    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.

    Food was amazing, price for great Definitely recommend 5 star. Staff was nice and atmosphere good as it gets for a momma pop restaurant

    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.

    But it's been a long time since I ate at Swatow and wanted to come here with my siblings for lunch…read moreon my birthday! And the food was delicious as always. I've been coming here for decades and I had many fond memories when I lived in the area. The place is a medium size restaurant and looked exactly the same. The service as fast as usual. Usually there's a long line to get in but we got a table for four right away on a Sunday after 1pm. Then after we ordered our server offered us a larger table which we really appreciated. And glad we did because all the dishes were huge! We ordered to share: -Ginger Scallion Lobster -Shrimps in lobster sauce on rice -Cantonese Chow Mein -Fried squid -Spring rolls Everything tasted great and fresh but I wish the ginger scallion lobster tasted better. It wasn't the same as the one I had at another restaurant on Baldwin St. that closed many years ago. But it was still so nice to return to this iconic Chinatown restaurant.

    Use to be the spot, decided to come here for lunch with my mom…read more Food was great, there was no interaction other than the waitress standing by their designated spot gossiping. Ordered my regular Stir Fried Beef rice noodle (lots of Wok Hei) and Fried bean curd with vegetables. Food came out great and tasted great. The only thing I did not like was when my mom barely finish they brought out the bill to rush us out. It wasn't that busy since it was after the lunch rush hour. The thing is when the bill came they overcharged us by a buck and we just decided to leave it be along with tipping them greatly. There was absolutely no interaction or even a thanks for stopping by and come back for more. This was my fave spot to eat whenever I'm craving for Chinese food, guess I will have to find something else. It's also cash only since they have an atm by the washroom entrance.

    we were picking up medication at the nearby pharmacy and decided to stop by at Juicy Dumpling since…read moreI haven't had Chinese dumplings and bun's in so long! It was so packed but my brother was able to save a table while I did the ordering. This was a very casual and self service type of restaurant in which you can order at the front desk or at their kiosk. They had a limited time "promotion" going on in which you can order a maximum of 2 orders of their xiaolongbao or steamed mini soup dumplings for $2.99 with a minimum spend of $10. But honestly, I've seen this promotion since last year so I'm thinking it's actually a permanent offer. We ordered two orders of their pan fried pork buns, 1 order of their pan fried chicken dumplings, and 2 order of their promotional steamed mini soup dumplings. I thought everything tasted pretty good. The pan fried buns and dumplings were very crispy and quite juicy. My only nitpick is that I wished they put some kind of veggies or chives in their filling. It was just meat and felt too 1 dimensional for me. The steamed mini soup dumplings was actually really good though which is such a surprise at this price point. The outer layer was very thin and the filling was packed with soup. It was very delicious and hearty. Are these the best Chinese dumplings and bun's I've ever had ? No, but they were great especially for the price point. I would definitely come back again next time I am craving Chinese dumplings and buns. Also they take Amex which is always a plus in my book.

    I've been craving Szechuan-style whole grilled fish for the longest time, so I was really happy…read morewhen I stumbled across this spot while walking on Spadina. The posters outside caught my eye, and I decided to come back with a group of three friends to try it out. We came a bit late around 8 PM, and most of the fish were already sold out except the original. We ended up ordering the Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($40), a whole fish served bubbling hot with three toppings (potatoes, spam, and lotus root). You can choose between catfish and turbot, we chose the turbot fish. It looked extremely spicy, but the spice level was actually perfect. It was a bit on the oily side, but pairing it with rice balanced it out nicely. The fish was very tender and buttery, everything tasted amazing! We also ordered the Stir-Fried Egg with Tomato. The eggs were soft, the tomato sauce was rich. Not to mention the portion size was huge, we even had leftovers after eating until we were full. The restaurant itself was spacious, clean, and had plenty of seating. I think they were doing some sort of promotion so they gave us a $25 off coupon, though it expired pretty quickly so we didn't get to use it. I'd definitely come back for that grilled fish.

