Datsun

The place is nice and themed like a lounge. However, the place, as the menu, is a little too hipster. Although the service was good, that is as far as the good points of the restaurant go. They say they serve Asian food, but there is absolutely nothing Asian about it. Not only is the food white washed, the portions are way too small for what you're paying. If you are hoping to have a nice dinner, get out of the restaurant and try anywhere else on Elgin Street.

Craft cocktails and an Asian inspired menu. Overall the staff tried to please. The menu was good but didn't bat 1.000. Loud music. The food was well executed but not all inspired and some cocktails were phenomenal but others fell flat. I think a tasting menu would be a good way to go where the chef shows off some favourites. Be prepared to spend some dollars. I was told great things about the mini donuts but for a place that uses the deep fryer for so many other dishes the mini donuts were cold?? That disappointed me the most.

Very great drinks and nice service! The food is a hit or miss! The cauliflower was really good crunchy and unique but the pork belly could use a bit of improvement! The pandan noodles was alright, lots of interesting food to try! The atmosphere is really fun and relax, busy and cozy! They have lots of cool decor to look at and an outside patio to sit at in the warmer months. All the drinks have unique taste and flavours and has the right amount of alcohol! I really enjoyed it a lot !

Went here on a Saturday evening. Quite a lively atmosphere and good vibes. The service was prompt and quick. Ordered the crispy chicken ramen which was really good! A friend ordered a burger dish which we felt the portion was a bit on the smaller side. But overall good place.

The food at Datsun was AMAZING. Will definitely be back! Edit: Went back recently for the fourth time and the prices have gone way up. I used to love the steamed buns that were previously two for either $10 or $12 (can't remember which) but now they are $12 EACH. I can't justify paying that kind of money for a two-bite steamed bun. So sad because I loved this restaurant before but can't justify the cost at this point.
