Here I was trekking on my old "hood" on a nice Sunday afternoon and showing my 9 year son where I grew up and it's lunch time and we are both hungry. This seemed like the perfect hole in the wall. There was a line up and communal tables - always a good sign. Interesting thing despite my liking to this place ironically was for different reasons then most of glowing reviews on here. For instance it was as not cheap as I first thought. They didn't bring the food right away, which is actually a good sign... people any place that brings the food with in the first 5 minutes means it is doubtful it was made to order. We start off with the chicken with noodles and veggies. Tip if you have kids... always order noodles you can't go wrong ))) It was good and my son loved sharing a table with other people as we chatted... only wish more places in TO would adopt this. Next came a near perfect beef with cashews. I would say it took a good 20 minutes for dish to come out and it was well worth the wait. The tender beef melted in our month like butter with the crispy cashews a good add on for texture. The sauce was a very different, not overly spicy but not bland either. I think this dish was about $14 not cheap for a place like this but well worth it.
I will be back !
