Impact Kitchen

First off, as someone who is paleo, I’m thrilled to see this restaurant open up and I can only hope that more places will follow suit!
First experience was ordering the steak and broccoli. I wasn’t impressed by the over cooked steak, which they said would be cooked med rare. But the cheesecake with blueberry sauce was delicious.
The second time, we had the beet salad with chicken, which was really delicious, and the root veg mash with steak. This was also good and steak cooked well.
This isn’t a five star foodie restaurant. This is a restaurant for people who want to eat food that tastes good and fuels their body. You definitely walk out feeling good. It’s the kind of food I eat at home and know will not derail my hours in the gym. Support this place so more places like this open up!!! =)

I realize that healthy food comes at a premium, but these prices are outrageous. $ 12 for an 8oz bowl of chili is too expensive, I don’t care how healthy.
Most of the staff is friendly there, but they are definitely over staffed, perhaps why they have to charge so much.
I appreciate having a restaurant with healthy options. Now we just need a couple more, to keep each other honest on pricing.

Was excited to find out this place existed in a lesser-​traveled area of my neighbourhood. Always down to check out healthy food options for my too-​lazy-​to-​cook self.
Have tried a couple of their power bowls and their Warrior is the winner — with added shredded chicken this is incredibly tasty (and filling). The other day I grabbed takeout and found a free muffin in my bag as well, so bonus points for winning me over with baked goods.
Prices are pretty much the same as most «good stuff in bowls» places in the city (12 – 15 bucks pending on your added protein). Food tastes really fresh and satisfying, so I’ll definitely have them up high on my list for takeout options!

Pros:
Beautiful space
Delicious healthy and clean food
Clean desserts
Relaxing and welcoming atmosphere
Cons:
High prices for non organic food
Biggest issue as a very repeat customer (spending $ 50/​w on average) is that when there is a bit of a wait the manager that’s there a young blonde haired woman does not jump in to help the staff. She stands around talking and plays with the music and adjust lights. Doesn’t acknowledge your presence and or assist with the order.
If this was a one time thing — fine. I’ve noticed it on numerous occasions and saw the owner tell her to assist a customer that was patient waiting (me) who is a repeat customer.
Any customer deserves fast and attentive service, especially the ones that spend hundreds a month.

Super friendly staff, coffee is pretty good, healthy ingredients only. Overall a cool place to chill and eat.

I find this place extremely overpriced for the portions they provide. I understand that healthy food is typically more expensive but not to these extremes. I can go to Fresh and pay less for twice as much food. I think this place is geared towards people who have money to burn and who are intrigued by «paleo» and «GF» diet trends.
The food is decent, I especially enjoy the raw falafel balls, but I will not be going back unless they change the price and portion size. Its too bad, because I was really excited for some healthy food options in my work neighborhood!

I want to give them a better review as the food is healthy, delicious and super fast — something you don’t see all that often. Unfortunately, they lose points for a couple of reasons:
1. Price — I work in Yorkville and expect to pay Yorkville prices when ordering fast service food. But not in the East. Their prices are atrocious.
2. Consistency — portions fluctuate considerably. If I’m paying close to $ 20 for a take out meal for one, I expect the portion sizes to be fair and consistent.
3. Menu — tried to order a smoothie as the menu online states that they have them. When I asked for one, they informed me they do not have the equipment or produce yet. Maybe they should figure that out before advertising it on their website.
Overall, I was really excited for this establishment to show up in my neighbourhood. Given the above though, my excitement and anticipated patronage has and will continue to dwindle unless they can sort out their issues.

Ive been here for enough times I can update what I know.
I pretty much maintain what I said. Portion size fluctuates, sometimes it is more, sometimes there is less, value wise pretty bad.
The reason I come back is the convinience, also I dont mind paying for healthier food knowing it is way over priced.
They seriously need to change the staff, though. And what I mean is fire a few incompetent ones. The manager or owner guy is pretty nice and helpful, but they have way too many ppl behind the counter doing whatever. One of the cashier I ordered with did not know the price of the soups, did not know the size, and insisted my Mastercard would not be able to tap although I know it worked every single time. Why is ordering a bowl of broccoli so complicated?

The people that work there have that «I’m hipper than thou and have the tattoos to prove it» attitude.

sorry I was also looking forward to this place opening up but find it is just a glorified coffee shop where young people can meet or use their laptops
when is Corktown going to get any decent takeout places at decent prices???

