Sides include coleslaw, brisket Mac & cheese, salad, vegetables, corn and roasted potatoes.

The staff are very friendly, so make sure to ask for recommendations as they can help you decide.

The dinner was a disappointment, far from the splashy ad on the internet. The brisket was tough,…read morethe back ribs dry with little meat on the bones, the pulled pork was acceptable, but the southern fried chicken drumsticks were delicious. We were told we would have two side dishes, which we assumed was per person, while it was intended for three persons. The contents of the two dishes were meager so we ordered extra. The server was very chatty and amicable and left us feeling that it was intended as a distraction. When we asked about the misleading advertising on the internet, we were told it dated back prior to COVID-19 and was no longer applicable. The Saturday dinner time attendance was low. We would not recommend this restaurant.

Tteokbokki is C$13.95, Japchae C$12.95, veggie kimbap C$12.95, Bab chicken C$15.95 (7 pieces), they charge you $2 to get the spicy sauce added to the app fried chicken. C$65.31 / $41.55. Their entree Bab Spicy sauce chicken is C$37.95 or $28, that's highway robbery for fried chicken to me. Worse if it's not out of this world good. It's rather unsettling. The banchans: cucumber, bean sprouts, fish cake and kimchi. The kimchi is crunchy and fresh. The Bab chicken with the spicy sauce is crispy and sauce is good, meat was tender too. Some fully intact tendon that looked like a worm coming out of the meat. I am done eating the chicken. The japchae comes with bulgogi beef. Potato noddles are hard to chew down. The tteokbokki is okay, rice cakes a bit too soft for me. Sauce isn't bad, has good heat to it. Comes with two dumplings. The veggie kimbap is mostly rice, quite weak for $10 for a roll. The round metal chopsticks are rather challenging. I prefer the metal flatter ones or wood. Staff are attentive. Food comes out quickly,

We really enjoyed the food. Would definitely recommend getting the Korean fried chicken or getting one of their hotpot as their portions are huge. We also got their Tteok bokki (rice cakes), the sauce was really tasty but a lot of their rice cakes were cracked or broken. Staff was nice and food came out fairly quickly! Would definitely recommend checking them out.

So this was my first time going to a Korean BBQ…read more It was pretty good. Ox tongue was the best. At a place like this to me it's more about the experience rather than the food. To speak to the food, it was bland. Not very exciting or special. But it was fun to cook.

U Shao was a first for me, in more ways than one. It was my first time eating Korean BBQ, and it…read morewas also my first time having to cook the food myself at a restaurant. I wasn't really feeling it. I expected the food to be pretty spectacular since I had to cook it myself. It wasn't. There wasn't really very much selection either. It was either shrimp, beef, pork, or chicken. There were some veggies too, they had asparagus and onion. None of the food was that great. Now, I don't know if the food wasn't great because I didn't cook it perfectly, or it just wasn't great meat, but I could have gone somewhere else and had a better meal, for less money, and I wouldn't have had to cook it myself either. One good takeaway from my experience at U Shao was kimchi. It was my first time trying it and I liked it a lot, that was the only thing I ate very much of. I didn't have to cook it either! First and last time I will be eating at U Shao. It was an experience I guess, and there is a first time for everything, so try it out if you must, but I can't recommend it.

Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, drizzled with their house sauce (I asked for medium) on a bed of seasoned rice. I had a side of coleslaw and potatoes, both was delicious. Creamy coleslaw with bits of dried cranberries was so good I could've eaten that as a main. Potatoes were cooked in a curry sauce and was flavourful. My brother had the chicken plate which he got spicy and it really delivered. I loved that it was chopped and easy to eat, no knife necessary. The chicken was juicy. He got the salad (sweet balsamic) and hummus, all house made and you can really taste the difference. The hummus had a smoky taste and a nice smooth texture. Overall 10/10, we would defiantly visit again!!

The space itself is divided into two rooms, one a little larger than the other which includes a bar with 5 taps that pour a selection of craft beer. A simple wine list with a good variety to choose from. The smaller of the two rooms is shared with the open concept kitchen where all the magic happens! The charcoal pit fills the entire restaurant with the mouth watering aromas of Charred's signature rotisserie chicken. The super hot coals lock the juices in creating some of the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had! The secret Piri Piri sauce that is paired with the chicken makes the whole culinary experience that much more delicious! Charred has a small, simple menu and it's a winner. The focus on a few items and they make sure that they do those items very, very well! I am already planning my next visit so that I can try their poutine that came highly recommended by the super friendly owner.
