Food was exquisite, no flavour was overpowering except lobster taco dish which the jalepeno was too strong in the end. Very very balanced with subtle and unique flavours in the right quantity to make an incredible dining experience. Very well calculated and dishes that were well put together and presented very nicely. Hats off to the chef.9/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was superb! ServiceFood was superb!

Can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes!5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMExceeded expectationsHaving had memorable meals at Lee and Susur, we had very high expectations prior to our meal. Wow. The bento special box gave us a perfect sampling of the range and depth of prep for a variety of dishes. We were blown away by the flavours! The top quality service and ambiance made it an even better, and truly memorable night.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a good timeTried the seafood tasting menu and it lived up to its expectations.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Asian fusionSecond time at Bent. Tried the special seafood tasting menu which allowed us to sample a good variety of seafood plates. All were unique and interesting flavours but the tartare and ceviche dishes were our favourites. The service was good and the ambience was very energetic with a loud and trendy crowd. Dessert was a bit of a let down.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMYum!The food was fantastic. The waiters were friendly and fast. The dishes are inventive, delicious exotic taste and visually beautiful. The noise options in the mandatory only go as high as energetic, an adjective that has a positive ring. For me the noise level was a bit much.
All in all this is a wonderful place for a celebratory meal.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food and service are amazing.The food and service are amazing.

Our server always recommends the right amount of food and will tell you if you've ordered too much. That's great, because it leaves more room and money for cocktails, which are amazing! Plus we got to meet Susur this time :)5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMSusur Lee Hits a Home Run!Susur Lee's latest restaurant is a hit. The food is outstanding, location a neighbourhood gem and a great gathering place. The service was outstanding. Well done!5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMHighly RecommendI had the special seafood tasting for 2 at Bent and it was fantastic. We started with the lime coconut curry shrimp soup. It had a hint of spice and was the perfect starter. We also had the oyster sake shots with lemongrass, shallots and marinated salmon roe. The taste of the roe at the end of the shot was spectacular. The tuna and watermelon ceviche was amazing, as was the spicy peruvian style ceviche. My favourite part was definitely the lobster tacos, with were garnished with charred onion tomato salsa, chipotle, and avodcado in a taro taco shell. A chilled bottle of sake complimented the meal perfectly. The menu was clearly designed by Susur. The service was fantastic and the ambiance was warm and spacious for a Dundas West restaurant.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAnniversaryIt was an absolute pleasure! Great way for my wife and me to spend our anniversary. I'm very glad I had mentioned the occasion as, along with a complimentary dessert, they brought a plate with rich chocolate spelling out 'Happy Anniversary!' It was a great touch! Definitely a happening place!5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMBent is my favourite spotBent is my favourite spot in Toronto! Try the coconut shrimp soup!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of Susur Lee's best meals.My wife and I had a delicious meal that was delivered with informative and friendly service in a beautiful, bright room. The overall experience was very impressive. The meal started with some premium Sake. The waiter explained the ins and outs of Sake and help us make a moderately priced selection, which was absolutely delicious. The highlight of the meal was the peruvian ceviche. The flavours were fresh and complex with a sharp bite and wonderful spiciness. The seafood and fish were equally fresh and prepared perfectly. A truly memorable dish. The sashimi tasting dish was equally fresh and delicious.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMMy girlfriend and I went toMy girlfriend and I went to Bent for her belated birthday dinner as it was the Toronto restaurant that she most wanted to visit. The quality of food and attention to detail was top notch as advertised. We were even pleasantly surprised with a short conversation with Susur Lee who was gracious enough to send over a little birthday treat.
The servers were all very polite and efficient. It was a delightful experience overall.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMPhenomenalExcellent experience, all around. Advice to new diners: put yourself in the hands of the chef and order the chef's selection. It turned out to be the perfect amount of really delicious food. Hip, laid-back vibe.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AM- shrimp soup is excellent
