    A type of hole in the wall place that I have been eyeing quite sometimes. As I met up with another foodie at The Art of Cake, I was thinking to make a stop before going back to the south area. I didn't realize this business is CASH ONLY so I decided to do my quick grocery at Lucky 97 and asked for a cash back. No dining tables nor chairs! It's basically a place where you can get all your typical Chinese BBQ Chicken, Duck, or Pork. They also sell sausages, fresh noodles and marinated squids. This time, I bought a half roasted duck and a lunch combo with 1 item (I choose roasted duck). The duck was tasty. I'll be back to try the soya chicken or chicken feet.

    Barbecue King City is one of those hidden gems in Chinatown that specializes in what else but roasted and barbequed meats. I never realized one of my buddy's parents run this place and never been. Blasphamy. Needed to change that ASAP so I went solo one Friday afternoon to grab a late lunch. Located right beside 97 Hot Pot and near rival Super BBQ Delight (no idea if they're actually rivals but it sounds sexy), you probably will drive/walk right by it. Maybe not though because I've seen quite a few cops drop in for lunch and you know what they say about cops...they know all the good lunch spots! Hours are interesting as they're closed Thursday but open every other day (11am to 7pm). They have all the different types of meats (steamed, salted and roasted chicken along with pork, duck and squid) and noodles for sale. Everything is priced by the pound (around the $7-9/lb price range). - Two item lunch box ($7.00) - yeah, you read that right. $7.00 freaking dollars for a massive lunch box filled with your choice of two meats, rice and bok choy. Yeah, you even read that last part right - you get vegetables! Almost unheard of right? Anyways, I went with the classics - char siu (BBQ pork) and siu app (roasted duck). The char sui was moist and juicy while the roasted duck was tender and had a good fat (aka. duck skin) to meat ratio. The box is basically exploding with meat and rice but I was able to finish it all. Oops. Cash only. Seriously, for the price, you can't go wrong (if you're that hurtin', get the one meat combo for $6.00). Great spot if you want something quick and tasty to eat. So much better than CFL, just sayin'.

    My boyfriend was eager to drop in to this small location last week. Having just finished another meal I was a little hesitant, but in we went. It's a very small space intended for takeout or purchasing meat by the pound. We were not starving so we decided to share a lunch combo with two meat options. You get what you expect and sometimes that's everything you need. We chose the BBQ pork and the roasted duck. The meat comes with a generous serving of rice with a portion of bok choy on the side. We choose to have our rice with sauce on top- the other option presumably being no sauce. The combo comes with a fair portion of both meats, but once you start eating they seem to disappear. I have not eaten around much in terms of Chinese BBQ, and it was my first experience with barbecue duck. I have to say it was really delicious and some of the best I've had in the city! The meat was tender and full of flavour, it was perfectly juicy over the fluffy bed of rice. Of course the star was the crispy skin, absolutely amazing. I am a big fan of places that serve simple options prepared very well and Barbecue King hit the mark. It smelt so good I ate my half (and probably more) on our drive home. I was very impressed by the quality. There were several customers that were there ahead of us and even more followed in behind us. It was nice to see the shared appreciation for great food and amazing prices. The two piece lunch combo was less than $10! They are located downtown which can be a pain sometimes, but if you're in the area it's a great option! I would definitely recommend Barbeque King if you're looking for a fast and delicious Chinese BBQ. They do only take cash and it is all takeout, so make sure you come prepared, but it's absolutely worth it! Happy to five five stars for perfectly satisfying expectations. We will for sure be returning again!

    Blue orchid has been a preferred restaurant of mine for a while. We've often ordered from them via…read moreSkipTheDishes, and have really enjoyed the food that we get. We usually go with the combination dinners which include wonton soup, spring rolls, chicken, fried rice, and two entrées. We went to eat in person this week, and the service was excellent. We went on a Thursday so the ambiance was quite quiet but it's a nice clean space with very friendly staff and the food is even better fresh from the kitchen. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the authentic Chinese food.

