Urawa Japanese Cuisine

Feb 11, 2021

I liked the torch sushi so much I came back for more!

Yasai Gyoza (5 pieces for $5.25 x 2 orders BOGO) and Torch Salmon (6 pieces for $13.99 x 2 orders)

The gyoza had thick and hard skin that kept solid in the deep fryer, but it was only okay overall (the dipping sauce was pretty good though). 

The torch sushi was delicious as usual.

 A torch sushi BOGO on Ubereats!
Torch Salmon Sushi ($13.99 for 12 pieces), Salmon Avocado ($7.95 for 12 pieces) and Spicy Tuna ($8.99 for 12 pieces)
The containers were jam packed with sushi rolls - I'm surprised they all fit so nicely inside (quite a masterpiece). 
The torch salmon sushi was good, nice and sweet with the teriyaki sauce and mayo as well as some crunchy balls on top - and of course you can't forget the star: yummy torched salmon. It did feel like each individual piece was a little smaller, but the salmon was delicious - would get this again for sure.
Salmon and avocado roll had lots of salmon and while the avocado was a little mushy, it was nowhere near as mushy as my last sushi experience and still pretty good in general. 
The spicy tuna was a diced tuna with spicy mayo; I liked that it had lot of crunchy bits inside to give the roll some texture. 
Overall: Pretty decent sushi experience (and super cheap with the Ubereats BOGO promotion)! Definitely get the torched sushi - it's so yummy (if you like torched salmon)

Mr. Congee Chinese Cuisine

Feb 8, 2021

M21. House Special Chicken ($14.95 for two portions) and Z6.Roasted Pork ($15.59 for two) BOGO
The house special chicken was a juicy chicken with a nice crispy skin on the outside and it also came with a portion of shrimp chips - pretty good value! 
The roasted pork was on the saltier side, but the flavour was good and the sauce on the side complimented the pork really well. 

We also got B.19 Sliced Beef Congee ($8.78 for two) and H22. Chicken with Vegetable Chow Mein ($14.89 for two) but they're not pictured. 
The chicken with vegetable chow mein was great value, super big portion and lots of sauce that was savoury and tasty (not too salty). 
The congee was good too, but it didn't have a lot of beef slices. I preferred the other things we got. 

Jan 3, 2021
First Ubereats BOGO adventure of the year (all prices below are for two portions which aren't pictured)
From top: Fried Chili Turnip Patties $11.69, Soy Sauce Chicken $13.33, Sweet and Sour Pork $16.84 (not pictured Shredded pork and preserved egg congee $8.78). 
The prices were super reasonable for two portions of each and they gave us a lot of food with all the orders (like the soy sauce chicken was a full chicken split into two boxes). 
The turnip patties could have used more spice/seasoning since the flavour seemed a little light and turnips are pretty bland vegetables. The texture and firmness of the turnips was pretty good though. 
The soy sauce chicken had good flavour and it was super tasty (would get this again!)
The sweet and sour pork was good, but the portion seemed a little small considering this was the most expensive item in our order. 
The congee was also pretty good. 

Overall: Everything was pretty good and tasty and with the Ubereats promotion, it's a great deal!

Hey Noodles

 Feb 6, 2021

Chongqing Street Noodles ($8 for 2)
Rice noodles pictured above with less spicy and no numbing (figured out the right spicy combination now). The rice noodles were okay, but they didn't absorb flavour as well as the potato or egg noodles, but the broth still had lots of flavour and was still quite spicy. 

Jan 23, 2021

I've heard of the cheap noodle promo deals at Hey Noodles (where you get unlimited noodles), but this was my first time trying their noodles - especially since I can't pass up a BOGO deal on Ubereats
Chongqing Street Noodles ($8 for two)
One noodle had the normal thin egg noodles and the other bowl had sweet potato noodles. The broth was flavoured with sesame paste, green onions, garlic, cilantro, peanuts and sesame seeds.

