We were craving skewers and came here for skewers! Great selection of skewers at very reasonable prices. Everything was pretty delicious including their side dishes such as Sweet and Sour Pork. Interior was smaller than the North York location but very nice with a small fish tank area in the middle of the restaurant. Was not the biggest fan of some of their late night special items but would come back for everything else. Service was lso very attentive and quick. This place was very busy on a weeknight and probably even more busy on weekends so would recommend making a reservations. read more

Came with my family earlier this month after making a reservation for Friday. Upon entering, the restaurant was packed with possibly 20 other groups waiting for a table. They were unable to find our reservation (in which they only asked for a number, no name), even though we called half an hour before to confirm we could arrive 15 mins late. Luckily, after showing them the call logs, they found us a table within 5 mins. The assortment of skewers we tried were all seasoned well, with our favourites being the lamb shoulder and the beef chuck for the fattiness and chew. We also tried the lamb and beef brisket, pork belly, and Szechuan pork ribs. We ordered the sesame lamb, but after following up on the wait time, were informed they no longer had it. Later near the end of the meal, they told us they actually did have it (very hectic). Aside from the meat, we also got the Ham & Cilantro bean curd rolls (okay), the garlic eggplant (super flavourful and fragrant, even non-eggplant lovers were converted), and the cabbage skewers (super tasty). The cold wheat noodle soup with beef shank came with a decent amount of toppings, and the tomato and beef brisket stew had a nice tang to it. At the end of our meal, we asked them to bring out the cake we had brought and the server asked if we wanted the birthday song to which I said yes. However, another server arrived with it in the box with no serving plates or song. They apologized when they realized and we asked to redo it. They also ran out of dishes and were rushing to wash them. It appeared that they didn't have enough staff and dishes to accomodate the number of customers. Overall, 5/5 for the price and food, but 3/5 for the service that night. read more

In the burgeoning Chinese BBQ and Beer scene Street Grill Bar is tops! All you need to do is hang around the Baldwin strip like me and you will notice it as being packed every night. That's because of value and quality. Check out that deal on skewers, $3.99 for lamb, sign me up! And a pitcher of beer for $7.99 wowsers! It doesn't get any better than that. And on top of that the place is well run (not only cuz my friend works BOH either), clean and has great aesthetics. That special last time I checked was from Sunday to Thursday and I'm not sure of the hours but I'm sure you'll figure that part out. A few foodie friends already knew about it as soon as I mention it, like the guy running Tiger Bar across the street, he goes "oh we just ate there last night, love those little spicy clams" etc etc, as well as my friend Ping at Cheese Magic, they all seem to know. So what are YOU waiting for, go check this place out, they are the good ones there working for you! read more

This place has a fun Izakaya vibe, the interior is cutely designed; they have amazing dishes, very authentic and good portions too; we tried a bunch of their skewers: beef, lamb, chicken, mushrooms... all were juicy, tender and well seasoned. This place is popular, people had to wait in line, luckily we made reservations, so that was easy! read more

Street Grill is by far my favourite Chinese skewer spot in Toronto and I visit their North York location often. So when I saw that they opened downtown Toronto on Baldwin I had to check it out. There was a wait and they give you a call once your table is ready. Don't be fooled here though, their menu is different than the North York location. A lot less options to choose from especially when it comes to their drinks. My favourite passionfruit corona slushie drink was not available at this location, but I found that they had a lot more mixed cocktails. I came back twice within 2 months and the second time around, they changed the ingredients/ taste of the drink I had the first time here and it was not it. Here's what we got: Jasmine Cucumber Gimlet 1/5 - First time I visited this location this drink was okay. Second time I came back the drink was very sweet and not to my palette. When explained to the server, they were very nice to try to fix the drink, but it really just came back more watered down. Not sure what changed within the two months of having this drink but it's a definite skip for me. Lamb skewers 5/5 Beef chuck 5/5 Chicken cartilage 5/5 Chicken skin 5/5 - All these above skewers were amazing and hit the spot with the bbq taste. Cooked to perfection, juicy and delicious. Town famous sweet and sour pork 5/5 - A must get! This was super crispy with the right amount of sweet and sour sauce. Great for sharing. Cold wheat noodle soup with braised beef shank 5/5 - A refreshing noodle dish that are great bites in between the meat skewers. Garlic scallops with vermicelli 5/5 - My absolute favourite. It comes in 2 per order, and with a mountain of vermicelli noodles. Overall still a great meal and spot to check out. However, I definitely prefer their North York location more. read more

