Soos in Toronto

Weve been coming here for over a decade! This family-run restaurant remains in my top 5 places to eat in Toronto. It never disappoints. The tasting Feed Me menu remains one of the best deals in town, at $60 for an incredible array of Malaysian food. Fantastic wines and cocktails, plus non-alcoholic options, round out the experience. Service is always top notch. Highly recommend! Vegetarian options: Lots! Dietary restrictions: They are incredibly flexible here!

Quite possibly the best restaurant in the city. Their feed me menu and the house cocktails are a must-try. Strongly recommend!!!

This place is very good, nice atmosphere and great food!

After being on the wait list for 2 hours we were refused to get sat by the condescending manager/hostess because we wanted drinks and not a full 10 course meal.

Enjoyed my meal very much! We did the tasting menu, which offered a good variety of dishes, and we were both full at the end. We were able to request dishes that we wanted to try. The food tasted good, it was hard to pick a favourite. Cocktails were delicious as well. Service was good. It was about $200 for 2 tasting menus, and 2 cocktails. Worth it for the quantity and quality. Would visit again. Only knocks were that they asked if we were celebrating an occasion, and we indicated we were, but it didnt seem like they did anything different, so then why ask? Also, could have been a little more attentive with the water bottle, but that was already towards the end of the meal.

You can eat refined quality vegetarian dishes at Soos in an informal, pleasant atmosphere.

Hosted my birthday here and the attention to detail - from the initial booking, to the menu selection through to the service that evening - was impeccable. I am so happy with my choice, everyone was raving about the food and the ambiance. Thank you Soos!

I was looking forward to their plant based options. However I was extremely underwhelmed by what I ate. I ordered the bao $19 and the cumin noodles $26. Both the bao bun as well as the noodles were not made in house. The seitan is also not made in house. I was also charged for chili sambal which I doubt is made in house. The bao had lettuce, seitan and mayo. Nothing grand or fancy since it s all made from frozen and just assembled. It was tasty but definitely lacked something. The noodles were cold. Tofu crumble on top was overly spiced and really had not much going on flavour wise. I could have made both these dishes at home and better. I regret to say that I won t be coming back to try anything else. It just doesn t seem worth my hard earned money.

2024.10.17 This is not an authentic Malaysian restaurant. It is a trendy small restaurant with Southeast Asian elements that attracts young people and local customers. It is not suitable for diners who pursue perfect Malaysian taste. Food prices are high and portions are small. 150 yuan for two people is not a reasonable price.

Always a great dinner

I recently visited this restaurant hoping for an authentic dining experience, but unfortunately, it fell short in several ways. The food was far from what I expected in terms of authenticity. The dishes seemed to lack the traditional flavors and depth that are usually associated with the cuisine, and it felt like shortcuts were taken in preparation. To make matters worse, the service was underwhelming. The staff seemed disinterested, and we had to wait an unusually long time for our food despite the restaurant not being very busy. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I wouldn t recommend it if you re looking for genuine flavors or attentive service.

Terrible service especially from the manager. Save your money and eat at a better place!

This has been the most disappointing experience with a restaurant till date, I would give SOOS 0 stars if I could. I made reservations for my parents special birthday dinner weeks ahead for a table for 14. However, a week before to the dinner, my grandmother passed away and we were unable to make the reservations. Celebrating a birthday was the last thing on our mind, and therefore asked to cancel two days ahead of the scheduled reserved date due to the passing of my grandmother. The manager Lauren lacked empathy and said we had to have cancelled 72 hours before or still be expected to either come with a group of people to meet $300 worth of food or pay a cancellation fee of 300 dollars. I understand that their policies are firm but empathy and acting ethically is truly what sets apart a quality restaurant from the others. Clearly SOOS does not meet this standard as they overlooked this opportunity for $300. We obviously did not dine at SOOS as it is just inappropriate during our time of mourning. Luckily the bank reimbursed me after hearing my story. We were looking forward to possibly coming in the future but will now never be dining here. If you are planning to come here, you might as well spend your money on another restaurant which has far better morals than this place.

My favourite restaurant in the city! The food, service, and overall experience is incredible every time. The staff is really kind and attentive, and I love that this place is family-run. The feed me menu is a great way to try and share a bunch of things, and it s honestly really great value for the amount and quality of food you get. Highly recommend!

The char kuay teow was good and I love the sago dessert as well. I would love to try the other items on the menu.

Amazing food! Had the nasi lemak with rempah ayam, char kueh teow and pisang goreng - all excellent and IMO, this is the best malaysian restaurant in toronto! The nasi lemak should be on their permanent menu ! You dont get that perfect wok hei in char kueh teows overseas and Soo is the only place who does it so well!

This has turned into my go-to restaurant - I ve been 5x this year for the feed me menu and never been disappointed. The flavor profile is fantastic, and the service has always been prompt, welcoming, and restaurant is kept quite clean. Soos has a great ambiance and is always a hit!

The food was great overall. Special mention to the roti, kway teow, prawns, slaw, the Malaysian tiramisu and Guava Colada cocktail. I dont recommend the fried mushroom (barely taste or see the mushroom) nor the braised beef. Way too noisy indoors. We had to speak very loud to hear each other. I would recommend their patio.

