Don't be intimidated by the menu!! The first time my friends and I came here I think we spent a good 10 minutes just staring at the menu because there was so much to choose from. When in doubt just look at the pictures and don't be afraid to try something new! I personally recommend the flaming chicken spicy noodle, or the tom yum chicken rice. These are my usual dishes and they taste amazing. The dish tastes salty and savoury and honestly the rice really pairs well with the sauce. I also recommend the popcorn chicken as an appetizer. The food is really filling, and super satisfying when you're craving something heavy. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. Okonomiyaki fries was yummy since they used Costco fries - I love Costco fries. The Tom yum udon sounds like a weird mix but was surprisingly delicious. Somehow they made that combo work in a sizzling plate. Prepared yourself for a very greasy meal. read more

Flaming Kitchen If you are down for some sizzling plate dining then this is a place to try. Most things come on a hot sizzling plate where you can customize your protein, grain, veggie and sauce. They also have some premade combos if you have difficulty choosing. There are great snacks that you can share as well as drinks and desserts. I've been here twice and both experiences were positive. This is what I've had: Japanese pancake: I got this both times I've came and it was delicious. It's really hot so be careful. The only down side was the second time I got it, the portion was significantly smaller. Perhaps, it could be due to the time we came. (Weekday lunch vs. weekend dinner) Black Curry Pork Cutlet Rice: very flavourful with a good portion of pork and lots of sauce. Curry has a bit of kick. Garlic Cheesy Ox Tongue Rice: I love ox tongue so you can't really go wrong. The protein was good, the rice and sauce was delicious as well, they must have put some butter or cream in the rice though. The restaurant is mid-sized, generally spacious and can hold large or small groups. I wouldn't mind coming back again. read more

I've been wanting to try Flaming Kitchen for a while now mostly because of how nice the food pictures look outside the restaurant but I never had the chance to try... except tonight! First thing is the service. The waiter we got was a little... strange. We had some trouble communicating with this server and he seemed like he was just ready to go home. There was a milk broth option for the hot pot selections and my friend was curious on what that is so we asked the server to describe it to us and he was a little confused too. And throughout our meal, he was just very slow and he seemed so confused on every little thing we asked for and at one point we just had to ask another waiter to help us instead. The food there was so-so. It wasn't anything special and the price is pretty up there. One of the entrees we got is a beef sukiyaki and they give very little meat for that dish. It wasn't anything special... the only good thing was the broth but we didn't go there to pay $16 for broth. The other thing we got was a curry with cutlet udon, this was better and more worth it. It was $13.99 for it and they gave way more for this entree than the more expensive beef sukiyaki. Overall, I dont think I will come back. The service there wasn't the best and the premium pricing for the small portions is not worth it especially since the taste isn't anything special. read more

I tried this place when it had just recently arrived in the plaza, as everyone was going there. From the pictures, Smokey look & all of the people I saw go I thought the food would be good. It wasn't. I ordered rice w/ salmon, I don't recall what the actual name of the dish was. You have the option of choosing some of the already designated dishes with all of the ingredients chosen, or creating your own plate. I opted for one of the predesignated salmon dishes & added an egg (which was extra because it's an additional topping). The food came out smoking & it looked appetizing at first. I put in the egg & it wouldn't even cook..... I thought that was the point of having the smokey plate but I guess not. This made my rice mushy & unappetizing. The sauce not the salmon could save it, mind you it wouldn't have been a great dish with or without the egg. It was a large waste of $13. Now my reason for giving it even 2 stars is the servers really cared about your experience. I didn't end up finishing my meal or even half of it & they asked me what had gone wrong, etc. Very nice of them to take customer concerns into consideration. read more

This place was such a disappointment. I ordered the Sizzling Green Tea Brownie with Tofu Pudding and Red Bean. The brownie was amazing but a lot smaller than I expected. There was too much red bean in my opinion and the tofu pudding was just bad. I went with two friends and one ordered a Chocolate Parfait-I dont know what we expected but it was all grocery store items. Frosted flakes, whipped cream, granola, a regular waffle cone, and to top it off chocolate ice cream with freezer burn. The other ordered the sizzling waffle plate that comes with a scoop of ice cream and marshmallows... and the waffle was an Eggo waffle! Not even freshly made, which their neighbours (Boba Boy, not a full-blown restaurant like they are) even offer. And don't think this is speculation. My friend asked our server at the end of the meal if the waffle was an Eggo waffle and she admitted it was. And to go off that, the service wasn't very helpful at all. We asked about several menu items because in the menu there are pictures but no explanations as to what exactly is in the dish, and both servers working at the time seemed to not know the menu well. They often responded with "I'm not sure" or even straight up "I don't know". It got so flustering that we stopped asking questions and just ordered something. I was already agitated and the fact that one server was literally dropping the dirty plates into a bin that was outside of the kitchen area--right behind us in the dining area--and making an absolute ruckus throughout the duration of our meal, made it worse. The only reason I've given more than one star is because the green tea brownie (not the whole dish, just the brownie) was actually tasty. I do want to try their entrées and appetizers... hopefully I'll have a better experience when I decide to come back. read more

