    onigiri
    Winona H.

    such a cute, and charismatic gem found in the 707 market that specializing in triangle rice balls (onigiri)! the owner is so friendly and is quick to make your order. we got 3 rice balls to try (green onion tuna, spicy pork, miso eggplant). green onion tuna was my personal fave, but they were all super solid with an amazing price point (~$4) each. the bonus of having many different stalls surrounding allows for u and a group to have various dishes to try and a taste for different ethnic foods!

    Pretty good! I tried the eggplant sesame miso, spicy pork miso, and garlic shiitake mushroom variations. Was definitely surprised how large these omusubis are since I was stuffed after eating all 3 but it also isn't just all rice, as they pack in a good amount of ingredients into it. Probably liked the garlic shiitake mushroom one the best but if I were to come back the japanese sweet potato one looks pretty enticing. The lady running the shop is super nice and friendly too :)

    The rice balls make for a good snack. Spicy Miso was quite big. It tasted decent & had enough pork

    Looks good!!

    I had one of the best meals from Bar Suzume first time I tried it. And what could be better and more appropriate than using a food stand? Contactless payment, even without using a middleman this seems the best way to get some variety in your meal plans. I can't pass these vendors by without stopping for something. Omusubi is the rice ball signature item in the menu with 8 or so flavours. It's a sushi grade rice packed around a savoury centre sort of like a snowball with a piece of ice inside : ) There's an ingenious poly wrapper around the triangle shaped ball that has a pull tab to reveal the rice ball. Between the disposable wrapper and the rice ball is a layer of seaweed that serves as an edible wrapper that allows you to hold the ball without it falling apart. The spicy pork was absolutely delicious and made me want more. I had the salmon next which was bland by comparison and would appreciate some Japanese soy sauce and wasabi which I didn't get with it. Worth asking for. The soup is mighty good! Especially the oatmeal miso turnip one I had. They are generally miso based and were veg so far. A fantastic snack that may leave you hungry after but really, do you need to be that full after meals? Probably not.

    Garlic Shitake Omusubi, fresh off the sauté

    Try the new Garlic Shitake Mushroom Omusubi which takes Rie-chan two days to prepare! One of the best eateries in town, hands down, at reasonable prices. The 10-grain Amazake fermented rice wine (non-alcoholic) is also an amazing health treat for those who want to go all out, almost filling in itself, perfect for a picnic or a daytime treat.

    This tastes the Exact Same as the onigiri you find lining the shelves of gas stations in Japan.

Very helpful and pleasant people. I wanted something small, so opted for their pork tacos. You get 3 small pork tacos for $14.75, which is pretty good in terms of value. They were surprisingly meaty, and tasted decent. They would probably make a good sharing item for the table as they were quite salty. Now, if this were a taqueria, I would not be impressed with the tacos. So if you are expecting "proper" tacos, don't order them. Go to a taqueria, lol. But this is a corporate chain pub in a city, whose main goal is to make a large swathe of people happy. So within this context, I think they did a good job. I would totally be ok to come back and try something else another time. I also had a local hazy IPA which was lovely. Overall, it was a good experience and I would go there again.

Their house special double patty cheeseburger with onions, fried jalapenos and special sauce. Nice soft and slightly sweet brioche(?) bun with tons of flavour in the burger. The heat from the jalapenos definitely builds. The batter and onions add nice texture. 4/5 - Chili cheese fries. Upgraded as part of the combo. Lots of chili and a rich cheddar/american cheese sauce. Good flavours and met the mark, however paired with the Cabano burger can be very very heavy. AMBIENCE (3/5) Small interior with an order kiosk, a pick up counter, and 10-12 bar seats. Well cleaned and didn't feel grimey. LOCATION (4/5) Tucked away a block or so away from Bloor-Yonge it doesn't get a whole lot of foot traffic but easily accessible by transit.

But I went early at 11:20am and the line was not bad. Got my free burger and it was good! It looked beautiful and was delicious! I loved the soft sesame seed bun. But if it had a sauce I couldn't really taste it. A unique sauce is what separates a smashburger from good to great so this wasn't great. But check them out anyways. I met the owner Kevin and he was really nice and was at the front counter calling out our names on waiting list. The ambiance was warm inside and seating is mostly barstools at several counters.

The establishment's most remarkable feature resides in its architectural flexibility--multiple dimensional spaces accommodate diverse clientele from intimate dining pairs to festive larger assemblies. This pragmatic responsiveness to varying social needs demonstrates genuine understanding of the hospitality spectrum. Their cocktail program demonstrates fundamental competency: preparations that prioritize balance and classical technique over unnecessary elaboration. The spirit-forward compositions achieve respectable equilibrium, suggesting kitchen staff with grounding in mixological fundamentals. The kitchen's approach to food preparation emphasizes comfort and straightforward execution rather than technical virtuosity. Whilst this represents philosophical honesty, one occasionally detects opportunities for greater precision in temperature control and plating presentation. Service staff demonstrate genuine warmth and attentiveness, creating atmosphere conducive to extended social engagement. The ability to make patrons feel genuinely welcome constitutes underrated gastronomic skill. Hair of the Dog succeeds principally as a social destination rather than a culinary exemplar. It represents honest, unpretentious hospitality that fills genuine niche in Toronto's entertainment landscape. For those seeking spirited conviviality combined with serviceable cuisine, this establishment merits serious consideration.

The confit salmon had a texture between raw and medium-rare, not dry at all, but not as raw as sashimi. The dry-aged steak was incredibly tender and juicy! Every bite was bursting with the aroma of the fat. The six courses cost a total of 115 pence, and the servers didn't neglect the guests despite the lack of a tipping policy.

The restaurant is bare bones, but has a nice bench seating that spans the length of the seating area, a garage door opening to the street, and a small bar area near the kitchen. There is local art on one side of the wall and graffiti style decor on the opposite wall and washroom (which you can pickup one of the provided pens and tagged it yourself). The cajun fries are soft potato wedges coated in chili flakes and paprika. It comes with what looks like the burger sauce as dip and is tangy and finger licking good. Eating at Heartbreak is a messy affair. The portions are great for the price, the chicken is hot and fresh, piled high with coleslaw and sweet pickles on a brioche bun. The owner seems to be the soul (pin intended) cook, served us, did cash, and took care of the guests. Overall, the chicken was crispy, lots of meat, will be back to try their mac and cheese.

Probably my favourite chicken sandwich place in Toronto. And to top things off the portions are massive. Well worth the cost considering how pricey things are these days. We ordered the Cajun fries this time and it was perfectly cooked. Super fluffy and soft in the middle and crispy on the outside with a strong Cajun kick. The owner is right there working his heart out and you can tell it. They moved to Kensington market from their old location on Bloor and honestly I think they fit the Kensington community vibes perfectly. It scream locally made with a lot of heart. Super friendly, good food, but just be prepared to get your hands a bit saucy.
