The ABSOLUTE BEST place for South East Asian eats! Been coming here for years after a Malaysian friend recommended it to me. The laksa is so flavourful and authentic, not to mention the super affordable prices and big portions. I try to come at least once a month because its just THAT good. read more

This is a true hidden gem in Scarborough. I always get super excited when I do take-out here. This place has strange operating hours and sometimes they're not even open during those days. I always call first now to make sure they're actually open. Also, they only serve the desserts on wkends and they sell out quick! I love their Char Kway Teow and Curry Laksa - it's a must get! Their Pad Thai and Chicken Curry & Coconut Rice are alright, can't compare to the other two. Last time they told me they don't make the roti anymore. The owner (I think he's the son) is super nice and patient in this tiny busy place. There are a few tables for eat-in, but I recommend take-out unless you're okay with people waiting for their orders and standing around you. Their pricing is very reasonable. Once I ordered 4 entrees and 4 dessert pieces, and it was only ~$35. read more

Best Malaysian food ever! The customer service here is always exemplary. Despite being so popular and busy, the young man serving is always so pleasant and polite. read more

I learned so it this gem on Yelp and had to try it out due to the amount of positive reviews. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place had quite a line up. It took about 15 minutes to even place my order. I ordered the Chaw Kway Teow for take out. While waiting, many people had joined the line behind me. Some people called ahead to order for pick up. There is only one person taking orders and packing the takeout. There were two chefs in the back cooking everything. The staff were all working their hardest but the demand was just super high! It took almost another 25 minutes to get my food, which is quite long. After opening the container, I knew that the wait was worth it! The smell was amazing and the taste was even better. I had my dish made mild because I can't eat anything too spicy. It really had "wok hei" which is a Chinese term when it is cooked with a really hot wok, which transfer a certain type of flavour to the food. There are many other dishes that I can't wait to try such as the Curry Laksa and the Mee Goreng next time. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody and would come back for sure. Just make sure you aren't in a hurry or call ahead of time! read more

One2 Snacks - Char Kway Teow - Malaysian Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This place is efffing awesome!! The food here is so damn good. It's got the right amount of "wok hei" to give it that firey, wok char grill flavour combined with spiciness for the perfect balance of deliciousness. STRAIGHT UP FLAVOUR TOWN BABY! Ya it's in a dingy plaza. It's also reasonable priced. You must call in and order in advance or the wait time is easily 2+ hours or just go on off-peak hours. It's a small family business and they were very nice. Would highly recommend this place. All the food here is good. Nothing here sucks. Eat everything!!! read more

Forgot to take pictures because I was hangry and starving!! But I got the wat dan hor and the char kway teow. Both were bomb! The noodles were so soft, chewy and fresh. They were bouncy and the texture just wasnt the same as any other noodle that comes out of a dry package. The sauce for the wat dan hor was tasty and plentiful. The char kway teow was perfectly pan fried and had that wok taste! Would definitely come back. read more

Ive been coming here for many years now, albeit not very often. Its a tiny takeout joint with probably enough seats for 8 customers max to dine in. The menu is small and the English phonetic spelling of food in malay. My favourite dish is probably the char kay teow, the stir fried brown noodles with shrimp, egg, green onion and bean sprouts. I usually get half flat rice noodles, and half round egg noodles to make things a bit more unique. The portion is good, and it just has this hearty flavour that makes you want to keep eating haha. I also love the kuih dadar, which is essentially pandan crepes filled with caramelized coconut and rolled into a burrito shape. The crepe is light and fluffy and the coconut has a slightly burnt, sharp taste (in a good way of course). My advice is to order ahead; call or email a day before because it gets really packed on the days it does open. It will always be a Scarborough food favourite. read more

One2 Snacks - Char kay teow - Malaysian Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Upon walking up to the doors, you would never guess this place, other than the loyal line ups , had great authentic Malaysian food. Looks are deceiving from outside. This Eight seater restaurant is designed for take out. Call your orders in ahead. My favs are laksa spicy noodle soup. Order it with half vermicelli half yellow round noodles. One of the best i've had, including Singapore and Malaysia. Hokkien mee noodles are super tasty and authentic. Curry puffs are small n flavorful. Grass jelly drink is percect. This week I'll be trying their char kway teow and Nasi lemak. Can't wait to taste their kueh (dessert) read more

