A nice trendy restaurant on ossington serving up a some Malaysian flavours. We came here in a cold winter evening with another couple and the food was great! It's definitely worth trying for something different! The wait staff were attentive and quick to offer suggestions for food and drinks. We had the scallop crudo, beef rendang, tacos, roti and curry, salad, cauliflower, and sago sago for dessert. The scallop and the roti and curry were the most memorable but everything was great! It's a bit on the pricier side, but that's Ossington! read more

Came here for date night and got a bunch of dishes to share. They do also have a tasting menu that looked popular amongst diners. We got the dhal and roti and black pepper jumbo shrimp to start. The dhal was very mild and most of our food seemed to be slightly under salted, but that wasn't quite an issue. The roti was so soft and buttery. The shrimp was very tasty but not worth $28 for 4 tiny shrimp. The prosperity slaw was great and so refreshing for Toronto summers. The rendang braised beef coconut curry was good, but there wasn't enough gravy and it also tasted heavily under salted. We also got a cocktail and glass of wine, which were both great. We loved the wine so much we might go buy some at the LCBO, which is basically the same price as a glass. But we were glad to have tried it. To end the meal we got the sago sago, which was probably my favorite dish there. It was great overall, but not a place I'd intentionally choose to go back to anytime soon. The service was also great and the staff were friendly and very efficient. read more

I love this place! I came here for the first time in 2023, on a work trip to Toronto from the US. Had some amazing food, and the prosperity salad that I still dream about. I've been to Toronto 3 times since and always make it a point to come here. The service is amazing, and it's a very cute place as well. read more

Great spot for some Malaysian food. We tried the scallop crudo, slaw and the flat noodle dish. Scallop crudo was okay in my opinion, I felt the roasted garlic overpowered the flavours. The slaw was really good with the 20 ingredients and the dressing goes well together. The flat noodle dish was good as well, I have a shrimp allergy and the chef was able to cook the shrimp after. Appreciate that! Service and our waiter were great! Accommodated our requests and when we were there there was a group that was really loud and there was time it was hard to hear my partner. read more

Had dinner with some friends here on a Sunday, the restaurant was spacious and we were able to get a table for 4 without reservation. The restaurant was clean with friendly staff. We ordered the: Prosperity tossed slaw - $24 - this was a little pricy for the amount of slaw given but I thought it was really unique and delicious (8/10) Dhal & roti - $14 - simple but delicious, the curry wasn't very spicy and the roti was fresh and delicious (8/10) Satay Babi - $27 - I was really surprised with this dish, the peanut sauce was delicious and the pork was really tender and soft (9/10) Char Kway Teow - $26 - this rice noodle dish was pretty tasty, with good flavour, my only complaint was that it felt pretty small (7/10) Rendang Beef - $38 - the beef was tender and soft, I found the sauce to be just a little too salty but went well with the rice and the delicious turmeric cabbage (7/10) Overall I really enjoyed dinner at Soos and I feel like there's not too many Malaysian restaurants in Toronto, I definitely recommend! read more

Honestly didn't feel like there was a single miss tonight. The chicken tacos were substantial and had a nice curry flavouring, umami bomb. The kar puff was perfectly crispy and the filling was delicious. The slaw was sweet and sour and salty. The pork chop really impressed with its size, cooked perfectly and the sauce just paired so well. The char kway teow was tasty, with a smoky flavourful, maybe the least impressive of the night but still delicious. We got the sago and tiramisu to celebrate a birthday. The sago has a wonderful syrup. The tiramisu was huge, rich and the cocoa nibs helped cut through the richness by adding that bitter bite. read more

Finally tried Soos and it did not disappoint! Cozy modern Malaysian spot on Ossington with a great vibe. Cocktails were creative and well-priced, and the food was both beautiful and delicious. Standouts: the Char Kway Teow (smoky, savory, perfectly wok-charred) and the Rendang Beef. Presentation was stunning too - the mango sticky rice looked too pretty to eat. What we ordered: Smoked Juniper ‍ Sarawak Sour Rendang Beef Char Kway Teow They also offer a "Feed Me" tasting menu I'll be back to try. Highly recommend for date night or if you want to explore Malaysian food in Toronto! read more

