Stumbled upon this Asian fusion restaurant on Ossington while looking for brunch options in Toronto. The interior had a very inviting and cosy atmosphere (although a bit small) but that's a non issue because turns out they have a huge patio at the back! I ordered the dark-spice Taiwanese fried chicken and egg waffle and was honestly looked a little underwhelming when it arrived. However, after drizzling the maple syrup over my chicken/waffles and taking the first bite, I was shocked at how flavourful and perfectly crispy the chicken was. The spices definitely added an unique Asian flavour to my meal! If only the price wasn't as steep ($18+tax), it would definitely be on my weekend brunch rotation. read more

Té - dark-spiced taiwanese fried chicken & egg waffle - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I will start off by saying that in terms of the physical layout, location and waiter service I was more then pleased with those aspects when it came to Té. However (and it's the most important in my books!), I honestly think the price you pay for the portion sizes one receives is beyond ridiculously small and overpriced for this restaurant. I ended up ordering the poutine dish on the menu, and for what $10 bought me I have to say it was the smallest and least tastiest poutine I have ever eaten. That was a big disappoint in my opinion because it's not a hard dish to screw up in reality. My suggestions are either drop the dish or start making your portions larger in all seriousness. There were other food items my other friends ordered and we all agreed there were some items lacking (like why wouldn't you naturally serve a side with fried chicken?). I personally would never come back here as I feel like my money can be well better spent somewhere else... read more

Té - The smallest & most overpriced poutine I have ever eaten... - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I met up with some friends for their brunch. On the menu, they had a variety of fusion dishes that my friends and I ordered. None of us order their cocktails for brunch but they do serve some unique ones. I choose the bulgogi burger which was served in an egg and a choice of mixed greens or fries as a side. I definitely liked it although when I bit into the burger, I took a lot of the beef. My friends enjoyed their dishes to which included waffles and egg benedict with an Asian twist. We were originally tempted to order the poutine but held back just in case we were full from our orders. It is a new brunch choice for me in the future. They have lots of tables to fit the rush and best of all, the service was amazing. We spent about 2 hours for brunch with great conversation. read more

Shoutout to Stephen and the fantastic service he's dishin' out. BF and I both really like this place and have been twice for dinner as our weekly salsa classes are nearby. This restaurant has a backyard patio! We arrived around 9:30pm after class and were greeted by Stephen, who although busy does try and give you the best possible experience. The restaurant had a bit of a lull at this time, with only 2 other tables dining with us. The menu has a variety of items ranging from full plates to sandwiches. Stephen gave us recommendations for what to try and he popular items at Té. They had a mango bubble tea cocktail that was super cute, very novelty but delicious. The 'tapioca' was minuscule and didn't overpower the drink in anyway. We ordered the Dark Spice fried chicken and the kimchi ravioli, two of their more popular menu items. The fried chicken was crunchy and very well seasoned. one of my favourite things I've tried. Overall great experience! Stephen was attentive and graciously explained everything and checked up with all the diners. I'll be back to try their weekend brunch! read more

I attended this restaurant with three of my friends and shared 5 dishes - the pizza tteokbokki, beef dumplings, pork belly & kimchi lettuce wraps, five-spiced fried chicken, and fried cauliflower. For drinks, we tried the mojito, pom tea cocktail, and the elderflower cocktail (though we were quite surprised by the fact that they didn't have soju!). We were intrigued by the great reviews and Canadian-Korean fusion concept so we decided to give this place a try. The food was quite good! For the price we paid, the food was a bit lacking in originality/flavour at times (like with the cauliflower), but most dishes were good. The standout dishes were the lettuce wrap, pizza tteokbokki, and fried chicken. The drinks were pretty & well made too! However, in terms of venue, Té exceeded expectations! The backyard patio BLEW ME AWAY! It's a beautiful, well-decorated space with a tree canopy, stylish furniture and dainty fairy lights. read more

From the food to the ambiance to the absolutely incredible service (Stephen), I highly recommend this restaurant for a great tapas experience. We had a group of 6 and we sat at the front with the windows opened, which was so lovely on a summer night. Stephen recommended some amazing sharables for us and even adjusted the servings to fit our group. We ordered: sliders, dumplings, ravioli, falafel, pizza, short back ribs and mac & cheese. UNBELIEVABLE! Although the food was fantastic, it was the service that keeps us raving. Stephen made the experience rememberable and recommendable! He was so attentive, knowledgable and so fun to engage with. Thank you so much, Stephen and Té - we will be back!! read more

