The bread was fresh. The meat was juicy. The sandwich was big and meaty. Enough said.

The best in Toronto. Why would anyone need to drive to Montreal for Schwartz's Montreal Smoked Meat when you can get it right here in Scarborough! Sumi took a risk, left Schwartz's after 15 + years, and in April, opended this little gem of a place in Scarborough. Many thanks to the super friendly owners, Sumi and his wife, for the wonderful hospitality when we were here. The boyfriend dared to say this was even better than Schwartz's. Combo comes with a pickle and fries. Their Smoked Meat Poutine was to die for! Highly recommended! Parking - lots of free parking in the plaza Atmosphere - small, but clean with both table and counter seatings. Super friendly service from both the husband and wife. read more

This spot is a gem, delicious food, friendly service, nice location. We are repeat customers as we Just Love their smoked meat poutine, it's so delicious. Fries are good by themselves but even better with the generous portions of gravy, meat and cheese. In the sandwiches they give you a great portion of meat as well! Definitely a solid go to for good eats. read more

Amazing is all that needs to be said from a transplanted New Yorker, this out of the way spot is worth the drive! If only they made a good potato Knish to go with the sandwich I would be in heaven read more

I've missed Montreal smoked meat and was craving it so badly, now that I dont have to drive 6 hours to go get it is a blessing. The smoked meat was the same as I remembered and a bonus is that its halal too! Even the fat was delicious. And the pickles? 10/10 would go again read more

Sumilicious has the best Montreal smoked meat. The meat is incredible; it's tender, juicy, chewy and so full of flavor. I've asked for fatty, and I got fatty. The sandwich is just perfect with the fatty meat, pickle and mustard. This place is cozy and with amazing service. The owner is very friendly. He told me that he had worked at Schwartz's and he is making the meat with his own special recipe now. Come here to try the delicious Montreal smoked meat sandwich and pair it with a black cherry soda! read more

Visiting from out of town, and I was told I had to try the generically named "smoked meat." The closest description I was given was that it was similar to Katz's deli in NYC, so I definitely went in with a certain set of expectations. The setting is extremely casual (run of the mill cheap lunch setting), and if it weren't for the recommendation, I would have expected much less from the food. I ordered the sandwich, and while the meat was delicious, I thought the bread left something to be desired - sure, it's only white bread, but just seemed to be a missed opportunity for something great. I also ordered the poutine - I'm no poutine expert, but it was certainly satisfying. When I'm back in town, I'd definitely go back, but maybe just order the plate instead of the sandwich...and more poutine. read more

Best poutine and such delicious smoked meat sandwiches! Perfect lunch spot, eat this all the time when I'm craving poutine.

A place to go to for that smoke meat memory you had in Montreal, because it is now in Toronto!! Just crazy amount of meat and of course mustard making a filling meal itself. read more

Who would have thought GTA's best Montreal smoked meat would be on the border of Scarborough and Markham. Got the smoked brisket sandwich, Meat was moist and juicy. You can also choose the level of fattiness. Washed it down very nicely with a colts black cherry soda. I've been 2x now, I look forward to coming back and trying the smoked meat poutine. read more

What a hefty portion!!! No need to drive to Montreal now! Thank gawd we got lost and I yelped and this was suggested. Very very tasty and well worth every penny and bite. got these and coleslaw which was amazing too btw. read more

I've tried their Smoked Meat poutine and their sandwich. It was really filling and worth the price! For the price too it is definitely worth trying as it was pleasant to eat. I'm glad that it's within walking distance of where I live because I can see myself coming back here again and again! I would recommend the Smoked Meat Poutine for anyone coming by! read more

Stopped by here while we were Scarborough due to the great reviews. Fantastic smoked meat sandwich - very comparable to Schwartz in Montreal. Also, the fries were crisp, hot and fresh! Overall, great experience. read more

I'm pleased to welcome SumiLicious to our neighbourhood giving us yet even more variety without having to step too far away from home. I was looking for a quick lunch the other day and noticed *SMOKED MEAT* while scrolling thru Yelp. Immediately I drove over and ordered a small platter of smoked meat. The owners/employees were all very nice and appreciated all the business that walked thru the door given that they're still in soft opening stage The smoked meat was very tender and melts in your mouth for the most part :), I agree with others that the beard is a little underwhelming in comparison to the quality of the meat. One more thing I want to add is that they only have regular yellow mustard, while eating smoked meat I do enjoy the spicy mustard that they have at other places. Will come back as it's close to home and pretty good, especially to fill that smoked meat craving, I still rather go down to wolfies but this place is a lotttttt closer read more

Newly opened in markham and tastes exactly like Schwartz. Not too salty. Just right. If you're not feeling a sandwich, get the smoked meat plate. A small is $14.50 and comes with lots of bread. For two people, a small plate and a regular poutine had us stuffed. read more

