    a plate of food
    Diana N.

    I went with a group of 5 and was able to snag one of the last open tables around 7. We ordered the following to split: Salmon tataki Sea bream ceviche Grilled lemongrass Cornish hen Thai curry vegetables Arctic char ceviche Inari sushi with mushrooms Steamed rice All were absolutely amazing (favorites were ceviche, Cornish hen, and curry). Our waiter was very attentive and was great at recommending items as well as listing gluten free items. I wish I had the space for dessert because I'm sure it would have been phenomenal.

    Small but busy place

    Another tiny little place with tremendous food, in this case Asian fusion sharing plates. We had 5 different items plus desert which was more than enough. We had dumplings, spring rolls, a terrific salmon salad, a beef curry and spicy shrimp. Desert was deep fried banana dumplings with chocolate. Huge wine list. No reservations and not a lot of seats so be prepared for a wait on busier nights.

    This place is heavenly, solid 4.5 star. Wandered in here on a Friday night with no reservation. The place is tiny and a lot of the tables are quite shit (tiny high round tables barely big enough to fit your meal). We ended up sitting at the bar as there's actually more space there than some of the tables. I would possibly upgrade this place to a 5 star if the seating was a bit better, because the food is brilliant! The menu is a large (40-50 item) list of tapas style food, modern but everything has an asian twist. This is a good place to eat if you are looking for a low carb meal, because nearly everything is seafood or meat and a few salad and vegetable selections. No rice/pasta dishes anywhere on the menu, although some of the curries do come served with plain rice. The price point is really quite reasonable considering the food quality, dishes starting at $5-$6 for soups and salads, all the way up to $20ish for heavy meat and more expensive types of fish. Lots and lots of wines but no cocktail selection (boo) We tried: Kale salad with pescorino toscano and lemon dressing ($8) Vegetable salad fresh spring rolls ($6) Lamb and duck prosciutto dumplings ($7) Grilled lemongrass cornish hen ($12) Grilled side-ribs with caramelized shallot glaze ($9) Grilled hanger steak with chimichurri ($17) The side-ribs are RIDICULOUS, must have them again. The kale salad was amazing too. 6 dishes was too much for 2 people, 4-5 dishes would have been plenty. The bill for 2 was still only $120 with tax and tip, including the 6 dishes, lots of leftovers, and 3 glasses of wine. Our bartender/server was awesome too. Will totally be back here!

    Followed a recommendation from friends of mine to check out this little spot. I was dining solo and it really was the perfect place to do so. Foxleys is very easy to miss as the lettering is fairly small and being a bistro it's pretty tiny in size as well. Street parking only. I had to do four loops around the block on a Thursday night around 8 and was able to parallel across the street. The entrance way was a tad confusing. You couldn't see in through the front door and when you did open the door up, you had to guess which way to turn. I ventured to the left and was enclosed in this black curtain. At first I thought maybe they were closed because I couldn't understand why a place would have guests walk into an enclosed curtain. I literally felt like I was in a shower or behind a stage and just didn't know where to turn to break free or break in. I kind of poked my finger around and found an opening, thank goodness. For the claustrophobic out there, you would not have been happy with the situation. Immediately after finding my way, I saw a sign that said, 'Please wait to be seated.' A gentleman immediately noticed me and I asked if it was okay to sit at the bar, at which point he said of course and I took a seat. There were about two other two tops seated and one other person at the bar when I arrived. The interior is beautiful, but very small. Exactly what I would have pictured from the description my friends gave me being a bistro with tapas. I was given a wine list which was extensive for bottle purposes but I was wildly underwhelmed with the selection they offered by the glass. Only four reds to choose from, none of which really tickled my fancy. That was a little disappointing to start off the night. If you are dining with friends however, enormous selection. I went with a glass of Sangiovese, too fruit forward and acidic for my palate, my own fault though because that's exactly what a Sangiovese should be. It was $13 for a glass. I was eager to check out the menu, as the place was described as, "Asian Fusion." Was it? I didn't really think so. The gentleman assisting me was the same who greeted me at the door. He was very friendly and thoroughly described all of the specials to me in detail. There was another man who didn't utter a word to me the entire time I was there. I don't know if he was the manager or another bartender but I was alone, in a chatty mood and it wasn't being reciprocated, oh well. I took a look at the menu and it was too much to handle. It was a giant list of "tapas" but no organization, no classifications, no grouping, just one giant list. It was overwhelming. I wish it had been separated into you know, 'salads' 'ceviche' 'meat' something like that. I was all over the place. They had tapas for 9 bucks and some for 22 so I was curious about the different sizes. The bartender told me that most people go with 2 or 3 tapas. I inquired about the seaweed salad and the bartender told me that the kale one was better. Awesome. I love a good recommendation. I got the kale salad and it was ready within 5 minutes. It was BIG. I was shocked at the size of it, biggest small plate I had ever seen. It was a mountain of shredded kale topped with a hearty amount of pecorino romano cheese in a lemon dressing. It was also topped with some fried onions. The salad was TO DIE FOR. Seriously unbelievable combination of flavors, filled me up too, I just wanted more and more and more. It was served with chopsticks, which may have amused others if they happened to catch a glimpse of me mid bite. The bartender tried to push the ceviche on me in a completely polite way. He said that's what they were known for but I wasn't feeling that adventurous. Again, I didn't know where to go next, chicken? short ribs? pork? skate? veggie dish? There were so many options, which sounds great, but needed a little organization. Menus need to be visually stimulating to guests I think and this wasn't. I kept looking at the guy sitting at the bar next to me to see what he was ordering because he looked pretty content. Turns out he had chosen the pork side ribs with a caramel shallot glaze. I'll have what he's having. The pork took a long time and then some to come out. There were so few people in the place I was surprised it was taking so long for one dish. Finally they came out and they looked unbelievably delicious. Turns out, they weren't great. There were SO many bones and hard pieces at one point I actually swallowed one and was praying someone knew the heimlich for when it caught in my esophagus. Thankfully with the super attentive bartender who was on his water refilling game, there was enough fluid for it to go down. The sauce was great but there was WAY too much of it, couldn't catch the real flavor of the pork. There was probably only an ounce and a half of actual meat I was able to eat. Most of it was incredibly fatty. Overall experience was good enough. Restroom not handicap accessible, located in the basement.

