Starting with the rustic look of their kimchi devilled eggs ($7 for 3). The yolks are mixed with sesame oil and kimchi paste, instead of creamy mayonnaise, creating a stiffer paste to pipe back into the egg white. 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. This is a really long review visit Gastroworld for the rest. read more

Finally got to visit this Korean-inspired brunch spot on Ossington! We got their two most popular bennys, which were the Bulgogi Benny ($18) and the Kimchi and Pork Belly Benny ($18). This place seems to be super popular because we arrived right when it opened and all the tables were already booked and we had to sit at the bar. 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. read more

Té - Bulgogi Benny and Kimchi Pork Belly Benny - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I went here recently for my birthday and I loved it. One of my favourite cocktail bars, beautiful interior. And you can't go wrong playing sailor moon on the screen. A little retro. Every drink is so unique. My favourite are the mango black té and Pom iced tea. I love tea so having tea fused cocktails is a dream come true. Service is also excellent, without even having to ask the server asked if we wanted to add extra pieces of chicken, slider etc to each order so it would feed all 6 of us. I thoroughly enjoyed every Korean fusion dish, it was fresh, tasty and very flavourful. My favourites were the garlic edema, Korean cauliflower and the dark spiced fried chicken. I could've had endless fried chicken, the spices were delicious and it was so crispy. Perfectly fried. All this food shared with 6 people was more than enough. Will def be back for the drinks and to try different dishes! read more

Korean restaurant that's open only during dinner time. Located right at the amazing stretch of restaurants at Ossington Avenue, this Korean place offers great sharing places that's perfect to satisfy your Asian cravings! Ordered bulgogi sliders, dark-spiced fried chicken, and Japanese katsu. Bulgogi sliders tastes great! Soft beef nicely marinated sandwiched in a soft bun. The fried chicken has a nice kick with the five spice and it's tender juicy crunchy! Same with the pork katsu and the mashed potato tasted interesting with the herbs in it! The staff was very friendly and has a great vibe as a hangout spot because of their shareable plates! Their japchae and lettuce wraps looked amazing too so next time I come if definitely order those! read more

We visited this spot randomly as our first option had too long of a wait. The restaurant is a modern twist on Korean cuisine with a Western influence. The menu was quite large and it is recommended for tapas/family sharing style. We tried: 1. Korean Lettuce Wraps These wraps were typical Korean bbq wraps with bulgogi, garlic, pickled daikon, and a red chilli paste. Nothing was overly special about this dish, but we did find it flavourful. 2. Toasted Kimchi Ravioli Recommend by our server, we found this dish a bit underwhelming. A panko crust with kimchi, cheese and a wasabi pesto. The wasabi pesto was the only thing good as it had a nice kick. 3. Squid Jeon Basically a seafood pancake, but only with squid. This dish was what'd you expect in taste. 4. Bulgogi Sliders These were super cute and small, we liked the over easy quail eggs. 5. Dark-Spiced Fried Chicken Crispy and spiced. We found this chicken a bit salty, but overall tasty. 6. Korean Cauliflower A bit disappointed with the presentation. The dish itself just looked plain, and the sauce was just ok. 7. Mackerel Spread This tasted like tuna. A good sharing dish. Overall, we were not too overly impressed by this restaurant and would not come back. A lot of the dishes were plain and/or underwhelming for a "modern Korean resto". read more

I absolutely love fusion food, especially when its made with a creative twist and with authentic flavors. We weren't able to get a table at our first pick restaurant and this was nearby and also on my eat list, so we decided to give it a try We ordered: Mackeral pate: Not bad for a fish pate, could have used a little more salt and pepper though Bulgogi sliders: Pretty average sliders but not bad either Korean lettuce wraps: Probably the best thing we ordered as the bulgogi was flavorful Toasted kimchi ravioli: Reminded me of a jamaican patty but with kimchi inside. Quite doughy and dry though, couldnt taste much of the kimchi or the creaminess from the supposed ricotta and mozzarella either Korean cauliflower: Again, just ok Squid Jeon: The batter was too "flat" tasting (not fluffy) and didn't have that crispiness Fried chicken: This was good, the chicken was juicy and crispy Pork katsu: This was really lean and dry and the potato salad had no flavor Butterscotch cheese cake: This was okay as well Notice that these reviews are short? That's because the dishes were so bland I wasn't able to detect much distinct flavors. Not to mention, their $15 "cocktails" are all premade, meaning they have a pre-made mix and just add it in a glass with ice. We tried 4 different drinks that were all SOO sweet. From the presentation (soo basic) to the taste and quality of the food was just highly underwhelming to me. I had such high hopes for the 4.5/5 reviews on Google but was extremely let down. read more

