| - It is with feelings of bittersweet joy that I sit down to write my review of NHK. For the past year and a half I have been making monthly treks to Toronto visiting my friend.
Inevitably it would be late at night/very early morning and we would be hungry and what else is better at 3AM than having dinner and a floor show? Anytime after midnight, you are pretty much guaranteed to see something that will make you talk about it later. One visit my friend witnessed a bachelor party in the back with more food on the table than I could shake a stick at, and the guys too drunk to even notice. However, that's isn't really important in the long run, what is important is that we never had a bad meal here. Not once in 6 visits totaling more than 8 hours sitting, enjoying the day. She loves getting the Shrimp in Spicy garlic sauce with Eggplant, and the crab corn chowder soup. I am a huge fan of the Cantonese style beef on a hot plate with onions. Between us we've eaten a lot of things on the menu and didn't even make a dent on being able to say we've tried most of it. But we did enjoy all of it.
However, what I think I will miss the most is the entertaining service that comes along with your meal. We nicknamed one of our favorites "Mr Happy" it always brought a smile to my face when I would walk in and see him just as pissed as ever hating his job to the point of it being funny. Here's an actual conversation that took place between us and him.
He walks up to the chair a the table beside us (Mind you we were in the front leftmost table up front) put both hands on the chair and stretched his back much like a cat does upon waking up. He stares at the ceiling for a second and then it starts.
Him - "You ready yet?!?!"
Us - "Yeah"
Him - "Whachuwant!?"
Us - "Cantonese beef on a hotplate and pork chow mein"
Him - "Ya!"
Takes his hands off the chair, back straightens up, and he walks away. We were quite flabbergasted but also laughing our faces off at the same time since we're fairly laid back at 2AM. Since I didn't want a Katana through the heart I didn't bother saying much, but this incident did lead to the founding of "Mr. Happy".
I see that I am just babbling here, so to sum up, here goes. There is nothing amazing about the atmosphere here it is simple as it is effective. Get a seat, give the order, eat the food..There is nothing fantastic about the service or prices, you'll get water, tea, and the occasional refill. Servers know what things are in case you see something on a table you like they can help you identify it. The food is great tasting, the hours are perfect for night people, and it's always a good show late at night. I will truly miss eating here a few times a month.