I’ve been twice. My impression: Way overpriced. Small portions.
The warrior bowl left me hungry. Favors were good though. But so expensive for very little.
The meatballs. Again, three smallish meatballs and the sauce is too sweet. And the sides were bland.
I’m also not a huge fan of the cafeteria-​style interior.
Won’t be back. Too bad because this growing neighborhood needs decent food options.

More of a 2.5 TBH. But I’m a nice gal and I’ll bump it.
I was honestly looking forward to this addition!
The neighbourhood is lacking quick, nutritious options, so I was down to try this spot out.
Having it right across the street was added incentive.
A tea and dinner (protein+1 side) turned out to be far overpriced (shy of $ 20 including nice tip).
No way jose. There’s not enough creativity going on here for me to warrant it. I make home cooked meals on the regular and the options here are all something I would make myself in under an hour. My version not 100% organic but let’s face it we’re all gonna die anyways.
Noteworthy: the Marinara sauce on the bison meatballs was WAY too sweet. I’m talking borderline inedible! But I shoved it in my mouth to get my $ 9.95, three meat balls worth. The meatballs themselves were good (points here), and the broccoli side was alright (how do u mess up steamed broccoli). But again, nothing to rave about by a long shot.
TLDR: Overpriced for the lack of creativity/​wowing my tastebuds. May be clean eating, but it’s nothing to write home about. Will maybe go back for breakfast when rushing out the door.
If you can’t cook to save your life and make more money than I do, knock yourself out.

Totally decent food for an absurd price.
I ordered the Warrior bowl. Thankfully while eating it, I learned enough warrior skills that I was able to roll a bunch of suckas in front of the Tim Horton’s next door so I have enough cash so I could pay the $ 18 they wanted for this glorified rice pilaf.
I’ve gone here twice now. I’m starting to think that there’s an inside joke where they come up with physically-​active-​sounding-​hipster names for their food, which you order, and then they just drop a dollop of vegetable mush on your platter once you’re sufficiently shocked by the price tag.
Warrior!!! Maverick!!! Foodstamps!!!
Is the food healthy? It better be, because my blood pressure rises every time I see the audacity that they have when charging such ridiculous amounts.
Very similar to the restaurant ‘Fresh’. But more so in respect to the attitude that they have getting away with such economic shenanigans.
Lovely décor. But someone’s got to pay for those chairs.

Great addition to the neighborhood! Really fresh, healthy and tasty ingredients. Comfortable seating arrangements and friendly & attentive staff. Bright, large, open venue with a fun health and fitness theme.

Two of us went for dinner on a Sunday night and had the Kale caesar salad for one, and spiced flank steak plus sweet potato for the other. With 2 bottled beverages (kombucha) this came to $ 35 incl tax. The food was tasty, fresh and healthy and just the right amount (for 2 women) so there was no wastage. They have a great selection of high quality beverages — no junk pop at this place. It has a nice atmosphere — clean, simple and airy. Semi cafeteria style so you give your order at the counter then they bring it to you. Staff are very friendly.

Seems like this place is still working out a few kinks. They no longer offer the veggie power bake even though its still on the menu. They made a substitute with falafels and it was decent.
WARNING — the side of brussels sprouts contains bacon even though it’s not listed.
My friend ordered the warrior bowl, they substituted quinoa for the brown rice without asking my friend and unfortunately she can’t eat quinoa. They then made her another bowl with a root mash as a substitute, which she liked.
Staff are super friendly and accommodating and once this place works out its opening kinks it will be alright I think.

I enjoyed my first experience at Impact Kitchen today. It is a great addition to my hood of Corktown. The food was fresh and tasty with lots of healthy ingredients. I definitely would eat here again.

Great new addition to Corktown. Loved the delicious, hearty and healthy «Warrior power bowl». Made fresh to order, fantastic flavors. Big, bright and welcoming space to sit and chill with your meal or coffee.

Brought up the situation with the owner who apologized and said modifications are allowed.
He was very accommodating and food tasted very good

Grand opening day today and I’m excited just as a local resident! 1^st meal steel cut oats with fruit and it is yummy. Super friendly staff, beautiful layout and design. Can’t wait for lunch!
Will update review as eat my way through their menu.
Welcome to Corktown!
