    Hands down the best Chinese BBQ restaurant in Riverdale! The service is polite and efficient. The takeout counter is at the front of the restaurant. Although their name has changed over the years from Ka Ka Lucky to Wok & Roast Chinese BBQ, their ample menu offerings have consistently remained great. It's an East Chinatown institution! Came here for the BBQ dishes on rice (roast pork and BBQ pork) along with an appetizer order of Sweet & Sour Soup (more sweet and sour than hot and sour). Time and time again, their food is always exceptionally delicious. Left here with an extra large order of Braised Tofu to go.

    Hot and sour soup

    There isn't a lot of good Chinese restaurants in East Chinatown. This bbq place isn't go to for Chinese bbq. Ambiance: Your typical Chinese bbq place with bbq meat hanging from the window that's how you know it's authentic! The restaurant is small with only a few smaller tables. Service: I ordered take out it as super fast! Food: I ordered one meal with one bbq item ( roasted duck ) for only $9 and 2 bbq items ( bbq pork and roasted pork) for the second meal for $11 in small size. Price is very good. The meal also comes with broccoli. I also ordered the hot and sour soup which was so tasty with strips of bbq pork, bamboo shoots, small shrimps and fungus with tofu. So tasty and spicy. First time having this soup here and it was delicious! The bbq meats was fresh and flavourful.

    Wok & Roast is a traditional Chinese BBQ restaurant with the BBQ items on display at the front window. They also offer dishes commonly found in most Chinese restaurants in the GTA. I ordered a large BBQ duck on rice take out during my visit. The BBQ duck tasted alright, and came with a side of broccoli. The large size was not worth it, as the extra BBQ duck was mostly bone. Service was fast. Street parking available. The neighborhood is served by TTC line 506.

    I came to Old Broadview Chinatown to try "Completo," a Latin restro a couple of doors down. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with may tacos at Completo and was still hungry. This Chinese BBQ spot got my attention, so I popped in and ordered me some good old BBQ Pork & Soya chicken to eat at home. Don't remember "Wok & Roast Chinese BBQ," but it's been at least 5 years since I've been in this area because most Chinese restaurants have moved to Markham. A lot has changed in the area. When I got home, I did reheat my food because I prefer it hot, not warm. Keeping that in mind, it would have tasted better if I ate immediately. The meal came with my request meats and some broccoli. The BBQ Pork was solid. It was tender and had a good mix of fat and lean pork. The BBQ pork sauce was also a nice balance of sweet and savory. The Soya Chicken was good as well, but I wish they had included some ginger-scallion sauce. I'm not sure if this was even an option here. Even after microwaving, the rice was good, surprisingly not mushy, considering I asked for extra sauce over everything. I would come again if I'm in the neighborhood. For those wondering why only 3 stars if I enjoyed the food? Well, my rating would actually be 3.5 stars, but Yelp doesn't do half stars, and 2nd, I've been spoiled with great Chinese BBQ... that is "HKS Barbecue & Noodle House" located at First Markham Place. Don't get me wrong, this spot is good, but not I gotta drive 30 min to get my fix Chinese BBQ good. The service was quick and friendly. The decor is tasteful, causal, welcoming, and clean. If you have a craving for Chinese BBQ in the east end of the city, give this spot a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed... My 2 cents.

    Roast Pork for DOGS this was the worst roast pork I had ever seen and tried to eat. Bland and difficult to eat!
    Do L.

    I wondered if they changed owners in the last 5 months? Food was hard to eat I asked for a small bite size and the butcher cut them into DOG size bites, and it was bland! I came downtown for this garbage and they raised the pieces and it surely doesn't reflect it. Anyone else attempt to go here I hope anyone goes here have a better experience. Otherwise I look forward to the next 10 reviews if I should return ever again. Alternative goto Golden Stone at Spadina and Dundas their roast pork is extra crispy and better service! I went their last week!

    If you love BBQ Pork & Roast Pork, this place has the best of it! I have tried a lot of Chinese BBQ place, but this place hits the best, always! Bbq pork seasoned perfectly and its juicy. The Roast Pork skin is so cripsy! Even we got the pig ear. However, we ask for sauce, and the person who usually serve us only stared at us. I guess she is not in the mood. This place was full of people! Cause they know the best bbq in Toronto is here! Follow me on instagram @astravel_eats

    A great place for quick and tasty cantonese food in cabbagetown. Visited many times and the food keeps you coming back for some comfort chinese food. Meats are tender and well seasoned. Its close to riverdale park so grab some takeout and enjoy it while soaking in the great views from the park.