Came here on last Friday as my friends wanted to treat me for my birthday and was promptly greeted by the friendly staffs. We came as a group of 5, and they were quite accommodating in serving the dishes so it feeds 5. Kapitan Chicken Tacos 3.5/5 Great juicy chicken loaded on top of a taco shell. It was nothing "wow"ing, but it was good. Dhal & Roti 3/5 I wish they had roti on the menu for Rendang! We ended up saving most of it for the Rendang which went REALLY well together. The Dhal was good, but again, nothing special. The portion did seem a bit low to share 5 rotis as well. Rempah Fried Mushroom 5/5 One of the best dishes from Soos. The combination of this hot, sweet, and umami filled dish was amazing. I loved the combination of everything and when I go back, I am definitely having this again. Sambal Chili 3.5/5 We ordered a side of Sambal Chili and I considered getting the jar but it tasted more like garlic chili oil than anything. It had a pretty good kick to it, but it wasn't really a sauce. Rendang Braised Short Rib 3.75/5 The Rendang was quite tasty, and the meat was quite soft. It just did not hit the spot for me as much as I thought it would. Char Kway Teow 5/5 This was an amazing dish. Added some Sambal Chili for some extra kick, and it tasted even better. Star of the night along with the mushrooms. Kopi Tarik Tiramisu 3/5 The portion was pretty big! I had pretty high expectations, but I would probably not order it again. I think I like my tiramisu a bit more soaked in coffee, and I found this to have a lot of cream that felt quite redundant towards the end. Overall, the service was solid and the food was pretty good as well. Would love to come back again now that I know some of the dishes that I really like! read more

We visited Soos on a weekend night for a birthday celebration. It so happened to be Ossfest, so there was an insane crowd outside, and the door was opened, so it was extremely loud. This made it hard to have any conversation inside the restaurant, but I can tell that if there was no festival, the ambiance would have been fantastic as the interior had a cozy and modern feel to it. We ordered a combination of small plates and large plates in order to try everything. This is what we had: 1. Dhal & Roti - this was fantastic! The roti was delicate yet had a nice crisp to it and was the perfect vehicle for the dhal. I would definitely get this again. It was also a hit for the group. 2. Kapitan Chicken Tacos - also another fan favourite. The lemongrass chicken was sooo good. My only complaint is that it's way too small, give me more! 3. Sarawak Pepper Prawns - juicy prawns with pineapple. A tad bit heavy on the pepper. 4. Satay Babi - another great dish! The cucumber was refreshing. 5. Rendang Braised Short Rib - the short rib was good, but the curry tasted very light. Not sure if this is how it is in Malaysian cuisine, but we all expected the curry to pop a bit more. 6. Cod in Opor - cod was great, but same with the short rib, the broth didn't really pack a punch and tasted a bit bland 7. Char Kway Teow - one of the best dishes of the night! The flavors were all there and something I would for sure order again. 8. Pisang Goreng - Fried banana goodness! It tasted amazing with the ice cream. A must try dessert. 9. Sago Sago - the presentation was absolutely gorgeous, and it was delicious. No complaints. Overall, there are a lot more hits than misses, but the prices are quite high for the portion sizes. If you're thinking of sharing it family style, one large plate is probably good for 2 to 3 people if you'll be ordering multiple dishes. I'm glad I got to try Soos after hearing great things about it. read more

Always a great time at Soos As a Malaysian with parents from Penang, the Char Koay Teow hits the spot I've tried this dish everywhere else that serves it but this hits the closest to what I had back home. Love coming here for special occasions, the restaurant has a fancy upscale vibe to it. I cannot wait for their patio if/when they'll have it this year.

Soos is one of my all-time favourite restaurants in Toronto - and in a city full of great food, that is a statement in itself. The food is authentic Malaysian, and the service is top-notch. We recently hosted a birthday dinner in their private room, and the night was delightful. From booking through to the night, the experience was amazing. The staff were so attentive and catered to allergies and food preferences seamlessly. Our needs were anticipated without us having to ask for anything; it was a fabulous night! The feed me tasting menu is an absolute must - every dish is delicious - highlights, the roti and Dahl, the rending and the laksa. If you have not been yet get there this restaurant does not disappoint on any level! read more

