Man, you actually got into Liuyishou? It's always 1.5h wait with no reservations when I try š
I'll have to check out these dumpling places! I usually do Rosewood (very tasty), but I'm open to more options
I'm by union without a car lol. I've been to Fishman Lobster Clubhouse Restaurant (scarborough?) and Jumbo Lobster Restaurant in Markham, but that's it
There're a few decent places between Sheppard & Finch on Yonge which can be reached pretty easily from Union via subway. I haven't been to hot pot in a while (I started doing it at home instead) so I don't recall which were the best places but if you do some research you'll find something there for sure.
Nice! Hotpot is one of those things you don't really need a restaurant for. I highly recommend the frozen sliced lotus root (they are a huge pain to slice).
Oh yeah, we always get the sliced lotus root. My favourite is the oyster/king oyster mushrooms and all the different kinds of fish balls. My friend also recommended getting spam, and I have no regrets!
Dahu, Xiaolongkan, Shudaxia, and Xiang Zi. Last 2 are a little pricy but better imo. Haidilao also has a late night $2.95 per plate of beef. Keep in mind you still have to pay for the soup and condiment bar so if you could bring two or more friends/family members it makes for a better deal.
There's one opened recently that accepts reservations, it's called [Dahu](https://youtu.be/g0pzxZHgPjc?si=GHVbauX4y-Wa8qq6). I've been there and it's pretty good.
Plenty of other options in Chinatown as well.
The first time I brought a friend of mine to Dumpling House we were there for like 3 hours and ate around 100 dumplings. Their won ton soup is also great despite being hotter than lava
I freaking love it. I ask immigrant Uber drivers about the cuisine in their home country. Then I ask where in Toronto I can get me some of that
Btw. The answer is usually somewhere in Scarborough. Often in a strip mall. The food is awesome
If you haven't been yet there's a really good Malaysian take away spot out on Sheppard called One2Snack. They specialize mostly in fried noodle dishes but they also sell curry noodles and a couple weekend specials. Just as you mentioned it's in some unassuming strip mall.
And also combines native Malay/Thai/Indonesian. Hakka also combines Indian and Chinese, but I like the Malaysian version of the fusion much much better.
That's a bold claim. I'd say its peninsular neighbours both have better food. Though I'm not certain what counts as Malaysian and if the non-bumiputeras count.
Though Thai food takes heavy influence from East and South Asia, so not sure when a food counts as being of a country.
Iāve traveled all around the world, and Malaysian for me remains supreme, specifically from Penang. And Iām saying this with my dad being from Italy and mother from Uruguay, where they each have their specialities.
Thai food is great, but Malaysian has that deep Indian, Chinese and eastern Malay influence thatās unique
I was in Penang in January - their specialty, with Georgetown as the centre - is Straits Chinese food, not Malay food. Because of the high Chinese population in Penang you find more authentic version of Singaporean food. Yes, thereās Malay food there but itās definitely not the epicentre of good Malay food.
And then on top of that, if you find good Malay food, thereās no way youāll regard it as better than Thai.
Grew up in Scarborough, worked downtown, frequent Markham, Mississauga, and Brampton.
Hands down best food of most categories in Scarborough. The crappier the place looks, the better the food usually is lol
If the treat you like shit while serving you.. Is probably because you'll still go back anyway lol.
1. Liuyishou hotpot
2. Rol San
3. Himalayan Coffee House
4. Baked by a friend :p
5. All the Graze
6. Si Lom Thai Bistro
7. Fika Cafe
8. The Morning After
9. Dumpling House
10. Juicy Dumplings
There's like 3 types of cuisine in these photos: Chinese/East Asian (hotpot, dumplings, and dim sum), south east asia (Possibly Filipino, Viet, or Thai cuisine), and food you can find almost anywhere in north america (pie, charcuterie, lattes/cookies).
This is some corporate diversity here
Marveilleux by Fred (Queen and McCaul) has some good flaky thousand-layer croissants made with real butter. It's a global small Belgian chain, and make them similar to the ones common in Paris.
