Urban House in Toronto

I had a fantastic time at Urban the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a spontaneous evening out. Hanah and Nancy were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

Good food good vibes Nancy is the best!!

Love the ladies ! Nancy jojo and Hannah are the best !! Such sweet hearts.

Love the food, prices, locals, highly recommend!

JoJo and Nancy are the best!

Was here for Mike Tyson fight vs Jake Paul, great atmosphere. Just lacked adequate seating but I suppose the event warranted why it was so busy.

Was in there tonight. Servers were drunk, people were fighting. I would literally go anywhere else around the area but here.

Love this place. Great food, music and staff. Nancy is our favourite

Great local spot, Pho is on point!

Absolutely excellent experience. Staff was nice (especially John the bartender), food was good, drinks on tap were fresh. Prices were reasonable. I highly recommend

Ive had their whole menu a few times. The food is always on point the energy is wicked at this local bar. Peter, Jojo, Hannah, Andrew, and the rest of the team are super cool to hang with. Amazing place to watch PPV sports and events.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT COMING HERE!!!... Imagine this: You walk in, place your order, and before you can say Is this place even legit? they ve got your money in a chokehold. Seriously, the first thing they do is make you pay, like they know what s coming next Ordered chicken? Well, good luck figuring out what part of the chicken it is because it s like they took random pieces, mashed them together, and said, Voilà! One chicken! The texture? Think rubbery jigsaw puzzle. But guess what? You can t complain because they ve already got your cash. It s like a culinary hostage situation no refunds, no remorse. The wings? Let s just say they tasted like they had a previous life in a freezer. Old, stale, and about as fresh as a three-day-old donut. Honestly, the only thing they seem to get right is the beer. But unless youre on a liquid diet, just do yourself a favor and steer clear. If you re feeling adventurous, try it out but don t say I didn t warn you.

Urban is a gem. From the quality of the food to the excellent service and inviting ambiance, it offers a dining experience that is hard to beat. I had their burger and it exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend. Food

A fine establishment. Always a chilled crowd and great little patio for people watching - food is top notch as well and very reasonable price point Jo Jo and Peter behind the bar are the heros queen east didnt know they needed

Service was decent enough and the price was good, unfortunately the food we got was pretty brutal - avoid the pad thai Probably an okay place to just get a drink

The pad thai here is fire! I can t speak for other people but this place is good!

Amazing food!! Amazing service!! Hidden gem in Riverside!! Bang for buck!! Food : 5/5 |

A real hidden gem. Amazing staff and really good value for money

Wonderful service! Food was surprisingly tasty as well.

Great vegan options! Tofu was great, so was the pad Thai. Only slight negative was that they didnt have coffee and Im the DD, but a very good experience!

Good place

Bartenders were great thank you Andrew for your great service

Hannah and Jojo were so friendly and delivered great service. Thanks to both of them for an extremely remarkable night!

Nice and cozy place. Very accomodating and respectful staff. Great food for the price. Would definitely come back.

My friends and I went to this place last night. We were a group of 10, and the place was jammed pack. Our host, Andrew, did a great job managing the crowd and the food was great for the price point. We had a pleasant time and will definitely go back!

Great food , great staff . Definitely Come back

Such a pretty interior and JoJo is absolutely amazing. Great prices too!

Ive been coming here for over a decade, including its previous location at Yonge and Dundonald. Jojo is Riverdales favorite Fairy Shot-Mother. She has huge energy and is always warm and sweet to all of her guests. The staff are always cool and kind. The food is excellent value, I usually grab the burger or curry noodles with beef. Drinks are very reasonably priced.Daily specials with drinks and entrees until 10 p.m.They are opening a karaoke room and dancefloor on the second story soon, something this part of town is totally lacking. so it should be lots of fun.

Great service, cold beer, and good food. Place is a little tight but not uncomfortable.

Awesome food and service, the pad Thai was delicious.

The curry pad Thai was amazing. They have a great deal on for a pint and any entree for $17!

Wow! What a great find in Leslieville. First time here tonight, they had a special for an entrée and pint for 18$. That deal would be good anywhere these days, but the quality of food was amazing! We had the curry pad Thai and curry chicken with rice, both outstanding. Kudos to chef and servers were great and attentive, good selection for drinks. Will absolutely be back. Forgot to mention the jerk wings - yum! Thanks

The music was awesome! They play some classic bangers. Food was even better, great ambience

You can get a pint here and talk hockey with the passionate hockey-loving bartenders. Ask them why there is a loonie taped to the wall. Five stars.

