My wife and I have been regular customers at New Treasure for at least twenty! years. The previous owner and her husband were wonderful, talented in the kitchen, friendly, polite, classy and generous restauranteurs. Wow has this joint changed.! I visited earlier today to buy...several dishes to go. When I finally made it down the steep and DANGEROUSLY greasy stairs to the cellar take-out counter, a troll-like figure finally emerged and stood about 18 feet back from the front counter which was shielded by thick plastic sheeting rising just above the various packets and pouches of sauces - sizes and OBSCURE brands not usually distributed to customers at this type of restaurant....including expired caesar salad dressing, brown ketchup packs, BBQ sauce? crystalized plum sauce pouches, discolored sticky soy sauce packs etc. Very impressive.!!! In any event, back to the lady/troll who was impossible to understand while speaking softly through a face diaper - her mousy voice travelling about 18 feet and then hitting a thick hanging plastic sheet - impossible to hear, impossible to understand as she simply stood her ground -- back in the dingy, dusty smelly relic of a dining room. A couple of cheap ceiling mounted dollar store light bulbs cast an eerie shadow on her and the crumpled basic menu which sat on a bridge table - difficult to read due to finger smudges and creases caused by thousands of people handling it since 2009 -- along with scribbled price changes throughout. Classy joint overall. Fundamental questions directed to the meek quasi hidden troll lady could not be answered. Just a shrug. Hysterical !!! Clearly, she did not care about losing my repeat $100.00 cash business. Okay, Bye Bye Flaky. Rod Serling ( Twilight Zone ) would adore this place. You may too - buy a beer or cooler at the LCBO near Yonge Street and climb down to the crypt for a great laugh! Enjoy...but keep your money for much more civilized/tastier restaurants stretched all the way to Spadina - then, north and south between College Street and Queen Street.