My friend recommended to come here for dinner. He literally said "you need to work down Ossington and eat everything down the street". I took his advice and started booking them all. Soos being one of the spots that I booked on this trip and I am gonna review it. I came in here blind not knowing what to order, and just thought of just getting a tasting menu with my friends. When I entered the restaurant, I love the vibe already. The atmosphere was just stellar with busy people just wandering around, and the host literally gave us a good strong welcome and a smile to the restaurant. We were then seated to the back in this tiny little room and a nice table that could seat all of me and my friends comfortably. When we sat down the waitress arrived and she was nice and friendly. She knew the menu quite well as I had some questions about allergies since my friend was allergic to some things. And she knew exactly how to handle the situation so well. She suggested that we get some drinks to start and I ordered a Guava Colada. Guava Colada- This was delicious. The guava juice really mixes so well with the coconut rum. I enjoyed this a lot. It didn't feel like I was drinking alcohol at all. Which can be dangerous, the presentations was a little lack luster but overall a very good drink. 8/10 Prosperity Tossed Slaw- This was the show of the night. This slaw like salad like dish was amazing. The texture of the salad was biggest part of the show. The first crunch, literally crunch, was a good bite of the papaya with the taro root and the lotus chips. The sauce they used was a perfect Asian vinaigrette, and the fresh lime juices just searing right into the papaya was just astoundingly iconic. Would recommend just come for the slaw. 10/10 Satay Babi- this was a beautiful steak laid upon a huge amount of satay sauce. This was a beautiful take on the traditional street food of satay. I enjoyed how I can eat this with utensils and savor every bite of this dish. The sauce of satay was warm and the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. It was delicious. This is a must order plate when you are here at Soos. 9.5/10 Cod in Opor- a nice stew, and I loved the opor. It was delicious, but we ordered a bowl of rice to kinda compliment the opor. It was perfectly balanced in salt levels and it was delicious. But the additional carbohydrates added a different delicious flavour with the fish. It really made the dish pop more with rice. 7/10 Rendang Braised short rib- wow this was a huge surprise for me. I loved the slightly charred cabbage as this was served with some rice at the same time. The sauce of the braised short rib was perfect. The meat fell right off the bones as you ate the dish and the deliciousness of the rib was cooked to perfection. Really did enjoy this dish a lot. I wished there was more meat and more cabbage to enjoy though. The cabbage was so much fun to eat. 9/10 Char Kway Teow- like any pan fried rice noodles with meat this was quite well done. I love how savoury the sauce they use and on top of that, it was perfectly steaming hot when it arrived at the table. The kitchen surely knows how to cook a perfectly plate of this. And not just that, the meat was sliced at a good size which you don't need to work that hard to chew on the meat. Loved that. This is an order again type of plate. 9/10 If I was to visit Toronto again, this is a must eat again type of place. And on top of that, I will be bringing different friends and maybe try out their brunch menu! Would love to just bring enough friends to take over that large table at the back and have a good large family dinner! read more

Soos - a restaurant with candles lit up in the dark - Malaysian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Amazing food and service! The prices are expected for a downtown restaurant and the absolute care to each detail that the restaurant brings to these authentic Malaysian dishes. We started the Scrumptious cakes (Chwee Kueh), which was my favorite dish of the night. Four white rice cakes are topped with salted turnip & sambal chili. The rice cakes are impossibly soft but is sharply balanced by the intense flavor and crunch of the fried turnips. My partner hasn't had this dish in over 20 years, so it was a definite hit around the table. The Murtabak are two rotis sandwiching spiced potato, chickpea, onion, and egg, served with a delicate light curry. I appreciate that the curry was on the lighter side as it did not compete with the delicate flavors of the Murtabak. The Char Kway Teow and the Banana leaf fish (Ikan Bakar) were the main dishes. The Char Kway Teow had the much sought after 'wok air' taste which brought a delicate char to the noodles. Four plump tiger prawns topped the dish and was promptly gobbled up. The fish was great also, both in it's crispy skin and soft moist meat. I really liked the sour notes of the tamarind okra, which paired so well with the fish and rice. We could have ordered another round of everything, but decided to end with the Pork belly pancakes. The braised soft pork belly basically melts the moment you eat it. Thankfully instead of the usual soft bun that this dish comes with, the chef has made the innovative move to serve it on a thin crisp taro pancake. The crunch balances out the soft meat so well! We ended the night with a sweet note of the Pisang Goreng, two fried bananas with a scoop of lovely icecream. Heads up that some of the dishes pictured on Yelp are not available during this time (Laksa, Sago, Nasi Lemak) . Partially because key ingredients are not available for import and partially because the chef refuses to compromise on quality. Just means that we will be back when they are available again. read more