First time back since the Reno, thank you Andrew, are awesome!

We went before a concert at The Opera House last Saturday (May 6th 2023)across the street. Highly recommend, staff was super nice, food was amazing and you cant beat the price their special on Saturdays is 2 can dine for 45$, you each get a entree and a pitcher of beer and the portions were great! We were so full!

Came here with a friend before a concert. I had the pad thai with tofu. The portion was massive, the noodles were good but I really disliked the tofu. It was totally unseasoned and super oily... Im talking everytime I took a bite oil spilled out of the inside so I didnt eat much of it. The pad thai had nice flavours and the staff was super friendly! Also the ambiance was super cool and I really enjoyed the decor, also very close to the Opera House :)

I ordered dumplings and fried rice with shrimp. I absolutely loved dumplings but rice was just okay (portion was big though). Would recommend this place for a lunch!

Our Bartender Fiona was superb... well be back.

Very decent prices one of the best bars to get drinks in the east end and the reason its one of the only bars along with the Conrad that didnt shut down during the pandemic the staff are great always looking after coustermers joe joe is amazing always looking out for her coustermers and Peter is awesome too

This restaurant bar can be rented out for parties and birthday events. They have a great selection of cocktails, beverages, beers and liquors. I really enjoyed their Cesar s they were spicy, salty, and delicious with three olives. Thank you!

Holy cow, I went here on a whim the other week with my lady and was so blown away by the Curry Pad Thai that I m still thinking about it I didn t get my servers name but he was super attentive and accommodating! Will definitely be coming back! Thank you for the superb service 10/10!

Super cute/quaint bar, tucked in Leslieville, serving asian entrees, along with affordable drinks, till late, in a cozy space. Vegetarian options: Several options for main entrees

Amazing vegan pad thai!

The penne is amazing! Love the interior decor as well. Great local business Parking: Limited street parking. Park on a side street and walk in or take transit. Kid-friendliness: Its a bar/pub, not ideal for kids Wheelchair accessibility: No automatic doors and tight entryway

Cozy, neighbourhood vibe. Friendly staff. Good food. Open late. All the nice things.

I LOVE THIS SPOT!!!!! Drinks are reasonably priced, food is good, and rarely company is great! Jo-Jo is the absolute best!!!!!!!!

Great food, service and prices!

Their Asian dishes leave much to be desired. The Pho was bland. The curry pad thai came with chicken that tasted bland and not like real meat. It felt like chewing rubber. And the noodles themselves were lacking seasoning. The curry chicken was also not good. Maybe their burgers and sandwiches are better but would avoid ordering any of the asian or indian dishes at this place.

You really do get what you pay for. I was hoping for something great for breakfast and it just does not cut it. As for a neighborhood pub not my cup of tea.

Great vibes & atmosphere, super friendly staff

Great experience! Lovely service and a great selection of food at very affordable prices! Everything we order was fantastic, spring rolls, dumplings, burger, pasta, and udon!!! Would highly recommend their sangria! We will definitely be back!

I love this place

Andrew was the bartender and only front of house staff. He was awesome. Running off his feet on a busy night, but totally made our night. The food was really good and could be called Vietnamese pub food. I will totally go back when I get the chance.

The Irish guy that works there is nice. I like listening to him when I eat noodles. I miss the Irish guy!!

Nice place. Good service.

The Curry Pai Thai is bomb!

Great udon noodles. Fried tofu is really good too, especially with the stir fry sauce.

Too bad that the service is so bad. The place was almost empty; a table of 4 & 1 guy at the bar. I sat out front & ordered a beer during lunchtime & was going to order food when the multi-hued hair, pierced, & tattooed server came back. But she never did. After 10 minutes I went inside to see what the holdup was. She d been talking to the guy at the bar the whole time & had forgotten about my beer. When she saw me coming in she suddenly started to pour the beer. I told her to forget it & left. I ve been here a couple of times & the service has always been glacial. The owners need to fire a few people

Great prices and the staff are so so lovely. A great place to have in the neighbourhood.

Its my spot for a reason! Great people, food and drinks. Friends become Family before you know it! Keep up the great work Peter & Jojo

A big no if you are a vegetarian. Their fried dumplings appetizer was delicious. It s a nice place and the staff was really friendly.

