I really enjoy coming here and have been many times! I always order the crispy Eggplant and if you never tried then you are definitely missing out. It is a difficult dish to master and a lot of work actually goes into it to make it so crispy and delicious. Everything else we order was very good too. My favorite skewers would be the shrimp and squid. Just writing this review makes me want to go back again! Not to mention, service here is very quick and there is a decent amount of seating. Very good place for lunch and dinner! read more

First time at this restaurant, service was excellent Food was really good, portion was big but sichuan food is a bit oily. The clam was very delicious, well clean and no dirt and the pork was very juicy and tender Also ordered some skewers which I forgot to take pictures of. The cabbage skewers were good but I think it's too sweet a little more dry and more cumin would perfect the taste. read more

This place is always busy, and the vibe really works. It is certainly a fun spot to catch up with friends over skewers and beer. You can tell it is quite popular, because the atmosphere is lively and the crowd seems genuinely into the whole experience. But from a food perspective, though, it's not fully my cup of tea. The skewers are heavily spiced and quite salty, and that combination can be a bit overpowering if you're looking for more balanced flavor. Also, the skewers are rather skinny, so even when you order a number of them, yet it still doesn't feel like you're getting much to eat. It almost feels designed for "munching" alongside drinks rather than being a satisfying meal on its own. The restaurant clearly isn't worried about that as people who enjoy China-style skewers will probably love it. For me, the flavor and portion style just did not make it that enjoyable. So, it's definitely a YES if you come here for catching up with buddies and looking for beers and munches, and it's a big NO if you expect getting some decently cooked dishes with fresh ingredients. read more

I stopped by Miss Qu BBQ with a friend on a weekday evening after work and it was exactly the kind of meal we were craving after a long day. We ordered a variety of skewers to share, including the lamb, beef, spicy cabbage, and squid tentacles. Everything came out fresh, well-seasoned, and packed with flavour. The lamb skewers were especially tender, while the squid tentacles had a great smoky char from the grill. We also got the grilled scallop with vermicelli, which was loaded with garlicky flavour and cooked perfectly. My absolute favourite, though, was the fried eggplant. If you've never had it before, think of it like eggplant fries... crispy, light, and ridiculously addictive. Honestly, I could easily order a container of those to-go and snack on them at home. They were that good. One thing I really appreciate about Miss Qu BBQ is that you can adjust the spice level on most dishes when ordering. Since Szechuan cuisine is known for being spicy, it's nice that everyone can enjoy the flavours regardless of their spice tolerance. What surprised me was how quickly the restaurant filled up. We arrived after work on a Wednesday and it wasn't too busy at first, but within a short time the place was packed. It's always a good sign when a restaurant draws a crowd in the middle of the week. Overall, a great spot for skewers, shared plates, and catching up with friends. I'll definitely be back, and probably ordering that fried eggplant again. read more

Delicious Chinese skewer spot in Markham! So good that I came back twice in 3 weeks! This spot is always busy so you should probably make a reservation in advance as the spot is quite small. All the foods here you're able to pick your spice level. Here's what we got: Cucumber side dish 4/5 - Pretty good side dish to share. Pretty standard. Chicken skin 5/5 - LOVED this as the skin was very crispy and delicious. Lamb and beef skewers 5/5 - Both of these were a score for me. I loved these, it had great fat to meat ratio and had a nice taste to it. Stir fry hand cut noodles 5/5 - Chewy noodles that were perfectly fried with cabbage and meat. Great for sharing. Fried eggplant 5/5 - Probably what they are most known for. Everyone raves about this candied eggplant dish, and although it was very good, it does get heavy to eat since it's sweet. Century egg + eggplant 10/5 - I absolutely LOVED this appetizer. They bring it out for you to see it first before asking if you'd like them to mash the ingredients together. It's not the most appetizing look to a dish but the flavours are well blended, delicious and the perfect amount of spice. Cabbage 5/5 - Perfectly seasoned and delicious cabbage on a stick. Chives 5/5 - Great amount of chives served that was well seasoned and tasted delicious with any meat skewer. Overall, loved this spot and will absolutely be bback for more of the appetizers and skewered meats. read more