    Lamb and duck prosciutto gyozas
    Janice K.

    Oh Foxley, we had such a wonderful time with you. Came here to on a Wednesday night to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and got seated in my favourite spot in any restaurant - at the bar. I love sitting at the bar because water service is frequently on point, you can observe the on goings of the open kitchen (if there is one), watch the bartenders in action and converse with the servers. Also, I love to sit right beside my company. Protip: bar seats are great if you're on a date, an accidental thigh bump or intentional arm graze helps heat up the evening. What we ate: - Lamb and duck prosciutto gyozas (4/5) - Boiled then pan fried Asian style dumplings. The lamb has delightfully gamey and the soup inside the dumplings had a sweet tone. Minor bump in rating because two of our dumplings had punctured skins. - Salmon tataki with avocado salad (5/5) - A special for the night; my saliva glands are raging as I'm recalling the tastes in this dish. Thick slices of salmon with perfectly seared edges and a raw middle served on a bed of arugula salad mixed in wasabi mayo dressing. I'm underselling this dish, there was a gingery kicker in the salad dressing and all I remember was the party happening in my mouth. Order this if you see it on the special's menu. - Grilled hanger steak with chimichurri (4/5) - Solid piece of meat. Chimichurri was a nice topping to the meat. Tender cut of steak, however a few slices required a few too many chews. - Grilled pike mackerel (5/5) - We love mackerel, this was grilled and seasoned simply. Our server helped us debone the spine before diving in. It was light and flaky. - Ginger molasses pork side ribs (5/5)- There were so many great choices on the menu we couldn't decide and asked our server to pick a meat dish for us. This was our "surprise" dish from the kitchen. Sweet, gingery molasses smeared on fall off the bone pork side ribs. It was the perfect sweet and savory way to end our meal. These bad boys aren't on the menu, so put in a friendly request! Our server Yvan (not pounced Y-van or E-van, but Yvan like Ivan with a French flair), was absolutely fantastic. He helped us decide what to order, provided killer recommendations and surprised us with special dishes when our taste buds were indecisive. We ended the night off with trading a list of our favourite eateries. Can't wait to try these next. Eat here! Summary: Food (4.5/5) - See ratings above. Service (10/10) - knowledgeable, friendly, entertaining and warm servers - restaurants should follow the hospitality of the servers here at Foxley. Atmosphere (10/10) - Hip interior design with an exposed brick accent wall. Lots of tables for two, great for a date spot. Groups of 2+ are possible, could be a slight wait for groups larger than 4. Oh did I say...Eat here!

    Kale salad . Good.

    Foxley - Toronto. Great restaurant, food and nice back patio. Sea beam ceviche, kale salad and lamb and duck dumplings . Pom Pom Pomegranate Gin.

