Heard a lot about Patois over the past few years so finally got around to trying them out this week. First and foremost, their food is delicious. We had: - seafood pasta - Fried chicken w/ rice and peas - Pork noodles I especially enjoyed the seafood pasta as it was filling and flavorful. There was just one aspect that I found really annoying with these guys. It wasn't that they charged $20-30 per entree, no... because if other cuisines and restaurants can get away with that price point, there's no reason why Caribbean can't be elevated enough to as well. It's that they charged $5 for the most piddling amount of ox tail gravy.. the nickel and diming felt greedy and left me with a bad taste. I've already paid $20-30, don't charge me $5 for 2 tbsp of gravy. I wouldn't go back, but if you want to have a slightly elevated Caribbean experience and just vibe, it's not a bad option. read more

I love Caribbean and Chinese food so I was really excited to try this spot. On their menu they have a few different plates (that our server recommended sharing family-style), and platter options (set menus made for groups or for two). We decided to go family style because there were specific items we've seen online that we wanted to try! Also just a heads up, the portions aren't that big. What we ordered: Izakaya shrimp pasta: Very garlicky and creamy! Had a great flavour and it was very unique as it was made with ramen noodles. Would definitely be too heavy if I were to finish all of it by myself, the few bites I had were enough for me! Popcorn shrimp fried rice: Was very excited to try this one and it had a really rich umami flavour. The tobiko eggs added a nice crunch and sweetness. A tag bit oily but that is to be expected sometimes with fried rice. Half-portion of jerk chicken: Tasted pretty standard but it was quite juicy. I liked the pickles it came with! read more

Came to Patois for Winterlicious. It was a restaurant I've wanted to try for some time. The inside is nice, great vibes, nice music, extremely friendly staff. I have to say I was disappointed with the food. The beef patties which were short ribs with oxtail gravy was quite bland and well dried inside. I wished there was more gravy or at least gravy to maybe dip it in. The pastry itself was nice. It was served with a garlic sauces which I found very weird as an accompaniment. I ordered the Fried Chicken with Mac and cheese and coleslaw. The chicken, the coating itself had a nice crunch but the chicken was just bland. I got a side of their house hot sauce to help. The hot sauce was nice, very spicy but really there was nothing saving the chicken. The coleslaw wasn't great and well the Mac and cheese was just ok. Overall I found the found just not spiced the way I would have thought it would be for a Chinese/Jamaican place. The dessert was delicious. I got the grilled pineapple ice cream. Overall, the food was ok. I would come back to try the other dishes, but I left hungry and went home and had a sandwich. read more

Fabulous place with a creative twist on Asian Carribean food! Small restaurant with a nice, eclectic vibe. Really cool staff and delicious food. It's a bit pricy but worthwhile. (Not so much the drinks). Highly recommend the 3 patties, and the pineapple bun burger. The combination of the salty smash burger patties and the sweet flaky pineapple bun is to die for. Frozen patties are available for purchase next door too! read more

Over priced mediocre food not even worth the value small portion size. Got the 2 person platter. 2 started good items Brussel sprouts good the calamari with aloi. The rest not worth it for 99$. Cabbage coleslaw , peas and rice, crushed marinated cucumber very spicy. Cornbread not bad not super exciting crispy crumbly exterior herb butter decent. Chicken was small got a leg and a breast very small pickles in a paper sauce thing they give out at McDonald's for condiments. For 100$ I didn't even get steak, lobster or shrimp. + Up charge 10$ for oxtail. I could have similar food at a Caribbean resto take out and not have to pay half this price. Tables were very small, very noisy blasting music to a point where I have to shout across the small table to hear your friend. Could not even hear what th host said the items were that came to the table. Washrooms narrow downstairs and very narrow washroom stalls. Floors were wet as sink was super tiny. Decorations semi decent. Nice bar table in the front. Servers were okay no issues. Not worth the price save your money go else where. Don't understand the hype. Full on Friday evening. I don't see the fusion on the foods Jamaican-Asian not really there it's one or the other. It's a miss for me. read more