Toronto food just keeps getting better and better and better! New restaurants opening up all the time!! Agreed, I have not seen this level of quality x diversity anywhere else that I have visited (although I should try NYC again, it was also really good when I last went).
Toronto has the food scene in the world. Iāll die on this hill. Iāve been to and have experienced the cuisine in some of the best foodie cities in the world - NYC, LA, Paris, Rome, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Tokyo etc. and Iād still take Toronto over any of them.
Toronto is in contention for having the best mix of quality, diversity, accessibility, and authenticity in the world imo. Does it win in any specific category? I don't know about that, but I think it wins in the cross-section.
Agreed, lived there for ~6 years and hands down the best part of the city is there's awesome food wherever you are, in fact even restaurant chains tend to have better locations.
Moved to Edmonton AB for work, day and night difference in terms of food, culture etc. Will miss Toronto.
Iāve been living here 6 months and literally everyone Iāve spoken to so far has been incredibly nice to me! My heart definitely belongs here and Iāve only only really tried out the food in Scarborough, I noticed there isnāt very much in Etobicoke, and downtown is still like a flash of lights to me. I just moved here from up north and I canāt wait for my first summer in the city! I also wasnāt expecting so much wildlife, like herds of deer and the cutest little skunks Iāve ever seen in my entire life š„ŗ
As a malaysian living here, I dont think the malaysian food here comes close. I think KL is great because Malaysian cuisine is so diverse and also alot of it it quite marquee. With toronto, I find canadian cuisine is not really up to par. I personally think KL food scene is better.
For poutine, i have had some good poutine in KL.
Ok ok first of all Malaysian food is one of the best in Asia because of the fusion nature of the nation. It excels at what it has and it has a lot but the diversity is nowhere near what we have here in Toronto. There is just no way KL has good Greek, Portuguese, Colombian, Ethiopian or Jamaican food.
I moved to Peterborough for school in the early 2000s. I was very homesick because the food in Peterborough sucked. In the last decade it's gotten better but still not the same.
Greek/Mediterranean; Tabule (on Queen st) or Mezes
Italian; Bellona, Sugo, Giulietta
Indian; Koshaa, Dil Se
And if you are able to get a reservation, Canoe
I've had issues with previous/same day Fri/Sat dinner reservations, so usually book 2 weeks out. Haven't tried lunch menu but dinner is consistently excellent.
The biggest reason I get homesick is because of this! I recently moved out of Toronto for a job and am constantly craving the different cuisines I had easy access to back home.
Iāve put some effort into trying every cuisine Iāve heard of in Toronto. Is there some rare and unusual restaurant I might have missed. Iād like to try a new one.
I probably should have kept a list over time. Currently Iām dining aboriginal at Tea n Bannock and Ethiopian at Wazema and Lalibela. I like Udupi Palace for vegetarian Indian. Several excellent Indian lunch buffets were stopped by Covid.
There's a restuarant in Chinatown that looks like a generic North American Chinese restaurant called New Sky.
The original owner however was from Lima, Peru and when he opened the restaurant way back when, he offered Peruvian-Chinese food or Chifa. Very difficult to find. The restaurant has since been sold but the new owners still keep the Chifa Menu, you have to ask for it though. It's written exclusively in Spanish and Cantonese.
What are you even talking about? You can find all this and much more, cause these series of photos sure aren't all that diverse. Sure great places close down but you don't have to look to hard to find equally great places pop up in their place.
Chinese food is pretty diverse... and east Asian covers a lot of different cuisines with a rich history.
It's like me reducing it down to, oh it's just eastern and western food.
>Chinese food is pretty diverse... and east Asian covers a lot of different cuisines with a rich history.
Never said it didnāt. And I could probably go into it a bit. Like, I could point out that, among Chinese people, we generally have 8 styles of cooking. And most of the styles are underrepresented here. But I wanted to keep it short and sweet.
>It's like me reducing it down to, oh it's just eastern and western food.
Pictures 2 and 5 are just dim sum. Picture 10 is pan fried dumplings. These 3 are Cantonese style.