    Slow braised pork belly

    A charming and underrated spot in the middle of Ossington. Our visit was off to a sour start when one of the female servers gave us attitude about standing in the way of the entrance while waiting for our table. Nonetheless after killing time at another nearby bar, our table was ready and we were promptly seated. Our server was wonderful at explaining in great detail each unique dish- we went with his recommendation and ordered the tuna ceviche (I could not stop embarrassingly licking the plate). Other items we ordered were the frog legs, sea bream ceviche, lamb and duck proscuitto dumplings, chicken wings, pork belly, beef short ribs, hanger steak and the sauteed asian greens. All dishes arrived in really awkward intervals. Some mains were served first, some appetizer orders had to be gently reminded and our forgotten sauteed greens arrived 20 minutes after we finished our meal. It appeared they were pumping out the dishes as they were made, but it made the dining experience annoyingly tantalizing. Next time I would pass on the dumplings (not worth writing home about as you can only taste the flavour of lamb), the hanger steak was dry and tough, the frog legs were quite soggy (while the sauce was amazing), and the sauteed asian greens (baby bok choy with bland sauce)- other mentioned items were delicious and I would recommend them. Service was great, drinks were constantly refilled and empty dishes were swiftly taken away. Drink list was just alright, we ordered a red for the table and a few drafts of Estrella beer. Wish they had some better drink options but our dinner was pretty solid.

    I was referred this place from a couple of people & was very excited to try some Viet-Thai cuisine where the words "Pho" or "Bun" appear in the venue name or menu. I wasn't surprised however when I scanned the menu. It wasn't traditional Viet or Thai. More rather a fusion of Viet & Thai flavors with French dishes. (Hey I said "Surprised" not "Disappointed") Now I was told that the place is a tapas style venue but do they have to serve everything that way?! What do I mean? If they're going to offer me beer in the tall can give me a TALL PINT glass. Not a kiddie cup smaller than my water glass! (yes my friend & I got a lil chuckle from that as well) I took everyone's recommendation of ordering the Wild Arctic Char & that was so yummy! In addition to we ordered the Lamb & Duck Dumplings. A lil word from the wise: Just pour the dipping sauce over the dumplings! It truly works better. We also had the Giant Quail; where it was nicely deboned but lacked flavor. It needed a caramelization of some sort. But the salad bed it was served on was very Vietnamese. Frogs legs were perfectly done. The light tempura batter kept it moist & tender. Literally fall off the bone! Mussels were mediocre nothing too exciting. One dish we saw every other table ordering were the Blue Crab Salad. It's server in a half fresh Avocado. Something to consider for next visit! So, 4 beers & 5 tapas plus a side of rice came to about a brown note. Not bad. Well stuffed & very satisfied! I know a few has commented on service; I had no problems whatsoever. Friendly & quick. Food was very well timed & never overwhelmed the tiny table with too many plates.ok

    Braised ribs are amazing!

I also loved the potato dumplings.. crisp on the outside, but soft and pleasantly chewy inside, with a very smooth texture. The arugula salad was a great complement and added a nice fresh balance to the meal. The real standout for me, though, was the kalbi. It was incredibly tender and full of rich flavor. It almost melted in the mouth, with that satisfying buttery, savory richness that meat lovers would definitely appreciate. The cocktails were also fun and well done. I tried a few, and all of them were enjoyable. Some even had a smoky presentation, which made the experience feel a little more special. The service was another strong point. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the dinner feel smooth from start to finish. Everything came out at a comfortable pace, and the overall hospitality really added to the experience. As for the ambience, it felt stylish, intimate, and a little moody in a good way. The lighting and presentation gave the dinner a polished feel, but it was still relaxed enough to enjoy comfortably. It's the kind of place that works well for a casual date night, drinks with friends, or simply a nice evening out.

This is the American-Japanese izakaya at its most considered: a place where the concept feels genuinely inhabited rather than merely adopted. The room is intimate and unhurried, possessed of the kind of mood lighting that flatters both the food and the conversation. The atmosphere skews decidedly hipster in the best sense -- effortlessly cool without tipping into affectation. Noise levels remain convivial rather than oppressive, making it well-suited to a romantic evening or an occasion where one actually wishes to be heard. The menu is deliberately compact, a restraint that signals focus. Signatures such as the Dyno Wings, Salmon Aburi, and Hamachi Tartare reveal a kitchen fluent in the language of Japanese flavour while unafraid to let an American sensibility -- bold, satisfying, approachable -- guide the hand. Small plates arrive with the casual ease of izakaya tradition, inviting grazing and sharing in equal measure. The bar program is a particular strength; the cocktails are handled with genuine care and merit serious attention. Service carries the warmth and easy charisma of a neighbourhood spot that has long since found its footing. The staff possess a breezy, unforced personality -- refreshingly unpretentious, and all the more welcoming for it.