One2 Snacks - Malaysian Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Boutght the "Nasi lemak with sambal ikan bilis" for $6 +tax = $6.80 - cash only, as credit/ debit cards not accepted. It was served pretty quickly with good portion filling up 1 whole luunch box, comes with white rice, cucumber. lots of peanuts, 1 half of boiled egg, and spicy-sweet-salty sauce anchovies, The server says better to call up for ordering next time, sometimes they are booked up full. read more

Family-run, take-out joint. Really friendly service from Brian at the counter. I highly recommend calling in the order and then picking it up. Their desserts! Most of which are only available on the weekends and sell out quickly. Kuih lapis in particular. I really like peeling the layers and eating them one by one. They open at 11 am, and if you're there at 2 pm looking for the desserts, you are so out of luck. And that's usually me. And yes, I know, Gourmet Malaysia sells Malay desserts on the weekends to go, too. (Thanks, but pass.) But, the ones at One2Snacks are so much better. If it's a special occasion or if I have the urge, I will wake up specifically to line up and have my massive dose of Malay desserts. Their Malay desserts are just that good. That said, if you place your order ahead of time or even email your order, Brian will set aside what you want for you. I have never actually tried this, but Brian tells me about this option every time I miss out. ....Which is so so so often. Noodles are their specialty. Many Yelp reviews go on about their Char Kway Teow. I think it's okay, but just that. Same goes for their other noodle dishes (Meehoon Siam, Mee Goreng, Hokkien Meen, Loh Meen). I can't say any of their noodles are what I call "supremely-to-die-for-stellar." A decent deal and filling, but not what I would order from One2Snacks. [Side note: I doubt most people or places can make any of these dishes to the impossible standard of how grandma used to make it. That and the nostalgia.] Wat Tan Hor is a my favourite main dish from One2Snacks. It's a little bit saltier than I would like it to be, but I don't know anywhere else that makes it. Soupy, eggy, a couple of shrimps and balls. I also think their Curry Laksa and Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce are both pretty good too. So, to sum up. Come, if you can, for their desserts. If not, have their Curry Laksa, Wat Tan Hor, Chicken Satay. Also not mentioned, but would recommend: Nasi Lamak. I also like their Roti Canai (not available on weekends). read more

This place sucks....jk. Don't tell anyone else lol!!!!!!!!!!! Curry laksa is mind altering. Char kway teow is ridiculous. I ordered both extra spicy. This is primarily a take out spot but they do have some seating. If you sit inside prepare to sweat. It gets hot and spicy. It's definately worth it. I always order the curry puffs to snack on while I wait for the main dishes. My father is Malaysian do I love this cooking. It reminds me of my childhood. read more

Best place ever! Honestly, I love everything about this place except the wait times! Too bad they don't do delivery because I could have this everyday! I love the laksa, the flavours are out of this world! When they say spicy, they are not playing around, so be careful of what you wish for! I haven't tried the sweets yet but I heard they are amazing too! They received recognition for on one of the top food critics in the world! So really, there is nothing that can go wrong other than not being able to read the menu! Who cares? Everything is delicious!!! read more

One 2 Snack is a family operated take-out restaurant. The store sold a variety of affordable Kuala Lumpur-style Malaysian street food such as Char Kway Teow. The aroma of durian evokes strong reactions for many - from profound appreciation to extreme disgust. More durian for us, pro-durianer.....power of Darwinism! One 2 Snack was almost sold out of durian cakes when we arrived. The cake consisted of a delicious layer of durian and a layer of dense glutinous rice cake. Glutinous rice added a subtle savoriness to the inherit sweetness of durian. While I did not mind the cake's density, it needed more durian. My favorite was the pulut panggang. I loved the flavor profile of this unique snack. The spicy dried prawns, fried coconut, and glutinous rice mixture were grilled in a banana leaf. The rice absorbed the aroma of the banana leaf. There were so many dimensions to this seemingly simple snack. I snatched a piece of pulut panggang with the most prawns and coconut! I hope the staples used for the banana leaf wrap did not contain lead. If it did, this will be my last entry. Please bury me with some pulut panggang! The Char Kway Teow was my mother's favorite. The wok was heated to the proper temperature; steam was coming out from the noodles for a good three to six minutes. It was stir fried with chives, fish cakes, chickens, eggs, shrimps, bean sprouts, flat rice noodles and yellow noodles. The dish was plentiful. It had the smoothness of flat noodles and the al dente texture of yellow noodles. The smell of the salted shrimp lingered in my house for the whole afternoon. I enjoyed the wide range of flavors and the distinctive spiciness of authentic Kuala Lumpur Malaysian cuisine. Already planning my next visit to One 2 Snacks! read more

