Karaoke for the first time in 27 years!…read more Have been busy, have been living in the suburbs .... and not catching up with new japanese pop songs for all these years - made us away from Karaoke. I missed it! I should have come earlier. The song selection is wide, from old to current. I found the songs that I know (lol) easily. 90mins went so fast. We had to leave due to parking situation ( street parking on Yonge was max 90 mins) but we could co longer. We should come back. Only thing was it was unclear as to how to set vocal range to fit my own. Anyways it was a great stress buster!

Confirmed by our guest ;) As always, the team here are very attentive and polite, especially our waitress Selena. Seeing that its a Wednesday - OYSTER NIGHT BUCK A SHUCK!? had some malpeques with an assorted tray of their housemade sauces/vinaigrettes to dress! Ebi Mayo - this is one of the many staples and MUST TRYs at Nome! Jumbo tiger shrimp, lightly battered and tossed in a creamy sweet chili sauce - served with a shrimp cracker! Be sure you give that lemon a squirt before enjoying! Sashimi Salad - chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and you cant go wrong with some tasty assorted sashimi on top! I don't know what the dressing is but bury me in it please! Mmm! Samurai Crunch Salad - don't be fooled because it says salad. This bowl is topped with so many different crunchy stuff - crispy wonton, kettle cooked potatoes chips, fried shredded tiny bits of something so good I don't care what it is give me more, and a very nice creamy dressing (optional on the side). Its been awhile since we came by but they got a feature menu with some delicious items like Shoyu Butter Steak and Yuxu Hamachi! Thank you Nome, always a great time!

I came here for a group dinner on a Friday night. The place was really busy. We were a group of ~15…read moreppl, they wouldn't split our bill into two. We made to two separate orders and the other side had a few things missed so the food times came out very inconsistent. The food was all very mid. The only dish that was good was the fried tiger shrimp with ebi-mayo. The shrimp were jumbo and juicy. We ordered a second round of this. The oden soup was also nice and cozy, esp for a cold day. You can't really go wrong with oden soup and udon. Everything else was very average. I wouldn't mind coming back here if someone suggested it but I will definitely not suggest it or come here if I had to pick.

Zui Bar is right around the corner from us, but we realized we'd never been! Time to explore…read more We entered and were greeted and seated promptly by a cheery staff member. The music was not loud, which made it easy for us to hold a conversation. The neon decor was stylish and gave off cyberpunk vibes. Service wasn't the most attentive, but it was efficient and alright for the price point. They have a scannable QR code at the table, so that's how you order. They offer a happy hour combo from 4-7pm, where you get 1 cold dish, 3 skewers, 1 main, and 1 cocktail for $25! I'd say it's a pretty good deal. The main fried rice had a lot of wok hei and the portion was quite good. We added a beer to this and the two of us were fairly full. Great option for a light meal with some drinks!

On Friday August 14, 2020, my girls & I went to Leng Keng to have a girls night!…read more Prior to our reservation: I stubbled upon this place while being on Instagram 'Toronto' stories and I saw a video story of this place, it was breath taking! Watching it, it reminded me of Shanghai and their clubs with all the lights, and electric music. Immediately I was excited! So I called them and made a reservation on Monday for Friday for 5 people. I got in contact with Alex, the manager, he set us up for Friday and answered any question I had. As this place is very new, there weren't many images or a website set up when I found them, and I was still unsure if they were open due to COVID. But they are open! I informed my girls of this place, they were thrilled and our group quickly turned from 5 to 7. Luckily, I called Leng Keng back asking if I could increase the size of my party & they were able to accommodate me! During our reservation: Coming to the place, the exterior isn't the most attractive setting. But as we looked past it, inside was just like the video that I had seen. It took me back to the time I was out with my expat friends in Shanghai club hopping. Covid protocols: Since we're still in a pandemic, Leng Keng had great protocols emplaced. As we showed our IDs to security, we signed in with our name and phone numbers. Once inside, there were masks & hand sanitizer available at the door. The tables were well distanced and people would stay within their allocated booths. The atmosphere of Leng Keng is extremely beautiful, nothing like I've ever seen in other Toronto bars/lounges/clubs. The lights are constantly moving & changing colours very beautifully as electric music plays in the background. We were greeted by very nice servers that showed us to our table. Once seated, we were able to take in the place more, & my friends were truly impressed by the place. For food we ordered Calamari and French Fries to share. For drinks we ordered Cosmos, Rum & Coke, Margaritas & a couple shots of Vodka. Everything tasted well, besides the Calamari that was slightly too fishy, the Margaritas didn't come with limes or salt on the rim of the cup. Other than that, this place was magnificent & we do believe Leng Keng has great potential in being the next trending spot in Toronto. We will be back soon! Thank you!