Te is a pleasant little spot on Ossington serving a nice variety of Korean inspired dishes. Also inventive cocktail menu, beers and wines. I had an excellent macha latte. The bi bim bap was tasty and well made, as was the fried chicken, which is one of my favourites. Friendly obliging staff. Would have been nice to linger over a cocktail here but I had a schedule to keep. read more

Ok listen, I know this place has 4 stars but I don't really think it deserves it. I ordered the Tonkatsu, and while it was fine -- I've definitely experienced better Tonkatsu (for cheaper) in Koreatown. The portion was kinda small imo which is satisfactory if you're not too hungry, but I hadn't eaten all day so I felt like my dinner wasn't filling enough. I realize that the location and the restaurant's decor is likely why the prices are a bit inflated in comparison to any other Asian restaurant; so maybe come here if you're trying to impress someone. I probably won't be coming back as I felt like the food here isn't necessarily comparable to an authentic Japanese/Korean/Asian restaurant (I know this is supposed to be a fusion joint but still...); and the prices weren't worth it for the portion sizes that they offer. read more

Té - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Always wanted to try this place and finally decided to today. Ordered the Kim Chi Salsa and Guac with chips to start. The Kim Chi gave the salsa a kick which was nice. The braised beef crostini was really tender almost taste like thit kho if you're Vietnamese. The lettuce wrap with pork belly and kimchi was delicious pretty much korean bbq. The 5 spice fried chicken was really good! Juicy and tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The fried kimchi ravioli was also tasty love the crispy texture. Ask for their hotsauce too. If you're here for drinks they have a pretty unique cocktail menu infused with many ingredients. Overall an asian fusion restaurant done right read more

When I looked at the menu, I was overwhelmed (in a good way) with all of the unique fusion food items! There was a gigantic list of various tapa-style dishes -- so that you could order a lot to share with one or more people -- and also a main course list that also contained food items that were just as unique as the tapa ones. I felt like I couldn't choose just a few but instead wanted to order and eat the entire menu! LOL. I was really impressed with the selection and variety (and creativity) of the dishes! We settled on several tapas to share, one main course, and their unique tea-inspired cocktails of course. The server was extremely accommodating, friendly, attentive, and catered to us the entire night. We felt the warm hospitality and greatly appreciated it! For my tea-inspired cocktail, I ordered the Mango Black Té which our server commented that it was one of the top picks as it contained the mini tapioca pearls. It also contained scotch whiskey, assam tea, mango syrup, teapot bitters, and dried mango. It was definitely a unique drink that tasted of alcohol and tea! There was the slight mango taste and I really liked the mini tapioca pearls. They were so tiny but chewy and bouncy. What I appreciated the most about this cocktail was that it wasn't watered down at all and it was rich in flavour -- something that I find a lot of cocktails lack and thus why I don't always order drinks during dinner. Before long, our food arrived! The first to arrive was the Salsa Set. This had two small bowls of fresh kimchi-spiked tomato salsa and guacamole with tortilla chips. The guacamole was substantial and contained ample mashed avocado in it. The kimchi-spiked tomato salsa was what made the Salsa Set so unique. It was very tasty! However, there were so many more tasty things to come. The next one was the Kimchi Deviled Eggs. These, in addition to the Salsa Set, were recommended to us. The Kimchi Deviled Eggs were hard-boiled eggs redressed in a kimchi paste, sesame and yolk mash, and topped with finely chopped bacon. Even just reading that description made my foodie senses tingle. I've never heard of deviled eggs served this way! And what do you know, these were delicious! The hard-boiled eggs were done just right; smooth and tender. The kimchi paste wasn't very strong in spiciness and I loved the finely chopped bacon on the top which gave it a very crunchy texture. I loved this tapa! The Toasted Kimchi Ravioli was a bonus from the kitchen from Grace to us to try. These were panko crusted jumbo ravioli squares filled with a kimchi-spiked ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan blend, and finished with a drizzle of honeyed wasabi pesto sauce. These were very unique and I thought that they tasted more of the ricotta and mozzarella cheese than kimchi. However, reading its description again, it doesn't really say there is kimchi actually inside the ravioli squares. It is simply kimchi-spiked! These were still quite good though. (Eat them while they are hot so it retains its shape before deflating.) The Braised Pork Crostini was a surprise favourite for the both of us. It contained chopped Taiwanese slow-cooked pork belly on toasted French baguette slices. There were four of these on the platter and it was best to eat it when it was served. The slow-cooked pork belly was so well seasoned and tender that it tasted like eating pate to me at one point -- I loved it. It was perfect and I didn't know that braised pork on crostini would taste so good! The Bulgogi Sliders came in four as well. These were thin slices of soy-marinated beef sirloin piled high on toasted mini sesame buns, each topped with a runny quail egg and wasabi mayo. These were adorable to eat and served open-faced. This left the preference to put in some spicy Korean sauce if you so desired (as I did later on using sauce from the Pizza Tteokbokki). I actually didn't taste the wasabi mayo in these sliders very much, and I found the sliders a little bland. However, upon adding some sauce to complement the beef, it was quite good! The Pizza Tteokbokki was served in a black pan and contained soft, Asian-style steamed rice dough balls sauteed with garlic, onion, and bell peppers smothered in a sweet chili tomato sauce and oven-baked with mozzarella. This was incredible and tasted like authentic Korean ttoekbokki! The rice dough balls were perfectly tender and chewy; not hard at all which is difficult to achieve sometimes. The mozzarella was incredibly cheesy and perfect with this Korean style "pizza"! (I used the sauce from this pizza on the Bulgogi Sliders and it really enhanced the taste.) I absolutely love fried chicken, especially popcorn chicken or Japanese or Taiwanese fried chicken. Thus, when I saw that they had Dark Spiced Taiwanese Chicken, I absolutely had to try it. It comes in a two-piece or four-piece order. For us, since we were trying so many other tapas, the two-piece order was perfect. There was a thigh and a leg part that were served and read more