    This is a new Chinese restaurant featuring Hunan and Szechuan cuisine. The spicy dishes emphasize…read morespiciness, not numbness. A few of their dishes come out on a sizzling plate with flames underneath. They are still in soft-opening mode with several specials. You can see the menus via a QR code. The Hunan cuisine is listed as "Hunan Noodles" and the Szechuan cuisine is listed as "Chopfire Menu". The Szechuan dishes are listed with 1 to 3 chilies representing the spiciness. If you can't handle spicy, then avoid eating the chili pieces and you might "survive". The restaurant decided to minimize their food offerings so that they can focus on refining their dishes in terms of quality and taste, including from customer feedback. We ordered the following: 1. Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($39.95). 2. Home Stir Fried Beef ($21.95). 3. Bullfrog with Baby Ginger ($19.95). 4. Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Pork ($15.95). 5. Drunk Oolong (charcoal roasted oolong tea base) x 2 ($5.95 x 2). 6. Lemon Taro Balls ($7.95). We also saw the following: 7. Stir-Fried Sliced Pork with Green Pepper Noodle Soup ($9.99). First 10 customers each day, only pays $1.00. 8. Ink Painting Cocktail ($5.95). The Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish came out on a huge sizzling platter. The BBQ Fish, a Turbot Fish, was very fresh and flaky, easily coming off the bone. There is no head attached like at typical Chinese restaurants but it would not have fit in the platter. The platter had a delicious sauce (soupy consistency and not sweet), luncheon meat slices, lotus root slices, and two other vegetables, along with chili pieces. The entire dish tasted great together with the various flavours. The menu listed it as 2-chili spicy but I could handle it by avoiding the chili pieces. The Home Stir Fried Beef is tender. It is listed as 3-chili but I could handle it by avoiding the chili pieces. The Bullfrog with Baby Ginger has the bullfrog cut up in little pieces; no you don't see a whole frog! The meat was actually good but most pieces have bones in it, so it takes time to eat it carefully. There was ginger slices in it but it, but we thought the slices were quite large! The Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Pork was very delicious! It came in a sizzling plate. The Cauliflower was flavourful and was not crunchy and not too soft. I've never had preserved pork slices before; it was quite good, not as salty as Chinese preserved vegetables. The Drunk Oolong has comes in a small bowl a with gin and ice. On the side, they include pieces of the charcoal roasted oolong tea leaves so you can smell it; quite a good smell indeed. You can also order it without the gin, which is what I ordered for mine (since I don't drink alcohol). It was such a nice drink! The Lemon Taro Balls dessert was pretty. In the centre was a slice of lemon. The customer service was good. There is plenty of indoor table and counter seating, including a small private room at the back. There is also an outdoor patio during warmer weather. There is pop music playing in the background. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two gender-neutral washrooms downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-026

    Mott 32 absolutely feels like one of those places where the entire experience matters just as much…read moreas the food. From the moment we walked in, the space already set the tone.. dark, dramatic, elegant, and beautifully designed without feeling overly stiff. It has that upscale energy that makes dinner feel like an occasion before you've even ordered anything. Food-wise, there was a lot to love. The signature apple wood roasted Peking duck was definitely a highlight, especially with the tableside carving, which made the whole experience feel even more polished and memorable. The skin had that beautiful lacquered finish, and the duck was rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. We also ordered a few larger dishes for the table, and I really appreciated how everything still felt refined without losing that comforting, indulgent side of Chinese dining. Some dishes leaned rich and luxurious, others were lighter and more aromatic, so the meal never felt repetitive. Service was another standout. Attentive without hovering, smooth without being too formal.. exactly the kind of service you hope for in a restaurant like this. Overall, Mott 32 is absolutely the kind of place I'd come back to for a special dinner, celebration, or just one of those nights when you want the meal to feel a little more elevated than usual.

Also, when we call to check if dim sum is being served, it makes sense to inform us of the dining room closure instead of having us come in anyway. We settled for eating in the lounge which ended up being good because bartender, Aiki?, was excellent as our server. Really great. Ordered the following: King prawn Har gow: standard. Not worth the premium Mott charges. Miso black cod dumpling: not good. Wouldn't order again Shredded Peking Duck Spring Roll, Sliced Vegetable : Excellent. We loved this! Nice and crunchy. Delicious duck inside. Good vinegar dipping sauce. Good volume Hot & Sour Iberico Pork Shanghainese Soup Dumplings: Fantastic and unique. The dumplings don't really need dipping sauce since inside there is a hot and sour soup along with pork. These are unique and delicious. Fried Wagyu beef taro croquette : pretty good but really tasted like a Jamaican patty Cold noodle with shredded duck : very generous with meat. Honestly a lot more than any other restaurant that serves this. To be fair no one charges this much either so it should. Flavour could be stronger but certainly decent. Fresh Mango, Coconut, Glutinous Rice Roll: nice fresh dessert. Our favourite. Frozen xiao long bao with chocolate and nut: Tastes like a mochi. Not bad. Dragonball Zen - fun name. Delicious drink. Jasmine Dragon Ball Infused Tanqueray Gin / Peach Liquor Lime / Rose Water / Mint / Seltzer Over $200 for this meal before tip. It's premium an debatable if with it. Will be back but just occasionally.

    I got the Braised Beef Noodles with classic noodles. Great food! I am traveling in Toronto for work…read moreand stopped by when I started craving home cooked beef soup. I am taiwanese and I have to say this was delicious. There is someone actually making noodles in the back. Service was quick and very nice and upbeat. My server was Kelly and she was great- I ate in and took what I didnt finish to-go and she even separated my noodles from the broth! The mango green tea was also fantastic. Thank you!

