Fallen Feather is one of those spots where the vibe hits before the food even lands. Dark, moody,…read moreintimate. It feels like a hidden date night spot but still has a lively energy. The menu leans Korean fusion and nothing feels forced or overdone. I tried them during Winterlicious and it was such a good intro to what they do. Standouts for me: Braised short rib was unreal. Super tender, rich, and easily the best dish of the night K Pasta was so unique. Packed with flavour and not something you come across often Kalbi striploin burger was juicy, flavourful, and done right Cocktails were strong and easy to sip. They disappeared way too fast, which says a lot. Overall, great execution, a menu that stands out, and a space that feels sexy but still cozy. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

For $55 per person, getting seafood, steak, dessert, and cocktails felt like a very good value…read more The mul hoe was one of the prettiest dishes on the table. The tuna and salmon tasted very fresh, and the sweet-spicy Korean-style sauce made the whole dish feel bright, refreshing, and really appetizing. I also loved the potato dumplings.. crisp on the outside, but soft and pleasantly chewy inside, with a very smooth texture. The arugula salad was a great complement and added a nice fresh balance to the meal. The real standout for me, though, was the kalbi. It was incredibly tender and full of rich flavor. It almost melted in the mouth, with that satisfying buttery, savory richness that meat lovers would definitely appreciate. The cocktails were also fun and well done. I tried a few, and all of them were enjoyable. Some even had a smoky presentation, which made the experience feel a little more special. The service was another strong point. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the dinner feel smooth from start to finish. Everything came out at a comfortable pace, and the overall hospitality really added to the experience. As for the ambience, it felt stylish, intimate, and a little moody in a good way. The lighting and presentation gave the dinner a polished feel, but it was still relaxed enough to enjoy comfortably. It's the kind of place that works well for a casual date night, drinks with friends, or simply a nice evening out.

Probably 20% higher than what I personally think the pricing should be. Nevertheless, if I'm in the area I'll be there.

We went for a February meal which ended up being a Chinese New Year fusion celebration…read more The theme and playfulness of the menu was fun and I really enjoyed it- especially the final dessert. Highlights were: the canapés of auspicious desserts, mala broth fish and lobster noodles. There were a few misses- the jellyfish being so overpowered by the horseradish, the Dan tat and the rice dish being so overly salty, and just overall execution- not what I expected at a Michelin star restaurant. Overall, everything felt cold in terms of atmosphere. I think it was creative and I'm happy to have tried it, but it's not a place I'd jump go back to. Too many misses and unmemorable moments, in a city where we are always looking for a connection.

Over last summer I saw Akin had dim sum cooking classes taught by the master chef Eric Chong. I…read moreknew I had to go! Been a huge fan and was excited to visit his second restaurant Akin. We were taught how to make har gow and siu mai. I would say mine turned out looking decent but the taste was amazing! Everyone in the class took their own made dumplings home to steam. Instead we got to try the restaurants version (there was complementary dinner as part of the class). This was the best fine dining dim sum we had ever had. The flavour of every dish was danced on our taste buds. I still think of the crab roe fried rice dish. I never like fried rice till trying that dish. It was THAT good. Looking forward to coming back for the tasting menu!!

The hours are a little odd sometimes (opened at 4pm on a Wednesday?). So just be mindful of that when you're visiting.

Don't really understand the hype for this spot, it was ok at most…read more Came in late Saturday afternoon and it was packed. Got some seats at the bar and placed our orders. The ambiance was nice, typical for a modern japanese/korean restaurant. It took ages for the food to come out, and when it did it was just okay. The fried shrimp dumplings were plain and felt frozen. The curry udon was also meh, didn't have the most flavourful sauce and the chicken that came with it was juicy but tiny. In sum, I would likely not come back again, there are many other places in the city serving similar food that is better in terms of flavour and value.

Fantastic experience here at Lee at the Waterworks during Summerlicious 2025!…read moreThe first impression at this, the last day of 'Licious with the place oozing with a well-dressed crowd ready to have a party in the mouth that evening in July, was that the place was vibing so much it almost took down the building. Every table was occupied when I arrived, and I was happy to chill out by the bar and look over the cocktail menu. Cool that they had a drink called Shanghai 75 since my friend was from there, bonus! The menu selections were expertly picked, of course, and gave a good sense of the theme of this Asian fusion food and how the chef thinks. Take a look at my pictures and set your sights on another 'Licious coming up for one of these fun events. Think of 'Licious as much more bold and light hearted way to enjoy some of Toronto's finest restaurants and see how well they work under pressure, which make these so popular and so much fun!

