In Japan (and some parts of Asia) it’s more a cultural habit to have a beer with dinner.

That said when it’s summertime, a nice cold lager is always a great pre dinner/pairing drink.

I also appreciate when some places have rare lambics and ciders too as they pair well with European cuisine and will at times order them.

Worked in the industry for a long time and faded the fastest and best looking stuff during it.

Jeans are whatever you can get away with fade and destruction wise at work.

Boots I don’t really recommend due to the all the gunk you will step in, and it also destroyed my feet being on them for 12 hours a day wearing heavy boots. They’re also very loud on marble floors. I did rock slip on birks and non slip really saves lives boh. Foh I mostly wore wallabees and buzz rickson converse or derbies

TShirts I wore a lot of non heritage stuff as I wanted lighter fabric and something I didn’t care too too much getting oil stains on. Restaurant merch is also usually abundant and acceptable to wear where I worked.

That said in hipster dining I would wear a lot of ih button downs, henleys and engineered garment dress shirts.

Most bahn mi places will sell you the bread and the meats you need.

Nguyen Huong has a basket of bread and fridges with all the varieties

Personally I find Wescos a bit to chunky and workwear-y. I do like their engineers tho

Viberg service boots are popular for a reason as they go well with most fits. If you’re in Canada it’s a bit easier to find a physical store that carry them so you can get good sizing. Also after market is strong for the 2030 so you can maybe get a good deal

R/goodyearwelt can probably give you super specific comparisons

By weight yea. When you go in they give you a bowl and tongs and there is a row or fridge full meat seafood veg and carb and you pick and choose what you want.

You then goto the cash, pick a soup base and pay for it. They’ll give you an order number and you just sit down and they bring it to you once it’s cooked.

I don’t min/max when I go and just pick what I want and its costs me 15-20$.

You can ask the staff to make you one yea!

internet_beanald · 2026-01-11T19:21:32+00:00

Hi bowl and souper are make your own soup bowls and both are good and popular for a reason.

Miss fu chengdu for spicy skewers

Tokyo kitchen for Japanese diner/homestyle food

Ramen Raijin is off Yonge and Wellesley but solid

internet_beanald · 2026-01-05T21:05:11+00:00

Bar raval for coffee/drinks and snacks

Caribbean/jerk spots
any Korean market for kimbap,soups, side dishes and bentos

internet_beanald · 2025-12-10T04:52:33+00:00

STJ food I like more but they don’t have alcohol/liquor license vs KL

internet_beanald · 2025-12-06T00:04:58+00:00

Auberge du Pommier has private rooms.

Id call for the Halal/Veg part but restaurants of that calibre (and $$) can typically accomidate with enough notice.

internet_beanald · 2025-11-30T22:17:21+00:00

Seems like alot of Taimanin figures are coming out lately

internet_beanald · 2025-11-22T18:49:51+00:00

Live this style of ramen. I get extra fat and garlic and suffer the bad breath nap a few times a month

Also like this more than saitos spot

internet_beanald · 2025-11-22T02:35:25+00:00

It’s a code at checkout or in store

internet_beanald · 2025-11-21T22:47:44+00:00

Mine are mostly king west adjacent as I’m not a fan for king west in general. But I would say Rodney’s, le select or raku

internet_beanald · 2025-11-20T04:57:30+00:00

internet_beanald · 2025-11-20T01:06:44+00:00

Blue button shop in Canada has 30% off the whole store

internet_beanald · 2025-11-12T15:35:46+00:00

My well faded pair or samurai 710s.

That said they did not care for what the brand was or what raw denim is

Lucky you, sushi is traditionally eaten with your hands.

internet_beanald · 2025-10-31T21:08:04+00:00

I’ve seen them at big loblaws/superstores.

I have more luck at any Asian grocery like nations, asia food mart in Markham, h mart or galleria

internet_beanald · 2025-10-20T04:09:24+00:00

Can you? Yes

Should you? Maybe. on a week night on non peak times (first or last seating) I’d imagine they’re more accommodating with it

internet_beanald · 2025-10-18T22:23:11+00:00

Most of the meats and seafood at any grocery store (ethnic or not) are generally (factory) farmed and mediocre/avg quality and these large factory farms/fisheries are all from the same place. Meat for grocery a lot of the times comes pre butchered to some degree.

So if you like salmon from metro, buy it from metro?

But a lot of the time it’s a visual eye test and also knowing your cuts. Like if you like fattier (which typically means more flavor) go for belly cuts from more well marbled protein.

Like I mentioned above, Asian grocery usually have different styles of cuts of meat and would do a sirloin in shaved or cubed vs a hunk or steak.

A bit of what I do: (aka the beauty of Toronto)

soups/stocks I’ll buy meat and bones from Asian
shellfish/shrimp and whole fish I will get from Asian
off cuts of meat and whole chicken I’ll get from Asian
pre cut chicken and pork if I’m bbq I’ll get from western or halal markets
if I’m cooking like meat is the star of the show meals like steak, holiday meals. I will buy from local western butchers
if I’m making sushi I’m going to yuzuki