My friend recommended to come here for dinner. He literally said you need to work down Ossington and eat everything down the street . I took his advice and started booking them all. Soos being one of the spots that I booked on this trip and I am gonna review it. I came in here blind not knowing what to order, and just thought of just getting a tasting menu with my friends. When I entered the restaurant, I love the vibe already. The atmosphere was just stellar with busy people just wandering around, and the host literally gave us a good strong welcome and a smile to the restaurant. We were then seated to the back in this tiny little room and a nice table that could seat all of me and my friends comfortably. When we sat down the waitress arrived and she was nice and friendly. She knew the menu quite well as I had some questions about allergies since my friend was allergic to some things. And she knew exactly how to handle the situation so well. She suggested that we get some drinks to start and I ordered a Guava Colada. Guava Colada- This was delicious. The guava juice really mixes so well with the coconut rum. I enjoyed this a lot. It didn t feel like I was drinking alcohol at all. Which can be dangerous, the presentations was a little lack luster but overall a very good drink. 8/10 Prosperity Tossed Slaw- This was the show of the night. This slaw like salad like dish was amazing. The texture of the salad was biggest part of the show. The first crunch, literally crunch, was a good bite of the papaya with the taro root and the lotus chips. The sauce they used was a perfect Asian vinaigrette, and the fresh lime juices just searing right into the papaya was just astoundingly iconic. Would recommend just come for the slaw. 10/10 Satay Babi- this was a beautiful steak laid upon a huge amount of satay sauce. This was a beautiful take on the traditional street food of satay. I enjoyed how I can eat this with utensils and savor every bite of this dish. The sauce of satay was warm and the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. It was delicious. This is a must order plate when you are here at Soos. 9.5/10 Cod in Opor- a nice stew, and I loved the opor. It was delicious, but we ordered a bowl of rice to kinda compliment the opor. It was perfectly balanced in salt levels and it was delicious. But the additional carbohydrates added a different delicious flavour with the fish. It really made the dish pop more with rice. 7/10 Rendang Braised short rib- wow this was a huge surprise for me. I loved the slightly charred cabbage as this was served with some rice at the same time. The sauce of the braised short rib was perfect. The meat fell right off the bones as you ate the dish and the deliciousness of the rib was cooked to perfection. Really did enjoy this dish a lot. I wished there was more meat and more cabbage to enjoy though. The cabbage was so much fun to eat. 9/10 Char Kway Teow- like any pan fried rice noodles with meat this was quite well done. I love how savoury the sauce they use and on top of that, it was perfectly steaming hot when it arrived at the table. The kitchen surely knows how to cook a perfectly plate of this. And not just that, the meat was sliced at a good size which you don t need to work that hard to chew on the meat. Loved that. This is an order again type of plate. 9/10 If I was to visit Toronto again, this is a must eat again type of place. And on top of that, I will be bringing different friends and maybe try out their brunch menu! Would love to just bring enough friends to take over that large table at the back and have a good large family dinner!

Came in with my mom and we were definitely not disappointed. We got the Feed Me for 2 and it was more than enough food. Everything was delicious and the flavours were wonderfully varied per course. I was suggested a cocktail by one of the staff and it was also absolutely wonderful. We felt bad asking for the last dish to go, but we were stuffed and just couldnt eat any more. Beautiful time and would definitely recommend!

One of my favorite restaurants in Toronto! If it s your first time, make sure to get the tasting menu! It s a very reasonable price for the amount of food.

Highly recommended the tasting menu! All round great experience

Delicious food, we especially loved the noodles with shrimp and the roti. I would recommend the tasting menu. Service was friendly but a bit slow and the place is quite loud.

Great place great food!

Went during the street festival. Smash burger was great, gf said prawn was a little basic, try. New places find new things

Pretty authentic malaysian food! Love the char kwetiaw and the drinks. Will go back again.

It was nice, service was kind, food was delicious but felt oily

Had an absolutely lovely dinner here. We all ordered the tasting menu and there was a LOT of food. Some stand out dishes and great service. Would definitely recommend

Came here on last Friday as my friends wanted to treat me for my birthday and was promptly greeted by the friendly staffs. We came as a group of 5, and they were quite accommodating in serving the dishes so it feeds 5. Kapitan Chicken Tacos 3.5/5 Great juicy chicken loaded on top of a taco shell. It was nothing wowing, but it was good. Dhal & Roti 3/5 I wish they had roti on the menu for Rendang! We ended up saving most of it for the Rendang which went REALLY well together. The Dhal was good, but again, nothing special. The portion did seem a bit low to share 5 rotis as well. Rempah Fried Mushroom 5/5 One of the best dishes from Soos. The combination of this hot, sweet, and umami filled dish was amazing. I loved the combination of everything and when I go back, I am definitely having this again. Sambal Chili 3.5/5 We ordered a side of Sambal Chili and I considered getting the jar but it tasted more like garlic chili oil than anything. It had a pretty good kick to it, but it wasnt really a sauce. Rendang Braised Short Rib 3.75/5 The Rendang was quite tasty, and the meat was quite soft. It just did not hit the spot for me as much as I thought it would. Char Kway Teow 5/5 This was an amazing dish. Added some Sambal Chili for some extra kick, and it tasted even better. Star of the night along with the mushrooms. Kopi Tarik Tiramisu 3/5 The portion was pretty big! I had pretty high expectations, but I would probably not order it again. I think I like my tiramisu a bit more soaked in coffee, and I found this to have a lot of cream that felt quite redundant towards the end. Overall, the service was solid and the food was pretty good as well. Would love to come back again now that I know some of the dishes that I really like!

Food was disappointing. The servers may be kind people in their personal lives but the service was not great. Let s talk food though, we ordered roti dhal, satay, char kuai teow and the sambal chili. The sambal was nothing like the real deal. It was chili oil and tasted exactly like my home jar Chinese chili oil. I know it s suppose to be Malaysian food reimagined but why is the food reimagined to be more bland? The peanut sauce was lacking flavour. Everything was lacking the authentic flavour and ang-moh-ified . Satay turned into a babi steak with peanut sauce was a good idea but wish the authentic flavours were kept. The roti with dahl was the only thing we genuinely liked flavour wise. If you re a Malaysian or Singaporean looking for authentic nostalgic flavour I would not recommend this place.

