisfied! Whenever food is brought in to our table, staff will tell us about the menu giving us a brief what's in it making sure we are not allergic to anything on it. It's so good to see and make customers feel that they are really welcome in the place, makes you feel comfortable and making sure you will have the best experience. I think one of the guy who always comes to our table is one of the Managers there too. Always checking on us about the food we ordered and if we need anything else. Over all, 100% highly recommended this restaurant. We will come back again for sure. Ambiance is really good. I like the internal decorations. The patio is open too so you have options where you want to sit. Keep it up Good Son, Don Mills! You guys are amazing! I am looking forward to try your brunch menu on weekend.

I recently visited The Good Son for lunch and had a pretty good experience overall. We decided to try the MAUNA LOA pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The combination of pineapple and ham was perfect, proving once again that pineapple does belong on pizza! We also ordered the SPICY BRUSSEL SPROUTS [VGN]. They were a bit burnt, but despite that, they had a great flavour. It was an enjoyable meal for two.

The service was decent. The staff were quick to respond and attentive to our needs, which made the dining experience pleasant. However, the indoor decor was not to my taste—it felt a bit too old and dated. On the other hand, the outdoor seating was much more inviting, especially in the cool summer weather. It provided a lovely atmosphere to enjoy our meal.

Overall, The Good Son is a solid choice for lunch with its tasty food and decent service. If you visit, I highly recommend sitting outside if the weather permits. It made our lunch much more enjoyable. I'll definitely consider coming back to try more dishes.

Service was kind of slow even though it wasn’t too busy. I ordered a sangria and it wasn’t good. It tasted like it was just sitting out, not sure if it’s premixed? It was cloudy… all of the sangrias I’ve had are dark red like the wine was freshly poured not pink and cloudy. Then the steak bowl was…. Very lacklustre. The steak was medium rare but it was so tough, very chewy and had no seasoning. Then there was cabbage, rice, avocado and cucumber. There was no sauce, dressing, seaming, nothing. I was just eating white rice with raw veggies since the steak was so hard.
Have been here many times and always had a good time. Food is 8/10 and service is fast and great. Parking is limited on the streets (green p) and there is a rooftop patio in summer. The burger is 8/10 and fish and chips is 6/10. I prefer to have snacks in here with drinks 🍹 instead of going for dinner. Overall I give 8/10.

Quite average
Fish and chips is quite greasy and nachos is good. But the veggies with the nachos are old and slumpy

I really like the room and the building ..the sound of the mics was good as was the sound of the room .I would recommend it if you like a nice modern karaoke room...overall there were no major issues.. I would recommend it. They could improve on service, being warmer in terms of service and more enthusiastic to help. The food was hot 🔥 but the wings were boring. Id recommend the dumplings!

I ordered my steak to be cooked medium-rare, but it arrived well-done. However, the staff corrected it without any hassle, and I appreciated their prompt action. Overall, the food was decent, but nothing outstanding. My friend also felt that the fish dishes were overcooked. On the bright side, the fries were exceptional and had a satisfying crunch to them.

Overall not impressed with this place.
They just showed us the room and no explanation given on how to use the system or what the order menu options were.
I had to go look for them to ask. Or else that 15min of us just sitting around would be a waste.
The price for bottle service my God. Is it 4x the price. So. Just be aware that you're paying a lot for bottles and use YouTube to sing...no system. The system they said isn't updated at all with recent songs...so to cast YouTube to sing.

Even after buying all the drinks they didn't think to bring water or coke or cranberry
We had to go after we were so dehydrated to get them to bring cranberry ....no coke we kept asking for coke.
There was like 5 people working that day including the owner it seems. So I really don't know what was going on.

I'm just glad I had good friends with me who were able to turn this trash situation into something better.
Highly don't recommend this place unless you're okay with just paying for next to no service for a YouTube sing along room.
Much better options out there for sure. Will do better research next time to avoid running into these types of places.

Only nice thing about this place is it's pretty. Nicely decorated. That's it.

Our manager chose this location for our staff Christmas dinner this year. It was not very busy when we got there and the ambiance was very inviting and pleasant. I ordered the Smokehouse Deluxe Beef Burger which is served with fries. I enjoyed my food even though the meat was a little more charred than it should have been. Our waitress was great and gave our group exceptional service. I think this is one of the best premium casual dining and socializing venues in town.

