Re: Best places for various Jamaican foods in Toronto?
as sue mentioned, you will not find uber spicy food in the US or Canada, the shops open on a daily basis to make money, so the food is going to be modified to suit everyone.

Re: Best places for various Jamaican foods in Toronto?
I went to Wong's to check, and it closed. I spoke with a man there and he said that it is not going to reopen, which is too bad, because that's one more closed Jamaican business on Bathurst.
Thank you to the poster who suggested Royal Caribbean on St. Clair. I headed there and tried the brown stew snapper and it was excellent (and spicy), and the woman working was very nice and sociable. I'll return to that one.

The best one I don't have an address for, but have often gone there late -late at night (upstairs in private apartment on Weston Road not too far from King Shines)... not a regular restaurant, but MissLady has the absolute BEST food possible - and excellent prices (she'll even sell you a beer or two if thirsty)Comment
