My Order:
- Pork crumbles (eh)
- Traditional beef noodles (ok)
- Home-made dumplings (yum)
- Sweet & spicy shredded potato (yum)
- Fried popcorn chicken (must get!)
- Fresh mango coconut smoothie (loved it)
- Fresh blueberry blended with ice cream (DEF GET THIS)
- Egg pudding (delicious)
Pros
+ very cute little cafe with modern chinese food
+ the appetizers were very flavorful (as a result, the mains -pork crumbles & beef noodles- seemed rather bland)
+ the fresh blueberry blended with ice cream was absolutely phenomenal; it was so rich in flavor
+ the restaurant owners are very in tune with the demographic that they're serving- they offer discounts if you endorse them on social media
Cons
- one washroom per gender
- hard to find parking (it's in the kensington/chinatown area)
Honestly, if not for Toronto Commons, I would not have found this gem. Toronto Commons is similar to Groupon, however, they work with restaurants to create ''sampling menus'' which allow you to try many of the restaurants' specialties for a fraction of the price. For the price of $18 (inc. tax & tip), I was able to sample a little bit of everything. What do I have to conclude? Def. give Stay Cafeteria & Toronto Commons a try!
