    Located in the heart of Chinatown. They have a large variety of skewers and you order on an iPad. There's about 10-12 tables. The prices are very reasonable. Service was great. Not handicap friendly as there's stairs to get down. They also serve beer which pairs well with this type of food. Great spot to hang out with friends . Food is great for sharing. Street parking available and there's also a green p right across. They take cash and credit. 5% if you pay cash.

    Every dishes I ordered did not really stand out for me. Skewers were just okay and both clams/ scallops did not seem that fresh. Was disappointed because most of reviews for skewers were highly rated on google.

    In reality a 4.5 here, but I will say this place has a whole bunch of highlights, including some of their signature popular dishes that were frequently ordered, which were very affordable and plain delicious! My experience wasn't a 5 star mostly because of what I have personally ordered. My friends were good with this type of food and ordered everything but the silkworm chrysails, which I ordered. Since one of my friends and I were both from the region that the restaurant represented, we knew exactly what to go for to share, and we ordered everything from 爽口莴笋丝 which is the asparagus to the 五花肉酸菜 which was the sauerkraut with pork. Everything was tasty and small in portion, so if one had a big stomach, he/she would need to order a lot to get full, which wasn't a problem for me at the time, so I just ordered the silkworm chrysails. However, the silkworm chrysails were off, as they were not only small, which pretty much meant that the flavor was too condensed to th point of tasting like burning, with not much substance inside the cocoon skin. So basically I was almost just eating crispy skin which wouldn't make the dish complete. Also, I usually had the dish not only with much bigger silkworm back home, but also with black colored ones instead of these tiny golden ones. It was slightly disappointing. Still, I must admit that EVERYTHING ELSE was fire, and I would still highly recommend whoever around the area to come here, as long as ensuring that the right items are ordered. There could be other items that were off, too. Something that didn't rub me off the right way was that maybe because they were busy, but our waitress constantly approached us to take our tablet (ordering machine) away, even if we were not finished with ordering everything yet. And whenever we expressed we wer not done yet, our waitress would just walk away without saying anything. I get that Chinese restaurants would compromise service and it's cultural, as we focus on food flavor the most, but I still want to point it out in case anyone reading this cares about it. However, it did not play a factor into my review because Chinese restaurants in general can be like this and that's okay!

    I finally came across a Chinese BBQ skewer restaurant in Toronto with flavours tasty enough to make me want to return! The skewers here are nicely seasoned, the quality of the meat was good, and the price of the food was decent. The restaurant can get quite busy so it's recommended to go a little before theie peak hours or to call in advance to put your name down. There are two locations only a few doors apart, so you will need to make sure you have the one you want if you plan to call. The staff here are friendly, and efficient, but seem know limited English. Nevertheless, they give you a tablet to place your order with lots of pictures for for those that cannot read Chinese (about 10% of the menu didn't have English translations). The ambiance here was also good, and has Chinese street stall inspired decor.

    Here are what we ordered -Chicken skin 香酥脆雞皮(8串) $5.99 -Mini beef 牛小串(12串) $5.99 -Lamb shoulder skewer 羊肩肉小串(12串) $6.99 -Bbq chicken gizzard 烤鶏腎(8串) $6.99 -Pig fat intestines烤豬大腸 (6串)$6.99 -Spicy grilled shrimp香辣烤蝦(6串) $7.99 -Sizzling giant squid 鐵板大魷魚 $12.99 -Grilled garlic scallops 烤蒜蓉扇貝(4隻) $13.99 -Budweiser 啤酒(2枝) $11.98 Highlights included crispy chicken skin and flavourful grilled garlic scallops. Mini beef & lamb shoulder skewer are good deals too, one bite per skewer is so satisfying. And of course, no visit is complete without a cold beer (or two)! Beer + Skewers = Always the best combo 開到凌晨2點!可bookmark定 下次喺dt想食宵夜唔使周圍搵 雞皮夠酥脆 牛羊有12小串算幾抵 蒜蓉扇貝大大粒好惹味

    Just a few steps from Spadina and Dundas, I found a newly-opened skewer place offering delicacies from the region of Northern China. As a lover of great interior design, I was stunned by the marvelous architecture and props to showcase the culture to customers. The prices for the skewers were not too bad given how much they gave us in an order. We enjoyed the clams, skewers, the warm customer service from the staff. I really recommend to try this new spot in Toronto Chinatown Things we had: foil-bakes garlic okra grilled bean curd lamb shoulder skewer (12) 羊肩肉小串(12串) pig fat intestines pork belly pickled cabbage bbq clams 碳烤花甲 squid skewer

    Variety of skewers

    Went to this restaurant for the first time, and we had an interesting experience. The place itself is really cute with a lot of Chinese decoration, it almost reminds me of being in China. The skewers came pretty fast, we tried a rare and raw beef skewers, we thought we had to wait till the raw skewers to cook, but later found out that it's fine to eat raw. It would have been helpful if we were advice by the servers. The skewers itself was pretty flavourful, even thought we asked for mild, it was still pretty spicy. One thing that disappointed us was when we ordered the clams, we asked them twice after waiting for a long time, and the second time that's when they asked if we went to cancel it, since we were done with everything else. We enjoyed having the wide selection of the menu. It's good to choices to share with friends. Another thing was that be prepare that the server may speak to you in mandarin right when you walk in. Even thought I spoke it, but it was uncomfortable for my friends, since I was put into a translator position.

