We asked for a simple dietary consideration and it was totally ignored. When we brought it to their attention, the chef just shrugged his shoulders and said it was a mis-communication. There was no attempt to make it up to us or try to make us feel better. They just did not care. We ended up paying for food that we could not eat. We will never go back.

There's paid street parking on both sides of the street. I did read a review that there's complimentary parking behind the restaurant though. Mai Bistro has a small patio out front that's covered and indoor seating as well. We opted to sit on the patio. Since it was our first time at the restaurant the waitress explained the various menus to us. There was a written menu for Today's Specials and some of them were crossed out. I'm guessing that those items have already sold out. I saw a photo of the menu from a couple of years ago and in comparing with the menu from the other day I can see that prices have increased for some dishes. To me, prices veer on the higher side. The grilled lemongrass pork with rice and asian slaw was $22 and the shrimp ceviche with fresh salsa and avocado on a crispy tortilla was $11. My Vietnamese style pork tacos were a good deal for $10. Even at the regular price of $14 the price isn't too different from tacos at other restaurants. The pork was flavourful and portions are like what I found from food trucks in LA (but leave you wanting more).

Before she could take her first sip our server came back and took the glass and the carafe back to the bar and stated that she would be back in a minute. When she returned she had a fresh carafe and told us that the previous serving was from an older bottle which was an error and that they had opened a new bottle The integrity of that action was very impressive We ordered the Shrimps Chips, Pad Thai, Green Curry and the Spicy Eggplants and they were all great though I felt that the green curry was not as spicy as a green curry should be ...this one had the heat levels of a red curry Also happy to see the restaurant almost 80% full and that for a Sunday night is a good sign

Lee is the one restaurant I look forward to every Summerlicious…read more One reason is that every year they create a completely new menu instead of reusing dishes from their regular menu. As an Asian fusion restaurant, I always come curious to see what new ideas the chef has come up with. The last two Summerlicious menus disappointed me a little--they felt a bit uninspired, with dishes like the vegetable curry and croquette. This year, however, the creativity is back, and I'd happily recommend Lee's Summerlicious menu again. Fried Wild Cod The crispy cod is served in an edible crispy rice basket, making it feel like sharing bread at the start of the meal. The fish is fried perfectly with a crisp exterior and moist, flaky interior. Paired with Thai sweet chili sauce, it's light, flavorful, and great for sharing. Gazpacho Picante A refreshing take on gazpacho. The avocado gives it a smoother texture, while the hint of spice adds another layer without overpowering the chilled tomato soup. Refreshing and a great appetizer. BBQ Jerk Pork Ribs Three generous ribs--almost a main course on their own. The meat is tender while still retaining a bit of bite, similar to the texture of slow-cooked jerk chicken. The jerk seasoning is excellent, coating every bite with rich, aromatic spices. Pan Roasted Salmon The salmon is beautifully cooked with a nicely caramelized exterior while remaining juicy inside. Each accompaniment brings something different: the olive tapenade is deeply savory, the parsnip purée is smooth and slightly sweet, the lima bean adds a creamy, nutty richness, and the lemon-tomato-pepper vinaigrette brightens everything with acidity and a gentle kick. Lima Bean Succotash Probably the prettiest dish on the menu--and also the most unusual. The lima beans and peas are cooked until tender without becoming mushy. The flavors are layered, but there's a subtle bitterness throughout. After asking the chef, we learned it's the natural flavor of lima beans and was intentionally preserved as part of the dish. Fried Organic Chicken The fried chicken is juicy and tender, reminding me of Japanese karaage. It comes with two fun sauces: one is rich and spicy with a hint of coconut, while the other is a sweet pineapple-lime mayo that pairs surprisingly well with the chicken. The pandan rice, however, was fairly ordinary. The desserts are still classic Lee--beautifully plated, but the flavors are more restrained. We tried the Rhubarb Almond Frangipane Tart, Lemon Mousse Panna Cotta (our favorite), and Strawberry Raspberry Monkey Bread. This year's Summerlicious reminded me why I fell in love with Lee in the first place.

After trying it I completely understood, this was the BEST salad of my life! All 26 ingredients worked together perfectly to make a delicious, tangy, crunchy salad unlike anything i've had before. I also highly recommend the wine paring they suggest having with the salad :) Everything else on the menu was done really well. The cheeseburger spring roll was quite unique, Indo think there could've been more texturally inside the actual spring roll, it was all mush in there. Very nice ambiance, service were very attentive, I had a great time and will be back to try more items :)

We've been coming here forever…read more This business has thrived during good times and bad for a few reasons: the food is always on point, it is a clean establishment, it's great value (humungous portions) and the owners are genuinely good people.

