New Ho King isn't "good" Chinese food. It's very greasy and salty and fattening, which makes people think it's good, and it's open really late and it's really really cheap.
But if you want really good Chinese food you shouldn't go there... since I'm not Chinese I wouldn't know the best place.
If you want really good Thai food I can answer that
- Thai Chili on Queen St
- Green Mango on Yonge St
- the "trendiest" spots are Salad King on Dundas/Yonge and Spring Rolls on Yonge
I like Baldwin St which has like 40 small restaurants all along a street. My favourite is an Indian place there.
I'm not really thinking about hip, I'm just thinking about what tastes good here.
