What's not to love - meat skewers (lamb or beef) for cheap! They do late nights promotions Sun-Thursday. 'Nuff said! Tucked into a corner in a plaza, this place is PACKED late at night - like line ups packed. Luckily got a table (it's 2 floors, don't let the outside fool you thinking it's a tiny place) Ordered a bunch of the lamb skewers and instantly fell in love. Which was surprising bc I'm not a fan of lamb in North America- it tastes too gamey for me. But not here! We just came for the skewers lol. Ordered a bunch, shovelled them in my mouth, and went home happy. I'll definitely be back. Definitely a fave with the area residents and students (Seneca is up the street) read more

Street Grill - Lamb skewers - Chinese Near Me - North York, Ontario

First time hearing about this place, as I came here for my birthday celebration. It's hiring in the corner of an ordinary North York plaza - you probably wouldn't notice it unless you were specifically looking for it. The inside is surprisingly spacious, with even a second floor. They specialize in Chinese BBQ skewers, with a great variety to choose from. The meat was fresh and tender, well seasoned while still letting the natural flavour of the meat come through. I especially liked the Juicy Crispy Chicken Bites and the Beef Top Sirloin. The Grilled Cabbage was surprisingly flavorful. The Supreme Seafood Rice was yummy too. It was covered in a rich seafood sauce, which I absolutely loved. The service was amazing. The staff member who looked after us, Evelyn, was super friendly and thoughtful. Even though it was a busy evening, she paid attention to our needs, made sure we had everything we needed, and even celebrated my birthday with us. She truly made this dining experience special, and definitely deserves a bonus :) Wish every restaurant had staff like her.

If you are willing to wait a while, the food and dining experience will be worth it. We arrived just after 6PM on a weekday Wednesday night thinking it will be a little less busy, but that was not the case. We still had to wait around 45 mins to 1 hour before being seated. Street Grill's interior and decor lends to it's theming as an old Asian alley where you get snack food from street vendors. I appreciated that the wall columns and dividers were intentionally chipped at uneven spots to fit that theme. You get a lot of variety with the available food options. They have beef, pork, lamb, chicken, seafood, and grilled veggies. The drinks also have their own separate menu with alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. In our 1st batch of orders, we had the Garlic Eggplant and Ham & Cilantro Bean Curd Rolls for starters. Both are good and safe recommendations for everyone. For the rest of the food, we had Beef Tenderloin, Lamb Brisket, and Pork Belly. All were seasoned and spiced just right. I particularly enjoyed having the Beef Tenderloin and Lamb Brisket. For our 2nd batch of orders we had a Shareable (Shrimps, Sea Jellyfish, Cucumber, Preserved Eggs, and Peanuts w/ thick sweet vinaigrette) order which we were not able to finish and had to take home. That mixed veggie shareable was good to cleanse the palate, but was a little too sour to finish all in one seating. The rest of the order we had the Grilled Steamed Bun and then we tried to go more exotic by ordering Spicy Duck Tongue and Jumbo Bullfrog. I loved the Grilled Steamed Bun. It was seasoned right and toasted to perfection. The Jumbo Bullfrog had just enough meat on it to pick out and eat. The Duck Tongue might not be for everyone. There is not enough of the meaty, fleshy middle layer to eat, and then the rest of it is the 2 wide, bony protruding structures. We were seated at a good spot by the upper level overlooking the rest of the dining area. There was a server standing just behind us ready for requests and taking our orders. The overall dining experience is great, but can be a little pricey. Communication might sometimes be a small issue. Some servers default to speaking in Chinese and there are times where it can be tricky asking them to identify what was the food they just brought out. read more

Great selection of skewers as always and this time we shared a dish of clams. Portion was very big and tasted great. Loved the local l brews as well :) Highlight was the chicken cartilage! We were able to make a reso by calling ahead and got seated in 15-20 min from reso time. Will be back again!! read more

