They assisted in getting a high chair for my baby and helping me find seating while pushing a stroller which helped greatly. The presentation of food was also amazing. I just found both my hot drink and food I ordered lacking in flavor and just average. I ordered the hojicha latte and the Wanoka omurice. Both I could barely taste anything and I know hojicha should be a rich, earthy/toasty/nutty green tea flavor but I couldn't taste any of it, just mostly steamed milk. However my friend really enjoyed her matcha latte so maybe some drinks are better than others or dependent on who makes it. The omurice also was average, the texture/consistency was great but just lacking in flavor. I also ordered a tuna onigiri that also was lacking in flavor and nothing special. However, I did find their desserts to be really great. Found their tofu cream cheese cake and green tea chiffon cake really delicious. Their prices also were a bit overpriced. Perhaps it's best to go to this place for drinks and dessert and skip out on their food.

This is supposed to be a large build your own bowl with 3 additional toppings, so roughly $22.50.The bowl isn't even 1/2 full. Tastes great but that's about it. I would've gone back in but I didn't notice until we had already left, also, I'm not about to give grief to the kid working there. We loved going here but definitely won't go back or recommend this place. Shrinkflation is wild.

We were in the mood for poke and decided to try this place out…read more We ended up getting the OG large bowl which was a pretty big size though still on the pricier end. The salmon was quite fresh and decent portion but nothing amazing. Brown rice was cooked well. The edamame beans, corn, seaweed salad and avocado were all great parts of the bowl. In particular the avocado seemed fresh. The minor downside was that they forgot some of the garnishes we asked - totally missing the nori and seasame seeds. Overall, 4/5 - might try again if there's a deal.

Stopped by Poulet Rouge at Scarborough Town Centre on a whim, and I'm really glad I did. I think…read moreit's a new addition to STC, and they were running a special for around $10 for a bowl! I mean come on in this economy, $10 is all I got LOL The setup reminds me a lot of Chipotle, but honestly, I'd say it's better. The veggies were fresh, the meat was noticeably more tender. Plus, the price point is better, which makes it a win in my books. If you're at STC and craving something fast, fresh, and a little different from the usual Chipotle, definitely give Poulet Rouge a try. I'll be back for sure

If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews)

All day special includes main with choice of carb and 2 sides. Order: Jerk Chicken with Rice & Peas (Oxtail gravy over), Cucumber Salad and Pasta salad.

Jerk Chicken is cooked nice, fall of the bone, good flavour and hit of hot peppers. I'd come back!

Man, what a hidden gem!…read more Worth the drive, if you don't live close by, for the BEST birria tacos in the GTA. I've also tried Comal y Canela, and I love these ones even more. They even have a special on Wednesdays and Fridays: buy one set of tacos and get the second 50% off. Bring cash as you get an extra 5% off! Food: Birria Tacos - 5/5 - I never give anything this rating. I don't know if I was just really hungry, but these were the best tacos I've had in the GTA. Truly delicious and the birria sauce just hits the spot. Carne Tacos - 3.8/5 - Still also really good and authentic, but compared to the Birria, probably wouldn't get this again and just stick to the Birria. Rice and beans - 4/5 - Tasty and authentic; it is what it is! Service: 5/5 - The friendliest, cultural staff, with a smile on their face and happy to serve. Ambiance - 5/5 - Reminded me of Mexico City... brought me back in time, really hit a sense of Nostalgia from one of my favourite places in the world. Loved, loved, loved this place and can't wait to go back!

I am always skeptical about places I have never heard of. I said to myself, go and see the place and menu. The place is very clean and kind of trendy. The price is very reasonable and the food is hot, fresh and tasty. We dine in so we actually got real cutlery. Love that for dinner. The staff are really friendly. The only downfall is the table was not wiped down when I sat down. Beside that the place is very clean. I will definitely go back for the food and the prices.

I hadn't been back to this place since my last review, and maybe I was a bit too harsh previously…read moreor maybe they changed chefs but the food definitely seems to have improved since my last visit. There was a line up and more people this time around too. This time I tried the bone marrow pho and also had the roasted brisket pho. The roasted brisket was awesome and easily the highlight of the meal for me. They were also running a promo with free drinks (iced lychee or peach tea), which was a nice bonus. Neither drink is really my thing personally, but hey, free is free. The only thing I didn't like was the removal of the fresh noodle option, but the dry noodle was fine. Service was generally decent as well. Overall, a much better experience this time around, and I'd recommend giving it a try.

We got free chicken wings because our order was over $50 The not so good: They use a lot of msg in their food. Both of us were thirsty as sure sign of too much msg. And I can handle some msg but this was heavy handed. Our waiter kept forgetting the mango shake I wanted to like it but I don't think I'll be back due to the msg overload but if you're ok with that you should be fine The chicken wings had too much batter I thought but very crunchy The rolls were good and it was nice it came with a side salad