It was so busy.. didn't want to wait 30-40 mins. Freezing .. but usually crowds means it's good . But I may never know. C'est la vie. Went across the street and got seat there not sure of the name of it but they were the restaurants on that side of the block that had covered out seating- like meat market clear plastic entrance way. Really kept the cold out. But I ordered the crap fried rice in there. And it was the best fried rice I've ever eaten. Can't tell my wife that. But it was absolutely amazing. Fresh, light, broken rice. Crab, egg, scallions, white pepper. Scrumptious! read more

This is their second location. A big difference is that this location has a full bar but the first location has no bar. We ordered the following: 1. Royal Prayer Cocktail 2. Tang On Rose Cocktail 3. Lamb Shoulder Skewers (4 pcs) ($6.99). 4. Teriyaki Beef w/ Tendon Skewers (4 pcs) ($6.99). 5. Pork Knee Knuckle Skewers (4 pcs) ($6.99). 6. Teriyaki Chicken Wing Skewers (2 pcs) ($6.99). 7. Pineapple Skewers (2 pcs) ($4.99). 8. Garlic Eggplant (1 pc) ($5.99). 9. Puffy Deep Fried Shrimps & Fries ($12.99). 10. Town Famous Sweet & Sour Pork ($17.99). 11. Flaming Custard Sweet Potato ($7.99). The customer service was excellent and attentive. For all their cocktails, they infused a flower with the alcohol so that the alcohol has a floral taste. My wife loved the Tang On Rose. The Royal Prayer was quite strong but she could handle it. The skewers were charcoal BBQed. Of all the skewers, I liked the Teriyaki Beef w/ Tendon and Lamb Shoulder the most. My wife liked the Pork Knee Knuckle the best. The Pineapple Skewers were so juicy! The eggplant of the Garlic Eggplant was good but I found the garlic portion spicy. The Fried Shrimp and Sweet & Sour Pork were quite good. The Flaming Custard Sweet Potato was quite a spectacle to watch as they light it at the table! The dish is Sweet Potato topped by Creme Brulee, a good combination! The vibe was quite nice. I like the little rectangular fish tank that is raised from the floor in the middle of the restaurant. There are many tables of different sizes and a few counter seats at the bar. They opened on 2025-03-13. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible (there are 2 steps at the entrance); the patio is wheelchair accessible when available. There are separate male/female washrooms, but they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-065 read more

We absolutely love this place! This is their location downtown. Super convenient on the popular Baldwin st. They offer a Chinese and English menu. Their skewers are well priced and delicious. My favorites are beef chuck, squid and lamb shoulder. Their beef sirloin may look attractive at 10 pcs per order but it's a small thin piece per skewer. The beef chuck is chewy slightly fatty and tasty.. but the fat is rendered down so it tastes good! Their squid is my favorite as well because it's seasoned well, good size tentacle and cooked well. Lamb and chicken are also classic must tries. There is a good amount of spice and fattiness w the lamb shoulder just enough to cover the gamey taste. All skewers come grilled and they leave it on a hot plate to keep it warm as you enjoy. The price is right for the portion size and it's easy to share with friends because they give multiple skewers per order unlike other places. Service is also excellent and the ambiance is nice with gray walls and black and wooden elements. Ps (haven't tried it myself but) if you come late at night they have specials!! read more