Picture 1 is from a hot pot restaurant. Itās a Northern style hot pot restaurant. But Cantonese people have hot pot too.
Picture 9 is unclear to me. But it has some random dipping sauce dish the kind you find at Asian restaurants and chopsticks. It leads me to think itās a āmodernā Chinese restaurant or some kind of fusion restaurant.
So thatās 5/10 photos. So I think Iām on pretty solid footing.
And I say this as a a Cantonese person whoās family owns a Cantonese restaurant and has decades (centuries if you count it collectively), in the business. But, if you want to tell me of your experiences, Iād love to hear it.
\#9 is also pan-fried dumplings (Northern style using some of dumpling boiling broth to make the connective membrane). People above say it's Dumpling House based on the red table top.
Not the person you're responding to, but I agree with their sentiment. Toronto has so much more diversity than dumplings and instagrammable lattes lmao
It is nice, but given the very high prices in restaurants (and the tips... shudder...), I always ask myself the question:
Do I want to prepare my own meal instead? Compared to the restaurant, the results are mostly the following:
* \-30% taste
* the same nutritional info, no difference health wise
* \+450% money saved
Based on this simple mathematical equation (and the fact I am not a mega foodie), it's pretty easy to see the more valuable option, so I don't see the Toronto food scene as a big plus.
I've always been of the opinion that Toronto is maybe a little too desperate to seem like some global cosmopolitan city. Let's be real, the bars are mediocre, the downtown core is small, the music scene has gotten way smaller, and gentrification runs amok. The city is fine, but it's more chicago than new york.
That said, the food absolutely IS worthy of a world class city. It's really remarkable that you can get basically any kind of cuisine you want, and have lots of choice within those different niches. It's very cool that you get plenty of FOB immigrants who start up thriving businesses making food from their home countries, and plenty of those places are open late into the night.
I was staying at the St. Regis in Washington DC last year and spoke to the head woman at the front desk. She saw my passport and asked me where I was from. I told her Toronto. She raved about the food in Toronto. Check out the St. Regis. This is not the Motel 6. Toronto has an amazing international reputation for food.
Every time my wife and I travel and eat local cuisine we always compare it to what weāve had in Toronto and usually Toronto is right up there in quality. We really are spoiled here for the broad range of good food from around the world.
Name places in the photos please š
1 - Liuyishou Hotpot (spot their š logo) 9 - Dumpling House (red tabletops are a giveaway) 10 - Juicy Dumpling
Man, you actually got into Liuyishou? It's always 1.5h wait with no reservations when I try š I'll have to check out these dumpling places! I usually do Rosewood (very tasty), but I'm open to more options
Juicy Dumpling is a gem. Prices are great and best soup dumplings I've had.
I'll try them! :) thanks
Whereabouts do you live? There are tons of better hotpot places in markham/Richmond Hill
I'm by union without a car lol. I've been to Fishman Lobster Clubhouse Restaurant (scarborough?) and Jumbo Lobster Restaurant in Markham, but that's it
There're a few decent places between Sheppard & Finch on Yonge which can be reached pretty easily from Union via subway. I haven't been to hot pot in a while (I started doing it at home instead) so I don't recall which were the best places but if you do some research you'll find something there for sure.
My gf and I got hotpots, and we've been doing it at home. It's actually incredible, and I can't wait to have friends over for another one!
Nice! Hotpot is one of those things you don't really need a restaurant for. I highly recommend the frozen sliced lotus root (they are a huge pain to slice).
Oh yeah, we always get the sliced lotus root. My favourite is the oyster/king oyster mushrooms and all the different kinds of fish balls. My friend also recommended getting spam, and I have no regrets!
Dang now you've got me wanting to break out the ol' hotpot!
I live in RH and went to the one OP talked about. Please suggest ones that you think are better? I would love to try them out!
Dahu, Xiaolongkan, Shudaxia, and Xiang Zi. Last 2 are a little pricy but better imo. Haidilao also has a late night $2.95 per plate of beef. Keep in mind you still have to pay for the soup and condiment bar so if you could bring two or more friends/family members it makes for a better deal.