This is not your average Asian place with large portions and/or low prices, but the food is good. They have the best char kway teow (Malaysian fried broad rice noodles) of the 13 I've had in the GTA. Also the most expensive, but you're paying for quality. Great smoky wok flavour, 4 large shrimp, lots of egg & authentic ingredients (including the chives which many places leave out). This would be rated good quality even in Malaysia. The murtabak was not murtabak (a stuffed pancake) but was instead 2 roti with meat & potato curry inside, served with a curry dip/drizzle. The roti were flaky & the meat & potato curry pretty tasty. There was some tartar sauce on top which was a bit weird but tasted OK. Pisang goreng (fried banana) was very good - sweet with a perfect soft banana texture & a light & crispy batter. The ice cream it was served with was decent. Had their Chinese New Year set earlier in the year. It wasn't as good (with the exception of the shrimp) but the food doesn't survive takeout well. read more

I make reservations through Resy, which I love to do, and it's usually relatively easy to cancel and reschedule reservations. Yesterday I worked late on a film set and didn't see the texts coming from the restaurant through the automatic Resy number. They apparently texted me several times in between automated confirmations and scheduling through that number, but I never received a call or email to try to verify. Text is not a formal method of communication. When I asked if I could reschedule next week to avoid the cancellation fee for missing the reservation, they said I could. Then, I explained the misunderstanding, they got upset and decided to charge me. This is the opposite of hospitality. read more

Very lovely ambiance - but come early (around 6) because it gets exceptionally loud later in the evening. Was my first time here, easy to find. The food was superb - loved the combination of flavors, textures. We did a tasting menu for our group of 6, at a prefix price of $60, and glad that we did because it gave us a chance to try many things. The salad at the end with lotus was probably my favorite dish. However, exceptionally disappointed with the service. I have gluten restrictions which I notified them about. Firstly- they were very accommodating. One of the dishes came with paratha - which looked so flavorful and tempting- and I originally didn't get one (got tiny cup of plain rice instead). I asked them to switch it to paratha because I wanted to try a small piece, which they did but then charged me for it at the end. Why nickel and dime your customer when we are already paying a big price tag for the menu and I never received one in the first place? The service itself was attentive. However, at the end, a gentleman came to our table and with a very firm rude tone told us that the other party is here and we must leave. We were a quiet, well behaved group. I totally understand they need to turn tables for next customer - but, a) there is a more polite way to deliver that message (we felt kicked out and unwelcome!) and b) it's great to set that expectation early on (eg you only have your table for X minutes). Really wish those few instances didn't take away from the delicious food itself! read more

Soos is delicious, unique, and fun. I had the pleasure of trying several dishes and my favourites were the noodles (think: Malaysian pad Thai) and pork belly. The only item I tried that I'd recommend passing on is their slaw - what seemed to be a take on Lee's signature Singaporean slaw was forgettable. Thankfully everything else was good, though! read more

The curry accompanying Soos roti ($9) uses a base of dhal (a yellow lentil curry) and tops it with crispy fried curry leaf for some extra zing. But, what makes this starter incredible is the hot, fluffy and flakey roti that arrives with it. The lovely toasted airiness makes it so good I could eat it plain and these are truthfully the best roti I've ever had. If you're sharing, one is not enough... get an extra roti for $2. Meanwhile, the pork belly pancakes ($13) is so rich and decadent that an order can even be shared amongst four people. A thick slab of pork belly, covered in a thick sticky sweet and vinegary soy, is well rendered so the layers of lard aren't too dense. Yet, it doesn't just melt-in-your-mouth either - as you bite into it there's still a chewiness that allows you to savour the flavours. The crispy taro root pancake the pork belly sits on is fairly delicate, the root vegetable made into a batter rather than the slivers used in "bird's nest" type dishes. So while the pancake is crispy, there's still a soft chewiness in the centre. Although enjoyable, the dish could really use something fresh on the side, the small bit of scallions on top isn't enough. Something like the prosperity tossed slaw ($16) could work. I don't generally love salad, but their slaw has some serious flavours and textures. Made with over 20 ingredients there's refreshing, crunchy, savoury, sweet, and spicy elements all melded into one. There's also a restraint to their yuzu plum dressing, which adds acidity but doesn't render the slaw too tangy. Instead, it leaves a savoury taste to the salad. read more

OVERALL - My favorite Malaysian restaurant in the GTA. I was born and raised in Malaysia and I can vouch for how close the flavours of the dishes are to what you'd get back home. I've recommended this place to almost all of my friends. FOOD - Appetizers: The Dhal & Roti is really well made with a very light dhal curry and I suggest trying to Prosperity Tossed Slaw for a unique take on a slaw that's very refreshing. Entree: My favorite is the Char Kuay Teow - it has a really authentic smoky/charred undertone that I haven't found in any other Malaysian with a chilli sauce that pairs really well with the noodles. The Beef Rendang is a close second and is very flavorful, packed with spices and curry leaves that gave it a rich and aromatic taste. SERVICE - Top notch! They always explain how each dish was made and check in the right amount to make sure you have what you need and your water is filled. Book reservations well in advance. read more

