Low expectations having been to many dim sum places including Lai Wah Heen in Toronto (when it was still open) Pleasant surprise!!! Very original dim sum - large pieces!!! Between $3 to $4.50 a piece. You only need about four pieces and a few other sides to be full. Dim sum made fresh in the morning. Cool interior with a jungle/forest motif with monkeys and snakes all over the place. Nice terrace overlooking the boardwalk and harbour front that would be amazing in the Summer. Will definitely come back to try a formal lunch or dinner in the future.

Coming here, I came with my roommates and my boyfriend. We only decided to come here because of the…read more5$ off coupon that was sent to us. First off, the place is beautifully decorated. The place is spacious, and the buffet looked super appetising. We were asked to sit anywhere, so we sat near the window. Getting our food, we chose a lot of the seafood, salad, tried some of the different styles foods, and of course- the Chinese part of the buffet. The shrimp in shell were not de-veined, and the tempura shrimp tasted like it was paste. The crab was cooked well, and the fish in batter was cooked nicely. The fruit and ice cream were the saving grace, as they had the regular jellos, cookies, and small sweets. They didn't have seafood sauve, only replaced with spicy Mayo and some weird sweet chili sauce. The choices with the Chinese foods were cooked amazingly, and the noodles weren't soggy or super dry. The price was 20$ a person, and even with the 5$ coupon, came to 18 and change. Not really the price range I would expect from a smaller buffet area. View was gorgeous, and the staff were prompt and courteous. I will definitely be going back.

Looking for non-pub fare, we decided to take a chance on Toridori which is located a stone's throw…read moreaway from the waterfront. We were greeted warmly by Leslie who gave us "front-view" seats to the open kitchen. What a treat to see dish-after-dish of sumptuous looking food. We were assisted by Opal (appropriately named because she was a gem!) who was friendly, patient and knowledgeable about the menu. We decided to share two dishes. The pound of red Thai curry mussels was sooo good. It was served with 5 pieces of toasted bread for dipping into the mildly spicy curry soup/sauce. The generous Hanoi bun cha platter was a combination of rice noodles, tender, perfectly seasoned thin pork slices, 4 pork patties, and 4 pieces of spring rolls. It came with a basket of lettuce, cilantro and that delicious Vietnamese dipping sauce that was made even tastier by what I think were cloves of pickled ginger. Throughout the meal, Opal came by just the right number of times to check if we were satisfied or needed something. We loved our experience here and highly suggest you try it out. You'll be very happy.

Located amongst the swath of restaurants at the Queen's Marque, the intriguing pan-Asian offerings…read moreat Tori Dori (including a surprising handful of gluten-free dishes) caught my eye for a pre-concert dinner with friends. It's a moderately-sized space, certainly smaller than many of its Freehand Hospitality peers at Queens Marque, but the closer, almost communal seating allows for a good number of people to dine here. The decor is quite reserved, with the ceiling actually being the show piece, as the layers of boards giving a scaled effect and a gradient of charring lending a really cool (hot?) look to the space. The menu is comprised of fancied-up twists on familiar cuisines from across East Asia, with dishes giving nods or deeply tied to countries like Korea, Philippines, Vietnam, and China to just name a few. Some of their smaller dishes were catching my eye, so I ordered the chicken and black garlic dumplings, and the mango salad, while my wife got the pho with spent hen broth. Ever since I first tried one, I've been a big fan of mango salads. The mix of flavours, colours and textures is top tier, and all in one, easily-chopsticked salad! Tori Dori's doesn't stray far from the template, with julienned mango, carrot and red onion that got a mix of heat, freshness, and savoury sweetness from chilis, mint, cilantro and a tamarind sauce. Anything with black garlic in it is bound to get me to order it, and while that unique preparation of garlic didn't feature as prominently on my taste buds as I would have liked, it did lend to a more savoury depth than chicken dumplings usually have. The tender and pleasantly toothsome wrappers held up well to their soy and vinegar dressing. The pho had a slightly more subtle broth than the beef ones that tend to be more common, but it was just as aromatic and satisfying as a good pho should be. Tender slices of chicken breast accompanied the typical pho accoutrements. The understated Tori Dori avoids the Instagram-bait vibe of some of its siblings, and delivers flavourful East Asian dishes with splashes of contemporary flair.

All fine, flavours were good, but the dish was heavy on the salad and pretty light on the noodles. The shrimp were good, but the cut up roll was kind of ordinary. At $15 a pop it's probably rather on the high side, but given its location that's to be expected.

The tapioca pearls were soft and chewy and didn't get all hard because of the coldness of the drink (which sometimes happens at some places). The smoothies are dairy-free, so it wasn't as creamy, but it was blended smooth and tasted good (although a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt in it would have made it better, lol). Service was friendly and efficient. I was tempted by their lobster roll special for $8, maybe next time :) Their Banh Mi looked good too.

Cool Atmosphere, Great Drinks - Just Didn't Hit the Mark for Us This Time…read more I'm giving Sea Smoke a 2 out of 5, but to be fair, we totally see the appeal of this spot and imagine we would've enjoyed it more if we'd been able to explore more of the menu. The patio is beautiful, with cozy fire pits right by the water--such a great vibe for an evening out. The drink menu is solid, too. I really enjoyed my craft beer, and my wife was happy with her cocktail--both were well made and refreshing. We didn't go all in on a full meal, but we did try one of their more unique appetizers--the salmon cigar. It sounded creative and caught our attention, so we gave it a shot. Unfortunately, it just wasn't our thing. My wife liked it a bit more than I did, but even she wasn't fully sold on it. That said, props to the kitchen for taking risks and trying something different--you can tell there's thought and ambition behind the menu. All in all, we didn't love our experience, but we still respect what Sea Smoke is doing, and would love to come back someday and give the full dinner a proper try when our budget allows it!

I register yelp in order to give a most negative review to this restaurant. I ordered a meal which…read moreprice showed on the menu was $25, and I was informed that the sauce was included. However when I was going to pay my bill, the cashier charged me $50 and a $1.49 sauce fee. The reason was that the this kind of meal must be ordered for two people and once it was ordered by one people, double price was charged. Neither signs of this regulation could be found on the page of this meal nor I was informed by the waitress. I could say this restaurant lied to me because I was told by the waitress that the sauce fee was included but still I was charged. For a moment I wanted to call the police, but since this is the New Year's Eve and I don't want my mood ruined by quarrel. I will never go to this restaurant again and I suggest readers of this review please do pay more attention on the price of this restaurant. Happy new year! 我在该餐厅点了一个火锅，价格显示25加币，同时服务员告诉我小料费已经加在火锅价格里。结帐时收我2倍费用以及小料费。我说第一，这个锅价格显示就是25，我怎么知道一定要两人起点；第二，你们说菜单有，结果那一页菜单根本没有，菜单最后倒是有蚂蚁般的字提示，但内容是50加币/2人，我怎么知道这个是强制的，你们又没告诉我；第三，点菜时你们告诉我小料套餐里包括了，结帐告诉我没包。那一瞬间我是真想报警，但考虑今天是跨年夜，我不想和你们撕逼，也不想跨年跟警察一起过。总之大家去这个店一定小心。祝大家新年快乐。