He was incredibly great at checking in and making us feel valued. The ambiance of this place was my favourite thing. I love the detail put into the decor of this place!

I had high hopes of this izakaya but unfortunately the expectations fell short…read more The vibes were fun, but the restaurant is quite cramped and a bit too loud. I felt I had to shout in order for my friend to hear me who was sitting right across from me. I ordered: - brussel sprouts ($12) - tasty but salty - shrimp risotto ($22) - rice uncooked & salty - corn croquette ($10) - this was good - skewers sampler ($34) - quite overpriced for 6 skewers - forgot what drink was call but it was $8-$10 and was also very bland Everything was just overly salty. The only items I would order again is the brussel sprouts and corn croquette. However, portion size was quite small and not worth it overall.

I've been meaning to check out DaiLo for a while after only hearing amazing things about it…read more The hospitality really impressed me. The general manager and server warmly greeted us and checked up on us several times. The way they took care of us throughout the meal felt like a friend who was personally hosting us in their home. They also took the time to really explain each dish and how to best enjoy it, which I appreciated. Overall, the food definitely didn't disappoint. As someone who is sensitive to salt, I was most impressed by how every dish was perfectly seasoned (not over-seasoned with salt, sugar, and msg). Each dish tasted carefully crafted to let the ingredients shine. Betel Leaf - super fresh and aromatic flavours, really wakes up the taste buds. This is a small bite though so it's gone quick. Mushroom Dumplings - my understanding is that this is a seasonal vegetarian item but it deserves a place on the permanent menu. This was hands-down the best dish of the night. I will dream about and salivate over this dish. The brown butter sauce on the mushroom filling in the dumpling (almost like a ravioli), and truffle + cheese... my gosh, it's a flavor explosion! So decadent and rich, and seasoned to perfection. We licked the plate clean - it was THAT good. Sweet & Sour Pork Hock - the pork was so tender and soft. Again, seasoned well and very balanced. The pickled radish and peppers cut through the fat nicely between bites. I wish there were more of those radish pieces! Octopus Tacos - really smoky and well-cooked octopus, and interesting textures! I was not expecting the shell/wrap to be a vegetable! I enjoyed it and the dish felt lighter/healthier. Big Mac Bao - honestly, save your money on this one. It was good but it's exactly what you'd expect? Tastes like a Big Mac with a Bao bun rather than a regular bun. I just don't understand why someone would order this for $11 and it's pretty small. Duck Bokkeum - this was interesting! As a Korean, I appreciated the Korean twist. The duck was cooked textbook and everything was well-executed. I just don't think I'm a smoked duck person. I like Peking duck. I felt like the smokiness was a little overpowering for my own preferences and I got a little tired of the flavor after several bites. That said, the vegetables on this dish are superb and add great dimension and textures! If you like smoked duck, try it! If you're not a fan, save the $62 and spend it on something else! Aloe Sake Sorbet - a beautiful finish and palate cleanser to a wonderful meal. Very refreshing. You can taste both the sake and the aloe. PARKING NOTE: There's a garage right across the street on the same side as DaiLo that offers very affordable parking. Would recommend parking there!

I have heard great things about DaiLo and finally got to try it. I came here on a Saturday evening…read moreand had a reservation. The restaurant was really busy and all tables were occupied. We were a group of 6 and had a family-style dinner. We ordered 4 starters, 4 mains and 3 desserts. It was the perfect amount. Every dish was unique and enjoyable. The flavours and textures were impressive, we truly enjoyed our dinning experience. For starters, we got the carpaccio (tasted like pho), fried watermelon (crispy and juicy), eggplant burrata (very nice pairing), octopus taco (my favourite!). For mains, we got the chicken, duck, lamb, truffle fried rice. Everything was cooked perfectly. The lamb and duck were my personal favourite. I also love all the different pairings it came with on the side. A small note, I changed my reservation from 4 people to 6 an hour before dinner. And was told for party of 5+, the $125 per person tasting menu is required. This threw me off, but the manager Jeff was really nice and gave us an exception. They also offer complimentary still and sparkling water. The washroom is located in the basement level. The service is in line with a high end restaurant - plates changed between courses, napkins fold when you step away, dishes explained, etc. Overall, great experience and I will come back.

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.

The cream of the cheese croissant overshadowed the cheese, but it was still tasty overall. The service was great in that the waitress brought water even though I did not ask for it. Also, the open kitchen is a nice concept because you can watch the cooking in the background. It really adds to the calm atmosphere. The prices were reasonable and the quality of the food overall was good. I would like to come here again some time.

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.
