I tasted truffles for the first time at your dad’s restaurant. Loved that he came to all the tables to say hello.
Yeah i have never felt like home in any restaurant excep on your dads restaurant you are bless to havw a dad like him appressiated him
Where is his dad restaurant? I am in Australia😂

Yo, as a former food industry worker. That Waitress absolutely killed it by memorizing the ingredients. She probably has EVERY ingredient for EVERY dish memorized. That is how you earn a nice tip right there.
I think that’s his gf and she said it’s her favorite salad of all time. So much that he flew to Montreal to deliver it to her
Yeah I used to be a server and she was excellent. It's a tough job.
@@yaush_yeah but she sounded lack luster
@@yaush_pretty sure it was the server explaining the dish and she mixed it. Have a good one, regardless
Jay is a huge beauty. Best service I've ever had you can really tell how much he cares
Eating family style is the way to go. I think it's more of an Asian culture thing because that's how I grew up. Whenever I go out with my American friends, they always end up ordering their own food, but when I'm out with my Asian friends we just order everything and it all gets shared. Cultures are so different, not just cuisine-wise but food customs as well. Like when I'm out with my American friends, I still ask if they want to try some of my food and they look at me like I'm crazy or something
💯
I was saying to my Mom. Asian culture, food is more like a social thing. Food is meant sharing. I told this to my American friends, in which they were surprised.
@@sarawinardi6745 I don’t think it’s just an Asian thing at all, it’s just how you are raised. I’m from the UK and this is always how my family order or make meals together. So much better that way
Not where im from ( america ) lol thats your opinion bc thats not true about all Americans at all
don't lump us all together some of us are adventurous :3 Tried everything my filipino girlfriend got me even chicken feet, which honestly the fish balls are way better. But yeah we selfish we like our own stuff so I can see that XD.
I volunteered about 6 months at Lee in 2010/2011, learned a lot from that time! It was cool to see Jonas and Brian on Iron Chef years later after working with them so long ago
Visited Lee in 2018 during my trip to Toronto from the uK and it is one of my fav restaurants to date - great service great food and great value for money. Hats off to Susur
You have an amazing life! Very cool to see you having your own ambitions and carrying on your parents’ love of food in your own way. Great content!!!
The slaw is hands down one of my favourite dishes I've ever had the pleasure of eating, Lee on king is amazing if you're in Toronto it's worth the visit.
Iron Chef tries Hello Fresh video!
that will be the sponsor down the toilet lol
@@silovikipuppetmaster7051 Not necessarily…maybe they could do it from the standpoint that he takes the hello fresh ingredients and adds 5 or less ingredients to show how you could turn a food service gourmet.
@@thisisshejazzy Big Susur is too authentic and pure. I can see him casually ripping their low grade ingredients haha
Better pay SUSUR LEE 8 FIGURES for that sponsorship =)
Omg yesss
Finally checked out Korean Village - amazing food and Jay made us feel at home 🙏
There is an Italian restaurant in Toronto called Mamma Martinos which is amazing. It isn’t a fancy place more of a casual family owned place but the food is great. I recommend the Penne Al Bruno if anyone goes!
Thank you for your videos, I would have just gone to any old restaurant last time I was in Toronto but instead I looked into where your dad's restaurant is and went there and had the most amazing meal of my life.
I live basically next to Country Style and man I'm so glad that place and Korean Village are still kicking. Killer Bee has been my favourite flavor @ NOB for years too. Great video.
Love this video, especially when you are talking about, and then going to, your father's restaurant. The Country Style anecdote is also hilarious. You do a great job man.
i truly love how humble and down to earth this dude is
Ahzimae zipbap really brings the taste of Korea. Genuinely love all dishes there. Not fancy at all but they really know how to cook! It’s near Yonge and finch
Yessir appreciate that plug for all these restaurants 🔥🔥
i love the story @ 6:44 it says a lot about you. stepped in and bridged a gap between different generations and help sort out a confusion with someone who wasnt asking, but needed guidance, which you also provided.