I'm a fan of this place! The business must be really good for them, since they are CLOSED Monday to Wednesday and close around 7PM (most people's dinner time) There is a very small seating area, it's mostly for take-out only. and most of the stuff, especially desserts are available on the weekend only! If you haven't been here before, I suggest you come on a weekend, so you can try more stuff. Very good authentic Malaysian food for take out. read more

TIP: They are NOT kidding about the spice level. I love spicy food, but even medium was was way too spicy for me. I think this is one of the only places in Toronto that has Laksa, and it's really good. It's the only thing on the menu that I have tried so far, but I'm really looking forward to going back. The bowl of noodles was HUGE, I was so full after 3/4ths of it I couldn't finish it. One2 Snacks is a super tiny take out place with room for maybe 10 people to sit max, so if you have a large order or a group of friends, it is better to call in to order take out and then go pick it up. I think they make each order as they receive them, so it takes a while to get your food as it does get super busy. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving Malaysian food. read more

One2 Snacks - Medium spicy Curry Laksa with mixed noodles - Malaysian Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

The only complaint I have about this place is....Why are you only open 4 days a week, I want to eat this stuff everyday! And please make more food, every time I come you are sold out This joint is gangbusting! read more

I have been going here since their grand opening. Brian is always a pleasure to chat with, food is mouth watering good, great prices, what more do you want? Tip for those that are thinking about going for the first time: 1. Call to order ahead of time. If not, you could end up waiting over an hour for your food. 2. Be wary of the spice level. I can handle spicy foods and I usually opt for medium. 3. Cash only. read more

Hidden Gem in scarborough like literally.. You have to call in for take out as it takes a while for them to prep the food and they don't really have any sitting area But this place is amazing read more

The Char Kuay Teow is out of this world. They also travel well. I drove from the West end of T.O. to pick up my take out order and the 'wok hei' can still be tasted when I got home. I recommend ordering them in spicy for the heat kick it up a notch. I think the secret is in the kitchen and the chef. #SupportSmallBusiness read more

The only thing negative I have to say about this place is the long wait! If it were not for that 5 stars from me without a doubt. But what can you blame it on? It is a family run tiny joint that serves food that are not only very reasonably priced but SO GOOD! Their weekend only items are one of a kind in Toronto, as far as I know. The family from my husband's side is Malaysian so they have a lot of critiques in comparison with KL street foods, but they still come here to get them when they want them... This tells you a lot, you can't find it anywhere else and as extensive as Toronto's market goes for fresh herbs and flavors and ingredients, this is the only place to go! read more

This store serves some of the best malaysian food in Toronto. Their Chow Kway Tew, Mee Goreng and Curry Laska are my favourites. They have this durian cake that they sell only on the weekends and it tastes amazing. The wait is very long (at least an hour wait - from ordering to getting food). But you can tell they are doing their best - just too many orders coming in!! The guy in the front is extremely polite and nice and he always gives explainations and recommendations for those who are unfamiliar with their menu items. You can also call in your order ahead of time (even a day before), but they are so busy that they don't pick up their calls most of the time and their voicemail is always full. Regardless of the wait, this place is a definite must-try for those who enjoy Malaysian food:) read more

One2 Snacks - Char kway tew, Curry Laska and Mee Goreng - Malaysian Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Exceptional food with generous portion size at a reasonable price! Having stayed in Singapore for 8 years, One2Snacks serves food that are authentic to the local flavours of Malaysia/Singapore -- An extreme rarity in Toronto. Do call in your order for pick up though, unless you are ok to wait. read more

one of the few Asian places that have true Wok Hay in the GTA. BUT they are way too busy. On the weekend, there is no walk in/ phone orders . you have to pre order via email days before. you can try to have a walk in order but it can be 1- 1.5 hours wait for small order. The Char Kway Toew is to die for and my go-to dish. 10/10 other like Curry Laksa 8/10 , Chicken Curry are only ok 8/10 . Durain - 8/ 10 The reason why they are so slow is that they make each order one at a time and do not double or trouble up the servings to get true wok hay flavour. Plus they have lots of loyal customers. Open only Thursday to Sunday. if you are very organized this place is great to plan your meals, but if you have kids or a busy life this can be challenging read more

