This place is ALWAYS busy. Possibly one of the most affordable Vietnamese restaurants in the city so be prepared to use credit or cash. No frills esthetic, but perfect for large portion take out noodles and spring rolls had a perfect crunch. Next time I will have to try the Pho!

Hunterhorn Plaza – Sushi Kimu
Small group seating and big on freshness. Sushi Kimu also offers “jumbo” sized rolls of your favourites. Tucked away in Hunterhorn Plaza – this restaurant is great for date nights and offers a menu with interesting rolls.
Hot Plate – Biriyani & Kababs on the Go!
My parents have already accepted I have failed them in the traditional cooking department, so I ordered takeout here when they came to visit. This corner of the falconridge strip mall is full of excellent takeout, dine-in and caterers. Hot plate offers extremely reasonable kababs and biriyani, which is great for the days you don’t…
Marina Dosa – Again
Alright, I finally elected to try something OTHER THAN DOSA on the menu. Today it was Chole Bathure. Wow, I was so excited when this arrived at our table, and I’m pretty sure other patrons were jealous. The bathure was freshly fried, big and poofy. Flaky outside, doughy inside – a fried bread heaven. The…
Tacos Mexico!
The name of this restaurant gets straight to the point. TACOS. Dishing up several varieties, Asada (steak), Al Pastor (spicy pork with pineapple), Carnitas (pulled pork), Barbacoa, Chicken in Adobo Sauce, Chorizo Sausage, Chipotle Beef and Bean&Feta. Hostess was incredibly patient with me & my questions over the phone. Took her advice and tried a…
Hunterhorn Bakery
This strip mall is full of interesting eats – including the Hunterhorn Bakery which has a devote local following, serving up fresh breads, vietnamese subs, baking, pastries and cakes. Unfortunately no egg tarts here, but I tried a classic coconut bun and bun stuffed with red bean paste. A golden baked bun that is slightly…
Ramadan Catering – Show off to your friends
So we were throwing a party for about 40ppl, and I did not want to cook. A good co-worker of mine recommended this caterer (and takeout) business in the NE. I met with the head chef G. and he accommodated all of our needs – e.g. mild seasoning, timing, and sizing of our order. Everything…
Chennai Spice – Dosa Festival
II am a HUGE fan of dosa – but had no idea there could be SO MANY VARIETIES! I was truly excited to hear that Chennai Spice was hosting a weeklong dosa festival. I took my friends, family and may have visited 3 times during that week. Traditional dosa is a vegetarian’s dream – a…
Marina Dosa – Yes I go here ALOT.
Dosa….again. It’s a staple for me, and when it is this inexpensive, why attempt to make it (a sub-par version nonetheless) at home? They even have takeout dosa for FIVE DOLLARS. Not sure how they manage that as the packaging alone costs something! All that aside, I love the portions, tasty masala potato stuffing and…
Rice for King – NW – Best takeout noodle bowls!
I love my vermicelli, and I love the heaping portions you get from Rice for King (meat, noodle & spring rolls). Everything is tasty here, consistent, and a great stop after picking up family/friends from the airport. The takeout containers are a great size and yes, get people excited about the food as the meals…