Expertly prepared, interesting food. I appreciated the perfectly-prepared cod. Service was superb.

Simply great. Great great food. We ordered the Roti and dhal, char kwey tiao, beef rendang and pisang goreng (banana dessert). Everything was exceptional. Would rate as one of the best in Toronto. 10/10

Always great food and so accommodating! We were 45 minutes late for our reservation due to traffic, but called ahead and they were so understanding. Cant recommend this place or the people enough!

Great service! Good food. And a nice place for a larger group too. Some of the reviews seem a bit harsh. The fried mushrooms were fantastic and I want them everyday lol Vegetarian options: They had alternate versions of several dishes. They were all great!

This is my favourite restaurant in the city. The vegan menu is incredible. Our server Tyra was so kind and lovely and I want to be her friend. I highly recommend this spot.

Really wanted to like this place but was unfortunately very disappointed in the food. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, but the food was just flavourless, cold, and overpriced.

Nice place, great drinks and creative menu. Food was flavorful but very oily and service was super rushed. The waitress was talking as if she was running a marathon with her mouth.

Food was great. Super good Malaysian experience. Only problem is it s a touch expensive for what you get. But the dishes are actually superb. Also if you re vegetarian they have a whole menu, which is great.

Restaurent forces you to take their tasting menu for groups of 6.

Vegetarian options: Best vegan food in the city! Food

$60 per person tasting menu is family style. Tasty and fresh. Good value! Friendly service and renovated decor. Nice cocktails. Old reviews: $55 per person tasting menu is the citys best value for excellent food. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Tasty cocktails. This restaurant is one of the highlights of Toronto eating. Kudos to Lauren and Francesca. Casual fine dining. They can accommodate literally any dietary requirements.

Food and service are excellent. Great plant based menu Vegetarian options: Full plant based menu. Food : 5/5 |

May be my favourite restaurant in the city. The Feed Me selection on the menu provides a wide variety of options, and does not disappoint. The owner is an amazing guy who took the time to speak with us, the service is always amazing here!

Feed me option gives you the chance to try a lot.

This place is one of the best on the Ossington strip. Consistently great service and food. Clean. Very fair and well priced. Good wine by the glass. I m a tough critic and this is my fav place on Ossington for sure. Good vegan options (not that I m vegan but it s delicious). Good quality food. Love it. Heading there now for second time this week

The food was absolutely amazing here!! There were so many different options and each dish that I had was off the charts flavourful. As a vegetarian they had incredible dishes without meat and made the dish feel as though it wasnt a substitute for meat but a full fleshed out meal. I especially liked the Sambal Dhal and Roti as well as the Char Siu Bao because they had fantastic depth of flavour and elegant textures and presentation. Overall it was and incredible dining experience here at Soos.

The food at Soos is simply heavenly. The bao, the mushrooms, the dhal, everything. Such depth of flavours. And such authenticity. Sadly I don t have pictures, but if you want a taste of real Malaysia in Toronto, this is the place to go. And choose the Feed Me option. You ll roll out of there, but you ll have tried so many of their delicious dishes and loved every minute of it. Their cocktails are fantastic to boot. And if you have a mix of dietary restrictions, they cater to a good number of them. Even adapting their Feed Me option to satisfy vegetarians and omnivores alike.

Honestly delicious. The service was superb, they were totally on top of it, our water was never empty, and how they time your dishes to come out is perfect. We tried the pepper prawns, tempeh fried mushrooms, prosperity tossed slaw, char kway teow, and rendang braised short rib. Every dish was amazing. Dont skip the slaw, it is full of flavour!

Much like everyone else s review DO NOT order the Feed Me for 2. It s weird the chef s choice menu gives you the same items as the a la carte menu. So when I simply calculated the food I got comparing to the Feed Me menu it came to be $166 vs $120 for the Feed Me.I basically paid $4 more for them to decide for me. Food was good, nothing amazing. Server was nice and friendly.

Service is great. We got the tasting menu, and the food was tasty, but I think it was slightly overpriced, considering the portions.

Choose the Fed Me option, you will not regret it. Amazing flavours!

Stumbled across this Gem while walking along Ossington. Sat at the bar and was served by the bartender Jay who was friendly and attentive offering a few food and cocktail suggestions which were all great choices. The cod was especially our favourite. Service, food, and ambiance were great. Hoping to return again soon with friends! Vegetarian options: They have a whole separate menu catering to vegans !

FOOD: standard, nothing much to talk about. Char Kway Teow: noodles is overcooked, lack of flavor. Rendang Beef: the beef is dry like cardboard, thanks good it sit in a bath of decent curry otherwise itll be a disaster. Pork Belly Pancake: a piece of pork belly on a crispy coconut pancake, not bad but not a big fan of this. Pisang Goreng: the only good thing on the table. Good combination of texture and flavor. DRINKS: Madam Xine: decent, I dont have much memory left for this as its not really stand out. Nice Rice O.F: love the toasted rice in it, it gives a good asian vibe. SERVICE: not bad, bartender and waitress constantly checking up on us. VIBE: half bar half restaurant, its so noisy in there. Nice decoration.

Came here Saturday evening, the restaurants was busy. Always want to try their char kwetiaw! The Char kwetiaw taste very authentic! like in kopi tiam in malaysia. I definetly will come back! Food

Always a wonderful meal and terrific service.