I can't lie. The customer service here was really nice. And I did like the restaurant outlay itself. I wouldn't say there's much of an ambiance there, but it's definitely a Vibe and can make you feel comfortable. But I must say the food was very mediocre. I'm happy I went here during summerlicious because of I spent full price for the food that I ate I would have left. Very upset. I would not recommend this place nor will I be going back. read more

my first time trying Jamaican chinese food. and patties! It kind of reminds me of an empanada! really yummy and the dough was soft and bready ~ fillings were great too and loved the dipping sauces we also got jerk chicken chow mein! super cool fusion food! lowkey idk what jerk chicken is supposed to taste like so idk if im credible but I enjoyed the food for dessert we finished w a hk style French toast! One of my favorite things to eat in hk and I was surprised to see it offered here. the bread was layered with a cookie spread and it was so sweet and indulgent. just a bit heavy on the sauce so I think if I were to do it again, I'd ask for less the place is super vibey and has a specific charm to it! it feels hipster but in a good way? feel like it's casual but also can be elevated for special occasions! service was stellar!! our waitress was really friendly and nice and conversational! overall, I think this was a great introduction to Chinese Jamaican food bc it was very much satisfying :) read more

Went to Patois for dinner and enjoyed the unique Asian-Caribbean fusion food. My friend and I ordered the oxtail mac and cheese with kimchi and the jerk chicken chow mein. The mac and cheese was excellent--rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. The chow mein, however, was a bit underwhelming and lacked flavour. That said, the overall experience was positive. The service was quick and friendly, and while it was quiet when we arrived, the place was packed by the time we left. I'd definitely go back to try more dishes, as everything around us looked great and other diners seemed to be enjoying their meals. read more

PATOIS TORONTO Location: Downtown Toronto Overall: 4/5 Price: $$-$$$ QUICK TAKE: Caribbean-Asian fusion that's pushing boundaries and creating flavor combinations you didn't know you needed in your life. PRO TIP: Hit this spot for lunch to avoid the dinner rush and score the coveted back booth! THE FEAST BREAKDOWN: 1. Brussels Sprout Salad (5/5) HOLD UP. This isn't your typical boring sprouts situation. The texture play here is INSANE - each bite is a journey through crispy, tender, and crunchy elements. The flavor profile? Absolutely knocked it out of the park. This is the dark horse MVP of the menu. 2. Pork Spare Ribs (3.5/5) * Flavor: On point! * Temperature: Needed some help * Would I order again?: Yes, but would request "extra hot" 3. Jerk Chicken (4/5) The heat level? Perfect for spice enthusiasts without being overwhelming. Meat was slightly Claude, but the seasoning game was strong enough to mostly make up for it. The authenticity of the jerk spices shines through. 4. Pineapple Bun Burger (4.5/5) NOW WE'RE TALKING! This burger is what fusion dreams are made of: * Perfectly seasoned beef patty * The bun! That subtle sweetness from the pineapple bun is *chef's kiss* * Juicy factor: * Temperature: Could've been hotter PRO TIP: Eat this one first while it's hot! PORTION SIZES: Feast for 2 ($$$) is actually enough for 3-4 if you're adding sides. Strategic ordering recommended! SERVICE (5/5): * Attentive without hovering * Secured us the prime back booth spot * Regular check-ins * Knowledgeable about menu items * Quick to refill drinks AMBIANCE (4/5): * Chill, laid-back vibe * Bar seating up front for solo diners * Good mix of tables for different group sizes * Music: Perfect volume for conversation * Lighting: Just right for those #foodstagram shots OVERALL EXPERIENCE: This is fusion done right - not just throwing cuisines together, but thoughtfully combining flavors that actually make sense. While there were some temperature issues, the flavors were consistently on point. THE VERDICT: Worth the visit for: * That Brussels sprout salad (seriously!) * Unique fusion concepts * Relaxed atmosphere * Attentive service * The pineapple bun burger experience Room for improvement: * Temperature consistency * Chicken tenderness * Maybe add some happy hour specials? INSIDER TIPS: * Lunch is your best bet for a chill experience * Back booth = best seat in the house * Brussels sprouts are a MUST * Save room for the burger * Portions are generous - plan accordingly PARKING: Street parking available, but can be tricky. Consider rideshare or public transit. read more

