replying to u/crazeman: >Kong Sihk Tong (we don't have a lot of HK breakfast in Toronto and it's nostalgic for me) I'm pretty sure you guys have Mabu Cafe in Toronto lol. Ironically, [they opened a location a few blocks away](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tnZUusp9L2gscgmz8) from Kong Sihk Tong a year or two ago. I remember googling them when they first put up their sign and was like oh, they're a restaurant from Toronto lol. Here's a bunch of Asian-focused places: --- Since you mentioned breakfast, maybe [Ho Foods](https://maps.app.goo.gl/bSwBiFCuimJMtqVq6) is worth checking out. Normally they sell upscaled beef noodle soup but during the weekend (mornings?), they have a special Taiwanese Breakfast menu that might be up your alley. **Tea/Coffee** If you're going to Chelsea Market, there's a [Genesis House](https://maps.app.goo.gl/DKym8Pjp22xtP3YS6) that sits above the Korean Genesis car dealership nearby. A pot of tea is \~$20, so not crazy expensive, but the fine dining food is pretty expensive lol. I've only had the tea and never had the food there. Drinking tea at the Tea Pavillion/Library is pretty nice. Kettl might be up your alley if you're looking for more matcha spots. It's on my list but I haven't personally been there myself yet. For coffee, I would recommend checking out % Arabica. They are a independent chain from Kyoto Japan and they have a SOHO location and a location in DUMBO. [Cha-an](https://maps.app.goo.gl/x19dDdodYxFSNAsaA) is also a tea house that has very good desserts. --…

replying to u/crazeman: You can try [Thursday Kitchen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1PXZhjWyiCVMSPpy5), they make like a Korean-fusion tapas. I don't remember anything much about the other dishes there but I was kind of disappointed by their Korean Popcorn Chicken dish. I was expecting it to be more like Taiwanese popcorn chicken but it ended up being more like a small plate of expensive general tso/Sweet and sour chicken for $15 lol. I feel like [Phoenix Palace](https://maps.app.goo.gl/55jnE18hkGzsb5kTA) might also fit the bill but I haven't been there yet. Maybe it's more on the borderline of family style dishes instead of tapas though.