The soup also came with varying degrees of numbing (peppercorn) and spiciness. I opted for less numbing and less spicy since I wasn't too sure what I was getting myself into and when I tried the less numbing version, I could understand why it was called "numbing" - I couldn't feel my lips. The broth was a good level of spicy and was flavourful with savoury elements like the peanuts and sesame as well as pickled vegetables. 
In terms of the noodles, the sweet potato noodles were okay since they did absorb some of the flavour, but not as much as I wanted and the noodles were pretty slippery. 
The egg noodles were good and absorbed the broth flavour a lot better, especially when they sat in the soup longer - but it also got a lot spicier as it stewed together. 
The portion sizes were pretty sizable (and if you eat in person when things open up again, they do give you unlimited noodles), but there wasn't any meat in the street noodles. 

Overall: Great value for money! $8 for two bowls of noodles with the Ubereats BOGO promotion is a great deal for two super filling and deliciously spicy portions of noodles. Worth the trip!

Orient Express

 Feb 5, 2021 @ 4271 Sheppard Ave E

$11.99 for two with the Ubereats BOGO deal
Classic Noodles with beef slices

Thin Flat Noodles with beef brisket (+$3)
The beef brisket was tastier and more flavourful than the beef slices (and extra cost), but the soup bases and toppings like green onions and cilantro were the same. Personally I like the flat noodles (and even more when they're wide since they're hand-pulled), but the thin noodles and classic noodles are tastier since they absorb flavour quicker from the soup and meat. Definitely one of the better noodle soup places in Toronto!

Jan 28, 2021 @ 4271 Sheppard Ave E

BOGO Lanzhou Beef Noodle on Ubereats? Gotta Try It!
Lanzhou Noodles ($11.99 for two) and Clip Bun (2 for $5.99)
The clip bun had slightly game-y marinated beef with coriander in a bun and while it was okay, the seasoning had a lot of cumin (and other spices you would use with lamb meat). 
Lanzhou noodles were pretty good for a takeout version. The noodles were a tad congealed in the takeout container, but once you heated it up, it was pretty quickly fixed. The broth was a simple radish vegetable broth and you could choose how spicy you could make it with the chili oil on the side. The chili oil was pretty tasty too and having it on the side made it great for moderating the spiciness of the soup. 
Overall: The noodle dish was pretty good, but it didn't have a lot of beef though.

Sozo Ramen Sushi

Spicy Red Miso Ramen and Miso Ramen (BOGO) and Dynamite Roll (also BOGO)
There wasn't too much difference between the two soup bases, but spicy was a bit better since it had a stronger flavour. There was lots of chashu, but it was cut really thick and slightly overcooked and tough.
The dynamite roll was okay, the roll was small and fell apart rather easily. I could only taste crunchy bits as opposed to shrimp meat and the avocado parts were quite mushy.

Shanghai Shikumen Fine Cuisine

I didn't really notice that there was a Shanghainese restaurant in the outside plaza of First Markham Place (since there's way too many options here) until I saw their BOGO offer on Ubereats.
BOGO Xiaolongbao ($6 for 2 servings of 6 each)
The xiaolongbao (steamed soup filled dumplings) were really good and perfectly made with a thin skin at the bottom and a thick stem at the top. The insides had lots of meat and soup and when you picked it up, it didn't break. Really good xiaolongbao here! 


Phoenix Restaurant

Jan 31, 2021
Ubereats BOGO deals!
Cuttlefish Ball in Fish Soup ($10.90 for 2) and Baked Chicken Steak with red curry cream sauce on rice ($15.25 for 2) and HK Milk tea ($3.45 for 2) 
The cuttlefish balls were hand made with pieces of cuttlefish in a fish ball (you could tell the harder gummy chewy pieces of the balls were cuttlefish) and the soup also had yummy tofu pockets. The broth itself was pretty good too and the whole dish felt like it missed noodles, but it was still really good. 
For the baked chicken steak with red curry cream sauce, we added in the comments for it to be spaghetti instead of rice - and they delivered! (I'm a huge noodle fan rather than rice, so this was perfect!) The spaghetti with chicken had a nice spicy curry flavour which was tempered by the cream sauce and one of the best parts too was that the chicken breast was all meat and no bone. 
The milk tea was great! A good HK style milk tea with strong tea flavour and perfect ratio of milk/evaporated milk/condensed milk (whatever makes it taste like HK milk tea). 

Sept 15, 2018
Chicken steak with tomato sauce
It's a decent portion size, but I'm not really a fan of their tomato sauce. 

