Shayan SanyalJune 6, 2015Where to start !? The Big Mac bun. The truffled fried rice. The amazing cocktails (the one with the Bowmore 12 demolished me). Nice boozy drinks with great snack foods to boot. Great bar staff.
Xx XxSeptember 29, 2017Staff is amazing and the food is consistently innovative and complex. One of the best meals in TO. The pea dumplings with truffle were out of this world.
Simran DassMarch 6, 2022It was good but very expensive, and had small portions. The wontons, pumpkin dumplings, sweet and sour pork & truffle rice were amazing. They also have some special menu items, so make sure to ask!
Fontaine LiuJanuary 22, 2015Pork hock is a bit sweet but delicious. Whole fried trout and 90-day aged rib eye steak are must orders if you have 4+. Not every dish was a hit, but all that we ordered was worth trying.
Jonathan FishbeinFebruary 27, 2019Tasting menu is the way to go. Not too expensive and you get to experience the variety of the menu. Food is tasty and moves between authentic and playfully creative.- Jamie SarnerSeptember 18, 2015Really interesting meals inspired by Asian and French cuisine, warm, intimate atmosphere and good prices. It's good to order a few plates to share.Try fried watermelon if you like fruits! Read more
Chetna PannuFebruary 13, 2017Bulgogi glazed lamb neck was an absolute delight. The side of asian pear salad was a nice touch to the already perfect lamb.
- Xx XxJanuary 10, 2016The fried watermelon was brilliantly done-- original, surprising, delicious. Service was attentive and warm, and the wine pairings expertly done. Will be going back soon!
T ZJune 8, 2019Best value tasting menu I’ve ever experienced. Save yourself the trouble and let the kitchen decide - every dish is amazing and plentiful. Great service too.- Ian LeungNovember 29, 2014Whole fried trout is amazing. Eat all the bones. Great value at $30, for a trendy hipster joint like this.
Heather AggusOctober 10, 2019This place is fantastic. The food is incredible. Shannon, the bartender makes fantastic cocktails and gives great service. Dumplings are to die for.
hugo liuMarch 5, 2016the tasting menu is a must. brimming with originality, like pork sung fried watermelon and white rabbit candied truffle dumplings.- ErinSeptember 10, 2016Really good food - had the pea dumplings, tempura broccoli (!), fried trout (!) and truffle fried rice. Reco broccoli and trout!
- Heather AggusJanuary 22, 2019Shannon the bartender was fantastic and really knowledgable about scotches. I highly recommend you just do the met the chef feed you.
Jess LenouvelMarch 30, 2015Everything is amazing, but you must have the pumpkin dumplings. The chef's choice is a good one if you are hungry!- Ian LeungApril 16, 2015Truffle fried rice is very good. Truffle flavour is well integrated and not overpowering
Ryan McMartinDecember 2, 2014Whole fried trout was awesome - we wouldn't let them take away our appetizer bowls and used the remains as a dipping sauce!
Kristina GringogidgetJune 19, 2015The crab is ridiculously good. Also sty for the cocktails upstairs and try to smoke on the roof.
- Ian LeungNovember 29, 2014Silken tofu is great. Tofu so soft it's not even a solid. Smoked miso pairs well with sweetened mushroom and seaweed
NuffAugust 12, 2015Great spot. Excellent service, trendy but not overbearingly so. Fried watermelon was surprisingly delicious.
Robin JohannsenNovember 29, 2014Great atmosphere and you can order up some food from the restaurant downstairs. The Big Mac Bao was awesome.
JasonNovember 2, 2015I wasn't too impressed. Perhaps I didn't get the most popular items. Red envelopes are supposed to contain money as gifts, not the bill, found it tacky. Even the Mandarin uses red envelopes as gifts.
- Martïn SvenssonMarch 13, 2016Make sure you try the bao big Mac, fried watermelon and pumpkin dumplings, delicious!
- Ian LeungJune 11, 2016Pork hock was very good. Curry cauliflower was good, but not essential. New bar program is terrible....cocktails just don't work.
Ashleigh GardnerMay 23, 2015We went with a tasting menu and the combination was way too heavy with almost everything deep fried
That fired trout and the tasting menu is something that wakes me up in the morning
Dr Profressor Food Destroyer Von Die Quantum RealmJune 19, 2015the food here sets the bar for the asian plate in Toronto. mind blown.

"The Sichuan maple old fashioned was amazing. Sounds crazy with roast duck infusion and sichuan spices, but it's almost imperceptible. Just awesome"
