    Worst place for bbq. Nothing to eat but 40$/person. Don't waste your $$$. Go somewhere else. Nothing good to eat. Bill include 12% tips but the credit card machine still ask u for more tips, just skip. Check your bill 1st before paying.

    I came here with a friend after not being here since before the pandemic and the prices have definitely gone up but the service remains great! There was no wait time here on the Thursday evening I went in, while the Gyubee in the same plaza already has a wait time of 1 hour. We were seated right away and within 5 minutes we already had our food ready to be grilled, which was amazing. The servers were super attentive and despite me being one to drink so much water that we usually end up getting the water pitcher brought to our table whenever I go out to eat, my water cup remained pretty much full for the entire meal. Empty plates were taken away really quickly too. The food was exactly how I remembered it pre-pandemic, however the sushi was kind of cold and a tiny bit stale. I don't really recommend getting the fish since it sticks to the grill and is hard to fry properly due to this. The ice cream is different now where they have packaged little Chapman's icecream cups but it was still fine. Parking is a breeze here since it has a large parking lot that it shares with the large plaza. It is also easy to transit here as it's right at Midland and McNicoll.

    They had amazing lamb and beef it was very well marinated, all their food was very good, they had amazing customer service and the scenery was very nice.

    I love coming to this all you can eat Korean bbq place whenever i visit Toronto. The service is always good . Quality of meats and everything else is also always good. They have a senior discount !! When busy, they limit seating to 2 hours i think . Trust me, you will be so stuffed after an hour , you don't need more time . They used to offer really nice ice cream dessert but I guess due Covid , it's only ice cream cups ... quality not so delicious ! Don't order everything from the get go... you won't be able to eat it all ! Go with one of most things only , then re order . Pricing is excellent too.

    I came here last night for the first time for the AYCE dinner (usually I only come here for late night). This review is based on my collective experiences as a whole. You can expect the wait times at chako to be decently long at times, especially on a Saturday night. I waited for maybe 50 minutes this time around, and it kind of sucked because by the time we got in they were already doing last call for sushi. So a good tip here is to not come at an awkward in between time like 8:00... either come early for dinner or wait until 10 for late night so your time is maximized. The menu selection is a lot more extensive when you go for dinner, as you can choose from sushi and more meat and veggie kbbq options. Last night the beef was a little off, as it was too thickly sliced for my liking and was super dry... though I've never had problems in the past with their beef. Their kimchi is by far my favourite part about chako ever... I don't know how they prepare their kimchi but there's a bit of a sweet taste to it which is really good... I have yet to discover any other restaurant that makes kimchi as good as them, not even close! Service here was pretty good. Servers were always nearby to cater to needs and came with everything in good time. Our server said what each dish was as he put them down, which I could appreciate. There could be a bit more improvement in little attentive things though, like refilling on water. To sum it up, chako is a great place to come for AYCE kbbq. It's a given that you can't expect as good of quality in beef as a la carte places. For me personally, the variety you get for regular dinner is nice, but I'll likely stick to coming here for late night only, because it feels more worth it. For the price of regular dinner here, I think I would prefer to go somewhere else. As well, the benefit of having too much selection turned into a drawback for me because I got stuffed pretty quickly off of all the rice in the sushi. The late night options are more than suffice, as they include all the necessities for a satisfying kbbq experience.

    Not my first time going, but's it's been a long time since I've been. The place has a very modern look to it. It has a romantic ambiance, but can also be good for friends. We went in for the late night cheap option. When you compare the full dinner menu to the late night menu, you still get a lot of great options. Highest points: Firstly, the cuts of meat were great. They were cut thicker than usual, but still cooked quickly. Second, the marinade used for the meat was delicious and made the food all that much better. It was a good blend of sweet and savoury. Definitely think that the pork was the best part. Third, the wait staff was kind and welcoming. Even though it was a late night, they were still walking around with smiles and helpful. Lowest points: The ventilation was pretty bad. I had a hard time breathing near the end. I could also tell I had inhaled a lot of smoke because my lungs were burning. It was also smoky (a constant layer of fog) throughout the place. It may have just been a fluke, but that's what it was like. I would definitely go back. The price is definitely worth the food.

