That dough is absolutely phenomenal, the chicken is cooked perfectly and the caramelized onions with the hot honey melt in your mouth. This places gives badiali a run for their money.

A classic Punk / Rock n Roll Bar in Toronto CA. Basically the CBGB's of that scene…read more It's been around since the early 1990's and is exactly what a spot like this should be. Very nondescript outside facade - no sign telling you what it is other than a small "BSC" (for Bovine Sex Club) painted near the door. Hard to miss though as the exterior is made up a punk rock style sculpture of rusted bikes & other assorted ephemera. The interior is similar, visually. Great sound system & chill vibes pervade throughout. Weirdly the stage is right in the entrance of the club, on your left, with a long bar along the right side, heading back. Great, crowd, great location in cool area with lots of restaurants & plenty of parking - both on the street up to 2 hours & extended parking for a flat-rate of CA$20 (~$14 USD) from 6:00pm until the next morning, just 2 blacks away.

Are the beer cans running out? It's possible. But, it's a dive in the way of the old dives. And the acoustics for bands are... not great. But they are a sign of what once was. Without attempting to try to present a front of a time long gone, The Bovine simply exists today as it once did in that time long ago, before Smokes stickers, before iPhones, back when people would just go to a bar to talk with those they didn't know the morning prior. Bring cash though, unless you're looking to make some big orders, because credit card is a minimum fifty-dollar spend.

He was very hesitant to serve me, looks me up and down... He made me pay before even receiving my drink. I asked for a Jameson neat.... He serves it to me in a shot glass.

Especially when the bartender has hygiene issues. Also he tells everyone that comes in that he can make them whatever they like; which is not possible at all due to limited experience in bartending and limited supplies. In my past, I have experience in bartending/service industry. As I know what they go through with people I'm a really great tipper. But for something like this, just broke my heart.

We ordered the bulgogi dumplings, turnip cakes, miso mushroom udon carbonara, mushroom black garlic spaghetti, and the red curry chicken rigatoni. Everything was genuinely great, especially for the price. For a spot so close to the clubs, it's an awesome place to grab food during a night out. We had someone in our group who's gluten-free, and they were happy to sub rice noodles into one of the dishes. It was thoughtful of them to accommodate, but the rice noodles soaked up the sauce too much and clumped together, making it hard to eat.

Taste of Vietnam Restaurant & Bar

We were craving pho and came based on great reviews…read more We were so happy we tried this place! I was recommended the tom yum soup and it was very good. I will say that the server was so kind and when she heard we were watching our salt intake, she offered to make our broth less salty. They were still tasty but less salty. We were so pleased! The beef pho has a good portion of meat and there was lots of seafood in the tom yum soup. The large spring rolls had many rolls! Fresh and delicious! I'd come again for sure as not many places have a good tom yum soup

We walked in and were greeted by a friendly few staff members who showed us to our table. The decor inside was modern, it was clean and the ambiance was great. As soon as we sat down we were brought hot drinks of our choice to warm us up. It took a while before we settled on our meal choices after much discussion. We have some vegetarians and some non-vegetarians in our family so it was nice to see that vegetarians could be accommodated here. All of the meals turned out to be very tasty from our appetizers to our mains. Spring Rolls** were crispy, tasty and served with a sweet-spicy sauce. These were the outstanding showstoppers of the entire meal or at least a few of us agreed that they were our favourite choice. Vegetarian Cold Rolls (small) were crunchy, refreshing and served with a peanut sauce with roasted peanuts on top. I was told that my homemade version of vegetarian cold rolls was even better than the restaurant version since I include more tofu but this restaurant version came in a close second place. Stir-fried Vegetables with Tofu and Steamed Rice was very super flavourful, as was the veggie soup broth. The main vegetarian dish had a bit of kick to it, lots of black pepper, and a tangy spicy taste which was almost too spicy for one family member's simple palate. Nothing a bowl full of rice couldn't fix. What would make it a 5 star rating would be if they had included a bit more tofu, otherwise it was a very good dish. Grilled Pork Chop with Rice was wonderfully delicious. The veggies made the dish eye catching. The flavour packed broth was delightful. It was served with a drizzle of oil of green onions which when combined with freshly steamed rice make the perfect trifecta. Stir-Fry Rice Noodles with Seafood (which had squid, fish balls, shrimp and possibly scallops) was very well received by one hungry man. He didn't mind that the vegetarians had more veggies on their plates than him. Stir-Fry Rice Noodles* with Vegetables had a great colourful presentation and tasted very good, according to another. Once again their only other comment about the dish was that they wished there was more tofu in it. What would make it a 5 star rating would be if they had included a bit more tofu, otherwise it was also a good dish. The staff were more than accommodating to the requests of grandparents who needed to relocate tables to stay warm during this cold winter season. My family very much appreciated our visit to this restaurant. Fantastic hospitality. Great service and friendly personable staff.

The restaurant is on the smaller side and seats do start filling up around dinner time, but they take reservations. We went on a whim and since we arrived right before the dinner rush, we were able to grab a table. Do note that some of their menu varies from location to location. We started with the drinks. Both were non-alcoholic. The Thai Iced Tea was strong in the tea flavor (in a good way) and not too sweet. The it takes two to Mango drink was so unique. I would never imagine mixing mango with an espresso shot but they surprisingly went well together. I imagine a coffee liqueur version would taste great too! The spicy tuna tataki was perfectly seared. No fishy taste or smell and had a great texture. The green cause was so refreshing and flavorful with a little heat. (We end up using this as a dip with our lobster pineapple fried rice later too, lol) The pad see ew was sooo good! The noodles were chewy and bouncy, the beef was super tender and soft and didn't taste greasy. Now the lobster pineapple fried rice. This was some of the best fried rice I've ever eaten in my life. The rice was light, fluffy, and packed with flavor, the prawns were massive, the pineapple chunks were perfectly grilled and sweet, and you get a perfectly cooked whole lobster sitting on top of it all. The fact that this dish is just $38 is actually such a steal! Ending it all with the tiramisu was the perfect cherry on top. The tea-rimisu was literally the drink in cake form. Perfect flavor, light and fluffy, and you still taste all the different layers. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate and look forward to checking out their other locations!

The egg rolls was a bit of a let down, and it was too dry (appeared it was pre-fried, and when you order it they throw it back in the fryer to reheat). The Pho was flavorful but they overlooked our request for the beef on the side.

Cheese curry was supposed to have beef, but there was not much in there at all. It was served super hot, though. Fried horse mackerel dish was nice. The two dips were good as well. Wife had the KAKIAGE UDON and she said it was good. I tried the fried kakiage, and indeed it was very nice. Gyoza were pedestrian. The tartare was hiding underneath a pile of salad, which is odd. However, it did taste decently. It should not be called a carpaccio, though, because carpaccio is supposed to be thinly sliced, whereas this was a little too thick. It seemed more like a tataki instead. Oyster kaki mayo were very disappointing. First, it was way too salty, and the oyster pieces were a little small. It almost felt like they pre-cut a bunch of oysters and sprinkled it in instead of giving you the actual entire piece of oyster from the oyster shell that it came from. I can't confirm this because I didn't watch them make it. Service was friendly, and the decor was just the same as it was before. However, the food quality has dropped.