Venue: 4/5 Street Grill is tucked into a corner spot in the no frills plaza near Seneca (beside the Service Ontario), so it's pretty easy to find and convenient if you're in the area. Since it's open late, it draws a lot of international students and late-night crowds, which is great for the energy, but it can definitely get noisy at peak hours. That said, there's plenty of space and it works really well for larger groups. Service: 5/5 Service was excellent. The staff were friendly, informative, and actually helpful when it came to explaining menu items and specials. Even when it got busy, they kept things moving and made sure the tables were cleared. They also speak Cantonese and Mandarin. Menu is in both Chinese and English. Food: 4/5 Portions are generous, and they've got solid beer and drink options to offer. The late-night specials on certain meats are a nice bonus, especially if you're coming in after usual dinner hours. Overall, great experience and a reliable late-night option uptown (last call 1h before close). You can also choose spice level for some of the skewer options and sharing is encouraged! read more

Street Grill - Skewers - Chinese Near Me - North York, Ontario

Be prepared for a bit of a wait when you come here. Even with a reservation, we had to wait an extra 30+ minutes. It's quite noisy and popular here. Food was quite oily here so just be prepared for that. We tried a few dishes and I'll go into detail below. I love that we can ask for the spice mix on the side to dip the meat into. Here's the breakdown with skewers first and side dishes last: Teriyaki beef skewers 5/5 - lovely and sweet! Very meaty and loved the sweet spices on top. Reminds me of those sweet little taiwanese sausages. Lamb Skewers 3/5 - really small pieces of lamb and more fat than meat. Didn't have a strong lamb flavour, but the spices were nice. Beef chuck 4/5 - meaty and well seasoned. Nothing special Pork belly (I won't rate this cause personally, I can't handle how fat it is) - tasted fine but I will say these were very tiny pieces Pork sichuan 2/5 - not really much in the spice department and meat was very small again Cold noodles with braised beef 10/5 - I LOVED THIS! Super chewy noodles in a refreshing, vinegar-y light and cold broth. This was so yummy I could order this over and over. I would come here to literally eat this and I was sad we had to share it haha! Fried dough with cabbage 5/5 - this tasted like shanghai fried noodles to me, but with a chewier texture. It was lovely, but it is very oily. Garlic eggplant 4/5 - SUPER oily but tastes yummy. With a MOUNTAIN of garlic on it, you may feel things later that night haha. But it was delish. I wouldn't say I tasted anything all that special and it was a very small eggplant for the price. Over all the value was okay. I think they could provide more meat and less fat pieces and give you more to eat on each skewer. Feels a bit skimped out on. The side dishes were bang on. I would say that if I did want to come back, I'd order a side or noodle to eat as a main and skewer maybe as a snack. I think most people come to eat mainly skewers and everything else as a side. Would definitely be open to coming back if I don't need to wait as long. read more

Street Grill North York is BUZZIN'!! Now we know why they are so popular. The food is fantastic, the staff are all very friendly and accommodating and the service is fast. We tried a variety of Northern Chinese-style skewers, Crispy Shrimp with Mango Glaze, Sweet Potato & Cheese and Tomato & Beef Brisket Stew. Everything was flavour-packed and in generous portion. I must say that this is our new favourite skewers spot! They are definitely worth a visit. The restaurant is spacious and has a lively atmosphere. They also have a designated spot for different drinks which we find so cool. They are located in a plaza and have plenty of parking spaces. read more

Unbeatable value and taste for a Chinese skewer place in the GTA. This is as close to $1 a skewer you'll get, and for decently sized meaty skewers as well. It's tucked away in a nondescript plaza in the Finch and Don Mills area, but once you walk in you're transported to a different place. The renovations are very hip and there was a busy vibe despite my visit being on a Monday evening. We went a bit crazy with the order, since everything was single digit prices except the veggies. For example, the lamb skewers were $6.99 for 4 - a great deal, and super delicious. I'd definitely recommend the cabbage (everyone was ordering it) and eggplant for side dishes. We spent $45 each inclusive of tax and tip, which is great considering the amount of food and drink that we ordered. Definitely could scale back next time. They have a decently generous cash discount. read more

Located in a stripped mall wasn't expecting that parking would be that full and the place is packed with people. Came by around 6:30 pm but was not able to get a table till 8:15 pm been waiting for almost 2 hrs because the host is jumping the lines. He noticed that I knew what was happening so he trietto bribe us with drinks on the house. Food is good nothing from the ordinary tasty smokey and not too oily. I find the food very pricey you can judge by the photos I have added for 4 skewers it's approx $12. The sweet n sour pork is good but with paper thin meat. It's a drinking hole or a dating place not recommended for a quiet family dinner. read more