Nothing here ever misses. The skewers are always cooked and seasoned perfectly, and the grilled scallops are an absolute flavor bomb, especially if you're a garlic lover like me. The golden fried rice is a great complement to the skewers, helping balance out the bolder flavors while still being lightly savory and satisfying. If there's one must-order dish, it's the fried eggplant. It's a deceptively difficult dish to get right, but they absolutely nail it. The outside is crispy and beautifully caramelized, while the inside stays soft and tender. Think sweet potato fries, but even better. The staff are all super welcoming and friendly. Food is served super quick too. Overallall a very cute spot, whether ita for lunch, or late night beer and skewers. read more

We wanted to try something different since we always eat Cantonese cuisine and we heard this place was very popular for their skewers. We came around 8pm on a Friday night and it was around a 40 min wait. We got a variety of beef skewers, chicken, the squid, sausage and scallops. Scallops are huge and flavorful. The smashed cucumber salad was refreshing and pairs well with spicy food. Will try more of the dishes next time rather than skewers. read more

Great Sichuan Cuisine place! It has nice decor and attentive service. The place was busy but was still kept clean. Kung Fu Hot Spicy Boiled Beef - It's like a sliced beef stew with chickpeas and pickled Chinese cabbage, added some numbness and sourness to the dish, very tasty. Geleshan-Style Spicy Chicken - The chicken portion was quite generous, unlike other places where they have 80% dried chili peppers and only 20% chicken. Spicy Duck Blood And Tofu - It's an upgraded version of Mapo Tofu; it added duck blood as well which I love. Goes perfectly with the rice. Soy Sauce Meat and Vegetable Fried Rice - Amazing. The rice itself had a sweet kick, with a lot of seafood and veg in it. Highly recommend if you like soy sauce fried rice like me. Trio Of Stir-Fried Vegetables - Very authentic veggie dish. Overall a great Chinese restaurant. I'd love to come back again to try other dishes. Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 4.8/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - NA/5 Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 4.5/5 Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 4.7/5 Value (quality vs. price) - 4.5/5 OVERALL - 4.63 read more

Overall, it wasn't bad, but nothing food wise really stand out to me. I did appreciate the wide variety of dishes available, including the different fish, rice, vegetables items. As someone who loves spicy food, i really enjoyed the spicy numbing fish I also liked that there were noodles at the bottom, though they felt a bit overcooked and too soft. The skewers were good, and I liked being able to choose the spice level. Service that day wasn't great, even though it was a weekday so it wasn't as busy, no one refilled our water, and the food come out a bit slow. I really liked the interior, which gave off strong China street food vibes. Overall, I'm just not sure if I would come back. But honestly it might be because my friend hyped it up so much so my expectations were higher than usual and that's why it fell flat for me read more

Made reso for my group of six. It's not a big place and the place was busy. We still had to wait 30 minutes for our table on a Friday night. However the skewers were good. The crispy deep fried eggplant was the hit of the night. The stir fry clams were good if you love the hot numbing spice. I know lots of people love it but I'm not a fan of this spiciness. read more

Long wait! I guess the plastic chairs in front the store is the giveaway. We finally got inside after more than one hour (which I would never do but the people in my party wanted to wait). The service once inside was great and attentive! The food was quite good but nothing special. I can get this at many other places. The one saving grace is their fried egg plant which is unique and in my mind the reason you will come back. I think I will just plan to come later so I don't have to wait. read more

Was pretty hungry, and most places close pretty early in Markham/Richmond hill area, so we decided to have some Chinese skewers. The inside looks very nice and promising as there were already people eating so late (midnight snack). Ordered a whole bunch of items through my phone from their QR code, and luckily there was English for you to know what you're ordering! Food came out very fast, as I thought skewers would take some time to cook. Seasoned very well especially the lamb; as I don't like the gamey taste, but these lamb skewers had none of the gamey taste and just delicious flavour. It also had enough fat where it wasn't fatty, and very moist. Would definitely come back when craving hits again. read more

I enjoyed a lovely dinner here with friends. The service was excellent, and the portions were satisfying. We especially liked the fish and the cauliflower dish, both flavorful and well prepared. I'd love to try their BBQ next time as it looked amazing. It does get quite crowded during dinner hours, so expect a lively, bustling atmosphere. read more

