I been coming here since mama owned it It's a small convienice store off of king st that's been around for years The breakfast is great and well priced especially for the area This is one of the really few restaurants of its kind Local police come here for breakfast and have been for years Give it a try you will love the feel read more

One of my favourite places. One of the places I hope covid doesn't ruin. Everything I get from there I love.

Good place for those looking for an affordable, classic greasy spoon place to eat at for breakfast. Two can dine and get a full meal with coffee for less than 20 tip included. This place only takes cash though so keep that in mind before coming. The decor is very barebones and the restaurant is placed within a convenience store. Meals including coffee start at 6.75 (eggs, toast, bacon, homefries) - can't go wrong with that. While seating is limited, service is quite fast which is an added bonus. Overall my wife and I were satisfied with our meal and would come back. For the price, you will be hard pressed to find better value on king west. read more

See all

Ordered through SkipTheDishes. Absolutely fantastic food. Everything is super healthy and super tasty! Has everything from a solid breakfast of eggs and sausages to a good brunch/lunch of grilled pork or chicken with rice and salad. Various great noodle soups as well. Also fantastic burgers and sandwiches for those on the go. And even has flippin' amazing smoothies, juices, lemonades, AND coffee/tea! This place has everything, and it all tastes absolutely wonderful! If I could give this place more stars than 5/5 I would. All of you who work here are amazing, and I hope y'all have a fantastic week! : ) read more

Super flavourful pho broth, and the spring rolls were so nice and crispy with tons of filling!

Great Vietnamese food, wonderful friendly service and better than a lot of the offerings (or just as good) in Chinatown. They could and should probably charge more, great value. read more

Great breakfast spot. Easy on the wallet with quality food while supporting a moms and pops business, why wouldn't you? The Vietnamese coffee is glorious. Nice little gem. It's a convenient one stop shop. Will definitely be back. read more

This is an interesting find. Without a doubt, your first thought upon entering this place is "What on earth?!", but this is certainly a neighborhood gem. It's a convenience store, where you buy your lotto tickets, icecream pops, and dishsoap, AND sit down at a table and have a plated burger, or pork souvlaki lunch. The big table at the back is the most interesting to sit at. Your view there includes a look down each isle where the shelves contain the cleaning supplies and stacked pet food, the open kitchen, and both drink refrigerators. The whole place is humble, interesting, and unassuming. Very pleasant and friendly staff, and quite good food. This is diner stuff, nothing fancy. The basics to get you fed, and on with your day. I'd certainly come here again. CASH ONLY. However they do have a independent cash machine right next to the cashier. read more

3.5 stars. Ever want to enjoy your breakfast special adjacent to the Windex aisle? Now's your chance! This is an odd place for a diner, though the concept of a lunch counter inside a "5 and Dime" (like Kresge's or Woolworths) is quite traditional. This is a bit different, however, as UFO is mostly a large convenience-style store, well off the beaten track on Niagara St. Face one way, and you get that lunch counter vibe...turn a few degrees and check out the vacuum cleaner bags. That being said, the food was pretty good. Large eggs and tasty home fries complimented the above-average coffee, and my bacon-loving friends loved the bacon! The server was friendly and attentive. Check out this unique, casual place. It's worth a trip. read more

UFO burger is like one of those guys who busks with a big drum on his back, a banjo and a trumpet all at the same time. I was taken here by a work collogue who said they do amazing burgers and woah he was not kidding. Before I get to the burger I will set the scene. This place is a convenience store and a cafe type dealio all in the one. Has a few patio chairs and tables outside along with seating at the actual counter. The place you can tell is a bit worn out but I guess it is just part of the experience. Especially if you know that you will get an ace burger at the end of it. The menu is good, a few types of burger and side options, the old lady at the grill makes "home-made' style which is the only way. The burger itself is pretty massive with a decent portion of fries on the side, I was not unable to finish it or keep it in one piece but it tasted great. Plus I like the advantage of seeing my food prepared and cooked in front of me, that way I know nothing fell on the floor :D I will soon be living not too far from here so it will for certain become my place to go for a quick burger bite for cheap. Cheap = more good times on the night read more

