Walking in I was greeted by a young man whom sat me at the bar for my meal. Overall the place looks a little like its trying too hard to be something instead of just being. There is a uncomfortable atmosphere and no tv to watch behind the bar while you wait for your meal. It was almost empty besides two others sitting at the bar eating also which I found odd for 7pm in a Saturday night.
I asked what they would recommend that night and they suggested the pork belly, which I was excited to try. I watched the cook start cooking and globed in a yellow gelatinous substance with the beans which made me a bit wary of my meal. It was presented to me in a large bowl with the fat side lightly torched.
I began eating and the flavor a were ok, it was very, very rich a bit too much and that gelatinous broth the cook used was almost too much to handle. I finished up, paid and left.
I took a long walk on Younge and about a hour after my meal my stomach started turning, enough to make me cut my night short and go back to my hotel. It was there that I started throwing up and the oil that came up coated the toilet and I had to flush it many times for it to actually go down. I know that might be a bit much to hear in a review but I was sick the entire night from this meal and it ruined my whole and last night in Toronto.
I won't be back to this place ever but there are soo many other options in this great city that it won't be a problem.
