Hanoi 3 Seasons - Toronto, Ontario

I let my Vietnamese friend do all the ordering. We started with the Nom Ngo Sen (fresh shrimps and lotus root salad) $9.75. It was so fresh and tasty. Then came the Cha Gio Cha Muc (spring roll and calamari patties) $10.75. The rolls were massive and the patties savory. ... We just ate enough to taste so we wouldn’t be full for our main course. We shared the Cha Ca (Hanoi style grouper with dill and shrimp paste served with vermicelli and salad) $19. The fish was tender with the dill and salad adding freshness and more layers of flavor. The one criticism we had was the dipping sauce for the spring rolls, calamari patties and grouper. No matter how much we added or dipped we could not taste it. It was almost like water. We ended up dipping in the leftover dressing from our salad. At the end our server explained the dipping sauce was only vinegar and water with no fish sauce for the non Vietnamese customers. She told us we could have requested it. I wish she had told us before we ate all our food! Despite that we really enjoyed the food. We came here on a weekday for an early dinner. We were the only ones dining inside and sat by the window catching glimpses of life passing by on Queen Street. We rode our bikes but there is street parking available. Read more

I never thought I could find a pure Vietnamese restaurant with a Northern style like this in Canada. Strongly impressed by the way they decorate and furnish. I've been to Hanoi once and never thought I would see that image in this place. The food is 10/10, I can feel ... how they cherish and take care of each ingredient, even the dishes, bowls they imported from Vietnam (according to what they say). The shop owner was extremely enthusiastic and cheerful, I was treated kindly like a family member. I was even more impressed when I went down to the washroom, because the LGBT-friendly decorated made me feel very warm. If you are truly a lover of food and cozy luxury restaurants, you definitely have to try it once. Read more

Favorite Viet resto in the city, I love the room. Food's terrific as well. Today's #18 chicken pho wasn't as spectacular as on my last visit.. the broth was clearer then and packed more infused flavour.

Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at a hidden gem called "Savor Haven." From the moment I walked in, the ambiance captivated me with its cozy yet sophisticated decor. The attentive staff provided exceptional service, offering insightful recommendations from the diverse menu. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing a ... perfect balance of flavors and innovative presentation. The chef's attention to detail was evident in every bite. Whether savoring a succulent steak or indulging in a decadent dessert, the overall dining experience at Savor Haven exceeded my expectations. The blend of excellent food, warm atmosphere, and top-notch service makes it a must-visit for any food enthusiast Read more

Westernized Vietnamese food catering to the demographic of the area. I don't recommend eating here unless your palette is atune to only bland food. Will not be coming back. Overall, the food was lack luster and unauthentic which took us by surprise since the decor of the space leans very proud ... of the Vietnamese culture (minus some odd paintings). We ordered - The Jackfruit Smoothie. The colour of the smoothie was completely white indicating the jackfruit used is frozen and young. That attributes to the bland taste. I don't recommend this drink. - The Vietnamese Iced Coffee. A generous portion of coffee and condensed milk! Too much for one sitting. I'd recommend getting it to go. - Number 23 Ga Nuong Xa Sua Dua (Chicken with Lemongrass and Coconut Milk) with Vermincelli. Large portion of chicken, veggies and noodles. Chicken thighs used were quite fatty. The dish came with a side of fish sauce, which tasted like water. I don't recommend this dish. - A side of pho broth. Again, a VERY generous portion. I'm unsure what the vision is for their pho broth. It tasted over boiled, no beef flavour, and flat. I noticed pieces of floating ginger, shrimp shell and dill. I don't recommend this. - Number 8 Bun Canh Tom Hanoi (Spicy Shrimp with Lemongrass and Tamarind). It tastes like they used the same broth as the side of pho broth ordered except with MUCH MORE dill. The mussels were not cleaned properly aka SANDY! The shrimp was overcooked. I don't recommend this dish. When paying, I noticed the cook microwaving spring rolls and then putting them on a plate. I doubt they were freshly made. Service: We sat ourselves and it took the one server 5 minutes to notice we sat down and bring menus. There was 1 other table and someone waiting for a pick up order - not busy. The server was nice while taking our order. We did notice she told another table that the food is Westernized and to brace themselves. I'm sure that table was expecting more authentic flavours like us. Atmosphere: The space was decorated nicely. The bathroom was clean and not wet like other basement bathrooms. Price $60 for 2 people including tax and tip. Not worth it. Read more
