    I didn't want to cook and this place has a decent selection of dishes to go with rice. Great to have this addition to the food court at Brentwood Mall. It seems to specialize in roast meat -- pork, char siu, duck and soy chicken. They also sell beef brisket and wonton noodle soup. Prices start from $13.99 for a 1-item combo but on average you are looking at $17 for a meal here. I tried the roast pork and soy chicken rice and it was ok. I wished the roast pork skin was crispier. The chicken was better. I did feel the meat was on the saltier side. I would want to try the beef brisket and radish dish next time.

    Cantonese style BBQ place inside the new Brentwood Mall food court. Parking is available in the lots surrounding the building. Selection is pretty typical, with stuff like BBQ pork, roast pork, and roast duck. This place also has food court food, which somewhat sets it apart from most of the competition. Pricing is a few bucks more than the non food court BBQ places, which is expected. Quality is decent but nothing special. Might be because I came by towards the end of the day. The meat was on the dry side. Guessing it sat there all day. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point, though there are other places around town.

    Our little family often find ourselves in Brentwood Mall's Table food court when hubby and I are both lazy to cook and are craving different cuisines. It's great that more concessionaires have finally opened and added more variety to Tables. Tried Bona Fide BBQ since I was craving HK BBQ food and I haven't tried them yet. Pricing was fair and portions were great. Enjoyed the flavours of both the pork and chicken. Liked their ginger scallion sauce that went well with the meat. Line was a bit long when I was there but moved fairly quick. Great addition to Brentwood and looking forward to trying more of their offerings.

    Sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, and pork fried rice.

    Terrible price and portion size. No vegetables in sweet and sour pork and the sesame chicken was mushy and had zero sesame flavour or seeds. Will not finish my meal and certainly will not return

    It's a lot and generous. It's very cost-effective, so I recommend you to go when you're hungry

    This is a good BBQ meat option at the mall. My favourite is their BBQ duck and rice combo. Quality is good. Meal is quite filling for the price. Service is always fast and efficient.

    I'm so glad to have a HK BBQ joint nearby for quick and easy comfort food! The prices are a bit higher but - I guess the name of the game is inflation for all. I went near the end of the day so they were sold out of roasted pork and some of the combo items. I opted to try the chasiu and I thought it tasted good. Portion is a bit small in my opinion but that could just be my gluttony speaking on my behalf. Overall - I am pleased with my experience and happy to welcome this in the neighbourhood! staff wore masks as of September 7, 2022.

    Bbq duck and wonton

    This worst wonton bbq noodle I ever had and the most expensive $26.08 It was the staff mistake . The most nasty wonton and soggy noodle. Staff make a mistake honor instead the shit was over price. I don't mind paying if it was good but over priced and was nasty. Don't bother coming to this place.

    Bona fide bbq at the amazing Brentwood food court!This Asian roasted and bbq meats food stall is a new one at Brentwood and it's getting busy! Reminds me of places like in crystal mall and just eating these kinds of food is nostalgic for me. I think it's quite a good deal for the amounts of meat you get with rice, it sure is a filling lunch meal! I got roasted bbq pork on rice, when you order one type of meat the container will separate the rice from the meat. I like how crispy the bbq pork skin is! Absolutely delicious and my most favourite meat to eat. Also we got two kinds of bbq meats the roasted bbq duck and honey bbq pork (also known as char siu) with rice. The container for this one is just all rice at the bottom and the meats on top. Kinda felt like there is even more rice for this option. Also the downside of the container is that the rice sticks to it.

    Had really good HK roasted pork on rice here at Bona Fide. Fast service and decent quality meat. Definitely would recommend this spot in the Brentwood Food Court.

    2-items combo with rice - Sweet / sour pork , sesame chicken

    Always fresh and yummy , inside the Brentwood mall 2nd floor food court . Peaceful environment, tasty foods, always delicious and yummy fresh, there were big tables for large family or small table for one ... always enjoy the ambiance

    Bonafide BBQ is conveniently located in the Amazing Brentwood Tables food court. When I have cravings for BBQ duck, I come here and order their bbq duck rice noodle soup. It's a bit pricey for noodle soup but BBQ duck is pretty expensive everywhere these days. The skin has a good crisp to it and they give you about 1/4 duck on a healthy portion of thick round rice noodles. It takes about 5-10 minutes for the order to be ready. The taste is good and broth is not overly salty. Also comes with some veggies.

    I tried the two items combo. The portion of food is really small, greasy and good amount of MSG. Not recommended.

I came here to try their lasagna but wrong day for that, they are serving something else on this day, unfortunately that special of the day is only up to 2;30 and I came almost 3 pm. Aside from lasagna I came for the famous milkshake. I ordered ham, cheese, tomato and lettuce sandwich plus the soup of the day bacon chowder, I wanted to try the tuna salad but again its done so the server ended up giving a quinoa salad for free. Busy place considering its covid-19 era so only 4 person inside the store at a time. Few seating inside, the café is very relaxing and for some reason I felt peace and very calm. The only noise you can hear inside were the sounds of returned bottle glasses for milk while people putting them on cases.... Interesting displays and interior designs, since its family owned I can tell that most of the displays in here were things they had when they were kids, nice stuffs very interesting .Those memorabilias made me smile, that feeling a heart truly appreciated. The sandwhich I had was okay,the soup was very good as well, hot and creamy, the quinoa salad is just okay for me its just ordinadry but not bad. Heres come something funny, I placed an order and clearly I wanted a strawberry milkshake, but what was serve was plain milkshake, I believed this was an honest mistake so I did not say anything, it was good though but maybe I ill be best if its strawberry. Wifi is free as well as parking and lots of them no worries. Service is warm and very friendly...kudos guys.... Not bad for group,family and kids. B careful if you are using a GPS coming here, wrong street and turn ....I don't know why?....... I will still come back here and bring some friends.. hope this time I will get the right milkshake.
