    Simple soup included with combo meals
    Chris C.

    Ho Ho BBQ is a tiny little shop that can accommodate only two or three customers at a time. They're located in a small plaza with two other similar shops, all offering combo meals starting at only CDN$6.00 (cash, no tax). I usually get a combo meal with BBQ Pork and Roast Pork, which includes rice, vegetables, and soup. Great deal! This time, however, I decided to upgrade to a BBQ Duck and Roast Pork combo, as well as a dish of Pork with Tofu. It was delicious and lasted me for three meals. Total cost was only $15! As usual, the food was very tasty, but presentation was a but messy. The service was quick and efficient.

    This is one of three places at this plaza called Evergold Centre that offers $6 BBQ deals and today I got BBQ pork on rice which came with some greens and an odd watery soup broth. Couldn't drink it! But the pork was delicious and juicy and I love that it comes with green veggies! It's a tiny, cramped place and wasn't seat friendly. But it was a short line up and fast service when I was there before 12 noon. I'd come back but I'll go to other BBQ places to compare taste and portions.

    $6 with a choice of 1 or 2 meats, comes with soup & tax is included! This one was $10 because the roast pork cut was a rib piece. Crispy skin from the roast pork, and tender soy sauce chicken. You cannot eat at the food court in the plaza, someone will kick you out if they see you eating bbq meats lol. Many customers dined in the car.

    Bbq pork on rice with veggies
    Janine W.

    It's a take out place only. FYI $6 for bbq pork on rice comes with soup and veggies. Cash only I think. Definitely a good deal. I mean when is the last time you got a meal for that price? Not in the 2000!! The pork is charred pretty good if you like that. It's a bit fattier than other places I've had it but that does attribute to it not being dry. If I'm in the area, it's definitely worth getting you can buy 2 for $12 and that would be enough for a big eater for 2 meals for smaller to normal appetites. There can be a line up. But it's not as bad as other places plus the soup is decent

    Delicious marinade and prices that can't be beat. No regrets on the taste and the value. But they didn't ask if I wanted a lean or fatty BBQ pork, and just gave me a super fatty one. I chewed some pure fat pieces. I think I will stir fry the rest of the BBQ pork.

    Hoho is a small Chinese BBQ place for takeout only. I just can't say enough good things about it, in nowadays it's hard to find!they are still keeping their $6 for two kinds combo with free soup, and including tax! When other restaurants had increased the price several times already, which usually is double price at $12.99+tax. Their quality is good too, especially the bbq duck and roast pork! I would give 6/5 if I could! The service is fast but usually they have a long line up

    3.5 STARS Came back from a mini getaway trip and needed something quick for dinner. Stopped by Ho ho bbq to give it a try. Ordered some roasted pork and half a roasted duck. Total came to $41 and change. Went home and cooked some rice. Upon first taste, the duck was okay, the taste was there, but lacking a flavour that brings it together. The roasted pork was not so good here, I've had better roasted pork and this place was my least favourite, and the sauce that came with it was kind of weird (think of bbq sauce but make it asian). mr. Tran really enjoys roasted duck with plum sauce, but they only gave us 1 packet of sauce... Don't think I will be returning as there are better bbq establishments elsewhere.

    Lunch special $6.00
    Darby C.

    Came here for a quick lunch with my wife. Ordered the $6 special. There was a small lineup outside the store. I ordered the bbq pork and roasted pork ribs and wife got bbq pork and roasted duck. The bbq pork was decent but i wouldn't say a standout. It needed some honey bbq sauce. The roasted pork rib has delicious and not too much fat. I would have liked more crispy skin but you get what you pay for. Wife's roasted duck was good however portions were a bit smaller because duck is considered an expensive commodity in the Chinese bbq business! Both boxed came with generous portion of steamed rice and steamed Yu Choy vegetables. There was also a house soup served with the lunch box. Soup was nothing special but at least it didn't have MSG. Would have liked they gave some extra Hoisin sauce and plum sauce on the side. There's a food court you can go inside and eat your delicious bbq food. For budget minded people this is a great option to grab a quick bite or if you want order some chinese bbq a la carte. Check out their daily specials as well. Cheers.

    Roast pork
    Tiffany W.

    Ho Ho BBQ has really good daily deals which means there's usually a line on particular days. Notably it's $17 for a while roast duck on Tuesdays, and $5.99/lb for roast pork on Thursdays. Those are the only two items worth getting imo. Their cha siu is rather bland. Their duck is the best in all of the GTA imo. Roast pork is pretty good, marinated well and crispy skin so worth going on Thursday. Be warned though. This is not the most honest business on the block. In fact, for some reason all the BBQ shops in this plaza have a tendency to tweak the weight of your roast meats and/or try to switch out the pieces you've picked with off cuts on the cutting board. Definitely keep an eagle eye on them and call it out when you see it.

    BBQ pork, roast pork, rice and vegetable.
    John H.

    Unbelievable value! Two meats, rice and vegetable with soup (broth) and a drink for $6! And the portions are huge! Why would anyone eat fast food? Friendly staff, some don't speak very good English, but manage okay. It's a hole in the wall. Tiny place, if you're squeamish at all about immaculate conditions, not for you, but if you love delicious food at great prices, definitely give it a go!

