    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.

    Meal for TROIS

    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 :)

The restaurant is located inside the Empress Walk Mall and they do offer free parking for 2 hours so make sure you validate your parking ticket before leaving. The inside of the restaurant was modernly decorated and seating was very spacious and comfortable. The washrooms were really clean as well and service was exceptional. The waiter came and took away empty plates, replenished water and replaced our grill plates in a timely manner. We ordered 2 Combo A's and 1 Combo B which was $15.99 and $19.99 respectively. Each combo comes with 1 appetizer, seasonal veggies, salad, rice, kimchi, lettuce, miso soup, dessert and the different types of meats that comes with each combo. Everything tasted quite delicious and honestly this was a ton of food for the price. They might've made a mistake and gave us 2 portions of their beef since we ordered 2 Chicken Combo's and 1 Beef combo but we somehow ended up with more beef than chicken. If I do had to nitpick, I would say that the pork belly and their beef slices were really thin but at this price, that is to be expected. Unfortunately for dessert, they didn't have soft serve so I opted for their creme brulee which was so soft, creamy and delicious. I just wished it was a bit bigger. I tried my coworker's mango sago and it was creamy with just the right level of sweetness and wasn't too tart. I would highly recommend this place for their lunch combos but it's only available between 12pm-4pm on weekdays. These combos are great options for people that don't necessarily want to do their AYCE menu but still want some Japanese BBQ. I'll definitely come back and maybe try their lunch or dinner AYCE. Overall though, it was a fantastic lunch and all 3 of us were really full.

Good Brothers…read moreunderstands that barbecue is less a meal than an event, and it stages one with easy conviviality: a table of friends, a few drinks, and a steady procession of skewers arriving as quickly as you can order them. The seasoning is the triumph here. There is spice, confident but never domineering, and real flavour in the meat rather than smoke standing in for it. The skewers are modest in size, which is a virtue: it invites grazing, and it encourages the table to be adventurous. Service is warm and notably brisk, so the rhythm of ordering and eating never falters. If there is a caveat, it is one of appetite arithmetic. Order generously, then order again. A thoroughly good time.

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.

That said, the price was still decent for a quick and convenient lunch. There isn't really any dine-in seating, aside from the counter by the front window, so this is definitely more of a takeout-style spot. The ladies working here were very nice and friendly, and they also spoke English, which made ordering easy. As for the food itself, I found the quality of the duck and roasted pork to be just okay. Nothing was particularly bad, but I wasn't blown away by the meat either. Overall, I think Kum Hong BBQ is worth considering if you're looking for an affordable and quick lunch, but based on my experience, I'd probably explore some other BBQ rice box spots before making this a regular go-to.
