Watching the chefs cook right in front of you adds a lot to the overall experience. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. Definitely a place I'd come back to, especially with friends.

My only criticism is that it was a bit on the salty side, which overshadowed the natural flavor of the beef. The restaurant itself was pleasant and offered good value for the price point. The atmosphere was comfortable, and the overall dining experience met expectations without trying to be overly fancy. Overall, it was a decent experience, and I'd consider coming back to try some of the other items on the menu.

P4 Pad Gra Prow - The best dish! We chose mild spicy, which wasn't spicy at all. P5 Khao Soi - Golden noodles, very delicious, the coconut milk flavor permeated the noodles, and the meat was quite tender. P6 Pad See Ew - It tasted like wide rice noodles, delicious! We chose beef and extra shrimp. P7 Coconut Sorbet - Coconut milk ice cream, not bad, a little too sweet, and had a little bit of coconut meat. Mango Sticky Rice - The mango sticky rice was average, nothing particularly delicious. P8 Thai Iced Tea - A little sweet and a little too sweet.

We waited 35 minutes to be seated and were told the expected time. Once we ordered, the food arrived promptly, water was refilled frequently, dirty plates were removed to make room for dishes. This restaurant is a popular spot with a well deserved reputation. All guests had a good time. Definitely would return.

I forgot to…read moretake a picture of the foie gras, but it was incredibly rich and flavorful, and the grilled pineapple helped cut through the richness.

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Food: We had our office holiday dinner here and 15 people attended. We did a set menu which had 3 courses. The first course was Labneh with bread, hummus, & beef tartare. Second course was Lamb pide & pear salad. Third course was grilled branzino, middle eastern fried chicken, black truffle rice, and thrice cooked fries. Then there was dessert which was chocolate mousse cake & baklava. Because of my many food allergies the main server for our table was very attentive & specific in asking me what I wanted as modifications. For example I got a wagyu beef pide instead of the lamb. Every dish was really delicious, presented well & quite filling. I couldn't eat all of the food. Though I tried almost everything. Service: The pacing of the dishes was quite masterful. They really paid attention to when the food was going to come out. As I mentioned above the main server was very attentive to my food allergies. I really appreciated that as some restaurants aren't as attentive. The food was served family style so everyone could take what they wanted from the serving dishes. The dishes were served in little bowls along the tables with each bowl serving about 4 people. We had asked for one long table so it was a little snug. But we made it work. Ambiance: For dinner the lighting of the space is really dim. LOL. I would have appreciated just a little bit more light. The restaurant is in an old building so to use the washroom you had to go down two flights of stairs. The dining area is small also. But it's a pretty space. As mentioned above we asked for one long table to seat 15 people. I was expecting square tables but it was a bunch of small round tables pushed together. So the tables were really crowded with food from all the dishes. But the servers made sure to take empty serving dishes away as soon as possible. The music was a little loud for me so I had to yell to be heard. The place was packed though. Everyone at our table enjoyed the food, the service & atmosphere. The restaurant is close to Roy Thompson Hall & the other theatres nearby so it's a convenient location as well. It's too bad this place is only open for dinner. I would have loved to see how they would operate a lunch time service. In any case, Byblos was amazing. I would come back here again to try other dishes! Note: Some of my pics of the main dishes didn't turn out so it's mostly desserts that are pictures

Pastable is a food stall focusing on bowls of fusion pasta. The main components are one pasta, one…read moreprotein, one sauce, and three toppings. Everything is 100% halal. This is their second location, in a build with 3 other food vendors. It is mostly a takeout restaurant. There is a small counter where you could stand and eat. There are six set combinations. Or you can build your own pasta (BYOP) combo. On the soft-opening day (2025-01-20), they were offering an opening special of Mac N Cheese with BBQ Chicken sample and a drink for only $6.99. I ordered the following: 1. BYOP: Garlic Shrimp, penne, rose sauce, broccoli, black olives, mushrooms. It automatically comes with sliced green peppers and chopped parsley. 2. Opening Special ($6.99) x 2. For the BYOP, they didn't warn me it was medium spicy. I can handle it with a cold drink! The shrimp and penne were perfectly cooked. I loved the rose sauce. My choices of broccoli,  black olives, and mushrooms worked well together and with the base. The Opening Special was delicious; the Mac n Cheese part and BBQ Chicken were really good! Unfortunately, the BBQ was mildly spicy, and my son didn't like it; more for me! The customer service was good. It took them a long time to prepare the food (there were many orders prior to mine). But it was opening day, so hopefully, they will speed up their cooking. There is no free WiFi. The food stall is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-014

The server was really sweet and very earnest in making sure I would be happy with my meal! I had their beef noodles with pickled cabbage. WOW, it was epic. Huge bowl and very delicious.

It looks like they are set up to have a nightclub after hours with the massive stacks of speakers having from the ceiling. The staff here was very friendly, and the menu was unique and intriguing. The deluxe sashimi | $48 (salmon, tuna, otoro, yellowtail, scallop, unagi) was fresh and delicious. The Sato Maki | $29 (yellowtail, salmon tartare, red pepper, chotto soy) roll, was also very enjoyable, the red pepper gave it a highly unique flavor. The star of the show for me was the Tentaculos De Pulpo | $36 (octopus, spicy yuzu, purple potato puree) was amazing. I could eat that every day, in fact it may be the best tasting octopus that i have ever had, and I have had quite a bit. While it is pricy for what it is, it was all excellent!

We came for the Jungle Brunch:…read more I do recommend reservations as the afternoon went, it got busy. They do offer free coat check upon entry. Inside, it's large, high ceilings, colourful area, the bathroom is located upstairs & one downstairs (accessibility) the upstairs one is all dark with lights We tried the jungle brunch fixed menu and the vegetarian several course menu. They do advise food will come as it's made so don't except to eat all at once. For the fixed menu, it came with miso soup, we got the shishito peppers, tako yaki (this was really good, wasn't expecting the inside filling to be so flavourful), chicken and waffles, steak and eggs. Everything was tasty! The dessert however was the highlight, taro ice cream was really good, the yuzu sorbet was very refreshing. Onto the vegetarian menu, the lychee ceviche was something we have never tasted before, this was sparingly really delicious. The Nasu miso (eggplant with apricot) was also a pairing we didn't expect to be as tasty as it was. Experience: During the duration of the brunch, hands on exotic was present with birds. He did an incredible job walking around introducing the birds, allowing everyone to take photos. There were also dancers coming along as well as girls dressed in animal costumes. The service was alright, some food was forgotten and brought when we are asking for dessert. Several staff were walking by cleaning up the tables. The manager also came by to tell us about their other dinning options for another time. Overall, this was definitely a different take to brunch which we did enjoy.