This place was an absolute highlight of visiting Toronto. Recommended by a local Toronto resident - I was impressed with this one. The ambiance of the location when you walk in is pretty nice. The myriad of food options we ordered came on a round spinner in the center of the table, allowing us to share food very easily. So we ordered all types of things that were all amazing. The food is a mix of Asian/Carribbean fusion, which was a new thing for me, but I was so full & left wanting more still! It didn't photograph well, but the most memorable thing I got was the cookie butter french toast that was one of the most delicious desserts I've gotten at a restaurant in a long long time. Could definitely do this again. read more

This establishment is located steps away from Bathurst and Dundas. I love the atmosphere here, it's a great place to have drinks with friends/ more casual date. Their food is fusion of Chinese and Jamaican food. I tried their pineapple burger which was $27.5. Although their food is on the pricier side, I do feel like their food is a solid 7/10. I would come back with a bigger group of friends next time, and order a bunch of things to share. The table next to us ordered their Jerk Chicken Chow Mein ($27) and it looks very appetizing/ great value! read more

Patois Toronto - Pineapple burger ($27.5) - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

the food was delicious and our server did great! However, it started off with a bad welcoming. I was running late for our reservation at 7pm due to Toronto traffic, policy is to hold for 15 mins but to call if running late. So I called 3 times at 6:45 left a voicemail and again at 6:54 and 7:10 and no answer. Then I get a call back at 7:26 and they said they gave our table up even though we were 2 minutes away. I understand policy but to not pick up your phone and call me to say you gave the table up and that your phone was upstairs...what is the point of calling then... Anyways, the food and drinks were good. Started with the Patios House Beer and Island storm. Also got the Jerk Pork Belly Yakisoba, Kingston Calamari, and Ox Tail Mac And Cheese. Our favourite was the Jerk Pork Yakisoba. It came with 3 long pieces of pork and a full plate of noodles. The calamari had such a soft breading yet crispy. The sauce was at the bottom so it was a little hard to get to for the first few bites. The Oxtail Mac and cheese had a lot of cheese and creamy; I didn't get too much ox tail in the dish but it's fine. Very filling! Price wasn't too bad for the amount of food we got! Space is small but it looked like it accommodated big groups (6+) and fit a lot of tables. read more

Reservations! This place was packed and they take their reservations seriously. My friend wanted to try this fusion Chinese Jamaican food because it's a unique combo you don't see much. Staff is pretty friendly. We didn't have reservations and opted to wait out any no shows and they were still attentive to us. We decided to sit outdoors instead of standing in the doorway. It was a rainy day so only one other party was dining in the covered outdoor seating. It kind of stormed so seats were little soaked but the hostess got us paper towels to wipe them down. We waited about an hour and gave up, deciding to dine outside since that didn't require reservations. Our only concern was the food getting rained on when they brought it out but the rain cooperated. I think my favorite was the burger that used a pineapple top bun as the bun. Hilarious fusion take and the one must try item. It was pretty good, not life changing but a must try once for those who grew up with pineapple buns and anyone who likes the sweet and savory mix. To those weirded out by combo, don't be a jerk chicken. We also went with the crispy noodle dish since we saw someone else order that. The sauce is pretty strong but it was good overall. Last dish we got was spare ribs. Pretty similar to the honey spare ribs you find at some dim sum places except coated and deep fried in what I assume is Jamaican seasoning. If you've never tried Jamaican food, I guess prepare yourself for flavor overload. I don't mean that in a bad way, just saying that since my friends were surprised by it. read more

