| - I was visiting Toronto from Northern Virginia, and yelp seemed to have a lot of positive reviews so I thought I would check it out. I brought a friend who was non-vegetarian, and I was not eating meat during this meal.
We had the following.
Appetizer: CURRIED QUINOA SALAD
Her Entree: KHAO SOY GAI
My Entree: SPINACH AND RICOTTA CANNELONI
The Quinoa Salad appetizer was pretty decent. I've never had quinoa before, but I've heard of it as a healthy alternative to rice.
My friend wanted to try the Pad Thai, but I talked her into the Khao Soy Gai. I later had leftovers of this a few days later, and I agreed with her assessment. It wasn't very good. It was basically some chicken with some noodles. I was expecting something a lot more flavorful. It was not really up to that.
I had the Spinach and Ricotta Canneloni, which I thought was pretty tasty. I also had leftovers a few days later, and it was basically still very good. For a vegetarian option, this seemed pretty good. I often have a tough time finding a vegetarian option that is healthy and tasty. This menu had limited options for this type of diet.
The location was relatively easy to find on the north of Queen Street opposite a few indian restaurants. It has a relatively busy environment. Many fo the folks there were engaged in heavy conversation, and most seemed to be having a good time. I would recommend this if you are looking for a chatty environment that many people would enjoy. Also, the desserts looked good althought we didn't get a chance to try them out.
I put $$ for the cost, which is in the $11-30/person range, but we didn't have any alcohol or other drinks, just water, so please take that into account.
As far as the service, the waiter seemed relatively nice, but I wouldn't say anything memorable. It seems they are fairly busy, so you can get lost in the shuffle.