For brunch, their Korean-inspired EGGS BENEDICT is where it's at! Their poached egg and kimchi infused sauce is always perfect. They either have it with pork belly or a crunchy delicious crab cake, both were amazing for me. HOWEVER, the lack of creativity in their other brunch menu items kind of veered us to try their KOREAN STUFFED PANCAKE W/ BANANA & WALNUT COMPOTE. Honestly, it was terrible. Imagine over-ripe mushed banana with sad small chunks of walnuts surrounded by a thick dough (hard on the outside but undercooked inside). Just not pleasant. And the savoury egg and sausage on the side was just confusing & out of place. read more

What made me come to this place was the menu. I was picking a spot where to go that was not the same old same old and this came up in my search. Have to say, when you know very little - that's when you get the biggest surprise and this definitely was. Asian Taiwanese fusion. Makes you go hmmm​? Everything from the customer service to the food to the design and cleanliness was on par for me. I have to say, so far Ossington has had more solid hits for food for me lately than most other sections of the city. I love asking what a servers favourite thing is because let's face it - it beats asking 'what do you recommend?' One usually gets "oh, everything' or 'it depends what you're into.' Asking someone who's tried everything for me, has always been a better bet. Soooo I totally took her recommendation and I loved it!!! I had the Huevos Mashup. Smokey bacon and fried onions beans, fresh kimchi spiked tomato salsa, guacamole and sour cream, topped with two eggs over easy. Served with corn tortilla chips. Now, as much as this sounds like a lot of food, it still felt light. I could have eaten more. Have to say, it's one of my favourite breakfast dishes ever. Curious to try more off that menu and their evening offerings. The space is beautiful. Would have loved to sit on the patio. It's quite the hidden gem (next summer!) read more

Patio season is in full force and Te has a cute one at the back of their restaurant that is perfect for small groups! They serve contemporary korean fusion food and we tried: Korean lettuce wraps Toasted kimchi ravioli Pizza tteokbokki I think my expectations were a bit too high since I love fusion food! It's good but for example the pizza tteokbokki tasted like normal tteokbokki. The ravioli and lettuce wraps was good but portions on small side. Presentation was amazing though and very beautiful plating. read more

--The Down Low-- Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Quality vs. Price: 4/5 Vibe: 4/5 I came here for dinner with a group of friends on a Thursday evening. Seating was prompt, as we had a reservation. We were seated in the back patio. The restaurant has cozy and rustic decor in the back patio, with fairy lights and lots of greenery. For drinks, I just got an iced tea, and for food, I got the Japanese Katsu. Since I'm sensitive to dairy, I was able to confirm with the server that the dish is dairy-free. It was filling, but a bit more bland that I had expected. The price for the quality of the dish was decent, although I think the pork katsu was on the drier side and could have probably benefited from a bit more sauce. The total price came to about $25 after tax and tip, which is average for dining-out in downtown Toronto. The washrooms were clean and nice to use. Overall, it's not a restaurant I would go out of my way to dine at, but I would return if I was in the area. read more

