Interesting, Big Smoke is losing a few A-list mall spots. They're gone from The Eaton Centre. That surprised me, I thought they did good traffic and had a decent product.
Manchu Wok has never been particularly good, but they've also been shrinking rapidly losing mall spots to other vendors.
Big Smoke at least has a some material number of non-mall locations for now..........but Manchu-Wok...........I'm not so sure they're around in 2 years.

They were very much overpriced like alot of artisan burger places.
I went there a few times but honestly it wasn't anything to write home about. Burgers Priest is better.

Less than double the price of McDs which is completely inedible drek so far as I'm concerned.......... I didn't find the price all that excessive.
I like BP too; but it's a different animal. BP's burgers are all done on flat-top, not a grill.
I really like that smokey grilled flavour on a burger.
Though every single burger place needs to repeat the mantra "We will not serve under-ripe tomato, not ever"

Did they ever carry menswear in the past? I seem to remember buying something at the Eaton Centre Aritzia eons ago and no, I don't do drag.