Not going to lie, this place was a bit pricey for someone like me who was just looking to fix a Malaysian food craving instead of going for drinks. If you're looking for drinks though, this would be the perfect place to grab some while enjoying some Malaysian fanfare. $23 for a proper char keow teow is a bit steep for me though! The actual food was great - juicy chunky shrimp with the proper "wok hei" that's signature of authentic Malaysian and Singaporean hawker centres. Maybe it's the fact that I've paid a quarter of what I paid here back in Singapore that's making the stingier side of me grumpy. Otherwise, excellent service and food 4 stars for the food, 3 stars for the value. read more

I've been to a few restaurants which fall into the concept of trendy, tapas, Asian-fusion cuisine. They're fairly good, although I'm usually not too keen to go back because I find the dishes are overwhelmed with flavours (e.g. overly sauced), too expensive and overall seem more focused on being Instagramable than having a good dinning experience. This is not the case with Soos. I was so impressed with all the dishes, the reasonable price and high-level of service at this restaurant, I really hope to have an opportunity to go back. We had the tasting menu which is $45 per person. You can request a few dishes or let them decide for you. We had 10 dishes in total, which provided a great variety. Everything was well-prepared, fresh and flavourful, while still being nuanced. You never felt like you were eating the same dish twice (there was fried cauliflower, a seafood curry, a wrap and a salad to name a few). The attention to details were also appreciated. Good variety of beverages, music wasn't too loud and they refilled our water glasses without any prompting. It is a very popular restaurant, so reservations are necessary on the weekends. Check it out, it is great culinary experience! read more

The food here is amazing! Got a couple of dishes and I was amazed by their quality of food. Not sure if it is authentic or not. But it is definitely better than other Malaysian places I been to. The portion of the food is quite small as well. The other downside is that it's a bit pricy. So definitely not a go to spot. Unless it is for a special occasion. read more

A rather disappointing visit considering it was probably my favourite restaurant when I visited last year. The cauliflower/broccoli dish (4.5/5) was still good but it was barely even warm. The beef rendang (3/5) was too salty and the beef was very dry. On the other hand, the char kway teow (3/5) was pretty bland. The place was also really loud (maybe because the walls are narrow?) and so due to the disappointing food I can no longer justify the high prices. read more

Not your typical run-of-the-mill Asian restaurant. From it's soothing ambiance to its delectable dishes, Soos by far is second to none. The service was stupendous. Water was being filled after basically every sip, plates and utensils were changed after every dish. What more could one ask for? Soos takes a modern/westernized twist to Malaysian cuisine and the two corresponds to one another beautifully. The decor is a mix of modern lighting and furniture with a unique cultural twist (in the walls, backsplash, and paintings). You could taste the freshness in every bite. I am new to Yelp but I am happy to say that Soos deserves my first ever review. Perfect setting for a date, family or friend outings! Ps: the CKT is life!!! read more

+.5 for service I recently took my parents along the Ossington Strip, since it's an area with an unique array of cuisines. After observing each restaurant, we settled with this place due to its interesting menu. Since we didn't reserve, we had to wait for about 30 minutes on a Sunday night. The menu isn't very extensive, but the choices give you the cream of what Malaysian cuisine is all about. We had the red chili wings, rendang beef short ribs, char kway teow, beef short rib sliders, laksa dumplings, and the sago sago. Every single dish was uniquely made and tasted between good and excellent. The only drawback was the char kway teow, which tasted decent but lacked the high uniqueness standard of all the other dishes. The sago sago was also nothing too special, but since it was a dessert item I didn't really care too much about it. Service was excellent even though the items took a while to come, but hey with high quality food comes a longer waiting time. Definitely a place I would visit again, even better if they change the items around every so often. read more

Super mediocre food at an elevated price. Nothing was horrible but nothing was memorable either. At its price range I think it fair to expect something a bit special but all I got was bland and mediocre food. Cucur Syur: has a lot more batter than cauliflower. I feel like I'm just eating fried batter. Red chilli wings: best dish of the night. Great flavour with a nice spicy kick but it's not too spicy. Soft shell crab: not good at all. Super small and tasteless crab. Propensity tossed slaw: it's not bad but I've definitely had better. It tastes very basic here. Laksa: one of the most mediocre and bland laksa I've ever had. read more