I ate a couple of pieces and the crisp texture and flavor was wonderful. I had a bite of rice and when I got to the cabbage to my dismay I found a long piece of hair in it.

This probably would have been five stars had it not been for the hair. I know this happens on the rare occasion but probably shouldn't if hair nets are worn. If you do try out this place, expect great katsuya.

    Starting with the rustic look of their kimchi devilled eggs ($7 for 3). The yolks are mixed with…read moresesame oil and kimchi paste, instead of creamy mayonnaise, creating a stiffer paste to pipe back into the egg white. I could certainly taste the nutty oil that always makes my taste buds sing, but would have liked more of the gochujong as there wasn't much heat to the egg. In fact, aside from the sesame oil these tasted like any other deviled egg. Swapping the bacon bits for chopped kimchi may give it that element it's missing and make the dish vegetarian-friendly to boot. Similarly, the kimchi was lost within the ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan mixture in the toasted kimchi ravioli ($13). Chances are any ingredient wouldn't be able to hold up against the swiggle of honey wasabi pesto piped on top of the crispy ravioli as the wasabi was so pungent and overpowering. Some reviewers rave about this dish, but I found the panko crust made it too dry and the pasta was overly chewy. It's not one I'd order again. The bulgogi sliders ($15) were good with a pile of thinly sliced sweet-soy marinated sirloin topped adorned with a perfectly cooked quail egg, which is runny so makes for a messy first bite. The sliders would be even better if there wasn't wasabi in the mayo (Té's chef certainly loves wasabi) and the buns were warm and toasted. If you really want to try the bulgogi I'd opt for one of the main dishes instead. Té's bi bim bap ($17) follows a traditional recipe where the beef is accompanied by cold sesame-marinated vegetables and a fried egg. They swap out the white rice for nuttier purple rice instead and Té's sweet chili sauce is thicker and spicier than other ones I've tried. Sadly, the bi bim bap wasn't presented in the typical hot stone bowl. That vessel is so important as it creates the crust on the bottom of the rice and the heat warms up the cold garnishes and sauce so that once everything is mixed together the flavours really melt and meld together. There's plenty of bulgogi on top of their mac and cheese ($18) and the pasta was excellent as well. I enjoyed the creamy gooey cheese sauce and the parmesan panko crisp on top adds a lovely textured crunch for those who want an extra pop of flavour. This is a really long review visit Gastroworld for the rest.

    Finally got to visit this Korean-inspired brunch spot on Ossington! We got their two most popular…read morebennys, which were the Bulgogi Benny ($18) and the Kimchi and Pork Belly Benny ($18). This place seems to be super popular because we arrived right when it opened and all the tables were already booked and we had to sit at the bar. The food was pretty good, but I was expecting a little more out of the hash browns (since these were more like fries) and these were not real poached eggs, also without much hollandaise. For the price I expected much better, and I'm a bit disappointed because it was like they just slapped some bulgogi on an egg and called it a day. Service was okay and the restaurant was cute, but I'm not sure I would go back.

    Flaming Kitchen is a personal favourite of mine. The food is always good and reasonably priced…read more This a very casual restaurant with good seating. The service is always good, with attentive servers and hosts. They have a fairly extensive menu with a variety of food. From salads, to noodles, to rice, to various snacks, drinks and desserts, they'll have something for everyone. We got the black curry cutlet and the black curry cheesy beef. Both were delicious and a good portion size. The cutlet was crispy and beef was nicely cheesy. Both come out on sizzling plates and very hot, so be sure to wait to take the first bite, as tempting as it may be! The restaurant does fill up fast during peak hours so be prepared to wait in those time. However, I've noticed most people eat and leave so I don't think it'd take long to get a table, unless it's super busy. Overall a good spot for reasonably priced and yummy food, for a casual day out! :)

I got the cheese house spicy beef rice that came on a sizzling plate. I think it looked better than it tasted but I did enjoy that it came on a sizzling plate and it kept my food warm for a long time. My friend got a vegetarian dish (assorted vegetable rice) and I did find that better than mine. Lots of seating and the restaurant was very clean as well. I would def come back to try another dish of theirs!
