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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Meataa Seven Charcoal BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - North York, Ontario

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. read more

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. read more

Meataa Seven Charcoal BBQ - Meal for TROIS - Barbeque Near Me - North York, Ontario

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. read more

Meataa Seven Charcoal BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - North York, Ontario

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. read more

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 :) read more

Meataa Seven Charcoal BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - North York, Ontario

I love the experience of table bbq, and this place was an enjoyable experience. It can get pretty chaotic inside and there isn't that much room to operate, so me ready for a lively atmosphere and to be close to your neighbor, especially during busy times. The charcoal experience was interesting. Hot coals are provided at the beginning of the meal for you to cook on. This will naturally generate some hot zones and cooler zones, so your grill master will need to observe and cook accordingly. Additionally, the coals will cool over time, and there is an additional cost for more coals. The food itself is tasty, but definitely on the pricier side. The beef platter for 3 was a great way to try a few different cuts. The vegetable platter was pretty visually appealing, but some of the veggies could take a while to cook. The make your own sauce bar was a nice way to customize your experience and switch up flavor profiles. Switching between a spicy dry mix and a dipping sauce was very convenient. read more

Went after a concert and everything was so good! Our servers were really nice and attentive to when we needed to change our grill. Food was really good and there was a good variety of options to choose from. The fried rice was a table favorite. All the meats were good as well. The DIY sauce bar was clean. Loved that there were cuties available to eat as part of the sauce bar. Place is clean and there were plenty of tables but it is a bit cramped. Small parking lot out front. read more

Very satisfied visiting this charcoal BBQ spot. We joined the waitlist a bit early and was able to secure a seat. Location is upstairs, access via elevator. The restaurant was really clean and service was excellent. The highlight was the large beef platter that we ordered which was very generous in serving size. The quality was good and there is also a excellent sauce and spices side table. It felt like a mixture of Japanese, Korean and Chinese BBQ all in one. Looking forward to the next visit! read more

First time trying and we were not disappointed. We got there just before 6 on a Friday. Wasn't busy but within half hour the place filled up and we heard them tell ppl it's 1.5 hour wait! Parking is very very minimal so look for street parking. It's on the 2nd floor. Very small lobby. The place is also not big. Small. And shareable tables if you have a small group. This is a Chinese charcoal grill. And it makes a big difference cooking on charcoal! It's so mjcn better and they vents that come right above the grill so there is zero smells. We tried both pork and beef and they are alll good thick cuts. We also ordered Kim chi pork belly fried rice and grilled corn cheese. Everything was delicious. The service was amazing too which just gave us the best experience here. Definitely going back read more

Recently has been my go-to spot for bbq. So much variety to choose from and every single dish was on point. The charcoal flavor hits perfectly and the meats there are fresh and packed with flavor. Service was fast and super friendly, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to! read more

Chinese version of Daldongnae (the Korean BBQ chain). The free Korean style sides were bad. Meat quality is ok and come marinated however the portion is very small since the meat were sliced extremely thin. The highlights were probably the sauces (DIY style like hotpot restaurants). Sauce quality was good including the salt & pepper (probably was stir fried in wok for flavor). Having charcoal BBQ is definitely a plus since most BBQ places are gas. 10% cash discount. No liquor licence for now. read more

I've been waiting for this Meataa seven charcoal bbq spot to open for awhile. They are just opened three days ago at the soft opening stage. There is a snappy code at the ground floor and second floor for you to scan and line up. For a table of two around 7:00pm we lined up for about a little less than an hour. The ambiance reminds me of being back in Asia, bbq located on the second floor with lots of signs. It does get a little smoky as the ventilation is not that great. This is their second location in Canada, the first one is in Richmond in Vancouver under different name. They will give you some sides such as bean sprout, kimchi, seaweed, mashed potatoes and lettuce to wrap the meat. My favourite was the black pepper beef fillet, it was tender and the black pepper marinade was tasty. The brisket one was too tough to my liking. The garlic beef was not bad. There is a sauce station with different spices, sauce, chips and tangerine. The pumpkin soup seems to be empty today. Since it's soft opening, alcohol and some other items like the eel were not available. The stuffed tofu was served on a skillet, it's not actually stuff but with a slice of pork underneath. I find the beef tasting much better than the pork platter that we order. I will be back to try other items! read more

Love MeatAA7! A la carte bbq has gotten less common and some days were not in the mood for AYCE, this is a great option for it. Their meat cuts are all great but the star is really the dishes. We love getting their rice dishes, they have one thats like an Asian tomato sauce with eggs and when you pop the yolks they make a great sauce (kind of like a shashuka). The charcoal grill gives a great flavor and the staff are super attentive. Love seeing the fat drizzle onto the charcoal and then seeing the smoke come up. Highly recommend, great for a group of friends! read more

Would I recommend? Yes if you like bbq, the charcoal bbq provides an enhancement to the taste of beef How's the service? the service was good, minus at the end they messed our bills, but the servers were very nice about handling it How's the food? food is good, the fried rice was not that great, but rest are pretty okay, not alot of choices of side dishes. How's the ambience? I think the dining environment was quite nice, well ventilated, nice designs, and being on the second floor beside the windows provided an okay view as well read more

Went here on a whim, food was tasty and plentiful. The lunch menu had a lot of meat for the price and was comparable to other kbbq places.

Man's service is very good and this dish is very appetising when it comes to the table, very aromatic, very attractive. The mouth is very crisp and smooth. The rich sauce envelops the ingredients, filling your mouth with sauce when you bite into it. And the material is very fresh, the amount is also very sufficient, and the cost performance is super high. I'll definitely come back next time I get a chance. The restaurant is in a good environment, very clean and tidy, the food is not only beautiful in appearance, but most importantly, the taste is very good, the color is excellent. The method retains the original taste of the ingredients, fresh and refreshing. And the choice of dishes is very much, the price is not high, suitable to take the family to go together. The taste is excellent, and it makes people feel very appetising at a glance, but the portion is not large, belonging to the more delicate type. The dishes are also very fresh, the taste is light and moderate, and the heat is just right. The food was served quickly. That is, the dining environment still needs to be improved, but the price is very affordable, and it will come once in a while. read more