Té - Japanese Katsu (confirmed with the server, it's dairy-free!) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Té was pretty underwhelming despite their unique menu and the fact that I'd been looking forward to trying Té for so long. It started off strong, with cool decor and tea themed wall art. Their cocktail menu incorporates tea in every drink too, which makes for some very unique flavours. Their take on the bourbon arnold palmer was great, and the margarita was solid too. The food took a while to come out, maybe 10-15m per dish, and each dish was a miss in my books. Here's the rundown: - Jap chae: glass noodles with bulgogi beef. The beef pieces were just to small to get any flavour and the noodles were just fine, nothing special. The veggies in this one were minimal, and the flavours were overall pretty flat / average. - Toasted Ravioli: deep fried ravioli pieces filled with cheese and kimchi, topped with wasabi mayo. The kimchi got totally lost in the flavours of the dish, which was overpowered by the wasabi and overall quite a dry bite. - Fried cauliflower: this dish felt extremely one dimensional - it was literally just fried cauliflower with some mediocre sauce on the side. Would've been so much better so easily if the cauliflower was tossed in the sauce, sprinkled with sesame seeds / herbs / etc but alas, it felt like there was no love in this dish. - Fried chicken: usually a well-seasoned and perfectly cooked piece of chicken can be eaten all on its own, but this one fell short. The cook was decent, but the seasoning was just so underwhelming. Overall I found the food quite disappointing, which we didn't even finish. Our server was really nice but the food took so long to come out, and it was clear they needed to be a bit more organized. The menu showed a lot of promise, but a lot of the items are very heavy / fried with few vegetable options to balance out the meal. This place has a lot of potential but they definitely need to rejig their menu and improve their recipes / execution before I'd consider trying it again. With all the quality spots on Ossington, I'd skip Té. read more

I was actually really excited to finally try Té. I'm often in the area due to its close proximity to Bang Bang, but I'd never had the opportunity to step inside its doors until recently. We had a reservation for brunch on a recent Saturday, and I was looking forward to choosing something from the joint's far-from-traditional brunch menu. After quite a bit of hemming and hawing, I decided to go with the Egg and Sausage Toast ("griddle-smashed beef patty made with Taiwanese spices, egg omelette with matchstick carrots, swiss cheese & sweet-pickled white cabbage and cucumber. Finished with ketchup and a house-made sweet mayo on challah"). It arrived a short time later and it sure looked promising. But one bite told me that looks aren't everything. This is a bad sandwich. I'm usually not so blunt in my reviews, but I'll be honest, I really didn't enjoy eating this thing. I finished it, of course, but I was completely sick of it by the time I got to the second half. My biggest problem is the tastelessness of this dish. There's no real flavor here aside from the aforementioned ketchup, which is, by the way, much sweeter than your usual ketchup. So it's a sweet sandwich with no real texture or contrasting tastes to speak of, and, making matters worse, the thing arrived to the table barely warm, so I couldn't even enjoy the melted cheese. The included "fries" were of the matchstick variety, and they too were awful. Soggy and tasteless, I had to douse them in ketchup to make them edible. I also tried the Green Tea Cheesecake ("matcha green tea cheesecake with graham cracker crust"), which fared just as poorly. It does boast a strong matcha flavor, admittedly, but the crumbly texture and lack of sweetness is completely off-putting. I ate a couple of bites and gave up. (I should mention, in fairness, that my three dining companions seemed to enjoy their food, so perhaps I just ordered wrong. But maybe the item I got shouldn't even be on the menu.) read more

This is a Korean fusion place and they have a sizeable patio in the back. My favourite dish was the dark spiced fried chicken which tastes like Taiwanese popcorn chicken seasoning. My friend and I also got the bulgogi beef sliders, braised pork crostini, lobster and haddock cakes and lettuce ssam with pork belly. I would say the lobster and haddock cakes are a bit overpriced - I wish there was more lobster flavour. The bulgogi sliders and lettuce ssam were quite tasty and I thought the braised pork crostini was average. The pork itself was soft and flavourful but the bread it was on felt like a grocery store baguette. read more

The food is solid and the prices aren't bad. Service was friendly as well. However, one thing we weren't expecting was how long it would take for the food to come. We waited around 40 minutes for our meals! If the meal normally takes a long time to come out (according to our server, the chicken dish takes a long time to cook) it would make sense to out the estimated order time on the menu so customers would know before ordering. We ordered a cocktail as well. It was cute and has miniature bobas at the bottom, but it was too strong for our liking and the flavour wasn't too amazing either. read more