Tried there smoked meat (Halal) sandwich combo. Let's start with the star of the Dish. Smoked meat! It's very very tender and have more of pure meat flavour which is great almost buttery texture. Portion size is decent. You would def want more so if you are a meat lover like me then go for the small or large plate with have bigger portion of meat and comes with bread so you can make your own sandwich. Home cut rustic fries were a great side to have. Pickle was very juicy and flavourful and goes great with the richness of meat. Slaw was different more vinegar based. I prefer more creamy slaw so not my Fav. Having a Halal Smoked meat shop in Toronto was a dream for a long time. It's worth the trip if you are not in the east end. First bite and you will fall in love! read more

Great food, but better people! Ordered the smoked meat poutine and I couldn't believe the amount of meat they piled onto that poutine. Here's a visual for you, imagine you are packing for a 2 week long vacation and you're trying to fit your entire wardrobe into your suitcase. Now you're having trouble closing your suitcase. That is exactly how it looks trying to close the lid on the massive poutine that they serve. Quality of the meat was definitely there. I would be hard pressed in a blind fold test of Schwartz's and Sumilicious' smoked meat. Am definitely planning on coming back later to try out the other menu items. read more

i have eaten my fair share of smoked meat from the OG Schwartz's in Montreal. (lived there for many years) Fernando used to work there. I only order the fatty which is why I only drop by only once a month. He has been tweaking his recipe since he opened and it tastes like 90%+ of the real stuff from Montreal. ( without the long driving or making the Schwartz's cryovac take out package at home, which tastes only OK- both sliced and non-sliced) Fries are also excellent and fresh-cut. Smoke meat poutine is very amazing especially if you don't like bread. Lunch rush can be busy, so come a little early or mid-afternoon read more

Wow! Amazing smoked meat sandwiches and super friendly staff. The portions were very generous and they were all very yummy. The smoked meat itself had a great ratio between fat and lean, well spiced, and not salty. They were also hand cut, which makes them even more flavourful. The poutine was very unique in taste, as their gravy had a tasty spiced flavour to it. Def a must try! read more

Sumilicious is just jucilicious. I went there after reading a highly respected food critic's review. And it was worth travelling about 60 KM . My palate fell in love at first bite. Never had smoked sandwich so good in TO. And the taste is enhanced by the welcome that one receives from the chef, partner, and staff, 4 stars for now as I have not tried everything. Will be going there again! For many, there is an additional bonus: It is Halal . read more

Best smoked meat I had ever. Had some difficulty matching their time. Great service. The sandwich is a must order if you are going.

Super friendly staff. Ordered a smoked meat sandwich, and smoked meat poutine. Smoked meat was super tender and delicious and poutine portion was huge. Closest thing to Schwartz without the 5 hour drive. read more

The smoked meat sandwiches here are unreal. I was in Montreal and had Reubens and honestly thought it wasn't as good as that time I was at sumilicious in Scarborough (price taken in consideration, it really hurt my wallet and the food was good but did not live up to its legendary status), they just have a special sauce is all. There's something about how sumilicious cures their meat with herbs and spices and the texture and tenderness of the smoked meat. Some parts of the meat literally melt in your mouth. I dare say I can't go vegetarian because this is one of the foods I will miss too much. read more

Went to sumilipus today. We ordered a smoke meat sandwich. Medium meat. You have a choice of fat, medium or lean. The medium meat is the best. Reminded me of the ones I had in Montreal many years ago when I was a student. Must try. Very yummy. read more

Heard about this place from a friend, so I decided to check this place out. Sure didn't disappoint! I had the smoked meat sandwich (extra fatty) with the cherry Cola. The meat in the sandwhich was super juicy and tender, and full of smoked meat flavour. After finishing the sandwhich I ordered an extra pound of smoked to go! No need to make the trek to Montreal anymore! read more

Ordered a smoked meat poutine. The poutine was a bit of a disappointment. The smoked meat was good, but the fries were quite soggy, the gravy was too sour for my taste and the cheese curds were not squeaky fresh. Overall it wasn't bad (potatoes, gravy and cheese always make a good combo), but it was far from the best poutine I have ever had. Even in Ontario, I have had better poutine. From what I tasted of the smoked meat in the poutine however, I would come back to try a sandwich! read more

