Interesting fusion spot! Ample seating inside, with great ambiance and friendly service. Easy to get to as a commuter being close to Osgoode station right along Queen W st.
We tried some popular dishes and ultimately, as a HUGE spice girlie, My friend and I found the food surprisingly mid and would recommend it for folks who would be satisfied by a simpler spin on E Asian food .. where the flavour profiles are sharply reduced/ more bland. E.g. group / work meals where you want to have a menu with something for everyone (non ambitious foodies) while being a tad not basic. Drinks and dessert (not too sweet) were great - loved the lychee cocktail :)
The vibes were nice overall and I'd come back for snacks/desserts and cocktails.

Wasn’t expecting a bar-like atmosphere but it was a fun juxtaposition. I ordered the Ping Gai chicken and the portion was so large it took two people to finish…. The chicken was bigger than my face. Very generous and delicious!!
This is a hidden gem walking distance from Oosgode Subway.

Good food and great customer service. I recently visited Queen Mother Cafe and my experience was pleasant. The ambiance is great, we sat on the patio and the actual restaurant is very large and spacious. We ordered the pad Thai and the seafood hotpot curry which were both flavourful. Great spot for lunch or dinner!
I absolutely LOVED the patio seating, it’s like a special secret dining area. The food came out delicious and the chicken was juicy and tender.
A bit pricey but definitely great for a date night where you want to impress your date with Asian fusion.

Historic, intimate & hip! Many years have gone by, and this restaurant is still crushing it! Love the mood! The service is top notch, and the food is delicious. The Pad Thai is one of their staples, and so are the sweets! The patio in the back is quite cozy, so don't miss it.
Queen Mother is a true Toronto gem that I'm so glad to have rediscovered recently. The patio is the perfect escape from the downtown hustle and bustle, with umbrellas and foliage creating a quiet oasis for an intimate meal experience. The food is as delicious as ever, and everything we ordered was a solid 10.
The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. It's a must-visit for anyone looking for a great meal in a relaxed setting.
