Regarding the suburban Toronto point - Cafe O's other location is at Victoria & River in Kitchener, and Vandijk Fish Company's other location is a trailer at St. Jacobs Market.

Wow... most of these are totally targeted to the Chinese/Asian markets. I really doubt I'll ever eat anything there, or drink coffee in a place that smells like fish for that matter. I'm still surprised that they opted for this food court style of adding commercial space to his building. Why not street facing units? Ugh.

Because this layout allows the vendors to share seating/table space?
Some non-Asian folks (including me) actually do like eating Asian food, too. And nice to see hakozushi (an Osaka region specialty) available as an alternative to the AYCE sushi eateries that are pervasive in the region.

Once inside the shops, there wasn't a fishy smell anymore! Though, it did kinda hover over the communal seating. Hopefully when the pizza place opens, that will fight off the fish.
Two of the places, Sugar Marmalade and foodie fruity are eat-in restaurants with their own seating.
I don't mind the food court design! It's still right up at the street, and it lets you stand in a climate controlled environment while you fail at deciding what to eat. I suspect they will eventually install outdoor seating, as the patio outside is rather spartan right now.
[EDIT] woah, I didn't mean to join in on a pile-on!