Great place. Food great. Awesome service. Amanda and Heidi great bartenders. Always on the ball never wait for drinks

I have had the best time with the most professional bartender! Her name is Amanda, she is always courteous and prompt with her service, the bar tone is set with her great choices in music and the vibe of the bar seems so welcoming! If you go to the Urban Amanda is the only bartender to be served by! First class act who is a true professional! This lady is an asset to the Urban best time will be had by you and your guests! She is a 10 plus! Truly a people person who is the most professional I ve had the pleasure of being served by!

I come at lunch and Amanda is the most hardworking server Ive had the pleasure to have service me!!! 5 stars for Amandas amazing personality and service

If you like Java House. Youll love Urban House

About a week ago me and a friend decided to come by for a couple drinks and dinner after work. What we thought would be a good experience off the looks of the place we were fast to find out we were wrong..with almost nobody else in the place I cannot believe for 2 orders of wings and fries we would be waiting 40 minutes!! And not only the wait. The wings were so fat and chewy we actually decided to take the food to go to reheat ourselves at home. But hey at least the beer was cold kinda ?? WAY BETTER PLACES ON QUEEN STREET !!! Only reason I m giving this place any stars is because of our young blonde server. With her bubbly personality and sense of humour she s guaranteed the only reason this place stays open.

On Friday night 3 of us decided to come here for dinner before a party at the Opera House. The location was cozy and comfortable. The servers were polite and knowledgeable. When we opened the menus the first thing we noticed were the prices. They shocked us all in the most pleasant way; an entree was less than $15 and almost all the appetizers were under $10! We decided to order nachos with beef to share and oh my god did they deliver; the beef we expected to be ground was actually smaller cuts of beef and just nom nom nom!! As for our individual meals: we ordered the pork sandwich, a burger, and a BLT. All of us were basically licking our plates clean. The quality of the food was wayyyyy higher than we had anticipated with such low prices even the french fries are worth mentioning!! The wait from ordered to served was a little long but tbh the food made up for it!!

This place is SO SO good and I can not believe its not more popular than it is. With this pandemic, I had been seeking local businesses to support for take out. I found this place on Skip the Dishes and was surprised all the main dishes were around $12. They have some delicious Asian and also Canadian mains like crispy chow mein (my favourite), pad thai, fried rice, linguine, cheeseburgers, curry chicken and more. They also have amazing and cheap appetizers like avocado salad (another fav of mine), wonton soup, fried dumplings, spring rolls, french fries and more for under $10! If you order take out by calling, you get a discount too. I will definitely keep ordering delicious food from here ^_^

The first time I ate here I had the chicken schnitzel sandwich. It was a little greasy for me, but still delicious and very flavourful. Tonight I got the shrimp linguine in a rosé sauce and it s phenomenal. Super fresh, loaded with veggies and again very flavourful. The service here is down-to-earth and friendly and the prices are great.

The food and service here is great the prices for the food is right on. Big fan of the specials. I just wish there was more patio.

Best bar ever!!!!!!!! I had my birthday here last week and they made sure I had a fantastic evening.

Great food, one of the better places in this area

The food did not have much flavour and the it was so loud around us. The prices are really cheap but you get what you paid for

We have a good time here. The environment is very chill, very warm and cozy. We can talk and enjoy the food. The staffs are very friendly and the service is fast. Ah the price is so reasonable compared to other bar that we went. Will definitely come back.

We were pleasantly surprised by the genuine sense of spirit in this bar. The staff are warm and welcoming. The place filled up and had a refreshing vibe on a Saturday night. We had the wings, Thai soup, chicken curry pad Thai and linguini in rose sauce. Of all those items I would recommend the curry pad Thai (without the chicken). The food is probably a hit and miss, but hey its worth a try! If you want an unpretentious spot to hang out without standing in line, without guilt of hogging a table, and without breaking the bank, look no further.

Nice place and inexpensive food. Tastes good but service was a little slow.

Spent a great deal of time hanging out here! The service is great and a cool atmosphere

Have been coming here ever since it opened and Ive never been disappointed. The staff is amazing and love coming here. A perfect local!

Hardly worth the effort. loud to the point of being annoying.And very unpleasant. Many better options within a hundred metres that are miles above this place. Was told by the manager. to go to a library if I wanted something quieter Low end is an understatement here. Avoid and just go somewhere else, thank me later.

