come with me while I explore the food scene in downtown toronto 🍜✨
📍Raku
456 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V 2A8
finally made it to Raku, a place that’s been living rent free in my mind because udon >>> everything!!😩🫶
Ordered the pork gyoza ($12) which was crispy on the bottom, juicy and savoury on the inside 🥟. The ebiten ($18) came with that comforting, umami rich broth and perfectly chewy noodles, topped with shrimp tempura🍤. It was light, crispy, and so satisfying. The sansai bukkake ($19) is a chilled udon with mountain vegetables, super refreshing, earthy, and packed with texture. Every bowl? Absolutely slurp worthy 😋🥢

📍ChaTraMue
341 Spadina Ave., Toronto, ON M5T 2G3
then I had to stop by Cha Tra Mue because I last had it in thailand 🧡. Got the thai tea with konjac jelly ($6.50 + $0.85). Their drinks are creamy, fragrant, and perfectly sweet with that chewy jelly adding the best little bite. It felt like i was instantly transported back to Thailand 🇹🇭
.
📍Juicy Dumpling
280 Spadina Ave., Toronto, ON M5T 0A1
last stop: Juicy Dumplings. ordered the steamed mini soup pork dumplings ($2.99/6), pan-fried mini soup pork dumplings ($3.99/6), and spicy shrimp wontons. Unfortunately everything came out lukewarm, which was a bit of a letdown because they would’ve been so much better piping hot 🥟
Today was one of those days filled with good food, little cravings, and exploring the city one bite at a time 🤍

🍕😋 Our desi-friendly Toronto finds
Use this food guide next time you’re visiting the 6ix - we were downtown Toronto locals for a couple of years and ate our way through the city to find the best cheap eats and hidden gems 💎
Back then, this food blog wasn’t as active so it was incredible to go back and experience Toronto like a local again, this time on a 3 week trip.
The best part about the city is its diverse culinary scene - we ate Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Mediterranean, Arab, Indian, Italian and French food during this trip.
Toronto is a foodie’s paradise 😍
Having moved back to Hyderabad now, we do miss the multicultural food experience there, but the spiciness of our daily meals now make up for the lack of diversity in cuisines 😅

Hidden in the heart of Chinatown (280 Spadina Ave), Juicy Dumpling serves up some of the best soup dumplings in the city—and get this, they’re only $4.99 a basket! 🤯
These dumplings are next-level juicy—perfectly steamed with delicate, thin wrappers and bursting with rich, savory broth in every bite. We went for the classic xiao long bao, and honestly, they were 🔥.
Soft, flavorful, and insanely satisfying.
The spot is casual and fast-paced, perfect for a quick bite or a dumpling fix on the go. Don’t expect fancy vibes—this place is all about the flavor and affordability.
🕐 Quick service
💸 Budget-friendly
📍Also available at their Midtown location (2150 Yonge St)
📸 Tip: Let the dumpling cool for a sec, then bite the top, sip the broth, and go in!
Tag your dumpling crew and let them know we’re coming back for round two. 🥢❤️

【$4.99起!周六日24小時營業|唐人街小籠包人龍店 有乜特別?】
多倫多Local大推的平民小食店,要數的必定是位於唐人街的Juicy Dumpling。這間以其招牌小籠包聞名的小店,在唐人街打滾多年,一口價$4.99食到即包即蒸的多汁小籠包,吸引不少local排隊幫襯。除了經典豬肉小籠包,店內還有多款點心選擇,包括蟹粉小籠包、生煎包、煎餃子、蒸包及紅油抄手等,保證合你口味。
(誠實食評)個人認為生煎包比小籠包更出色,底部煎至金黃色,食落不油膩,一口咬下去即湧出湯汁。建議先咬開一小口,再先喝湯汁,再品嘗整個生煎包,食落啖啖鮮肉香。店舖設有堂食座位及企位,如果想食到新鮮即蒸小籠包,可能就要花時間等位了。

When it comes to local budget-friendly eats in Toronto, Juicy Dumpling in Chinatown is a must-visit. This humble little shop has been a neighborhood favorite for years, famous for its signature juicy pork soup dumplings. For just $4.99, you can get six freshly handmade, steamed-to-order xiao long bao — no wonder there’s always a line of loyal locals waiting to grab a bite.
Beyond the classic pork soup dumplings, the menu offers a wide range of delicious bites including crab roe soup dumplings, pan-fried buns, potstickers, steamed buns, and wontons in chili oil, all made fresh in-house to suit every craving. (Honest opinion alert!) Personally, I think the pan-fried buns are even better than the xiao long bao — perfectly golden and crispy on the bottom, not greasy at all, and bursting with flavorful broth. Pro tip: take a small bite first to sip the soup inside before devouring the rest for the ultimate juicy bite!
The shop has a few dine-in seats and standing space, but if you want those dumplings steamed fresh and piping hot, be ready to wait a little — it's worth it!

I never gave this spot a try until today, and I was quite impressed! These pan-fried, juicy dumplings were the perfect warm treat on such a cold day. Do you prefer dumplings steamed or pan-fried? Personally, I love pan-fried, with every bite dipped in some soy sauce! Look at that soupy drip—drool-worthy! 💚
