| - Dashed in here with hubby and friends in between lectures at a U of T symposium.
It's on the third floor and not accessible. You go up one flight of stairs outdoors, over a couple of closed restaurants, and then one more flight indoors.
It seems a little shabby, but bright and cheerful nonetheless. Big windows overlook Bloor Street and the ROM. Everything looks a little on the old side but is essentially clean.
Because we were in a hurry, we didn't want a full meal. We ordered three entrees -- hubby and I shared a large bun with shrimp, R had some kind of multi-meat bun, and S had a fried egg and pork on rice. The large servings are shareable if you want a light meal, and the small servings looked to be pretty filling for one person. The food was fast, and really fresh and tasty. The waiter kept our teapot full too. The fish sauce is probably house made, as it was in a many-times-used sriracha bottle.
With just entrees, no dessert or beverages, the four of us ate for under $30. Can't beat that. Note that you can only use plastic if you order more than $10. I'm only rating this place as low as I am because of the inaccessibility and the general shabbiness. But I have a soft spot for holes-in-the-wall with great food, and I'll go again if I'm in the neighbourhood.
