A long-standing Asian restaurant on Queen Street West has quietly closed its doors after nearly four decades in business, marking the end of an era for a block of Toronto known for its high turnover and rapid change.
Saigon Flower Restaurant, located at 1138 Queen St. W., has permanently closed its doors without an official announcement.
Since opening, the restaurant's signature bright yellow sign has become a familiar landmark, and sat for years between two Drake Hotel properties on Queen Street West near Beaconsfield Avenue.
As many pointed out, the restaurant had been listed as "permanently closed" on Google for some time.
Proud to announce after 39 years of business on Queen she has decided to enjoy the finer things in life and hang up her wok.