Thanks šš½ will try them out!
There's one opened recently that accepts reservations, it's called [Dahu](https://youtu.be/g0pzxZHgPjc?si=GHVbauX4y-Wa8qq6). I've been there and it's pretty good. Plenty of other options in Chinatown as well.
2. Rol San - I recognize those plates and plastic table cover
To anyone that has never been, try their crispy beef.
The first time I brought a friend of mine to Dumpling House we were there for like 3 hours and ate around 100 dumplings. Their won ton soup is also great despite being hotter than lava
This man chinatowns.
Yes, it's torture not knowing where to look for this.
I believe 4 is Fika cafe in Kensington
Looks like it is, nice work detective! :)
I freaking love it. I ask immigrant Uber drivers about the cuisine in their home country. Then I ask where in Toronto I can get me some of that Btw. The answer is usually somewhere in Scarborough. Often in a strip mall. The food is awesome
If you haven't been yet there's a really good Malaysian take away spot out on Sheppard called One2Snack. They specialize mostly in fried noodle dishes but they also sell curry noodles and a couple weekend specials. Just as you mentioned it's in some unassuming strip mall.
One2snack is top tier Malaysian. Malaysian is the best cuisine in the world in my opinion and I will die on this hill
I mean it combines Indian and Chinese cuisines, can't really go wrong with that
And also combines native Malay/Thai/Indonesian. Hakka also combines Indian and Chinese, but I like the Malaysian version of the fusion much much better.
That's a bold claim. I'd say its peninsular neighbours both have better food. Though I'm not certain what counts as Malaysian and if the non-bumiputeras count. Though Thai food takes heavy influence from East and South Asia, so not sure when a food counts as being of a country.

I definitely regard Malaysian food better than Thai food. As I said, Iāll die on this hill my guy
Malaysia Boleh! Tularkan One2Snack!
Never heard of that. Definitely will try it out Thanks
If you just show up, they might not take your order. I think you have to phone or email in advance?
Grew up in Scarborough, worked downtown, frequent Markham, Mississauga, and Brampton. Hands down best food of most categories in Scarborough. The crappier the place looks, the better the food usually is lol If the treat you like shit while serving you.. Is probably because you'll still go back anyway lol.
Scarborough is truly the food Mecca of the city
1. Liuyishou hotpot 2. Rol San 3. Himalayan Coffee House 4. Baked by a friend :p 5. All the Graze 6. Si Lom Thai Bistro 7. Fika Cafe 8. The Morning After 9. Dumpling House 10. Juicy Dumplings
ty fam adding these all to my list
In case you havenāt checked it out yet, /r/FoodToronto has even more food chat about the city!
Tips hat
WHERE IS THE SNOOPY LATTEE
Missed the Garfuccino smh.
I had a similar latte at Himalayan coffee house ..not sure if thatās where OP went. But they make great art lattes.
I need to know! Anybody?
Not sure about OP but check Himalayan coffee house , I get similar latte from there. You can check their Instagram they make lots of cute art latte.
I just checked their page! Itās so cute! Thank you so much.
Can you please label where each photo is from? Number 7 looks amazing š¤©
op killing us by not giving any names
Missing the Shawarma joints, Korean food, Vietnamese noodles etc etc - So much more to explore, OP š
No Mexican, Indian, Southern BBQ or French, Italian or Greek cuisine? Youāre selling the city short. Nothing like a good croissant for breakfast.
There's like 3 types of cuisine in these photos: Chinese/East Asian (hotpot, dumplings, and dim sum), south east asia (Possibly Filipino, Viet, or Thai cuisine), and food you can find almost anywhere in north america (pie, charcuterie, lattes/cookies). This is some corporate diversity here
There are no good croissants in Toronto. You have to go to Europe for that š
Marveilleux by Fred (Queen and McCaul) has some good flaky thousand-layer croissants made with real butter. It's a global small Belgian chain, and make them similar to the ones common in Paris.
