Toronto restaurants part 4

It's been a while since I updated restaurants, but here goes.

Made in China on Yonge, south of Gerrard, has okay, cheap Chinese food.

Ginger 2 on Yonge, north of Gerrard, has okay, cheap Vietnamese food.

Commensal on Elm and Bay is vegetarian and is cafeteria style. You get a tray (this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet... did you dry these in a rainforest?) and a plate and it's a buffet, so you go along and pick as much as you like from the little metal bins and you pay by weight at the end. Not really cheap for a filling meal. I also don't like food that pretends to be other food. If you don't eat chicken, don't make your tofu look like chicken. If you want something that tastes like, and has the texture of, chicken, eat chicken. I like eating vegetarian, but I don't live in a tofu fantasy.

Spring Rolls on Front and Market has good, cheap Thai food. There are quite a few locations, so I don't know if they're all as good.

Hot House Cafe on Church and Front is decent and reasonably priced. Lots of pasta dishes and a few other entrees. I've heard that it has a good Sunday buffet, so we may have to go back for that.
