The selections is still quite good on the offering and the quality is also good with great thin slices of meat, short ribs cut is good. Only down side is lack of seafood really. The staff is quite attentive in helping you with your orders and often change the grill too. Overall very satisfied with this place! This place is getting a lot more packed with people even late night... Its offering is from 9pm-1am but last call is 12:30am and they give you 1 hr and 45 mins to enjoy!

Their Late Night Specials are priced really reasonably too, which makes it even better. I really like the setup of the restaurant. For a BBQ place, the ventilation is surprisingly good. My clothes and hair didn't smell like smoke at all afterward, which is a win. The AYCE menu is huge: lots of meats with different marinades, sushi, tempura, and snacks. They also have a self‑serve area with salads, soups, desserts, and drinks, so there's always something to nibble on between grilling. Just don't come expecting an authentic Japanese experience. It's more of a Chinese‑Japanese fusion vibe -- even the sushi has Chinese‑style marinades and a bit of mala influence. Overall, it's a fun spot to hang out with friends. As long as you keep expectations realistic, you'll have a good time.

The beef was very well marinated I could eat the spicy beef all day it is pretty expensive and if you come with over a certain amount of people automatically 15 percent gratuity. The crème brûlée was pretty good. The short ribs were really good as well, but still the spicy beef is to die for.

Crispy on the outside and tender inside. 1/2 slab ribs dinner: should be 6 ribs - received 8 (a small size). Whoop! The meat was tender and good flavour. Cold slaw: on the sweet side but good. Cornbread: moist and good. Service was very attentive.

The restaurant itself not too many seats, but the booth that we sat in was quite comfortable. No complaints there. All over our food fit.

Basically fall off the bone no issues good smoke flavor through the entire thing. Overall, really good experience would come back and try the brisket in the future at the table. Next to us said some good things about that and the pulled pork.

The space is a bit tight and a little noisy. The food is a mix of Vietnamese tapas and classic dishes. I got the milk bread and spring rolls to start. The milk bread came with this durian butter which was interesting... the bread was nothing more than a dinner roll. I love the spring rolls and perfect starter for sharing. I had the pho and it was good. The broth is nice and well seasoned, though not as fragrant as others I have had. The fried chicken and mashed potatoes were a hit, the potatoes were so creamy. The chicken rice was average, probably wouldn't order again. The menu is extensive and so much I want to try next time. Sadly the service sucked, they were so slow in giving us menu, water, taking orders. No one checked up on us, and had to flag for the bill. I would come back once more to try their other dishes.

Tips: - The brisket burnt ends are on the dry, tough side…read more - This eatery is on Uber Eats. There's a Dickey's Barbecue Pit that I pass by often in a plaza on the southwest corner of McCowan Road and Bur Oak Avenue. I'm often here for Shoppers Drug Mart, FreshCo, and Tastee Patties. While using my Uber Eats app last month, I was in the western part of Markham and noticed that there was a Dickey's nearby. I saw that the competition plate was discounted by 20%. I went ahead and ordered it for takeout. The competition plate consists of brisket and brisket burnt ends. I got to choose two sides. It came with a buttered roll. I got these sides: - Coleslaw - Baked beans I got my estimated time to pick my order up. I took my time getting there. Over the years, I have seen a number of businesses come and go in this plaza. Before Dickey's established its eatery on Woodbine Avenue, just north of Highway 7, it used to be Rooster's, a men's grooming store. Most businesses in this plaza are food and drink. It makes sense to me why it didn't survive. I found a parking spot fairly close to Dickey's. I backed into the spot and then walked in. I was the only customer in the eatery. A friendly man came out of the kitchen. I indicated that I had an Uber Eats order. He nodded and got my food for me. I thanked him and happily left with the goods. I drove home and ate everything for dinner. The competition plate was smaller than I had expected. Mind you, I've been spoiled having Crosstown BBQ's proteins for the last few months. The portions are generous at the latter. I realize that photos are deceiving. On Uber Eats, the brisket was sliced. My brisket looked like it was chopped up for someone who wears dentures and can't handle chewing thick slices of it. I don't know if the brisket was extremely tender that I got it in shambles. It was strange. The brisket was good. I didn't need to chew it much. It had good flavour. The brisket burnt ends were disappointing. They were definitely burnt to the point where all the moisture was missing. They were tough and not enjoyable to eat. I recommend passing on them unless you enjoy chewing on tough meat that worse than jerky and trying to hydrate it with your beverage. I liked the coleslaw. It was crunchy and mayonnaise-based. The dressing had good flavour. I got the baked beans. They were okay. They reminded me of opening a can of baked beans and seeing a small little fat cube. It didn't taste homemade. I don't mind canned baked beans, but I was expecting more ordering it from an eatery. Maybe the Dickey's sandwiches BOGO deals would be better. I should give this place another try, but I wouldn't get the competition plate again. (299)

I was in the plaza where Dickey's is so got curious and picked up a 3 meat plate. Upon stepping…read moreinto the establishment, their menu was overwhelming and I really didn't know what I should get as a first timer. I figured a 3 meat plate lets me try multiple items all at once and is perfect for sharing. The 3 meat plate comes with your choice of any 3 slow smoked meats, any 2 homestyle sides and bread. I opted for a brisket, sausage, and chicken breast - which was highly recommended by the worker there. Got a slaw and macaroni for the sides. Tbh, I thought it was quite disappointing in both portions and taste. The sausage had a mushy texture, chicken didn't really have much flavour and definitely not a must get as suggested by the worker, and brisket was dry. I understand the $30 price point, since smoked meats aren't cheap, however it really did lack the flavour and smokiness overall for a bbq spot.

Between the two well-known Chinese BBQ spots in First Markham Place, it was tough to choose, but we…read moreended up going with HKS. Both had long lineups around lunchtime, but I liked that this spot offers the option to pair your meats with either noodles or rice. The duck was meaty and plump, with beautifully glistening skin. The roasted pork was perfectly seasoned, featuring that addictively crisp, crackly skin. The BBQ pork was equally impressive, tender and juicy with a glossy, caramelized exterior that balanced sweet and savory flavors really well. None of the meats felt overly fatty or heavy, and when paired with steamed cabbage and your choice of noodles or rice, it made for a really satisfying meal. The vermicelli noodles were thick and chewy, and they come with a side of broth in addition to the soups. The soup itself was light with a pleasant herbal note. The noodle broth, however, had great chicken flavor but was slightly too salty for my taste, so I ended up diluting it a bit to fully enjoy it.

Located inside the first markham food court…read more The parking can get crazy on weekends so pack your patience and get ready for a hike to work up your appetite. There has been a long debate as to left or right BBQ shop to reign supreme. I find the flavourings of HKS to suite my taste buds more. Not to say Excellent is bad but just not what I was brought up with. To each their own. The combo prices have slowly crept up over the years from the 5.99 two meal combo to the current 9.99 price point I enjoy the BBQ pork and duck as the pork has a nice meat texture with crisp skin along with the duck that is meaty and not too fatty with a nice seasoning to infuse through the meat while roasting. The shop is in a food court and if you are looking for a romantic meal for 2... this may not be your ideal destination. If you are looking for more of a HK hustle and bustle with a side attitude if you take too long to go with your meal, this is the place for you. Do prepared for a long queue to get your meal during the prime weekend times that may be up to 40+ minutes to get your meal
