I don't recall NaiNai being here the last time I visited so I gave it a shot. I went with in my mind the safe option of Stir Fried Rice Noodles (Kwetiau Goreng) which is a flat noodle. The dish reminded me of pad seew which I love. I ordered it with the chicken and overall the dish was flavourful with a slightly sweet taste from the sweet soy sauce. Again it reminded me a lot of pad seew and I would put it above a food court joint like Thai Express but not quite as good as some of the pad seew at some of the Thai restaurants in the city. Service was friendly and they give you one of those buzzers to alert you when your food is ready. It was pretty busy when I went so my food took more than 10 minutes to be ready but not too bad considering how many people were ahead of me. Overall not a bad choice if you're looking to grab something in the food court. Looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other offerings.

Why yes, please Indo me…read more.. If you're craving to try IndoMie or authentic Indonesian food, this is was a neat spot to try it in downtown Toronto. I ordered their IndoMie Rendang which is a seasoned instant noodle cup topped with beef rendang that was so flavorful and tender. To go with this, I enjoyed Thai Milk Tea as a refreshment. The only thing I would knock is the IndoMie cup portions are small when the food tastes so good! Even though it was a jumbo cup, it was only slightly bigger than the drink cup. The shop feels more like a convenience store so there's not much ambience. The service was quick and friendly for takeout. Skip it or hit it? It's a good place to try for Indonesian food but I haven't been back.

This is a new Indian restaurant. Indo-Hakka (or Indian-Chinese) cuisine is popular in eastern and…read moresouthern India. This restaurant have dishes that are famous in the south and in the north. They opened for takeout about a month ago, and soft-opened for indoor dining on 2026-03-24. They haven't printed paper menus yet so you can see it on their online ordering website via a QR code. Some of the dishes allow your choice of protein, which some choices at an additional cost. Many of their dishes allow a choice of spice level; some dishes are naturally very spicy at a minimum since authentic Indo-Hakka cuisine is very spicy and bold, using Indian spices, green chilies, and fiery sauces. I ordered the following: 1. House Special Steamed Momos with Chicken ($11.99+$1.00). Chose mild. Comes with a sweet chili sauce and a hot chili sauce. 2. Crispy Cauliflower Bliss ($13.99). Chose mild. 3. Desi Hakka & Co. Chow Mein with Veg ($15.99+$0.00). This is a house special. Their mild level still has a little bit of spiciness. This is the spiciest level I could handle from this restaurant. The momos were not spicy, but you can dip them into the sweet chili or hot sauces provided. The chicken inside the momos where plentiful and juicy. While shooting a video of wanting to slightly dip a momo (using provided tongs) into the hot sauce, I actually dropped it into the hot sauce, so 30% was covered with sauce! Then I tried a second momo and repeated the drop again! I suffered eating those two momos! I wish dropped them into the sweet chili sauce instead because that was less spicy. The Crispy Cauliflower was a little spicy. The batter around the cauliflower wasn't that crispy. Not sure if I took too long to eat it. The cauliflower itself was good. If came which a lot of sautéed vegetables. The Chow Mein was also spicy. Overall this dish was good. This dish was large, so be hungry or share it. The customer service was acceptable. Currently the waiter is one of the two owners. They really need 2 or 3 wait staff. Have one person is nit enough, especially when the same staff have to also deal with the online delivery people. Hopefully they will hire more people by grand opening. There is seating for 25-30 people. The seating area is darkened but the front of the area lets in sunlight so it is brighter during the daytime. There is mostly instrumental lively music playing in the background. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There are two gender-neutral washrooms in the basement, hence they are not wheelchair accessible (you have to walk up many steps to go in). There is paid neighbourhood street parking. There is one high chair for little children. Review 2026-057

Tried this spot since it's close to home, and overall the food didn't disappoint. Service was…read moremostly good except they started cleaning before we even left which wasn't the best experience. Interior wasn't too fancy and I didn't have a problem with that. We started with the hot & sour soup which had huge portion, enough for 4-5 people. The flavor was decent, though it didn't have a lot of chicken pieces. Then we tried the spicy pork chop, which were hesitant to order but so glad we did because it was so good! Perfectly crispy with just the right amount of spice. The egg and shrimp fried rice was alright but could've used a bit more seasoning. The only real letdown was the chili fish. The pieces were overly crispy with too much batter and hardly any fish inside. I wouldn't recommend trying it. Ended the night with fortune cookies!

It's kind of hidden, especially since much of the mall doesn't have many businesses open and most visitors probably stay downstairs for the cheap dumpling restaurant. Don't let that deter you - Canteen is definitely worth heading upstairs for. We ordered the Hainanese chicken rice lunch special, baked spaghetti lunch special, and lamb chops. Everything was tasty, satisfying, and came out surprisingly quickly. The lunch specials were especially good value at around ~$13 USD each, including soup and a drink (we chose canned Pepsis). The owner/waitress was genuinely kind and welcoming. If you're nearby and looking for a quick, reasonably priced Hong Kong café-style meal, Canteen is well worth checking out.

I might even go so far as to say they were the best potstickers I've ever had, they were that good. We also got the Shanghai Style Pork Mooncakes and the Shanghai Eight-Treasure Spicy Noodles, and they were both terrific also. The noodles had a really interesting flavor which I enjoyed a lot, and while (despite their name) they weren't spicy at all, a little of the tableside chili paste helped with that.

Each bite basically melts in your mouth, which made it really enjoyable even without any sauce. The restaurant itself is quite large with plenty of seating for dine-in. There's parking available outside, which is convenient, although there are a few stairs at the entrance to keep in mind. It was also pretty busy even on a weekday, so it seems like a popular spot. Service and ambience felt decent overall, but it's a bit early for me to fully judge since I only ordered takeout this time. One nice bonus is that they offer a 10% discount if you pay by cash. Overall, a solid first impression and I'd definitely come back to try more dishes next time.

I especially like their soy sauce fried noodles, pan-fried chive dumplings, and Pan Fried Coconut Milk Golden Cake 香煎椰汁黄金糕. The congee itself is also quite good--some people might find it a bit on the lighter side in flavor, but I'm totally fine with that. The prices are very affordable, making it great value for money. The downside is parking--it's a bit inconvenient, and most options nearby are paid parking. The interior is quite simple and no-frills, but the staff are friendly and welcoming. Among congee places in Toronto, I think this one really stands out for its authenticity. The only drawback is the parking situation, so ordering takeout might actually be a better option

It was difficult to order with her because of that. I ordered steamed dumplings and she even repeated my order back to me, but what came out was pan-fried dumplings. Due to the language barrier, there was no way to communicate that she made a mistake. I let it go, but that's crappy service. The congee barely had any ingredients inside. After a few scoops, you're really just left with plain congee with some green onions. I'm not sure why the ingredients were outside of the rice rolls, but I wasn't a fan. It's an ok spot for cheap Chinese food if you have low expectations, but I'd rather pay a bit more to have something better.
