AH-MAZE-BALLS. I'll start with the bad since I only have one "bad" thing to say: deviled eggs would not be my go to. However, in one night, my date and I devoured through 5 dishes: We started with the Kim chi ravioli and squid pancake. The pan cake was very good - very comfort food if you want something our Asian parents would make for us - the ravioli DEFS recommend. It's crispy but sumptuous, creamy and tasty. I've never had crispy ravioli before - definitely a 5 We then got the Braised Beef ribs and Taiwanese Chicken (two pieces were more than enough). It's so crispy and crunchy outside that the inside is just mind/buds blowing. The meat is so soft and tender, so juicy and tasty! Was epic. And throughout the meal, I was sipping on a bubble tea (puts Chatime to shame) never had such a fancy bubble with dried candied mangoes and mini pearls. Just writing all this makes me wanna run back. Our waiter, Steven, was the most helpful and friendly waiter I've ever met. And I always pay super attention to the staff. He's for sure a memorable one. Genuine in taking care of his customers and even more genuine making sure you're ordering something you'd like. Chapeau Steven - tu fais un super beau travail ! et chapeau aux chefs de Té! (I'm bringing my sister in a couple weekends to surprise her as I think she deserves the best dishes and Té has just that to offer!) read more

This restaurant truly surprised my wife and I. We ate on the beautiful patio on a beautiful day. The service was to be recognized - he was really professional and great at making recommendations. We had the fried chicken, Toasted Kimchi Ravioli with Honeyed Wasabi Pesto, Bulgogi Mac n' Cheese and the Jap Chae with a glass of the Mar-Té-Ni and Prince Edward County Chard (I can't recall the winery). Everything was amazingly tasteful with the highlights being the Jap Chae, a noodle dish with vermicelli sweet potato clear noodles, bulgogi beef with fresh veggies, and the kimchi ravioli which were a taste explosion and quite original with the fried fresh ravioli that they make in-house and kimchi and cheese toped with wasabi pesto (do I need to say more? yummy...). The mac and cheese was also quite special with the bulgogi and crusted cheese and would order it again. The fried chicken very good but Kai Pai in Cabbagetown has this place beat for their taiwanese style chicken (but that place is hard to beat). Although we stumbled on this place after not getting a table at our originally selected restaurant down the street, we are very satisfied of our choice and we will return. The sliders looked to be a hit with our nearby tables. read more

Té - The Mac and Cheese is amazing and quite different! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here on a Saturday for brunch but the restaurant was not very busy, which I enjoyed! The service was attentive and we received great recommendations from the waitress. Among all the delicious items I liked their sweet potato fries with the wasabi mayo the most. The fries were very crispy and the wasabi mayo was a perfect match! It is not always easy to "fusion" the food but Te makes grease fusion creation and is able to incorporate Asian twist into a western style brunch. I will definitely come back for dinner sometime! read more

Té - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The first thing you are greeted with is the venue's wonderful ambience. It provides an intimate setting for couples and small groups. However this is definitely not a place for groups larger than 5 unless you make reservations well ahead of time as there is only one or two tables with enough room. We started with the "Unadultered Ssam" with pork belly. The pork was seasoned well but a little overcooked. The chilli paste had a wonderful sweet kick. I then had the "Korean BBQ Burger". The burger was cooked well and juicy. The sweet flavour really punched through nicely. The rest of the sandwich was basically standard fare for burgers. The fries that came with the meal, however, were quite bland and tasted like frozen fries from the grocery. Overall, the food was good but I would explore other options at these prices. read more

Food is good but they need a bit of refining to make this experience amazing. Service to get drinks was a bit slow but it wasn't that server'a fault it just seemed like they didn't have enough staff on the floor. We ordered a bunch of sharing plates and were happy with the quality and the price. The communal tables were a bit annoying. I think with a few adjustments this place could be awesome. Still definitely worth a visit! read more

Came for brunch on a Saturday. Surprised to see we were the only ones in the restaurant. Ordered the kimchi pork belly eggs benny with hash browns and the taiwanese fried chicken with a hong kong waffle - everything was tasty and very reasonably priced. Girlfriend ordered an amaretto milk tea which was also really good. We sat out back in the patio. Unique menu if you enjoy asian fusion. read more

New favourite spot in Toronto. Food is unique and outstanding. Affordable pricing. Not pretentious. Will visit again.