Love this place and it truly reminds of Singaporean Malay food. Hands down best Laksa I've had in Toronto and they have weekend specials such as assorted coconut milk desserts and my favourite - Pulut Panggang (glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaves with shrimp filling) read more

Liked it, but didn't looove it, like other reviewers. Perhaps it was the menu items I chose, (Singapore laksa and char kway teow), and both were very good, but didn't blow me away in comparison to similar dishes from other nearby competitors. I am planning a second visit to compare the same dishes from here as well as two nearby competitors, and I will sample them head-to-head and post the results. To be clear, the food was very good, the service and the owners were rushed but pleasant, and the lineup was absurd, but the overall experience was a very solid 3 or 3 1/2. read more

Pros: - Cheap eat with large portions - Everything tasted fresh - Desserts were amazing! - Lots of parking Cons: - Food was a bit bland - Ordering take out can take a while. Took about 45-50 minutes for us to get our food - Very little seating Ordered: $7 Char Kway Teow - It was good but not amazing considering other reviews $7.25 Lasi Nemak w/ Curry Chicken Conclusion: We went here based on reviews from several places. The place is tucked away in a plaza with lots of parking. The place was quite full when we arrived(12:30) so we had to wait around 10 minutes to order. When we did order, we had to wait 45-50 mins for our food which is way to long for takeout which was a huge turnoff. Theres very little seating inside, maybe about 8 seats. Overall the food was ok. I thought the Char Kway Teow was a little bland. There wasn't much flavour. Its was similar to Ho Fun at a Chinese place. The Lasi Nemak was also just okay. The desserts however were really good. I got the durian and coconut desserts and would come back for those. Overall I'm indifferent about this place. Its cheap, with large portions but lacks some flavour. They also need to improve the wait times for takeout. I'd probably only come back for the desserts. read more

The curry laksa was very flavorful with quite a few pieces of chicken leg meat, tofu puffs, fish balls, 2 shrimps, lots of bean sprouts and 2 kinds of noodles for the authentic way of enjoying this dish. Portion was very generous, soup piping hot. Very reasonably priced at $6.75. Too bad that they no longer serve any dessert items during the weekdays now. Highly recommended!! read more

Not much to say here everyone pretty much said it. Have the curry laksa it's really good!!! If u like laksa come here and get some now!! It's that good. Now if they only had more seats...

No sit down service, no drinks, most food is limited order, no walk-in (unless you just win the lottery and consider yourself very lucky), if you are okay with these you will love you place read more

Been craving southeast Asian food for a while so I looked up on Yelp and saw good review on this place. Called them on Friday evening around 5 and ordered a Laksa noodle and a chicken curry (without rice) for takeout. The price of both together is like the price of one in a Malaysian restaurant. Picked up the food half an hour later and there was no wait. Already a good start. The guy there was very polite and nice. The food was great! It was such a lovely experience having this food... Reminds me of my time in Singapore! The portion was also generous. We were also given the chilly sauce that burn our tongues! Will definitely be back again soon. Highly recommend. read more

Before you read on, be warned. If you don't order ahead, prepare for a 1 hour+ wait. Email or call to ensure your order is placed before you go. This place is not designed for arrive, order, eat. Cash only. Now that that's out of the way, this place is absolutely the best Malaysian food, ESPECIALLY for the price. Amazing sized portions, flavourful, and authentic. The staff are polite, the food is top quality, and the service is great. I've been searching forever for such a great Malaysian food place and I can honestly say I've found it. Their Mee Goreng, Curry Laksa, and Char kway teow are definite must tries. You won't regret. TL;DR: Order ahead, cash only, be wow'd. read more