Clubhouse sandwich with steak
I find it really cute that they cut off the crusts and I like that they toasted the bread.

Yunnan Vermicelli in fish broth
This dish is probably one of the best things to get at Phoenix restaurant. The fish broth is really good and the fish balls and deep fried tofu fish cakes are delicious. 

Seafood spaghetti with cream sauce
The cream sauce by itself either isn't that great - the best combination here is to combine the tomato and cream sauces (if you like that kind of thing). 

July 8, 2017
Yunnan Rice Noodle and Pork chop with gravy sauce spaghetti
The rice noodle was delicious as always - it has nice subtle flavours and this really yummy spongy fish ball. The pork chop was a lot of meat, but probably not as much sauce as I would have liked since there was also the spaghetti to absorb some of the sauce. 

Half tomato sauce and half cream sauce baked spaghetti with pork
I really like these HK style spaghetti meals - you can always decide to eat the tomato side first, or the cream side first or mix them together for an extra yummy sauce with spaghetti. The pork was really good too. 

June 18, 2016
I was craving some HK style spaghetti, so we came to Phoenix for big plates of spaghetti. 

Beef with spaghetti and Garlic and honey breaded pork with spaghetti
Both dishes had gravy sauce and interestingly enough, you could still taste the garlic and honey of the breaded pork despite the gravy sauce. The food was okay for the most part and filling. 


Jan 10, 2016
Hainan Chicken and Yunnan fish and tofu with rice noodles
Both were as delicious as I remember them - you can always count on Phoenix for consistently great meals with great value-for-money! 

November 8, 2014
We came for a quick lunch before hitting Markville Mall for some Christmas shopping. 
The service is fast and the food is reasonably priced and they serve a mean cup of Hong Kong Milk Tea.
Malaysian Beef Curry with Rice and Hong Kong Milk Tea
The beef curry was delicious! A little on the spicier side, but the steamed rice and cucumber helped to cut the spiciness down. Really hearty and delicious curry with huge chunks of beef. 

Baked Pork Chop with Cream and Tomato sauce on Fried Rice with HK Milk Tea
I didn't even realize I got the same thing that I ordered almost exactly two years ago - I guess I'm more of a creature of habit than I thought. The pork chops were still huge! I also figured out that the sauces individually aren't the best, but together the mix of the sauces works pretty well with the tomato adding a slightly stronger flavour to the lighter cream sauce and the combined sauces makes the fried rice taste better. So in the future - order this with fried rice not spaghetti. 

November 11, 2012

I love Chinese Afternoon Tea. It's great on weekends - especially if you grab dim sum early in the morning and skip lunch, then you're usually starving by 2:30pm which is when afternoon tea specials kick in! It's that perfect time between lunch and dinner when you can grab food. Some Chinese restaurants serve a special afternoon tea menu, while others serve the same dishes at dinner but at a discounted price as an afternoon tea special.


Hainan Chicken with rice
This is probably the most popular dish on the menu at Phoenix Restaurant. They're well known for their Hai nan Chicken with rice. The chicken is super tender and juicy - the best part is that there are no bones! My second favourite part of the plate is the rice (which is amazing). It's really fragrant and you can tell that it was steamed with chicken oil. 

Yunnan fish and tofu with rice noodles (mi xian)
I really like Yunnan rice noodles. The noodles are soft, thin and tasty and with the clear and simple broth - it's yummy. The fish, tofu and winter melon were great complements to the noodle soup. Even though the fish looked like it was fried, it actually wasn't - instead it was lightly battered and a little soggy which I thought was a great way to cook the fish.

Yunnan preserved vegetables and shredded pork with rice noodles 
Whereas the fish and tofu had a simple and clean taste, I thought the preserved vegetables and shredded pork overwhelmed the noodle soup since they were so strongly flavoured. The vegetables added more of a saltiness to the broth which took away from the tastiness of the noodle soup.

Baked pork chop with tomato and cream sauce on spaghetti
I found the ketchup sauce was too sweet for my liking and the cream sauce was a like a watered down version of cream of mushroom. I didn't like either of the sauces. However, they did serve us two gigantic pork chops (which was a lot of meat) and it was quite good. 