I love the food here! It's a cute place where my friends and I can just enjoy good food that looks and tastes great! It's also very fun to get sizzling plates. The prices are reasonable for the portions, as well as presentation. The only thing that needs fixing is the service. Overall, this is a great place to eat. read more

Arrived here on a Thursday evening and it was a full house! I had the flaming chicken spicy noodle and the sizzling cheesy rice cake, but to my disappointment, they weren't very spicy at all! Both dishes had a strong processed cheese flavour to it. The portion for the flaming chicken spicy noodle was quite small and I still felt a little hungry after finishing it, though prices were fair (the noodles were ~$12). Service was okay. The waitress refilled our waters multiple times. Dishes came out one by one... some dishes came out ten minutes before the others did. I would have preferred if they all came out at once! Note: They do not accept credit and will not allow you to use the debit machine unless your meal is over $20. They DO have an ATM in-store. read more

Warning, definitely not enough air conditioning. Be prepared to sweat throughout the meal ! According to the server, they've been opened for just two weeks now so things seem to be running smoothly. The internal temperature might improve. Service is pretty good, the servers will come by to check on the table and to refill water. The interior colour scheme seems to be red and white. The red leather chairs were a bit uncomfortable to sit on as the meal progressed. It was too warm and it felt a bit sticky on the skin. Presentation was expected, bubbling hot plates of food protected by a warning label. The fried pork cutlet was a bit on the dry side, definitely needed to be covered in the curry sauce. The "jumbo" scallops seemed kind of small and one of them was only half the size of the other two. The truffle cream sauce was really flavourful and not over seasoned, just right. The hamburg was really moist and tasted great but the cabbage on the side didn't really cook down so that was disappointing. The sauce was place in a metal container in the centre of the sizzling plate, don't think that was the best idea. Overall, will come back again. The food was decent but maybe when the weather is colder. read more

The service here sucks but I came here twice last weekend because the food was so good. Tried the salmon rice dish and the beef rice dish. My friends tried the salmon and beef rice dish and the curry udon with chicken and beef. What makes the food so good here is the house teppanyaki sauce which we all got with our dishes; a MUST TRY! The rice dishes come with this sauce along with a bit of corn and green onions. Extras are $.50-$1.50 depending on what you choose. What I mean by the service sucking is they don't pay attention to customers trying to get their attention. The first time we came, we were the only ones in the restaurant and the second time it was completely full. Both times the servers failed to acknowledge us when we needed something. It got to the point where after 10 minutes of trying to ask for more water and the bill, we ended up doing the obnoxious hand raise and they still didn't notice so we went up to them for it. Although the service is the worst here (even for a Chinese establishment), I have to say the food is just that good hence the 4 stars. read more

The food is decent but very expensive for kind of a small portion. The durian spring rolls were really good but the durian sweet dumplings was meh. I've had better popcorn chicken as well. I really wanted to try their matcha lava cake but they sold out so I will be coming back for that. The rice sets were just like any other rice set. I wouldn't crave this place but if I were in the area, I wouldn't mind coming back. The three stars is because of the price and portion of the food. read more

I LOVE the mentaiko beef udon and spicy chicken noodle! Food comes out sizzling hot and the taste is always consistent. Only downside is the price to portion ratio. Just one dish usually isn't enough to get me full and I generally don't even eat that much to begin with. Considering it's ~$13 per plate, definitely on the pricier side. But I'll admit I'm a sucker for the gimmick of sizzling plate dishes! read more

Presentation is probably the best thing here. Majority of the food come on a sizzling hot plate! I ordered the black curry katsu udon and it was very pleasant! The curry isn't your traditional sweet Asian curry but it's one that packs a punch of spice. The Katsu was also very good and come with a good amount. The price and the service isn't too bad either. They only take credit over 20$ so grab some cash! read more