The food here was delicious. We tried the brunch menu (so it didn't have a lot of the most commonly reviewed items) and opted for a Create Your Own Ultimate Brunch with two items and a side ($48). I think that's cheaper than if you bought everything separately, but maybe just by a few bucks? We chose the Patois Eggs Benny and Fried Chicken and Waffles, and the Trini Mac Pie (+$6). So in all, our meal was $54 and around $70 including tax and tip. The chicken and waffles was AMAZING - the cornbread waffles were such a great texture and flavour, and the chicken was seasoned perfectly. I seriously could have had a bucket of chicken. The one issue I had was that the sweet waffles kept attracting wasps, and we weren't even seated outside! We ended up scarfing down our food in 10 minutes to escape them. But other than that, 100% recommend the chicken and waffles. The Eggs Benny was good, but nothing too special. The use of the Jamaican patty as the base was definitely interesting, but it had become a bit soggy. The Trini Mac Pie was honestly really good but it was a bit unfortunate we had to pay a $6 upcharge for it as I didn't think including it in the $48 would be crazy, given the size of each dish. Overall, I definitely recommend Patois. Next time I'll come for dinner and try some of the more hyped items! read more

This Jamaican/Asian fusion eatery in the heart of downtown Toronto delivers a mighty punch. Our table shared the whole shebang (a smorgasbord of their most popular dishes) and I also had the rum punch and a shared French toast infused with cookie dough. The standout items were the burger, the potatoes, the jerk chicken and the dessert (how decadent). The restaurant is trendy, it has a tropical vibe and very attentive service. What more can you ask for? read more

Such a unique concept - I've never had Chinese-Jamaican cuisine before so this was a MUST during our visit. We were greeted and seated by an extremely friendly server who provided great recommendations, and the food did not disappoint! We ordered the following: -Jerk Chicken Chow Mein (with soft noodles): very flavorful, a bit spicy -Pineapple Bun Smash Burger: DELICIOUS, it was sweet and savory and had so much flavor in every bite, the shrimp chips were a bit stale though I would highly recommend trying this spot if you're in the area! read more

Patois was recommended to me by a couple of friends for my trip to Toronto. The vibe is super cool and they had some bomb music playing! Apparently we came for their first weekend for the return of their brunch menu (April 2023). Our waiter told us that all the dishes were family style and he recommended that we share. We ordered the fried chicken and French toast, short ribs and Mac pie and the candied bacon (all came highly recommend by our waiter.) If you're someone who really LOVES savory and sweet on one plate, this place is for you. It's not really my jam especially for every dish and my favorite part of what we ordered was the chicken and Mac pie. The short ribs were a bit tough as well. Worth the stop if you're in Toronto. read more

Love this fusion, the menu made it so hard for us to choose. Definitely will come back to try more things. Our waitress was super nice and helpful to us. She moved us to a different table on the patio because the table was broken. We tried the beef ribs, the jerk chicken chow mein , and the brussel sprouts. The ribs were stunning. 11/10 would try again. My friend and I still are talking about how good they were. The jerk chicken chow mein was interesting! Smokey flavour but next time I'd order crispy as the soft was too soupy for me. I didn't love this dish. We both really liked the brussel sprouts. They were coated in a mayo sesame sauce with bean sprouts and cold noodles. Overall, the dishes were pretty expensive despite splitting between both of us, and the portions were okay sized. I'd say it's a splurge visit but worth it ! read more

Despite many reviews not enjoying the service, the service was slow but extraordinary. I ate at the bar and the bartender was friendly and personable. The food and drinks came out swiftly. The whole restaurant is a vibe, great background music. This isn't pure authenticity Jamaican Chinese, definitely a Western culture blend too it. I was all for it. I went with all my restaurants favorites. The Patois Rum Punch was a perfect cocktail to kick the night off. The OG Fried Chicken didn't miss. It was a generous 3 pieces, fried very well. They came with all the fixings- pickled daikon, pickles, scotch bonnet/pineapple sauce (wow!! it was a masterpiece of a sauce) and I purchased a garlic sauce which was also superb. The MVP was the rice and peas with the oxtail gravy. Bruh! It touched my soul. I never had it before but it was sensational, top 10 sides I ever had in my life. Capped off the meal with a shot and was incredibly satisfying. Not sure where the drop off is with other patrons but its worth giving it a shot to judge for yourself. read more