The decor is nice and the service is ok (no quality check after we got our food). The food however, which is the most important part is mediocre. Ossington has so many wonderful restaurants, this one is just average by comparison. Feels like the chef has given up. read more

Love the atmosphere, the staff, and obviously the food. It was quiet for a Thursday evening, but either way, the staff felt like my group of friends and I met new friends! They gave amazing recommendations, got to share their spotify playlist with us, and shared some laughs with one another! As for the food, it was genuinely amazing. Don't quite remember what everyone had, but the quality just hit the spot Té is honestly a place to keep a watch out for if you're near Trinity Bellwoods! read more

Food was really good! Staff were very friendly and the patio was quite pleasant! For sure coming back here!

My husband and I stopped in to Te around 10:30PM on a summer night for a late dinner and drinks. We are so glad we did!!! We sat on the patio, where the ambiance is just awesome. Our server - Stephen - was the best we've had anywhere in recent memory; he has an incredible passion for the place and for making sure the his patrons have an amazing experience. And the food was delicious! I had the bulgogi mac and cheese, and my husband had the fried chicken thighs and sweet potato fries. We have a three-year old and don't get out very often. When we do, we are going to try to get to Te again. 5 stars for the food, 5 stars + for Stephen! read more

My goodness is this place amazing! Went here on a whim and was so pleasantly surprised. The bartender/server Steven was amazing! He made exceptionally recommendations based on our own personalized palettes. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu and the cocktail list. Our Evening dishes and drinks consisted of: Starters: Bulgogi Sliders (I could eat a million of these) Deep Fried Beef Dumplings Mains: Bulgogi Mac & Cheese Tonkatsu Drinks The Mar*té*ni Mango Black Té Té Bubbly (one of the best tasting drinks I've ever had!!) The dishes were flavourful and unique. The price was right and the portions were exceptional! If you weren't too hungry and you wanted a sensory experience - order the Bulgogi Sliders with the Te Bubbly. You will not be disappointed! I am already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Randomly came across this place while looking for a place to eat. It was busy but they found a spot without reservations for three of us. The food and the service were great! Our server, Steven, was very professional and friendly. He apologized for slow service although we didn't think it was slow at all. Everything was delicious and easy to share. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu! read more

Walked in with a group of six just as they started dinner on a freezing cold night. Nice decor, clean and modern space. As we were the first and only group at the moment, we had dedicated service from the waiter. She was great. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share including crispy squid balls, squid pancakes, jap chae, bi bim bap, braised beef poutine, yam fries, pork belly on lettuce wraps, and bulgogi with mac n cheese. Everything was really good, but...ahhmmmm...bulgogi with mac n cheese???? Where have you been all my life?!?! It was amazing. The mac n cheese was done perfectly, as far as I'm concerned. The slightly sweet flavour of the bulgogi is the perfect compliment to this dish. All in all, we found the food to be very tasty and nicely presented. Good value for the prices as well. Nice addition to the Ossington foodie strip. read more

Very interesting fusion of korean and western food. We ordered about 5 dishes (to share between 2) and the best were the bulgogi beef sliders. The dumplings are just dumplings though. The squid was a bit tough, and I realize it's something hard to get right. The garlic edamame is also very tasty! read more