Overall: Phoenix Restaurant serves one of the best Hainan Chicken rice dishes I've ever tried and the accompanying steamed rice is also delicious. However, I found that the quality of the dishes has decreased over the years - it used to be much better. The service was insanely fast though - we were in and out in 40 minutes. 

Phoenix Restaurant on Urbanspoon

Kandahar Kabab

Jan 31, 2021 @ 45 Overlea

Two KK Fish ($11 for 2) and Chicken Seekh Kabob ($11.98 for two with rice)
First the fish, these were much bigger than the Markham Road location and had way more white meat (almost seemed like they used a different type of fish (it was so charred I couldn't tell and I'm not great at recognizing the differences between fish). The dill sauce was excellent paired with the fish, but sadly this location's fish was super salty (much prefer the Markham road location's). 
The chicken seekh kabob was okay, but again very salty. It paired well with the rice (and the rice here is better than Naan & Kabob's, but not as good as Aleppo's). 
The naan was delicious when it was hot (try it here!)

Jan 23, 2021 @ 2307 Markham Road
Since we were in this part of town, we grouped a few Ubereats BOGO deals together and picked them all up so that we had food for the next few days (good time to try them all and it was an economical way to make one trip out and avoid excess trips). 
There was quite a lineup here (which I could barely bypass to pick up my food). 
KK Fish ($13.99 for two)

The fried fish were rather tiny in the big tray container they gave us. Taste wise, the fish were pretty tasty cooked with tons of spices and with a slight char from the frying. The dill sauce that came with the fish paired really well to help offset the heat from the fried fish. Since the fish were quite tiny, they didn't have a lot of meat, but what they did have was white fleshed and very tasty. It was pretty easy to finish a fish and they also came with naan and lots of sauce and salad (but the salad didn't have dressing - not sure if they forgot).

Kandahar Kabab $15.50 and small Kandahar fries $3.50
So much food! There was a filet mignon kabab with vegetables and a kofta kabab. I might have been overambitious ordering the fries as an extra side, but they were really good.

Kandahar Chicken Kabab with chicken and kofta
Also really good with huge pieces of grilled and well-seasoned chicken breast.

Sushi Rock

Dragon on Fire Roll ($12 for 2 boxes)
The Dragon on Fire roll seemed interesting on Sushi Rock's BOGO options on Ubereats since it was a sushi roll with tiger shrimp tempura and crab, topped with red snapper and covered with a homemade sauce and torched. It turns out that it was a TON of sauce (more spicy mayo and bbq sauce than anything else really) that it totally took over and overpowered the fish (red snapper on top and fake crab and tempura shrimp inside the roll). 

Chichop

Update: Location has permanently closed

Chichop is co-located in one store space with a few other places (one of which being Coco Fresh Tea & Juice), so it made sense when their BOGO combo had Coco tea drinks on the side (added bonus!)
Spicy (Deep Fried) Chicken with bubble tea ($11 for two)
The spicy fried chicken was pretty nicely fried, but it was more batter than chicken though. The sauce was pretty good, but sadly it didn't cover all of the chicken. The dish also came with rice, steamed vegetables, chapchae and a fried egg on top - pretty well balanced. 
And then we got to choose the Coco bubble teas: sago mango green tea for one and pearl milk tea for the other. 
A pretty good deal for the price considering Coco bubble teas are about $5 regularly.

Gyubee Japanese Grill

Jan 28, 2021 

Share Tare Yaki ($16.99 BOGO)
Another new find on Ubereats, Gyubee is known for their All You Can Eat Japanese BBQ experience. However, due to the pandemic, they were offering these lunch boxes with meat, rice and a salad. The share tare yaki, which was a thinly sliced beef with delicious tasty seasoning and coated with a sweet teriyaki sauce, was delicious!! The beef and sauce also soaked into the sticky rice beneath and it was all so tasty together! The side salad was also really well done with cabbage and carrots and a yummy sesame dressing that gave it a mayo and nutty flavour with a hint of horseraddish too. 
I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a good Ubereats BOGO deal! I will be back.

