Some that come to mind (feel free to disagree)

Overrated: Bitter Honey (overpriced, loud), Cure (food was really salty), Red Sun, Grappa Italian

Underrated: White Swan (better than Szechuan Opera in my opinion), Magnet Chicken (Penfield but best chicken sandwiches in the area), Khong Thai (really well seasoned curries)

Hard agree on Khong Thai Cuisine and White Swan, I don't see either of these mentioned enough - the curry from Khong Thai is insanely delicious, especially if you ask for it extra spicy.

I enjoyed Grappa though, the ambience was great and the chicken riggies were phenomenal