It just beckons me when I get the opportunity to experience two cultural foods together. What a combination, Chinese and Caribbean. We were seated outside and I was a bit perplexed, thinking about how all the dishes might fit on the small table. We made it work with the three of us. The house lager was very tasty. We had the Jamaican pepper shrimp toast, Jamaican oxtail, doubles with fried okra, Chinese pineapple bun burger, juicy jerk chicken, and jerk, pork belly yakisoba. Everything was really fantastic. We missed out on the lobster nuggets as they just ran out. Our waitress was a bit busy so we had to try and catch her at times for extra chair, set of silverware, drinks, and ordering extra food dishes, and the bill. read more

finally got to cross patois off my list and it was worth the wait! i enjoyed the more asian side of their Jamaican Chinese fusion dishes - especially the izakaya creamy shrimp pasta. It was rich with mushroom umami flavour and paired well with the chewy ramen noodles. The jerk chicken had good flavour but was a bit on the drier side, more so for the white meat pieces. I also saw cookie butter HK french toast on the menu so that was a sure order. The cookie butter flavor was not really noticeable but It was a really good HK french toast! Overall, it was a very satisfying meal and I would definitely come back to try more dishes and their patties. on our menu: juicy jerk chicken - double (7/10 ) izakaya shrimp pasta (9/10 ) cheesy jerk butter potatoes (7.5/10 ) cookie butter french toast (8/10 ) read more

The food and service at this Jamaican restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. They seem to be short staff so it takes a long time to receive service. The fried okra double containing 3 mini circles of deep fried okra and canned chic peas was tasteless, I'm not sure how this dish is considered one of the best; At $17 I expected a least a flavourful appetizer, this was not only doughy and greasy but also lacked fillings. The only thing tasty was the hot sauce (see pic attached) it's also one double open-faced. The peas and rice was dry and had about 5 peas in the entire dish, again no taste, this is not authentic in any way, no coconut milk or herbs and pepper. The jerk chicken smelled smoky but lacked seasoning, the double portion ordered is less than 1/2 a chicken and brushed with hot sauce not jerk sauce. The atmosphere is loud with music which makes for a noisy experience if you're looking to have conversations however the drinks were delicious. For the 3 dishes and two beverages the bill was $115. This restaurant is a skip, save your money and time along with your desire for Jamaican food this place is not it for food. read more

We sat at the bar and ordered the -pineapple bao burger (meh overall, bun felt dense) -original fried chicken (wonderful, so crispy and light) I was really excited to eat here since it's two of my favorite foods together but unfortunately I didn't have as much stomach space to devour the menu. I wasn't particularly wowed by the burger. The vibe is cute though. read more

I've always wanted to go here and it didn't disappoint. We ordered the feast for two. It was a great way to try a lot of items. Jerk chicken, fried chicken, pineapple bun burger, Mac n cheese, patties, rice and peas with oxtail gravy and coleslaw. This definitely gave you a survey of their menu. Filling absolutely! Yet for me it was missing a seafood component. I was curious about the other pieces they carry but to be fair it was enough for two people that say had a healthy appetite . Was it spicy? Yes, some of it was. One of the fried chickens was and also one of the dipping sauces. All of the food was flavourful and did not suffer from bland. The standout for me was the fried chicken (the not too spicy one ) and Greg going to laugh the bun for the burger. In addition, I couldn't get enough of the rum punch. I could drink that all day but I probably shouldn't . Order it!!!!! Won't regret it! The customer service is pretty awesome. Everyone was so helpful and pleasant. It's relaxing atmosphere and busy from the moment it opens make sure to make reservation. read more

Best Asian fusion food I've had. Even though patois is marketed as a Chinese Jamaican fusion restaurant, the Chinese half seemed to be lacking aside from the food apparently being cooked by woks and the taste of soy sauce in the lo mein. I had the pork belly yakisoba while my companion had a fish wrapped in banana leaf. The fish portion was way too small for the price. The yakisoba had bigger portions and the pork belly stood out. But too little was given It's so loud and crowded in the restaurant though. If they have an option to make a reservation, then I would encourage you to do so. read more