Everything about Te's Instagram page made me want to visit this relatively new resto - Lovely decor, beautiful plates, REALLY interesting food combinations. Sadly, the food was a complete letdown. The menu sounds fantastic (Korean Fusion) but the flavours are not combined properly and the result was disappointing. We had: Deep Fried Beef Dumplings: Not bad. They taste frozen, but the dipping sauce helps elevate the dish. Kimchi Devilled Eggs: An unpleasant combination of two of my favourites. The flavours just did not work - mild gag reflex ensued. Marbled Egg Shooter: Again, not bad. But they should tell you that one order is 4 portions - we ordered too much and tried to give our extras to the next table. They were just as unhappy about the food as us and politely declined. Pizza Tteok Bok Ki: Why did we even THINK this was going to be good?!?! Its an overly sweet version of a traditional Tteok Bik Ki with shredded and melted mozzarella on top. Toasted Kimchi Ravioli: What should have been the best item on the menu ended with sadness. The fried ravioli skins were great, but the filling was off-putting and the wasabi pesto overpowered the entire dish and did not work at all. If you do decide to come to Te, please try other items on the menu. Eat what we had and you will walk away unhappy, with a sore stomach and filled with sadness. And try the drinks - they were good. Bourbon Sweet Te was pleasant and soothing, Mango Black Te was refreshing and fun, Jasmine Gin & Tonic was a fun twist on a classic. read more

The good news start and end with a potential for a good menu. The bad news: a very badly trained service which is cold and not prepared, inconsistent to very average drinks, average to poorly executed dishes for the most part with the only exceptions being sliders and fried chicken. They fry well. All the rest was just average and sad. The rice is so blend with no flavor. The beef short ribs were gummy to where you couldn't cut through it with a knife. We ordered almost half of the menu and all agreed about it being a very disappointing experience. Big no go. read more

I randomly popped into Té for some snacks and drinks. I was blown away by their food. Kimchi Ravioli was my fave, but everything that we tried was a hit - including the devilled eggs, bulgogi beef sliders and Taiwanese Fried Chicken. While we sat inside, there is an amazing back patio. We will definitely be back! read more

We arrived at this place because our first choice had a long line - which is how I suspect they get much of their business. The restaurant was less than half full, but we somehow still had to wait close to an hour for our food, which was underwhelming when it finally arrived. The staff was very friendly, and did their best to accommodate us. Unless you're grabbing a drink or aren't in a rush, I wouldn't waste your time. read more

Hello Yelp! Welcome to TE it's a very cute Asian inspired place. We are sitting here on a Sunday night and the place was empty. My friend Jomi was hesitant since there was no people seated down but since a homeless man was haggling us outside we decided to make the leap literally and figuratively, and stepped inside. The place is clean and very new, playing some chill R&B vibes. We are sitting at a marble candle lit table which looks beautiful, as some old school sailor moon is in the background. Our first order of the salsa set is Super fresh and the salsa is of interesting flavor of kimchi but in literal salsa form, a refreshing texture. These avocados are so ripe and were born for this guacamole . we got the fried chicken which was good but I felt like the oil was a little too hot as the outside was on the crispier side, and the spices tasted burned however the chicken was juicy. If this is what they were trying to achieve than great! I didn't mind but my friends thought otherwise. The sliders I'd give a 4/5 the egg on top were nice runny but I wouldn't come running back for the sliders. As for the Mac and cheese very nice the beef was cooked perfectly with good flavour and nice crisp parmesan cheese Crips on top. We got the matcha white chocolate cookie ice cream, was nice however I would suggest a soft cookie as opposed to a hard crispy one to go with the ice cream for better texture. Overall good is above average, I would not come running back for the food but I would go here if I didn't know where else to go but would like a neat, hip Asian place to visit with amazing service. Tip:*Check out the washrooms the lights serve perfect for taking selfies read more

Randomly walked into this place when in Ossinton. It's a Korean fusion restaurant. The food is quite good and impressive. Tapas style and pretty tasty. read more

Wow wow wow!!!!! I can't say enough about the incredible welcome greeting from Stephen! We came here at a busy time and unlike everywhere else that treated us like "whatever", we received a personable request to wait. We waited and ended up having some amazing food. Definitely recommending the kimchi ravioli, fried chicken and "Marteni". Definitely coming back and bringing my other friends along. Keep up the amazing service. read more