Been here a few times, it's a very good go-to place for groups up to 10, and their dishes are mainly one per person, with only the appetizers being shareable but a bit expensive. My sister got popcorn chicken rice and I got the black curry pork cutlet rice, which both are pretty filling and average. We also got the fried cheese bites, which are SUPER GOOD. The photo looks like the only serve 5 pieces, but they come in 6 with spicy mayo on the side. My absolute favourite dish here! Their dishes are nice to take photos of because of the presentation on sizzling plates. They also don't have wifi, so your snaps unfortunately will have to wait unless you have data :( I also notice over the few times I've been here that workers will just sit in the booth closest to the kitchen (especially when it's not busy) and just be on their phones or napping (laying down on the seat??) and sometimes no ones outside in the dining area so service will be pretty slow. Otherwise, if you go during a busier time then service usually is better! read more

Located in the popular plaza of midland and finch. It is perfect for those who enjoy hot plate dishes. The dishes of selection is endless and consist of different appetizer for sharing. My favourite is their beef hot plate with rice. The sitting is comfortable and not tight, perfect for family and friends to enjoy a meal. Many different types of desserts available for different taste buds. Overall, a good experience. Staff can be slow at time but understandable during high traffic times. read more

I'm usually very reluctant to write a bad review but this experience just wasn't pleasant. We came here for my sister's birthday-- thought we'd give this place a try since it was close by and the photos looked delicious. It was freezing in the restaurant - it didn't help that we were seated under a vent, which is fine cause sometimes that's just what you get. Asked for hot tea or hot water to keep warm while we waited for the food and received luke warm water from the tap . Food came and it looked nothing like the photos in the menu. Quite frankly didn't taste that great either. Found a hair in one of our dishes and the waitress apologized and quickly requested another dish for us. However, she did not take away the dish with hair so it was quite unappetizing having a cheesy string of hair stare at us while we sat there freezing. We finished our meal and had brought a cake to celebrate. What do you know, they refuse to give us a knife and plates. I don't think we've ever been to a restaurant, ever, that didn't allow cake cutting. Sure we've been places where they charge a cake cutting fee, but never a straight up "no". Such a great way to end our already not-so-great of an experience. Don't think I'll be coming back here again. At least not to this location. read more

We went around nighttime and I was surprised to find it not busy. Before this location opened, I would usually go to the one in Markham and there would be a long wait. I got the Tom Yum Chicken and Bite Sized Squid Balls. Couldn't really finish the dish because it was too spicy for my liking, but it was probably because I added the kimchi. Not a bad place to go to if you're hanging out with some friends in the area. read more

Had a nice patio lunch today. I had to walk inside the restaurant because I didn't see a server outside. A server approached me promptly and I was told I had to order my meals first and then I can be seated outside. At first glance, the place is clean. Servers were wearing masks and looked like they were complying with COVID regulations. They now have dine in service but still have their patio open as another option which is great! We ordered the angus steak rice set. Shen the server brought it out, it looked amazing. It was sizzling and smelled delicious. The steak was grilled to perfection. Could use a little more seasoning though. The sides of corn and cabbage can use a little more flavour as well. The sizzling okonomiyaki fries was another interesting dish. It was sizzling but it was well plated and looked delish. The flavour was not too strong but still nice on the palate. Fries were crunchy but still soft inside. Flavours melted well together. I really enjoyed the sizzling cheesy rice cake. This was really sizzling. Like lava as I can only imagine. This was my first time trying this dish ever and it became my favourite dish here. The rice cake was nice and chewy. The dish was very cheesy as promised in the picture and according to its name. But I really enjoyed the balance of the sauce and the spice. Not too salty and not too spicy. It was just right! My husband chose the popcorn chicken. The first thing he said after taking a bite "it always taste better when it comes in these little baskets". And I have to agree. Plating is key. It does set the mood and manipulates your mind into thinking it taste better. But it was just ok for me. Again, another dish that needs more seasoning. Also, the chicken was just a tad bit over cooked. Not dry but I've had really juicy popcorn chicken before. We also had bite size cheese for appetizers. Very cheesy in the inside and crunchy on the outside. It was quite enjoyable. Did not need any seasoning. But it it did come with sauce and it complimented it very well. The cheesiness and spiciness marry well together. Our last sizzling plate was the jumbo scallops spaghetti with truffle cream sauce. It was sizzling as well which is something I've never seen with spaghetti so it was interesting. However, I was disappointed that the scallops were over cooked and the texture was gummy. It lacked seasoning as well. The truffle in the middle was a nice touch. The noodles were cooked al dente but also lacked seasoning. Lastly for dessert we ordered the sizzling green tea brownie with red bean tofu pudding. Huge disappointment! Firstly, when it arrived, I was shocked that it didn't even look like the picture. 2. The brownie was not enjoyable. It was dry and not tasty. There was a weird after taste to the matcha. It came with vanilla ice cream which tasted standard as any vanilla ice cream would. The red bean tasted like the ones in the jar so that was ok too. But where was the tofu pudding? And why was there a creme Anglais looking sauce in the picture but not on my dish? To sum it up, the flaming kitchen was a very unique experience. In the summer if they continue to do patio seating, it adds to the ambiance and experience. I had fun with food. I would come again and I would still recommend this restaurant. I gave it a 4 but I meant 3.5 read more