Cheap and delicious! Friendly staff too

I just learned that.... its been 2 years since they reopen. So glad I try to cleanup my phone and saw Urban House, checked if it reopened, and it did. This is one of my favorites resto, which I used to visit in Yonge and Dundoland (closed years ago due to the condominium construction). I am so happy they reopened. So I visited on Feb. 16th, amazing staff like Peter and Jojo are still here. Great service as always. The menu and choices, always great.

This place is the bees knees, great bartenders too, especially that Irish guy

Great find...good food and drinks at very decent prices...wow! Great service too!

Great staff, great prices. The manager Jojo is a delight and always great banter. I always love the vibe here. Ive found it quiet at times, but also loud with groups - the staff always provides great service whatever the context.

Reliable late kitchen. Beer selection and specials are good and usually features a meal deal of the day. Spicy Beef soup is very good!

Very nice servers ...nice place ...

Good average

I was a little dubious about how good the food would be under the current circumstances but am delighted to say that the freshness and quality are as good as ever. If you live within their in-house delivery area its worth ordering just to have Neil show up with his cheeky grin and Irish lilt, enough to make the most curmudgeonly of us smile!

Honestly I don t know where to start! This place is one of the best places for cheap eats and good times. The staff and owners are awesome people and know how to treat their customers. Food is always good, you cant go wrong with anything they have to offer!

Great spot for cheap food and drink in a lovely area.

Urban house is great! A cute, chill spot to come to with your friends. The customer service is everything you would ever want when having a night out at a bar/resto. A MUST MUST TRY are the wings, hot /honey garlic you will not be disappointed.

I love urban house! Cheap drinks and inexpensive good quality food. Jojo is such a gem one of a kind people here I cant get enough of the pan fried dumplings

Amazing place to visit for food and drinks. Customer service is on point. Really impressed with the measures in place with social distancing, staff wearing masks all the time. Really felt very comfortable when I visited this place. This is definitely my go to place again. Impeccable service, the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are well taken care off. Cant wait to go back there again. Kudos to the staff and management.

Good drink, good food and good vibe and very friendly

Nice atmosphere,really good food and good customer service I love everything about this place nice stuff

If prison served pad Thai it would definitely be 10x better than this. No mixed vegetables as advertised and the spaghetti noodles were clumped together. Ate 6 bites. Go to the mall food court instead. Not to mention none of the staff seemed concerned about Covid, overcrowding and no protection in place...

Amazing chicken linguine and fajita with guacamole! Very nice staff! New favourite, will be back often!!!!!!

These guys have better Pad Thai than most Thai restaurants around here. Great specials and perfect service

Really good beer/drink specials. The food is a great value.

Great little pub. Excellent food and value.

Crazy menu, all over the place with curries and shnitzel sandwiches and other toronto favourites. Drinks are regularly priced aka not overpriced. Great place for a beer and late night eats. The crowd seems like a lot of regulars.

Good wings, server was super nice, but no friggen blue cheese! Went to the pizza place next store and bought some.

Urban house is always a good time. Im too shy to talk to the asian tender but one day i will musk up the courage if she sees this then im single

Relaxed atmosphere, reasonably priced, good food.

Came to Toronto to visit a friend and we stumbled upon urban house. Super chill atmosphere, music and vibe was perfect. We were only going to stop in for one drink, but we instantly fell in love with our bartender Leigh! Not only is she the sweetest/coolest bartender I ve encountered in Toronto, I watched her give outstanding service to every person who entered the establishment no matter how busy it ended up getting her level of attentiveness and ability to connect to everyone throughout the night is why I took the time to write this review! Thank you Leigh and Urban house for making my experience in Toronto something to remember and another reason to come back again!

Fries way over cooked .... but atmosphere great ... awesome waitstaff very close to Opera house :)

good food, good service, was a little loud when we were there, but no big deal

It is mine and my wifes first time in Toronto and we found this place using Google. As soon as we walked in I knew it was going to be delicious. All of the menu options were very fairly priced and the server/bartender was amazing. I asked for a beer recommendation and after a few questions from him, he had me drinking a wonderful IPA. Also being out of towners, we had a couple of questions about how certain things work in the city and he was patient with us and explained all we needed to know. I want to give him a shout out but I didnt catch his name, only that he was from Ireland. Great job man!

