Yo, as a former food industry worker. That Waitress absolutely killed it by memorizing the ingredients. She probably has EVERY ingredient for EVERY dish memorized. That is how you earn a nice tip right there.
As an European I'd like to have mandatory or heavily forced tipping culture to go away. Pay decent wages to your employees and have voluntary tipping culture on the side.
Eating family style is the way to go. I think it's more of an Asian culture thing because that's how I grew up. Whenever I go out with my American friends, they always end up ordering their own food, but when I'm out with my Asian friends we just order everything and it all gets shared. Cultures are so different, not just cuisine-wise but food customs as well. Like when I'm out with my American friends, I still ask if they want to try some of my food and they look at me like I'm crazy or something
I was saying to my Mom. Asian culture, food is more like a social thing. Food is meant sharing. I told this to my American friends, in which they were surprised.
@@sarawinardi6745 I don’t think it’s just an Asian thing at all, it’s just how you are raised. I’m from the UK and this is always how my family order or make meals together. So much better that way
don't lump us all together some of us are adventurous :3 Tried everything my filipino girlfriend got me even chicken feet, which honestly the fish balls are way better. But yeah we selfish we like our own stuff so I can see that XD.
Visited Lee in 2018 during my trip to Toronto from the uK and it is one of my fav restaurants to date - great service great food and great value for money. Hats off to Susur
I volunteered about 6 months at Lee in 2010/2011, learned a lot from that time! It was cool to see Jonas and Brian on Iron Chef years later after working with them so long ago
The slaw is hands down one of my favourite dishes I've ever had the pleasure of eating, Lee on king is amazing if you're in Toronto it's worth the visit.
There is an Italian restaurant in Toronto called Mamma Martinos which is amazing. It isn’t a fancy place more of a casual family owned place but the food is great. I recommend the Penne Al Bruno if anyone goes!
It's a bit far from downtown but Poong Moon in North York has the best Korean spicy noodles in the city. The beef brisket + seafood jjamppong is a must try if you like Korean food. The place next door Ahzimae ZipBap also has a soup called Busan Style Pork Soup which is incredible. My wife moved here from Korea a few years ago and we'll go to Christie often for convenience from downtown but the trek to Finch area is worth it for these dishes!
i love the story @ 6:44 it says a lot about you. stepped in and bridged a gap between different generations and help sort out a confusion with someone who wasnt asking, but needed guidance, which you also provided.
Love this video, especially when you are talking about, and then going to, your father's restaurant. The Country Style anecdote is also hilarious. You do a great job man.
Jet just wanna say u make the best vids for urself dad. Just discovered u two. ❤ how u are so supportive in your own way for ppl around you. The edits are just so good, tracks, the storylines, contents, really alot of effort. So down to earth and relatable, not over selling wealth and fame.
I used to live in Toronto and one of the best restaurants I’ve ever tried for lunch was Pow Wow Cafe. Native breakfast food. Mildred’s temple was amazing too. I can’t stop thinking about Pow Wow though
@@silovikipuppetmaster7051 Not necessarily…maybe they could do it from the standpoint that he takes the hello fresh ingredients and adds 5 or less ingredients to show how you could turn a food service gourmet.
I live basically next to Country Style and man I'm so glad that place and Korean Village are still kicking. Killer Bee has been my favourite flavor @ NOB for years too. Great video.
Breakfast - avenue open concept Lunch/dinner/late night - anything on Yonge and finch is bomb! My personal favourites are … -chicken in the kitchen -magic noodle -petit potato -MeNami udon & sake bar - the famous owl of Minerva - aijsen ramen -hot star -katsuya If you go more down to like Scarborough area - midland specifically… -flaming kitchen -DM Chicken
Ahzimae zipbap really brings the taste of Korea. Genuinely love all dishes there. Not fancy at all but they really know how to cook! It’s near Yonge and finch
I’ve eaten at Lee a few times and it’s actually amazing and not insanely price for the incredible food. Everything is always so beautiful, fresh and tasted so good. The staff are also nice and very helpful. First time we went we couldn’t decide on what to order and they advised our table perfectly.
Thank you for your videos, I would have just gone to any old restaurant last time I was in Toronto but instead I looked into where your dad's restaurant is and went there and had the most amazing meal of my life.
Some of my favourite Toronto restaurants are, hanmoto, Seoul shakers/ shakers Club, gushi, macs pizza, Aloette, grandma loves you, bar isabel, katsuya, miku and DAM sandwiches
I live near Bellwoods and I'm big into a lot of the restaurants you mentioned Jet, if you wanna know some other good ones here are my favourites (apart from some you already listed) Arabesque (shish kebab + arabesque coffee) Peppers (honestly everything) Superpoint slice (I'm sure you've already had it) Sugo Donnas (roast beef sandwich) Jumbo empanada (cheese, beef, extra salsa) Logas corner (beef/pork plus pickled onions) Bitandos (panzerotti + sauce)
I'm from the States, but have family in Mississauga, ON - Pre covid we'd visit 2-3 times a year. MUST visit every time we visit is Sake Sushi - in Woodbrige ON. A little bit of a drive, but well worth it, in my opinion. Love the content and the videos!
Bro I’m so happy your dad got a restaurant, I’ve been watching you for a few years now and I remember looking forward to your new videos and watching your dad make a 5 star meal with fast food
I can truly say this having a great father growing up, still work with him everyday till this day. My biggest regrets in life is not trying, he never told me he’s disappointed or made it seem like that at all. But as I get older I realize I am practically my dad and I can see things the way he does. So I can see the ways he tried to make me be a better person, I can see what failed, and I see that him never giving up on me Was the single reason I am who I am today. I failed at so many things, but he always gave me a chance. I’m embarrassed of failing now, I do my best in everything. How do I tell him I want to kill myself When I have everything
Totally agree on the pizza nova. And love the hospitality at korean village bbq, oldest korean restaurant in the city, owner always brought out these amazing frozen grapes dessert ❤
I always loved the shoes the waitress wore no heals no toes and laces. My Dad used to take me to the Brunswick House and then schnitzel, yum! We live in Riverdale and love the food and vibe at Mimi's great. Vietnamese and we have been taking our kids there since they needed boosters now 26 and 30. They are well loved and I enjoy seeing other locals there! riversale