Came here with a group of friends which was great as everything on the menu is made for sharing. Reservations were easy to make online, and we were seated promptly. Some of the highlights for me were the soft shell crab and the laksa which tasted amazing. The Feed Me option looked appealing as well but requires that everyone at the table get it. I liked that this restaurant has a great deal of vegetarian and vegan options, and makes them delicious as well. Would definitely recommend and come back again - an Ossington staple! read more

The place is tucked in the Ossington strip of restaurants and boutique shops. It's small and cozy, and depending where you sit, it's hard to get up to go to the washroom. Speaking of that, it's in the basement. They kept it modern and clean with one room for each gender. I wasn't a big fan of the wallpaper or the decor. Nothing spoke out Malaysian (fusion) to me. The entrance could have a better set up for the server/host to greet the customers. Things were placed on two stools. We were early and were offered water right away. Throughout the dinner, water was refilled without asking. They were informative on the night's special entree and the ingredients that are used in the desserts. Meals: (1) The lettuce wrap with two (pieces of) soft shell crabs was small and I believe it's not worth $11. There's better deal out there for an app like this at a Japanese place. (2) The red chili wings looked good and it was actually hot in temperature which was nice since you know they just fried them!!! It had a good sauce to it, just a bit tiny on the size of the wings. (3) Char Kway Teow fried rice noodle was not worth it at all. It came with three shrimps, not prawns as the menu stated. I ordered this dish because it was recommended by other Yelpers. It reminds me of a "pad thai" or stir-fried noodle at a chinese place. The sauce was bland, but the spicy sauce that came with it was a lot better. They didn't add hardly any veggies, just bean sprouts, so it looked "blah". A little bit of red peppers, green peppers and coriander would have made the dish stand out! (4) My friend ordered the Laksa and he said the sauce was great that he took it home, but the quantity was not enough that he felt hungry still. A joke was that we should try the Cubana place next door to fill up our tummies after this experience. (5) Sago sago was for dessert and they were disappointed as they say it wasn't worth the money. My friend said she could make it better!! Verdict: I felt for a Malaysian type of restaurant, it was over-priced for the quantity and quality of food. The service was appreciated and they always had a smile on their faces! So will I go back, probably not. There's other restaurants on that street that I would love to try. read more

Had a horrible experience here. 1. The prosperity slaw tasted alright, but the portion was so small! $23 of vegetables and it was barely enough for 2 people 2. I'm not sure if the cook accidentally dropped the salt, but the Char Kway Teow was SO SALTY!! We went to complain that was not edible and the response is on #3. 3. When we went to complain about the Char Kway Teow, the Caucasian waitress with Fringe hair told us the following. "Sorry it's just how the kitchen makes things.". When we asked if it could be re-made with less salt, she told us "The kitchen is closed so it's too late". When we asked if we could just remove it from the bill, she said "Ugh it's your fault for ordering it, you should have known it was going to be like that". 4. I've had many Char Kway Teow and they were never THIS SALTY! On top of that the portion was disgustingly small. $24 for a small plate of noodles.. come on. 5. When we were given the bill, they charged us $24 for the prosperity slaw instead of $23. I had to point it out on the menu for them to fix the price. 6. No apologies from the waitresses on the mess ups at all. To the owner: I really hope you have a chat with the Caucasian waitress, as her service and response to the Salty Char Kway Teow was unacceptable. read more

I'm behind on reviews but I went here for dinner on October 21st 2017 after checking out the Guillermo del Toro exhibit at the AGO with some friends. The food portions are a good size despite the super dark environment (ambiance, I guess???). I had my DSLR with me since I brought it with me for the del Toro exhibit and did a comparison of the food photos I took with my phone -- it was so dark that my phone photos were barely usable for Yelp. lol The food here is really good and reasonably priced. The waitresses and waiters were attentive and suggested we get individual bowls for the laksa (a few dollars more) since they noticed we were sharing plates. A good choice on our end because it was just the perfect amount of food. read more

Went to Soos recently for a dinner with my family and had a mostly lovely experience. Malay food was a huge part of my upbringing and every bite had my parents and I turning to one another and exclaiming that it tasted like something my grandmother would make. Standouts were the evening's special, a whole roasted sea bass, and the pork belly pancakes. We also had a delicious curry and soup. Absolutely delicious from start to finish, though I found service could be a little curt. We also had a family next to us whose three small children were essentially having a food fight which the server ignored completely. I got a handful of salad(?) thrown into my lap and the servers seemed completely unconcerned with the ruckus. read more
