What to Order
Pancakes
These aren't your typical pancakes; they're crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, and often described as the best in Toronto.
"THE PANCAKES, out of this world, very possibly the best I’ve had. I had to ask how they made them, they’re hard to describe, and it doesn’t make sense; crispy on the edges soft in the middle."
C Lopes
Hash Browns
These crispy potato bites are a standout side, praised for their perfect texture and addictive quality.
"Hashbrowns: 9.2/10 a near perfect crispy potato bite."
Maddison Wojtus
Banana Pudding
A highly recommended dessert that consistently delights, often described as a must-try to finish your meal.
"We wrapped things up with the Banana Pudding and Granny Yosh’s Milk & Cookies. I’m not even kidding, I could have taken a whole bag of those cookies home."
Darryl Mason
Breakfast Sandwich
This sandwich features a scallion milk bun, perfectly cooked egg, and tasty char siu sausage, making it a satisfying and flavorful choice.
"The breakfast sandwich was 10 times better than the ones you get at Tim Hortons. The hash brown and char siu sausage in the sandwich was so tasty."
Alice Kwan
Tokyo Caesar Salad
A unique take on a classic, this salad features furikake and a miso sesame citrus dressing, offering a fresh and crispy counterpoint to heavier dishes.
"We started with the General Tso’s Buffalo Wings and the Tokyo Caesar salad, the wings were crispier than most wing houses, and the salad with the furikake was chef’s kiss. Perfection."
Darryl Mason
General Tso’s Buffalo Wings
These wings are noted for being exceptionally crispy and generously sauced, often exceeding expectations for a diner.
"The best item IMO was the wings - so plump and generously sauced."
Sarah F
Tuna Melt
A well-executed comfort classic, this tuna melt is praised for its flavor and often includes chips inside for added texture.
"The real standouts for us though are the cheeseburger, the breakfast sandwich, and the tuna melt — all absolutely incredible."