Delicious food and lovely service. Loved the prawns, everything we ordered was very flavourful and well prepared.

Food was ok - nothing special and very salty. Service on the other hand - server was nice but the manager was awful. I came to this restaurant with friends from outside the country and one had never tried tequila and decided to order a cocktail with Mezcal. When it came to us he realized he did not like the taste due to the smokey flavour. Innocent mistake as he knows nothing about tequila. I politely explain this to our server and asked if we could change it for another cocktail. We were told this would be impossible since there was nothing actually wrong with the cocktail. Having worked in as well as visited many restaurants in Toronto I was shocked as this usually isn t a big deal at all. When I mentioned this the server basically said my manager won t let me change it - would you like to speak to her so I replied, sure. Manager came over (early 40s East Asian woman , didn t get her name) and was immediately condescending, combative and just overall rude, we barely got a hello. How could someone not know Mezcal is Smokey? I explained the situation and let her know that he genuinely did not know and she still was rude and insisted - nope, can t change it. Having worked as a manager myself I couldn t believe how unpleasant she was. Most she did was sprinkle some citrus in it to make it a little better. We were later given the bill with an 18% autograt for our large group of 5. Super disappointing as I had heard great things about this place and was happy to show my out of town friends a cool spot. Definitely not returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Always a great place to have delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, amazing service and if you have any dietary needs they are very good at accommodating your needs. One of our favourite restaurants in Toronto for sure! Vegetarian options: Always accommodated beautifully! Dietary restrictions: Very good at accommodating any of your dietary needs!

Dined with two friends for my birthday. We ordered a variety of dishes to share. We started with a full teapot cocktail. I can t remember the name but it tasted like watered down pineapple juice, no depth no creativity, certainly not worth the $48 bucks it cost. We ordered a variety of plant based apps including the bao, slaw, brocoli all were delicious. Then had some noodles also good. Huge disappointment with our final two mains: the curry, bland and came out cold and the short rib which was the biggest disappointment just utterly dry and flavourless. Finished with the fried banana ice cream. Also the service was disorganized and plain bizarre. Overall it was alright but likely wouldn t return. Vegetarian options: Good variety of vegetarian/ vegan options

Delicious, interesting food and quiet noise level, making it great for conversation on a night out. Excellent service.

I would give 0 stars if I could. Worst dining experience I ve had in Toronto. Food was underwhelming. Service was offensive. They wanted us out before we even walked through the doors. Management was arrogant and had very little interest in customer service. All around unpleasant experience.

Great meal and fantastic service

What an amazing experience! We tried 3 items, chicken tacos, Char Ka Teow and the Short Rib and honestly everything was fire. Definitely would come back again, the flavours and dishes were top notch!

Dined with a group of thirteen for a friends 30th birthday and had an immaculate experience! We sat in the private dining area and had the Feed Me set menu which was $70 per person and WELL worth it. I had all the vegan options and loved everything especially the Char Sui Seitan Baos, Dhal and Roti, as well as the Tofu Kapitan. I had the Lucano Spritz cocktail too which was perfectly balanced. There were a fair few allergies/dietary needs at the table and the staff was incredibly attentive to all of us. Overall the serving team was lovely and very communicative. We also were not rushed in any way which was nice, as we could really enjoy all the courses. For any other vegans dining here - they have a full vegan menu which they link on their website - the Fat Choi menu. I cant wait to go back and try even more of it. Really couldnt have asked for a better dining experience!

4 of us went to celebrate a birthday and did FEED ME $60.oo PP and so enjoyed everything that was put infront of us. Make a reservation and enjoy!

Went twice for the tasting menu and loved it. Hard to book but we walked in the second time and managed to get a table cause of a no show great service

Food was mind blowing, service was amazing. Dietary restrictions: For those of you with egg allergies, only 2 things in their menu had eggs. One was the Kapitan tacos, but even that they gave it to us with lettuce wraps to accommodate the allergy

Delicious food and drinks, the staff worked seamlessly as a team, pacing was perfect. Small and large plates to share.

Ordered takeout. The Good Cod in Opor large plate tasted pretty good and the sambal was good aswell. Overall dish was seasoned well, and quite enjoyable The Bad Photo attached how big the large plate was. Did not come with rice, and very tiny portions for 34$ after tax takeout.

Delicious food and amazing experience! We had the tasting menu, ordered drinks and desserts Photos of some of the dishes. Highly recommended! Food

Amazing experience at Soos. Food was delicious, I plan to go when Im back in Toronto!

Came here for dinner on a Sunday night for a friends bday party. At first glance the place looked very small but cozy, we sat at the back room where I assume they host larger parties/ is their private area . We got to try the tasting menu that consists of 8 courses: Scrumptious Cakes 8/10 Kari Puff 9/10 Chicken Tacos 10/10 Chili Broccoli & Cauliflower 5/10 Pork belly Pancakes 7.5/10 Slaw 6.5/10 Kway Teow 10/10 Braised Short Ribs 9/10 Everything was overall very delicious, food came fast and the service was good.

Delicious lunar new year Fat Choi special, teapot cocktails were an added bonus!!

One of my favourite restaurants in the city, the set menu is affordable and always amazing!

Great night at Soos. Restaurant is small so reservations are recommended. Food was yummy!

Outstanding! Highly recommended!

Amazing. Havent had this tasty food for awhile for sure. This place would be my fav place in toronto for the next couple of years Servers are so nice too

Was craving for some real good Singaporean/Malaysian food. Decided to make a trip to these guys even though they are a bit far from me. Boy, they did not disappoint! Everything done not just right, but superbly. Heck, I will go just for the Kway Teow alone, its just that good. Superior service. Changed my plate and refilled water bottle twice during the meal. To note - they do not do lunch, must book in advance. Portions are half the size of what they serve in regular restaurants.

