OMG where to begin?!?! First, don't let the location in a small strip mall scare you awSt. The restaurant is fancy yet casual in feel.
Being my first night in Toronto, I wandered in to check it out since it was across from my hotel. While I perused the menu in front, the sweet bartender brought me a glass if water. Just a quick glance at the menu and I knew I wanted to have dinner here! I admit I was unclear about the tasting menu option. My waiter, Kyle, was great in explaining how it worked as well as making suggestions for a non-meat eater like me!
Long story short, with the tasting menu you order whatever you want for $30. Most of the portions were too large in my opinion, so I imagine there is a lot of waste. Since I was dining alone, I couldn't share a dish with others which would be ideal!
Below are the dishes I ordered:
Beet salad
Mango salad (delish)
Hot & Sour soup
Stuffed crab shell
Stuffed shiitake mushroom (delish)
Spicy tuna & spicy salmon sushi
Golden Roll (4 pieces - too big)
Butter fish takati
Spicy Basil pad Thai (delish)
Mac & cheese
As you can see above, this was an insane amount of food! Needless to say I didn't even make it to the rice dishes (pineapple fried rice & crab fried rice were on my wish list) or main entrees (red curry Thai shrimp, spicy eggplant). My suggestion, am don't order sushi or things you know what it tastes like or you can easily get elsewhere (hot & sour soup).
One caveat, in TINY print at the bottom it states to not order an excessive amount of food and if you leave leftovers, you will be charged. My waiter mentioned it when I finished and had asked how much food they throw out. So don't let your eyes get bigger than your stomach!!
Definitely check out Spoon & Fork Plus!!