I was excited to try an asian fusion location and Té has been on my list. We ordered the fish and taro chips, sweet potato fries and lettuce wraps. It did take some time for the food to arrive and service was a bit slow. Lettuce wraps were flavourful and the sweet potato fries were really good as well. Whatever dips came with the fries as well as the fish & taro chips was amazing. Honestly, the 3/5 stars is just because it took them over half an hour to get the fish and taro chips ready. It wasn't spectacular tasting, but the sauces really elevated it. Fish was super hot, so at least we could tell it was freshly fried and not old. We dined outdoors and I was hoping to get a seat in the back because I keep seeing cute pictures, but unfortunately we were on the street patio so there was a lot of noise from traffic as well as people walking by. Not their fault through considering COVID protocols. read more

The drinks are really good but the menu is not lackluster. Unfortunately their location on ossington probably works against them as there are better options in the area read more

I've been wanting to try this place for so long and was so glad I was able to last night. I was pleasantly surprised that they have an adorable backyard patio rather than in the front of the store. We ordered the bulgogi lettuce wraps - super tasty and a great light option, the beef fried dumplings , kimchi ravioli - these were so yummy and unique, I've never tasted anything like them, the jap chae noodles - these were so flavourful and perfectly sweet and for dessert - the green tea cheesecake - which was so delicious and better than I even expected!! Had such a great experience and am definitely looking forward to coming back. The service was amazing, food was delicious - the perfect date spot. read more

Solid 4.5! Great service. Great prices! Good portions! Great selection of food for different eaters and diets. Totally something new from what we are used to. Service was impeccable! Te means tea. From the outside, the sign almost made the name of this restaurant seemed like it was Tie, instead. This restaurant gives off a modern fusion Korean-Canadian tea house vibe or at least that is what they are trying to accomplish. Plans kept changing for today and somehow we ended choosing to go to Funhouse for something 'romantic' and Halloween themed, but without leaving the city or breaking the bank either. I asked my beau to pick a place and he did justice of a fine pick if I have to say! Very impressed with everything to be honest. Location: 4/5 Pretty West for me, but West Queen West is super hip and trendy. There are plenty of street and paid G parking lots nearby. There are a lot of little shops and the Trinity Bell Park to stroll through as well. Decor/Ambience: 5/5 We hit the jackpot! Groovy music playing in the background Sunday evening and we pretty much had the entire place to ourselves! Retro incandescent lights on the walls and they pretty much play Sailor Moon on repeat on 2 screens on either side of the bar! My beau and I love Sailor Moon, so when we were not talking or eating, we were busy reminiscing our childhood and getting excited over Sailor Moon and her friends transformation sequence!! Food quality: 5/5 The menu is so shareable, dietary-friendly, two page selections of Korean-Canadian fusion food!! The veggie dumplings came in 6 and just hit the spot as a starter. The unadulterated ssam (lettuce wraps) with shiitake mushroom had some kick to it and it was refreshingly light and springy. My fish and taro chips with kimchi on the side was AMAZING! Very light batter, not fattening or drenched in oil. Fish was not deeply fried, but still tasted surprisingly fresh! Never thought of using taro chips! Seem like a much healthier options than the usual fries! My beau thought that the bulgogi sliders were done well. Nice starter for meat eaters. The quail eggs added creatively new dimension. The bibimbap had purple rice and nothing was sticking to the bottom of the pot, so no waste at all! They gave us different sauces to add more flavours on the side. Service: 5/5 One of the best service, I have had in the longest time, main reason why I am writing this review right after we paid for our dinner service. The server welcomed us with a big smile and warmth, read my special needs or notes on OpenTable, promptly seated us, and immediately asked which one of us was the one with dietary restrictions. Then she proceeded to recommend all these wonderful options just I had asked for in my notes and she went into detail about ingredients and possible alterations if needed. She engaged in conversation with us throughout our dinner and always had first if she can enter 'our' space or wait to ask if she could interrupt and clear our table instead of just assuming. We both felt well attended to. Value: 4.5/5 Dinner date here for 2 with 5 items came out to only $80 after tips and tax, so it is one of our more affordable monthly anniversary locations. We were both relatively full at the end; just the perfectly amount of fullness in our tummies. Overall: solid 4.5! I thought that this place would be more popular or busier on a Sunday evening, but it worked out in our favour of having a tranquil dinner service. Gave us this extra intimate setting being practically alone except for the staff members here. Would definitely come back when I am in the neighbourhood again, but knowing me, I mostly would try new places first before coming back anytime soon. So happy that my beau paid for the bill, too, this time. Definitely one of his better choices for restaurants!! read more