Jet, I love your content. Tbh, I one day just came across Levi’s stuff and started watching it but then he’s too much for me (definitely not in a bad way though cause I could see why he has followers). You’re just more mellow and down to earth which is very refreshing for a dude your age.
Wuddup man - first time watching your vids this week and commenting - had no idea you were in the area.. shout out to your dad! loved watching him when I was younger... your dad and Robert Rainford were two of my favorite chefs growin up. Do you guys eat any middle eastern food? There's a gem of a restaurant near Square One I think you need to feature!!
Thanks for the video been watching you a lot - good stuff! North of Brooklyn was a little pricey and the we’re too cool attitude is a bit much for me. Pizza GiGi Sicilian slices are the best in town (incase anyones wondering portnoy didnt try the sicilian) Aris on roncesvalles is my favourite breakfast joint For Japanese my favourites are don don at Dundas and Uni and Simon sushi on lakeshore blvd west best value in the city, tasty and fresh Oh and best burger woodys on lakeshore by far. Wood fire grilled. Kudos to jumbo burger and dairy freeze while Im at it Cheers!
Great video! I highly recommend King Dimsum and Swatow! Both in the Chinatown area. King Dim Sum has a fancier vibe to the whole place but the staff have been there for years. Swatow on the other hand a is a smaller, chinese cuisine restaurant, they're always open late and again the staff have been there for years. Highly recommend either of the two.
Try a restaurant called Adrak. It’s an Indian restaurant near the corner of Avenue and Davenport. It’s relatively new (opened during COVID). And, it’s really good, but on the pricier side
I’ve watched many of your video but I never knew you were from TO and that your dad’s restaurant is there. I’m in Ottawa and will definitely come visit this summer!!
country style SLAPS. I would recommend that you get a side of the dumpling gravy to dip the schnitzel in. so BOMB. BTW.... Badiali is a lot better than north of brooklyn.
Hey Jet- I lived and cooked in Toronto back in the '90's at Chiado on College St. Your dad knows it pretty well, I think. I would love to see you do a video there!
Killer bee is my fave at North of Brooklyn also. Pizza Nova is good, but I think Mama's is the best large chain. I also like Detroit based Little Caesar's ( deep dish pepperoni ONLY). Yay for supporting Korean Village Restaurant. It's funny you've tried fancy Michelin starred food from all over the world, but one of your faves if the humble Korean cuisine. You are so right that Korean food is all about a social and sharing experience.
Try Gyubee Japanese BBQ. I’ve been to many Asian bbq but I think it’s the best one in Toronto. Also congee queen is coming to downtown, amazing Chinese food the turnip cakes is a must
I've absolutely loved this vlog. Jet you need to do more of these reals. Don't get me wrong I love your dad. But I also like your individual stuff. Love you Jet. From Kenny
That pizza actually looks sooo good wish that chain was up here in edmonton. I’d say a very light amount of honey on it would be my order request for sure. I highly recommend Korean food too, the more authentic and less westernized the better tasting that goes for 90% of Asian country originating foods, menus that barely have english on them the better it is.
yep Pizza Nova for chain but the best neapolitan pizza in toronto is Via Mercante on Augusta st ..believe me take it from Italian /Canadian born and raised here and way older than you.
Good call on the eggs benedict, also one of my fav's, can't beat that hollandaise sauce! I think it's me second fav though as my main fav is a nice omelet with cheese and veggies
I truly just hope that one day I can come to Toronto just to visit your dads Resturant, that’d be a dream come true! all the love and best wishes from Jordan 🇯🇴❤say hello to ur baba !! Have a lovely day.
Lil Tokyo in Oakville right off of Trafalgar exit. It’s Korean Japanese. Family run. Been going there 20 years. I swear by the chicken yakisoba and the beef bibimbap.
Really need to try this new place called Shizuku Omakase in Scarborough. The head chef's got fresh ideas and flavor profiles. I think you'll really enjoy it.
I've gotta try that slaw now. Taking my girlfriend there for sure. Some places I've enjoyed in Toronto: Tut's Egyptian by King and Spadina Yasu by Harbord and Spadina (expensive, but sushi is incredible) Kinoya by King and John is a more affordable daily sushi; their non sushi offerings are amazing The Diner's Corner just south of Bloor on Yonge has some amazing authentic Jamaican food Rasta Pasta in Kensington is a must try if you haven't before Momofuku is a Toronto staple, every native knows of this place Siempre by Front and Spadina has some nice breakfast offerings
Tondou Ramen on College & Clinton is great, Isshin like you said, the owners are close so if you like isshin you'll probably like Tondou. Taro's Fish up on Bayview is dumb good. Just a walk in sushi take out & fish market, but so good. Okonomi on Charles St West just off yonge is really nice too. Omusubi just off Dundas & Bathurst, little stall that does the most killer rice balls.
I grew up watching your dad on tv, and I was shocked to discover your two channels. Hilarious and still great food 😊. BUT I was certainly shocked to hear you grew up in Toronto as well! Gotta check some of these restaurants now
Nice video! Been watching a couple of your videos since it popped up in the UA-cam recommendations. I am from Singapore and I was a little surprised when I saw the Singaporean style slaw. Well, at least, it looks more authentic than "Singapore noodles" 😅 (which we rarely find in Singapore, except maybe xing zhou bee hoon 星州米粉). The Singaporean style slaw reminds a little of Yusheng 鱼生, which is a salad served with raw fish (seafood, abalone slices) during Chinese New Year. It is a fun salad that is tossed with everyone pitching in and saying well wishes that each ingredient is supposed to represent (e.g. fish 年年有余, pomelo 大吉大利, plum sauce 甜甜蜜蜜). Running a restaurant (or any small business) is hard work, so I hope that business is back to normal for everyone.
Super cool man I love watching your videos and your Dad is awesome!!!! Would almost be like a dream to meet you and your legendary Dad at his restaurant. I am also from Toronto I live in Etobicoke. I just had north of Brooklyn Pizza like a day ago on rogers road . So cool that your from Toronto too. Iron Chef Dad is my favorite chef !!!!
Hey Jet... grew up on Bellwoods St. and I haven't been downtown in years (maybe more then 15 - 20 years). I have to make an effort and try some of these spots. Thx for video. :)
i really appreciate this video bro. I visit toronto quite often from ottawa and always wanna eat some good food. i know i can trust your recommendations
I tasted truffles for the first time at your dad’s restaurant. Loved that he came to all the tables to say hello.
Yeah i have never felt like home in any restaurant excep on your dads restaurant you are bless to havw a dad like him appressiated him
Where is his dad restaurant? I am in Australia😂

