It's good. I can definitely imagine a time where a meal here was less than $10, but gone are those days. Due to social media this place always has a line and I definitely got a chance to try it. We ordered the beef tendon noodle soup and a salt and pepper spiced squid and pork dish. Both were over $10 but I think slightly under $15. They take debit and cash.

The meal was good but the portion is not really big for the price. I would either expect a meal from a place like this to be a bigger portion or a cheaper price. The taste was good but typical of a Chinese take-out shop. This is definitely a decent option in the area but nothing you can't find somewhere else in Scarborough.

Did my first Omventure escape room last weekend with a group that had done all the ones at the Markham location before. We picked The Red Admiral room, which was marketed as 4/5 difficulty - and it definitely was! This is definitely the most challenging escape room I've done, and I've done quite a few.

My main issue was that while the puzzles were difficult, the design of the room had some flaws. Hard to elaborate without going into details of the puzzles, but there was one glitch (and we were told afterwards it was a glitch) that really had us running in circles. I also found it so difficult to read some of the words required for solving the puzzles due to the dim lighting in most of the rooms. Of course the lighting added to the atmosphere, but added some unnecessary challenges that didn't have anything to do with solving the puzzles.

If everything had gone smoothly the flow of the room does seem quite good and the puzzles are unique and challenging. The room is also a great size and you could definitely play with a group of 8 while having space and activities for each person to do. With our group of 5 it was just enough to do each puzzle, but a few extra bodies wouldn't have hurt.

I'd come back for other puzzles but hopefully those rooms are newer / don't have any glitches.

I live very close to Wako Sushi but never thought to try it as it's rarely busy which usually isn't a good sign for a restaurant. I finally ordered two bento boxes on the Skip the Dishes, which I found to be pretty average. The price is a bit high, at $24, but it was quite expensive for a bento box of this quality. I found my chicken teriyaki to be quite bland, I wish it was grilled with a bit more fire to get a charred taste. The salmon sashimi that was included was also not the best, although the slices were quite thick and the portion was good. Not to say I didn't think it was fresh, but I just didn't enjoy the texture or taste overall. The tempura, miso soup and salad were all okay.

I probably won't be back as there are plenty of better sushi and Asian restaurants in the Yonge and Finch area.

Do not recommend this climb... Surprised so many people say it's worth it. I'm young and fit and I still didn't find it to be worth my time. The problem is not the climb, as it's just a ramp and barely at an incline. Definitely easier than climbing 40 flights of stairs. The issue is that at the top, there is really not much to see. There are people flooding every corner of the viewpoint so you are competing to get a spot with a view. And not every spot has a good view - most are covered by grates for safety, while others you can barely get a decent view of anything. People are also extremely sweaty after the climb so it does not have a pleasant smell. You are better off spending more time in the beautiful Cathedral.

Authentic Chinese restaurant. Tons of other options in the area but we just sat down at the first one we found. Good prices, but similar to the other restaurants in the area.

We ordered a beef noodle soup (€6), sweet and sour pork (€6), and Beijing Peking Duck (€14). The beef noodle soup is definitely their specialty, with hand pulled noodles and a great amount of meat for the price. The chili oil they put on the table is extremely spicy and I put way too much in my soup! The sweet and sour pork is not really authentic, with a heavy ketchup flavour, but it's probably not their specialty. The peking duck is not in the Beijing style, but for the price, it's great. We found that all peking duck in Spain/Portugal is made in this manner. I enjoyed it but wished they had green onions as an accompaniment rather than white onions.

Overall we paid around €30 for the three dishes, rice and a water. Amazing value and great taste.
