We tried a bunch of different skewers and every single one had a great balance of spice and seasoning.

To balance it out, we ordered the sauerkraut soup, and it was the perfect palate cleanser light, tangy, and refreshing after all the rich and spicy dishes. Service was fast and efficient, which was appreciated since the place gets busy fast, especially during dinner.

Tip: This eatery is on Fantuan…read more Last Friday, I was looking at my Fantuan app. It had a daily deals section. The deals were amazing! The one that caught my attention was liangpi with beef skewers for $10.99. It sounded perfect for dinner. After I was done working from home, I ran a few errands before heading over to The Dragon BBQ Bar. This location is roughly a five-minute drive from where I live and is a good block away from Pacific Mall. This eatery is where a Fishman Warf Seafood used to be. When I moved to Markham with my parents after graduating from high school in Toronto, this location was a Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) store. It looks like over time, at least three smaller retail units, including the former KFC, ended up being merged into the large eatery space that this restaurant is today. I used to make a right turn into the plaza going westbound on Steeles Avenue East. This time, I decided to turn at Putnam Gate, look at Harvest Moon Park, and enter the plaza through the back. It was cool to see what other businesses were with this restaurant. There were signs saying that it's two-hour parking at Harvest Moon Plaza. I was picking up my order, so this allotted time was more than enough for me. If you're dining here, two hours seems reasonable. I got an estimated time of 25 minutes for my order to be ready. It was more like fifteen minutes. It was fast. I got out of my parked car and walked into the eatery. There were a lot of neon signs and bright colours used in the decor. I looked to the right and there were three takeout orders where a podium was to greet folks. A woman came over to me. I let her know that I had a Fantuan order and rattled the last three digits of the order number to her. My food was ready. She handed me my plastic bag containing my dinner. I thanked her and happily left with my food. I then drove home. When I got home, I had my dinner featuring these items: - Liangpi - Beef skewers - Arctic Ocean I will start with Arctic Ocean, which is a mandarin orange soda. It was yummy and fizzy. I spotted it on the beverage menu and said yes to trying it for the first time. I loved it, especially with the polar bear on the can. The Chinese name, 北冰洋, is literally Arctic Ocean. Sometimes, the translation is so messed up that I scratch my head trying to figure it out the discrepancy. Each character is meaningful to comprise the full name: - 北 = north - 冰 = ice - 洋 = ocean The Arctic Ocean is north and icy. Cool! Liangpi is a cold noodle dish with sauce. I only know the sauce to be a combination of sesame paste and chili oil. My only experience having it before this one was at Bingz. I've been told that there is a chili oil and black vinegar version of the sauce for liangpi. I have yet to try it. The rice noodles were flat and wide. I liked that they were fluid, and came with julienned carrots and cucumbers, and peanuts. The sesame paste and chili oil sauce required stirring. I then poured it into the container with rice noodles and stirred some more. This place was extremely generous with the sauce. I loved the liangpi so much. The noodles were perfectly slurpy in the sauce. It had the best set of textures. The cucumbers and carrots were fresh and crunchy. The peanuts had a nice roasted taste with a different version of crunchiness. The noodles were cold, didn't stick to one another, and cooked perfectly. It was a lot of fun slurping this part of my dinner. The barbequed beef came on exceptionally long skewers. They were carefully wrapped. Unwrapping them was straightforward. The beef on each skewer was tender and was packed it a ton of flavour. So good! I had a terrific introduction to barbeque at this eatery. I loved the liangpi. I'd go back to have this combo again, which was great with the Arctic Ocean drink. I'd also love to try more items on the menu. (354)

The Dragon BBQ is a solid spot if you're craving Chinese-style BBQ and skewers in Markham…read more We ordered a mix of skewers, seafood, and the steamed fish. The steamed fish was our favourite--fresh, perfectly cooked, and mild enough for our toddler. The skewers were tasty, with plenty of variety and reasonable prices.