Great portions and food. Server was friendly and attentive as well. Only negative is our table was not ready until 15 mins past our reservation time.

My friend and I were so impressed by the food here. We got a bunch of stuff, but our 10/10 dishes were the prosperity slaw (20 ingredient slaw) and the Cod in Oper (coconut curry broth). Omg so yum!!!!

Delicious vegan food and cocktails. Make sure to book a reservation!

Love the tacos and curry. Good balance of flavours.

Good vegan options, nice serving staff. Unfortunately the host (Australian guy?) was rude, told my partner and I to wait outside in the cold for 15 minutes for the rest of our party to arrive. This despite the fact there was more than sufficient standing room near the bar area. Dietary restrictions: Good vegan options.

Malaysia in the heart of Ossington Village. SOOS is a culinary experience. Offer the most incredible vegan menu. It s full savour and creative. The service is very very friendly. Don t miss cocktail and mocktail menu. D E L I C I O U S.

Our go to for,IMHO the closest to a Malaysian dining experience in T.O. If they have the occasional Nasi Lemak, its worth to drop the dinner plan and go there instead. Advance reservation to prevent disappointment. Food

Decided to spend about an hour here before our table at another place nearby became ready. Very pleasantly surprised by everything from the service, the quality of the food, the quality of the drinks, and especially the separate vegan menu. The server actually confirmed that their non-vegan menu even uses completely vegan butter, so for those that are dairy-free, you can order off the regular menu as well! Will definitely be back

I went to eat laksa because they said they had laksa, but I couldnt eat laksa because they said it was a limited-time menu and that it would open briefly in two weeks. I guess it was an event menu. It seemed like it only lasted a moment. As I was disappointed, I ordered chicken curry noodles and taco/lentil curry + naan, and I was quite satisfied. The chicken curry noodles were a bit salty, but considering it was a foreign seasoning, it wasnt too salty... The atmosphere was nice and the employees were friendly. We spent 80-90 dollars for two people with two cans of beer. one. th. silver! Its worth going

I knew I was in the mood for asian food but man! I was not expecting this. I was there as a table of four. Two vegans and two non vegans. We had the tasting menu. Which was well worth the $50 per person. (It could easily be that amount with a starter, entree and drink anyways) It gave us six rounds of amazingly diverse and eclectic flavours and textures. My mind and soul raced for hours after dinner with what happened. The food was deep in flavour and ambition. The chefs are not shy. The waitstaff was very intune with the restaurant and the diners. It felt upscale in a way but not stuffy. (I felt under dressed in a t-shirt, hoodie and a cap though) Such a great dining experience. Vegetarian options: Full vegan menu

Really enjoyed the Fat Choi tasting menu. Ill be coming back again

We try to frequent Soos as often as we can. Possibly the most underrated restaurant in Toronto. Incredible food, beautifully crafted cocktails, chic and cozy design and unbelievably attentive, gracious team that work here. They are great with allergies if you are GF, DF, V, there will not only be options for you, they are just as delicious and you are not sacrificing flavour or experience ever. Definitely reccommend the Dahl & Roti and Char Kway Teow, but weve tried almost their entire menu by now and everything hits. Never change, Soos!

Came here with a friend and had a great meal. The service was great and the atmosphere was chill. Would recommend it over a few other spots on the Ossington strip.

Excellent food and wonderful service. Traditional dishes using modern methods and serving but without crossing into the fusion territory.

We tried the tasting menu - which is a great option when you dont want to pick your own food. Everything was tasty and service was good too.

I love the atmosphere at Soos. They have so many amazing cocktail options and their plates are great for sharing. My friend is vegan, and there were so many amazing options for us to share, they even had their own vegan menu. I ll definitely be returning as they rotate their menu quite frequently and I d love the try their new dishes.

Cool spot on Ossington for Malaysian food. Didn t get a pic of the Char Kway Teow but that was the highlight of the meal in my opinion. The texture of the noodles were perfect and there was a nice mild charred taste.

Was there yesterday for lunch. Spend $80 on Lunch these people dont a personality. And also MISSING my French bread with my soup. How can a restaurant missing a process when putting a meal together.

They had a limited menu as were closing down for the month, but would like to go back and explore more. Place is cozy and usually busy. So better to reserve in advance.

The good not only looked delicious it tasted delicious. I would totally recommend this restaurant! An authentic, modern take on food. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and is clean. I cant wait to go back again with my friends and clients.

If youre in the mood for Asian and Malaysian fusion cuisine, Soos is definitely worth a visit. While I enjoyed the tacos, pad see ew, and cocktails, none of the dishes were particularly outstanding and could have more depth of flavor. That being said, the service at Soos was friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a nice spot for a casual meal or drinks with friends.

I am disappointed as I expect some traditional and real Malaysian cuisine. I used to travel to a lot of Asian countries and missed those flavour. However, I found it is a mixed of Asian cuisine instead of Malaysian specific. It could be a good place to drink and chat but if you want to try Malaysian flavor, you would be disappointed.

SO GOOD! We were very happy with every single item that we got. I don t have a picture but the mushroom bao buns were probably our favourite! We had a variety of dishes and shared them all. Everything was super flavourful and perfectly cooked. The cocktails were fine, the star was definitely the food. Our server was also really lovely! 100% worth it.

I was pleasantly surprised. The location is small and was a little hard to find, but the food was very good and nicely presented. I went here for a birthday celebration and we were seated in the space for larger reservations. Only thing was the time limit, it would ve been nice to not feel so rushed at the end.

