Chinese crispy burger from Bingz restaurant at First Markham Place in Markham, Ontario

Bingz

Have you ever had Chinese fast food before?

Bingz is a fast casual restaurant chain based out of Beijing, and they serve up amazing Chinese crispy burgers.

The crispy burgers are what you should be coming for, but they also have some noodle and wonton dishes, as well as some traditional Chinese drinks (try their Plum Cold Brew)!

They have over 140 locations across China, and you can find them inside Yorkdale Mall.

It’s actually a takeout shop and not a sit-down restaurant, but you can enjoy your Chinese fast food in the food court seating area.

Bingz opened up their first-ever Canadian restaurant at First Markham Place several years ago, and now they have several locations around the GTA, including at Fairview Mall!

BBQ Chicken from Roywoods Toronto

Roywoods

Roywoods has some of the best jerk chicken in Toronto, though I’m definitely a big fan of their BBQ Chicken.

I usually get their plates instead of their sandwiches, ’cause they’re a lot less messy to eat.

All of their chicken is halal as well, which is great for my friends who eat halal!

You can find Roywoods in the Yorkdale food court.

You can also find them at Union Station and CityPlace in Toronto, as well as at Square One in Mississauga!

LOCATION: 3401 Dufferin St, North York, ON


Loaded Pierogi in Toronto

Loaded Pierogi

If you haven’t had pierogis before, they’re amazing European dumplings that are typically stuffed with potatoes and boiled.

Loaded Pierogi’s pierogis are literally heaven on earth, and you can choose from different toppings like BBQ Brisket and Butter Chicken.

You can also choose between boiled or fried pierogis, and I love doing half and half.

They’ve actually got locations all across the GTA (including at Union Station and on Queen West), and you can find their shop in the Yorkdale food court!

All of their pizzas are made-to-order, and they’ve got gluten-free dough available as well!

You can completely customize your pizza from the sauces, to the cheeses (with a vegan option), to the toppings.

They’ve got unique toppings like corn, pear, and anchovies, as well as controversial ones like *gasp* pineapple.

You can also order ahead for pickup on their website to avoid waiting in line!

They’ve got tons of locations all across the GTA (including in Yorkville and Liberty Village), as well as some locations across Canada.

Konjiki started out as a small 8-seat ramen shop in Tokyo, and Toronto was actually their very first international destination!

They make their noodles fresh using a Japanese-imported machine, and their soup base is made with a blend of clam, chicken, and pork.

I love that they add a Canadian twist to their dishes using locally-sourced ingredients like truffle and porcini mushrooms.

From their Smokey Black Tonkotsu Ramen to their Spicy Miso Ramen, they’ve got a variety of ramen options to choose from.

You can even order a Mini Pork Belly Don or Mini Chashu Don as a side!

It’s still very busy, but definitely not as bad as when they first opened!

They’ve got a gargantuan menu featuring over 250 internationally-inspired dishes, with options like their Korean Fried Cauliflower, Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, and Avocado Eggrolls.

Their food is actually quite good, especially for a chain restaurant.

You’ll also find over 40 amazing cheesecakes and desserts to choose from, including their Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake, Dulce de Leche Caramel Cheesecake, and Mango Key Lime Cheesecake.

Restoration Hardware at Yorkdale Mall, Toronto

Restoration Hardware may be a furniture store, but their in-house restaurant is absolutely incredible.

You’ll also find an extensive wine list if you’re in the mood for a drink.

TORA is a sister restaurant to the wildly popular sushi restaurants Miku and Minami, which are both originally based out of Vancouver.

They’re all about their aburi oshi sushi (AKA torched and pressed sushi), and they have a huge selection to choose from.
