Toronto Restaurants

  1. Bright Pearl

    Walk by the stone lions up to the 2nd floor of Hsin Kuang shopping center and discover this Cantonese-style banquet hall. Dim sum rules the roost - dozens upon dozens of dishes (dumplings, wantons, satays, pork buns, spring rolls etc, including vegetarian) are wheeled out and enthusiastically proffered. The bathrooms are a source of much pride.

  2. Dumpling House Restaurant

    You can't go wrong here - walk right in, sit right down and order a steaming mass of pork, chicken, beef, seafood or vegetarian dumplings (pan-fried or steamed), impale them on your chopsticks, dunk them in soy sauce and dispense with them forthwith.

  3. Full Moon Vegetarian Restaurant

    Despite its lonesome location, Full Moon serves a chameleonic array of faux-meat dishes that have seduced Kensington Market's fiscally challenged residents. Cheery chef Ken Quah works wonders with mock beef, chicken and fish dishes. Try the house special: vegetarian fish with black bean sauce (around C$9 ) and finish off with some sweet sesame paste rice balls (six for $3).

  4. Goldstone Noodle Restaurant

    The chefs at this mirror-walled restaurant put on a front-window performance, plating up humongous mounds of twisted noodles mixed with chunks of glazed duck and orange-stained squid while other dismembered beasts dangle from hooks. Diners leave decimated piles of bowls, scoured clean of contents. This is apocalyptic eating!
