Given some of the glowing reviews of the other Rose City Kitchen location on Queen St, I was expecting a similar experience at this Toronto St location. Sadly, that was not the case. I ordered the RCK original box lunch with STEAK for $10. Not only was the steak really just ground-up hamburger meat, but it was burnt so bad that you couldn't tell it apart from a lump of charcoal. I can't imagine it was the owner/chef that prepared the food and assume it was just an un-trained new employee that has absolutely no common sense whatsoever. Dude, if you wouldn't eat a lump of charcoal yourself, then don't serve it!
The rest of the meal was barely tolerable. Bland rice, soggy wet fries, and the rose sauce that everyone talks about wasn't that special.
I felt sick after eating some of the burnt meat that I ended up throwing out half the box.
For this price, I would much rather go to Villa Madina in the nearby Scotia food court for Mediterranean fast-food. Bigger quantity, better taste, and the meat is actually edible!