I came here for dinner on a Sunday night and it was quite empty. I hear pretty good things about Té so I thought it would be busy. Everything here is made for sharing so we didn't order too much. However, I would recommend their cocktails - The Chai Milk Té and the Pom Iced Té, they're very unique here. The food on the other hand was okay, out of our orders, I liked their Lettuce Wrap the most since it was the most flavourful but everything else was..average. Nothing really stood out to me. read more

I would give this place a 3.5/5 and not just a 3. The service was great and attentive. The food was good but this restaurant can really benefit from a portion or price adjustment. We went on a Sunday afternoon for brunch and were the only ones in the restaurant. The service was so friendly we didn't feel uncomfortable being the only ones there but were just curious as to why. Upon reading the reviews after my sentiment is similar, the food is good but does not align to the price point they've set. I would recommend giving this place a try anyways if you're looking to check out something different from brunch and don't want to deal with line ups. read more

I have no idea how parking works in this area, but I suggest TTC. I mean really, when do I ever recommend driving when it comes to downtown Toronto? Given that we visited on a Friday, a reservation is highly recommended. The place started filling up once it hit 7pm. I really like the hipster feel of this restaurant, and you can see that reflected in the staff's wardrobe (i.e., high waist jeans and crop tops). The bathroom was quite impressive; it's one of the cleanest washrooms I've witnessed in a downtown restaurant. While the stalls aren't particularly spacious, everything is simple and you have enough room to do your business. Our waitress was quite knowledgeable and was able to describe most of the items in their menu. They actually have a fair bit of food choices so I recommend you ask before placing an order. Since it's a restaurant that features tapas, 2 people should order around 4-5 dishes. I do think prices are higher than average, but the quality of the food justifies the visit. UNADULTERATED SSÄM ($11) This was my favourite dish. Comes with 4 pieces of pork belly leaf wraps. My suggestion is to eat everything in one bite! Lick your lips since the sauce will overflow lols. The pork belly was grilled just right, definitely tender and loaded with juice. I love the addition of the fresh garlic and that sweet red chilli paste adds a special kick. I would order this again. PIZZA TTEOK*BOK*KI ($10) This was pretty spicy. Rice cakes for $10 is like robbery lols, but the sauce was really good. It's called 'pizza' because they have a mix of tomato sauce and cheese. I'm not sure I would order this again, but for those who can eat spicy food, this isn't bad at all. BULGOGI MAC & CHEESE ($15) Since appetizers are only a few dollars less, this is actually a fairly priced dish. The mac and cheese will definitely fill you up. I love the addition of the panko crust, because it gives the macaroni a bit of texture. The dish itself was a bit dry, so I wish they made the bulgogi more moist, or drizzle the sweet soy-sauce around it. Overall, a safe dish. DARK-SPICED TAIWANESE FRIED CHICKEN ($8) Tastes just like Taiwanese fried chicken lols, super crunchy on the outside and a bit salty to taste. It was extremely moist on the inside, great meat. I think $4 for each wing is pricey, not something I would order again. read more

Absolutely love this place!!! The food is so good, I love the fusion.. and the service was over and beyond. Our server was very sweet, kind, super helpful, and went above and beyond. The menu has so many great options, was so hard to choose. The nice thing is, a lot of them are like "smaller" plates, so gives you option to try quite a bit. We had the kimchi deviled eggs, squid chon, the unadulterated ssam (sweet and spicy pork belly), fried dumplings, toasted kimchi ravioli, bibimbap, and the braised beef short ribs. Oh my... every single thing we ordered was sooo delicious! My absolute favorite was the unadulterated ssam and I def recommend getting the sweet and spicy pork belly. But, truly you can't go wrong... everything we ordered had great flavor! Finished off with the green tea cheesecake and that was really good too... made in house. Look forward to going back and trying some other things we didn't get a chance to try. read more

