  • "So I can only sit here for one hour?" I ask... "Oh no, one hour can change your day" says the waitress... Oops, lost in translation perhaps? That's kind of how i felt about this place, like maybe I didn't quite understand it but it knew it's purpose. Small cups with a rounded base that sit a little clumsily but never tips, fat forks and spoons that don't really pick up food like it should, and bean bag chairs great for naps, but maybe not so great for eating food... I felt like all the choices were a bit impractical for eating but maybe because it's supposed to be more of a lounge for bubble tea? Having said that the food was really good. Personally, I'd say this isn't really Asian Fusion, the menu items are pretty common dishes you'd find in a Chinese tea house in Taipei (and I'd imagine Beijing or Shanghai though I've never been), they're just not the ones you'd see on a Chinese take out menu in North America. Beef noodle, marinated eggs (aka brown eggs), tang yuan (aka glutinous rice dumplings), these are all pretty traditional Chinese dishes. In fact, One Hour is the only place I've found in Toronto to do a perfect sweet & spicy sauce using the famous numbing spiciness of Szechuan peppercorns. It's the perfect mix of sweet, spicy, salty, sour that leaves a slightly numbing feeling on your lips and tongue. If you've never tried it, it's enough to go just to feel that sensation. The heat is completely different then the burning spiciness of chilies. The sauce also has fresh cilantro and sesame to round out the flavor. The noodles are served cool, the wontons hot, both spot on and well worth trying. Although this place is a bubble tea place, I didn't try the bubble tea. It seemed way over priced, especially in comparison to the food... $5.99 for wontons, $4.99 for tea... Which is probably why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Also it would be nice to see a few more menu items... Maybe a pork chop rice or chicken cold noodle in a sesame sauce or braised pork belly... but once again, maybe I'm misunderstand their purpose...
