    Roywoods is a very popular Caribbean food restaurant. This is their sixth location. They are usually takeout-only. They are known for their Jerk Chicken. We ordered the following: 1. Oxtail Plate (small $14). It comes with rice and beans. You can choose to have Vegetables or Cole Slaw, which comes in a separate takeout container; we chose Cole Slaw. 2. Plantain ($6.00). The serving may look small, but when you put it on a plate, it is quite large. The Oxtail was tasty, moist, and fall-off-the-bone. The rice and cole slaw were good. The plantain was excellent. The customer service was good. They soft-opened 2024-03-22 and grand-opened 2024-03-28. There were no grand opening specials. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking and parking lots. Review 2024-059

    Small Oxtail plate with a side of vegetables

    I work nearby and so when I saw they were setting up their new location here, I was SO EXCITED because it's actually so hard to find good Carribean food in this area of downtown without having to spend all your money. I previously ordered from their union station location and had a good experience, so when I saw they finally opened I immediately had to go. They're takeout only, no seating available. It's located in the unit that uncle tetsu used to be in before moving across the road, beside the donut store. During my 2 visits on weekdays between early to late afternoons, they seemed to still be installing new machinery but overall had a solid menu available. There was no other customer ahead of me and so the wait was a maximum of 5 minutes. The staff were friendly and helpful in answering my questions. During my visits, I ordered the Small Oxtail plate ($14) which comes with a small container almost overflowing with rice and beans, and oxtail, and then a side of coleslaw or stir fry vegetables served in a separate container; I opted for the vegetables. There was so much oxtail served I ran out of rice and they filled it to the brim that when you unpack it, it almost overflowed which was great! Unfortunately the vegetables were super salty. It reminded me of what I make at home but someone dropped a pile of salt on it. Also ordered the festival $2.50 and plantains $6. The festival unfortunately quickly turned very hard very quickly and I ultimately couldn't bite into it. The plantains were GREAT and I will definitely order that again. I seem to be experiencing some bad luck but I'm still gonna keep visiting to see which dishes work for me.

The I Heart Butter Tart Concrete ($6.49) that I ordered was a little too much for myself. I did decide to go through and finish the ice cream / sundae just so I don't have anything to go. The interior of the place was properly though out and well designed. Self order stations are available to order from and the ordering interface is one of the better systems I have seen. When I dined in early afternoon on a weekday it was a rather slow day. There were a couple of Shake Shack employees constantly roaming about the premises ready to attend to any customer request. 1 such employee was thoughtful enough to serve me and a group of other customers some water. I have mixed feelings about the bathroom setup. Yes, it is clean and there were a few toilet rooms available, but it requires a code to be entered prior to using. The door screen shows as vacant but an employee still needs to give out the 4 digit code needed to access the toilets. I also found some issues with the water faucet sensors. It is inconsistently picking up my gestures resulting in an unreliable and unsteady flow of running water when I was washing my hands.

I couldn't let the opportunity pass. The dining space? Bright, clean, inviting. Modern but casual. Off to a genuinely good start. And then... things went south. I ordered the peri-peri chicken with two sides. The wait was excruciating. Not just long--confusing. Every single person who ordered after me was eating while I sat there wondering if my ticket got lost in another country. When the chicken finally arrived, I was stunned--and not in a good way. Easily the smallest leg/thigh combo I've ever seen. Yes, I'm used to USA-sized, GMO-filled chickens, but I've eaten plenty overseas. This wasn't "European portioning." This was kiddie-sized. Flavor? Underwhelming. Forgettable. Nothing that made me pause, nothing that lingered. For a place built on peri-peri heat and personality, this was shockingly flat. I can get chicken with more punch at my local Grocery & Go. The mac and cheese had decent texture--the breadcrumbs did their job--but flavor-wise? Completely bland. Zero soul. The fries? Although well seasoned, we're like warm. Overhyped things rarely deliver, and Nando's sadly fits the bill. Massive disappointment is the phrase that keeps coming to mind

The reason they have "express" in their store name is that the food is usually ready within 2 mins. During busy times, you have to wait until they get to your order. There is a little window where they place food that is ready, and a server brings them to your table (if you are dining in). We ordered the following: A1: Spring Roll 4 pcs ($11.99). A2: Shrimp Fresh Roll 4 pcs ($11.99). M1: Assorted Thap Cam Banh Mi ($8.99). P1: Special Beef Noodle Soup/Pho ($17.99). C2: Grilled Chicken and Fried Egg on Broken Rice ($15.99). V1: Grilled Pork & Spring Rolls with Vermicelli ($18.99). D1: Passion-Mango Green Tea ($4.99). D4: Ice Coffee with Condensed Milk ($4.99). D5: Pop x 2 ($1.99 x 2). The customer service is good. They forgot to tell us that extra condiments can be found on a counter near the washroom. There is plenty of indoor tables, most of them are for two people. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-230

Decided I was going to try all 3 of their banh mi along with the special beef noodle. Wow the baguettes are definitely something special. Super thin crispy shell with nice and airy bread. They can definitely sell the plain baguettes. Meat fillings were generous and tasted great. Both pork and chicken had a nice fresh grill taste with them. Beef special pho soup was also great. The soup didn't taste watered down. All in all a great addition. Place will do well if it maintains its standard. Only time will tell!

This location is a full restaurant with plenty of indoor seating. There is easy-listening music playing in the background. I ordered the following: 1. Signature Poutine with Beef ($9.99). 2. Plum Cold Brew ($3.99). I've never had the Poutine before. It was good. I've had the Plum Cold Brew before and it was like I remembered. This restaurant chain introduced the "Chinese Hamburger" in a crispy bun to Toronto back in 2021-05-23 (soft opening). Very tasty indeed! Plus, they have a wide variety of appetizers. The two owners are from China. The brand was founded in Beijing on 2014-04-08 and now has over 65 locations in Beijing. The Chinese Hamburger is called Rou Jia Mo (肉夹馍) in Chinese, which literally translates to "meat in a bun". It is the cuisine of China's Shaanxi province, which has the capital city of Xi'An (or Xian), where you find the terracotta warriors. For Chinese hamburgers, there are two types of buns: crispy and non-crispy. Most restaurants use the non-crispy buns but Bingz is the only restaurant in the GTA that uses the baked crispy buns. There is free WiFi. The restaurant wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washrooms, which is also wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-244

I got 3 sandwiches for me and my family (4 people including me). What we ordered: Mona Lisa: 8/10 For both of the sandwiches the bread was very fresh and delicious! They make them fresh for each order and you can taste the quality. The flavours in the Mona Lisa worked really well together, I loved the truffle cream and burrata. Torino: 7/10 This sandwich was also good, but the I felt like it was lacking something, especially compared to the mona lisa. The spicy eggplant just tasted like plain pickled eggplant and wasn't that spicy. I feel like both sandwiches were a bit salty due to the prosciutto, and were missing some sweet or acidic element. I added some balsamic glaze and hot honey at home which was great! The portion sizes are HUGE, the 4 of us were quite full after splitting the 3.
