The Ewenwich was the best sandwich I've ever had and was great value as a lunch item, we even had leftovers. We toasted it in a pan when we got home for an extra level of crispiness. Don't miss out on this one! The crepes were more of what I would expect from an average place for a fair enough price, I would've appreciated more caramelization on the mushrooms and onions, as well as more cheese or greens to bind the filling together, but the accompanying side salad of the day was a nice touch and big enough to split! Restaurant experience: 5/5 Ewenwich: 5/5 Savoury crepes: 3.5/5

The counter service was quick, I ordered and was in and out in under 5 mins. Got lunch for two and it was about $32 CAD. Wouldn't hesitate to go here again, as their entire menu is healthy and fresh. Of course if you don't like any of their signature salads, you can create your own. Good soups as well, had their version of the French onion soup and it was also good. Definitely give this place a try if you tend to frequent Williams.

The opening of this restaurant…read morecontinues the trend of more restaurants opening up in KW that cater to the health conscious crowd. The ingredients used in the meals are fresh and mostly non processed with the exception of the protein options like wild salmon, tuna, etc. You can make a meal our of salad bowl, design your own wrap, select from one of their signature wraps, or select one of their sandwiches. I have had the tuna melt and found it satisfying. Similarly, I have tried the various salad bowls, signature wraps as well as custom wraps. If you are really hungry but still want a healthy meal, I recommend going for the wraps as the portions are a decent size. Everything I have had has tasted great and most importantly I have felt great after eating it! For the drinks, you have your regular sandwich shop options but this being a restaurant catering to the health conscious, you will find freshly squeezed juices as well. Depending on what you are having expect to pay up to $11-12 with tax for the food. The freshly squeezed juices go for around $7. They allow take out or sit in. The restaurant itself is clean and well appropriately decorated. The service staff has been friendly and courteous on all occasions without exception. Overall, this location is off to a great start and I hope they keep it at this level and get even better. Highly recommended!

Environment: The restaurant is located at the King/University plaza, where there are ample of parking space and really convenient for those taking the bus as well. The restaurant itself is clean, well lit, and has a few seats. It's best to come in a group of 4 of fewer if you plan on dining here. The decor seems to be going for a "bathroom chic" as described by my friend -- "4 stars - delicious food, feels like I'm in a bathroom"! Lol. It's mainly because of the tiles on the wall and the uncomfortable seats. Food: The BOGO special only allowed us to order from their special bowls so we tried the Big Umami (salmon + tuna) and the one with the Duck. Quantity wise the bowl seems to be good value given that it normally costs $15 per bowl. They put a generous amount of toppings on top of the rice and the flavour was good and the fish sashimi was quite fresh. Definitely no watery/soggy texture! The food also looks damn good with lots of colours, which not only is super appetizing but also so Insta worthy!! Service: Basically fast food McDonald like ordering, no table service. When we were lining up they got someone to hand us the big cardboard menu and explained to us how the ordering works. However...they somehow managed to messed up the order. I got the Big Umami with rice and only one of them had rice while the other one was mixed greens :( definitely a little too healthy for me.....

They have an afternoon tea set, which was highly recommended online and was the reason we stopped by. We got their high tea set. The aged cheddar pimento spread and curried chicken salad was my favourite dishes. The scones were moist and tasty along with the clotted cream. The sweets were my least favourite as it felt a bit generic and less exciting. Overall, most food was good and tea was pretty good. As there are many other tea house on the west side of GTA, I will unlikely return to this one. But it is definitely nice to try. I would recommend the Garden tea set as the sweets were my least favourite part of the experience.

This Freshii is in a small plaza with a limited number of parking spots. Folks need to look back before pulling out of a spot! As I was backing into one, a woman tried backing out, which could have hit my car! Luckily, nothing happened. There are a number of eateries here that cater to the university crowd. I walked in and had to wait before placing my order. There were three staff members working hard. I ordered a Zen bowl with tofu. It's essentially brown rice and a bunch of veggies in a green coconut curry sauce, sprinked with coconut flakes. I loved this bowl. It was light and flavourful. There was a lot of it. I actually saved half of it for dinner the following day. I'd come back here again, as it's fairly close to my hotel. Just take care when pulling in and out of the parking lot (246)

For my main I went with the Karaage fried chicken bento box which was a generous portion of chicken with a peanut crunch salad, "scattered" omelette sushi, pork and shrimp gyoza, and a side of miso soup. It was all SO good and SO much food! I was uncomfortably full by the time we finished and packed mine up to go (the chicken made an excellent midnight snack later that night when I had the munchies back at our apartment!) Price point is great, portions are generous, staff was lovely, and the space itself was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Can't ask for much more! We'll definitely be back!
