We appreciate that we recieved no reminders about the maximum dining time compared to out last visit. We easily maintained the time limit which was sucfficient and even finished prior to. We tried the platter to start and it was a great introduction to help decide what to choose from going forward. The meat is so flavorful and sliced so thin, they were so quick to cook. The sushi and and additional dishes (tempura,tataki and cheese corn) were an added bonus to have at a Japanesebbq. There was a salad bar surprisingly had little clams and lobster bisque in addition to sauces and salads. Actually ended up prefering the cold clams to the hot ones cooked on the grill in little foil tins. The drinks (hot and cold teas) and deserts (shaved ice, mousses and creme brule) were also at the grab and go buffet and were great.

The beef was very well marinated I could eat the spicy beef all day it is pretty expensive and if you come with over a certain amount of people automatically 15 percent gratuity. The crème brûlée was pretty good. The short ribs were really good as well, but still the spicy beef is to die for.

There is a lunch menu that is $30.99 but they allow you to choose the dinner menu also $42.99. The dinner menu has a bit more choices for each section eg. Dinner menu has shrimp and veggie tempura where the lunch menu doesn't not have. You order the food via QR code for your phone . The customer service was great, everyone was friendly and explained the process on how to order and portion size. The waitress kept returning to fill up my water. The food was good also, I really enjoyed it. We were there from 12:30 and stayed until 3:15pm. They didn't rush us to leave. With the bill, I appreciated they let us know that tips were included in the total price. I enjoyed my lunch!!

Can be a little dry but good. With the sauce, it made it great. Received 9 wings for the pound. Fries - very good. Crispy on the outside and tender inside. 1/2 slab ribs dinner: should be 6 ribs - received 8 (a small size). Whoop! The meat was tender and good flavour. Cold slaw: on the sweet side but good. Cornbread: moist and good. Service was very attentive.

The restaurant itself not too many seats, but the booth that we sat in was quite comfortable. No complaints there. All over our food fit. Ribs - 8/10 very nicely, smoked ribs not fall off the bone and it was slightly salty. But definitely hit the spot. Wings original smoked- 9/10 very good wings. If only it wasn't as expensive. Basically fall off the bone no issues good smoke flavor through the entire thing. Overall, really good experience would come back and try the brisket in the future at the table. Next to us said some good things about that and the pulled pork.

We ordered the milk bread with house butter and durian butter. If you like durian, you will like the durian butter! We also got the spring rolls which were great. For mains, we got the crispy hai nam rice which is exactly what it sounds like. It's Hainanese chicken rice but with crispy chicken and it was pretty good. Chicken was a tad dry though. The pho was also good, it is very similar to Nam's pho if you have already tried their pho. Overall it was pretty solid!

It was my first time here and I told them what I usually like and how big/small my appetite was at the time and they recommended the Classic sandwich, which turned out to be quite good! It was moist and tender. I wasn't sure which barbecue sauce I would like and they gave me one on the side to try too on top of the one I chose. The only thing was that as a first time customer, it was a bit confusing regarding what to choose and the screen they had was difficult to see. One of the servers actually told me that they kept telling the manager or boss to change it and they offered a more eye-friendly menu for me to see at the cashier area.

Tips: - The brisket burnt ends are on the dry, tough side…read more - This eatery is on Uber Eats. There's a Dickey's Barbecue Pit that I pass by often in a plaza on the southwest corner of McCowan Road and Bur Oak Avenue. I'm often here for Shoppers Drug Mart, FreshCo, and Tastee Patties. While using my Uber Eats app last month, I was in the western part of Markham and noticed that there was a Dickey's nearby. I saw that the competition plate was discounted by 20%. I went ahead and ordered it for takeout. The competition plate consists of brisket and brisket burnt ends. I got to choose two sides. It came with a buttered roll. I got these sides: - Coleslaw - Baked beans I got my estimated time to pick my order up. I took my time getting there. Over the years, I have seen a number of businesses come and go in this plaza. Before Dickey's established its eatery on Woodbine Avenue, just north of Highway 7, it used to be Rooster's, a men's grooming store. Most businesses in this plaza are food and drink. It makes sense to me why it didn't survive. I found a parking spot fairly close to Dickey's. I backed into the spot and then walked in. I was the only customer in the eatery. A friendly man came out of the kitchen. I indicated that I had an Uber Eats order. He nodded and got my food for me. I thanked him and happily left with the goods. I drove home and ate everything for dinner. The competition plate was smaller than I had expected. Mind you, I've been spoiled having Crosstown BBQ's proteins for the last few months. The portions are generous at the latter. I realize that photos are deceiving. On Uber Eats, the brisket was sliced. My brisket looked like it was chopped up for someone who wears dentures and can't handle chewing thick slices of it. I don't know if the brisket was extremely tender that I got it in shambles. It was strange. The brisket was good. I didn't need to chew it much. It had good flavour. The brisket burnt ends were disappointing. They were definitely burnt to the point where all the moisture was missing. They were tough and not enjoyable to eat. I recommend passing on them unless you enjoy chewing on tough meat that worse than jerky and trying to hydrate it with your beverage. I liked the coleslaw. It was crunchy and mayonnaise-based. The dressing had good flavour. I got the baked beans. They were okay. They reminded me of opening a can of baked beans and seeing a small little fat cube. It didn't taste homemade. I don't mind canned baked beans, but I was expecting more ordering it from an eatery. Maybe the Dickey's sandwiches BOGO deals would be better. I should give this place another try, but I wouldn't get the competition plate again. (299)

Between the two well-known Chinese BBQ spots in First Markham Place, it was tough to choose, but we…read moreended up going with HKS. Both had long lineups around lunchtime, but I liked that this spot offers the option to pair your meats with either noodles or rice. The duck was meaty and plump, with beautifully glistening skin. The roasted pork was perfectly seasoned, featuring that addictively crisp, crackly skin. The BBQ pork was equally impressive, tender and juicy with a glossy, caramelized exterior that balanced sweet and savory flavors really well. None of the meats felt overly fatty or heavy, and when paired with steamed cabbage and your choice of noodles or rice, it made for a really satisfying meal. The vermicelli noodles were thick and chewy, and they come with a side of broth in addition to the soups. The soup itself was light with a pleasant herbal note. The noodle broth, however, had great chicken flavor but was slightly too salty for my taste, so I ended up diluting it a bit to fully enjoy it.

Located inside the first markham food court…read more The parking can get crazy on weekends so pack your patience and get ready for a hike to work up your appetite. There has been a long debate as to left or right BBQ shop to reign supreme. I find the flavourings of HKS to suite my taste buds more. Not to say Excellent is bad but just not what I was brought up with. To each their own. The combo prices have slowly crept up over the years from the 5.99 two meal combo to the current 9.99 price point I enjoy the BBQ pork and duck as the pork has a nice meat texture with crisp skin along with the duck that is meaty and not too fatty with a nice seasoning to infuse through the meat while roasting. The shop is in a food court and if you are looking for a romantic meal for 2... this may not be your ideal destination. If you are looking for more of a HK hustle and bustle with a side attitude if you take too long to go with your meal, this is the place for you. Do prepared for a long queue to get your meal during the prime weekend times that may be up to 40+ minutes to get your meal
