R&D Spadina is a bold and modern restaurant located in the heart of Toronto's iconic Chinatown. It offers a unique blend of modern Canadian and Asian cuisine, including dim sum, crafted by celebrity chefs Eric Chong and Alvin Leung.
Customers generally find the food yummy, with exceptional dishes like fried rice, duck, scallops ceviche, charsiu bun, lamb spiducci, and Khao Soi. Presentation is often praised. However, some dishes can be overly salty, and desserts have received mixed reviews. Service is consistently described as great, friendly, and professional, with a chill vibe and pleasant decor. Some seasonal menus, like Summerlicious, have been met with disappointment regarding specific dish quality.
R&D Spadina is a collaboration between Eric Chong, winner of MasterChef Canada Season 1, and 'Demon Chef' Alvin Leung, known for his innovative culinary approach. The restaurant aims to offer a unique dining experience that blends traditional Asian flavors with contemporary Canadian influences.
The restaurant operates Wednesday through Sunday. It is a popular spot for dinner, and dim sum offerings suggest it's also suitable for lunch or brunch. Peking duck requires 24-hour advance notice.
