    One year later, I'm still obsessed with this spot! This is our go to place whenever we're craving for some charcoal bbq. Since we've been here multiple times already, we're familiar with what cuts of meat we like and no longer have to get their beef meat platter. Also love that they currently have new BBQ dishes that are so good! Lemongrass Dai style beef plate 100/5 - LOVED this. This new BBQ dish was so packed with flavour and has the perfect beef marbling. So good we got this twice! Original Wang Galbi 5/5 - Delicious galbi with bone still on. Garlic Beef Plate 5/5 Sweet Soy Beef Plate 5/5 Qiquihar Special Meat 5/5 - Dish comes with cilantro, green onion and onion. Cold Noodle Soup 5/5 - This is a must get since it's so refreshing with all the BBQ meats. Korean style bibimbap 5/5 - LOVE this - comes with tuna and an assortment of other ingredients to mix together. Overall, I can't emphasize enough how delicious this place is. Their meats are high quality and I love that they're all marinated differently so you can really taste the difference in flavour. DIY sauce bar on the side. Great service as well - servers are always around to get you what you need. Definitely worth checking out for sure!

    10% cash discount. Not bad.

    The bbq grill restaurant offering REAL charcoal cooking that impressed from start to finish. Quality meat and striking presentation make each dish feel special. The food were real treats: smoky, good-seasoned, and grill to your personal choice of perfection (see my photos for examples). The meal extended delightfully into dessert with perfectly torched grilled marshmallows by yourself at the table. The servers are friendly and helpful. The lineup and ordering systems were prompt and efficient. Ambience is lively, with a fun street view from the second-floor windows and a buzzing interior that adds to the experience. Practical perks include complimentary small appetizer dishes, snacks & spice bar, tangerines, dessert with milky popsicle + grilled marshmallow (would be fantastic if it was S'mores, LOL), free parking, and at fair pricing with 10% cash discount (not 5% and it's rare these days...), all delivering excellent value for the quality served. It's easy to see why there are early lineups even on weeknights. Overall, I had a thoroughly enjoyable meal. Good experience. Flavorful, well-executed, and consistently satisfying. Highly recommended. A definite winner for anyone who loves charcoal-grilled cuisine, particularly with real charcoal but not merely with gas fire.

    Located on Yonge just south of Church street. There is a small parking lot and plenty of street parking around Use google site to save yourself a spot in line to minimize the wait The food here is influenced by China's north eastern province. The meats are fresh and flavourful. The bbq is charcoal powered for that extra taste! The shop is well laid out on the second floor with plenty of space to walk and move to get your sauces and extra goodies. There is an elevator up and aisle are plenty wide but the washroom may not be as kind to anyone in a wheelchair. The prices are competitive and enjoy the final marshmallow treat to toast up

    This place does bbq over a lit charcoal. And it cooks super fast! The place is super clean and has a nice retro decor. There's always a big bowl of clementines/tangerines beside the sauce bar (so many options) and shrimp chips to curb your hunger. The meat is always super fresh and their mixed rice with egg is a must get with the meat! My family loves pickled cabbage and they have a platter with pork belly! You need to cook them on a different type of grill so make sure you eat the other meats first or at the end.

    Meat platter for 3

    Had an epic time at Meataa 7 Charcoal BBQ in North York with my crew. We went for the meat platter for 3, loaded with pork jowl, lamb ribs, pork belly, kalbi, and finished with their kimchi fried rice - everything grilled to smoky perfection on the charcoal setup. Plenty of options of sauces. Complimentary chips and orange. The servers were super nice and hands-on; when it wasn't too busy, they helped us grill and kept walking around to flip the meats so we didn't have to stress. Portions were generous, flavors popped with that authentic Shenyang-style char, and the vibe was perfect for a group hangout. Definitely coming back for more late-night sessions - open till 3AM!