This place always relaxes me. Greasy spoon, moderately priced and even a little patio for the summer. Love the little stools inside and the clientele are always quiet and friendly. Doesn't hurt that it's up the street from me, but I'm definitely glad it is and I'll definitely be back again for breakfast. read more

This is my neighbourhood gem of a spot. Really nice staff and great pho! I go here like twice a week lol

UFO - It's half way between a convenience store and an old school diner, run by hard working couple. Beyond lotto tickets and the occasional pop and chip run, not sure what else they sell though. I seen stuff on the shelf from the 90's - no joke. That said, they mostly sling out cheap diner grub like chicken souvlaki and homemade burgers. It's a hell of a deal too, and surprisingly good! Want a dirty, nap inducing, new lunch spot to brag about with your startup buddies? Take them here. read more

We order from here weekly . We have "Pho Fridays" in our household and we all look forward to it. We call in and pickup our regular order , which is chicken pho extra noodles , pork Bahmni and vermicelli spring roll with chicken . Food feels healthy - all homemade and great price . Love it . read more

Yes, yes, yes, yes yes... All Yes. Such great food, a basic place, no fur-fru types. Straight forward, Classic Shop Diner. Breakfast, Lunch, and Convenience all in one! Great Prices, Delicious Food... Lee is the Man! Love this place. I have heard and seen the burger but not had it, I hear and see amazing things! NOT recommended for groups, kids, fru-fru types, foodies, snude-ies or first time Toronto visitors. 5 STAR for me. read more

Best in neighbourhood, 4 get spadina, pho soup + bfast, delicious homemade fries price very affordable

Came here for breakfast so shopping would be bearable - I hate lines. Anyways, this place is a local greasy spoon, and its okay. Nothing special, but it's a decent place to fuel up or beat down that hangover. The usual suspects prepared in decent time, the nice part is you don't get scalped at the cash register. Don't look for décor, ambience or anything fancy, this really is a hole in the wall, but at least you can resurrect yourself without having to suffer noisy kids or preppy customers. Place is okay, but there are better places not far away, so I don't think I'll be back. read more

I wanted to write this review because we haven't been up to Canada in a couple of years, but BY FAR this is one of the best places we went to eat. Thanks to Yelp, we found this gem. It doesn't look like much, just a giant saucer in the front, but everything was very clean and the service was excellent. Also GREAT portion sizes. I will never forget. So thank you to the UFO Restaurant for making or trip to Canada a trip to remember. read more

Best burger in Toronto. Forget the Priest or Holy Chuck, overpriced and overdressed. Get the "daily special" (it's always the special), banquet burger and fries. Simply well made, every topping seems fresh and generous, sesame seed bun, huge patty, lots of bacon. More fries than you can finish. Open kitchen which is neat, the owners are really nice. Also the restaurant (about four tables and the counter) is inside a convenience store so you can pick up some kitty litter while you're there. NICE! read more

Hands down, my favourite breakfast joint in Toronto. Not since Thornhills' Midway (sold and turned into a Korean Pub), has there been a greasy spoon that's gotten things this right. I've always been in search of my downtown greasy spoon and found it about a year ago. Whether you eat on the patio sitting in their plastic furniture, by the bar classic diner style or at a table beside the cleaning supplies...you will not be let down. Good eggs, delicious bacon and low prices. Not to mention, the owner is a gentleman and provides incredible service. My go to: 3 eggs over easy, home fries, bacon, brown toast and a side of sausage. read more

I worked on Richmond St a while back and this was out choice for lunch. Homey greasy spoon cooking, place would creep out most pretentious foodies, but it's right up my alley. Roast beef, breakfast and chiken soup were my favourites. Now I go downtown once a month for work, but I remain true to UFO and come visit every time I go down there. read more

I've never had anything but eggs here. Over easy, hash browns, rye toast, and sliced tomatoes please. And a coffee. And I've always got just that and it's been bang on. Breakfast is the one meal you'd like to require the least thought and consideration. This nice crew of people have made it right every time. read more

I am a greasy spoon officianado and this is in a class of its own. You hv to experience it to understand it, but you will never forget it. Don't forget to do some shopping in the attached empty shelves aisles of a convenience store. Anyway, I love this place. read more

I like the variety of the menu, as a vegetarian myself , I found the veggie burger to be great and the veggie egg omelette was good also,