    Toronto Review 4/Many: I went to this excellent Lanzhou spot with another person as one of my…read moreearlier meals. Our server, Sophia, was bubbly and friendly, giving suggestions and helping with the ordering process for the other person who wasn't as sure what they wanted. We eventually went with two appetizers and two entrees, which was more than enough food, and honestly, we could have only ordered one appetizer. The better of the two appetizers was the CAD 8.95 Hand Shredded Pepper Chicken/手撕椒麻雞/Shou Si Ji. The dish consists of cold chicken in a flavorful sauce, topped with some greens. The chicken was tender, with a mild, pleasant spice and a bit of numbingness from the Sichuan peppercorns, along with some fragrance, presumably from sesame oil. It reminded me a bit of salivating chicken you find in some Szechuan spots, but it was more aromatic and a bit less spicy. The other appetizer was the Steamed Edamame/岩鹽毛豆 with Himalayan pink salt for CAD 5.95. The other person chose between this and the vegetable dumplings, as he avoids pork, and it was, of course, lighter than the other appetizer. The decent portion of edamame was topped with some pickled carrots as a garnish. My main dish was the Braised Beef Noodles/紅燒牛肉面/Hong Shao Niu Rou Mian. The dish included several options, including size, noodle style, and spice level. I chose the large for CAD $20.95, medium spice, and for the noodle style, I chose flat/宽面, as it was closest to the prism style I like at Lanzhou spots in the States. Along with these, I also added a tea egg for an extra CAD 2.95. Outside the add-on, the dish also had a couple of large slices of radish. Compared to some spots in NYC, I slightly preferred the QQ/bouncy texture of the noodles at a spot near me. However, the broth was better here with a balanced amount of mala, though I would likely order spicy next time, as I tend to add chili oil to the relatively lighter Lanzhou broths. The beef was also much better, being tender with a mild chew regardless of whether it was tendon or other cuts. The tea egg was flavorful and worth the add-on, especially when the inside was dipped further into the broth. I can see why others order this. The other person went with the Signature Stir-fried Noodles/招牌炒面/Chao Tatiaozi. There was an option of protein, and he went with Chicken for $17.95 and added the same egg. I tried a bit, and there was a pleasant pepperiness with a bit of numbing flavor, but less than my dish. The noodles had a good bounciness and overall had a slightly better chewiness than mine. This was lighter overall, but also tasty. This spot has apparently come to the US already at the Mall of America, and I would love it if there were a location closer to me. Good place.

    My wife is responsible for this restaurant adventure. I am not a big Chinese food fan because a…read moredinner of fried rice, Kung Pao chicken, and a fortune cookie ranks in my book on the low end of a fine dining experience. So I was delighted to find out what a talented chef can do with Chinese-influenced cuisine. But first, the location. This was our first time visiting Toronto so we were unfamiliar with the city's neighborhoods. When we stepped out of the Uber, I surveyed what appeared to be a grittier environment than the downtown area. I wasn't overly concerned. A cardboard sign taped to a window directed us down a hallway to the restaurant's entrance. It is a curious marketing approach and the sign could easily be missed by patrons, but it did add a little mystery to whatever awaited us behind the restaurant door. When we entered, we were immediately greeted by a pleasant hostess and an energetic vibe. The hostess confirmed our reservation (which had been guaranteed by a credit card) and offered to take our coats and umbrella. We were soon seated in pleasantly decorated, almost traditional-looking Chinese joint. Our server, Alex, cheerfully greeted us, asked us if this was our first time at Sunny's, and then gave a brief explanation of the culinary concept behind Sunny's approach to Chinese cuisine. In the interest of your time, I will quickly sum up our dining experience especially as you can easily find other online reviewers that make mention of their favorite dishes: Exceptionally friendly and efficient service (kudos to Alex!), quickly served, unique, and flavorful dishes, and wine and cocktail offerings (including non-alcoholic options) that pair well with the wide-ranging choice of entrees. A hghly recommended, surprisingly fun and delectable culinary experience.

    Was in the Kensington area enjoying a summer weekend and remembered Sunny's was nearby. Came here…read moreto try the dessert since I've heard so many great things about it. Sunny's is located within a small hallway, look for a nostalgic hk style neon sign outside a non descript door. We were treated warmly and I advised the hostess I wanted to drop in quickly for their popular sesame dessert, and was promptly seated in their outdoor patio. They have a quaint and surprisingly quiet outside patio. We ordered the sesame French toast and it came out exactly how I imagined it. I request the oolong condensed milk on the side. It was a light and small treat for the afternoon. The sesame flavour wasn't overwhelming and the sweetness was just right.