    The BBQ game in the city has definitely stepped up in recent years, and Meat AA7 is a top contender with its charcoal grill. They have a sauce station where you can create your own dipping sauce, but we quickly realized the meats were so well seasoned that we barely needed it. The corn cheese came out on a sizzling plate, keeping it hot and perfectly melty. It had a great cheese pull and made for a sweet and savoury appetizer. The beef platter offered a solid selection of cuts with nice marbling, a tender chew, and was more than enough for two people. The squid was one of our favourites, as it provided a nice break in both texture and flavour between all the fatty meats. It was light and had a great bite. The lemongrass dai style beef was excellent, with meat that was deeply and evenly marinated. The sweet sausages also worked well as a great palate cleanser, balancing sweet and savoury notes. We were really happy with our choices since they made the overall experience feel well rounded and enjoyable. By the end, we were completely full, but not in the uncomfortable, regretful way. To finish the meal, they give you marshmallows and strawberries on skewers. You can roast the marshmallow over the charcoal, dip it in the chocolate fountain (or do both). The strawberries dipped in chocolate were so good that we wished we had asked for more. They also let you choose a popsicle, either milk or banana ice bar. Both were a great way to end the night, though the banana was my personal favourite. Overall, great service, great vibes, and it gets busy quickly for good reason.

    Great charcoal BBQ spot on Yonge/Finch area where you cook the meat yourself, which makes the experience fun and interactive. The lemongrass beef was a standout -- tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. All the other meats we tried were also high quality and packed with that smoky, charcoal flavor. Portions come with side dishes, and the menu has a nice variety, so it's a great place to come with friends or family. Service was fast and friendly, and we never felt rushed to leave, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, perfect for a relaxed dinner. Overall, an easy 4/5, and I'd happily come back for another round of DIY charcoal grilling.

    Amazing value and flavor. They provide unlimited chips and tangerines. They also gave free popsicle and marshmallow at the end.

    Visited this authentic Chinese charcoal BBQ spot and had a great experience overall. The restaurant is located upstairs, so you'll need to take the elevator to get in. There was a decent selection of complimentary side dishes you can choose despite size of the place. I ordered the late-night special beef platter, and the quality of the meat really stood out. The cuts were well-chosen, flavorful, and grilled beautifully over the charcoal. To top it off, you can roast marshmallows at the end of the meal, which was a fun and unexpected way to finish. A solid choice for a satisfying and interactive BBQ experience, especially if you're coming later in the evening.

    I'll be honest. I thought we peaked with Japanese bbq. Shinta. Gyubee. But then came INDOOR CHARCOAL GRILLS. Where you PICK FROM A HOT POT SAUCE BAR. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I CAN SAY? Come here now. Not on a Friday or Saturday night. You will give up your girlfriend for it.

    My experience here was a solid 5 star. Really good food, fast service, and overall great vibes. The meat dishes were all super tasty and fresh. Grilling on the charcoal grill was fun and easy. They changed the plate quickly before anything stuck on or before they needed to really. The sauce bar was really good. I love their soy sauce whatever they use , I don't know how it tastes better than other places we tried. Seriously love their sauce bar here!!!! You can also get drinks from the fridge or a tall beer dispenser to drink beer with friends. The ventilation is amazing here and I literally don't smell like I went to a Bbq place at all. No traces of smoke or meat in my hair. You finished the meal off by roasting marshmallows, which was super fun. I also heard their rice dishes were delicious so that's next up on my list. After finishing dinner here, I wanted to come back the next day. That's how good it is.

    I love that smoky char you can only get from real charcoal and that's exactly why I keep coming back to Meataa 7. Every cut of meat was fresh, and well-marinated. I also really like the cheese corn here The staff were super friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. The ventilation is great too so no heavy BBQ smell on me after the meal, which is a huge plus. I also love that they're open late and have late-night deals. Perfect for late-night cravings or when I want that charcoal-grilled experience without the lingering BBQ smell.

    First time visiting here as there was always a long line up for this restaurant. (Now I understand why!) Birthday meat cake was absolutely worth it (It comes with a candle). The cake consists with beef & pork, so it was pretty good portion too. We also ordered assorted veggies that I really liked (forgot to take a picture haha) Inside was decorated like a market in northern part of China, so it felt like we're traveling somewhere in Asia :)

    (4.5 rounded up) Food: 5 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 5…read more It's been a long time since I last visited this location, and I was pleasantly surprised--it's now renovated and expanded to about twice its original size. Lots of seating is available, including comfortable 4-6 person booths. The only downside is that parking right on Yonge is very limited. The menu has expanded beyond katsu to include pizzas, wings, udon, and tteokbokki. The katsu was excellent with its light, crisp batter, and the special set came with a great variety of sides plus both rice and a small bowl of udon. The pizza and wings were also fantastic--we ordered the half-and-half pizza with the signature shrimbul (highly recommend if you like a little heat) and Korean bulgogi. The wings were flavorful and delicious as well. Service was decent, though we docked half a star because some drinks on the menu weren't available (only 2 out of the 5 beers listed). That said, we still had a great experience overall and will definitely be back!