I think that’s his gf and she said it’s her favorite salad of all time. So much that he flew to Montreal to deliver it to her
Yeah I used to be a server and she was excellent. It's a tough job.

When this man critiques food I actually take it seriously because not everybody grew up with a chef dad.
I volunteered about 6 months at Lee in 2010/2011, learned a lot from that time! It was cool to see Jonas and Brian on Iron Chef years later after working with them so long ago

Better pay SUSUR LEE 8 FIGURES for that sponsorship =)
Omg yesss
Also, if you are looking for a sweet spot a little outside of town, whip over to the Red Rooster in Eston, SK. Best fries and gravy.
I live basically next to Country Style and man I'm so glad that place and Korean Village are still kicking. Killer Bee has been my favourite flavor @ NOB for years too. Great video.

If i ever make it to Canada. Absolutely gonna try these.
I’m glad you mentioned the honey on pizza, people must try
another fire honey main dish is the Jalepeno and Honey chicken sandwhich from PG clucks on College St.... hands down best chicken burger in toronto!
@@sharafkhan9333 im no where near toronto, but there is this pizza spot, they call it the Honey Banger . its amazing
Just had a pizza with honey on it yesterday. Goated for sure. 👍
The sweetness balances so nice with acidic tomatoes, I've never tried on pizza it but it sounds so good
Dude idk how to say this but I saw ur dad with a 22 year very feminine gay man at a bar.,, yikes
9:20 hundo percent agree 😄, pizza nova is like the happy in-between of pizza pizza and pizza hut
I love korean cuisine too especially korean bbq with lots of sides and lots of greens to go with the meat. Lovely couple. Lovely vid
Totally agree on the pizza nova. And love the hospitality at korean village bbq, oldest korean restaurant in the city, owner always brought out these amazing frozen grapes dessert ❤
Mac’s Pizza is a must have, their white slice is amazing!

