yes the ramen and the udon noodles may have been more expensive than their downtown equivalent but these were very well done, with a broth that had a good layering of flavours, served quick and hot. Compared to other places at Pearson I would be pleased to eat here again - actually given the quick and friendly service and the fact that I really enjoyed my meal, I'd be happy to go back even if it were in downtown.
Was looking for some noodles and came across this shop. Price was overpriced at C$15.99 but thankfully it was tasty.
I love the peanuts that are free while you wait. the burgers are cooked perfectly with a nice soft white bun. fries seem expensive until you realize you get the cup and extras in the bag so just go for the small and share it. if you get a large, it will be wasted.
It is a chain of Sushi shops. This one in terminal 1 at Toronto Pearson Airport. The food is good, but mildly overpriced, but then again it is inside an airport.
I have stopped here several times for a box and a bowl of soup. It's largely cafeteria style, so think factory production. However, it is a nice spot for a change of pace on the pallet while traveling.
We had a Donbury Bowl. Description and pictures on the menu sounded appetizing enough...the first attempt was with salmon. Salmon really tasted awful, dry and tasteless. The lady at the counter told us that this is the way they do it...however she offered to exchange the salmon with chicken. The new bowl was even worst...the chicken really looked terrible and we could not eat it (see picture). The Chinese cabbage was “half dead” under the chicken with few pieces of carrots and dry rice. Cost: 15 Canadian Dollars. It should not be even legal to sell something like this....
The menu description of the Donburi Bowl sounded good enough...grilled chicken, steamed rice, mixed vegetables and a teriyaki glaze but the actually food was bland and boring. The chicken was almost tasteless, the mixed vegetables were a few small pieces of lettuce and an white unidentified vegetable, and the teriyaki glaze was a sauce squirted over the top. It looked bland and tasted the same. Not recommended.
I thought I would grab a quick bite to eat before a long overseas journey. Saw the picture of a bowl of soup and not a bad calorie count. So I got a simple bowl of Udon with chicken and veggies in it. $$$$$$16.94$$$$. Wow. The soup was not bad. The service ok. But the price.... go buy a banana next door for $2.00. I’m going to do a write up in it . Criminals and those doing time in federal institutions should consider leaving a life of crime and going into airport food services. Think of it as a lateral career move. You get to hold people hostage(after security), charge exorbitant amounts of money, and it’s all legal.
This place is never too busy and most of the time looks kind of empty or sad as the decorator was not very inspired at all. Lacks some colours, some life, some knick-knacks, some customers. The customer service people are the great asset to this place. They are nice, polite, young and eager to help as they don't have many clients.The food is good but not too much variety and really pricey as you can buy 1big bag of 10 lbs. potatoes for the price of a serving. While waiting for the food you can enjoy their peanuts, which is this restaurant biggest feature /attraction. The place in Leaside is well located but never crowded, need to diversify their food choices and to add something to make the place more homey. Find another decorator :-) buy some cheerful paint, change the furniture and diversify your food. More customers will come. Cheers!
Stopped here for a quick dinner on my way through the airport in October 2018. I asked for the Bento Box and the girl at the counter replied with a snarky attitude "We don't have those today, we have the Donburi bowls, they are the same thing". I'm quite sure they are not the same thing but I said "ok" and I ordered the Salmon Donburi. Never during the rest of this transaction did she look at me or acknowledge my existence even after I said thank you. The guy cooking the food then proceeded to wipe down various parts of the restaurant for 5 minutes, I assumed he was waiting for the food to cook or something. Then the girl snarled at him and said something along the lines of "we have orders". He continued cleaning, then eventually I could hear the girl at the counter bickering with another woman behind the counter about why he wouldn't stop cleaning and make the food. It was pretty awkward for me. Eventually he stopped cleaning and made my food. When he was done, he slammed it down on the counter and turned his back and kept cleaning. I asked the girl if that food was mine and she just replied "yes". Have to love that friendly Toronto attitude...Food was alright but a small bowl of rice with a small piece of salmon and a water was not worth $19.19 even by airport standards. Might be ok if you just pick up some of the already done Sushi and buy it, but I assume it is very overpriced. I would avoid this place.