UFO used to be excellent. Now it is so-so. You'd roll onto the counter seat and Zambia or "mama" would know your fave. It was always fresh and delicious. New owners though and she doesn't work as often. It's not got the freshness of old, but for a plate of fries and souvlaki with a cripsy iceburg salad and rice it's great. Good Tatziki. Good toasted western and ample helpings of breakfasts at a very good price. My last creme cheese bagel was slathered in cheese, but the bagel was burned a bit. The prices are great. It's a nice counter to have in the hood. I wouldn't go outta' my way anymore to eat there, but it's good simple food, if the tomatoes aren't the plumpest. read more

Absolutely love this hidden gem. The homemade burger with fries is an absolute must - and it's only $6 for a mammoth burger!!! Their breakfast is good too and Coffee is only $1.50. Great little underrated local joint. Not heaps on offer in regards to convenience items but for food and sweets it's great. They have milkshakes too. read more

if you like shoe leather order steak on a bun. I remember when the cook was an older lady and she made good fish and chips but with the new cook things have went downhill. Order the eggs the way u want them and get them the way they give them to u. However there beef on a bun is pretty good. read more

UFO Restaurant might have some of the best Pho that I've ever had in Toronto. The beef original Pho is a warm homemade soup that tastes like your grandmother made it, in the best way possible. You can tell is a recipe passed down from generations and that it is made with love. Not to mention the Vietnamese iced coffee which is to die for. This place is half restaurant and half convenience store - yes you heard that right, however that's also a part of it's charm. read more

I'm not sure about the other menu items, but the burgers here are some of the best I've ever had. Less than $10 for a huge bacon cheeseburger with everything on it and a generous amount of fries. Everything tastes amazing and is incredibly filling. It's in part of a convenience store, so the ambience is very low-key, but that has charm in itself. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants an amazing burger for a great price. read more

Fun go to greasy spoon the never lets you down I come here at least once a year it's an experience you won't soon forget!

The cook Dont know how to cook eggs she has never got them right..last time she started them then answered her phone amd talked for at least 8 minutes..the owner took over..eggs were way over done..tried the steak on bun once..could not chew it..if you complain he looks at you like oh well...home burger is good as is his coffee..could use a good cleaning/reno read more

tip for everyone if you don't want to see windex or dog food.. just don't go to the back tables. Other than that.. summer time hang outside on the "patio" just a simple go to for breakfast. The Barn at 598 Queen St West another greasy spoon but no dog food or windex. read more

Classic local diner. Great for breakfast, excellent burgers, friendly staff.

good diner fair..typical not overly creative..pop prices are ridiculous..food prices are quite reasonable...all day breKie available

With so many places that you have to stand in line to get brunch it is a good go to on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Classic breakfast fare, no frills but always really good. No mimosa options available so you walk out with a $15.00 bill for 2 rather than a $70 bill. read more

Not fond of store but fantastic burger. Will have you full guaranteed. Then possibly comatose by 2 pm if you had it for lunch.

Like other people have said, if your looking for a classy place to eat then this isn't the place your looking for. If you want great home cooking, then it IS the place. I've been a frequent breakfast customer for about 15 years. There is a counter eating area and 1 large table and 1 small one. The whole place is a bit needing some renovations, but it gets the job done with great food. It gets quite busy at times with several city employees who also frequent the place. I enjoy the personal service from the current owner (Mr Lee) and the great comfort food from the chef (Momma) who was the previous owner. Great service-food-price can't be beat. If you don't mind sitting beside the sundry items like garbage bags and pet food this place is good to go. read more

This place is awesome! It's our local diner basically. No frills, half diner and half convenience store. The people running it are always friendly. Breakfast sandwiches are so good and everything is made when you order it. We usually go in and have pancakes, a breakfast sandwich and 2 coffees and it all comes to about 10 dollars. I hope this place stays around forever! read more

I love this place! It's my local greasy spoon and the food is amazing. The homemade cheeseburger and fries are my favourite. Love the fact that not many people know about this place read more

UFO is a bit like a greasy spoon meets home made cooking. Food is excellent, cheap and portion sizes are huge. Its looks like a whole in the wall but don't let that stop you from checking it out. Great service, I'll be going back read more