Visiting my fiances brother while in Toronto. Ended up coming here three nights within the 5 nights I was in Toronto. Great vibe, great prices for Toronto. Awesome staff even though my buzzed fiance knocked stuff out of the bartenders hands. He is awesome. Did not get a chance to eat so not sure about the food. Again great vibe and atmosphere. If I lived here I would probably make this my go to bar.

Found this place by chance before a show at the opera house & were thrilled. Good food, good service, great daily specials, good beer assortment & nicely reasonable prices. Sorry we found it on our last night in town- would happily come back!

Jojo is amazing bartender.Loved the ambience,great staff and good food.

Have you ever walked into a restaurant/bar and just know it isnt going to be good? Well this isnt that place. First and to be fair I am not a bar person so I already have a chip on my shoulder before I even enter. To my surprise, one of the best breakfasts in the neighborhood. A bit dark a bit dingy however no disappointment in the food, quality or service. And walking distance from my home. I will be back.

They have some good beer on tap. I recommend the Amsterdam Boneshaker IPA. Their rum and coke was nothing to write home about. Their fried dumplings appetizer was delicious albeit a bit small. The fajitas was excellent. Crispy chow mein was a bit too oily. The waiters were attentive and nice.

Friendly atmosphere with chill positive vibes!

Reasonably priced food & drink. Tina is awesome - fast & efficient service which makes for a great spot when youre limited on time over a lunch hour. Thanks Tina! :)

Great prices and a lot of options. Great drink prices and good specials. Got the fried rice and a noodle dish and the portions were solid. Def a good spot

Have gone here 3 times in the past few days. The food is great and very reasonably priced and the same goes for the drink. Would highly recommend this place

Great service was there on Halloween night they have great food at a great price I cannot more highly recommend this restaurant/bar

Great cheap eats bar with great service

Came here for a meal with a date prior to a show at the opera house. Good atmosphere, reasonable drinks, and an amazing burger. Would recommend, and will be making this my go-to pre opera house dinner destination!

Really enjoyed it! Great deal on Saturday nights..2 entrees and a pitcher of beer for $30...they had great music playing and our cool waitress even let us request a late night playlist and she threw on some 90s hip hop. We will be back!

Best bar in East Toronto. Cant wait to go back!

Nice little find on our stroll in the hot sun. Very warm welcome and pleasant bartender. The ice cold pint of beer and delicious Shrimp Pad Thai was an incredible deal at $12.95! Well worth checking out.

Great place to eat and hang out. Awesome chicken wings and great service from Peter and the gang. Go there and you will have fun.

Great food great vibes great service but the server kept eating good my food and drinking my drinks. She also kept throwing thing at me but all in all great place

Excellent food for the price, VERY dimly lit though which could be an issue for those with visual impairments

One of my go to watering holes, great food, friendly staff

This is THE bar in Toronto. Nice selection of beers (e.g. Blanche de Chambly), decent wine. Variety of food options. Great staff. What makes this place standout is you get quality at unbeatable prices. They have a special everyday and they are all solid; pitcher of premium beer and nachos for $20??? Burger w/ fries and pint for $12??? This matters because in a town where you need to be a millionaire to buy a dog house, its nice to not be taken advantage of and be provided quality service, food and drinks. No, I dont work for these people. I just happen to appreciate them very much. NEVER CHANGE!!!

Good food better prices

Great food AMAZING prices!! I Always go bk to try something new or repart my faves!

Great place to drink and eat. Vietnamese style dishes with fresh daily specials I really enjoy their bbq chicken wings and the spicy chicken.. All dishes under $12 and alcohol even at regular prices tmatch most bars happy hour Open on Sunday super late rare for the-neighbourhood Most important is the staff. So sweet Tina jojo and that Irish guy forgot his name. Love urban house

Been there several times, each time is 5 star experience.

Delicious food and decent drink selection for an excellent price. Crispy chow mein was awesome, perfectly cooked chicken, and loaded with vegetables. The specials are an amazing value, especially for the area. Love the vibe of the place! Stopped by while visiting friends and wish we lived closer so we could come more often!

Great Staff

Firm favorite. Always have great music. Very relaxed. Good Thai food. Neil is the best barman in town. Buy him Jameson and hes a friend for life.

A boom-daddy-tastic bar. Great deals daily, especially on Thursday when its an entree and a beer (20oz) for about $12.

Decent food, good drink prices. Perfect before catching a show at the Opera House

great food in all. best bang for your buck. thai food is really good here. and the specials are great deals

Service and food very good.