However, it can be a challenge to find a parking spot if people are attending church at the time you arrive. My family has been eating here for a few years and I even celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary here. Alex and the rest of the staff ensures all the customers are well taken care of. He had heart balloons and flowers for our table which made the occasion even more special. The food is fabulous, the peaches and shrimp dish is so good as well as the beef with Gai lan and the tofu assorted vegetable hot pot. Noodles and desserts are great as well! We have tried so many dishes here it is hard to name them all. This restaurant is also on SkipTheDishes and with my referral, my office has ordered on several occasions. Everyone was very happy with their lunch choices! Excellent food and service, prices are very reasonable and if this restaurant was closer to my home, we would be eating her all the time!

    Walking in to One01 Bistro is a pleasant surprise. It's spotless, classy-looking on the inside,…read moreeven the bathroom! Huge change from the dark paint and warehouse styling from the previous AYCE sushi place. They have divided the space nicely including a large private room. It also helps that YEG's notorious Boyle St Co-op, formerly next door, has been raised to the ground, thus moving the hardcore zombies a few blocks north. You can actually park your vehicle safely in their free lot now, for up to 2 hours. Security is watching and even checks in with you when you park. As for the food, in my experience it's all been great! The menu is a funny combo of different cuisines, definitely befitting the name "bistro". There are a variety of asian dishes (Chinese, Japanese, Thai), HK-style foods and very traditional western cuisine like beef bourguignon. That one intrigues me, super old school and looks really good. There are also some set menus that come with drinks. It's one of the few places I feel spoiled for interesting selection, hard to make a choice. Chinatown Dining Week has brought me back here three times in as many weeks, got hooked by the beef and sour veg steamed in a lotus wrap. This visit my husband got the gyukatsu set, which was really good if you can live with slightly sweet Glico-style curry. The omurice was perfect. Their katsu particularly is really, really good, better than your average schnitzel, and much cheaper! Have been back a few times and even brought the extended family. There's something for everyone! Everything we've tried has been tasty, fresh and a generous portion. Previously we tried the bistro premium fried rice which had scallops and tobiko, delicious. My food-restricted niece tried the crispy shrimp appy, which were really tasty and more like prawn-size. Not sure she got many back after offering to share with the table. Ah Chinatown. Been coming here my whole life but always get the side-eye, usually from the owner, until ordering. The experience wouldn't be the same without it. The other staff were more genuinely friendly and happy the food was enjoyed. One01Bistro is officially a new family favourite, especially before events at Rogers Place. Psst also... cheap beer.

They have a parking lot for customers at the back but be cautious of your surroundings since it is downtown. The food here is delicious, tried a few things and everything was very good and attentive service from the staff. The crispy golden tofu was soft but didn't fall apart. The noodle dishes, fabulous! Also a great place to watch the Oiler playoffs if you are not interested in a noisy pub.

There is also a lunch buffet option but we didn't try it out. Service and ambiance - 3/5. It wasn't busy so they were not paying much attention. Once you are able to flag them down, they do provide services relatively quickly Cleanliness - 2/5. Typical, some dirty dishes. The server saw but didn't do anything and wanted to put soup in it. We quickly grabbed a new set where multiple sets were ready for distribution when neccessary. As Asians, we generally wash all of our bowls and utensils prior using as our practice with hot water or tea (depending on what you ask for). Food - 4/5. The chicken casserole was flavourful, just a lot of bones. The beef was very soft and tender. The sweet and sour pork chops had a thick tangy sauce but good that it had a light batter around the meat, which kept the meat moist. The chicken is the typical dish you can get at most Chinese restaurants. It was interesting that it actually sat in a soy sauce base. The ginger sauce is missing the typical green onions. However, it was seasoned quite well. I didn't take a picture of dessert though. It was red bean with glutinous rice sweet soup. I actually quite enjoyed it. Overall: 3.5/5. It's an ok place to try if you are in the area. It's has free parking. Just be vigilent with the bowls and utensils.
