When my favourite Chinese BBQ restaurant in the city (Ka Ka Lucky) burned down this summer, I was in shock. Sure, some of it had to do with the fact that I was eating there at the time. The aftermath left a gaping hole in my lunchtime routine. Then when Kom Jug Yuen closed-up shop…

Federick Restaurant ~ 1920 Ellesmere Rd ~ (416) 439-9234
Federick Restaurant is renowned for bringing Hakka food to Toronto. Well, Scarborough actually. And with a recent expansion into a new Markham location, these guys are obviously doing something right (their take-out bag suggests they’ve have been doing so for the past 20 years). I am taken here as a Father’s Day gift. My expectations were exceeded on many…
Su-Good Chinese Restaurant ~ 2626 Danforth ~ (416) 691-8828
We recently ran into one of my wife’s friends at our local Target. Turns out that we both moved into the same neighbourhood not so long ago. We began exchanging stories, mostly about being new parents:) Anyways, the conversation meandered into the realms of food, and then local food. And though neither of us have lived in the hood…
Ka Ka Lucky Seafood BBQ – 349 Broadview Ave – (416) 461-3811

What better place to start then than with our local, Chinatown East lunch-hour go-to? Recommended by Blair Phillips, tried (numerous times) by the MIJO sales team,…
Danforth Dragon – 861 Danforth Ave – (416) 461-9238
Having finally moved into a new house on the Danforth, my wife and I recently found ourselves looking for a new local place for Chinese delivery. Since we lived on the Danforth before, we remembered the Chinese restaurant next to Square Boy at Jones Ave. named Danforth Dragon. This place stuck in my memory because its “DD” initials and, more importantly, because of its…
Congee Star – 900 Don Mills Rd – (416) 385-8822
Tucked away in a mall off Don Mills Rd, Congee Star has, without question, one of the most extensive menus of any restaurant I’ve visited recently… so much so that it’s tough to get a seat during the lunch rush, even if it’s a table for one. Good thing their $6.25 take-out lunch special is…