Honestly one of my favourite dining experiences. I was introduced to Té by a friend who raved about their fried chicken, so a group of us stopped by on a Sunday morning for brunch. We arrived early to our 11am reservation (they didn't open until 11), but the hostess/server let us in anyways to avoid having to wait in the cold. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive, and it really made the experience a positive one. We were seated promptly at the large table by the window, and she recommended us to several of her favourite menu items/drinks. All three of us had the fried chicken and bubble waffles (the house favourite), and it was AMAZING. The chicken was so flavourful and unbelievably juicy, and it paired so well with the bubble waffles. For drinks we had the honeydew green té and mango black té. Both were delicious and the tea infusions worked pleasantly well. I will definitely be returning in the future. The great food and even better service earns this place a 5 star review for sure. I only wish they sold the chicken by the bucket!!! read more

Decided to try this place out with a friend for the first time. When I walked in, the decor was really nice. I went for brunch around 1pm so the place was not busy. The menu had some really interesting items, I think I want to come back and try the dinner menu next time. But I tried their chicken and egg waffles, and their kimchi and pork eggs benedict. Both were incredibly delicious! I loved the egg waffles and chicken more. Great service, great food. Prices are reasonable! Would definitely recommend for those who wants to try out some Korean fusion. They got a lot of kimchi items for their dishes. read more

Surprisingly good food and decent drinks. The grilled pork lettuce wraps are succulent and exceptional, get them. Taiwanese fried chicken is also very good and - just as importantly - authentic. For drinks I had the in-house gin "Marténi" (martini), it was okay but underwhelming vs how good the food was. I'll try a different drink next time but on the strength of the food alone I will definitely be back. Bonus: black & white Sailor Moon on the tv set + R&B / hip hop on the playlist = super chill vibe on trend but casual. read more

I really enjoyed my time at Té. It's fusion done right. Great place for shared plates and interesting anime playing in b&w. Toasted Kimchi Ravioli was a wonderful surprise, nice and crunchy on the outside and great cheese and spice combo inside. I would probably come back again to try the other dishes or try weekend brunch. read more

Loved their backyard patio, very relaxing...it was pleasantly surprising that it was covered with the wide expanse of the branches of the tree, making it a nice shade to the sun. Moving on the food, I am glad that I tried the fried chicken as it was incredibly addictive. The sliders had that wasabi -savoury finish. The big discovery is the garlic-infused edamame, just the whiff of that garlic made my mouth water. All in all, I was happy we specifically went downtown to try them out. It was definitely worth the travel. read more

