Great service and excellent food. I definitely recommend this place. I tried their chicken and beef banh mi; both delicious. Their coffee is must try as well. Will go back for pho next time.

I'd like to start and say that I'm not a big fan of Viet food, but my visit to LD completely changed my mindset! The Trio of servers and cooks put a lot of passion in their cuisine and you can definitely taste it. This simple takeout joint has a few seats to enjoy your meal, but the friendly crew's conversation really makes you feel like family. Where this place really shines is their Banh Mi! I had the pho and pork belly types; the meat, veggies, and crispy bun is just a carnival of flavors. The dipping gravy, similar to a concentrated pho broth, gives you that French Dip type of meal with a delicious Vietnamese flavor that I'm still craving. I can't wait to come back!

When you come to a foreign land, when do you truly feel integrated? That connection with this land, the sense of familiarity and security just like your hometown. How long does it take to build that feeling? I think it depends on when you truly own a house of your own and when you blend into the community. I came to Canada when I was in high school, and it's been almost 20 years now. I deeply understand how wonderful it is to be integrated into a community. I just moved to a new community over a year ago. I absolutely love the north side. Driving out toward the highway, you can see wide open fields and horse farms with running horses. This is the life I've always dreamed of. In this peaceful neighbourhood, everyone knows my little dog. Every day people greet him and kindly give him dog treats. My son also grows up in this community, watching other little kids be born and grow up. I know this place, I love this place. I know every street. I know which time to turn left for less traffic, and which other route to take. But not everyone can easily blend into this country and settle into a community. Today I want to share a special place. If you want to connect with local people, like meeting an old friend, go to Lysa and Mom Ly's shop. Have a bowl of hot, authentic, freshly made full-flavoured pho. If you love Vietnamese sandwiches, their sandwich made with halo chicken liver is absolutely amazing. You can feel all their dedication in the ingredients, and all their passion and kindness in the way they talk to people. Walking into this shop is not just entering a small restaurant. This is a place with 850 genuine 5-star reviews. Next time I come back, it won't only be for the delicious food or the great iced coffee. It will be because I know the owners, and I've heard Mom Ly's life story and her journey of hard work and growth. Normally, most restaurants just ask how the food is and beg you to leave a good review. But very few places can truly connect with you. They open up and share their own story first, then slowly build connection and resonance with customers. Mom Ly focuses on three main things: the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the shop, and customer service. Every guest who walks in feels welcomed right at home. This kind of vibe is hard to find in many restaurants these days. Most people are just working a job. Plus, in this younger generation, people are becoming more solo. They put on headphones and stay in their own world, rarely taking time to sit down and network with others. Living in this fast-paced world, whenever you have free time from work, come by the shop and chat with them for a while. You can feel the genuine warmth of this mother and daughter. It's something you rarely find and experience in Toronto anymore. I sincerely recommend everyone to come here. If you are looking for warmth, inspiration, or simply incredibly delicious pho and Vietnamese sandwiches, go meet Mom Ly and our lovely beautiful Lysa. I believe this will easily become one of your favourite local hidden gem restaurants.

AMAZING Banh Mi!! A close friend of mine recommended for me to try this restaurant & it did not disappoint. I got the chicken lemon grass banh mi & beef lemon grass banh mi. The quality of the meats, toppings & bread are all super fresh & tastes fantastic! You also MUST try the iced coffee, wow is all I can say! The owner & family are the nicest people I have ever met, they made me feel like family & welcomed me with open arms. The attention to detail & service is the best I've ever seen. The prices are extremely fair for the quality & size of the portions you get. This is 100 % by far the best I've ever tried & I will definitely be telling my friends & family to try this new restaurant. I cannot wait to come again!

Wonderfulllll. A dream come true for a Chinese soup lover like me. It's not supposed to be treated…read moreas a full meal though like Korean soups, but my bowl of rice and I do. Most places only have those egg drop soups to buy (at least in rhill), which I'm not a big fan of. One of my favourites in general is the pork bone watercress soup and if you've ever handled watercress, you'd know it is a pain to clean so if I'm lazy, I'll buy that here. Great soups! I've been ordering a couple of times already and the soups are quite consistent. Such a cute mom n pop shop - they even cut their carrots into flowers! They got the Chinese mom approval from my mom if that helps. You also get fortune cookies! Side note: order ahead because you don't want to or even have an opportunity to park in this plaza while you wait and might have to go all the way around the first time since there's limited space (idk who planned this area but we have beef now).

My wife and I just recently had our first born daughter, and unfortunately due to the health…read moremeasures in place we couldnt really have any family over to help us out. So not only were we stressing about our first born, but personally I was also very stressed for my wife as I wanted to make sure she had a good recovery (as per traditional Cantonese ways). I can make some soups myself, but I just couldnt imagine being able to find the time. When we found Let's Soup we were elated as this was exactly what we were looking for in the GTA - A traditional Asian (Chinese) herbal soup place! Lets Soup is located at the corner of Yonge and 16th avenue on the South East corner at the base of the condo building. This is a very small store that is strictly for take out. When we first came to order it took about 15 minutes to prepare. We ended up ordering via messages on their Instagram account and was never disappointed with their service. Honestly I literally can not think of any other place that exists in the GTA (at least when we were looking) that offered this kind of service - Outside of hiring a "lai ma" to come and cook and cook for us. This was the next best thing and it was an absolute god send. I dont deny though, everyones taste is different, raised differently and of course different experiences with food and cooking. Unfortunately, I dont think there is any restaurant out there that can truely replace a parents cooking thats made with love - But Lets Soup is an extremely close second. My wife and I purchased some soup to try them out, and was happy enough that we decided to get the full "post partum recovery" set (pre paid for a set number of soups at a slight discount) So we had the chance to try many of their soups. Serving size was more then enough for 2 adults or one very hungy wife that just gave birth :) This was absolutely perfect for us, and we still went back even after we had the package to pick up more soups. I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend this place, as honestly what other places can compare? This is almost a one of a kind service in the GTA as far as I am aware On top of all this, I had nothing but excellent service every time I went. They were always friendly and happy, offered lots of advice for having a first child and were just over all awesome. I hope they can continue to improve and grow. Keep up the good work!