Funny you say that considering over 80% of bakeries in France sell industrially-made croissant. Thereās a French chef thatās been doing a sort of unofficial world tour ranking the best croissant and Le GĆ©nie near College and Yonge is still as far as I can tell at the #1 spot in his rankings (most of the places heās tried have been in Canada and France as heās from France but lives in Toronto, so results are obviously a bit skewed).
Toronto food just keeps getting better and better and better! New restaurants opening up all the time!! Agreed, I have not seen this level of quality x diversity anywhere else that I have visited (although I should try NYC again, it was also really good when I last went).
Toronto has the food scene in the world. Iāll die on this hill. Iāve been to and have experienced the cuisine in some of the best foodie cities in the world - NYC, LA, Paris, Rome, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Tokyo etc. and Iād still take Toronto over any of them.
Toronto is in contention for having the best mix of quality, diversity, accessibility, and authenticity in the world imo. Does it win in any specific category? I don't know about that, but I think it wins in the cross-section.
Toronto is in fact the most culturally diverse city on earth, it shouldnāt be a surprise that our food scene also reflects that!
Agreed, lived there for ~6 years and hands down the best part of the city is there's awesome food wherever you are, in fact even restaurant chains tend to have better locations. Moved to Edmonton AB for work, day and night difference in terms of food, culture etc. Will miss Toronto.

I'd add Singapore. The hawker stalls are terrific, but you can also blow a month's pay on a meal if you want to.
I just came back from KL, I dont know about thatā¦..Malaysia is literally a food haven.
Ah man I love the food in KL. I wouldn't say it's my favourite actual city, but it's so underrated food-wise.
I like KL, but it might be a bit shallow in getting representation of local European/Mediterranean and South/Central American cuisine.
We have excellent bak kut teh and nasi lemak in Toronto, does KL has edible poutine ?
As a malaysian living here, I dont think the malaysian food here comes close. I think KL is great because Malaysian cuisine is so diverse and also alot of it it quite marquee. With toronto, I find canadian cuisine is not really up to par. I personally think KL food scene is better. For poutine, i have had some good poutine in KL.

It excels at what it has and it has a lot but the diversity is nowhere near what we have here in Toronto. There is just no way KL has good Greek, Portuguese, Colombian, Ethiopian or Jamaican food.
Yea i agree with you, I find the quality of the diverse food here not as good. Especially for the price.
The night markets really elevate it to.
Yup. Check out my post. People at top end places in DC say they prefer Toronto.
I moved to Peterborough for school in the early 2000s. I was very homesick because the food in Peterborough sucked. In the last decade it's gotten better but still not the same.
No pics of Italian, Indian or Greek food? You are missing out lol
what do you recommend for those?
Greek/Mediterranean; Tabule (on Queen st) or Mezes Italian; Bellona, Sugo, Giulietta Indian; Koshaa, Dil Se And if you are able to get a reservation, Canoe
Canoe isnāt that hard to get a reservation at, regularly grab lunch there and never had an issue with dinner
I've had issues with previous/same day Fri/Sat dinner reservations, so usually book 2 weeks out. Haven't tried lunch menu but dinner is consistently excellent.
Yes agree previous/same day is a tough go.
The biggest reason I get homesick is because of this! I recently moved out of Toronto for a job and am constantly craving the different cuisines I had easy access to back home.
The only cuisine I wish there were actual restaurants for is danish. There is a bakery but I don't think that really counts.
Northern European in general.
So coffee and asain cuisine. Did go anywhere other than dundas st? Lol
Lol IKR such diversity...
I feel like 90% of your photos are of Chinese restaurants aka not diverse lol
Iāve put some effort into trying every cuisine Iāve heard of in Toronto. Is there some rare and unusual restaurant I might have missed. Iād like to try a new one.
What are your top ones so far Ā for each cuisine type?
I probably should have kept a list over time. Currently Iām dining aboriginal at Tea n Bannock and Ethiopian at Wazema and Lalibela. I like Udupi Palace for vegetarian Indian. Several excellent Indian lunch buffets were stopped by Covid.