Pros: Good service and good ambience Cons: Ridiculously small quantities and exorbitantly overpriced. Quality is average. Many dishes are subpar when compared to random Korean places like the Owl. You're better off going to Oddseoul next door. Here, you will spend $20 and leave hungry. read more

Our waitress was really nice and the back patio was comfortable. The idea of a Korean and North America fusion is interesting but I wish the menu had more unique items with more wow factors. The overall quality of food is mediocre and overpriced. On top of that, we waited one hour for our meals and drinks. read more

Came here during the evening and was skeptical as the place was empty. Like, no one inside. I went to sit outside and there was a one table filled out there. I probably should've left due to my intuition but decided to try it out due to the positive reviews. I had the Korean BBQ Burger and although it looks impressive due to it's size, it was mainly filler and definitely not all beef. It wasn't juicy, it was pretty dry actually and the only "Korean" flavour I got was a light soy sauce. Does that make it Korean? I mean, all Asian cultures use soy sauce. The fries were good though, nicely fried and crispy. Wife had the Tonkatsu. More like Dry-katsu. Pork was way overcooked and chewy. Not enough sauce was given so we asked for more. Really didn't feel the need for the purple rice as it didn't do anything to the dish. Would've preferred white rice as it is more starchy and wet. Service was great though! Prompt and attentive but sadly the food wasn't up to par. read more

I've been here twice now. First for dinner/drinks and then for brunch. The first time I came was pretty soon after they opened so I think they were still figuring things out. The drinks were delicious. The service was friendly but a bit unsure. The second time service was impeccable. For dinner I had bulgogi Mac and cheese, it was simple but delicious. My friend had the bi bam bap and said it was delicious and very filling. For brunch I had the fried chicken and waffle and my partner had the stuffed pancakes. Both were delicious but the stuff pancakes were really something special. I will be back. This place is all around excellent! read more

We came by this place super unexpectedly for dinner, due to the 4 star review on Yelp. Walking in, it seemed like there was a celebration as there were about 10 people sitting close to the door laughing fairly loudly. No sure if they were actually open or not, we decided to wait a bit, before the host finally came by to ask us how many were in our party. Besides this party of 10, I didn't see anyone else in this restaurant. We sat closer to the back inside the restaurant, and later realized that there was actually a balcony area as well! We ordered their: 1) Bulgogi Sliders ($13) This came as a set of 3. The bao are very soft and lightly toasted. The bulgogi beef was delicious - I thought this was one of their best dishes, however I do think that #13 is pretty costly for 3 small sliders. 2) Deep Fried Dumplings ($6) This was an average plate of fried dumplings. For a total of 6 dumplings, I thought this was VERY overpriced, I can purchase 2 packs of these dumplings from the grocery store and make these myself. The sauce added to the "asian fusion", but it wasn't exactly asian fusion in my opinion. 3) Kimchi Ravioli ($9) There were four pieces of approximately 5cm by 6cm ravioli pieces. These ravioli pieces are gently breaded before being toasted. I thought this was a really interesting asian fusion dish, but the flavours didn't blend so well together for me. All in all, Te was an interesting Asian Fusion restaurant, but I wasn't a huge fan of their dishes and in my opinion, it was slightly expensive. read more

Wow, I applaud Té for providing 5 star class service. I believe our server was named Stephen. He was literally a one-man team and was able to serve all the tables by himself without any other assistance and still provided all-star service. Kudos to him. For example, we sat in the backyard patio area and it was nicely shaded. Leaves were falling into our water but Stephen quickly came by to replace our water and apologized for the leaves. If you wanna be treated like a king, come to Té. On to the food, this is a Korean fusion place and many items on the menu incorporated kimchi. We ordered: toasted kimchi ravoli, bibimbap, tonkatsu, and a dish that deals with falafel and kimchi (i forgot the name of this). The dishes that had kimchi in it were definitely interesting and I liked how it was homemade. However, the bibimbap and tonkatsu were pretty much standard dishes and they were nothing special (probably wouldn't order this again if we were to come back). The portions were generally pretty big for the main entrees and we were totally stuffed. This place definitely has some interesting brunch items so maybe I will come back for brunch. read more