Overall, a great place for a casual dinner with friends or family. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

There are so many southwestern Chinese BBQ skewer places now in the GTA, yet Miss Qu Barbecue and…read moreRestaurant remain packed on a Thursday night. They must be doing some right? Right....??? Is it the vibe? Maybe... Their signages tends to emphasize the restaurant being a fun hangout place for all (adults). And some of the menu items have names that's got salty, jealous ex-gf vibe written all over it. It's a bit cute if you understand Chinese. I don't know who Miss Qu is, but she's probably some Chinese version of Olivia Rodrigo. However, I'm not so sure the staff wearing funny hats with a silly plush animal on top of their heads actually fit the vibe. So even if you dig the vibe, the food has to be good, right? I personally do not find their skewers particularly good. First off the squid skewer lacked char. It was the first thing that came out, shortly after I ordered the food, so meaning they probably blanched it, rub the spice on it and then put it over the grill ever so briefly. I also ordered beef skewers and pork diaphragm skewers. After the heavy marination and spice, you could barely tell which meat is which. The beef was alright, but there's just a lot of fat in some of the skewers. The beef skewer actually had a string of fat that was almost half a finger long. I certainly don't mind fat on barbecue meat, but evenly distributed fat would be nice. I ended up throwing out the fatty pieces. The pork diaphragm, super salty. I'll just leave it at that. As with most southwestern Chinese skewers, all items are just marinated with the same spices, so most items would end up tasting around the same. I got to admit, this is not my preferred category of Chinese food, but I don't mind having this kind of barbecue skewers occasionally. If it were up to me, I'd pick a place that go a bit lighter on the spice, where you can actually taste the original flavours of the ingredients. Miss Qu, I've taken some time to think about the brief time we had together and I don't feel like this is going to work out. The sodium charged meat and artery clogging fat aren't healthy for either of us, and I need to step away from this restaurant. I wish you the best moving forward, but I won't be continuing to come back.

On this outing, my friend and I dined at 5885 BBQ Restaurant for the first time. As their name suggests, they specialize in BBQ (skewers) but their huge menu has tons of other choices. Not knowing their portion sizes, we indulged, or over-indulged to be more accurate. Here's what we had: · Spicy Pork Rib Skewer · Lamb Skewer · Beef Skewer · Chicken Skin · New Orleans Chicken Wings · BBQ Deep Fried Tofu · Pig Ear and Onion Salad · Northern Style Sweet & Sour Pork · Kung Pao Chicken · Yung Chow Fried Rice · Golden Corn Pancake Being unfamiliar with their portion sizes, we ordered several dishes, thinking they would have been small servings, like a lot of sushi restaurants. We were so wrong! We ended up with a ton of food! Everything tasted great, although some of the dishes were a bit too spicy for my friend. Needless to say, we took home a lot of it to enjoy later. This place is worth a visit. check them out at 3278 Midland Ave, north of Finch.

I had high hope for this place when I saw that they had a wide variety of grilled vegetables on the…read moremenu (chives, cauliflower, okra, snow peas, cabbage, different types of mushrooms, etc.), but it was a disappointment. All the grilled vegetables were cooked and seasoned the same way - SUPER salty, and very saucy and oily. They seasoned everything with a lot of cumin which I liked, but I wish they weren't so salty. One good thing was that we were able to select the spice level (no spice, mild, medium, spicy) for all dishes. For most of the dishes we ordered, the spice level was accurate, but the stir-fried cabbage was still quite spicy even though we picked "no spice". The seasoning in the cabbage also didn't taste good at all. All of the grilled seafood were terrible. Grilled octopus was SO hard, rubbery, and hard to take off the skewer and chew (due to overcooking), and same with the grilled squid. All of them were overly seasoned and coated with sauce that didn't taste pleasant. The only seafood items that were decent were the steamed oysters and scallops with garlic. They came on the shells, were pretty big, and topped with a big scoop of minced garlic and vermicelli. The Shrimps & Eggs Fried Rice was okay too. This meal probably had weeks' worth of sodium. It also left an aftertaste afterward. It was nice to try, but I would not go back.
