Best Asian Food Restaurants in Whitby

"For a truly amazing takeout experience (and some of the best Chinese food in the city) be sure to try out Dailo’s near Kensington Market. DaiLo is Cantonese slang for “big brother,” a term of endearment to show respect and love to an elder. The New Asian menu here not only pays tribute to the ways and tastes of older Chinese cultures and generations, but it also brings in a French perspective while recognizing the importance of sustainable ingredients."

"DaiLo in my opinion is one of the absolute best restaurants in Toronto, and it’s also very Instagrammable. Anything I’ve ever tasted here has been so delicious!. The cuisine is Chinese with French influences, and Chef Nick Liu does an incredible job with the menu."

"Find it: 180 Queen St. W., plantarestaurants.com, @plantaqueen. The atmosphere: Chef David Lee wowed Toronto foodies with Nota Bene, his Queen Street resto where well-heeled locals would head for the tasting menu. In a bit of a surprise move, the chef opened Yorkville’s Planta in 2016, a plant-based resto for the same style of patron."

"With several Planta restaurants in Toronto (and Miami!), each with a different theme and menu, Planta Queen has an Asian focused menu. All Planta restaurants are 100% vegan. They’ve got wok noodles, sushi, dumplings, small plates, and raw specialties."

"We absolutely love everything that is going on over at Planta. There is not a single boring spot to be found on the interior of this delectable plant-based resto. Even the chairs are dope!"

"As one of Toronto’s first Asian-style vegan restaurants, Buddha Vegan has been a top spot in the city for awhile. They’re known for their delicious and healthy plant-based eats, covering menu items from soups to fried rice and noodles to everything in between. A meal from here is sure to satisfy your every craving!"

"Come down to Buddha’s Vegetarian Restaurant to savour some Hong Kong style vegan and vegetarian food. This place has been serving up regional specialities like imitation duck since 1991, and they’re every bit as satisfying and delicious as the meat-filled counterparts. 666 Dundas St W | website"

"Buddha’s Vegan Restaurant has been around forever – since 1991!. They used to be Buddha’s Vegetarian, but they’ve always been a predominantly vegan establishment, so the name change reflects this better. It’s one of Toronto’s oldest vegan Asian restaurants and it’s beloved by many."

"Basil Box is a vegan-friendly chain restaurant around Toronto and the GTA. Their food is inspired by the street markets of Southeast Asia, and it’s a fast food establishment. Create your own box with tofu, rice or noodles, and veggies."

"Taiwanese eateries are known to be cute, and this one is no exception. But do you know what’s really adorable?. The fact that everyone gets an apple with their rice or noodle dish."

"FormoCha is a café that serves bubble tea and other beverages, along with Taiwanese snacks. There’s a classic boba menu that offers both milk-tea and smoothie bases. FormoCha is another Toronto favourite that serves authentic (not-to-mention aesthetically pleasing) boba!"

"We pass through Leslieville every single day heading to and from work. One day, in particular, we were walking through and made the stop."

"Stratus, south of Niagara-on-the-Lake, is brilliant – the first building in Canada to earn LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification. The design addresses complex recycling, organic, energy-efficient and indigenous concerns. Your wine choice is less complex: Stratus White or Stratus Red."
