    Trying out a new cuisine can be really tricky. The knowlege, level of service, and hospitality of the restaurant staff greatly influence the experience of the diner(s). No warm welcome not a smile nor a "hello", just "table for two?" Told the waitress this was our first time and asked for recommendations. Answers were short and dismissive. Ordered: - Beef Chilli (beef soft with a decent sauce and medium spice) which comes with rice and the following: - (Deep) Fried beef momo (dumpling) - outside nice and crisp but inside of dough was soggy and the ground beef tasted off - Tingmo - tastes like a delicious Chinese bao with soft layers that pull apart easily and is perfect to dip in any available sauce. - Coleslaw - good crunch but bland - Hot and sour soup -thin, flavorful and spicy - Chicken Thenthuk soup with hand pulled flat noodles. Chicken soup with soft noodle squares was bland even after adding salt, pepper and chili oil. - Cauliflower Salt and Pepper - they're dusted and deep fried. Great flavor, cauliflower is soft but edges are crispy. Gotta thank all the Yelpers for recommending this one. Once food was dropped off, they didn't come by to check on us. Had to flag them down for the check and then later for to-go containers. Lunch prices are very affordable but entrees are heavy on the carby side. Went to Himalayan Kitchen few doors down for some steamed beef momos and Tibetan tea, prices are similar but the difference in service is vast; Himalayan Kitchen staff are warm, friendly, accommodating and have no problem answering any and all questions. Not sure I'll be back, think I'll try out the many other Himalayan restaurants in the area first.

    My wife and I completely randomly landed here after pursuing her Dosa craving and finding a nearby South Indian place closed. In searching for an alternative dinner option, we landed at Norling. We actually ended up ordering a huge feast that we probably shouldn't have ordered but we weren't disappointed. The food here isn't stand-out amazing but there wasn't really a single complaint either. We would probably try this place again one day and even though I gave this place 3 stars, I'd really like to give it 3.5 stars as that would be more accurate. What holds this place back from a higher rating is that you can find better Tibetan food at other places within walking distance. Still, it's a solid place to have on your radar and you shouldn't be disappointed if you find yourself eating here.

    I love this place and their lunch options are very affordable but their condiments show no attention to cleaning my soya sauce is usually clogged That out of the way, please come 11am to 3pm for a Tibetan cheap eat treat like Thali or other dishes with salad and Tingmo (steamed twisted bread) they are very nice and attentive I sometimes run out of water

    Good deals on lunch specials. Unfortunately one of my least favourite chili chicken dinners. Nice interior.

    Garlic chicken. Very tasty. Amazing bun.

    This place is definitely a food and not atmosphere kind of place. Came for the lunch special which is probably one of the cheapest things in the city that is still delicious! Ordered the steamed momos (beef dumplings), the manchurian tofu lunch special and some kind of garlic chicken lunch. The steamed dumplings were good, they had a doughey-er wrapper filled with beef. They came with a side chili sauce that was SPICY (and my spice tolerance is quite high). The lunch specials came with a soup (I had chicken corn...DELICIOUS), a fried momo (basically a deep fried bun with beef inside (AMAZING, I'd eat these until I exploded), side of rice and side of salad, and the main dish (the manchurian tofu or the garlic chicken thing...THE TOFU is AMAZING...ORDER THIS MEAL, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT). This has now become one of my go tos and I bring anyone who will come with me here! I will definitely be back to try it all!

    Excellent food experience. Very delicious Himalayan/Tibetan food. The buns were huge and yummy, delicious chili fish, momos, soups and mango lassie . Great prices. Food is what makes the place otherwise not too clean, small, staff friendly enough.

    There are very few foods I would qualify as crack - but one particular dish at Norling belongs in my personal crack category. We arrived on a Friday evening around 6:30 PM, and the place was filling up. Starving, we ordered right away: a) the beef momos pan fried, b) the beef chilly, c) the tsey khatsa, and d) one butter tea, to try. The beef momos were quite delicious, moist, yet crispy. The beef chilly was decent, with a nice kick to it. The butter tea was a little too oily for my liking - literally, it was like drinking a cup of melted butter. But... the highlight of the meal, the dish that made me sit up and think - whoa, ding ding ding!, yes, I'm coming back here. Imagine deep fried, crispy vegetable pakoras perfectly cooked and drenched in the most delicious sweet and spicy sauce - my friends, I present the Tsey Khatsa. A vegetarian dish worth swooning over; you're doing yourself a disservice by not ordering it when visiting this restaurant. This stuff is magical - a must-try. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here. It looked like they were very short-staffed (one server, and a couple of cooks), so it took almost 40 minutes to even get our bill. But nonetheless, very patient and friendly staff, and an overall delicious meal. We will definitely be back. For two people, with tax, and tip, we paid around $37.00, approximately. Note that street parking in front of the restaurant was around $2.00 an hour.