    Service: I went on a Friday night with around 20 people so we reserved seats but we still had to wait for a bit. The lady at the front desk was a bit rude but our servers were really nice. They came back to fill our waters around 5 times in the 2 hours we were there and they also provided us with many napkins. Food: There was a wide variety of meats, veggies and sushi to choose from as we went for weekend dinner. The meat looked frozen but they tasted relatively the same as other acye korean bbq joints. The salmon for the sashimi tasted kind of old but were still edible. I don't blame them as they're not a acye sushi joint though. The ice cream come in small portions and they're really good and you can order more. Price: I ended up paying $40 for only myself which is quite expensive for an acye korean bbq. Price was $28.99 but they added on a service fee and then after tax came to $36.70 and then I tipped the waiter $3.30. Keep in the mind that the total prices they give you don't include tip for the waiters. Environment: It's a very lively and modern place to eat at but I came home with my clothes smelling like kbbq. I don't really mind that though. Overall, service was great, food was adequate, price was expensive, and environment is nice. I wouldn't come back though as there are other places that are cheaper and price is a big factor for me.

    One of the well known ayce places that serves both kbbq and sushi, my friend and I ventured here, hoping to fill our tummies. We went during the afternoon on a weekend and there were still many tables unoccupied. In the first round, the server told us that they'd bring out everything and they just take back anything we didn't touch. The quality of the meats were okay but I enjoyed the beef ribs the most. I felt like for sushi, they packed lots of rice hence filling us up quickly. All in all, I felt that the price we paid for the food wasn't as up to standard as I wanted but service wasn't too bad!!

The establishment has a casual dine-in setup, offering a relaxed atmosphere suitable for a quick meal or a short break during the day. Despite being a dine-in restaurant, all food is served in takeout boxes, which, while convenient for those on the go, slightly diminishes the overall dining experience for those choosing to eat on the premises. The food quality itself was acceptable. Reasonably portioned, adequately seasoned, and prepared in a timely manner. While it may not stand out as exceptional, it fulfills the expectations for a casual meal. However, the main issue that significantly impacted my experience was the cleanliness of the tables. The first table I sat at had a noticeably sticky surface, which immediately raised concerns about hygiene and maintenance. Assuming it was an isolated case, I moved to a second table, only to encounter the same problem. A third attempt produced similar results, suggesting that this is not an isolated incident but rather a recurring issue throughout the dining area. A sticky table surface not only detracts from comfort but also gives the impression that cleaning practices are not being properly observed between guests. This, unfortunately, overshadowed what could have been a satisfactory meal. In summary, while the restaurant offers decent food at a fair value, the overall dining environment requires improvement, particularly in the table cleanliness and food presentation. Until this concern is addressed, I would recommend opting for takeout instead of dining in, as the food quality is adequate, but the in-house dining conditions fall short of acceptable standards.

Not the best sushi I had but it's decent, I think toro toro is much better deal, but I appreciate that this place serves really good quality fish but I wish they would give a bit more for the price. It is not a sit down place it's only for takeout it is inside a mall, the torched roll was really good the fish melts in your mouth, I still think toro toro is the best sushi I tasted.

It's a good option if you're looking for something filling without spending too much. Since this is the "special" lunch menu, it is noticeably smaller compared to their regular lunch menu, which is $28.99. You're probably looking at around five options per category at best, and some sections only had two choices. That said, the core sushi and rolls had the most variety, which worked out fine for us since that's mainly what we were there for anyway. In terms of quality, it was pretty much what you'd expect from an AYCE spot, but maybe we got lucky that day because the salmon was actually better than most places. Definitely one of the better bites of the meal. There's also a buffet-style salad and dessert table, so it was great when you just want a little bit of everything without the fear of wasting food. Overall, a solid lunch option in Markham if you're craving sushi and don't mind a smaller menu in exchange for the lower price.
