We were charged gst/hst on our bill when all we ordered was food, wines which are a part of the hst/gst break and were told by the server that alcohol is not a included in break, after telling her that's not the case and she can look in up she gave us attitude and came with another bill over charging us for the 2nd bottle of sparkling wine which was on special for new years eve and then we were told again that the charge included tax. The 3rd time after getting the bill right they were rude no apologies just ruined our night over unprofessional behavior and no remorse. Horrible customer service

We are from Europe, booked a table for two on NYE 2024 as we had had dinner at Baro the week before and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was buzzing, happy, festive and energetic. The music was just a bit too loud but the latin tunes do add to the overall experience. The food was delicious and very nicely presented, the staff are all helpful and super friendly. The first time we ate here I found the food a little too spicy, this time it was not - so if you have a sensitive stomach maybe ask a waiter for advice. All in all a really great and warm experience during a few days in cold weather Toronto.

The food is amazing ! The OG Duck Chaufa is a nice fusion between latin and chinese. The service was amazing. The only con to our visit was that the food came all at once which was a little overwhelming.

The service from start to finish was perfect. Very attentive and friendly. A nice chill and relaxing space with just the right amount of cultural vibe. Most importantly the food was amazing. We took our three teenage boys and they all found a dish they loved.