WILL VISIT AGAIN! I thoroughly enjoyed dinner with hubby at this friendly, creative establishment. Both servers were so polite and professional, and their cocktails were all so unique. I had the English breakfast cocktail and it was fragrant and perfectly mixed- I could taste all ingredients in the drink- see picture of what they serve. If I weren't a lightweight I would have ordered a few more- they looked so interesting. We also ordered the bulgogi Mac n cheese, Tonkatsu (which came with half a kimchi deviled egg), squid pancakes and their famous bulgogi sliders. The bulgogi sliders were heavenly. They apparently bake their own buns and the sliders are topped with fried quail eggs and wasabi mayo. We will go back to try their brunch menu!! read more

At a glance: Artsy, relaxing and delicious spot for Asian fusion food in the west end featuring very interesting tea-themed cocktails! The long version: Great hospitality at Té, and I really liked the vibe here. Beautiful art by Ness Lee covered the walls and black and white Sailor Moon reruns were on TV near our booth at the front, what more could you want?! The cocktails were delicious. I tried a bit of the Marténi (generous alcohol in that one), and really liked my Mango Black Té. It had great little nuggets of dried mango and tapioca on the bottom. Grateful to the tiny spoon I was given to clean that up. We ordered the garlic edamame, bulgogi sliders and squid chon (pancakes) to start. My friend told me these were the best edamame she ever had. I have to agree with her, they pair so well with the candied anchovies! The chon and sliders were delicious too! The sliders had quail egg which had a great burst of flavour. We ordered the Jap Chae to come with our mains: bi bim bap and the braised short ribs. We were 3 people, very full and satisfied at the end! Everything tasted great; the ribs melted in your mouth and the over-easy egg on top of the bi bim bap was perfectly cooked too. I would definitely like to try their brunch menu! Worth a visit! read more

My husband and I have dined here twice now - just us the first time over a year ago and then with family the second time a few weeks ago. We enjoyed both dining experiences here because of the delicious Asian fusion food, good service and cute intimate setting. We've tried a few tapas at this place and honestly enjoyed each dish here. This place does Asian fusion right, which is no easy feat. The blend of flavours for each dish just works so well together! Standouts for me personally are the bulgogi sliders, deep fried kimchi ravioli and bulgogi mac and cheese. The bite sized bulgogi sliders come in a plate of 4 and have delicious marinated pieces of bulgogi with a quail egg on top and wasabi mayo. Wish these came in a larger size because they're so good! The deep fried kimchi ravioli has a few blends of cheese with kimchi flavour worked in and topped with honey wasabi pesto. Gotta try this one! The bulgogi mac and cheese was also worth trying with its garlic parmesan flavour with marinated bulgogi pieces on top - great savoury and sweet blend! The Taiwanese fried chicken was also done well here - crispy and flavorful. We've also had the braised beef poutine which was tasty but nothing extraordinairy (side of sriracha mayo is the only difference), especially in comparison to the other dishes I mentioned. Family members that we dined with enjoyed their cocktails here too. Reservations can be made ahead of time using OpenTable which are recommended since it can get busy here on weekends during peak dinner hours if you want to sit at actual tables. There always seems to be seats available at the bar though,so that's another option for seating if you aren't picky. Staff here are also chill,polite and knowledgeable about the menu so don't hesitate to ask more about each of their dishes and drinks. Again, both dining experiences at Te were great because of the food, ambience and service. There are many great places to eat on Ossington and this place is definitely worth trying if you haven't been. I'm already looking forward to my next visit here when I'm in the area again. Keep up the great work, Te! read more

If you want Asian Fusion, then look no more. This place has it all. Innovative cocktails, appetizers and entrees. I was told it was a mother and daughter team, who make everything homemade and with the freshest of ingredients. From the sauces, kimchi to the baked desserts. It was delish. We started with the Chips, Guac and Kimchi Salsa and Squid Chon to our main entrees of Bi Bim Bap and Fish and Taro Chips. Our dessert was the Green Tea Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich. Everything came to our table hot, tasting fresh, seasoned to perfection and delicious. Our server Elena was amazing. Attentive, smiling and just went beyond any service standards. The atmosphere was calming and clean, especially the washrooms. I hate dirty bathrooms. The outside patio is serene with the white lights overhead and the beautiful summer sky. Highly recommend to give it a try. Reservations are recommended on Friday and weekends as it is a small restaurant. Reasonably priced for the portions. Next to try is the brunch - Stuffed pancakes - Korean Style read more