Came here for a late night dinner. We got here about 9:20 pm on a weeknight but didn't get seated until about 9:45 pm. We ordered some skewers of cabbage and beef tongue and the stir fried clams and eggplant. We were also able to order the 10 pm special which was the beer pitcher and the beef skewers. Good price. Food tastes good but too much cumin spice in a night. You can't eat too much of this. The clams were good and the eggplant was good and the cabbage was good. The beef skewers and the beef tongue skewers were ok. Service was ok- what you would expect at a late night place. read more

Fantastic skewer bbq! Busy place with a long wait time even though they have two floors for seating. The ribeye beef tendon was seasoned really nicely. The juicy chicken pieces were crispy, tasty, meaty and definitely juicy! Their lamb shoulder was slightly crunchy but meaty. All their skewers were seasoned well and you can ask for different spicy levels. Their stews are huge and a good portion size! They bring out each item slowly. Their side dish foil packets are also good portion sized with heavy garlic flavors. There are so many items on the menu, I would go back with a larger group to try more items! Ps they have birthday specials! read more

Street Grill - Chinese Near Me - North York, Ontario

One of my top-listed skewer restaurants in Toronto! The interior design is stunning and full of character, every detail feels thoughtful and beautifully designed. From the warm wooden counter to the soft, classic Chinese-style lighting, the atmosphere is stylish and full of good vibes. The skewers were fantastic, perfectly grilled with that delicious smoky aroma and juicy flavor, plus the portions are generous. They also offer some really unique specialty drinks! I ordered a passion fruit special, and it was not only super refreshing but also beautifully presented, such a lovely surprise and perfectly matched with the skewers. The service was excellent, and the staff were all friendly and attentive, especially the male manager, who was incredibly polite, welcoming, and professional. His warm attitude truly made the whole experience even more enjoyable. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and atmosphere you get. Great spot hanging out with friends and family, this place is a true hidden gem. Definitely coming back again soon! read more

I loved coming here for skewers! My cousins frequent this place almost every week and I loved getting to try it out. Their chicken and pork belly skewers were amazing! I also loved their spicy clams from here, they are a popular favorite here! read more

I've been here four times now, and it's definitely one of my go-to BBQ places! While the food is always great, the only downside is the long wait time since they don't take reservations unless you're with a large group. Tip: arrive early to avoid the rush! Food Highlights & Must-Try Dishes: Cold Noodles - Great texture and super refreshing; helps balance out the salt and spice. Spicy Clams - Full of flavor and a generous portion for the price. Cabbage - Simple, well-seasoned, and surprisingly tasty. Shrimp Skewers - Always a crowd favorite. Crispy Buns - Crunchy, flavorful, and definitely a must-try. Drinks - We had two small cocktails and a large party drink. The alcohol isn't too strong--tastes more like iced tea, which makes them really easy to enjoy. The skewers are heavily seasoned, so if you're sensitive to salt, ask for less seasoning. If you don't eat spicy, make sure to let them know in advance. Add cold sides or drinks to help balance out the bold flavors. Also, the corn Cheese with Candied Sprinkles & Raisins was... interesting (I didn't like it). The mix of sweet and savory didn't work for me. If you're curious, eat it hot it becomes chewy and overly sweet once it cools down. Not bad overall! Give it try! read more

How have I not heard of this place earlier? So delicious! This place is so good that I've already been back twice within two weeks! A Chinese skewers place with a huge variety of other food items that aren't your typical skewered meat as well. The place is LOUD so make sure to prep your eardrums. Larger parties get seated on the second floor which is very warm and extra loud with the music. The servers speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English, making it easy for ordering. They also have a Chinese and English menu, you can ask for whichever one you'd like. Upon entering, you'll notice their large fridges with a large variety of drinks so make sure to check it out! The food here is absolutely delicious with all dishes having distinct flavours and textures. Some things that I loved: Tofu & preserved egg 5/5 - Looks super red and spicy but it's surprisingly not spicy at all. It has a vinegary sauce which is a great app/ starter. Lamb skewers & beef skewers 5/5 - Both perfectly seasoned and delicious. Spicy clams 5/5 - It's $30 for the plate, but the plate is huge! Comes with a lot of meaty clams and great for sharing. Cold noodle 5/5 - Super refreshing noodle dish that has a soury soup base. Passionfruit slush with corona 5/5 - This drink was like drinking a passionfruit slush bbt. It comes with a mini corona bottle flipped upside down + a shot of liquor. You can't taste the alcohol at all in this drink since the slush is so delicious. Chicken skin 5/5 - Super crispy but not at all fatty tasting. One of my favourite items! The wait times here are long so make sure to make a reservation in advance. Reservations are only available for tables 6 or more so make sure to round up your friends to experience a flavour explosion in your mouth! read more