Patois has been on our list to try for some time. I've never had Caribbean Asian fusion, so I was interested to see how Craig Wong had married the two cultures. We ordered three items that totalled about $70: - Chinese "Pineapple" Bun Burger: Overall a good burger. Only thing was the patty definitely overpowered the flavours of the buns - if there could be a way to bring out the pineapple buns a little more, I think this has the potential to be a 5/5 burger - Jerk Chicken Chow Mein: I'm not a huge fan of chow mein (reminds me of greasy takeout), but the protein was cooked well and I liked the slight kick of the spice. The dish felt mainly Asian, so maybe it could use more jerk flavouring - Michiba Crispy Brussel Sprouts: Best dish of our meal - on the surface, this seems like a fancy salad, but there's so many layers and textures that keeps you wanting more We came at an off-peak time (around 3pm on a Saturday), so the restaurant wasn't busy. Servers were super nice and attentive. I'm not in this area a lot, but Patois is a great option for a hearty meal. read more

However great experience See photos of our dishes! The pineapple bun was amazing. So was the desert and i'm not a big sweets person, but the french toast is 100% worth a try.

I think Patois deserves at least a four stars on here! I went through the reviews that rated it poorly and noticed that many of the complaints were that it wasn't authentic Jamaican food. Well surprise, Patois is a fusion place. My advice is to stop being so obsessed with authenticity and prepare to try something new. Patois is a Jamaican-Chinese fusion restaurant, according to an interview with Chef Craig Wong, he grew up in a Chinese family and community in Jamaica eating "Jamaican food with Chinese ingredients, and Chinese food with Jamaican ingredients," and that is the exactly the type of food they serve at Patois. Luckily for me, I am super into fusion food, especially Asian-Fusion food. Growing up in Asia with Asian food, it's always nice to taste new flavor combinations and experience what North America is all about. The matrimony between different culture and tastes. We ordered the whole shebang feast for two. It was A LOT of food. It came with 2 Jamaican Patties, Trini Mac Pie, 2 Piece Juicy Jerk Chicken, 2 Piece O.G. Fried Chicken, Chinese Pineapple Bun Burger, Jamaican Coleslaw, Medium Rice & Peas, Kale Salad. We especially enjoyed the Chinese Pineapple Bun Burger, it's truly something special that you can't get elsewhere. In addition to dining in at Patois, I have also ordered the at home Dim Sum Kit from patois that comes frozen. I think the dim sum kit is my favorite part about Patois. I haven't seen it available for a while but I think it deserves a mention because the kit is Dim Sum with Jamaican flavors. Shrimp Toast, Pork + Crab Siu Mai, Duck Confit Foie Gras Eggroll. They were all amazing. I really hope the bring it back. Overall, I really enjoyed Patois, and I love what it stands for. read more

Made a reservation and chose to sit at the bar, which was empty. Service was slow but they were friendly. I had so much hope for this place, but I was really disappointed by the portions. This place is way too overpriced for how much protein you get in the meals. We got the short ribs, oxtail, and jerk chicken chow mein. The short ribs were tasty but we only got 2 pieces each. The oxtail had twice the amount of rice as compared to stew, which was very disproportionate. And the chow mein had maybe 10 tiny shredded pieces of chicken. All these dishes were 30% overpriced. I wouldn't go back again. I'd rather go to Chubby's and spend less for more. read more

I came across this place on one of the must visit Toronto restaurants and I am so glad I did. Tucked away in the west side of the city, this place is a cute hole in the wall. Reservations were easy to make for a Sunday early dinner. Most items on the menu are a Caribbean and Asian fusion. We stuck to the traditional food and opted to get the Jerk chicken, fried chicken, beef patty and a side of coleslaw. The food arrived in no time. My personal favourite was the jerk chicken. The marinade was hot, spicy and flavourful while the chicken was juicy. The service was also fantastic. Only request? Please include sides with the chicken orders :) read more
