In their words

Short excerpts, each linked to the full comment on Reddit.

• “I find the chow mein way too salty. I couldn't eat it after a few bites. I like the Trini mac pie.”

• “as good or better than I remember....The Whole Shebang.”

• “I find it hilarious that the suggestions so far are sides. That says a lot about the food.”

• “Really great foods there, with fun combinations of flavours and ingredients.”

• “consider patois for a very Toronto fusion of Chinese Canadian (with very solid jerk chicken)”

• “Everything flavour wise is delicious. Portion wise…. I was offended by the size of those Jamaican patties….”

• “The port belly in their jerk pork belly yakisoba dish is like top 5 things I’ve ever eaten.”

• “First time I went was great, same year they opened. But after that I haven't been impressed and felt I was being ripped off.”

• “The calamari and fried chicken were both pretty good but my favourite dish ended up being the Izakaya shrimp pasta”

• “10 minute walk north to Dundas and La Palma and patois are good.”

• “It was amazing years back.. service + food went downhill. But the French toast slaps lol”

• “I always suggest Patois to people visiting. I don't think there's anywhere else in the world you can get Jamacian/Chineese fusion food.”
