After having lived in China for six years and pretty much eating the best food in the world, I have to say that both Jason Shubert and Paul Harding have created somewhat of a miracle in London, Ontario. It is the only restaurant I have been to in Canada that serves Canadian cuisine on an entirely new level than anything you have probably ever eaten. The Only on King truly goes above and beyond any other restaurant I have ever been to in London, Ontario, let alone Canada. If you are in London, Ontario, GO TO THIS RESTAURANT! It's just sauce'em!

Great food. Obnoxious and arrogant restaurant manager.

Great wine, great food, great service! This is a top restaurant and the people in London Ontario should be delighted to have it. Every time I come to London I pay a visit.

unbelievable food, great menu, great service and atmosphere!!!!

Instead of the obvious shill reviews posted previously allow me to provide a truly honest, independent review.
First, I was seated for my reservation at a back table by a wall near a corridor. There was a draft and, seeing that the restaurant was empty thus far but for a few tables, I politely asked to be moved to one of the many empty tables. The hostess flat out refused, saying that the manager pre-plans the seating plan. I looked around at all of the empty seats and re-iterated that I was uncomfortable at that table, and I could not understand why I could simply not be moved to one of the many empty tables. At this point the manager got involved and said

Fantastic. Went for a birthday dinner for 12 people, had the chef's tasting menu. Paired with a glass of champagne initially, and 2 italian wines not available at the LCBO (the chef asked our friend whose wife's birthday it was, if he could get any particular wines in for him - great service). Nine courses came out - a charcuterie plate of very nice salamis, prosciutto, and other meats with pickled vegetables and goat cheese, two salads (one of dark leafy greens and a lemony vinaigrette, the other a vegetable salad with a heavenly dressing and many delicious vegetables I didn't even know the name of - watermelon radish for one), wild mushroom risotto to die for, soft gnocchi with braised beef, organic angus tenderloin with braised black cabbage and a dill parmesan sauce (very different and amazing sauce), crispy skinned roast chicken with roasted potatoes and trout with artichokes, then desserts (sticky toffee pudding, a chocolate tart, and lemon and pine nut torte - all really great). The atmosphere is simple but cozy, the service excellent (very attentive without being intrusive and they explained all the dishes in detail as they came out). In the end all of that cost about $180 per couple. We took home the leftovers, which there were plenty of, and everyone had a great time. Will go back any time I have a special reason to go out. The menu and the attention to detail as well as the fact that as many of the ingredients as possible are local and organic really raises the bar in London.

What food is meant to be. The experience and creativity of the chef's is front and center as are the qualities of fresh local ingredients. Great service and a friendly un pretentious environment. London has a restaurant to be proud of again. Keep up the great work.

my husband and I have eaten dinner about five times or more and have been completely satisfied with our entire meals. We have yet to have a dish there that we haven't loved. The chefs are doing an amazing job-keep up the great work!

This was an absolutely fantastic dining experience. The chef is truly inspired - each dish was perfectly prepared and the wine pairings were spot on. The soup was excellent, the pork melted in my mouth, and the dessert was to die for.

Overall, I can't recommend The Only on King enough - I'll be back soon!

Great service & food. Tough act to follow London.

Delish!!!
Atmosphere A+...cozy, and the food so trendy! Perfectly timed courses and wine pairings were brilliant! I highly recommed this place to any foodie at heart!

Amazing -Food, Service and Menu. I have only been back in London 3 times since the start of the summer, but I have made sure that this is one of my stops on each occasion.

The only on King is now the best restaurant in London. With a revolving menu, gorgeous decor and the tasty food, the rest of London's restaurants are playing catch-up.

(all of our dishes were super delcious and innovative... i can still taste the out of this world heirloom tomatoes!!!) the service was impeccable.. especially for london. and the atmosphere was very warm.

Excellent food, made an excellent cap for my visit to London.

Best Chef since Ratatouille!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful restaurant, varied menu that is changed daily based on what is fresh. Very friendly chef / owner.

The Only On King is now my favourite place to eat in London. The atmosphere, food and service was fantastic. A perfect spot for a relaxing, unhurried dinner that is both unique and satisfying.

One the best places I have ever been! Excellent environment! FANTASTIC FOOD! Organic and local produce and meat! It all tasted sooo good!

And FYI The Chef was more than willing to cook up 3 different special dishes for the vegetarians in my dining party.
I would recommend this place to anyone!