Field Fresh Supermarket food court

Jan 23, 2021

When I come to Field Fresh Supermarket, I usually make a beeline for Happy Congee to pick up their fresh fried snacks like youtiao (or dough stick) or sweet crullers and congee (one of the best combinations in Toronto). 
Can't help but pick this snack up! It's not oily and it's super crispy, light, airy and delicious when it's right out of the fryer. Highly recommend it here! (You can also watch them make it behind a clear window - which can be super entertaining)

Update: Mom's Kitchen location has closed and reopened as Shun Hong Kitchen
I haven't taken a good look at the food court to see what else there is here - until I saw Mom's Kitchen on Ubereats doing the BOGO promotion.
Tofu Soup with Pork and Egg ($12.99 for two)
A really good deal considering how much tofu was in the soup! Good spiciness - not too spicy, but enough so that it was flavourful. It also had a good proportion of pork and was very tasty overall. I would definitely get this again at this price! 
The soup also came with some mini banchan: kimchi and chapchae. The chapchae was rather one dimensional in flavour (just soy sauce), but kimchi was okay.

ZenQ

 A Taiwanese dessert place on Ubereats offering BOGO, but on their meals and bubble tea (and not on their more popular desserts)
Iced Mango Black tea ($5.70 for two) and Taiwanese Minced Pork Rice ($11.90 for two)
One of the mango black teas had 30% sugar and the other had no sugar (since you never know with new/unknown bubble tea places). The one with no sugar had a stronger tea flavour (as expected), but the one with sugar had way too much and covered the flavour of the tea while sweetening the drink artificially (which was too much for me). 
The minced pork was tasty and savoury and it paired well with the lightly seasoned sweet cabbage and carrots as well as the pickled vegetables - it also came with a tea egg which was pretty good. All of this was on a big portion of rice, so well worth it!

Starbucks Canada Menu options

Jan 20, 2021

As a huge pistachio flavour lover, I was super excited to see that Starbucks was introducing a pistachio latte in Canada (FINALLY! Is the pistachio craze starting in Canada? I'm still upset about the lack of pistachio ice cream options)
Grande Pistachio latte $5.45 (2 shots of pistachio syrup, regular brown sugar topping)
Drink was okay, but it didn't have as strong a pistachio flavour as I would have liked (I guess two pumps of syrup/sugar isn't enough, but I really didn't want a super sweet drink). It actually had a stronger brown sugar and nutty flavour than pistachio flavour, but it did smell like pistachio when you whiffed the drink. 

Overall: Not super impressed, might need to try it again and see. 

Aug 11, 2020 @ 861 York Mills Road
Another week of Starbucks BOGO happy hour!
Star drink and Iced Almond Honey Flat White

Unfortunately, they messed up both my orders - I ordered a Star Drink, but I got a kiwi lemonade version instead of the kiwi starfruit refresher with the coconut beverage and the almond honey flat white was made with blonde coffee instead of their regular coffee. (I complained to Starbucks customer service and they refunded me my money - which was really nice). 
The kiwi starfruit lemonade was sour and sweet - but definitely not what I wanted. 
The almond honey flat white was pretty good even though it was made using the blonde roast (which is lighter and more mellow in flavour), but I think it would have tasted better with a bit of bitterness from the regular roast and it would have paired better with the sweet almond milk. 

Aug 6, 2020 @ 861 York Mills Road
Iced Peach Green Tea Lemonade and Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink
Starbucks has BOGO from 2-7pm, so I mobile ordered in advance and went to pick up my drinks. The line up wasn't very long and my drinks were made pretty quickly, so it was an easy 30 second pick up. The iced guava passionfruit drink was really good (and it had the delicious coconut beverage as well) - it is on the sweeter side, but the flavours were great (smooth pineapple and ginger flavour - more pineapple than ginger). 
The peach green tea lemonade was kinda weird in my opinion - the lemonade is on the sour side and the peach green tea was sweeter - but it kind of tasted bitter altogether. I wouldn't get the peach green tea lemonade in the future (and I might just avoid the lemonade). It did get better the longer it sat and the ice melted, but it still wasn't to my taste. 

June 29, 2020 @ 661 University Ave.
Strawberry Coconut drink
I like the coconut beverage and I think this drink was a lot more refreshing with a slightly muted acai berry flavour. The strawberries were frozen solid though. 

