Best Take-away Restaurants In Toronto Near Me

4worldlovers: Picture it: 1981. Raiders of the Lost Ark is a box office hit. Olivia Newton-John is getting “Physical” on the FM dial. And thanks to Jane Fonda and the fitness craze sweeping the continent, salads are allll the rage. On a quiet day on Gould Street in Toronto, a King is born.

Enter three friends who take over the floundering salad restaurant with two things in mind: Thai food and Peameal Bacon Sandwiches.

In a time when alt-rock was still alt-rock and Game Boys were the hot new gadget, the three friends decided they wanted to travel the globe and needed someone else to take over their kingdom. Along came two brave entrepreneurs named Ernie & Linda, who saw potential in this dark kingdom (it was dark because it needed new lights).

Ernie & Linda, who had never worked in a restaurant before, began to transform the kingdom into the Thai utopia we know and love today. Changes included upgrading to a slightly less horrible PA system, importing and perfecting traditional Thai recipes, and painting the walls bright pink.

After perfecting favourite dishes like their homemade curries, Evil Jungle Prince and their legendary Phud Thai, and finally giving up on a PA system, Ernie and Linda had found a new recipe for success: award-wining interior design and more people to deliver their friendly service. They also discovered they had a second floor and used it to open a second concept, “Linda Restaurant”, with a fancier menu.

Disaster strikes! A wall on the exterior of the building begins to collapse causing the kingdom to close suddenly for safety reasons. Several months later, a five-alarm fire consumed the entire building Salad King once called home. The future of the kingdom was dire, and the people mourned.

Finally, after over 8 months of silence and uncertainty, Ernie and Linda announced the return of Salad King, and the people rejoiced. Perched on a throne high above Yonge Street, mere steps from the former location, the new Salad King was bigger, bolder, and tastier than ever before.

Thanks to the ongoing support of the kingdom, Salad King hosted over 1000 guests per day. Feeding a mix of students from the neighbouring Ryerson University campus, shoppers from bustling Yonge Street, business people from nearby offices, and fans from across the globe. It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since Ernie and Linda took over. So we celebrated by starting up a food truck for the summer to bring Salad King food all to our fans all over Toronto.

4worldlovers:
We take seafood seriously; so much so we insist on importing it ourselves! Our Federal Import Licenses allow our guests to enjoy the freshest Oysters, Lobsters, King Crab, Halibut, Salmon, Haddock, Arctic Char, Walleye, and many other special catches all carefully prepared for the discriminating palate.

Young oysters float freely through the ocean until they attach themselves to a suitable hard surface to grow up. Once attached they never move again.


Oysters have the best character when grown in areas where salt and fresh water mix together.

Most oysters grow about an inch a year and are typically harvested when they reach a length of three inches.

Oysters are very low in calories and rich in vitamin B12, iron, zinc and copper. So enjoy them guilt-free!