The drinks are really really good. Everything else is a hard pass. Food we ate: Kimchi Deviled Eggs - weird and unpleasant combination of flavours. Like made me shudder unpleasant. Pizza TTeok Bok Ki - okay so the only thing that actually makes this "pizza" is that they added cheese to a classic Korean dish. The bok ki itself was overly sweet and too chewy Toasted Kimchi Ravioli - It just didn't work. The wasabi on top was not a good flavour combination This "fusion" made me feel like if an American and Korean person got stoned and decided to try and mix all their favourite foods together. Great in theory, bad in practice. read more

Upfront I have to say, Bellwoods and a few other spots on the block were packed, and there were scant few people at Te, and I can't understand that because Te is exceptional, maybe the gem of the block. On all fronts, food, drink, and atmosphere, they hit it on the head. They offer unique amd fun twists on Korean cuisine. We shared kimchi ravioli for eats, which is such a great idea I can't believe more places don't do it. They were fresh amd delicious. The drinks were phenomenol, too. We tried a sangria, fruity but strong, plus one of the special cocktails, a jasmine gin tonic. The latter is as simple as it sounds, a gin amd tonic with a special twist. The jasmine tea flavor is prominent but not overpowering. Very well mixed. The bartender, who was incredibly kind and helpful, told us he is experimenting with more creative mixes as well. Can't wait. For atmosphere, it is bright but classy and very clean, with nice wood finishings and a sweet deep greenish blue wall that features incredible artwork. Above the bar, they were showing some classic sailor moon. If outdoor is where you stay, they have a nice and relaxing patio out back, as well. read more

5 stars for our bubbly server and the pretty patio in the back. It makes for amazing photos with the lights hanging above us. 3 stars for the actual taste of the food. We got sweet potato fries and the matcha cream cheese. It tasted decent. Well more like I could have bought it from the frozen section and reheated at home. And the portions were tiny and overpriced. Cheesecake slice was the size of my palm, and I have small asian girl hand/palm. If portion sizes were bigger, I would consider coming back to try the other stuff in the menu. read more

Nice cozy place to hang out with friends. Food is good. Didn't try any drinks though. Maybe next time.

I am impressed. Creativity overflows at this place and spills out as a burst of flavour accompanied by top notch service. Visited on the last night of summer 2017 and though a quiet night neither the chef nor our host skimped in showing us the true colours of this place. Great cocktails + great food + Great service can only result in a fantastic time. Can't wait to return for brunch! read more

This is the best casual well priced delicious eats on ossington.. unpretentious and the service is amazing. Must try the unadulterated ssam with bulgogi! read more

Strategically picked this new-ish resto to try because of it's close proximity to bang bang to get dessert after. Was not disappointed. At first, we were a little bit worried because when we walked in about 7pm on a saturday night - the place was empty. But that just meant that the service was so much more attentive. We were sat at the only round booth by the front window with a TV perfectly situated for us to catch the raptors and leafs playoff games. The decor is really chic and cozy. Great place for a date or like us - dinner with friends. The 3 of us started w/ drinks - sangria, black mango te and some black chai te aka bbt with alcohol in it. All the drinks tasted great. Ive never had bbt with alcohol in it before so that was neat. We also had the jasmine tea gin and tonic and that went down really well. Really smooth. It was like we were at a pho restaurant sipping on jasmine tea w/ a kick! We ordered a number of things on the menu to share. Fried chicken x4 pieces, bulgogi mac and cheese, unadultered pork belly ssam, kim chi ravioli, bulgogi sliders, and tonkatsu. Out of everything we had, the best were the ssam, fried chicken, and sliders. I'd say I was the least impressed by the kim chi ravioli - the kim chi and the wasabi/pesto had disagreeing flavours IMO. Tonkatsu was average. The bulgogi mac and cheese was a bit plain - it was just mac and cheese w/ bulgogi on top - not enough fusion flare in that dish - needed some kimchi in it or something. We had added siracha to everything as well - wasnt as spicy as we had thought. Fried chicken was moist, not overly salty. Overall, good food, good drinks. The 3 of us split the bill and paid about $60 per person after taxes and tip. Would recommend to others. read more

The place is great and the staff is very friendly. Didn't like the food. The flavours were a bit weird