I used to live in Toronto and one of the best restaurants I’ve ever tried for lunch was Pow Wow Cafe. Native breakfast food. Mildred’s temple was amazing too. I can’t stop thinking about Pow Wow though
It's a bit far from downtown but Poong Moon in North York has the best Korean spicy noodles in the city. The beef brisket + seafood jjamppong is a must try if you like Korean food. The place next door Ahzimae ZipBap also has a soup called Busan Style Pork Soup which is incredible. My wife moved here from Korea a few years ago and we'll go to Christie often for convenience from downtown but the trek to Finch area is worth it for these dishes!
Bro I’m so happy your dad got a restaurant, I’ve been watching you for a few years now and I remember looking forward to your new videos and watching your dad make a 5 star meal with fast food
Got a restaurant? He's had one
It’s closed
your dad's slaw is insane I love it
I love korean cuisine too especially korean bbq with lots of sides and lots of greens to go with the meat. Lovely couple. Lovely vid
Man having watched your Brother's videos for many years it is crazy to see your evolution. From being Mute Bent-Lee to the TOP G Bent- Lee !
I’m glad you mentioned the honey on pizza, people must try
another fire honey main dish is the Jalepeno and Honey chicken sandwhich from PG clucks on College St.... hands down best chicken burger in toronto!
@@sharafkhan9333 im no where near toronto, but there is this pizza spot, they call it the Honey Banger . its amazing
Just had a pizza with honey on it yesterday. Goated for sure. 👍
The sweetness balances so nice with acidic tomatoes, I've never tried on pizza it but it sounds so good
Dude idk how to say this but I saw ur dad with a 22 year very feminine gay man at a bar.,, yikes
Totally agree on the pizza nova. And love the hospitality at korean village bbq, oldest korean restaurant in the city, owner always brought out these amazing frozen grapes dessert ❤
Jet, I love your content. Tbh, I one day just came across Levi’s stuff and started watching it but then he’s too much for me (definitely not in a bad way though cause I could see why he has followers). You’re just more mellow and down to earth which is very refreshing for a dude your age.
I grew up watching your dad on tv, and I was shocked to discover your two channels. Hilarious and still great food 😊. BUT I was certainly shocked to hear you grew up in Toronto as well!
Gotta check some of these restaurants now
Video quality is crazy - keep up the good work!
Man thanks for this vid, my friends and I always having trouble picking a place. Will def try these out
I can truly say this having a great father growing up, still work with him everyday till this day. My biggest regrets in life is not trying, he never told me he’s disappointed or made it seem like that at all. But as I get older I realize I am practically my dad and I can see things the way he does. So I can see the ways he tried to make me be a better person, I can see what failed, and I see that him never giving up on me Was the single reason I am who I am today. I failed at so many things, but he always gave me a chance. I’m embarrassed of failing now, I do my best in everything.
How do I tell him I want to kill myself
When I have everything
Love this style video! Please do more!
Yey been waiting for your resto recossss ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
The owner of Korean Village is such a nice dude. Love going there
I truly just hope that one day I can come to Toronto just to visit your dads Resturant, that’d be a dream come true! all the love and best wishes from Jordan 🇯🇴❤say hello to ur baba !! Have a lovely day.
Great that you support other restaurants!!! ❤
Hey, this brightened my day up - thanks!
The Singaporean Slaw looks sooo delicious. I’d love to visit Jay’s Restaurant. ..I love share appetizers as well. Sydnee looks so pretty with her glasses 🥰 I like ur hairstyle (sorry 2nd time I’ve mentioned it☺️)
i really appreciate this video bro. I visit toronto quite often from ottawa and always wanna eat some good food. i know i can trust your recommendations
Congratulations on 300k subscribers. So deserving!
Love getting blessed with a Tuesday jet video
It’s been a while since I’ve watched any of you or your brothers videos. Mutey Bent-Lee has come a long way lol.
