" I don't go to Toy's as often as I used to, but every time I do, I get the same feeling of nostalgia. The Korean-style fried rice with kimchi is one of my favorite dishes. It packs a punch of flavor and is always filling. The service is friendly, but it's also cash only—a detail that I sometimes forget, which has turned into a small hassle. Other than that, it's a solid option for those in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to visit Toy's, driven by all the reviews praising their tacos. I found them to be quite good, but nothing extraordinarily different from what I've had elsewhere. The service felt casual—but in a good way. I appreciate that they keep truest to their roots as a corner eatery, which adds to the charm. A fair experience, though I’d love to see a little more creativity in the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an impressive little restaurant! I was warmly greeted at the door, and the staff was attentive throughout my visit. I ordered the tacos, and they were wonderfully flavorful, packed tight with freshness. Afterward, I indulged in a slushie which was cool and delightful. Truly a gem that stands out amidst larger chains. I am looking forward to returning and trying more items on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Toy's Beef & Rice feels like a long-lost memory turned reality. The hot pepper steak is full of flavor and I've never been disappointed! However, the consistency of their fried rice has spurred mixed feelings for me lately; I used to love it but can't quite enjoy it as I once did. It's still a must-try for anyone visiting the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finding good food isn’t always easy, but Toy's has been a mainstay for me. Their prices are always reasonable, and the quality of the food keeps me coming back. While they do have some unusual items on the menu (like fried rice with shrimp), it's mostly about the tacos for me. Even with some changes over the years, the experience remains worthwhile for those who enjoy hearty, traditional food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Toy's has a timeless feel; I used to come here as a teenager with friends. Their tacos are my go-to! Delicious, fresh, and reasonably priced. Once, I did get a cheeseburger, which surprisingly held up quite well. The staff is energetic and helpful, which adds to the experience. Perfect for a quick stop or casual meet-up! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had my fair share of meals at Toy’s over the years, and I can confidently say the food is usually good, particularly for the price! Their tacos are, of course, the star! I unfortunately had a dry chicken sandwich on my last visit. The staff is fantastic, bringing a smile and welcoming me each time. I've learned to stick mostly with their signature offerings.