I liked this place! It's a nice change/ mix of vibe from ossington usual spots. Owner was friendly and I love how there's a cozy cushioned bench seating around bay window. Food was very delicious and big portions. Price point was fair for the amount you get. I really liked how they offer both bottomless coffee (brew was great no need for milk/sugar) and French press. Food tastes very fresh and seasoned very nicely. Will return for brunch again! read more

I hosted my birthday dinner at Té based on my best friend's recommandation. I am so glad I took a chance, they truly went above and beyond to ensure my guests ( 12 people in total) and I had the best experience possible. Everything was flawless, from booking, Grace helped me to assemble a very reasonably priced prix fixe menu for the group and made sure to include a sample of everything. Our waiter, Stephen, was extremely attentive, courteous, and made good suggestions for cocktails. The food was amazing, everyone enjoyed it thoroughly( some of us are really picky eaters) I would certainly go back for the tasty food, drinks and service. I am so glad I found this little gem on the Ossington strip. read more

The food was OK. I had the matcha waffles which was delicious but the eggs and bacon were mediocre. I prefer my own eggs and bacon I make at home. The service was great and the location was baby friendly which helped with our experience. read more

Good food interesting menu and drinks. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had the pork grilled cheese read more

My overall score of this joint is 3.2/5. Not bad. Not great. Ordered the: 1) saam with pork belly (flavour was good but pork belly was not melt-in-your mouth), 2) bulgogi burger with fries (burger was decent but the fries were cooked and the texture was poor - they tasted like McCain frozen fries and have no place in an Asian fusion restaurant), 3) fried chicken (crispy skin, nothing to write home about the flavour/seasoning, cooked well (meat was moist)), kimchi devilled eggs (no presence of any kimchi flavour - wouldn't recommend ordering), Jap Chae (nothing special about the flavour/textures/preparation - wouldn't recommend ordering). House-made hot sauces were good. Ambiance was cozy, and warm, but there was a girl who was taking so loud and had the most obnoxious and annoying voice which made the dining experience significantly less enjoyable. This was hoping a waiter would have walked over to the table to tell her to stfu. I'm not going to put this on the restaurant though. Our waiter was amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and informative. read more

The girls and I came here for brunch during our weekend getaway. I was panicking, trying to find a place that would let me make reservations online for 5 with less than 12 hours' notice. I stumbled upon this place, and after reading over the menu, booked it. We showed up and were sat in the front circle booth by the window. The table made us feel like we were in our own private section, with a huge window for breeze right behind us. The service was good, and the food was decent. I had their chicken and waffles. The breading on the chicken was pretty hard, and the chicken itself slightly dry. However, I killed the waffle and immediately wanted more, so I stole some of my friend's matcha bubble waffle. They had innovative cocktails compared to what I see in Detroit... They had bubbles in some of them! Great atmosphere, but I don't know if I'd rush to come back with so many other restaurants around. read more

It's our first time here and the food was excellent. Our server was very attentive. We had sweet potato fries, kimchi ravioli and fried chicken. Will definitely come back to try new dishes. read more

Te is a cute restaurant, I was just here for dinner. Food was ok, nothing spectacular, we had the braised beef poutine, bulgolgi mac n cheese, fried chicken, lettuce wraps, sliders and kim chi deviled eggs, out of those I would recommend the deviled eggs and sliders, service was excellent, this place opens late so it's a good place to grab some snacks and have drinks read more

Huevos mash up and waffles and fried chicken were good but nothing special. Nice patio. Was not busy at all on a Sunday at 12pm. With so many brunch options it's hard to see me go back to Te but the meal was good. read more

The food was okay but nothing exceptional, however the service needs significant improvement. We waited over an hour for our food with no apologies from the waiter. When we inquired about our food we were told there was a large party who ordered ahead of us and that's it, no apology. After finally bringing the food, they never came back to clear the table and ask us if we wanted to order dessert. We ended up having to go to the front of the restaurant and ask for the bill just so we could pay and leave. In addition to all of this, they did nothing to compensate us for this poor experience. Won't be back. read more