It's like walking into a Travel Agency. Malaysia destination posters align the walls along with photos of some colorful Food selection. The Menu is affordable(!) while having plenty of selection of Malaysian Snacks & Hawker's Delights that made you wish you can book a Flight Ticket right away. Actually One-2-Snacks is part of Malaysiakitchen.ca(along with MATRADE) promotes Malaysian products/services, foods/culture across Canada starting with Toronto, Ottawa & Vancouver. You might recognize some of the other participating restaurants in the GTA that help this cause; Restoran Malaysia, Villa Malaysia, Matahari Bar & Grill. The space and setup reminds me of the Curry Fishball Stalls at Pacific Mall but here I would say it has uniqueness as some items are not commonly found regularly. Even the Curry Fish Balls(5pc/skewer $1.50) has the Malaysia style Curry Sauce. They note that everything is made fresh and apologize in advance as it takes time to prep, so be patient and grab one of the handful of stools. 3.5 *Star* Chicken Satay w/Peanut Sauce(4 Skewers $3.99) Appam Balik(Crispy Crepe) - (Peanut & Coconut $1.25) Curry Puff($0.80) Definitely represents Malaysia well and who doesn't love Snacks or Hawker foods anyways. Too bad they don't have Teh Tarik(Restoran Malaysia does). As a Food first, Decor second casual-comfort wearing person that's VALUE oriented, One-2-Snack works all the right angles. read more

Found this quaint small eatery on yelp. I googled map the location and ventured forth looking for this restaurant which specializes in Malaysian dishes. Ordered the Hokkien Mee and was very satisfied after I inhaled all that saucy, noodley goodness with tender fish cakes, shrimp and chicken. Will definitely go back to try their other dishes. I hear the laksa is amazingly orgasmic...love me some laksa, la! My only complaint is it's too small for such a popular hawker stall. I hope they expand or open another location like in Toronto, Yonge and Eglinton maybe? What do you say Bryan? read more

One2 Snacks - Char Kuey Teow--Oodles of goodness. Ask for their hot chili paste on the side. - Malaysian Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Overall, super delicious noodles, good quantity for a decent price. Wait is super long though, so call in advance!! ------ Went and grabbed the Char Kway Teow (with egg) as we were in the area and were hungry. Came out to around $8 or something. We got the flat noodle with the egg noodle mixed in, and it was delicious! My wife said they had enough "wok air" or "wok power" in making the noodles. To me, it had enough heat or humidity that gave it an aromatic smell, perhaps with a bit of smokiness? Very flavourful, I really enjoyed the medium spicy. Chicken pieces inside were alright, only for one piece of shrimp, but it really was the noodles that tasted awesome. Pretty good portions for a pretty good price. Felt pretty authentic, and about 1/3 the price of Pai, for more, and probably tastier too. Apparently the laksa sauce was really good which I'll have to try next time. The wait was as bad as everyone mentioned, next time we're going to have to call in advance. read more

I can't believe we just now found this place! It's a small take out spot tucked in a strip mall. Service was very friendly and attentive despite how busy they were. Food was great, we only tried 3 dishes but we will be back soon for more! read more

Got there today (Sunday) around 2:30pm.....super busy place. Non-stop phone calls, and people coming in and out to place orders and picking up. We ordered the Char Kway Teow and the Curry Laksa. Was told it's going to take 20 mins for everything. While waiting we noticed nearly everyone is getting those layered cakes. And slowly one by one got sold out. So we grab the Kuih Talam and Kuih Dadar while we still can. Seems like these cakes are only available on weekends and usually sold out around 1pm. The Laksa is very good while the Char Kway Teow is average. Will go back for sure. read more

It's much harder to find than it may appear, tucked in a strip mall that's actually off of a main road. And yet year after year its popularity is way too big to fit in the tiny store that houses One2 Snacks. Purveyor of cheap Malaysian street foods in Toronto, the restaurant is so small you can barely squeeze 6-8 folks dining in their equally tiny tables and window bar. I mainly saw people downing bowls of their popular curry laksa. I tried the Hokkien Mee mixed noodles, it was alright, heavy on the soy sauce and salt. It sure was an awful lot of noodles for the price, rare eh? The young guy fronting the family business kept a positive composure. As representative of the global diversity of food found in the inner suburbs may be, weekends I discover quickly means long waits, like even an hour long. I guess it's a good idea to call ahead, if only you know already what to order. [TTC: Sheppard East buses to Glen Watford Drive, which is one light east of Midland.] read more

I've been coming here for a year or 2 and it's the greatest! Service is great but on a side note I would preorder if you are doing takeout because it does take a while. There is only two people running the kitchen from what I can see and they do get flooded with orders throughout the day. Otherwise you can expect to wait from 20mins to 30mins. Food, overall is delicious and I'm referring to all of their entree. I don't think I've tried anything that tasted bad. My favourite dish is their Char Kway Teow and Pad Thai. Overall, i believe their dishes taste pretty authentic in terms of Malaysian cuisine. I definitely recommend this place. read more
