Ottawa + Montreal bro, not Toronto. But I know Toronto very well. I have been to pacific mall many times too....in Markham. Go with my canto buddies whenever im down there....good eatin for sure.
In Ottawa theres lots of good mom and pop style pho eateries....better than the ones I found in Toronto....but Chinese and Indian food is superior in Toronto by far. Its coz there is a large Viet presence here traditionally % wise, the "China town" is mostly vietnamese actually hehe.
Where you at in the US? Or you in Japan?
Its probably changed a lot since i was last there, buddy. The last time i was in Toronto was back in 2007 for a cross country drive (drove with buddies to Niagra falls then went to GTA). Yea surprisingly there's lots of Asians in Toronto ! Like a mix and mash of all kinds lol. Never been to Ottawa tho, is it nice there ? Definitely one place to visit someday.
Im living in NJ (south jersey, close to Philadelphia). I travel to Japan 2-3 times a month tho.
So you south Indian or North Indian? Hahaha i know there is a taste difference between the two groups eh?