This is an enjoyable karaoke place with very large rooms and bright atmospheres.
They offer “Happy Hours” at a price of $25 per person, plus a free drink.

Notice: the free drink does not include teas, only soft drinks!
(The employee did not bother telling us that when we ordered).

The happy hour pricing can quickly increase based on a non-soft drink you order or additional food.

My recent experience at Da Nang restaurant left me disappointed and deeply concerned about the ethical and trustworthiness of their business practices. I ordered their "Banh Mi Bo Kho" (Beef Stew), and what I received can only be described as a bowl filled with 98% beef fat. This incident raises serious questions about the integrity of this restaurant and has far-reaching implications for both customers and the community as a whole.

First and foremost, it is crucial to emphasize the unethical nature of the restaurant's actions. Serving a dish that is overwhelmingly composed of beef fat not only misleads customers but also demonstrates a blatant disregard for their well-being. This deceptive practice is unethical and constitutes false advertising, as the menu item promised a flavorful beef stew, not a greasy bowl of fat. It undermines the trust that customecustomers' trustets a dangerous precedent for the industry.

Moreover, such unethical behaviour reflects poorly on the entire Vietnamese cuisine community. Vietnamese cuisine is known for its exquisite flavours, balance of ingredients, and the care with which dishes are prepared. This incident tarnishes the reputation of Vietnamese cuisine by associating it with deceitful practices. It is disheartening to see a restaurant compromise the image of a rich culinary tradition that has brought joy to countless people around the world.

The impact of this unscrupulous act extends beyond the individual customer. It has broader consequences for the community, especially in a diverse neighbourhood like Jane and Finch. Restaurants play a significant role in shaping the cultural identity and reputation of a neighbourhood. When a restaurant engages in unethical practices, it reflects poorly on the entire community. Such incidents can deter potential visitors and investors, hindering the economic and social growth of the area.

Furthermore, unethical behaviour by a restaurant can also lead to economic repercussions for local businesses. Customers who feel betrayed by one establishment are less likely to explore other dining options in the area. This can hurt the livelihoods of honest, hardworking restaurateurs who rely on the support of the community to thrive.

In light of this unfortunate experience, I strongly recommend that patrons consider alternative Vietnamese restaurants in the Jane and Finch area that genuinely respect their customers. Supporting businesses that uphold ethical standards is not only a matter of personal satisfaction but also a means of encouraging responsible and trustworthy practices in the culinary industry.

In conclusion, the incident involving the deceptive serving of "Banh Mi Bo Kho" with an overwhelming amount of beef fat is a clear example of unethical and untrustworthy behaviour by the restaurant. It not only harms individual customers but also hurts the reputation of Vietnamese cuisine and the community as a whole. As consumers, we have the power to demand transparency, integrity, and ethical practices from the establishments we patronize. It is essential to hold such businesses accountable and support those who genuinely value their customers and community. This experience serves as a stark reminder of the importance of ethical conduct in the restaurant industry and the consequences of failing to uphold it.
Food is good. Service could be friendlier. BUT we came again to have dinner on a Saturday at 6pm and the place was closed. They did not post it on their website and no notice on door. Very very disappointed.

It’s a cool and spacious place but the drinks are very expensive.
Some dishes are very traditional from central of Vietnam! I have been here a few time and tried some of them, but the only keep in mind is "Mì Quảng"; the taste made you feel like you are right on the street in Vietnam!

Nick the owner was friendly and nice. We got the chicken souvlaki entree and the fried calamari. The rice was flavourful and the chicken was tender and juicy. Upstairs bar had a cozy vibe with nice decor. Come if you want some good authentic Greek food!

Went there on a weekday night. Cleanliness and style of the place were decent but the reception added a mysterious, unexpected 15% service charge without explaining it or telling us when we walked in. When we asked for the price before agreeing for their service, we were only told that they charge $10 per person every hour.

I would be less frustrated if they actually provided service. All the staff did was walk us to the karaoke room and told us time was up during the whole 3 hours we were there. Tricky and unreasonable way of blindsiding customers.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Union Social Eatery and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend trying their avocado dip, which was not only tasty but also reasonably priced.

During happy hour, the drink prices were incredibly affordable, making it the perfect opportunity to enjoy some refreshing beverages without breaking the bank. The quality of the drinks was excellent, offering a wide variety to suit different preferences.

