| - Seems like there are a lot of Chinese fusion restaurants recently ever since the chef that opened R&D won MasterChef Canada, but so far my experience with Chinese fusion restaurant had been disappointing. Peoples Eatery was not an exception either.
I came here on a weekday with three other friends, my friend was able to book a table of 4 and they were kind enough to sit us at a room. The overall decor is nice and very hipster, same with the room we were in, but this place has like no AC and ZERO ventilation. Sweating like a pig during dining is not the best experience.
Let's talk about their food, we ordered the General Tso Fu, Deli Whitefish Salad, Asparagus, Masu Donburi and the BBQ Beef Short Ribs. Portion is super small and they expect you to order a lot of items to share with a group, I'm okay with this tapas style approach as long as the price is reasonable. When your $22 dish is also relatively small, we have a problem.
Food tasted mediocre and I can't see where the fusion is in each dish, maybe because they used one Asian ingredient per dish? I think out of the dishes we ordered, we were impressed with the Deli Whitefish Salad. Great use of wasabi tobiko on bagel toasts.
Overall 2 stars, super humid restaurant with overpriced food and mediocre tastes.
