| - I've come to this huge Asian food festival for years but this is my first review. This festival boasts of giving Canadians a taste of the Asian night market life, which is jam packed with screaming vendors and long lines of customers. But that's the whole point! That's the Asian feel.
I get that they want to promote young Asian artists so they have a stage set up, but the sound is always either too loud or soft or the music is overwhelming, etc. It's so loud it rips through your rib cage.
This year, they have a bigger section of games but I was disappointed in how alcohol oriented it was. Beer pong and picking up a BEER bottle with some hook? This is a family friendly event so I assumed all activities would be rated E for everyone.
I didn't try a lot because I wasn't hungry but the food selection is about 80% old stuff, 20% new. Each year, they will have new food concepts introduced, but if you want to play it safe, a lot of the booths are safe regular food, like lamb skewers, takoyaki, bowl noodles, and drinks.
I think what brought my rating to a 3 is, aside from music that's too loud (and often just meh performances), is the amount of trash on the ground. I understand that it's a lot of people but it still feels gross stepping on someone's half-eaten waffle.
I'd come again but have a plan in mind so you don't spend too much time lining up.