June 18, 2020 @ Shops at Don Mills


Starbucks has buy one get one free from 2 - 7pm on all their drinks. With Covid concerns, I thought I'd order ahead through mobile order and arrive just to pick up my drink. Unfortunately, the social distancing and line-up situation was not great. There was a line-up in the store, outside the store and a semi-separate mobile order line-up (which took about 15 minutes); however, once you entered into the store, there were just social distancing circles drawn on the ground for people to wait inside, but no real "line-up" for drinks. My order kind of sat behind the counter for a while, but I had to figure out a way to navigate around the circles and point it out to the busy barista. 
Left to Right: Dragon Drink and Mango Dragon fruit Refresher
The dragon drink was made with a coconut beverage which was quite sweet and kind of muted the stronger flavour of the mango dragon fruit flavour. The drink was still okay though. The mango dragon fruit refresher was sweet and the flavours were much more prominent and sharper in this drink with the berries and mango coming out more. 

April 4, 2018 @ 8 Wellesley Street E
Redeemed my Starbucks stars for a Thai Chicken Wrap with peanut sauce
It looks like half a wrap, but it's actually pretty filling. I would highly recommend that you eat it with the peanut sauce cause it makes it taste better. 

Matcha Blossoming Rose Tea Latte

I'm super happy that Starbucks rolled out the blossoming rose tea latte in Canada first! The blossoming rose tea latte is delicious! I love the rose and hibiscus crystals on top - they're sweet and fragrant without being overpowering. The rose water flavour is evident in the tea too - but it's not too strong. I didn't really love the matcha - so I might try the black tea or rooibos going forward.
Update: my go-to drink now is the rooibos blossoming rose tea latte (bonus: it doesn't have caffeine which makes it a perfect afternoon drink)

May 26, 2017 @ 37 Grosvenor Street

Quiche
I'm glad this was a reward redemption for getting 125 stars at Starbucks because this would not be worth the $6.95 it costs at regular price. It was okay - but you can get entire 9 inch quiche pies at grocery stores or you can make your own quiche (or multiple quiches) for the same amount of money. 


November 17, 2016 
I love my sweets and I adore Nanaimo Bars! (I'm so glad it's a Canadian dessert, but I'm sad that I can't always find them in the bakeries I go to). I was pretty excited when I saw that they were being offered at Starbucks - so I had to get one.

It was pretty good. The custard flavoured butter icing was decent and the chocolate layer on top was good. The crumb based layer was great too. The only downside was the pricing on this - for such a small square - I can't believe they charged me around $3. 

March 17, 2016 @ 37 Grosvenor Street
My Starbucks rewards were adding up faster with my Gold Status.  I earned enough points to get another freebie and my coworker recommended that I try the Zesty Chicken and Black Bean Salad. 
I still can't believe this retails for about $10 (with tax)
My tossed salad
I loved the zesty marinara dressing and the quinoa. Quinoa is delicious and it's a filling grain. The chicken was a little harder to pick out from this salad (but I found out that all the tiny chicken pieces fell to the bottom of the salad when I was tossing it).  The salad is on the tinier side (the bigger box is deceiving), but it can fill you up for a while and it's probably the best freebie you can get at Starbucks!

February 18, 2016
When I was purchasing this, a few things crossed my mind: 
1) They're not so good at the savoury items...maybe their pastries will be better
2) What's the biggest pastry I can get so I can fill up faster? 
3) Why is there so much sugar on this? (is this Diabetes waiting to happen?)

Morning Bun
It's basically a bun with lots of sugar and cinnamon - the Starbucks version of a cinnamon bun  without the icing and without those doughy layers or a honey bun with cinnamon added in (since it was kinda fried). Super sweet - as I expected I guess. 



Breakfast sandwich with double smoked bacon, cheddar and egg
I like the croissant bun, but again - a lot more bread than actual bacon, cheddar and egg.  The proportions are all wrong.  I had the ham, egg and Swiss cheese breakfast sandwich on another day and I liked that one a lot better.

August 7, 2015 @ 47 Charles Street W


Starbucks has been offering food for a while now, but I just haven't really gotten around to trying it even though I've reached Gold Star status for a while now. 
I decided to use my next freebie to check out the BBQ Brisket Sandwich:
Unfortunately, the sandwich turned out a little sad...there was some beef brisket, but it was more bread than anything else.  I would definitely not pay $7 for this.