    Came here after work one day with a friend and it was a nice little hidden gem right on Dundas in Chinatown downtown Toronto. I'm a big fan of skewered bbq foods and when you walk in you get that freshly grilled bbq skewer smell. Although its ala carte and not all-you-can-eat, the format is similar to some nearby AYCE places with ipads given to each table. You simply choose your items and key them in directly on the ipad. Some highlights included the fried rice, the beef skewers, lamb skewers and the scallops. The booths and decor are all a really nice dark wood color which gives this place a homely vibe. For the price, the atmosphere and the service I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area and looking for reasonably priced bbq skewers.

    Cold noodle

    Came here at 10pm on Sunday and there was a line out the door! We provided a phone number and received a call 15-20 mins later. Ordered 3 kinds of skewers and a cold noodle. Absolutely everything was delicious... the skewers here might be our favourite in Toronto so Far. Great seasoning that is not too spicy or salty, and meat is very juicy while being a bit crispy. Price is great too!

    Chicken noodle soup
    Sharon Y.

    After trying to eat here once before and failing due to long wait times, I came back again for an early dinner (around 5:30pm on Sunday). That seemed to be a good time as it was starting to get busy but we didn't need to wait for a table. By the time our food started coming out we already saw people being turned away as the restaurant was full. This is a happening place! We were a group of two and we ordered the chicken noodle soup, beef rib skewers, chicken heart skewers, enoki mushrooms, squid tentacles, and lamb skewers. The chicken noodle soup came out first and it was surprisingly delicious for this being a skewers restaurant. I had low expectations but I wouldn't bat an eye if these noodles were served at a proper hand pulled noodles restaurant. It also came with some chicken wing skewers and those were delicious - spiced and cuminy. All the other skewers came out one by one, and they were all very delicious as well. They are small but each order comes with 6-10 depending on the item. I especially enjoyed the chicken hearts and beef ribs. The squid tentacles came out in a smaller portion than I expected (it was supposed to be 10 skewers but it was just a few pieces) but it was delicious nonetheless. Overall this place is really delicious and the bill for the two of us came out to $25 each after tax and before tip. That was great value for the quality of the food, and we were absolutely stuffed. This has definitely become one of my favourite skewer places in the city!

    The food at this grilled skewers shop is quite good. The moment you step into the shop, you are greeted by a strong Chinese ambiance, and the atmosphere is quite unique. Personally, I really enjoy this restaurant.

    Too loud and really bad environment to dine. Not that many options and the food is pretty bad. But don't take my words, I'm not Chinese.

There's no reservation system but they do have a waitlist on Yelp which gets you in line (highly recommended). First to know is you can't pay with credit card here--there's an ATM in the front of the restaurant. As far as the restaurant goes, it was fantastic from start to finish. Our table of 4 was seated and serviced by 1 main staff member, Lydia, who talked us through the whole menu and ordering system, recommended some great starts and then kept us frequently updated all throughout dinner. She checked up on us along with her assistants who were also bringing items and servicing the table. The food quality was excellent with juicy and flavorful cuts of beef along with the shrimp, pork, veggies, side dishes/ponchon, and rice--it kept coming consistently. Grill changes were frequent as well. The atmosphere is lively and there are a lot of servers so you aren't trying get someone's attention all the time. But it doesn't feel too cramped at the same time. As it is AYCE, everyone in our group left full of course and enjoyed each course. I liked the almond tofu at the end! ----TL;DR---- Pros: great selection of meats, quality was top notch, huge portions of course as it is AYCE, service was prompt and all staff were really friendly. Cons: no reservations so need to be on a waitlist. The no credit card system is a bit of an inconvenience. Bottom Line: we loved it--definitely would go back again and enjoy more of their selections! You have to try them if you like meat and AYCE!

Instead, I waited over an hour with no update. When I finally called the restaurant to check on the order, I was casually told that it had been cancelled because they ran out of food. The problem is that no one bothered to notify me. No message in the app, no call -- nothing. I was simply left waiting for over an hour for an order they apparently already knew they couldn't fulfill. What made it worse was the attitude on the phone. The person I spoke with was rude and dismissive, with no apology or attempt to make the situation right. Now I'm told the refund could take up to 10 business days to return to my credit card. Running out of food happens. Ignoring a $200+ order for over an hour on a Friday night and then being rude to the customer is unacceptable. Plenty of better BBQ options in the city -- I won't be ordering from here again.

They have a retro vibe, with decorations such as cassettes, records, spool film, old movie posters, etc. You can access their online menu via a QR Code or use a printed copy. There are four dishes that have a limited quantity per day. We ordered the following (check my menu photos for a description of the dishes): 1. Thai Milk Tea ($6.50). 2. "Do Not Disturb" Cocktail ($16.95). 3. Tum Kao Pod ($16.95). 4. Hoy Jor ($20.95). One of their signature dishes. 5. Chick N Chips ($14.95). 6. Lamb Si Klong with Sticky Rice ($34.95). One of their signature dishes. Their food is quite good and plated well, hence I considered it elevated dining, my words, not theirs. They even put some edible gold leaf on their signature dishes! I thought the taste was authentic. The downside is some items were too dry, like the chicken in the Chick N Fries and the Sticky Rice. The service is really good. Because there is limited seating, it is best to make a reservation. The tables are set up for 2 or 4 people. Reserving for 4+ people is a definite requirement since it may be hard to put adjacent tables together. Along with the retro vibe, some walls are illuminated by alternating neon colours. It makes for an "interesting" interior with changing colours. At least they don't affect the colours on your table much. This is a sister restaurant to Si Lom Thai Bistro, which is nearby. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms downstairs, thus they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street. There are high chairs for little children. Review 2024-237
