Imperfect Fresh Eats at York Mills has quickly become one of my favorite spots! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall great vibe of the place. The restaurant is always clean and well-organized, making it a pleasant place to sit down and enjoy a meal. I love how customizable the menu is—you can really make your bowl or salad just how you like it. Everything is so fresh, and the flavors always hit the spot. Whether I’m grabbing a quick lunch or a light dinner, it’s always a great experience here!

This is my go-to lunch spot with my colleagues. The food is healthy but still very tasty. The service is always great, and Winnie, the manager, along with the whole team, really make you feel welcome. Highly recommend!

If you're in the neighborhood looking for a fantastic spot for delicious and healthy food, you have to visit ImPerfect. This place is an absolute must-try! The bowls and the wraps are packed with flavor and were made with fresh ingredients. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient. Thanks again to Marge, Gagan and Harold for assisting the group I came with. My personal suggestion would be the chipotle chicken or the Char chicken bowl.

Passed by and found this "poke place". Very healthy and very nutritious. You order at the counter and you can sit at the tables to eat your lunch. Very affordable and delicious. If you need a lunch to go without breaking your wallet, this is an option.

There is nothing imperfect about "Imperfect". The patio is surrounded by nice flower decorations and two patio tables with 2 chairs each. Located in the heart of York Mills Gardens Plaza, on a diagonal from Longos. So, this is actually a vegetarian restaurant and food chain, and the food is healthy and tasty. This is our second visit without surprises. The restaurant's manager at this location is "Winnie" and she is very friendly and knowledgeable about her food. I will take pictures and update my review, but for now, you know it is Ricardo approved 😀 Here is the "Seasonal Mushroom Warm Bowl" 🥗 😋

I ordered from this place two days in a row, that’s how delicious it is! I noticed they opened in the neighborhood and wanted to try. Ordered a build your own bowl with chipotle chicken and all went crazy on toppings and sauces! The garlic aioli is DELICIOUS! Everything is fresh, nicely presented and it tastes great! Great price, great service and great food! The açai smoothie was also delicious!

I like imperfect but my experience here at the York Mills location was not good. The cashier and front of house staff were not disorganized, really bad at communication and honestly the service sucked overall. After placing our order, they informed us they didn t have any of the non-upcharged protein, and that i would take a while to wait while they cooked more (15+ mins). The only protein they had, they would have to charge us extra for? I feel like this is something you tell customers beforehand. And if you don t have any other proteins, you should honestly be offering it to us free of charge. Just ended up leaving cause this place wasn t it- I don t recommend this location.

I ve been coming to this place for a couple of months now and it s time that I leave a review for those who are looking for a new healthy spot. I am always greeted and treated with outstanding customer service with their team and especially the manager Winnie! The food amazes me everytime I come to to this location (I also go to the queen street west location). The food is always fresh and made with love. I highly suggest this restaurant as it s my go to, and I officially retired going to any other healthy spots other than this restaurant. Try it out and trust me it ll make you want to continue your day with confidence and motivation!

My favorite place to get a healthy meal if I dont feel like cooking. I usually get the shrimp bowl. The shrimps are big, seasoned and cooked very nicely. The toppings are always fresh and the avocado is cut right in front of you. I find that I have to upsize to a large as well as double up on the protein otherwise it wont be enough for me. It comes out to about $25 which isnt too bad considering its one of the only healthy food options nearby. Staff are super nice and and the butterfly pea lemonade is so good!

I work alot on the road and sometimes i find it very difficult to find a healthy, fulfilling meal. Imperfect nailed all those spots for me. I felt satisfied and ready to tackle the rest of the day. The smoothie was great too! first impression was staff was very attentive and accommodating to a first timer! highly recommend and I will return.

Been going here for a couple times already. Its our go to lunch after we go to the gym. But from what happened today, i do not think we want to come back. We order the same thing every time and request extra chicken. They used to give us good portions. Today was different. There was barely extra chicken. When we asked the staff, she answered us with so much attitude. This was the first we ever experience this. Other staff are usually nice and accomodating. Too bad.