Mac’s Pizza is a must have, their white slice is amazing!
If i ever make it to Canada. Absolutely gonna try these.
Hey Jet- I lived and cooked in Toronto back in the '90's at Chiado on College St. Your dad knows it pretty well, I think. I would love to see you do a video there!
Definitely coming to your dads restaurant when I'm in the city next!
Marked in downtown Toronto truly my fave restaurant and so unique I bring all my friends who visit me there and they’re always truly Impressed
Nice recs man, have to agree with u on burger drops it goes crazyyyyy. Some favs of mine gotta be koh lipe, badialis pizzeria, aloette, dumpling house, and roselles/le gourmand for some dessert :)
When this man critiques food I actually take it seriously because not everybody grew up with a chef dad.
Let’s go Jet, another banger video!
Nice. All the food looked amazing
This is right on time. I’ll be in Toronto in two weeks!
You are such an inspiration 🫶🏾
I just got back from toronto the other weekend. I wish I would have seen this video before I went. Great stuff man!
your video came at the right time!! going to toronto next week! and idk where to go lmao
Breakfast - avenue open concept
Lunch/dinner/late night - anything on Yonge and finch is bomb! My personal favourites are …
-chicken in the kitchen
-magic noodle
-petit potato
-MeNami udon & sake bar
- the famous owl of Minerva
- aijsen ramen
-hot star
-katsuya
If you go more down to like Scarborough area - midland specifically…
-flaming kitchen
-DM Chicken
Jheeze come through with the Mediterranean tan. And respects for shouting out Jay’s business, the story alone makes me want to try it out when I’m next in Toronto
Lee's is hands down best restaurant I've ever been to! Slaw is everything!!!!!!!
Good call on the eggs benedict, also one of my fav's, can't beat that hollandaise sauce! I think it's me second fav though as my main fav is a nice omelet with cheese and veggies
Like you said I used to think honey on pizza was weird af but it’s so fire, deffinelty worth trying if you haven’t
that editing for the Singaporean style slaw was just top class sir
Some of my favourite Toronto restaurants are, hanmoto, Seoul shakers/ shakers Club, gushi, macs pizza, Aloette, grandma loves you, bar isabel, katsuya, miku and DAM sandwiches
I’ve watched many of your video but I never knew you were from TO and that your dad’s restaurant is there. I’m in Ottawa and will definitely come visit this summer!!
That pizza actually looks sooo good wish that chain was up here in edmonton. I’d say a very light amount of honey on it would be my order request for sure. I highly recommend Korean food too, the more authentic and less westernized the better tasting that goes for 90% of Asian country originating foods, menus that barely have english on them the better it is.
Your dad should do Hello Fresh Gourmet!
Was wondering when this sponsorship would finally come 😂
ur an amazing content creator Keep it up!!
I live near Bellwoods and I'm big into a lot of the restaurants you mentioned Jet, if you wanna know some other good ones here are my favourites (apart from some you already listed)
Arabesque (shish kebab + arabesque coffee)
Peppers (honestly everything)
Superpoint slice (I'm sure you've already had it)
Sugo
Donnas (roast beef sandwich)
Jumbo empanada (cheese, beef, extra salsa)
Logas corner (beef/pork plus pickled onions)
Bitandos (panzerotti + sauce)
Really need to try this new place called Shizuku Omakase in Scarborough. The head chef's got fresh ideas and flavor profiles. I think you'll really enjoy it.
i loved this one
I'm from the States, but have family in Mississauga, ON - Pre covid we'd visit 2-3 times a year. MUST visit every time we visit is Sake Sushi - in Woodbrige ON. A little bit of a drive, but well worth it, in my opinion. Love the content and the videos!
