This is a new small food hall consisting of food stalls with food from several cuisines…read more The food stalls are: - Momo + Bao (Himalayan) - Just Curry (Asian curries) - SubG (vegetarian and vegan subs) - Burro Loco (burritos) - Spice Island (Caribbean) The concept behind this food hall is that each stall is supposed to be a classroom where the incubator students, fresh to Canada, learn the ropes of building a food business. They are guided by seasoned mentors. It turns out I've been to this food hall before! It used to be called FLIP Kitchen with totally different food stalls. There is no free WiFi. The food hall is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms upstairs, and they are wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2024-080

This afternoon, I was in the area to pick up an order at Cheese Garden. I happened to have parked…read morein front of Upper East Food Club. It was perfect to get some takeout at Pear, which is in Upper East Food Club. Think of Upper East Food Club as an intimate Asian food hall on Yonge Street. If you're a subway person, it's between Finch and North York Centre stations, with it being slightly closer to the latter. It currently has the following businesses: - Machi Machi - Cafe Bora - Alethea Flowers - Pear I had an excellent experience picking up takeout from Pear. Machi Machi was making drinks for a couple of customers when I was there. Alethea Flowers piqued my interest. It had the most beautiful displays of flowers, candles, and scents. Markham has an Alethea. I should check the place out sometime. I didn't check out Cafe Bora. It wasn't open for business. It's paid parking on Yonge Street. I used my Green P app to pay for parking. The parking patrol was out when I returned to my car from Cheese Garden. Alternatively, you can park on McKee Avenue. However, I don't know whether you need to pay for parking or if it's free for an hour. It's a cool concept that works. I'd come back to revisit Pear and stop by the other businesses. (53)

With the new renovations, this centre is looking promising…read more The food court itself has decent options. The lighting, I'm not sure if it's intentional but has bright a darker areas. You could say there are also communal tables. One thing I'm not a fan of is I can't see what's in the other side of the food court from one side to another. I would like to see all my options at once. Also, it would be good if the stairs on north side from the food court would allow me to get to second level (upstairs). The shops seem to show some promise with Miniso and Dollarama. Keep adding interesting shops and food options and I could bump it up a star.

They aren't actually a chain; they only have a few locations and they are all in Toronto. I've heard bad things about their other locations but my experience with the one at Lawrence Square can't be anything but positive. I ordered the orange chicken, BBQ pork and mushrooms on fried rice and split it with my brother. The BBQ pork was actually amazingly tender and juicy, and better than a lot of the ones I've had from asian grocery stores and chinese restaurants. The orange chicken was sweet and flavourful, and had a fantastically high meat to breading ratio. Everything was very tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed our box. The meal itself was only $10 (as of October 2018) and was enough to feed two big eaters; that's some great value! Overall, this place is definitely a winner in my book.

The food is actually fresh,…read morethey have a great selection of well seasoned meats and seafood and the quality of all the ingredients is really good. The fried chicken and fried fish are not overly breaded like 90% of Chinese fast food restaurants. I would highly recommend eating here if you find yourself at Lawrence Square.

Yonge Street Food Court is conveniently located right next to Finch Station. The food is delicious,…read morethe portions are generous, but unfortunately, the prices have crept up over the years (which is to be expected in this neighbourhood). The interior is very basic, offering a straightforward food court style. Whether you choose takeout or dine in, the experience is always solid, and the owner always greets customers with a smile. We're fond of their beef rice noodles -- a nice balance of noodles, beef, and bean sprouts, with a touch of wokhei and some umami. The fried rice dishes are also good.

I enjoy the Chow Gwai Dieu with the flat rice noodles, sizeable shrimps (for a casual takeout place) with curry powder. The Yeung Chow Fried Rice also has wok hei. I would've liked some peas or chopped green onions in it to add more flavour and make it more colourful. Hopefully the establishment reads this review and will add some !