Ordered a super green smoothie bowl and butterfly lemonade refresher. The smoothie bowl is delicious! They could do a better job blending however, there were some rather large chunks of frozen fruit. It tasted amazing and the toppings were great. The butterfly lemonade was refresher was ok, it was kind of bitter tasting and the colour not even close to what the menu shows. But overall, I d definitely go back

★★

I found multiple huge frozen chunk of banana unblended while I tried to enjoy the overpriced smoothie bowl I had purchased. At this point it wasn t a smoothie bowl it was just chunks of frozen mango and banana. Extremely unsatisfied and overpriced for the quality of food I was served. They put ingredients in the smoothie bowl that were NOT mentioned in the description and details of what was supposed to be in it. The only thing that had flavour was granola. Dissatisfied with my time at imperfect. There is truly not much perfect at imperfect

I was about to grab lunch at Boustan, but noticed this new establishment that opened up next door, and decided to give it a try. I ordered a custom bowl with shrimp and kalbi beef. It was delicious!

I ve ordered from here twice now, first time it took a long time and they were so confused but it was shortly after they opened, it was all new staff. My bowl had SO much black rice and they forgot the dressing. Just ordered again, months later and the smoothie bowl was supposed to have bananas, blueberries, apples, mangos and fresh seasonal fruit. It only came with banana, kiwi and cantaloupe (???) in the bowl. Disappointing. Still decent food

Love this place. They serve the best salads. Always fresh and delicious. Unlike other salad bars, you can actually taste how clean the food is. They take great care to make sure food is fresh, clean and flavourful unlike other places/restaurants that serve their greens right out of the bag which is gross.

Tried this spot for the first time. The menu options are ok. I bought the miso lemongrass with tofu option. The meal was good and fresh. The prices are fairly high but I assume it s due to inflation and having a fresh menu. I found the sever to be non-chalant - for a new business I just thought it was off-putting. When I asked what was in a particular bowl she pointed at a menu by the cash register (You wouldn t know it was a menu unless someone pointed it out). Anyhow, I would like to try some other items and hopefully the service is a bit more welcoming.

★★★★★
December 23, 2023

I always have a great conversation with the staff here (although i always forget their names!) Theyre all so sweet and memorize my order because i make some adjustments to the signature bowl. I usually order the char chicken bowl (must try!) but today I wanted to try something new. The staff recommended surf and turf which has beef and shrimp for the protein. It was really delicious too! the usual sauce is a spicy peanut (but due to my nut allergy i changed it to the garlic aioli) and sweet thai sauce. I also tried their new butterfly lemonade and it was delicious and very pretty! (different colors). Definitely recommend this place if youre looking for healthy, flavourful and fresh food.

I ordered my customized bowl from your place on uber eats on 24th of May. Despite what you claim, the ingredients were not fresh at all and the whole bowl was so soggy in general. I was disappointed that I paid 28$ for a bowl with that quality!

December 23, 2023

Hit and miss. Depending on when you go, the toppings can either be fresh or stale besides the roasted veggies which are always stale. Recently got my usual shrimp bowl and the shrimp was rancid because I got the runs shortly after. Hopefully management can improve on these things because when the toppings and shrimps are fresh, it s actually good.

I frequent two of Imperfect s downtown locations. I m happy to say this one is just as good, with great food and great service. I m also glad the staff asks if cutlery is required. Far too many takeout places just throw in plastic cutlery whether you need them or not. Also, here, they use non-plastic forks. Parking: Plenty of parking in the plaza, though the closest part of the lot is shared with Longo s and an LCBO so it does get busy. Wheelchair accessibility: No automatic front door but there is enough room to maneuver once inside.

If youre in the mood for a delicious and nutritious meal, look no further than imperfect fresh eats! The salads here are made with only the freshest and most flavorful ingredients, and the options for customization are endless. I particularly enjoyed the charred Chicken and Avocado bowl, which was a perfect combination of Smokey juicy chicken and creamy avocado atop a bed of crisp greens. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. If youre looking for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner option, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options.

Food is good but supplies are low at times and what u ask for isn t always there. Management should try to substitute at least like add more of another item if they are running low on what u asked for instead of chintzing the meal. Not good service not good business. Service really depends on who u get, including management. And I ve only been there twice. Place is spacious and looks kinda new.