We ordered a plethora of dishes. Overall the flavours are good but not outstanding. Reading reviews prior I already knew what I was getting. None of the dishes are amazing or stand out but nonetheless are still tasty. It's a nice place to try out and there is no wait considering the lineups for other restaurants in this location. The service is stand out just like other reviews suggest. I had made a reservation for 6 but ended up being almost an hour late. The server/ bartender was very friendly and attentive. He cleaned our table consistently and made sure our glasses were filled with water. I hope this restaurant continues to work on their menu and come up with more interesting dishes. The 90's/early 00's hiphop/ rap music and Sailormoon playing on the tv is amazing! read more

On a busy and sunny Sunday morning on Ossington, everywhere seemed to be crammed....except Té. Walking inside you notice it would fit remarkably well in the Markham scene, but has quite a different vibe from Ossington. The menu from brunch has some great Korean takes on traditional brunch fare....so I decided on the kimchi huevos rancheros. It was refreshing on a summer day. Lovely chopped kimchi served cold with the beans was a nice twist on a hot summer day, and the eggs were perfectly cooked. A little disappointed that for the price,you only got one egg (..cause what's an egg cost, $0.30???). My girlfriend had the banana French toast, which was delectable and heavy, although the caramel sauce wasn't "caramelized" properly as the sugar granules were still very apparent and crunchy. I would return...as the bottomless coffee, refreshing food and zero wait time was a great way to start my lazy Sunday. Just please, up the portion to at least 2 eggs...some of us are built like farm boys. read more

Té - Kimchi Huevos..with only 1 egg - Asian Fusion Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We had a great meal last night and a perfect evening on Té's pretty patio. Compliments to the chef! The Korean fusion was inventive and the most exciting food I've had in 18 months. Chef struck a good balance between thrill and comfort for someone fairly new to Korean cuisine. I appreciated the inventiveness and the care taken for special diets: an entire menu you can ask for that includes various diets (including vegan) and food sensitive. Very thoughtful. Wait staff was wonderful, especially Sarah. Favourite dishes were kimchi bulgogi lettuce wraps and dark spiced fried chicken. Cocktail menu was thrilling to read. I had the elderflower cocktail which I liked but was a bit too sweet for me, though I liked the dry chardonnay from Chianti. We will certainly be back. read more

I stumbled upon this place on Saturday during brunch, so a friend and I decided to have brunch before we head over to Bang Bang for ice cream. The decor inside was nice and minimalistic-like the average store on ossington. So let's talk about drinks. My friend had gotten the Té green gea mojito (or something like that), and I got the Chai milk Té drinks. The mojito was not enjoyable to her. I did not like my chai tea, it was very bitter and had very subtle hints of chai-which I would have liked more of. Food was good. We had the dark spice Taiwanese chicken. The meat was seasoned well, though it seems a tad more pricy than what I would normally pay for the meal. Our brunch bill came to about $25 each (prior tax) so it is quite pricy for what we got. Overall it is not a place I'll go out of my way to go to but if I'm in the area I may drop by. read more

We came here on a Friday night and was surprised the restaurant was completely empty while all the other restaurants on Ossington was busy. We sat down, ordered a cocktail each and a bunch of items on the menu. Everything on the menu was snack size portions. The highlight of the night was the fried chicken, it was delicious. From the crispy fried skin to the perfectly marinated tender meat that just makes you want to savour every bite, I give it 10/10. We also ordered the bugogi saam lettuce wrap, Fried ravioli, pork belly crostini and the salsa trio. It was all good but not worth paying $10 - $14 for 3 small pieces on each dish. Lastly, the octopus chon (which is pretty much a pancake) was awfully mushy so we didn't enjoy it at all. Our bill came up to $107 with taxes excluding tips which we thought was quite expensive for the amount of food we got. I don't think they need to lower the price but instead, change the perception of value for your money simply by adding one extra piece to their dishes. read more

I came here with my girlfriend to try their brunch menu. I ordered their stuffed pancakes while my girlfriend ordered their chicken and waffles dish.The pancakes were stuffed with a delicious banana compote served with bacon and a fried egg on the side. I loved the banana compote and bacon was nice and crispy. My girlfriend loved the seasoning on the skin of her chicken drumsticks and the waffles were nice and fluffy we also got a side of their deep fried rice balls and they were delicious! The servers were very courteous and the chef gave us an extra drumstick because we had to wait a while for our food. I also liked backyard patio set up. I really liked their take on American comfort food and I would definitely come here again. read more