Food was severely lacking flavour and salt. I don t think anyone at our table had anything good to say about the taste. Very small portions for our group of 12. Servers were nice though. But I d skip and go somewhere with flavour for half the price .

Food was delicious, and the vibe was just right.

Absolutely amazing There is nothing missing from this place, the vibes, the service, the drinks and THE FOOD 10/10. It s a very fancy restaurant experience within very reasonable price here. There is this dessert called sago sago, it comes in a hall with syrup and you have to mix them, I think people who like bubble tea would like it, very unique and my favourite dessert right now.

The experience was great, service is good. The only downside i guess is portion and price. Quite small for the price but definitely recommend because of the vibe and experience. Little selection of food, lots of alcohol. If you looking for a place to chill with good food then yes! Also, the taste is little bit salty for me. Asian flavor supposed to have a little sweetness

This was by far the worst Malaysian food Ive ever had. It tasted like someone went to a Malaysian cooking class once and then created the menu. As someone with Malaysian heritage, this came off like poor Western appropriation. They have clearly focused their menu on drinks as it takes up about 80% of their menu. Zero depth to the seasoning of their food. My group ordered 6 items off the menu and all were very disappointing.

Amazing food always, the team is super lovely and accommodating, and the service was seamless from start to finish.

Excellent service! Amazing and tasty food.

Food and service were great! There isn t a lot of south east asian cuisine (specifically Malaysian, Laos, and Indonesian food) in Toronto, so having to experience this at Soos was good.

It was so good before COVID. Quality of the food has definitely declined. We got the feed me option and none of the 6 dishes had flavour or taste. Hoping it ll pick up back again but won t be going back for a while.

We had the Feed Me experience and it was worth it. The Char Kway Teon was fantastic. Would highly recommend that but thoroughly enjoyed everything I ate. An amazing night Food

The food was incredible. I would skip the crabs as it tasted so so. But the cod was divine omg it was so tasty, and the cauliflower broccoli dish was amazing. Also the noodles with king prawns. We really recommend this place.

The food here is excellent. I have been 4 times in the past two years and the food has been consistently good, my favourite is the Char Kway Teow but honestly, everything on their menu is good. I strongly recommend doing the feed me experience that way you can try multiple things from the menu if youre uncertain about what to order. I think you also get great value for your money as its around 60-70 dollars and you get A LOT of food.

An undercover favorite of so many people. If you try any of the food here, youll want to move in. Do the feed me if youre hungry. Youll want to try everything here anyway

I must express my disappointment with the dining experience. My family and I opted for the tasting menu, hoping for a remarkable culinary adventure, but unfortunately, it fell short of our expectations. Despite the glowing recommendations we had received about this restaurant and its service, we found both to be underwhelming. Overall, while there were no major flaws in my meal or the service, the lack of excitement and the presence of better alternatives in the vicinity make it difficult for me to recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly.

Were semi-regular patrons of Soos, and, as expected, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner - the food was wonderful, service was excellent and ambiance was great. We chose the Feed Me option and were delighted with the variety of dishes.

This place was a great discovery on Ossington ave. We ordered from both the vegan and classic menu and all was exceptional!

Amazing, had the tasting menu and everything was perfect!

The fried banana dessert was SO GOOD! The ice cream was delicious and hit all the right spots. Best dessert spot (aside from bang bang) on Ossington

My cousin suggested this restaurant and I m glad she did because this has become one of my top restaurants in the city. The food was absolutely amazing, from presentation to the taste. We did the feed me option and were so full by the end of it. Service was really good as well, attentive and knowledge about the food and drink menu. Best part for my lactose intolerant folks, no dairy on the menu. My favourite two were the Dahl + Roti and the slaw. Can t wait to return! Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: We ll accommodate to dietary restrictions. Parking: Green P located at Ossington and Queen, limited space. Possibly less than 20 spots. One side of Ossington has parking throughout the day, the opposite states you can t park from 4-6pm. People still park, but just an increased chance of obtaining a parking ticket. Kid-friendliness: No kids menu and I didn t see any high chairs. I wouldn t say this is a kid friendly space, but you can try. Wheelchair accessibility: Washrooms are not accessible as they are located in the basement.

Really yummy vegan options. The roti was a real highlight, soo crispy and soo soft. Staff was really lovely too. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Easily one of my favourite restaurants in the city. The food, service and drinks are consistently 10/10 every time. Chicken tacos are my all time fave!

Speaking as someone born and raised in Singapore (adjacent to Malaysia), this place is phenomenal! Its hard enough to find a Malaysian restaurant here, much less an authentic one. Unlike other restaurants that water down the flavours for the western palate, I can say that Soos strives to retain authenticity in every dish. We ordered the Feed Me, which is like a Chefs Tasting Menu. The price is incredibly reasonable so we were not expecting much food, but we were completely full by the end of our 7-course meal. The standout dishes were the fish curry (brilliant use of lemon grass!), the char kway teow, the roti prata and sambal octopus. Everything from the flavours to the presentation took me right back to the tropics of Southeast Asia. We got the teapot cocktails and they were both great. The pulau tea was surprisingly strong but the pineapple one was definitely a hit - be careful not to overindulge because it has a high alcohol content despite the sweetness! Overall, I was very pleased with my experience here. Will definitely be back the next time Im craving food from home!

Great introduction to Malaysian food.

Food is sooo good

The service, ambience and food are excellent! The slaw is a must try!

Fantastic little spot in Ossington. Ambience was chic, great service and hospitality. Food was exquisite. Definitely on the more expensive side but worth it. Dietary restrictions: Waiters emphasized that you can notify about dietary restrictions. Also mentioned on menus.