We tried their top chef curry roasted chicken and I can see why they won top chef! Meat is tender, skin is crispy and the curry! Goes real well with the chicken! Coconut rice cake was pretty good too! It's not like korean rice cake, tasted more like fa gao, giving it a nice texture. Char siu bbq duck with Peking garnish was pretty good too. I love how the breast meat has a nice balance of meat to skin, so its not too oily and it makes the meat tender too. Peking wrap was kinda cold, so that threw me off alittle. But overall its still amazing! Shrimp was juicy and tender, but nothing too wow about it. But good quality! The chef even came out to greet us and have a quick chat with us! That was a nice touch, service and ambiance is nice too!! Would totally come back for it again!

I got the pear ginger cocktail which was refreshing and pretty good size - lasted throughout our meal. We got 4 appetizers for two of us to share: sushi tacos, fried chicken, lobster shumai and beef bao. Sushi tacos were my favorite for sure. I love ahi tuna and the texture and spice were perfection. The flavor of the KFC Fried chicken was really tasty as well. We got a little messy and had to wash our hands several times, but overall great experience. Service was excellent. Ambiance was nice. We'll definitely be back to try more things.

It's not often that we find East Asian food in this area, so we had high hopes considering the reviews. Although our food tasted and looked great, the prices seemed a bit too high for the portion size and ingredients. I could see these prices at a fine dining establishment, but the ambiance felt more of a typical local bar/restaurant than fine dining. Perhaps we're too used to the plethora of East Asian food options in the GTA. I will say that the use of Cumbrae's meat stood out in the poutine (super tender!), as well as the rich broth in the shumai.

This restaurant was recommended to us from Naomi at Strewn Winery…read more We asked if there was a dress code as we were underdressed due to the fact we had just spent the day packing for our camping trip and driving to Canada. She assured us not to worry as the owners are very kind and it was a place you could dress up but accept casual wear as well. So off we went. Pulling in we saw it was a restaurant attached to the Orchid Hotel. And old but beautiful looking home converted to a hotel/restaurant. Once inside I saw white linen table cloths with nice stem ware and crisp white napkins and silverware. I looked at my sister and said I think we are underdressed lol. It was a Thursday around 5 pm, no reservation but it wasn't super busy yet so we were immediately seated. The host was kind, and put two tables together for our party of 5. The menu was simple which I liked. We ordered appetizers to start, the spring rolls and the crab cakes. I apologize for not taking pictures, I was tired and forgot so I'll just say they were delicious. Sidenote: I don't like seafood but one taste of the crab cake and I could have eaten both cakes myself! So very good! For the main course I ordered the Thai chicken coconut curry which had a side of rice. My hubby ordered the salmon with rice and vegetables. From the first bite we both let out yummy noises. We each took a bite of each other's food and I can say the salmon was absolutely delicious as was my curry dish. The portion sizes were great. We were both so full. My brother in law got the lamb-it looked like it was cooked perfectly and he said it was delicious. My sister got the fish and chips-it came with a couple different sauces but all she wanted was tartar sauce and ketchup. She didn't ask if they had any because she didn't want to offend the chef lol. My niece got a beautiful big salad and enjoyed it but neither enjoyed their pics as much as us other 3 did lol. The host was engaging, he explained that it's a family run business for the last 37 yrs and the last 15 years he and his brother and mother have been running it alone. His mom runs the hotel and he and his brother run the restaurant. I recommend eating here if you're ever in the area.

I think it is family run as the mom was in and out of the kitchen and the waiter look related. The service was great, food was plentiful and unique, but make a reservation or you'll be sorry!

Went here with a few friends. We ordered a couple of drinks (ube yakult, mango yakult - ube yakult…read moredidnt taste much like ube). We also ordered a snack box. The siomai and hotdog were good. The kikiam and fishball were kinda dry. Kwekkwek was good. Turon was delicious! Probably the best thing there. The donuts were also good but a little too sweet for us. Staff were very nice. One thing to note is if you need the washroom, you need to tell the staff as you will need to step out of the restaurant and walk around to the back where staff will let you in. Weird design. Speaking of design, I think the space is cute but could be optimized. Not a big deal if its not busy.

I drove by this place and it's super cute they had a little stand outside where they were selling…read moretheir seasonal drinks and then they had all the other stuff inside they actually sell food I saw crawfuls and some brunch items They had some really interesting flavored lattes as well as matcha options and ube. I was a little overwhelmed but I decided to try the berry biscoff latte and it was really a good I was surprised because I've never had fruit with coffee if that makes sense and you still can taste the bisc off but it has like this sweetness to it which is berries and it reminded me of cereal milk if that makes any sense. While I was there there was a lot of people coming in and out of the restaurant there was families who were sitting down and dining and then there was a lot of foot traffic who just walked by and see the restaurant who was ordering as well. I definitely would love to come back and try one of their matcha options but the drink that I did have the berry biscoff latte I would give it a 9 out of 10 The staff was also really nice and that they walked me through the drink menu they asked me what types of drinks I preferred and then they gave their recommendation as well.