This food court opened for business on January 7th, 2012. A few restaurants within the food court…read morehave continued to open in later weeks of January. As a new food court, this place is extremely busy. I'm not sure where all of these people are coming from or where they were eating before. None of the existing places nearby have had long lines, but the lines at every restaurant in this food court are extremely long. To avoid these lines, you'll need to come before 12 or after 1. Cleanliness and Appearance - This is a new food court, and as such is very clean. There appears to be people roaming around and quickly bussing tables. It's also bright and modern. It's not like some of those depressing underground food courts. Seating: - There is ample seating. Despite the large number of people buying food here, I didn't really notice lots of people wandering around trying to find seats. This is helped by the fact that most people here are bringing their food back to the office. Variety - As of the time of this review, the following restaurants are located in this food court: - Manchu Work - chinese fast food - California Thai - unfortunately, this isn't really Thai. Most of the food is greasy battered chicken. The menu is very similar to Manchu's Wok's. It's redundant, in my opinion. - Subway - Sbarro - Pasta and Pizza - Wasabi - A noodle place - Opa! Of Greece - La Prep - this isn't in the food court, but is directly across the hallway. They sell, wraps, sandwiches, salads, and things like that. - There is also a Starbucks location and another place called Cafe Palma in the same building. There is a Druxy's down the escalator. Overall, the variety is just ok. I'd prefer a true Thai place vs. California Thai, which is just a slightly better variation of Manchu Wok. I'd also like to see more healthy options. This food court is connected to the North York Centre subway station.

Its definitely a decent healthier alternative for those who are a bit more health conscious but want something quick and filling. However, not only did I find them to be quite cheap with the toppings but I found the prices to be a bit more pricey than I expected. On top of that, there was so many issues collecting and redeeming rewards points on their app, it made it quite frustrating to pay. All in all, I would probably try Z Teca again but at a different location.

It's super convenient and can be a one stop shop for many. There's a food court with tons of options for food, library, hotel, convenience store, banks, pharmacy, gym, car rental etc that are located in this building. Everything I mentioned is on the main floor/street level except for the subway, gym, car rental and the pharmacy as those are all on the lower level. There's escalators and elevators that'll take you to the different floors. I'd recommend the North York Centre to anyone in the area.

Disclaimer: this rating is modified to suit the perceived expectations of the typical mall goer as…read morecompared to a trip to other malls across the GTA. To be brutally honest ... it's actually a personal favourite - but as something more along the lines of a Public Service Announcement, I'd rather keep the consumer's expectations in check, and maybe let them be pleasantly surprised by what this modest mall has to offer. So. This is definitely a neighbourhood mall as opposed to a Destination Mall like Yorkdale or Square One. You have your No Frills supermarket; your Canadian Tire all purpose goods store; your Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy; and your Hudson's Bay department store, forming the cornerstones. Add to that, some solid amenities like a Fit for Less gym; a full service Pickle Barrel restaurant for your sit down meal and beverage needs; a Dollarama for your dollar store purchases; a full food court with many food outlets to choose from; and plenty of clothing, jewellery, and many more specialty shops to cover most items you might need. The washrooms used to be a dingy affair down in the basement but have been relocated and upgraded to the main floor. Nice improvement! You can also choose from a Tim Hortons takeaway counter, an open area Timothy's, a private company coffee counter, and a pretty nice self contained cafe called Dolce Camerata with its own outdoor patio space for plenty of cuppa Joe and snacks options. One of few remaining Ardene outlet stores is also still here. There are a lot of one-of type clothing stores with tons of low cost items, and a couple of shoe stores. There aren't a lot of chain stores, especially in the toiletries department so don't look in vain if you're hunting for Body Shop or Bath & Body Works items. In fact, you will find very few chain stores here, which is where it will likely fail the more demanding consumer. Great for every day needs. Beware the mall parking, which for some reason is inexplicably difficult to access and navigate in spite of a decent volume of parking spaces. Just don't expect to be wowed, and maybe you'll find a few unexpected, little surprises.

It's pretty much been the same over the past years, same mom and pop clothing stores, with a food court. I personally really like the shop with all the pretty dresses and handsome tuxedos for kids, they are super cute and very affordable! I would go into One's Better Living to browse around for home items/decors. A little sad that they don't have a legit bubble milk tea shop inside the mall.... just coffee and tea, Real Fruit, and a Freshly Squeeze (which did not open when I went). The newest addition would be K-Food Kitchen, right next to mall entrance #2, selling a variety of kimbab and fried chicken platters!