We stumbled upon this place randomly for dinner, it was a modern, hip asian fusion restaurant with loud music / atmosphere that serves alcohols and a ton of tapas that you can share with your homies. The service was pretty good, food came out really fast and our server was very patient in explaining their most popular dishes and what the restaurant was all about. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience and I would come back! We had the bulgogi sliders, deep fried dumplings and the toasted kimchi ravioli. The bulgogi sliders and kimchi ravioli were pretty good! Their whole menu has some really cool asian fusion items! read more

Came to Té for dinner on a Thursday night for two people, and ordered most of the menu, per usual. For drinks, we started with the Mango Black Té, which was a great alcoholic twist on one of my go-to drinks at bubble shops. We later followed it with the Chai Milk Té, which was also a great alcoholic take on a favourite at HK cafes. While both were good, the tapioca in both seemed to take on a very bitter and alcoholic taste, which might have been as a result of the alcohol settling on the bottom of the glass. In terms of food, we ordered quite a bit. The braised pork crostini had fantastic flavour and texture, but the crostini was on the soggy side. The squid chon suffered from a similar, soggy disposition, but had fantastic flavour and a generous amount of squid. The pizza tteok bok ki, a favourite of mine and my girlfriend, was very well made and just the right texture and savoury flavours. The bulgogi sliders were tasty, and the bread was nicely toasted, while the bulgogi and cheese played well together. The unadulterated ssam had a fantastic contrast of textures between the lettuce and the pork belly, as well as a great depth in terms of flavour. Moving onto the fried stuff: the dark spiced Taiwanese fried chicken caught my eye, and it was certainly tasty, but the chicken meat itself could have used more seasoning or marinating, and was also on the expensive side. The toasted kimchi ravioli was an interesting dish, but three ravioli to an order is somewhat disappointing for 10 dollars. Lastly, we ordered a green tea cheesecake and toast sticks for dessert. It was a decent way to end the meal, but neither really stood out for me as outstanding desserts, and may have been the weakest part of the meal. Overall, I really liked my meal at Té. The food was tasty, the twists and new takes on traditional dishes were interesting, but I found that the prices and portions were incongruous. For an Ossington joint, their prices aren't ridiculous, but the portions and type of food that is being served at Té is not what I'd expect to be priced as such. I am aware that they recently lowered their prices, which is a great first step, but I'd be hesitant to spend $8 on two pieces of dark spiced Taiwanese fried chicken. I'd definitely come back to try other drinks and maybe a menu item that I've missed, but I'd love to see Té take a snack bar approach with their pricing, given what they are serving. Still love the drinks, though. read more

Terrible, overpriced, bland, tasteless tiny portions served in a loud cold environment. Huge disappointment. The octopus is literally a single tiny leg on a bed of leaves for $17. It's a big waste of money and a night out. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

I usually don't really like asian fusion but this was good. Like a few other reviewers we first went to OddSeoul to find it full then my friend suggested Te since they've been before. We accidentally went into Union by mistake next door which was super busy and full. When we went into Te it was quite empty which was weird since it was a Saturday night. We decided to sit down anyways and it was a good call. We got the falafels, dark spiced chicken, sliders and the bulgogi mac and cheese + cocktails. Everything was delicious and the waitress was super nice. Near the end of the meal the restaurant was filling up a bit more. This place is underrated though! read more

Came here on Sunday around 2:30pm and ordered off the brunch menu. We ordered the dark spiced Taiwanese fried chicken and egg waffle and the green tea egg waffle. The fried chicken was pretty good and tasted like popcorn chicken you order at Destiny's or other bubble tea joints. The egg waffle didn't have much egg-y flavor. I was very disappointed with the green tea egg waffle. It had a light flavor of matcha but that was very overpowered with the honey that was drizzled all over the waffle. It made it way too sweet and I only had a couple bites before I gave up on it. It also came with 2 tiny breakfast sausages and over easy eggs. Definitely not worth $14...maybe $7-8 max. Really nice servers and pretty decor but wouldn't come back! read more

