A quick look around the various eateries within Union Station led me directly to Dear Saigon. I can't say no to a Banh Mi, so that's exactly what I got ("Grilled Pork"). I watched the woman behind the counter making the sandwich and was quite impressed by how much meat she was shoving into the concoction. It's a solid sandwich. While I wouldn't rank it anywhere close to the best banh mis I've ever had, it's a good version of the venerable dish. All the ingredients are quite tasty, including the flavorful, tender pork, but I could've used a little something to take it over the top. (Maybe a little spice would've been nice?) Dear Saigon is a decent option within a better-than-average food court. I wish their food were a little cheaper but otherwise I enjoyed my dinner.

In terms of price ($18), the pho is definitely pricey considering the takeout container. If you have been their restaurant, you know they're not cheap. I got the build your own box and you get: one base, one protein, 3 toppings and one sauce. I think for $13.99, it's decent considering it's the same takeout container as the pre-set bowls. I got the vermicelli, lemongrass beef, mango, purple cabbage, pineapple and vietnamese mayo. I think this combo works better for spring rolls than a bowl lol Since it's fairly new, the store was clean and service was quick. Since it's Union Station, don't expect it to be quiet especially during lunch hours.

The burrito joint seems to be doing fine in its place. Yesterday, I was in Mississauga. I had an early dinner at Edo Japan at Heartland Centre. On the left of Edo was Starbucks. On the right was this Copper Branch eatery. It was cool seeing a trifecta row of businesses that I dig. I walked into this Copper Branch location to check it out. It was quiet. I took a few photos and then looked at the menu. A friendly woman briefly came out of the kitchen and let me know that she'd be with me in five minutes. I was good and told her to take her time. I needed to look at the menu. She took less than five minutes to be with me at the counter. She was nice, asking how I was doing. I answered and reciprocated. I asked her what the soup of the day was. It was miso soup. I had just had ramen and wanted something different, so I passed. Me? Passing on soup? Crazy! I got these items instead: - S'mores cookie - Strawberry pina colada I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I have Copper Branch rewards. You pay first and then have the barcode scanned. Done! I got my s'mores cookie first. Sweets from the Earth makes it. I love this brand. She said that I could take a seat and she'd let me know when my smoothie would be ready. Cool! It didn't take long for her to make my smoothie. She let me know that it was ready. I thanked her and wished her a great day. She reciprocated. I got a paper straw and happily left the store. I got into my car and made my way home. I had the cookie and smoothie as I drove. The s'mores cookie was moist and delicious. There were plenty of chocolate chips. I loved the dabs of marshmallows in every bite. So good! I enjoyed my strawberry pina colada. It had strawberry, pineapple, banana, pineapple juice, and coconut milk. It could have been colder temperature-wise. It was yummy and I finished it while still in Mississauga heading eastbound. I like Copper Branch because everything is vegan. It's cool. It was nice to visit this eatery. I'll be back when I'm in the area again. (14)

Going to an all Vegan restaurant has so many advantages and one the biggest? - we don't have to ask if it contains eggs, dairy and any meat or animal products. We ordered a PSL - not a big fan of PSL, but decided to give it a try. Nothing wrong with the drink per se, but the pumpkin spice and coffee for me, don't go well together. The Nachos were a different thing all together. A little more Cheeze would have gone a long way. The chips crispy and topped nicely as well. The entire quantity was good and tasted good. The service was good and inside was clean and spotless. Will surely come back and give it a try if we are in the neighbourhood.

This is a new cafe. The focus on Bolo Baw which means Pineapple Bun in Cantonese. Currently they…read moreonly sell 4 versions but will add more in the future. They sell other street food snacks too. They soft-opened on 2026-08-07, and are located inside Jo's Cha (bubble tea shop). Bolo Baw! Is actually owned by the same owner as Jo's Cha. I ordered the following: 1. Double Smash Beef Pineapple Bun PinePine Smash Baw! ($10.99). 2. Matcha Taro French Toast ($5.99). 3. Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea ($5.80). They were not very busy. I placed my order at 13:21. I received the drink relatively quickly. I receive the baw at 13:35. I received the French Toast later. During their soft-opening period, there are certain promotions. You can convert any baw into a combo (add fries and simple drink) for +$4.50. Or you can combo it with a regular Jo's Cha drink at 50% off. Then the entire order is 20% off! My entire bill came out to $21.38 + tax, after the discount. The food tasted delicious. Pineapple buns are a favourite in Hong Kong. The Double Smash Beef was so tasty. The pineapple ring inside added to the taste. The French Toast had a good amount of Taro paste inside, making it extra special! It was crispy outside and moist inside. It was warm and humid inside. The AC was working but not strong enough. There is some indoor seating, shared with Jo's Cha. You can join Jo's Cha loyalty program to collect points and get 50% off a drink on your next visit. There is free WiFi. The cafe is not wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom downstairs, so it isn't wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking.

