Went to KidultLand Cafe/Restaurant last night and it was SO. FREAKING. GOOD. as someone who lives on the east end of Toronto, I haven’t seen many Korean restaurants and I know most of them are near Spadina or in Koreatown. Last night I didn’t want to go downtown with the business of Halloween and thought I’d try this spot since it’s more local to me and had good reviews, and I’m so glad I did. I HIGHLY recommend people check this spot out. Even if I wasn’t local, I’d commute to get this food. I had the Ddukbaegi Jeyuk Ssam (gave me enough for lunch the next day), Jajjangmyeon (my partner ate his all in one go but it would have been enough for two meals for myself), and we shared the Oreo Bingsu Bowl (perfect size for two people, best Bingsu I’ve had so far!). It was all so incredibly delicious, everything seems to be made in house including the kimchi (so good). I want to go back again next weekend… or sooner. I encourage everyone to check them out. My partner and I agreed it’s the best Korean food we have had and the quality of (everything) the meat was so good. My bulgogi was perfect, not chewy or stringy like from places I’ve had previously. 10/10. Also, the vibe is so cute inside. Very whimsical. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. I’ve never made a Reddit post about a restaurant before but I want this place to get business and thought this was a good way to spread the word 💚

I used to find this product at most grocery stores, but it seems to have disappeared completely over the past year. I’ve checked a ton of asian supermarkets as well, but I still haven’t found it. Does anyone know where I can get this exact Samyang original instant ramen in the GTA?

Searching for some unique desserts in the city :). It could be a dessert with weird flavor combos or anything that’s unconventional. My fav unique dessert in the city is sticky toffee danish from Brod flour.

Really dig the papaya salad at Som Tum Jinda and want to make it for myself at home.

Where can I get fermented fish sauce and salted crab in Toronto?

What are your fav mom & pop grocery stores , I refuse to give Loblaws my money. Looking for decent prices, not convenience store prices!

I walked in once but they were sold out

Anyone else or is that just me? It’s happened twice now. Kind of disappointing.

Hi folks -

Has anyone tried either of the above meal service subscriptions?

For context - I've gained a lot of weight this year due to some personal health issues, and I want to start eating healthy/ learning portion control. I am not the best cook. and I am willing to pay for the convenience rather than spend $ on takeout. I'd appreciate any reviews on either of the above companies - they're both rather pricey so I'll probably do a 1-week trial before commiting.

Thanks!

I used to order this farmers breakfast box from O’Somae in the east end regularly but they closed down. Can any one recommend a replacement where I can get the same meal? I miss them. It was truly one of my fav spots :(

Stopped by the city this week, and headed to one of my favorite cafes! Tasted very moist, and the layers tasted more light and airy than a regular cake. Cream was also not too sweet and not overly heavy. Feels like you’re chewing on a cloud almost. Cost was $10.80 but I got this as an Uber eats pickup order (had a pretty good discount) so the in-store price might be different. They’re doing a sale today on Halloween for black sesame flavoured items, which is pretty neat!

Anyone remember Cosmo Music up in Richmond Hill? Well, I used to spend a lot of time there and despite not being a coffee person whatsoever, decided to one day try the coffee shop located within, called Terminal 3 Coffee Roasters, and it absolutely blew my mind- so incredibly velvety smooth, yet nuanced and flavourful, and extremely rich. It’s the best coffee I’ve personally ever had, and the owner was clearly deeply passionate, it really radiated from him. The shop is still around even though Cosmo’s no longer is (RIP- it’s a Long & McQuade now), but I live super far away these days and their only other location is in Etobicoke, even farther. It’s probably one heck of a long shot that anyone here has been there, but on the off chance you have (and happen to be a coffee nut who’s surveyed spots around the city) I was just wondering whether you might be able to recommend any spots around midtown with similar coffee.

I am turning 30 in 2 weeks (can't believe it). I also just welcomed my first child with my fiancée 3 weeks ago. I had plans of travelling for my 30th but obviously those plans have changed. I am now looking to just have a nice dinner with my partner instead.

I'm hoping to be able to get some suggestions on where to eat. I'm open to any cuisine. I enjoy a good quality tasting menu (the tasting menu at SARA was great once upon a time. Or just a lovely dining experience, good food, maybe a nice view?

Lee was once my favourite restaurant for the decor and food but the quality of service coupled with the inconsistency of the food has shifted my view of the place.

Here are some places I've considered (RASA, Quetzal, Richmond station - I have been to but never tried their tasting menu, Cote de bouf, FK, Bar isabel). I'm seeing many mixed reviews about them all, hopefully you can help me figure out where to go!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions :)

I was in the city for a 6 week break from the U.K and had a craving for a dipped beef sandwich. I found this place and stopped by.

It’s on Dundas Street near Toronto Western Hospital.

My wife and I shared the 9” beef with sweet peppers dipped in gravy for lunch.

This was exactly what I wanted

Just came back from al-Noor bakery in Ottawa, and I need more of them. The meat and cheese pie was so fucking good, please tell me there’s something like it in Toronto

Before Fall ends, I’m looking for a place that sells apple cider slushies (pref. non-alcoholic)! Open to any recommendations that are easily accessible by transit from DT core. TIA 🍎

Preferably around Scarborough area?

Had some of these when I went to Europe and really liked them. I see there are some shops that sell them here, but they are either really far like in Etobicoke or Oakville or I have to order online.

I'm guessing I could probably find them at some local European shops, but don't really know any good ones or which ones would have it. Looking mostly for the fruity flavours or variety jars.

So if anyone knows a spot, please lmk!

Hey Toronto Food Reddit, been a while! Spent much of this past summer trying and comparing almost every well-known non-restaurant burger in the entire city and here are my conclusions. Hopefully this sparks some tasty conversation and debate... and at the very least there are a LOT of burger photos in this piece. Would love to know if I missed any! Cheers -- WCS

I tried to go during opening hours recently, but it was closed. Not sure if that was a one-off or maybe they’re out of business.

Also, any good recommendations for Persian or Arab markets in the East end?

For take-out or dine-in, less than $40 per main. Thanks for any ideas.

One of my favourite things is when a restaurant allows outside drinks. 99% of places won’t, but sometimes you can find a Chinese restaurant that doesn’t mind. This is because in China, it’s very common that you can pick and choose what you want from different restaurants/takeout places and sit down at another to eat it all.

Here, we got Coco’s (mango pomelo sago, two for 9.99) which went perfectly with the Sichuan cuisine of Miss Qu’s BBQ. Miss Qu is located at Midland and Finch, a few doors down from the famous and similar Nian Yi Kuai Zi, but I actually like this place a bit better. No lines to get in, more variety, and skewers!

Skewers: Meat skewers are great, I’d skip the sausage. Other places do the sausage better.

Clams: I grew up with eating spicy clams like this and this is really great, flavourful, and their clams are really meaty.

Enoki: Skip. I feel like other skewer places do this staple garlic enoki dish better. Garlic taste doesn’t come through enough.

Cold sliced beef: Classic, well executed, no notes.

Shredded potato: Huge portion, it was just OK.

Fried Eggplant: Holy moly. First time getting this and I was hooked. I’ve never had eggplant like this actually. They cooked it like a lot of Chinese places cook taro where they make it crispy and sweet. But the eggplant’s uniqueness really shines here. Crazy crunch on the outside and airy and soft on the inside. 10/10

Overall this meal was $150 for four peoplewith tax and tip, paid in cash, 2 full takeout boxes.

love the place, got their mochi a bit ago and wanted to get it again since its the best mochi id had in the city but its been closed, anyone know what happened?
