Reviewed by Toronto LifeSino-fied Beatles instrumentals waft through a high-ceilinged room tucked inside Market Village. Opt for the special menu highlighting carefully made apps, casseroles, seafood and modernized Cantonese cooking that’s served with attentive aplomb. Worthy cold starters include tender slices of five-spice beef shank and pork knuckle; duck tongues, however, are rubbery and bland. The chef excels at casseroles: skinless chunks of soft eggplant and minced pork in chili sauce; and soft taro, chicken and preserved duck in coconut gravy. Mains $12–$24.
