The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food is of great quality and amazing portion size. I'm always stuffed whenever I eat here, and they are sensitive to my food allergy to peanuts! I always come here for comfort foods, since the wide variety let's me pick if I want more veggies or more meat in the meal I'm ordering. I try to go whenever I come back from out of town, but sometimes that can be months apart. The food still tasted great today and I still will be a regular here for years to come, even if I move away! What more can I say besides the fact that they have amazingly priced lunch specials between 11am and 3pm? You need to come here if you're a fan of Chinese / Indian "Hakka" cuisine. Worth becoming a regular for, especially if you live in the area!

Make sure to reserve or put yourself on waitlist as there will be a wait otherwise. There's a pretty big menu with lots of options and a good cocktail selection, which I liked. Prices are reasonable in some areas, but I did feel like the nigiri and sashimi were on the pricier side. I ordered the chirashi bowl and the onsen aburi don. They were fine overall -- the fish was cut pretty thick and seared on the outside. I think I would've enjoyed it more if the slices were thinner though, since some pieces ended up a bit chewy. Overall, it was decent but didn't quite wow me for the price. That said, the atmosphere is great, so it's still a solid spot if you're going more for drinks and the vibe. Service was good with servers been attentive and quick.

Everything we consumed was delicious. Go! My normal version starts now. I hadn't seen a couple of dear friends for a while. We originally wanted to catch up on Boxing Day. I had made a reservation, but the greater Toronto area ended up with a snowstorm that day. We changed meeting up to New Year's Eve at noon instead. I made a reservation for three at this Petit Potato through Google reservations. Changing it was easy. A few hours before the actual reservation, I got a text message to confirm or cancel. Nice! Petit Potato is located in a busy plaza. It has a grocery store next door. Parking can be hectic. I managed to find a parking spot across from the eatery and backed into it. I walked in. I was immediately greeted by a nice man. I said that I had a reservation under my name. Without skipping a beat, he led me to the booth closest to the door. Nice! It wasn't cold sitting near the entrance. There was a heater on the floor. It was effective, as my friends and I were warm during our entire stay. They came in. We had the best three hours here catching up, and enjoying good eats and drinks. I scanned the QR code for our table that got me an online menu. You basically order online and the food magically appears. You ask for the bill when you're ready. We did three orders. Our first order was drinks: - Blackcurrant sparkling water - Kiwi lemon sparkling water - Strawberry lemon sparkling water I am a huge fan of sparkling drinks, as is one of my friends. These drinks were super fizzy and refreshing. It also came with real fruit. It did take some effort for me to fish out the kiwi because the ice cubes were in the way. The fruit was so juicy. I ordered the strawberry lemon sparkling water, which was equally as fabulous. Our second order comprised appetizers and mains: - Japanese deep-fried tofu with assorted mushrooms - Popcorn chicken with aioli - Chicken teppan fettuccine in a spicy black pepper sauce - Sizzling spicy chicken with basil, ginger, and onion, with rice on the side - Unagi omurice with teriyaki - mushrooms and butter in the rice The deep-fried tofu and mushrooms were amazing. If you love them in a light broth, you'll be as happy as I was. I had half this appetizer. The popcorn chicken with aioli was impressive. The chicken was white meat in strips. It didn't look like popcorn. My friends ate this appetizer up. I had a few strips that were crispy and tender. The aioli was perfect. One of my friends ordered the sizzling chicken teppan fettuccine. I got to enjoy a bit of the fettuccine in a yummy, spicy black pepper sauce. The pasta was al dente and tasted homemade. The sauce was superb with bits of mushrooms in it. It wasn't too spicy, but the black pepper sauce had a lot of flavour. My other friend had the sizzling spicy chicken with basil, ginger, and onion. He loved it. It came with steamed rice on the size. It was steamy that you could easily get a facial if you put your face above this dish! I got the unagi (eel) omurice with teriyaki. It was excellent. The rice inside the omelette had butter and mushrooms. Highly enjoyable! It was nice having a solid piece of eel that was nicely grilled and tender. The omelette was perfect as a wrapper around the rice. It's how omurice should be made. This place nailed it! Our third and final order was dessert: - Creme caramel - Brown sugar crema souffle pancakes with boba and vanilla ice cream The creme caramel was so smooth. I'm talking silky smooth. You don't need to chew. It just glides down from your mouth into your stomach. The caramel had so much body with a slightly bitter finish to it. So good! My other friend went to town having the brown sugar crema souffle pancakes. We all thought that the boba were blueberries. Nope! I had some. The different textures of the boba with the jiggly pancakes, strawberry slices, and the best french vanilla ice cream was pure perfection. Brown sugar goes so well with boba. It was a fabulous end to our fine meal. We all used the washroom at different points. I used it before we left. It was clean. It was a single stall. No complaints. There are specials, depending on when you go. My friends were kind to pick up the tab. This place accepts credit cards. We had a fabulous time. Three thumbs up! We'll be back. (4)

We both got the chicken pakora, honey garlic chicken and Manchurian chicken (we did not realize that we actually ordered 3 chicken dishes after haha oops). I enjoyed the pakora, it was crunchy and they used a good amount of spice for it as well. I liked the honey garlic chicken more than the Manchurian chicken in my opinion. Although it was sweeter, I still preferred the honey garlic chicken. The Manchurian chicken was okay for me. Service was standard, there was no customers in the store when we came in but people started piling in after we were about to leave. Good portion, I did have to bring some home. Overall, I can check off on my list that I have tried hakka food (Y).

I have avoided going back to the Sheppard location for years, as the food was always hit & miss. Hopeful the food had improved, I took advantage of the Uber eats 2 for 1 special... Sadly, the taste was not worth even 1 bag! I ordered: the Mild Cajun shrimp, with corn and potato as the sides. 1 look and I could tell it was not going to be as delicious as the other location. Instead of using the small whole potatoes as the other location did, they had a long russet potato that had been sliced lengthwise. These are great for French fries, but not so tasty boiled in Cajun sauce as they made the sauce starchy because it was cut open and disintegrating into the sauce. Also, it was so big that they were not fully cooked. While the corn on the cob was over cooked and dry as a bone. Most of the sauce had been absorbed by the AMAZON SIZED POTATO!! I wish they would fix the food, as I live nearby and would probably eat there weekly!

The menu mainly focuses on rice and noodle dishes, but they also have bar snacks and juices, which is a nice touch. I ordered the popcorn chicken, which is a must every time I come--still solid and flavorful. I also got the curry laksa shrimp. It wasn't anything special, but it satisfied my craving for stir-fry ramen. We shared the flaming chicken as well. It doesn't come with much on its own, so we added extra toppings, but it didn't hit the same as it used to. Overall, it's a fun place with good energy and dependable options, especially if you're in the mood for hot, sizzling dishes.

QR code used to order is a bit of a hassle setting up verification code etc. Spicy Udon creamy sauce and the meat which cooks on the plate. Good flavor, sauce didn't quite stick to the noodles. I would prefer more chew to the udon. Perhaps the sizzling plates cooked it a bit more than nessary. It wasn't mush but definitely perfered if there was a chew. The star of the show was the sizzling plates when it comes out it's like a surprise. There is paper around the dish to prevent the sizzling splatter. Good solid meal simple and quick.