This place was been on my wishlist for a while and I was so excited to finally try it today! This place has cool art all over the walls and was playing classic Sailor Moon. It was super cute! We came for brunch - I ordered the kimchi fried rice omelette, and my friends had the huevos rancheros and the bulgogi burger. The omelette was pretty good with a surprisingly spicy kick from the kimchi. The salad was below average since it was just spinach and lettuce with a sesame sauce on the side. The service was just okay. It wasn't super busy when we were there. But despite that, it took a few minutes to get seated and our meal took 40 minutes to arrive. The delay may have been due to modifying my omelette to be lactose free, since 10 minutes after we ordered our server informed me they actually weren't able to modify my first choice (kimchi eggs Benedict) to be lactose free. Overall an okay place for an Asian inspired brunch. read more

I made resos for the patio and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't super packed. The patio is really cute and secluded from the street as it is in the back of restaurant. Our waitress was nice and provided good recommendatioms for brunch. Food wasn't super amazing in my opinion, I like the fusion idea but felt like it fell short of my expectations. read more

My friends and I actually didn't intend to come here but it was a very pleasant find. Loved the Korean fusion dishes we ordered: Kimchi deviled eggs, bulgogi sliders, dumplings, ssäm with sweet and spicy pork belly and bibimbop. They were fabulous and honestly, the sliders were absolutely divine! Bonus highlight? Tea infused cocktails that were creatively created. The honeydew té was quite lovely as it was mixed well, served in a martini glass with mini tapioca bubbles. Overall, I would definitely come back again to try more dishes and cocktails! read more

I really wanted to like Te however unfortunately found the food experience lacking. This was our first dining experience since covid started. The restaurant staff all wear masks and they take the government requirements seriously. Sanitizer is available when you enter the restaurant and the menus are one time use and they dispose of them! Food wise, we ordered the bulgogi burgers, braised beef poutine, korean cauliflower, crab cakes and Korean lettuce wraps. The bad: The burger buns would have been much better if they were fresh and toasted, however they were old and dry. The braised beef was dry and hard with the poutine. The fried cauliflower was tasteless. The good: Crab cakes were real crab meat and tasty. The lettuce wraps were probably the best dish of the bunch. Good flavor and texture. Overall, I'd give Te a 2.5 / 5. read more

I went here for a friend's bday surprise dinner back in February. The atmosphere, staff and food were A+! They were also so accommodating with my child (3years old) and wouldn't have thought they would be family friendly, but they are. I had the fish and chips and sweet potato fries for the kid. read more

Té - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is my second time coming to Té and today I came with my husband and 2 kids (2 yr old and 5 month old). Yes we are that couple that inappropriately brings our kids to restaurants that we don't belong in because they're too hipster or upscale, but we desperately needed a date night! We were originally going to Odd Seoul but had to wait a while for a table so we strolled a few doors down to Té. Despite 2 young kids in tow, we were welcomed right in and seated immediately. Food: awesome, incredibly tasty and well priced. Our favourite was the bulgogi sliders- the meat was flavorful, quail egg was perfectly cooked, the wasabi mayo added a nice kick, and the house made buns were delectable with a hint of sweetness to it. Overall great balance of flavours. The Taiwanese fried chicken was also tasty- great spices, well seasoned and the skin was light and crispy. Service: impeccable, and the biggest reason I gave 5 stars. We were lucky to have Steven as our waiter as he welcomed us and our kids with open arms and never made us feel rushed. He was attentive, friendly, and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, always making sure the kids had everything they needed. It wasn't busy tonight (Wednesday evening) so we got to chat a bit with him every time he came around which was really nice. Ambience: cool vibe, with a TV playing Sailormoon on one wall and a funky mural on the other wall. Music was great (old school tracks from my high school days!) and at a perfect volume to have a normal conversation. Overall had a perfect and wonderful evening at Té and hope to come back soon to try their weekend brunch! Thanks for the great night! read more
