Cantonese Finger Foods- Delivered
A U of T club I work with is holding a reception on Thursday that is supposed to have dumplings and other Hong Kong appetizers. Can anyone recommend an affordable place in Chinatown that will deliver to the campus, and that has good dumplings?
I would be so grateful for any help that I'll invite any Samaritans to the reception (and the film that follows)!
Zyng Asian Grill - Yonge & Bloor
Oja perhaps?
They have great kimchi and an extensive menu for 40% less than spring rolls. I heartily reccomend
NACHOS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Despite my best efforts, I have yet to have sufficiently hot, cheesy, and spicy nachos. You hear a lot of chowhype about sneaky dees "kings crown" nachos but i find them cold, and disappointing. Follow these recommendations carefully.
Office Tower Eats
The office tower lunch is usually consumed out of necessity and not desire, but I have had some exceptionally good office tower meals. What are your favorite ground floor cafes and entrees?
I like the Gyros at Maria's Corner Cafe on ferrand near the DVP.
Nachos in T.O
Guys, I listened to you and spent some hard earned cash on the "Kings Crown" nachos at Sneaky Dees. I hate to say it but they were AWFUL. The beans were absolutely flavorless, the chips were old, the cheese was straight from No Frills, and the whole dish was cold. The nachos looked acceptable but if that's all I cared about I would have stayed home on Google.
I also tried, a "Mexican Sandwich" a terrible move in retrospect considering that any good authentic mexican restaurant would have tortas on the menu. The sandwich was and awful blend of burnt cheese and underdone beans. Thankfully i could wash it away with 4 orders of "authentic" mexican beer- Rekard's.
Friends, I do not hold it against any of you, I'm sure you really like Sneaky's. I might even trust your lo-mein tips. But asking for mexican advice from torontonians is like asking for fitness info from the folks in Plato's cave.