Street Grill - Menu - Chinese Near Me - North York, Ontario

Fairly new spot, and extremely busy. Heard the wait times, without a reservation could be 2-3 hours, and they only take resos for parties of 6+. English menu doesn't have the thumbs up/recommended items, so maybe consult both if you can. Ordered a lemon highball tower (3L), a bunch of skewers, eggplant, tofu+century egg, sweet and sour pork. All the food was really good, and very tasty. Word of warning though, anything that's "mala" or numbing spicy, was quite spicy, much more so than all the other stuff. I liked how the skewers didn't all taste the same. There's a variety of seasonings for different meats/cuts. Price was reasonable and service was pretty good. Would try and come back, but not if I have to wait 2-3 hours.. read more

Brand new skewer spot inside Skymark Place Shopping centre beside Service Ontario. The pork skewers were flavourful and tasty. I enjoyed the pork over the beef. I prefer a little dry on the outside. They have an item that is bean curd wrapped with ham and onions inside. Unique and tasty. It's busy so the service was a little slow. The drinks you order from scanning the QR code. It might show the item out of stock but it is in the fridge and available. Doesn't hurt to look at the fridge or ask the waiter. Overall a good experience. I will come back! read more

Street Grill serves delicious barbecue, especially the grilled pork intestine, which is tender and full of flavor.

Has it gotten more oily? A lot of their house dishes are soo greasy. A lot of their seafood options have sand in them. Are they being cleaned properly? Some skewers felt rather dry like their pork belly. This used to be my favourite skewers restaurant but perhaps they have fallen off their game? Service wise is still really good other than their reservations option still doesn't make any sense to me. read more

A new Chinese skewer spot that I absolutely loved. The ambiance was bright and clean, which is usually tough to maintain for barbecue spots. If they are able to keep it up, it will be perfect. Our server was also welcoming and attentive. The food is what really impressed me. The skewers were also so juicy when served to our table. I recommend their squid, wings and any beef skewers. I will come back to try getting some of their drinks and more seafood. read more

New favourite late night spot! The slushie drinks with the Corona are amazing! Mango and Lychee are probably the best!

One of the best skewer places I've been to - vibes are immaculate, very lively, lots of fun. The drinks fridge is huge and there are lots of alcoholic and non alcoholic options. There are some cool drink towers where they tip different types of beer into a single drink - looks and tastes pretty cool. Skewer choices are massive (provide english and chinese menu). You can indicate spice levels and any allergies, so our nut allergic friend feels pretty safe here. all the skewers are very tasty, we haven't come across any that we would not order again. It does get confusing which skewer is which, but meat quality and the taste is really good. My personal fav is the chicken skin. read more

Finally got to try this place! We made a reservation for a large party of 8. It was our first time there and right after we got seated the server asked if we wanted to order their best seller which takes some time to prepare. We weren't even really sure what it was but why not since we have a large group, let's try it! Turns out it was a sweet and sour meat dish which was not bad. Skewers were pretty good. We also got the scallop on shell with garlic and glass noodles which was really good (a must). They have a huge menu of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Even the fried mochi with brown sugar dessert was good. Overall would recommend trying if you haven't! Make reservations in advance though! read more

Hands down the best chinese skewer/bbq place around! I always get a wide variety of skewers and the spicy garlic clams is definitely a must, it's only around 20ish bucks for a large portion. Cool cocktails and beer towers, vibe for drinks and food is really good. Service is decent considering how it's always packed even on weekdays. This place you should always make a reservation before hand, you'll most likely be waiting 1-2 hrs for a table even on weekdays. read more