Outstanding plant based menu! One of our party was gluten free too and we all dined like Kings. The Feed Me tasting menu is definitely the way to go. Imaginative, favorable dishes in a lively, friendly atmosphere. This is a must try.

My husband and I ate at Soos tonight and chose the Feed Me tasting menu. This was our first time trying Malaysian style food, so we figured the tasting menu was our best option. We love tasting style dinners and our typical favourites are Indonesian and Indian. We felt the dishes were quite bland in comparison; not a ton of flavour. My husband s favourite were the sticky chilli chicken wings and my favourite was the slaw/peanut salad. It is a very busy spot! We didn t have a reservation, so we ended up eating at the bar. The chairs are very uncomfortable and it was SO hot in the restaurant, despite being a cool summer night outside tonight. The music was quite loud, so it was hard for my husband and I to even have a conversation. It was also really hard to hear the waiter explain what each course was. The wine was good, but $15 for a small glass seems steep. Our bill was over $190 for two tasting menu dinners + 3 drinks total and tip. The staff, however, were all very friendly and helpful.

If you want to try Malaysian food this is definetly the place to go. Tacos were really good and had a different flavor to them. Char kway teow was pretty good but nothing outstanding. The octopus was too fishy for our taste and the wings were good but again relatively normal. Food lacked a bit of depth of flavor especially considering the price.

The flavours are out of this world and so thoughtfully incorporated into each and every dish. Service was attentive, impeccable and predictive. Great wine list. In a city with countless options, I can t wait to come back to Soo s.

Their wild wings and the salad are truly delicious

Great experience! Came with a group of 10 with different ppl with varying dietary restrictions! The staff didn t skip a beat! We had the feed me option and they were amazing and very accommodating! Everyone loved the food and were stuffed by the end of it! Amazing and definitely would come back!

They have a good apps and dessert And the vibes in the restaurant so homey Food

Found 2 short curly hairs in my food was told maybe it was my hair but I have long straight hair

Food was very mediocre. All the dishes we got were pretty bland and absolutely no spice. Nice front street side patio though.

Had an incredible meal with my partner last night. We did the tasting menu and every dish was a hit. The servers were very friendly and attentive. Love this spot.

Delicious food.

I never thought the best chicken tacos Id ever have would be from a Malaysian place... Also the pork belly pancakes are incredible. If you can handle a bit of spice, I recommend getting the sambal chili oil on the side. I loved it so much I took a bottle home with me!

Great place, caring staff and over the top food. All added up to a very special night.

Been away for too long

Update! Indoor dining finally reopened and this was our first choice. Dinner was SPECTACULAR. Make a resi and go! Though we live in the east end, we often make the trek here in the west end. Malaysian street food brought inside, by the nicest owners. The food is spectacular. Every dish is a taste experience. They seamlessly accommodate dietary restrictions, even at the same table. Do the Feed Me option, where you get to sample their best dishes :) SO good!

My partner and I are big on finding vegan gems wherever we are. On our first valentine s together we experienced Fat Choi and fell in love with the creative plating and delicious array of Asian inspired goodies. They catered to allergies despite having the set menu. Our favourites on the menu include CHAR SIU BAO, and RED CHILI CAULI/BROCC. We re fans and have been back, and will continue to support this fabulous place. Vegetarian options: Fat Choi is the vegan menu, it s what I ve commented on above. I m sure the meaty treats are just as good based off the vegan fare. Dietary restrictions: Vegan, allium allergy

Soos was so good! Forgot to take photos, which is a shame since the photos on Google Maps dont do this place justice.

Had a horrible experience here. 1. The prosperity slaw tasted alright, but the portion was so small! $23 of vegetables and it was barely enough for 2 people 2. Im not sure if the cook accidentally dropped the salt, but the Char Kway Teow was SO SALTY!! We went to complain that was not edible and the response is on #3. 3. When we went to complain about the Char Kway Teow, the Caucasian waitress with Fringe hair told us the following. Sorry its just how the kitchen makes things.. When we asked if it could be re-made with less salt, she told us The kitchen is closed so its too late. When we asked if we could just remove it from the bill, she said Ugh its your fault for ordering it, you should have known it was going to be like that. 4. Ive had many Char Kway Teow and they were never THIS SALTY! On top of that the portion was disgustingly small. $24 for a small plate of noodles.. come on. 5. When we were given the bill, they charged us $24 for the prosperity slaw instead of $23. I had to point it out on the menu for them to fix the price. 6. No apologies from the waitresses on the mess ups at all. To the owner: I really hope you have a chat with the Caucasian waitress, as her service and response to the Salty Char Kway Teow was unacceptable.

Intimate and lively, the food here is just incredible. If you are adventurous, order the feed me where they simply bring different items to the table. The teapot cocktails are so much fun.

I really enjoyed this place, I did walk past it at first because it actually have to names the service was great! If you go ask for a margarita the young guy makes a great one The atmosphere is good outside seating Oh and the also have 2 menus one just for VEGANS!!! I think the Roti and Dahl is to die for the area is Little Italy in Toronto

You need to make reservations. Walk in diners have to sit at the bar because all their tables are reserved. They should do away with reservations and stick to walk ins.

Had the multi-course tasting menu, for a group of 4. Everything tasted great, and service was on-time.

I recommend ! We had an excellent meal, very welcoming waiters and good cuisine very good discovery

Great spot. We did the Fat Choi vegan feed me option. Great variety and we were stuffed by the end. Friendly, casual atmosphere. Staff were wonderful. Great tasting food with unique flavours. Creative spins on ingredients is always key in vegan dishes and they nail it. Craving the vegan char siu bao already. I also snuck in an order of the pepper prawns and they were incredible. Highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you have a mix of vegan and non-vegan in the group.

