Yamato Japanese Restaurant
We dined at Yamato on Wednesday, June 5th, 2024.
Yamato Japanese Restaurant in Yorkville, Toronto, has been a staple of the area since 1983, making it one of the oldest teppanyaki-style restaurants in Canada. The restaurant’s commitment to authenticity and the engaging dining experience it offers are key factors that make it special and a long-lasting stalwart of Toronto’s dining scene.
We bypassed the authentic sushi dining experience and sat at a teppanyaki table. For those who don’t know, teppanyaki is a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food in front of the customers.
From the menu, we chose the “Tori,” which was tender boneless chicken dark meat glazed with teriyaki sauce, and the “Daimyo,” which included prime ribeye steak, scallops, and Caribbean lobster meat. Our young chef prepared the food in front of us using entertaining elements such as slicing, dicing, and setting the food on fire. Our chef also incorporated comedic elements that made us laugh. We sipped on our warm sake and ate our salad and very tasty soup while we watched and waited for our food choices to finish cooking.
The freshly prepared food was excellent, perfectly blending the savory, sweet, and umami flavors that make this type of Japanese cuisine so unique.
This was my second time at Yamato in twenty years, and they were as good as I remembered. The teppanyaki experience at Yamato is great for special occasions and groups of friends or family, or if you and your significant other feel like splurging.

Hong Shing Restaurant
Reviewed on Feb 13, 2024
Hong Shing has been my go-to spot for the best Chinese food in Toronto for over 25 years, and it’s all about their Chinese styled lobsters. Their “Spicy Dry Lobster” isn’t just good; it’s the kind of dish you dream about. It’s packed with flavor without being too hot to handle.
Thanks to Ubereats, enjoying Hong Shing’s delights has become even easier. No more battling for parking on Dundas West just to get my fix.
And it’s not just the lobster. Their Cantonese Fried Noodle and even the mixed veggies are top-notch. Trust me, even your kids will be asking for seconds on the greens. The chefs at Hong Shing? They’ve got some serious skills.
If you’re thinking of dining in, Hong Shing is a casual spot, perfect for when you’re craving authentic Chinese food without the fuss.

Blondies Pizza
Ordered from Blondie’s several times using the Ubereats app in the last couple of years and can’t believe I’ve never left a review on Google reviews. The pizza smells, looks, and tastes so good we just dig in, so I’m surprised I found a photo.
Blondie’s pizza is everything you would expect in a gourmet pizza, and they’ve always remained consistent.
Highly recommended.

Gallery Hi Art
March 31, 2009
Walked in to peruse some lovely looking acrylic and oil on canvas paintings. I was actually in the mood to buy something in the $200 -300 price range, and when I enquired about the prices, a heavily made up middle aged woman still touching up her make up, stated the prices were on top of the art. To the contrary , most of the prices were missing from the paintings I liked and I pointed it out to her now turned back. She said, "well you are not going to like all of them and need to know all of the prices!" I was incredulous. Here was the art of over 30 different artists that could use the money, and this woman told me what I should be thinking. I walked out. I am going to talk to the owner and let them know why the art is not selling at Hi Art Gallery. I hope the recession puts them out of business.
