The food, the staff - it's a big ole WOW! the only downside : the hours.
5 - 10 p.m.
Their takeout menu notes lunch specials - Fridays from 11 am - 2 pm
I'd like to be able to go there for lunch on a weekend.
Biggest hits lately - the walnut chicken, pork rolls and fried bean cakes. The fried bean cakes - 'organic tofu served with our home-made peanut sauce'. Killer. The pork rolls aren't those nasty smooth cigarillo-shaped things with minced pork. They've got chunks of identifiable pork in nice, crispy, lumpy rolls made in the back.
In season, there is sticky mango rice available.
Our waitress (she was really wonderful), recommended fried bananas with green tea ice cream for dessert. Great idea!
The takeout business seems to be its mainstay (about 10 men arrived in SUVs in a 30 minute period to pick up on our last visit), though by the time we left on Friday night, there were about five tables in use.
Washrooms are the Toronto resto standard, downstairs down a long corridor. Clean - with more air fresheners and pot pourri than I've ever seen in a tiny washroom.