    Bbq pork
    Daniel C.

    Ho Ho bbq is well known given its quality and prices. We got the bbq pork and it was quite good. Moist, even the leaner pieces, and flavorful. Love the end pieces with that slight char. 4/5. The roasted pork was awesome. The skin was crispy, crunchy and most pieces only had a small fat layer though some had more. It was juicy and succulent. Just the right amount of salt. 4.5/5. Definitely recommend trying this place out.

    Front entrance
    Kim N.

    Your whole in the wall place in a run-down plaza type of setting. There is always a line up when we go, but it's a small shop that can fit 2-3 people (more if you squeeze). Don't expect much in terms of overall cleanliness or appearance. We come here for there Roasted Pork Thursday deal (5.99/lb) and also got a duck. Found the pork a little too salty than most places but the duck was yumm. Service and transaction is quick. Cash only.

    Soya sauce chicken on the left

    Busy venue that serves reasonably priced Chinese bbq. Appreciate that they use free range chicken for their soya chicken.

    I came here a couple days ago after a Chinatown festival around 10 PM, it was pretty busy. We had…read moreto wait about 10 minutes to be seated. They gave us the table directly in front of the counter where the cashier stays, so I requested a different table which we then had to wait another 10 to 15 minutes for. This is not at all a complaint as it was requested. The service was good but most of the servers didn't really speak English, which I guess is to be expected in Chinatown. I don't have any complaints about that. The food took about 10-15 minutes once ordered. We ordered the Grilled Squid, Grilled Oysters, Beef Ribs, Chicken Thigh Skewers, Bean Curd Rolls w/ Cilantro, Grilled Eggplant and Cauliflower. Pretty much everything was over flavoured and lots of MSG. The beef ribs were quite good. Not the best I've had but good. The chicken skewers were fine. The oysters tasted pretty decent but I only had a couple bites of one because I'm not a huge fan of oysters. The bean curd rolls were fine but they could have been better if they took the time to put just cilantro leaves in there not the whole stems, which made them take forever to chew. The grilled eggplant was good only because I love eggplant, there was waaay too much seasoning for the thin piece of eggplant. The cauliflower was my favourite but again, the seasoning should be toned down. The Grilled Squid we both took one bite of and could immediately tell it was either not fresh or not good quality so we didn't eat it. They removed it from the bill as requested which we appreciated. They had free self serve slushies which was a cute touch. Overall the staff and service was good but the food was below average, which was disappointing given the restaurant's rating.

    Overall it was pretty good. My favorite dishes were was the mini lamb skewers, red sausages, and…read morevermicelli noodles. I liked the seasoning that they use and everything was very flavorful. I do wish the clam dish had more clams but instead it had a lot of vermicelli noodles inside. The food was a bit too oily, I know that bbq places tend to be on the oilier side but even the fried rice had a lot of oil. The enoki mushroom were very dry and not worth the price so wouldn't recommend that. The interior was really nice and giving street food in China vibes. The staff was pretty kind being us water refills and checking in.

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!

We walked into a lively, casual space that works especially well for groups, celebrations, or any meal where you want to take your time and enjoy the experience. The energy in the room is high, with the sound of grilling and conversation filling the space, and the table setup encourages a longer, more relaxed pace than a typical restaurant meal. The biggest highlight is the meat selection. The quality is consistently strong, with different cuts and marinades that give each plate its own flavor. The miso steak is one of the standout items, with a really good balance of savory, slightly sweet, and rich flavors. The marinated meats are where Gyubee really shines, coming seasoned well and developing a great char from grilling at the table. We worked through a range of options including kalbi, hanger steak, and sausage, mixing and matching as we went. The fun part is being able to control the cooking yourself, whether you prefer a lighter sear or a deeper grilled flavor, and the grill setup makes it easy to cook at your own pace. The sides and extras are also better than what we usually expect from an all you can eat BBQ spot. The sushi was surprisingly enjoyable, with smaller portions that made it easy to try different rolls without filling up too quickly. The bibimbap is another good addition, especially when paired with the grilled meats. Takoyaki and other sides helped break up the meal and added variety beyond just ordering meat after meat. The spread is broad enough that you can build a well rounded meal without feeling like you are stuck in a single category. Service was a strong part of the experience. Even with the restaurant being busy, the staff were attentive and checked in regularly to make sure we had what we needed. They kept the table moving, helped with ordering, and made the process feel smooth despite the constant flow of guests. The wait can be the biggest challenge, especially during dinner hours, but the service once seated helped make up for it. The staff also handled the high turnover of tables well, keeping the pace steady without making us feel rushed. Gyubee is one of those places where the experience is just as important as the food. The combination of grilling at the table, quality meats, good sides, and a fun group atmosphere makes it a great choice for a longer meal with friends or family. It is worth planning ahead for the wait because the meal itself delivers the kind of relaxed, interactive dining experience that makes you want to come back. The format encourages you to slow down, cook at your own pace, and enjoy the meal as a shared activity rather than just a quick dinner.

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.