Pros: - nice seating arrangements (spacious, red booths). Large group hangouts (say, at night) is very possible - customizable savoury hot plates - diverse selection of food - some interesting dishes like cheesy rice cakes on hot plate Cons: - portions for the customizable savoury hot plates are kind of small for the price - the savoury hot plates are a bit simple - just spaghetti or rice plus one meat. Extra toppings/meats available but with additional costs I'll still go again because the selection is quite interesting read more

I have been here a few times. I actually do like the food. Nothing special but it is good and different.

Yikes, I did not like this place. I came here one night with a friend, and it was relatively not busy. I ordered the pork cutlet curry while she got a parfait. Service was pretty standard for an Asian place (so neither great nor terrible). The food was so bitter. I didn't understand why. First off, the cutlet was more like a thin sheet of breading. I couldn't even tell if there was pork in it. Maybe it was burnt and that's why it was so bitter, but even without that, the rest of the dish wasn't good. The curry didn't taste like curry, more just like some vague brown sauce. You could literally only taste the sweetness of the corn mixed with bitterness and black pepper. My friend's parfait wasn't faring any better. She gave me a little bit to try, and I found it so meh. Not even average, just meh. She felt the same way. She described it as just cereal, yogurt, and ice cream. There was no wow factor or even anything to make her think it was worthwhile to eat as a dessert. She ended up not finishing it. Look, maybe we ordered the wrong items. I saw some people eating udon and that looked pretty good, so I'm willing to give this place the benefit of doubt and return one day. Based off first impressions though, I am beyond disappointed in Flaming Kitchen, especially since I had heard from my peers that it was a pretty good place. read more

I've never been the biggest fan of the food here, but I keep coming back, so that must mean there's something good about this spot! Maybe it's the decent pricing, or the fact that it's open until 11pm, or knowing your food will be hot every time, or its convenient placement in a nice foodie friendly plaza. Probably the combination of all 4 reasons makes the average food much more worth it. 3.5/5 for me! read more

Came here on opening weekend when they had the BOGO deal on some main dishes. Arrived after the dinner rush so we were seated right away. Staff were always on the go, and we did have to waive them down to place our order and get refills on water. Wait time for food wasn't bad though. Hands down our favourite dish was the Flaming Chicken Spicy Noodle. Everything else we ordered was flavourful but if you are sensitive to spice, stay clear of the Korean Spicy Beef Rice. We also could've done without the Salmon Spaghetti with Cream Sauce (a little bland). Overall had a good experience, prices were reasonable, and food was good. FYI: the restaurant only took cash or debit (over $20). read more

This would have been our second time visiting... if we had ever received our food. While it was busy with customers, over a third of the tables were still open for a Friday night meal, which meant we got a table right away. However once we placed our order, which resulted in us having to flag someone down to accept it, the waiting game began. We waited almost 45 minutes, having repeatedly inquired about our food, and being told 'It's coming, and a last 'I know!' after our last inquiry'. We also had to watch other tables who had arrived after us receive their meals before us. We ended up leaving, no food delivered, a sour experience, and a certainty that we will not be returning or recommending this restaurant. We proceeded to head to another restaurant (where this review is being written) and in 10 minutes of ordering we've gotten three appetizers and a free dish in this time. We should have come here first, instead of wasting our time at Flaming Kitchen. Diners be warned. read more
