"Tremendously creative" chef Tom Thai turns out the "best ceviche in town" alongside other "well-spiced, innovative" Asian "tastes" with a heavy Pan-Latin accent at this "trendy" Ossington eatery; "gracious, friendly" servers work the "always-busy little" space where a no-reservations policy often leads to a "bit of a wait for a table."

Elegant yet inviting neighbourhood bistro. Chef-owner Tom Thai prepares an ever-changing set of dishes that feature pan-Asian ingredients with Latin American and Mediterranean preparations, served tapas-style for easy grazing and sharing. Offerings may include sea bream ceviche with yuzu and shiso leaf, spice- and tea-smoked quail with green papaya, or oven-steamed Pacific halibut with shiitake... more
