Interesting fusion spot! Ample seating inside, with great ambiance and friendly service. Easy to get to as a commuter being close to Osgoode station right along Queen W st.
We tried some popular dishes and ultimately, as a HUGE spice girlie, My friend and I found the food surprisingly mid and would recommend it for folks who would be satisfied by a simpler spin on E Asian food .. where the flavour profiles are sharply reduced/ more bland. E.g. group / work meals where you want to have a menu with something for everyone (non ambitious foodies) while being a tad not basic. Drinks and dessert (not too sweet) were great - loved the lychee cocktail :)
The vibes were nice overall and I'd come back for snacks/desserts and cocktails.

This location is great, easy to get to, and there's an abundance of menu options to choose from. Orders are taken at the cash register and you are given a number to take a table of your choosing if you dine in - when it's ready they bring your food over to you and water in reusable tableware (plates, cups etc.).
There's plenty of comfortable seating, the ceiling is high and the space feels comfortable and open. However, my friend and I found the menu hit or miss and the portions small compared to the relatively high costs.
The jerk chicken power bowl was really good, I'd get it again, but the matcha was extremely mild (low flavour, it tasted like milk after the first few sips and was very low on sweetness) and the green salad bowl was extremely underwhelming in flavour and needed some more dressing/moisture.

Cozy hole in the wall sushi spot with good sushi! Restaurant is easy to get to and accessible via ttc. They have a wide selection of rolls and sets which are served nicely. Appetizers were ok - tried the veggie tempura and japchae.
The food here is always great - especially the khao soi, pineapple fried rice & sweet potato fritter! Nice to see that the portions are still large and consistent, and great for sharing. The carrot cheesecake was also a great option for a not too sweet dessert. Cocktails were just a bit hit/miss. Staff are overall friendly and efficient enough. Definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time as this location is often busy. They do have an outdoor patio but I wish it had more coverage/shelter from the elements/wind.
Was feeling a classic lunch and ended up here. The patio is nice but the seats aren't the comfiest, we also weren't offered an umbrella when it was super sunny - when one was freed up it went to a table that came after us and had partial shade. The menu was quite extensive and it was difficult narrowing down what we wanted to try. Food wise everything was very satisfying and the portions were good! Loved the mussels in tomato sauce with veggies most - it's an app but can easily be a main because it's so filling and well portioned. Will definitely return.
