Do Eat

This place reminds me of those sketchy chinese restaurants near Spadina and Dundas.
Floors havent been cleaned since 2008.
Bathroom is used to store random chit.
Fluorescent signs still left over from previous owners.
Menu filled with poor english translations of chinese dishes
Im taking a gamble each time I eat here. I feel like I’m gonna get hepatitis sooner or later.

Probably one of the most underrated restaurants in the plaza. Their prices are very reasonable, and their portions are huge. Best of all, their noodles are made fresh, so it’s a lot more chewy and better tasting than other restaurants that only use boxed noodles (although if you leave it in the soup for a whole, it’ll become soggy). Apart from their noodles, I also recommend trying their tofu and vegetable soup. It comes in a huge bowl, tastes really good and is very healthy.

I came here once only because my friend was eating there. Other than that I would have never entered. This place had their menu mostly in chinese so for those like me who can’t read it, this is not the place for you.
Their dishes are mainly more of the authentic chinese dishes. I felt like it was heavy on the msg though. The food was alright, but it was only later that night and the follow morning, I had a huge stomach ache. I’m not sure if it was the food, or the preparation/​sanitary conditions of this place, but I am never ever eating here again.

This restaurant looks pretty run down from the outside and inside, BUT it has very good authentic mid-​northern Chinese food, The dishes is spicy, numb and very flavourful. I have eaten here many time and has not been disappointed.
However this place may not be for everyone, I do highly recommend their Pig Intestine dish, if one likes to eat those.
You come here for the food, and not so much for the aesthetic feature of the physical resturant.
I will definitely come back here in the future for the food.
ps. I had to post this review because I feel the other reviews are not giving justice to this restaurant. The food is very very good here, you just have to know what to order!

So I was feeling adventurous one day and ended up at DoEat. Which honestly sounds pretty sketchy just by the sound of the name. And once you step inside you will realize it is sketchy from the inside too. you won’t find anything beautiful inside the restaurant. They had quite a few customers actually, which is always a great sign. All of them were oriental if that matters. So before I go any further, this place probably deserves a ³⁄₅ just from the number of customers who seem to enjoy the food.
But I on the other hand, not knowing just how oriental the food is order an item called «chili chicken and noodles». I love hakka chili chicken. And if your restaurant carries that item I will guarantee you that’s what I’ll be ordering. So I was delighted to see it!
My review is solely based off the dish I ate. Warning signs started ringing as soon as the container didn’t smell like fried goodness. It smelled for lack of a better word like saliva. When I open it my stomach turned a little bit, its definitely chili with chicken and noodles but its not chili chicken. Maybe at this point it was already over for doEat. But in hindsight those two words in combination could mean anything. And I love trying new things. You can’t go wrong with spicy and chicken right? When I try it its actually not too bad but I think it completely misses my taste pallet, it had way too much sichuan spices which completely overwhelmed my mouth. There were some random potatoes threw on there cause why not. In fact half of it was potatoes. The noodles themselves were pretty decent. The chicken not so much, wasn’t sure if it was really chicken at first.
Overall pretty sad dish, ¹⁄₅
+ 1 point for lots of customers

Somethings don’t change when a restaurant is taken over. Like the menu. The menu above the counter is leftover from the old restaurant. You can only order from the folding menus on the counter. There is currently a 10% «try business» discount if you pay cash.
When I went today, the old yellow menu of Sunshine (former tenant) was still up on display prominently above the counter. Staff don’t speak English very well and had a hard time explaining that the menu was from the old restaurant to the person in front of me. English on their signs/​menu don’t really make sense either, but are good enough to order from the «try business menu» (!?).
Lamb & Onion had lots of salt. I thought it was good, but my friend said it was too salty because of lots of sauce (I like salty!).
«Fried Soy Sauce Noodles» (醡醬麵) was cheap and ok ($ 6).
Definitely the usual cheap Chinese plaza eats.
