Best Asian Food Restaurants in Ontario

"You wouldn't expect to find a French-Cantonese restaurant on College Street in Little Italy, but that's part of DaiLo's fun. The menu features crowdpleasers like truffled pumpkin dumplings and jellyfish slaw, but the real treats here include the whole fried trout, a dramatic and flavorful dish that's served pre-chopped with several dipping sauces, the braised lamb neck with banana blossom salad, and the General Tso sweetbreads. A $65 chef's choice menu, which consists of six or seven dishes, showcases the menu's full range."
