Food Scene

Menu #91 Beef with Black Bean Sauce on Rice is insanely delicious. It is a bit spicy but well worth the cost. Look to try any of their Rice dishes with beef and various sauces. They're in the #90s and are all great.

There is a more famous Pho shop across the street (Pho Linh), but this store has bigger portions and a much bigger variety of choices to choose from. I also prefer the taste here.

This is the closest mall to our location. It is a fairly decent sized mall with a medium sized food court. You will find many clothing stores here, although none of the luxury brands are located here. Think of this mall as an "essentials" kind of mall where you will find all of the essentials that you need, like groceries, clothing, etc...

This spot is absolutely amazing to go to with friends or even your family! It is LOADED with board games and the atmosphere is very friendly and relaxing. I highly recommend you to come here with friends since it only costs $5 for unlimited board games. There is also another Snakes & Latte location a bit further away if this one is full, which it occasionally is.

Sightseeing

This is Toronto's most iconic landmark, and is arguably Canada's as well. When travelling here, don't forget to visit Ripley's Aquarium and take some photos of the Rogers Center (the Toronto Blue Jays play here) as well! There is also the 360 restaurant located in the CN tower which I recommend, although it is pricey.

When visiting Toronto, Chinatown is a must-visit, hands down. Chinatown is loaded with restaurants and snacks as well as shops to purchase accessories and clothing. Walking around Chinatown is extremely fun, even for locals because there is so much interesting places enter. Another great aspect of Chinatown is that restaurants here close extremely late so it is perfect for late night meals. The main form of payment here is by cash, although some places take credit/debit cards.

Arts & Culture

This is a fantastic gallery. There are artworks, sculptures, special exhibits, etc... the only downside is that it is usually busy a louder than expected.

Essentials

Amazing asian grocery store with unique food products. They also have a fish taiyaki (think waffle with a custard/red bean filling inside) stand that is popular. They generally specialize in korean products and carry very little chinese products.