    **Adding an extra star because my friends overall were satisfied with the food, and the restaurant followed up with me and apologized for the service. Though I was not impressed, I feel it's important to always note how my party felt (though they should be writing their own reviews and sharing their perspective!) I am not going to sit here and pretend to know about Tibetan and Indian Hakka cuisine, but being a lover of food in general, I was game to try Norling when a friend suggested it on Halloween night 2015. Specifically, Norling is a small restaurant located in Parkdale, and their menu consists of Tibetan and Indian Hakka cuisine. Most dishes are under $10 (items with seafood cost around $13), and the menu is pretty broad and split into the following sections: Appetizers Soup Beef Chicken Pork Seafood Vegetable Rice & Noodles Tibetan Specialties Momo Lunch Specialties Thukpa There were several dishes on the menu that I knew about absolutely nothing about, so let me tell you a bit about them (according to my trusted friend Wiki). Momo - is a type of dumpling native to Tibet, traditionally filled with yak meat (long-haired animal found in the Himalaya region of southern Central Asia, the Tibetan Plateau and as far north as Mongolia and Russia) and eaten with a variety of sauces. It is similar to Chinese bao and jiaozi (dumpling), Mongolian buuz, Japanese gyoza, Turkic mantu and Korean mandu. In Nepal and bordering regions of India, momos are typically filled with ground and seasoned water buffalo meat. Momos are served hot with tomato and sesame sauce usually seasoned with ground peanut, Sichuan pepper (timur), and cilantro. Thukpa - is a Tibetan noodle soup. It originated in the eastern part of Tibet. Gyuma - is a blood sausage made with yak or sheep's blood in Tibetan cuisine. Rice or roasted barley flour can be added as a filler. The sausage uses natural yak or sheep casing (intestine). Okay, so now that we have that out of the way, let me tell you about my experience... My friends and I arrived at around 6PM and there were several tables available. We sat down and were given menus. We browsed the menu and had questions about several items, but staff seemed too busy to come by and check-in with us. The restaurant was not full so we did not understand why we had to wait so long. Once someone finally came over to take our orders (my friend had to waive down a waitress), I found it difficult to get answers to our questions. So I played it safe and ordered the chili chicken without the sauce (as you know, I hate onions and the sauce was inundated with them). The other items that we ordered were: Momo (beef) Gyuma Chili Chicken w/ Sauce Hot & Sour Soup Langsha Shamo (beef with mushrooms) Verdict... I was not impressed. Chili Chicken - My dish came with rice - period. I did like the spice on the chicken, but other than that, there was nothing special about it. I tried a piece of chicken with the sauce, and it did not help the dish to me - I preferred it dry because this way the spices were not hidden or overshadowed by the sauce. I really wanted to try the tingmo (steamed bread) but after trying to get our waitress' attention for 10 minutes, I scrapped that plan. Momo - one friend used to eat momos in India on a regular basis and was excited to try the momos here, and was sadly disappointed. After receiving the momos she was patiently waiting for them to bring out the sauce that one is generally supposed to have with momos, and after 10 minutes of radio silence, she called our waitress and she admitted to having forgotten the sauce. Once she brought out the sauce my friend told me not to even bother trying it since it was all wrong. I was not planning on trying a momo anyway because as everyone points out, I am the only person they know that hates onions with a passion - and the stuffing in momos has onions. The friend that was trying momos for the first time enjoyed them - but he had no terms of reference to use for comparison. Langsha Shamo - We all tried the langsha shamo, and again, nothing special. I only had a couple of bites and found it bland, chewy, and boring. Gyuma - the blood sausage was a hit among my friends. Who knew?! They found it to be full of flavor and not dry as it looked. Hot & Sour Soup - just confirmed with my friend and he described it as, "quite flavorful." In Sum... To be perfectly honest, writing this review was difficult for me because I had a hard time remembering the meal. All that kept crossing my mind as I thought back to that evening were the words "boring" and "average." And that is an unusual feeling for a cuisine I have never tried before. Generally with cuisine that I don't indulge in often, I either love it or hate it. Almost never falls in the middle. Sad to say that I have no plans on ever going back to Norling. Though this experience was not ideal, I do plan to give Tibetan and Indian Hakka cuisine another shot sometime soon.

    I really only ordered for take out(I was craving so hard) lol. My usual Momo place was closed at the hour I drove down so I decided to try this place. The atmosphere inside was quite dark, but because I was there for take out I wasn't too bothered and I didn't examine further to see if they purposely didn't have lights in because it was day time outside or what. The place is cute and small but still looks like they would be able to accommodate a small group of people. Now the Momos, these dumplings were delicious. I took them for take out and drive home was about 30mins, so when I got home they were still nice and warm and still succulent and juicy. The portions were good and their hot sauce was tasty(just watery). I would like to actually go back but sit in the restaurant and try other items, and once I do, I will update my review.

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.

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. For those seeking a date-night destination that trades in atmosphere without sacrificing substance, Hanmoto remains one of Toronto's more quietly brilliant propositions.

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.

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! :)

    3.5 - I got sizzling spicy rice cakes to share and honestly I have had better. The sizzling kimchi…read morefries I found were much better than the rice cakes. 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!