What an amazing find Soos was! Im a Malaysian and always looking for authentic local food in Toronto. Finally found the place! We had the Feed me option and every dish was mouth watering! Sambal, char kway teow, rendang... they were all so delicious. The presentation was just fantastic and our server (I wish I remembered her name) knew her dishes and made our experience better. We will recommend to our friends for sure!

Feed me was amazing.

Food is beyond expectation, we had a pescatarian tasting menu and the teapot cocktail. Amazing service. Will definitely come back.

Tried their plant based menu. I was a little disappointed because even though it had 6 dishes but there were no desserts. Few were good, few were average so not a big fan of their tasting menu. Next time I go I would rather just order a la carte.

Tasting menu was only $60 and I left feeling super full + satisfied. The charred noodles and the salad/slaw were 100/10 my two favourite dishes

Really mid tasting food, nothing special in my opinion and their « large plates » were relatively small. My 2 friends and I got 2 appetizers and 2 large plates to share and ended up going to another restaurant nearby since we weren t satisfied nor full from our meal. We had the roti and shrimp appetizers and it tasted fine but nothing that you can t acheive at home. Overall not a memorable experience and unlikely to come back nor recommend.

Great food, attentive service. The Char Kuay Teow is unreal. Would highly recommend for larger groups (reserve ahead of time), and go for the 60/70pp group shared menu it s loads of food. Fantastic atmosphere, and plenty of other shops and bars on Ossington nearby.

Excellent Food | Beautiful Location | Highly Recommended | One of The Best Restaurants in Toronto Detailed Review Below SOOS Toronto is a delightful restaurant with a truly fantastic back-story.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in Toronto, worthy of your patronage. Food/ Quality - 5/5 Location/ Ambiance - 5/5 Price (Value for Money) - 4/5 Service - 4/5 Others - 5/5 (Family-friendly)

The interior and light were amazing and the manager and server were very nice but rise noodles with shrimp were very salty.

Great food! The tasting menu for $60 a person is a great deal. Its six dishes with the perfect amount of food. Very delicious.

Great food and ambiance. We had the prata and some apps.

Fantastic food!!!

Had dinner with a couple friends and we tried their $60 tasting menu. They had a pandan tiramisu with toasted pistachios special for their dessert! Everything was very flavourful and we ended up getting 8 different dishes with the tasting menu (no dessert). Would recommend if you re in the area! Vegetarian options: Server let us know when we were seated that there were vegan options Dietary restrictions: Server asked right away if there were any

Very delicious, all the dishes has such good flavour and very unique

We had a great dinner at Soos yesterday. The Feed Me menu (6 items) did not disappoint. In particular, the Dahl & Roti, Kapitan chicken Tacos, Prosperity tossed salad were outstanding! Price was reasonable, great service, not surprised that restaurant was full. Thank you and highly recommended!

Excellent food

This is my favorite restaurant!! I had the vegan tasting menu and it was incredible. So many dishes that are complicated and nuanced. Service is spot on. I have never had a bad dish here. Vegetarian options: Vegan tasting menu

If you enjoy good food you should eat here.

Service was outstanding and the food was sensational. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted as good as it looked. Prosperity tossed slaw is to die for. Don t hesitate to treat yourself or loved one, its worth every penny.

Lady owner friendly and receptive to take out. Restaurant was quite full with the dinner crowd. The menu is different from the one one the website. I really wanted to order the char kway teow. They were surprisingly out of that. I ordered the beef rending, laksa dumpling and penang prawn. Nice but not quite as flavorful as you might expect in Malaysia / Singapore. Also lacking in heat.

Loved it! My girlfriend and I came here for a nicer weekend date. It was a quality experience. When you come, you have the choice of the standard Soos menu or the vegan Fat Choi menu. We opted to do the feed me option off the Fat Choi menu. This meant that for ~$55 each, we got a selection of dishes from the menu. We told our sever a couple of dishes we were eager to try, but the rest were up to the kitchen. It was amazing. We got a good mix of sweet, savory, saucy, and refreshing dishes. All of them were a great size to share between the two of us. So we were both full, and both got the sense that we really sampled the best of the menu. The ambience was nice, perfect for our date night. The staff was super friendly and helpful. You have to make a little walk down some stairs for the washrooms, but theyre clean, individual rooms. All in all, I highly recommend and will be back! Vegetarian options: Theres an entire vegan menu in addition to the standard one! Dietary restrictions: There are peanuts and nuts on the menu, but the servers are diligent to ask about your restrictions, and seem willing to accommodate!

The food is plenty, very delicious and wonderfully prepared.

Food is absolutely delicious here. We basically ordered the whole menu as we wanted to try every dish. Most notable plates were the pork belly pancake, the octopus, and the braised beef. Everything came out timely and our server was delightful!

Soos is delicious, unique, and fun. I had the pleasure of trying several dishes and my favourites were the noodles (think: Malaysian pad Thai) and pork belly. The only item I tried that Id recommend passing on is their slaw - what seemed to be a take on Lees signature Singaporean slaw was forgettable. Thankfully everything else was good, though!

Small, quiet spot with good food and drinks Dont find alot of Malaysian food but the meals were solid. Favorite definitely was the cod in a lemongrass soup, can drink that alone! Slaw was good, wish it had lime or something acidic but thats a personal preference The noodles entree was probably the least favorite of all. A bit too oily, too salty/soy sauce and just didnt do much for us Meals arent a big must eat but youll have a great meal

Very good Malaysian food. Lovely ambiance too.
