Asian Gourmet

What is Asian Gourmet? Located at 1265 Military Trail inside the University of Toronto Scarborough campus, Asian Gourmet is a high-volume quick-service counter specializing in homestyle Chinese and Asian classics. Rooted in traditional campus takeout culture, the setup focuses on fast turnaround, hot wok cooking, and generous portions. Seating is strictly casual food-court style, making it a reliable pit stop for solo diners and study groups grabbing a quick bite between lectures.

Asian Gourmet Menu & What to Order Ordering revolves around the customizable 'Make Your Own Combo', which pairs two hearty proteins—such as savory Asian grilled chicken or tender beef—and a vegetable over a mountain of fried rice or stir-fried noodles. The wok-tossed Singapore noodles carry a welcome kick of curry spice and char, while the made-to-order noodle soups provide solid comfort on brisk Scarborough afternoons. Wash down the carb-heavy plates with house soy milk or a fresh watermelon juice when available.

Know Before You Go Expect purely walk-in service with brisk counter ordering, though queues swell predictably during the standard class changeover rush between noon and 1:30 p.m. Operating hours are strictly tied to campus life, closing early on Friday evenings and shuttering entirely on weekends. Parking is limited to paid UTSC visitor lots, so taking Scarborough transit along Military Trail is the easiest way to arrive.
