Saw chef Alvin while I was there, the restaurant was definitely on the pricier side, but I would say it was totally worth it. The food and drinks were both amazing!!!
The service was exceptional! We were sitting at the chefâs counter and interaction with the staff made the evening more engaging and enjoyable. The food was delicious, especially spicy tofu and lava cake!
It was my momâs birthday and
The food here was great and so was the service. The staff was friendly and even gave us recommendations of what to do while we are visiting Toronto. I enjoyed the food very much and loved sitting at the Chefâs Row and watching the chefs at work.
We sat at the chefs rail because we love to watch prep cooks. Solid in the kitchen. Service attentive but the bar and server weren't always in sync, so we would be asked twice for orders. (Better than not being asked at all!) The open wire racks of prepped foods looked directly at us, and were an eyesore. The spring rolls, which came highly recommended, were uninteresting, but everything else, including refreshing and interesting cocktails, was lovely. Not sure we would return but enjoyed the outing.
Food and service were top notch. Probably the best pork dish (Iberico char siu) we've ever had. The R&D fried rice, and Char siu, housemade milk bun as well as the sticky toffee pudding dessert were all excellent.
Incredible food, really enjoyed. Thank you master chef runner up Eric Chong.
Wanted to support Eric Chong, Canadian Asian winner of MasterChef Canada Season 1, so I came by for dinner on Sunday June 26 and ordered the following: HUSH & WONDER cocktail ** Liked it. Refreshing. Worth $15. Some other cocktails on the menu are priced $19. I usually don't want to spend more than $15 or $17 on a cocktail. ROASTED BEETS as the appie ** Liked it. Flavourful indeed. Will recommend it. @WOK_LOBSTER as a main ** Liked it, but won't get it again. Even though it is a delicious dish, I wouldn't spend $75 on it. I am happy to try it once since this dish originated from Eric Chong's iconic dish Lobster Chow Mein. WAGYU BEEF as another main ** American wagyu, not Japanese, so it is rather chewy and does not melt in your mouth like Japanese Wagyu. It is subjective to personal taste. I've been spoiled by various types of Japanese Wagyu in the past, so I'm not a huge fan of the American way. It is still a tasty dish - just not so much my type. Service was excellent. My server came from Vancouver like me. He also offered a couple of char siu baos on the house as we waited for our food to come. The char siu baos are unique and one of a kind, so I would recommend them for those who like regular char siu baos and want to give it a try.
Not the type to go out of my way to write an interview, but R&D is a must try. Will definitely be going back. Everyone of the staff is so attentive and the food is more than amazing.
Wonderful take on chinese food - love the twist the chefs put on chinese classics like fried rice, BBQ pork buns, etc.
