Kome Shokudo Japanese Comfort Food located at 1383 16th Ave, Unit #2 in Richmond Hill

June 23, 2018: I’m still a sucker for trying new restaurants although I’ve significantly been eating out less these days (yay). When driving on 16th Avenue near Leslie, I noticed that a new restaurant had popped up. Kome Shukudo Japanese Comfort Food replaces the previous Zoup! salad and soup restaurant.

Pho Quinn Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine located at 5284 Highway 7 E, Unit 1 in Markham

June 12, 2018: I went to this Vietnamese restaurant that I had never been to before and I was blown away with how delicious the food was! It was unassuming from the storefront and although it included the word “authentic” in its name, it never actually means the truth when it comes to businesses so my expectations were low from the beginning.