    This is my go-to place for Chinese BBQ and roasted meats on the way home from work. This place is especially busy during the Chinese New Year holiday eve and expect to wait a minimum of 30 minutes or more. It's just how it is this time of year. Although you don't have to worry that they will run out because they know to make a lot more to serve the extra customers that come in just for this occasion. I ended up getting a free-range poached chicken, 2 lbs of roasted pork, and a whole roasted duck for about $75 dollars. I think that is pretty fair tbh. During the "off-peak" season, you can generally walk into this place with nary a line-up to be seen and be on your way with the delicious BBQ and roasted meats. I find the prices to be quite fair for what you get. You can ask the chef to pick different styles of cuts for the roasted pork (fatty, medium, or lean) or select the best roasted duck hanging in the display window. This place is also a restaurant although I've never been hungry enough to come here to try the menu.

    A little blurry, but still good. Renovations have been good to this place.

    Guys, guys. I usually associate the east Chinatown with restaurants that are empty and a little rundown. However, this one definitely wasn't! Even the bathrooms were new and spotless. Renovations were good to this place! Meanwhile, the food: the menu is a little unfriendly (no pictures, no descriptions, just lists upon lists in a tiny font) but after you get through that, the food comes to the table super fast. They definitely don't oversalt things; we ordered the crispy half-chicken, and it came with its own little bowl of salt and pepper. It was a little strange, but it's definitely good for people who like to have control over their salt intake. We also ordered the rice with chicken and vegetables-- this honestly didn't look appetizing, but it tasted like congee. The highlight was the chowmein noodles. The noodles weren't soaking in sauce, so they were still crunchy, which gave the dish great texture. And at the end, there were free slices of watermelon. All in all, we ate a meal for four people and it cost $28.00. In tapas-crazed Toronto where "sharing plates" mean two dehydrated chicken wings for $18, I think this is a bargain worth having again. And again. And again. Added bonus: it's close to Wong's if you want some great ice-cream for dessert!

    3 kinds bbq on rice. Large $8.50.  Soya chicken , BBQ pork, duck

    Ok. Wok and roast has slowly slipped down the abysmal path of crappy food since the Reno. We have had numerous bad meals in the last two months. Today was the worst. Braised tofu. $2 - 2 squares. Was made yesterday. Very gritty. Lacked flavour. 2 bbq chicken wings $5. Yesterdays food as well. Chewy Cantonese chow menu. Just horrible. Over stretch. Huge Chunks of chicken & pork. Chewy squid. Old shrimp. One piece of scallop. Watery not crispy noodle. $12 General Tao chicken. Just horrible. Could have been pork for all I know. A mess of sweet and sour sauce. And over cooked deep fried chicken. $13 Service indifferent. I feel like they plied crap on us because we aren't Chinese. We went at least 3 times a month. Never going again. The east end is done with good Chinese. The mall court at Gerrard square for 1/2 the price. Is comparable to what we got today. The owner knows us. And I can't believe she would serve this crap to us. Or anyone else. Also the Reno was last year. Clean the chandeliers & floors and mirrors. Since the increase in minimum wage they of course raised prices. But almost 30%. For shittier food.

    An unplanned walk-in that turned, quite happily, into a small celebration. Good Brothers…read moreunderstands that barbecue is less a meal than an event, and it stages one with easy conviviality: a table of friends, a few drinks, and a steady procession of skewers arriving as quickly as you can order them. The seasoning is the triumph here. There is spice, confident but never domineering, and real flavour in the meat rather than smoke standing in for it. The skewers are modest in size, which is a virtue: it invites grazing, and it encourages the table to be adventurous. Service is warm and notably brisk, so the rhythm of ordering and eating never falters. If there is a caveat, it is one of appetite arithmetic. Order generously, then order again. A thoroughly good time.

    I came here a couple days ago after a Chinatown festival around 10 PM, it was pretty busy. We had…read moreto wait about 10 minutes to be seated. They gave us the table directly in front of the counter where the cashier stays, so I requested a different table which we then had to wait another 10 to 15 minutes for. This is not at all a complaint as it was requested. The service was good but most of the servers didn't really speak English, which I guess is to be expected in Chinatown. I don't have any complaints about that. The food took about 10-15 minutes once ordered. We ordered the Grilled Squid, Grilled Oysters, Beef Ribs, Chicken Thigh Skewers, Bean Curd Rolls w/ Cilantro, Grilled Eggplant and Cauliflower. Pretty much everything was over flavoured and lots of MSG. The beef ribs were quite good. Not the best I've had but good. The chicken skewers were fine. The oysters tasted pretty decent but I only had a couple bites of one because I'm not a huge fan of oysters. The bean curd rolls were fine but they could have been better if they took the time to put just cilantro leaves in there not the whole stems, which made them take forever to chew. The grilled eggplant was good only because I love eggplant, there was waaay too much seasoning for the thin piece of eggplant. The cauliflower was my favourite but again, the seasoning should be toned down. The Grilled Squid we both took one bite of and could immediately tell it was either not fresh or not good quality so we didn't eat it. They removed it from the bill as requested which we appreciated. They had free self serve slushies which was a cute touch. Overall the staff and service was good but the food was below average, which was disappointing given the restaurant's rating.