Marked in downtown Toronto truly my fave restaurant and so unique I bring all my friends who visit me there and they’re always truly Impressed
I had a tasting menu at your Dad’s for my birthday 15 years ago, and I still remember how fantastic it was.
King's Landing is probably my favourite restaurant. Great value and the quality is better than most restaurants downtown.
Thanks for the video been watching you a lot - good stuff!
North of Brooklyn was a little pricey and the we’re too cool attitude is a bit much for me. Pizza GiGi Sicilian slices are the best in town (incase anyones wondering portnoy didnt try the sicilian)
Aris on roncesvalles is my favourite breakfast joint
For Japanese my favourites are don don at Dundas and Uni and Simon sushi on lakeshore blvd west best value in the city, tasty and fresh
Oh and best burger woodys on lakeshore by far. Wood fire grilled. Kudos to jumbo burger and dairy freeze while Im at it
Cheers!
Try the organic press in Kensington market for smoothie bowls, and veggie d’light for rotis.
If you like Korean food try Owls it’s in Mississauga it’s not a Korean bbq but it’s amazing. It’s always packed but the food is real deal!
Great video! I highly recommend King Dimsum and Swatow! Both in the Chinatown area. King Dim Sum has a fancier vibe to the whole place but the staff have been there for years. Swatow on the other hand a is a smaller, chinese cuisine restaurant, they're always open late and again the staff have been there for years. Highly recommend either of the two.
Try a restaurant called Adrak. It’s an Indian restaurant near the corner of Avenue and Davenport. It’s relatively new (opened during COVID). And, it’s really good, but on the pricier side
I’ve watched many of your video but I never knew you were from TO and that your dad’s restaurant is there. I’m in Ottawa and will definitely come visit this summer!!

Singapore slaw is easily the best salad in the world. So delicious. I usually get it with a piece of salmon from Kid Lee when I am in Toronto.

Some obvious downtown gems are Swatow and King's Noodle, but if you're willing to go to a bit further out Congee Queen and Wonton Chai is amazing!
Been to all those restaurants, including your dad's. Yes, I did love that salad. 😊
your dad's slaw is insane I love it
Shout out to the hand washing even on the commercial. Can never be stressed enough.
Lil Tokyo in Oakville right off of Trafalgar exit. It’s Korean Japanese. Family run. Been going there 20 years. I swear by the chicken yakisoba and the beef bibimbap.

Jet, you are Gorgeous!! ❤️❤️ And those dimples 🤤❤️❤️
Try Yueh Tung (behind city hall), their Chilli Chicken is legend. And I especially like the chilli fish - dry, and Butter Chicken Factory....
Khemr Thai on St. Clair West is an amazing hidden gem. It's "Cambodian Thai". Number 19 Golden Beef is HEAVEN.
I've gotta try that slaw now. Taking my girlfriend there for sure.
Some places I've enjoyed in Toronto:
Tut's Egyptian by King and Spadina
Yasu by Harbord and Spadina (expensive, but sushi is incredible)
Kinoya by King and John is a more affordable daily sushi; their non sushi offerings are amazing
The Diner's Corner just south of Bloor on Yonge has some amazing authentic Jamaican food
Rasta Pasta in Kensington is a must try if you haven't before
Momofuku is a Toronto staple, every native knows of this place
Siempre by Front and Spadina has some nice breakfast offerings
Tondou Ramen on College & Clinton is great, Isshin like you said, the owners are close so if you like isshin you'll probably like Tondou. Taro's Fish up on Bayview is dumb good.

Hakka Legend in Scarborough near STC if you like spicy food. Its a fusion Chinese Indian! I'd recommend the Bombay Chicken and Chicken 88!
Best Shawarma is in Mississauga, called Al Zaeem. Get the chicken Saj and make sure to get the special sauce

The Singaporean style slaw reminds a little of Yusheng 鱼生, which is a salad served with raw fish (seafood, abalone slices) during Chinese New Year. It is a fun salad that is tossed with everyone pitching in and saying well wishes that each ingredient is supposed to represent (e.g. fish 年年有余, pomelo 大吉大利, plum sauce 甜甜蜜蜜).
Running a restaurant (or any small business) is hard work, so I hope that business is back to normal for everyone.
Super cool man I love watching your videos and your Dad is awesome!!!! Would almost be like a dream to meet you and your legendary Dad at his restaurant. I am also from Toronto I live in Etobicoke.
