Best Contemporary Asian Restaurants in The Annex

The Nutcracker Tea is a lovely event for Christmas time. This is just a personal preference, but I prefer more savory and less sweets. It was a 50/50 ratio. Otherwise a lovely afternoon!

My friend and I liked it. We were there on Christmas Eve for lunch. Not too crowded, when leaving we were the only people in our section. Food was good, not outstanding, but good. Spectacular view, great ambiance. Service was very slow, maybe because of Christmas, but polite and pleasant. Would definitely come back.

This is our 3rd time at R&D as we absolutely love the experience and the food. We always sit at the Chef’s Rail and enjoy watching the chefs at work. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. We will always come back.

They knock our socks off every time. Each corner of the menu is worth exploring! The classics, the specials, the wine list and the desserts!!! (This time we had a glutinous rice cake with a brûlée’d top and it was life changing). One of the best and most consistent spots in the city ❤️

I had lived in Toronto for many years before moving away from the city. Had to come in a few days for work and decided to visit DaiLo with a friend. Why did I rob myself of this experience for so long? The food was 5-star! We ordered the wontons, pork hock, tacos, and the smoked duck. Every dish hit its mark perfectly with well-balanced flavors. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice and it isn't a place that packs restaurant goers elbow to elbow. Lastly, the service provided by the staff rivals the quality of the food.
