Pizza Pide for good Turkish pizza.
Sushi Bong
Or if you like sashimi buy some tuna from Toro and have them cut it for you sashimi style.

Do NOT go to Sushi Bong.

Easily one of the worst "sushi" experiences I have had in Toronto.

[elvisahmed]

Really? I don't know we always had good sushi there Value wise. Maybe it had to do with the us being there with a Korean Gal who always called him uncle :)

fish sandwich at the Fish Shop on College.

I agree with a lot of the suggestions mentioned: Depends what you want to eat...but here are some places I can think of for now....

Manpuku : Japanese pork noodle soup, broth is so yummy and the noodles are so springy
Fish shop - Any fish sandwich
Chopin - Hungarian potato pancake, beet borsht soup
Sukothai - Best pad thai (sukothai), nice thick tom yum goong soup on Parliment
Ka Chi - Pork Bone Soup (Korean) with rice
Home of hot Taste - Regular Wings = salt and pepper wings
Nova Vera/ Caldense - Portuguese Custards tarts, or pressed ham and cheese sandwich
Square Boy - Chicken Souvlaki, fries with gravy

Manpuku for Japanese, Pho Hung is pretty good for pho/viet (although I haven't been to Golden Turtle, which does get raves), Jumbo Empanadas in Kensington, Caplansky's (if you're into deli).

With the weather cooling down I would recommend Cafe Polonez or Chopin on Roncesvalles.
Great Potato Pancakes, Perogi, soups, and Polish style meats etc.
Prefer Polonez for the starches, and Chopin for the meats.
Both are good, reasonable.
Very large portions, as well.

My top three recs:

1) Swatow (on Spadina, North of Dundas) for Shrimp in Lobster Sauce.
2) Kings Noodle (Northwest corner of Spadina and Dundas) for BBQ chicken and noodle soup.
3) Churrasqueira Costa Verde (Rogers and Oakwood) for Grilled Chicken

[rapago]

I agree with your King's Noodle suggestion. This is a perennial favourite for my family. The noodle soup, in all its various forms, is great.

www.theprague.ca You won't leave here hungry!

[frenchcustard]

Golden Turtle on Ossington for some beautiful pho

[domesticgodess]

I agree on all the above suggstions.
Here is my two cents...New York Subway (for roti's not subways..its a strange name for a restaurant that doesnt serve subways). They are located on queen street west.
Plus..cant go wrong with Mother Dumplings on Hurontario for dumplings (this restaurant was named accordingly).

[shpeizmaven]

Really like New Your Subway. Tried a bunch of theri roti-like concoctions and all have been really good.

[Dimbulb]

Mother's is on downtown on Huron. Hurontario is halfway to Hamilton.

Sukhothai is to me the best bang for buck in the city.

Utopia on College west of Bathurst
Mezzetta on St Clair west of Bathurst

[shpeizmaven]

Just had dinner at Mezzetta last Sunday. Found it very disappointing. You can do much better elsewhere for inexpensive Mideastern food.

[evansl]

Agree. It C- at best.

[Vinnie Vidimangi]

Shpeizmaven , where?

[bytepusher]

Old thread, this guy hasn't posted since March, wouldn't necessarily expect an answer.

Just had dinner at Utopia and was disappointed. It seemed like it took a while to get our food. We ordered a Utopia burger, regular poutine and a grilled salmon burrito. The poutine was good..a little salty. My grilled salmon burrito tasted bland. The rice that is came with was horrible. It tasted really dry and there were these hard pieces in the rice..either it was undercooked rice or dried out. The sesame slaw did not taste good either. I just thought the overall mix of the meal did not go together. I would not order that again. My friend did not enjoy the burger either, even though it came with tons of toppings, he felt like there was just too much cheese in it. We sat in the back room when it was full and it was so noisy. People had to yell inorder to talk to each other. The front of the restaurant, although full as well was so different. It wasn't loud at out...almost lounge like. I wish we sat there instead. Not sure if I will go back to eat here.
