Just Opened: Sansotei Ramen
Downtown’s got a brand new ramen joint. Continuing the city’s trend of Japanese cuisine, Sansotei Ramen recently opened up at 179 Dundas Street West. It’s industrial design – light woods, greyed walls, sea rope hanging from the ceiling – is a beautiful contrast to the vibrancy of the ramen dishes being served, like slow-cooked pork belly with hard boiled egg, or miso or shio varieties.
Just Opened: I Went to Philly
It’s nice to see family businesses can still make a mark. Such is the case with I Went to Philly, a new Philly cheese steak joint that recently opened up at 462 Yonge Street. After going, not surprisingly, to Philly last year, the family decided to bring back the traditional delicious sammies to downtown. Try the Original for a classic taste, or go all out with The Works. And order some Cheese Steak Fries on the side.