Got the original chicken karaage boneless - I appreciate that it comes with 3 dipping sauces so you can try various flavours and not just stick with 1 flavour like at normal fried chicken restaurants. If you're not in the mood for Katsu, there's other itemskke karaage, baked chicken , rice cakes, or udon. They also serve pizza from Pizza Maru which operates from the same premise. However, the menu was hard to read. The service wasn't super friendly - I almost felt like they were hoping we didn't dine in so they can focus on take out orders. We were the only 2 people that were waiting for their dine in orders and the food felt like it came out slow. The ambiance was quiet. Lots of empty seats. Perhaps it was the day we went, but even if the restaurant isn't busy the atmosphere wasn't as welcoming. Ie, it felt like I wanted to quickly finish eating and leave asap rather than enjoy my meal with my company. Limited parking spaces, but is free.

But unfortunately, this time we got a bit disappointed. Platter was filled with cheap/frozen fries that I don't event want to put it in my system.

The server looks cute but doesn't seem to be knowledgeable when we had questions (and keep forgot our requests..) I support local businesses and hate to say this. But probably I may not come back anymore as now there are many other fusion bar options available in North York. *This is only personal opinion, and your experience might be different.

Just $6.99 for a plate of peanuts! The mains were shared. Deep Fried Spicy Chilly Chicken ($21.99) which consists basically of chicken knuckles with very little meat. The spice was delicious but it includes whole red chili's, which were a little over the top for hotness. Second was the Skewer Platter ($24.99). It was chicken knuckles, beef, pork. Good but lacked any real quantity of protein & was disappointing. Finally the last was the Yang Zhou Fried Rice ($15.99). This was the best of the dishes & the only one we fully finished. Service was good & fast but there was a mild language barrier. The menu itself was only available online so we missed some subtitles of said menu. We were the ONLY customers in the restaurant when we arrived. This is more traditional Korean Food & was definitely NOT to our liking. Mostly it came down to what we thought vs what we got. NOT a do over for me!

    I visited Baili expecting to have fusion food, but the menu may have changed because what I got…read moreseemed to be Chinese food, which reminds me of spicy flavours from Sichuan though maybe it isn't exactly that type of cuisine (spicy and numbing peppercorns, if you're into it). We ordered the spicy beef, assorted skewers, corn ribs, and finished off with a salted egg tiramisu. The menu seems kind of inconsistent and unfinished from when we went a few weeks back. Even ordering some menu items was a challenge, as it was only in Chinese, and we had to use Google Translate to understand what they were. It definitely did not feel like a full fusion restaurant, but more like a Chinese restaurant with a few items that were a bit more Westernized, like the corn ribs and a couple of dessert options. There was a ceviche option (we didn't order it), but it was really just sashimi cut into chunks, not the delicate, thinly sliced ceviche some might expect. However, the main thing that really drew me in was the salted egg tiramisu! It's a good tiramisu, don't get me wrong. However, I hardly tasted the salted egg component, it very well could have been a regular tiramisu, as the salted egg flavour was really subtle that I was questioning whether there was salted egg in there. We eventually did find the salted egg layer. The assorted skewers and corn ribs were tasty and I would recommend. The Hunan spicy beef had good flavour and also recommended by the waiter but was a bit too intense. Keep in mind, if you don't like coriander or think it tastes like soap, there is a ton stir fried in. It wasn't really to our taste preference in terms of spice level because there were a ton of numbing peppercorns in it, it was like eating a landmine trying to dodge them. We brought it home, and I picked out the zillion peppercorns and stir-fried the beef with some eggplant and a touch of sweetness and it worked so well. The menu left me a bit confused and unsure how I feel about this restaurant overall, as there wasn't one signature dish that made me feel like I had to revisit for it and of course getting burned with the peppercorns wasn't the best either especially when we mention less spicy but we should've specified less numbing (we didn't know it would be numbing though).

Everything was delicious and our servers just kept the sides coming haha. They took great care of us. My only complaint was that it was so hot in our booth... when you step away to the washroom, the restaurant is well ventilated and air conditioned, but at our booth, it felt like zero air flow, we were sweating so hard while BBQ-ing. Portion size is pretty fair for what you pay for as well. Pricing can be expensive for two people, but with a group it's very reasonable. 20260703
