      <content>A couple of years ago a friend took me to a place called Niwa Japanese Restaurant. I had such an amazing experience there for lunch! We ordered soft shell crab, a few sushi rolls of course, miso soup etc. The best part was the chef gave us complimentary spicy salmon hand rolls, and they were one of the best I've ever had! </content>

      <content>I second that!!
By far the best sushi in Oakville. The only issue I have with the sushi is that it's small. It's still worth the price though.
Try the Spicy Tuna, Spicy Salmon or Kani rolls!</content>

      <content>agree with the Niwa rec.  someone on another post/site mentioned japanese owners, i confirmed they were in fact korean.

nothing wrong with that since the quality of the fish and presentation were top notch.  they gave us a gratis soup with enoki and fried garlic (probably dashi based) it was delicious.  portions are generous and great value for money.  plus they were so friendly.</content>

      <content>Bahn Thai is best Thai in the area, Spoon and Fork is also really good and a little cheaper

Summit Garden has very good Dim Sum (Winston Churchill and Dundas)</content>

      <content>For lunch or brunch, Stoney's on Kerr is pretty good.

Used to go to Spoon and Fork alot but found it went downhill in recent orders

I have yet to find a good pizza place in Oakville</content>

      <content>I'll add my usual mention of Sweet Smoke...  Although I guess it's at the Burlington border

reccomendations:  pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw topping,  cuban sandwich, quesadillas, tortilla soup.

      <content>Thanks all for the input...Have enjoyed Spoon and Fork before and hope it has not gone downhill. Stoney's is always solid. Did nor know of Sweet Smoke but will definitely try it..same with Bahn Thai and Niwa Japanese.....A few of my favourites..La Cucina...Trattoria Timone...smoked meat sandwich at Fifties Diner...Tako Sushi (they deliver)...Butcher at Florence Meats and the kebabs from Dietrichs...Don't really have a reasonably priced Indian place .</content>

      <content>the wingery for a wing splurge.

they are battered but oh so crispy and gigantic.  "hot" sauce is more like a medium.  I like to eat at least 3 at the counter otherwise the coating goes a little soft when I take it home.

they need a bench outside so people can sit and eat!</content>

      <content>I've had wings all over the GTA, and the Wingery's are up there with the best of them.

I'd suggest the Dry Cajun (I would not consider these hot at all, just flavourful), or Swamp Sauce (classic wing hot sauce), my fav's.
They are pricy, but you are getting quality since they only use huge, fresh wings, not frozen.
Great for a treat though.</content>

      <content>Agabi on Lakeshore is amazing for mediterrenean/middle eastern. huge portion, affordable wine list, really really great shawarma - very authentic Egyptian spicing. worth the drive.</content>

      <content>I am also a fan of Agabi's...  athough I disagree about the large portions/pricing thing ( I find it on the higher end of the price spectrum, and portions smaller-than-average for a shawarma place)..but it is definitely high quality</content>

      <content>Please correct me if I am wrong but Rocco's in Oakville is not the same owner as Rocco's Plum Tomato on the Queensway.  Always a great meal and I am a very picky diner.  I have heard however that the manger has left to open his own place and I hope things don't decline as a result.</content>

      <content>For Thai the place we keep going back to is the Bamboo Legend, at 3rd Line and Dundas.  It is a small restaurant with a VERY busy takeout operation.  I find it a cut above Bahn Thai and a couple of other Thai places that we have tried here.  Of the 20 or so times we have ordered here, we have only been a bit disappointed 2 or 3 times.

Our favourites include the SPICY Seafood salad, the spicy fillet of fish and the green curries, which are lighter on the coconut milk which is often over-used in other places. </content>

      <content>Gege's is on Speers near Kerr.

I have ordered there once, and it was not good.  Too doughy and undercooked.

Oakville doesn't have any good delivery pizza that I know of.  I usually get Pizza Nova, and ask for thin crust, whole wheat and well done and it is not bad.  Mama's is not bad but pricey</content>

      <content>Ok, have found an excellent indy pizza joint in Kerr Village, Fantastico Pizza
www.famousfantsticopizza.ca,  we had 2 slices there yesterday while walking around the area. Perfectly done, nice and crispy thin crust, not at all doughy and very reasonable pricing. They also do everyting on site which is always nice to know. It was one of the best slices i have had in years. I was oohing over it so much my hubby was embarassed. But when its good you gotta appreciate it. It is right by the Stoneys bakery across the street, and a cafe is opening up next door to it.  I can hardly wait to go back.  They also have a Burlington Location www.burlingtonpizza.ca

      <content>Mye sushi for sure. As a former chef and lover of sushi, I must say that Mye puts out very good stuff. The real test for me is the basic rice and fish and they do a wonderful job. Enjoy    </content>
