Since the Tea Shop 168 near Yonge & Gerrard was permanently closed, I was on the lookout for a new place in downtown where I could grab a bite and work on my laptop. My new "secret hideout" needs to meet these criteria: free Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, reasonably low noise level, and decent food and drink options. I'm happy to announce that Basil Box perfectly filled that void.
I was greeted with so much enthusiasm, it was heart warming. Since it was my first visit, I was given a brief "how to" on how their menu works. I ended up getting the five-spice steak on a bed of rice noodles and a plethora of awesome toppings. The food tasted fresh and the portion was perfect. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular customer.
