review: Kom Jug Restaurant

komjug.jpg

Mega-cheap: $7.20 including tax for 2 people. We had a bowl of wonton noodle soup (large, with 5-6 flavourful wontons) and a bowl of thousand year old egg and salted pork congee (large, lots of meat and egg)
Decor: horrifically ghetto.
Food: mighty tasty Chinese comfort food.
The rather unfortunately named Kom Jug makes me giggle every time I see or hear it. According to Mom, it actually means "Golden Duke", a rather majestic name. It's also not pronounced like in English.

From Toronto.com:
Neighbors, budget-conscious students and lucky passersby know they can get an inexpensive, no-frills, nutritious meal at Kom Jug. Specials are written on day-glo bristol board, and the menu prices are charmingly Liquid-Papered and changed to reflect inflation. Small in size, and made smaller by the huge red Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling, the restaurant is cozy, especially in winter, when a steaming bowl of noodles topped with delicious bbq pork or duck does the trick. It's not licensed for liquor and be forewarned: the basement washrooms aren't for the fainthearted.

the basement washrooms aren't for the fainthearted.

I have to ask. Did you go to the basement??

I've been. Washrooms are pretty bad. Not really DIRTY per se, just not quite finished.