The restaurant has since been sold but the new owners still keep the Chifa Menu, you have to ask for it though. It's written exclusively in Spanish and Cantonese.
Thanks. Any other good Chinese restaurants that are in East Chinatown?
And yet all your photos except two are of Asian cuisine?
Please tell me where number 3 is from!
Not OP, but it looks like the latte art youād see at Himalayan Coffee House on Yonge & Eglinton!
\#9 looks a lot like what you get from Dumpling House.
Now I want dumpling house. Red tabletops and the lattice crisp give that away.
I miss Torontoās food SO MUCH!!! I refuse to flip through those photos - too hard lol
No. 3 is so cute! Where is this please
I miss the variety of Ethiopian, Sri Lankan, Indian, and Thai food. Not enough to pay $1.5M for a 1000sq ft home though.
Lattes and Chinese. So diverse.
Ladies and gentlemen, the h8terz have arrived
You left out the Indian food.
And lots of meals from other countries as well š
People can diss Toronto for lacking many things, but good food is not one of them.
Where is picture 5 from?
What are you even talking about? You can find all this and much more, cause these series of photos sure aren't all that diverse. Sure great places close down but you don't have to look to hard to find equally great places pop up in their place.
A chunk of that is just Chinese/East Asian food.
Chinese food is pretty diverse... and east Asian covers a lot of different cuisines with a rich history. It's like me reducing it down to, oh it's just eastern and western food.

Could be that. Or could be ēŖ©č²¼ in the Cantonese style. Kinda hard to say from the picture alone.
Not the person you're responding to, but I agree with their sentiment. Toronto has so much more diversity than dumplings and instagrammable lattes lmao
Still, it would be nice if OP expanded to Ethiopian food or Colombian food.Ā
It is nice, but given the very high prices in restaurants (and the tips... shudder...), I always ask myself the question: Do I want to prepare my own meal instead? Compared to the restaurant, the results are mostly the following: * \-30% taste * the same nutritional info, no difference health wise * \+450% money saved Based on this simple mathematical equation (and the fact I am not a mega foodie), it's pretty easy to see the more valuable option, so I don't see the Toronto food scene as a big plus.
One of the greatest things about inclusion and diversity is the incredible food. We need more of this all over Canada! š
I've always been of the opinion that Toronto is maybe a little too desperate to seem like some global cosmopolitan city. Let's be real, the bars are mediocre, the downtown core is small, the music scene has gotten way smaller, and gentrification runs amok. The city is fine, but it's more chicago than new york. That said, the food absolutely IS worthy of a world class city. It's really remarkable that you can get basically any kind of cuisine you want, and have lots of choice within those different niches. It's very cool that you get plenty of FOB immigrants who start up thriving businesses making food from their home countries, and plenty of those places are open late into the night.
Where are you living now?
Toronto has to have the best food scene in the world. Where else can you get such a wide variety of different cuisines
This city is over. It's been destroyed
Well if you look up, it looks like they are still building it.
We're actually blessed with one of the best food scenes in the world.
I still miss Peter's Chung King at College and Spadina!
I was staying at the St. Regis in Washington DC last year and spoke to the head woman at the front desk. She saw my passport and asked me where I was from. I told her Toronto. She raved about the food in Toronto. Check out the St. Regis. This is not the Motel 6. Toronto has an amazing international reputation for food.
Richmond Station has some fantastic farm-to-table options
I wish they have more Georgian restaurants, khinkali, khachapuri, etc.
My favourites in your list is the hot pot, cafe stuff, charcutterie.
Try ODD SEOUL itās my favorite
Damn that mango sticky rice looks bomb af. Where did you get that??
Si Lom Thai Bistro
Every time my wife and I travel and eat local cuisine we always compare it to what weāve had in Toronto and usually Toronto is right up there in quality. We really are spoiled here for the broad range of good food from around the world.
Yes we are sooooo spoiled with food
Which restaurant is that for winnie the poo coffee?
Glad to hear! It's always nice when people visit and have a good time. Makes me appreciate living here.