Nicely made delicious food, good service, nice ambiance, convenient parking. The menu offers quite good choices, from cold items to grilled and other options in between. However we ordered from grill menu only (as we were tempted by the pictures before we decided to head for this place). We had beef skewers, tender lean beef, grilled squid, grilled chicken hearts, bamboo skewered fish, mushrooms with garlic, Eggplant with Garlic Vermicelli. Their milk-flavoured bread is amazing (eat it while it's warm). Some items might be quite spicy, like grilled squid and eggplant vermicelli, but nicely prepared and fresh. Just for a price estimate, the linner cost us $90 for 2 persons. read more

Located at Commerce Gate Plaza on Hwy 7. This BBQ shop is quite A-OK! Once you step in your senses are in overload with all the BBQ teasing you. There are many seating options and the wait was very acceptable. You order the food via thr QR code. Thr food is a little slow to come out but very we'll flavoured. Hopefully in their soft opening period they get their kitchen timings down to allow for a better dining experience. The stir fried dishes were all well seasoned. The BBQ skewers were on point and definitely grilled vs many shops that deep fry their skewers. The meats are fresh and very tasty. Will need to try out many more dishes next read more

Food came out great and fast! Service was amazing and the draft beer was so refreshing! Definitely recommend it.

My husband and I were craving some Chinese bbq and found this place not too far from our hotel. The place was so busy! We put our phone number down and walked around the plaza. We waited probably 45 minutes to an hour before getting a call. It was so worth it! The lamb skewers were perfectly seasoned and so tender. The squid skewers were also a huge hit! (didn't get pictures) It was marinated so well and had a slight sweetness in addition to the perfect amount of spice. We loved it so much, we placed another order. We also got the bbq scallops, perfectly seasoned and topped with a mound of garlic and vermicelli. My husband was sad they didn't have oysters though, but the scallops were still good, so it made up for it. We also got stir fried clams with chili and that was absolutely amazing. The portion size and the flavor were good. The chives (not pictured) were also delicious and I've never had them made this way before. My husband also got an entire pitcher of beer for $8!!! We spent about $116 CAD after tip and were stuffed! It definitely hit the spot and satisfied all my cravings for chongqing food! Burned so good read more

We came here for a late dinner and were happy to find a decent place in the area that was still open after 10pm. Initially the service was very fast, with our lamb and squid skewers being delivered in minutes. They were both delicious, but I was a bit disappointed in how small they were considering the high price. Next we got the Miss Qu Spicy Fried Rice, which was a massive portion and good value considering all the sausage and shrimp in it. We also got the Trio of Stir-Fried Vegetables, which was a tasty way to add extra vegetables to an otherwise meat focused meal. Unfortunately our last few skewers orders took a long time to arrive and eventually I had to remind the servers about it. Overall it was an uneven experience between the slow service and high prices, but the food was still pretty good and not many other places were open that late as alternatives. read more

We love this place! The food is delicious. The crispy eggplant is amazing. The staff are very friendly and attentive.

First time visiting this restaurant, as I've been looking for another Chinese BBQ spot aside from my usual go-to, and it didn't disappoint. My friend and I came for dinner, and the food was great. Prices were slightly higher than some comparable places, but nothing unreasonable. The 1.2L of beer was a great deal, and we also enjoyed the seaweed soup, Miss Qu spicy fried rice, and a variety of skewers (lamb, chicken wings, beef, chicken gizzard, squid tentacles, and grilled gluten)--all were delicious. The restaurant was fairly packed, and by the time we finished, a small queue had formed. Overall, a great first experience with quick service and excellent food. read more

