The purists can opt for steamed dumplings but try as you may, you wonโ€™t be able to

  • A twenty-four hour pho joint? Yup, thatโ€™s Pho Pasteur. Located at the corner of Dundas and Spadina, this cash-only joint is here 24/7 to ensure no pho craving goes unsated.

  • Tacos El Asador is located in Koreatown – not exactly what comes to mind when you are craving tamales, tacos and burritos. But the family-run restaurant has been around for 25 years and is a go-to for locals. The no-nonsense spot doesnโ€™t woo you with its decor, but what it lacks in ambiance it makes

  • For a restaurant thatโ€™s been around forever, Taste of China still surprises its enthusiastic clientele of late night diners.

  • It took a long time for Japanese ramen to become popular in Toronto. When it finally did, in 2012, the trend proliferated quickly, much of it mediocre.

  • With a closing time at 4 a.m, Rol San is available practically around the clock for dim sum fanatics. The restaurant eschews dim sum carts and makes everything to order, ensuring freshness with every little bamboo-covered dish that comes out of the kitchen and into the remarkably cavernous dining room. Itโ€™s minimally decorated, with thin

  • Quintessentially and iconically Chinatown, Kingโ€™s Noodle draws gazes up and down the street for the dripping red-skinned ducks and geese, necks attached, and Herculean slabs of barbecued pork hanging in the window. Inside, chefs in white hats work their magic over flaming woks, deep-frying dough fritters for dipping into congee and delicately turning out fresh

A good time to
