  • Sold as a food court -- but it's not a really a food court. Think of it as like a self-serve counter where they have separately branded portions of a large menu. You order everything from one till and the person making your noodle soup, may be making a poke bowl on the next order. So if you're hoping for a 'food court' like you would find in Asia where each stall is operated by a separate specialist in their trade, you'll be disappointed. It's more akin if you walked into Tim Horton's and you ordered a coffee off 'TH Coffee' menu, a chili bowl off 'Mama's Chili' menu and a donut off the 'Sweet Treats' menu. So, points off for the misrepresentation. It's mostly trendy food -- Taiwanese fried chicken, poke bowls/sushi buritto, 'Japanese crepe' (whatever that means) and bubble tea -- so it's not like you can't find it elsewhere in Yonge & Finch area. In addition, if you're looking for a Asian food court experience, you can do better if you went to that food court at the bottom of the condos @ Yonge & Sheppard (which has Allwyn's, HCafe and a bunch of random Asian stalls). However, they do have a menu for Cantonese staples like wonton noodle soup and rice rolls - which is sorely lacking in the area. I typically drive out to Markham or Scarborough for my fix and was hoping to find somewhere closer. Pass on the rice rolls - although it's fresh made and street style (it's not like the dim sum version), it's not close to a specialist joint like Yin Ji Chang Fen. I had beef on my rice rolls ($5) and the beefs chunks were too large and grainy. The beef brisket and wonton noodle soup ($10) was OK. Nothing too much to complain about and you get 2 large wontons and a lot of beef brisket for the money. The noodles were probably too thin or overcooked. Obviously, it's not close to what Jim Chai Kee or Wonton Chai can offer -- but it's a lot closer to the city and transit. The lady had a poke bowl and it was a good portion -- nothing much to say, other than they were heavy on the mayo. Overall, it's not bad - it's solid value and convenient. For the wonton noodle soup alone, it's a solid addition to the area. However, it is a bit tilting for misrepresenting itself as a 'food court'.