(Skip to the bottom 2 paragraphs for the food review. I got carried away with the experience…read moreleading up to eating lol.) It just so happened I was driving past this area and I was hungry. The yelp and google fam did me right by giving this place a great review. I honestly didn't read any reviews, I just saw the 5 star and I was so pleasantly surprised to see that this place is a Korean owned mom and pop shop with the NICEST owners. Their kitchen caught my eye as I stood at the front counter. It displayed well used traditional korean cookware with a large wok as a center piece. This place isn't fancy but it has an adorable quaint charm to it. I didn't know what to order so I asked for their recommendation. The pop of the shop is so nice and explained everything on the menu to me with an understandable pleasant Korean accent. He was especially proud of their fishball soup that comes with the meal and he had good reason to be! After ordering in person he allowed me to wait at my car as he brought the meal when it was ready. It was only about 5 mins wait he came out and I met him half way saying one of 2 Korean phrases I know "!" and he was so happy as we bowed to each other after the exchange. It put a big smile on my face too lol. I decided on spicy chicken cup bap and omg when I got home I was so pleasantly surprised by the smells and flavors. I noticed I couldn't smell the food on the car ride home but when I opened up the package and spread out the spoils on my counter all the delicious aromas invaded my nose. The soup had the sharpest and alluring smell. It's a clear soup that reminded me of the Chinese soups I grew up consuming after a meal and it made my mouth water. I'm surprised I restrained myself long enough to have even taken a photo for this review. For $11 you get a nice portion of spicy gochujang chicken with arugula salad, tomatoes, japchae and rice at the bottom which was necessary to soak up the chicken's spicy sweet sauce! I was actually so happy eating it. The rice was cooked perfectly. The main dish paired with the pickled veggies and soothing fishball soup is perfect! So many different flavors, all very intense and all complimenting each other. You just kind of keeping going around eating main, soup, pickled veggies, smiling, and repeating. So much love and care was put into this meal, you really can't help but smile and appreciate it. TIP: You can order by phone. Their online menu is limited so I'd recommend calling! You can also order days ahead and call and order after closing!

This place is a nice hidden cozy mom and pop style Korean shop, they do serve regular sandwiches…read morebut the real star of the show is the cupbap which which runs you around 11$-13$. Overall great flavor and a nice variety of food served!

The whole experience was so relaxing and I felt amazing after the Thai massage! For the food, I had the papaya salad and chicken Pad Thai. My friends tried the tom yum shrimp soup, eggplant and green curry. The eggplant was surprisingly one of my favourites and everything we tried was really good. For dessert, we tried the mango sticky rice and a mochi dessert and both were delicious. I went with my girlfriends and we had such a nice time eating, chatting and relaxing. For $149 before tax, tip, and drinks, I think it is a fun package for a girls' self-care day. We have already decided to make this a quarterly tradition!

We showed up on time for our reservation. Having never been here before, the first thing I noticed was the small market area selling Thai foods, which I felt was nice. If I actually lived in the area, I would consider buying some of the products. The space looks quite nice, and definitely had Thai accents to it. We were seated quickly. As a group of friends having not seen each other for a long time, our server was very patient with us. We were so busy talking, she had to come by 3 times to check if we were ready to order. Each time she came by she smiled, saw that we were busy catching up, and never pressured us to place an order until we were ready. I ended up trying the Khao Soi, Grilled Skewer Platter, Som Tum Papaya Salad, and the Pineapple Fried Rice. I didn't take as my notes as I normally would when eating, but I distinctly remember that every since dish was good - prepared properly and great flavour. As noted, the server was friendly and attentive, and never got the impression we were under a time limit despite being there well over 2 hours. Overall, a very good meal. I'd definitely considering returning if back in the area.

I find the food stall named Soup to Go in the Sheraton Parkway food court so aptly and inaptly…read morenamed. On one end, it sounds like a run of the mill fast food joint (i.e. In and Out, Coffe Time), but the name doesn't do its Chinese name justice (Chinese name: Wellness Studio). On the other hand, the name does a great job of communicating the nature of its business: takeout and take home home style soup and meal. Regardless if you like their name or not, I think it's a good spot for this type of business. They manage to capture some of the passerbys and nearby white collar workers. On the other hand, it's not a high traffic mall, so the take home meals are a great way of increasing total customer spending. I'm basing this review purely on a takeout lunch of a steamed dried shrimp and preserve sausage and meat rice in lotus leaf. They really do a good job of balancing health and taste. I'm always wary of food that is healthy or healthier, but they end up tasting like cardboard. No such issue here. The rice on the surface looked kind of small. But they really didn't stinch on the preserved sausage and meat. The rice they used was the nice soft jasmine rice. They also purposely mixed in some quinoa. I forgot to mention that the rice also had a decent amount of dried scallop as well. Here are a few suggestions for improvement: A little bit less preserved meat and sausage, while adding more dried shrimp would be nice. The dried mushroom and shrimp can be a bit more aromatic and the lotus leaf flavour transfer can for sure be amped up. The lunch does come with home style boiled Chinese soup (or broth) and a herbal drink. Both of these were excellent. The items at Soup to Go are not cheap. The lunch with tax was just under $20. It is cliche, but you get what you pay for. Feel like drinking soup, but you don't know what is the soup of the day? You can check out their monthly schedule of soups!