Teri Leese What can…read moreI say about my recent experience at The Factory Lounge? [TLDR] - Candidly, I would not spend your hard earned money here unless you want to partake in a venue run by egregious management and staff who are seemingly hardwired to distrust their customers and patrons. For the sake of garnering some perspective, I logged into Google Reviews to see what everyone else have got to say about the establishment. I was very surprised to read the comments and many of which were very consistent to my previous experience at The Factory Lounge - uncommunicative staff, subpar customer service, and patrons faced with hostility at the liquor bar. Prior to arriving at the venue, I visited the company website. In the 'What are we all about' section it states "At The Factory Lounge it's all about the party and we know how to throw the best party in town! We pride ourselves in paying attention to every last detail and we will create a memorable and distinctive event you will never forget." Bona fide clients who choose to use this venue based on the mission statement will surely be let down because: A)The Factory Lounge really doesn't know how to throw a party - the bar staff was underperforming their duties and crutching on excuses to deter paying customers B)There was no attention to detail because the head manager/owner was too busy arguing with people C)They claim to be the best party in town yet there is no substance. Customer satisfaction is far and few between. Albeit, I do agree with one part of their mission statement about creating an unforgettable event. Only I would put it a bit differently, the most unforgettable thing about the event was the constant tarnishing and arguing done by the lousy team working that night. When I asked to speak directly with the operating manager to rectify some issues surrounding the liquor agreement, I was dumbfounded because I was looking right at her: Teri Leese (Owner, Operator, Coordinator). She has been running this business for over 7 years. I am astonished by her uncooperative demeanor for someone with such tenure. Teri had reigned over the bar staff to disadvantage their customers, she was mostly unapproachable, she was disrespectful towards our party members - just to give you some perspective. Having read this review, I urge you to reconsider choosing The Factory Lounge as your primary venue for any event. You could be faced with regret, disgruntled guests, and an unforgettably bad experience.

You can also bring your own food but there is a charge per person. The great - The customer service is top notch. I bombarded them with questions over email, they didn't leave a single one unanswered, they were quick to respond and very accommodating. The patience in answering multiple emails, questions and follow up questions is how I knew my experience here would be good. The good - The alcoholic drink options were okay, the variety wasn't large but the cocktails and mocktails were good. Food was good too. The karaoke was a bit confusing to navigate at first but we got the hang of it. There's something for everyone here and coming in a large group definitely made it worth it.

Hubby & I were out shopping on Christmas Eve for some last minute gifts and groceries. We were…read moreclose to downtown Markham and the idea of Draco came up. Initially we were going for the idea of breakfast, but timing was a bit off from what we anticipated and it was a really nice lunch date instead. I love the Markham Marriott, the staff is always warm and welcoming. Draco has a very sleek, sophisticated and cozy atmosphere. We both ordered Bacon & Cheddar burgers. I opted for a Caesar salad as an appetizer and hubby ordered their Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak. Let's start with the apps. The Caesar salad was SO good! I wish I had taken a pic, but admittedly, my phone was tucked away and I was caught up in the cozy seating, great food and Christmas vibes of the restaurant and lobby. Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak: $33 - Buttercup Squash Puree and Truffle Oil - Everything you want Wagyu to be - tender, cooked to the perfect temp which left a nice warm red centre. This was melt in your mouth good! The burgers - these were perfection! Draco Bacon Cheddar Burger: $25 - Aged Cheddar with Crispy Bacon Strips; Crispy Onion Straws, Arugula and Garlic Aioli. This was a very well seasoned patty, so juicy and a substantial sized patty of fresh not frozen beef. The bun was lightly toasted, bacon crispy, easily taking this into my top 3 fav spots for burgers! Options for sides include fries, sweet potato fries, poutine, side Caesar or garden salad or truffle fries. We finished off our meal with 2 really good cappuccinos and just took our time before heading home. This was our first time back here in a few years. The food was exceptional as was the service and the warm staff. Draco is the perfect spot for an early morning breakfast, work or lunch date or a nice cozy dinner. They also have Christmas & New Years dinners and brunches. Relax in the restaurant with drinks or in the adjacent lounge, this is a great spot to unwind with some great food and drinks.

Also, its nice for a night club to have actual parking!