I've absolutely loved this vlog. Jet you need to do more of these reals. Don't get me wrong I love your dad. But I also like your individual stuff. Love you Jet. From Kenny
Woo Sid collab! Love the video Jed I mean Jet 🤣. Welcome back home friend
Loving the strawberry, Trinity, and Mewt
9:20 hundo percent agree 😄, pizza nova is like the happy in-between of pizza pizza and pizza hut
I rarely go to Toronto but I really love going to Maker Pizza when Im in town
You are extremely lucky to have a Dad like yours ❤
looks fire!!!
Singapore slaw is easily the best salad in the world. So delicious. I usually get it with a piece of salmon from Kid Lee when I am in Toronto.
Hey bro! Whats your camera?
Canadians cannot eat a slice of pizza without dipping it in something lol, love you guys
We got literally the worst type of pizzas here. I don't get what is wrong the Arabs and indians always need to carb load every pizza with everything. Legit the best steak and best pizza I ever had was outside of this whack ass country. Look up Julia pizza in Bogota, Colombia. I don't get how a 3rd world country can make better pizza and steak than these Arab and Indian pizzas. Wish the Italians and pepple that put work in made better stuff but the older generation moved on.
Love your vlogs my G
I’m heading to Toronto for the first time next week and was wondering where the good food spots were. appreciate this!
I would check out Levis Toronto cheap eats. He put on a lot of local spots
@@adrianvaladez7816 will do, good looks!
The last place was heartwarming ❤️
Wuddup man - first time watching your vids this week and commenting - had no idea you were in the area.. shout out to your dad! loved watching him when I was younger... your dad and Robert Rainford were two of my favorite chefs growin up.
Do you guys eat any middle eastern food? There's a gem of a restaurant near Square One I think you need to feature!!
Lee is the best!!!!
omg the killer bee,,,,,, If i had one of those and one of the salads from his dad's restaurant i would be in heaven
Hey Jet... grew up on Bellwoods St. and I haven't been downtown in years (maybe more then 15 - 20 years). I have to make an effort and try some of these spots. Thx for video. :)
LOVED THIS VIDEO BRO
Nice video! Been watching a couple of your videos since it popped up in the CZcams recommendations. I am from Singapore and I was a little surprised when I saw the Singaporean style slaw. Well, at least, it looks more authentic than "Singapore noodles" 😅 (which we rarely find in Singapore, except maybe xing zhou bee hoon 星州米粉). The Singaporean style slaw reminds a little of Yusheng 鱼生, which is a salad served with raw fish (seafood, abalone slices) during Chinese New Year. It is a fun salad that is tossed with everyone pitching in and saying well wishes that each ingredient is supposed to represent (e.g. fish 年年有余, pomelo 大吉大利, plum sauce 甜甜蜜蜜).
Running a restaurant (or any small business) is hard work, so I hope that business is back to normal for everyone.
Try Gyubee Japanese BBQ. I’ve been to many Asian bbq but I think it’s the best one in Toronto. Also congee queen is coming to downtown, amazing Chinese food the turnip cakes is a must
I always loved the shoes the waitress wore no heals no toes and laces. My Dad used to take me to the Brunswick House and then schnitzel, yum! We live in Riverdale and love the food and vibe at Mimi's great. Vietnamese and we have been taking our kids there since they needed boosters now 26 and 30. They are well loved and I enjoy seeing other locals there!
riversale
My favorite pizza places are farm truck and Mellow mushroom I highly recommend if you’re ever in the northern Virginia area Jet!
Country style is so good
I love Dimmi so much. Favourite Italian in Toronto
Impressed Sid, the salad is so complex!
King's Landing is probably my favourite restaurant. Great value and the quality is better than most restaurants downtown.
Since you mentioned you aren't too familiar with Hungarian cuisine, have you tried Hungarian goulash and potato pancakes? One of my favorite meals ever combined the two in one dish and it was simply fantastic comfort food.
Best dad ...
Best cook
If there are truly a ton of restaurants then make a multi episode series you release over time.
Some obvious downtown gems are Swatow and King's Noodle, but if you're willing to go to a bit further out Congee Queen and Wonton Chai is amazing!