Miss Qu BBQ & Restaurant just opened this Monday at Commerce Gate. Let's start off with the ambiance, I really like the warm feeling and lighting. It was comfortable on a rainy, snowy day a soothing sensation. The waitresses were nice and friendly, well one or two of them and their caps have these little stuffed animals on it such as different colour dinosaurs! Now with the food, the Preserved Egg and Eggplant Stir-fried with Spicy was in a big mug similar to a mortar. Interesting unique concept and combination of ingredients, I ordered medium spice and it was spicy. I would describe it like a Chinese version of guacamole in terms of the presentation. You can pick your spicy level for most of the items, not spicy, medium spicy and very spicy, little salt, little sugar, no green onion, very detailed you just select it yourself on the app to customize. You scan and order on the OR code. I've also ordered a roasted seitan, a rich protein made out of gluten. I find this a little dry and lacks flavour even with the spice on it. The Taiwanese sweet sausage, I find it a little too sweet for my palate. Scallops with garlic vermicelli (4p) usually one of my go to items that I order at these skewer spot but this one the vermicelli was dry and overcooked. The shrimp wrapped in chicken skin, the skin was not crispy enough. It was a small shrimp wrapped inside the chicken skin. I thought it would be shrimp paste. The Ecstasy Bamboo Stick Fish tasted decent but did not look thin like the photo on the menu. The Crab roe tofu the consistency, I find it a little watery, not thick enough. Alcohol is ready and available from beer to yogurt flavour soju. As of now, if you pay cash 10% off. Overall, I will give this restaurant 3.5 stars. read more

I enjoy the atmosphere and enjoyed the food. I like how they have a specific heater for your skewers but it didnt really keep it warm... they had room to put 3 candles but they only lit 1. Good luck to you if you have an older gal serve you cause she didnt wash her hands after the restroom... and she went to the kitchen after... although she didnt bring any dishes out but im not sure if she washed her hands after in the kitchen... its a lil concerning wondering why she didnt wash it in the first place read more

New restaurant in commerce gate that we have been wanting to try for a while. This restaurant always appears busy during weekend dinner times, so we came at off peak times on an early weeknight. No waits to get seated, quick food prep, attentive service. Since it was off peak, we got to enjoy our dinner at a relaxing pace. The menu has family friendly options (variety of meat and or vegetable dishes, some spicy and non spicy dishes). At ordering, options of different level of spices are available. This place serves a type of cuisine (江湖菜） that is heavy in spices. I like that it is tasty without being drenched in oil. read more

Very good food, warm from the second I walked in. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area!

We can see why this spot is always so packed and thankfully we didn't wait too long during our visit. Favourite dish of the night was the clams - we didn't have many empty and closed shells. The salted egg sweet baked potato didn't have much salted egg yolk flavour but more of a sweeter taste. The skewers are a must order here. read more

Miss Qu Barbecue & Restaurant - Can't Forget The Dry Roasted Fish(White Fish), Stir-Fried Beef, Stir-Fried Escargot - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I cannot believe I am giving another 5. The food arrived hot and fresh, nothing was cooked under or over. One item came out at a time, but that's not unusual for a Chinese restaurant. All the meat skewers were delicious, cooked well and did not stick much adhere to the actual skewer. A dish of spice was included for dipping the meat. We ordered 2 fried rice, one hot and one not. Same fried rice, but one had hot sauce added during cooking. It was very good, perfect amount of soya sauce added. My husband loved it. The cabbage was nicely spiced and I appreciated that no Szechuan peppers corn husks were in the dish. I'm a little allergic. Be careful of the huge fresh pieces of garlic in the dish. Delicious but a bit of a surprise if you get 3 all at once. The shredded pork dish was very good as well. A huge serving for the price. Well worth ordering and a good deal. I found the lamb good. A couple pieces were a little tough and the underside on one piece was a little dry. Overall the best lamb in a restaurant so far. Service was good. A very slight language barrier. My husband doesn't speak a common dialect. The place is incredibly clean. I. Between customers all the tables and chairs are scrubbed . Overhead all the fixtures are dust free, even the windows are spotless. Some beer and pop is stored next yo a table, not really in the way. The only problem was the best before date on the beer was last December. Still it was good, light, refreshing beverage and a must try. The place was packed for lunch. A very busy spot. The tables and chairs are very low. I liked it because my feet could touch the floor. The furniture created a vibe I liked. We ordered a lot of food for 2 people, the manager came out to be sure we ordered all this food. We did. My husband loves leftovers. The portions were so generous he'll have at least 2 more meals. I loved the uniform's. The hat with the stuffy on it was cute. read more
