The stylish interior reflects R&D’s dualistic nature: open & abuzz with energy while preserving an intimate atmosphere.
At R&D, eastern dishes meet western style in the form of modern Chinese sharing plates, where classic ingredients are given a vanguard treatment.

Super delicious food, great service and vibe. Will definitely be returning.
NOthing but great things to say. They are doing it right
I really enjoyed that it wasn’t basic Chinese-restaurant food. It was pretty hip (and noisy), but then again, my visit was on a Friday evening.
Beautiful design in the heart of Chinatown supercool
Fabulous. Innovative menu and superb flavour and presentation. Great friendly service. Love the decor too. Will go back again and again.
I had a good experience. The food and service was great

It took us six years after Eric won the first MasterChef Canada competition to finally make it to his restaurant. We ordered the marrow, fried chicken and fried rice which was very filling for the two of us. Each dish was so flavorful. We were able to scan a QR code on the table to view the menus on our phone. The staff were all great about providing a safe dining experience with excellent service. Will definitely come back again to try some of their other dishes.
Excellent service, the servers know the menu really well and make great suggestions. Food is all to share which is fun for a date – we had the dim sum buns (amazing!), bone marrow, low mien and bok choy side, all very good but I’d say dim sum and bone marrow were our Favorite. Cocktails are also incredible, if you can make it there before 7 for the $7 special. Worth it to pay full price though, very nice ingredients. I think our servers name was Ray…he was very attentive and knowledgeable. Thank you!

Chef was amazing, it is obvious that he has taken a lot of thought into his food, a rareity for restaurants in Toronto.
Loved the food! Loved the decor! The service was excellent! We’ll be back!
good food and service. The duck was well made as well.
Great as always! The fried chicken protein content was lower than expected but still great!
It was awesome. Eric Chong even served us personally!