90g+ of FAT in one sandwich!! A friend got takeout for us the other night - 2 smoked meat sandwiches. It looked and smelled great, but when I bit into mine, there was a big piece of squishy fat. Ew! I opened the sandwich and there were entire slices of just fat, with no meat attached. I sorted through it all and removed all of the big chunks, leaving some of the smaller pieces attached to meat. While the meat was tender and flavorful, I couldn't get over the big hunks of fat, so I weighed it. It came to exactly 90g! If you add the piece I ate and what was attached to meat, it must have been 100g+. It's extremely unhealthy and unnecessary to be eating that much saturated fat in one meal. I'm not the first reviewer to mention this, but apparently the owners are okay serving it. I asked my friend if he had requested fatty or lean, and he said he just ordered two sandwiches. This is by no means my first deli sandwich, but it's my first with whole slices of fat. Guess if the restaurant puts it in the garbage, they lose money instead of me. I realize you don't eat smoked meat sandwiches to be healthy, but to who care about what you eat, beware! Reply Not sure if you're implying that this fat did not come from one of your sandwiches, but check the review from Yune L. a few months ago with the attached FAT picture, if you need more proof. Like I said, my friend did not ask for a specific cut, nor was he asked what he would prefer. This fat was not attached to pieces of meat, it was entire slices on its own. Whether or not you choose to remove some of the fat that you serve is up to you. I posted my review so that your customers would be aware and order accordingly. read more

So basically I've wanted a a spot like this in Toronto forever now since I tried the similar neat spot in Montreal. This place is delicious, meat is so tender and sandwiches taste great! Love the meat poutine, must try!!! Great spot for quick lunch, even go with family! Not very big seating area but cool spot with great fooood read more

This is such a great place for Montreal style smoked meat! Sumi the owner is very passionate at making his product the best tasting it can be! The smoked meat is perfectly seasoned and has a ton of flavour! I live about 40 minutes away but it is worth the drive for one of his fabulous sandwiches! read more

I finally had a chance to bring the family to Sumilicious. Indeed, the best smoked meat in GTA. No need to bring back Schwartz smoked meat from Montreal. It is the closest I have ever had to Schwartz. I would agree with Yelp review on fries need to be ordered extra crispy, I did this & thought they were great! The gravy in the poutine was simply amazing. Next time I will ask for the smoked meat to be cut from a brisket right out of the steamer to get an even better eating experience. Save room for dessert at El Habanero Churrobar, which is 5 mins from Sumilicious! read more

Owners were very nice and social. The food was uber delicious. Lots of seats. Will be back again ! read more

So glad that they opened up shop in Toronto! No need to drive all the way to Montreal for Montreal smoked meat anymore! The meat in my sandwich was well seasoned and tasted great! Prices are reasonable as well. read more

I'm a Montrealer born and raised. Moved to T.O. many years ago. Sumi has the ONLY authentic old-fashioned smoked meat sandwich in the GTA. As good as Schwartz! The meat is old-fashioned, flaky, very tender, spicy and with "good melty fat" in the meat that makes the sandwich delectable. You cannot get that here in T.O. unless you go to Sumi's. On the side, I had fresh cut fries and a can of Cott's Black Cherry! I felt like I was sitting at Schwartz today! I recommend 100% if you need your Montreal smoked meat fix. I never thought I would see old fashioned smoked meat as good or better than Schwartz in the GTA! Unbelievable sandwich! If you like Centre Street Deli ... the sandwich at Sumi blows it away! I would give 10 stars but I'm not permitted. Full 5-Star review. read more

If you're craving for some montreal smoke meat and don't want to go all the way to Montreal, Sumilicious is definitely a place to try. Located in the old tnt plaza at middlefield and steeles is sumilicious. Entrance is a little tricky as it is not connected from the parking lot. You would have to walk around the front of the plaza in order to get in. Went in on a saturday afternoon and it wasn't crazy busy. We just wanted to try the signature smoked meat sandwich. The order itself was pretty hefty in meat portion (similar to schawartz). It is sauced with some mustard and then they cut the meat up piling it ontop of a nice soft rye bread. The sandwich itself is under 10$ (similar to schawartz in montreal). The owner itself said he used to work at schawartz so he knows the ins and outs of the taste. Overall it is a nice fast food joint to have in the scarb area if you're craving for a good smoke meat sandwich! Bonus also, i didn't find the meat overly dry or salty! read more

Was impressed with the smoked meat. Portion was perfect and the meat melted in your mouth. We also ordered the poutine which was what I expected....YUMMY! Was kind of disappointed that the sandwich combo does not come with a drink NOR can you upgrade the fries to the poutine....even IF you wanted to pay more. As side from that, the place I guess being new, is very bland and not much decor was in place. read more

I went in after hearing all the hype and ordered smoked meat poutine. It was not good. first of all the textures in mouth felt disgusting. The fat bits felt slimy, coupled with dry smoked beef and mediocre fries and gravy was just plain bad. Portions are huge though which is why I am assuming people rate this place so highly. For me I am all about quality over quantity and this place is not quality at all. It could also be that smoked meat just isn't for me because I never had it before. Nonetheless this my honest review. read more

This is a small restaurant that made me love smoked meat! The meat is so tender, juicy and delicious and the servings are huge! They load the sandwiches so much that it gets pretty messy to eat but definitely worth it. Would recommend this place to anyone who loves smoked meat - it will not disappoint! read more

Pretty average. Not as good as Schwartz in my opinion but much closer lol. I thought it was a little pricy as well.
