We tried all of them with the exception of the beyond meat as I've had that numerous times. All of them were unique but still very flavourful. The REAL showstopper here is the poutine.

The layout is spacious and the decor is average. The seating arrangement is free for all, so I imagine it might become difficult to find a spot during busy times (or maybe people are more courteous in Thunder Bay than Toronto, so it is not an issue!) The food is amazing. The serving is generous and it is quite delicious! The coffee is out of this world. Full bodied and flavorful. It is a wonderful place. I highly recommend trying this place out!!

We came here for Sunday brunch with friends and ordered the Timberjack Special (all day breakfast…read moremeal) and Mojakka Meal (homemade menu). My husband and I wanted to try the Finnish staples. Overall, the food was good. The breakfast was standard and as expected. I liked the Finnish pancakes because they were soft, buttery, and the right amount of eggy. I just wished the dish was a bit more filling. My husband enjoyed his Mojakka stew -- it was hearty and comforting. The beef was tender. It wasn't the most flavourful stew, but I think the point of this stew is to be hearty and classic rather than unique / bursting with spices. Again, my only criticism would be the portion size being on the smaller side. The service was prompt and friendly.

I come to Canton for dim sum frequently, and have been coming for more than a decade. Decor and…read moreservice is pleasant. I find the dim sum dishes very flavourful and there is a nice variety. One disappointment is the pan fried shrimp paste stuffed green peppers... because they no longer use green pepper. It was my favourite item. They use red pepper which is alright but not the same. Some favourites of mine are the deep fried fish cakes (little strips of firm fish, deep fried), calamari (very salty but I like it like that), curry beef samosa, deep fried shrimp wrap with mixed fruit salad dressing (it's mayo I think), sticky rice, steamed bean curd rolls, red bean paste cakes (flat and dry, but I like it), deep fried savoury triangles ("footballs", dough is crispy outside and gummy inside with sweet and savoury pork filling), and siu mi. Make sure to get some chili oil!

My boyfriend's been raving about two particular dishes from here for the past few months, so we…read morecame here for my first dinner in Thunder Bay. These two dishes were: the yeung chow fried rice and the stir-fry vegetables and vermicelli.. and honestly, I don't get his hype. The rice was pretty good, fair. It was stir-fried so that each grain of rice was evenly coated, the texture of the rice was slightly al dente, and there were a fair number of shrimps. But the vegetables and vermicelli pot?! Dayuuuum, I swear they used half a bottle of oil to make that stir fry. The pores on my face had already began to clog from just staring into that pot of regret. In part, I would argue that my poor review of this place is because I'm a Chinese person who's from Markham (the Chinatown of GTA) so I've had much better Chinese food... but ironically, so is my boyfriend and yet he still claims that the food here is better. I guess in considering that it IS Thunder Bay, the food isn't bad but what I really couldn't get over was the ridiculous pricing. Closing in at around $15 for each dish, I couldn't help but to think of how the same thing back home would cost less than half that price.

Only nitpick was that they accidentally gave me chicken instead of tofu in my Venus Bowl, and I only found out after I got home -- but they corrected their error by promising me a free Venus Bowl with tofu the next time I come in. Though the food is tasty, it's not as amazing as others keep raving about. Perhaps my expectations were too high given the price point. Portions are reasonable and filling. Bottom line, I'd still give other menu items a try next time.

Pre-made refrigerated dishes & they carry some other local Thunderbay pantry goodies. I tried their FINNISH PANCAKE CREPE (4/5) and their SPICY RUBEN SANDWICH (4/5).

I liked the spicy kick from the kimchi. Definitely get the sandwich toasted with garlic butter. I love that you can also customize your sandwich or choose from the menu of sandwiches with predetermined fixings! I would check em out for a yummy & cute patio lunch/brunch spot.

No hotels in a 4 hour drive radius. Spent a few hours in a warm welcoming bakery eating pizza with the young men working the overnight shift. They were SO welcoming and the food was so nourishing, we thought we were dreaming. Another night on a major music tour across Canada our after show food arrived ( from a national chain I won't name ) it was inedible. Gross. A 2am call to Donato's fixed everything. They showed up with half a dozen of the best pizzas we had on the entire trip. There are more stories like this about Donato's. If you live here, you are indeed fortunate. 5 freakin' stars

Please just order from a franchise because this is going to disappoint you greatly, consider yourself warned.