Our waitress went above and beyond, providing attentive and friendly service throughout our visit. She even took a memorable picture of my girlfriend and me, which was a thoughtful gesture I

I've been a few times, and it's always delicious. Finally, I got to take my husband, and we sat upstairs. Friday night regulars. All so friendly. NICK the bartender IS AMAZING! He's so friendly,abd attentive even though he was crazy busy. There was a little mix up with our appetizer (they forgot to make it) that next time we go, it's on him. Great service, atmosphere and food. Can't wait to go back.
It was my first time here and it was really good. We order hot pot and the taste was delicious. It’s an affordable restaurant and a Vietnamese friend recommended.

Very cool place. Very accommodating for 10 people. There’s a minimum of $400 so we had to buy a lot of drinks and food which wasn’t a good idea after coming from dinner. the room was spacious. The machine was easy to use. They had a lot of songs but not a lot of the oldies and the classics. service was good. They do have smoking rooms so it did smell very strong.

The food is worse then I expected. I’m so disappointed they sent me an oder of over-cooked spring roll and the beef was messing. Customer sevice was bad too, I asked them for a missing uber order, they didn’t do anything and just asked me to find it myseft. Never order hear again.

This place was not very good. My husband’s pho was on the sweeter side and the portion was significantly smaller than what you’d expect for an XL. I ordered the bun bo hue and they don’t give the traditional meats and blood - it was just flank meat and that was it. Also lacked the usual strong lemongrass flavour. Overall we would not be going back here and there are a variety of fantastic pho restaurants in the area that we’d choose over this place (such as pho huong trang and pho con bo!)

Our server was lovely and had a wonderful energy. The place was cozy. The hummus was delicious but the calamari was nothing special. I had the lamb shank special which came with delicious lemon orzo soup and I had vegetables (nothing special) and lemon roasted potatoes (which were undercooked). I'd recommend for atmosphere and service.

This is a review for delivery

I often think eating out means having something unhealthy; meals generally contain more salt and more fat. That’s until we ordered in from Karbouzi and found their chicken souvlaki dinner ($26) tasted homemade. This isn’t a disparaging comment towards the chef, the entire meal was clean tasting leaving me satisfied but not sinfully so.

The chicken was covered with a delicate char and remained tender thanks to the pepper slices in between that seem to baste the bird with juices. There wasn’t an outrageous portion of sides, the protein simply accompanied with lemony roast potatoes and fluffy rice that were both low on salt, but the cool tzatziki and chicken juices really helped.

Food was good, I had the UFO burger with the market salad. The salad was delicious and definitely different than an average house salad. The kitchen was out of a few ingredients at the time, our waitress very kindly apologized for this. The staff were nice and welcoming. The rooftop patio was a cozy environment, although we were seated a little too close to another table. Overall, great experience and food.

We ordered on UberEats. Food tasted good. Portions are smaller than expected. Honestly, when it arrived it looked underwhelming (especially for price; i recognize presentation isnt a thing with delivered food, but relative to other deliveries its dissapointing). Again it actually tasted quite good. Overall: pricey for delivered Greek food so we won't do that again, but we aren't aversed to trying it again as a dine-in experience.
One of a few restaurant in Toronto that serves Bò né! It was attractive and delicious. Each portion of Bò né is served with 2 Vietnamese buns and is worth the price tag! The restaurant also serves a lot of other Vietnamese dishes.

The facility is good and clean. The service is slow since there’s two people tending to many rooms. You can bring outside food, but no beverages whatsoever.

We entered with great attitudes towards the karaoke experience. The machine broke down on us, the microphone broke down, then the remote went. We were moved to a different room only to be asked to pay for a full alcohol bottle if we wanted a VIP room.

The other room was worse in seating (downgraded from couch seating to wood) and appearance, but the machine worked. It is not at all user friendly. It takes a very long time to pick a song and the remote is a disaster to use. For all this trouble, they gave us an extra 40 minutes.

I’m not at all impressed by the place. $50/hour was unheard of. Would not recommend for many many reasons.

I’m glad I was with a close group of friends to make the best of it, but this experience ruined my karaoke expectations. There are many others that have better reviews, and this one I can see how the ratings will continue to go lower.

Always get the fried chicken wings tossed in sauce. They are absolutely delicious! They just recently changed their coffee grains to something with a more with a chocolatey aroma.
