| - This restaurant is location right on the corner of Harbord and Robert St, though the sign is a subtle and easily missed. Parking is a pain (street parking) before 7pm as you need a permit.
I came here on a Saturday night with my boyfriend and we were late due to parking. The servers were super nice about it. Originally, we had wanted to try the Rasa Experience, however, due to time constraints (there was another reservation for our table after us), we decided to order two appetizers and two entrees each and then share a dessert. We ordered the Smoked fish and chicken dumplings to start. Boy, these were delicious and perfectly seasoned. We loved the crunchy dumpling exterior and the lovely broth they poured on when they presented it at our table. The smoked fish was presented beautifully and paired well with the citrus fruit (mandarin, maybe?).
For the entrees, we ordered the Octopus and the Wagyu ribs, which was upgraded to flank for that night. I was not a fan of the octopus due to the mushy texture, but the pork belly and the slaw was great. The wagyu flank was seasoned well but was too tough. The entrees were seasoned well, but were disappointing compared to their appetizers.
Although we were full by the end of it, we ordered the Cereal dessert which turned out to be thoroughly satisfying. Both my boyfriend and I fought over who got the last spoon of the ice cream.
Service is great here, even if the food is a little slow. However, I had no complaints as each dish was presented beautifully and tasted great.