Tip: Sign up for Edo Cash. You can earn cash towards discounted meals…read more After work on Wednesday, I had picked up an order at TSC, Canada's shopping channel. I was ready for an early dinner. I found out that Heartland Centre has an Edo Japan. I love this franchise. It's Canadian and I like the food offerings. It took me nine minutes to drive over to this eatery. It's across from Best Buy and JYSK. Skechers is nearby. What I like about this location is that it's sandwiched between Starbucks on the left and Copper Branch on the right. I love all three businesses. I was pleased. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I backed into an available one and walked over. This eatery is large and clean. A male staffer was taking a break and chowing down. There was one customer waiting for his order. His order was ready. As he went to fetch it from the counter, it allowed me to look at the chicken ramen deal. The ramen has tonkotsu broth and it comes with a fountain drink. Sold! I got a nice, friendly woman who took my order. I went with the chicken ramen soup combo. I had my Edo rewards barcode scanned. I earn points that convert to dollars that you can use towards the cost of a future meal. Sweet! I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I got a cup for my drink. She gave me my order number and said that it would be called out. I used the fountain drink machine. I filled my cup with ice and then Diet Coke. I put a lid on it and fetched a straw. My drink tasted crisp and great. I refilled my cup before I left. I sat closest to the window. The male staffer was where I would have liked to have sat down, because it was a two-seater table and I'd be closer to the machine. I got another two-seater table closer to the window. The nice female staffer came over with my ramen. It was a nice service touch. I appreciated the gesture. She said that she was happy to do it. So great! It's one reason why this place gets a perfect review. The service was stellar. The chicken ramen was excellent. Sure, it's fast food. It was good. The chicken was tender. I loved the veggies. It had corn, which was awesome! The ramen was thicker than I had imagined it to be. It was yummy. I liked the broth. It probably had more pepper than I would have liked. However, it was delicious. It wasn't salty. The pork flavour was mild, but good. I drank it all up. I put away my tray and disposed of everything. It was easy throwing away each item, as the garbage area listed which items go where. I used the washroom before I left. There were two single stalls. One had a large button to open the door for accessibility. I used the one without it. The stall was clean. I also liked the hand drier that allowed me to put my drink on top of it. I enjoyed dining here. The food and drink were awesome. Staff were friendly and excellent. I'd return again when I'm in the area. (17)

I was at Cay Cay placing an early dinner order after work on a Wednesday. This place had two out of three drinks sold out at 3 pm. The one remaining did not interest me. While waiting for my food order there, I looked at Moteru Sushi in the stall next door at Sino Mall's food court. It had a sign that said it had soy beverage. It came in both drink and larger bottle sizes. I approached the counter and got a nice man. He said that they were out of soy beverage. Okay, what is wrong with drinks at food stalls in this food court? It's only 3 pm and they are out of drinks. Yikes! Luckily, this stall had other cold drinks. I got a Diet Coke in a can. I paid with a credit card. I tapped. Done! The man said that I could help myself to my Diet Coke. It was a nice, cold can. It was $1.75. On DoorDash, it's $1.95. You save a bit if you order directly at the food stall. It was nice to enjoy my drink with my food. It was cold and refreshing. I looked more closely at the menu as I ate and did some people-watching, too. I saw a man pick up his order of ramen. I need to get ramen from here next time. The menu had Korean bop varieties, such as chicken. I would also love to enjoy it. Most folks ordering food from this eatery got sushi. I do need to come back and get food here. It looked so good! I had an excellent experience. I hope it continues when I return for a meal. (372)

I went to Golden Turtle several years ago and remember enjoying the food so I decided to go here with my boyfriend a few weeks ago. The dining area was very spacious and there weren't a lot of people when we went that Thursday afternoon. The server greeted us and took our orders very quickly, which we loved because we always pretty much order the same things at Vietnamese restaurants. Similarly, they made our orders really fast, which we were pleased with. I got my usual chicken and pork on rice. My boyfriend got chicken and sugarcane shrimp on vermicelli. My dish was good. The chicken and pork was well-cooked and tasted great. My boyfriend let me have some of his sugarcane shrimp and it was quite nice too. Overall, it was pretty standard. Location-wise, it's near TNT and several drink places, so you can have dinner then walk around the supermarket and maybe get something to drink. I would come back here just for how fast the service is.