For the longest time I had been bugging my partner to come here. And we finally did. We ordered the fried chicken+egg waffles, eggs+toast (their version of breakfast sandwich) and Caesars. Overall food was ok. Chicken was nicely fried, skin was crunchy and meat came out piping hot. The waffle was standard, a bit too crispy for my liking. The breakfast sandwich came with pork sausage, egg, challah bread plus a side of either greens or fries. Again, it's a standard fare. My partner said she enjoyed the Caesars more. Otherwise the decor looks fun, they also got some old anime playing on TV. read more

Came to this place knowing it was fusion but didn't really know how Asian it actually was. Came for brunch and got the Korean Fried Rice. It was really good and caught me by surprise. I'm not a huge fan of fusion asian food as it's typically cheaper at a more straight up pure authentic place. But this place wasn't too much of a mark up, so I'd recommend to try it. But probably won't return myself read more

Te is a gem. A real gem. Unique and amazing food, great staff and atmosphere, you can't go wrong! It was a bustling Friday night and we decided to go here for dinner because I've been eyeing this place for a while. We (my mom and I) had the Jap Chae, Taiwanese Fried Chicken, Bulgogi Mac and Cheese, and the beef dumplings for the main meal. All were fresh and very delicious! For dessert, we had the Green Tea cookie ice cream sandwich and the butterscotch cheesecake slice and were both amazing as well. I hope more people will check out this place, it deserves recognition :) read more

The menu was great, had tons of variety, it was actually hard to make decisions! The food was tasty, my only suggestion is every dish came out warm, not hot, even the plates themselves were cold to the touch. What made this experience amazing was the service, Steven is probably one of the best servers I've experienced in a really long time. He has very knowledgeable about the beverage and food menu, offering great advice. He was attentive yet discreet and very friendly. Sadly, this type is service is not the norm anymore. Fabulous overall! read more

A sandwich board marked $5 draft brought me inside Te on a Sunday as I had time to pass waiting for a friend. This hole in the ended up being not so much a hole in the wall but a bright space different from the other dimly lit restaurants on Ossington. The Asian-Fusion popularized by other restaurants on the street is done differently at Te being they are spot on with creating a beautiful fusion. Breaded kimchi- ravioli, ummm hi. One of the best dishes I've had in a long while. Their cocktails are all tea infused, is what the owner told me. I ordered the "Bloody Assam Caesar" which is made with a black tea infused tequila and topped with red wine. They also have a bubble tea cocktail! Also, what I loved most about this place is the fact that they have SAILORMOON playing on the TV's next to the bar area- which I think is just about the coolest thing and kept me entertained. TIP: they take reservation for brunch on the weekend!!! They now have a large sign out front marking the location of the restaurant- personally I think it's a must on the Ossington strip read more

I have heard of this Asian fusion restaurant on Ossington for a while and decided to check it out last night. It was raining so we didn't get a chance to sit in the patio but the inside was a very comfortable setting for a nice dinner with friends. We ordered about 4 dishes to share among the 3 of us including the bulgogi mac and cheese, the bulgogi sliders, the poutine and the fried chicken. While our server was beyond amazing making sure we were well taken care of, the food was a bit lacking. The mac and cheese bulgogi was a little bland and not enough cheese so I felt like I was eating cooked noodles with seasoned beef. We ordered the poutine with a sunny side egg and it was enjoyable, but the fries it self was soggy and I just didn't find it special. The bulgogi sliders were the best part and if I find myself at Te again then I would definitely order it! The fried chicken was fried chicken, nothing special and nothing bad about it. Although I would recommend that they have the egg waffle with it as a side dish for dinner as well, and not just at brunch. Overall, it's a nice place for some shared plates and drinks with your friends but I wouldn't expect to be completely blown away by the food. read more

Nice cosy spot for lunch. We went on Saturday for lunch. The weather wasn't particularly pleasant so it wasn't very busy. Ordered the dark spiced chicken and HK egg waffle, and the brown sugar stuffed pancakes. I loved my dark spiced chicken...well spiced, juicy....just YUM! The egg waffle was very crispy, and I wished it had a bit more chew. The brown sugar pancakes were pretty good too...3 to a plate, but it had a LOT of brown sugar filling. Let's just say that my head was ringing afterwards and it's a decent dish shared but not on it's own. Looking forward to trying the other brunch items as well..... great for the area! read more
