it is what is is.. Shiso Tree is a simple pasta place. Shiso tree is also the only restaurant in toronto that serves WAFU (Japanese Style) pasta.
If you haven't had Wafu pasta, give it a try!!! You'll either love it or hate it. Most pasta dishes are $12, including: Salad, Pasta, toast. Price is pretty decent if you ask me and no way did they give up on quality. Everything is great! Quick service, hot pasta friendly waiters. What more can you ask for $12? (i know... i wish they have espresso but they don't , so I guess i can ask for that...especially in a place that serves pasta)
And of course some of you may prefer $3.99 Shanghai Noodle lunch special from China town.
PS. They currently have a $45 fixe Prix special, including: Lobster Bisque, Alaska King Crap Risotto and dessert. I personally think it's a steal when some other higher end restaurants charges $30 for risotto alone without the King Crap.
