I contacted the restaurant and all they would do is refund me the extra I paid for chicken balls even though the shrimp went into the compost bin. So a third of the meal went to waste and all I got was $2 refunded per meal. I won't be back and I don't recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Just ordered the Shanghai noodles and an egg roll. I've never been a fan of this place but heard…read morethey had new owners so I thought I'd try it out. It was bad, easily the worst Shanghai noodles I've ever had. The vegetables were overcooked, nothing was seared. They used a heavy sauce that looked like it came from a jar and the noodles had a weird taste to them. Portion was ok, I've had larger.

We paid over 50$ for 2 combination plates. The portions were small. The chicken balls were processed and NOT made from scratch; they had no flavour and were the cheapest, grossest thing on the plate. The eggrolls were obviously premade and bought packed, as well. I will note the beef and broccoli was not precooked and made fresh...Overall...I had A LOT better for less. I will not return.

All fine, flavours were good, but the dish was heavy on the salad and pretty light on the noodles. The shrimp were good, but the cut up roll was kind of ordinary. At $15 a pop it's probably rather on the high side, but given its location that's to be expected.

The tapioca pearls were soft and chewy and didn't get all hard because of the coldness of the drink (which sometimes happens at some places). The smoothies are dairy-free, so it wasn't as creamy, but it was blended smooth and tasted good (although a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt in it would have made it better, lol). Service was friendly and efficient. I was tempted by their lobster roll special for $8, maybe next time :) Their Banh Mi looked good too.

Low expectations having been to many dim sum places including Lai Wah Heen in Toronto (when it was still open) Pleasant surprise!!! Very original dim sum - large pieces!!! Between $3 to $4.50 a piece. You only need about four pieces and a few other sides to be full. Dim sum made fresh in the morning. Cool interior with a jungle/forest motif with monkeys and snakes all over the place. Nice terrace overlooking the boardwalk and harbour front that would be amazing in the Summer. Will definitely come back to try a formal lunch or dinner in the future.

We were greeted warmly by Leslie who gave us "front-view" seats to the open kitchen. What a treat to see dish-after-dish of sumptuous looking food. We were assisted by Opal (appropriately named because she was a gem!) who was friendly, patient and knowledgeable about the menu. We decided to share two dishes. The pound of red Thai curry mussels was sooo good. It was served with 5 pieces of toasted bread for dipping into the mildly spicy curry soup/sauce. The generous Hanoi bun cha platter was a combination of rice noodles, tender, perfectly seasoned thin pork slices, 4 pork patties, and 4 pieces of spring rolls. It came with a basket of lettuce, cilantro and that delicious Vietnamese dipping sauce that was made even tastier by what I think were cloves of pickled ginger. Throughout the meal, Opal came by just the right number of times to check if we were satisfied or needed something. We loved our experience here and highly suggest you try it out. You'll be very happy.

Located amongst the swath of restaurants at the Queen's Marque, the intriguing pan-Asian offerings…read moreat Tori Dori (including a surprising handful of gluten-free dishes) caught my eye for a pre-concert dinner with friends. It's a moderately-sized space, certainly smaller than many of its Freehand Hospitality peers at Queens Marque, but the closer, almost communal seating allows for a good number of people to dine here. The decor is quite reserved, with the ceiling actually being the show piece, as the layers of boards giving a scaled effect and a gradient of charring lending a really cool (hot?) look to the space. The menu is comprised of fancied-up twists on familiar cuisines from across East Asia, with dishes giving nods or deeply tied to countries like Korea, Philippines, Vietnam, and China to just name a few. Some of their smaller dishes were catching my eye, so I ordered the chicken and black garlic dumplings, and the mango salad, while my wife got the pho with spent hen broth. Ever since I first tried one, I've been a big fan of mango salads. The mix of flavours, colours and textures is top tier, and all in one, easily-chopsticked salad! Tori Dori's doesn't stray far from the template, with julienned mango, carrot and red onion that got a mix of heat, freshness, and savoury sweetness from chilis, mint, cilantro and a tamarind sauce. Anything with black garlic in it is bound to get me to order it, and while that unique preparation of garlic didn't feature as prominently on my taste buds as I would have liked, it did lend to a more savoury depth than chicken dumplings usually have. The tender and pleasantly toothsome wrappers held up well to their soy and vinegar dressing. The pho had a slightly more subtle broth than the beef ones that tend to be more common, but it was just as aromatic and satisfying as a good pho should be. Tender slices of chicken breast accompanied the typical pho accoutrements. The understated Tori Dori avoids the Instagram-bait vibe of some of its siblings, and delivers flavourful East Asian dishes with splashes of contemporary flair.

We walked in and wanted to try an order of spring rolls with our dish but their fryer was broken so they could not do ANY sides - which is crazy to begin with especially from other reviews talking about their debit machines etc. I ordered the butter chicken and the only good thing I have to say is that the rice was good and sticky. The butter chicken sauce had no spice to it, it was unflavourful and afterward I felt as if I was going to be sick. It tasted almost like a thin watery pasta sauce from the dollar store. It was almost a dark brown colour. The chicken was pre-cut cold chicken breast, I wouldn't be surprised if it was still frozen. It reminded me of a lean cuisine dinner - but don't get me wrong, the lean cuisine would have been more favourable than the 15$ I paid for this meal. The naan wasn't grilled, it tasted like bread. It was white and powdery.. out of all of the Indian restaurants I have ever been to, this was the worst butter chicken I have ever had across Canada. My boyfriend got the shrimp pad Thai. There was no peanuts, and way too much spruce. There was only two shrimp in the entire dish for a total of 15$. It was essential a dish of veggies. Presentation of the food and restaurant was A+.. it was clean, I'm really disappointed nothin g else was as good. For the quality and price.. go down the street and order from cha baa Thai or even Thai express in the food court for half the price. All in all, our service wasn't the best.. the food was awful and I experience was terrible. Definitely won't be back.
