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.

Even though we had a…read morereservation, we had to wait almost 45 minutes after for our table Me and my girlfriend saw that the downtown location has sushi so we were excited to give it a try We ordered one of each sushi and they were average to below average the sauce is on the sushi were a bit watered down so I had a very bland taste to it. The meat has always at gyubee is very good well marbled good seasoning. But the chicken wings are always so good! Crispy and very flavorful I don't know if it was just the tables around us, but it was very loud with people talking. So it was hard for us to talk to each other without speaking up. Overall, I don't think it's worth it to come to this location specifically for the sushi but it's nice that it's there.

Love this location of the popular Korean BBQ chain!…read more Super friendly service from all members of staff; clean and spacious restaurant to fit all group sizes. We got the pork belly and the beef short rib plus drinks and steamed rice. All the side dishes (kimchi, bean sprouts, seaweed salad, corn cheese, egg, lettuce, garlic, potato salad, etc.) are refillable except the complimentary soup and the glass noodles. It's a great place to go if you are hungry! The meat portions are very reasonable and more than enough, I recommend you go with a group and order 1-2 portions of meat per person, so you can share and try the different cuts of meat. Washrooms downstairs, inaccessible.

Favorites were the pork belly and boneless beef rib that were quite juicy and tender.

Definitely a good place to come if you're craving BBQ.

I really like Benny's barbecue. I've been there twice this week. I have never had barbecue turkey…read morebefore. Here I had it in a sandwich. It was moist, smoky and delicious. It served that soft round sweet bun reminiscent of Chick-fil-A. The brisket barbecue beans are exactly that. Barbecue beans, with a slight spice to it and some big chunks of brisket. Yum! The brisket sandwich is also excellent. They asked if I wanted it in slices or chopped and I had it chopped and loved it. The barbecue sauce is more in the ketchup beside, but that's fine. Coleslaw is OK. The serving of cornbread is small for the price. They don't serve barbecue chicken, which I found surprising but I love the brisket and the turkey and will be going back for more! And the guys working, they are very friendly.

My ribs were tender but not enough flavor. The brisket wasn't tough but wasn't super tender either, the fatty part was the best. Again not enough flavor. This came with a sausage, I got the jalapeño cheese which was delicious and dense. The best part of the tray was the mac n cheese. There is bbq sauce at each table which helped add more flavor to the meat. The pace is pretty big with a limited amount of seating inside. But they have a patio area as well.

Made a reservation here upon recommendation from my daughter who loves it here…read more The staff greeted my compañero and me immediately on entering (there is a long stairway to climb after entering). The booths are quite private and the ambience is relaxed and downscaled. No pretentiousness here! Our server,MJ, was bubbly, fun, and attentive. We ordered beef short ribs and beef tenderloin. There were multiple sides that came with dinner. See pictures. The food was amazing. We finished absolutely everything. I must say that the service is speedy and it's not a wining/dining experience. They don't have desserts. It's great for a preconcert dinner though. We will be back.

Coleslaw was one of the best I've ever had! Chicken wings were very overcooked, shrunken and dried up as if they'd been in a fryer for far too long. We were the only people in the restaurant, as it was between lunch and dinner time. Only as we neared the end of our meal, did another couple come in for drinks outside. We had to ask for drink refills and then also get our servers attention to request our check once we were ready to pay. The dry wings and inattentive service are the reasons for 4 stars instead of 5. Nevertheless, we plan on returning for ribs again soon and maybe to try some other menu items as well.

This is a small and cozy Thai restaurant,  which opened on 2024-10-01. They have elevated dining…read morebut not at an elevated price. They have a retro vibe, with decorations such as cassettes, records, spool film, old movie posters, etc. You can access their online menu via a QR Code or use a printed copy. There are four dishes that have a limited quantity per day. We ordered the following (check my menu photos for a description of the dishes): 1. Thai Milk Tea ($6.50). 2. "Do Not Disturb" Cocktail ($16.95). 3. Tum Kao Pod ($16.95). 4. Hoy Jor ($20.95). One of their signature dishes. 5. Chick N Chips ($14.95). 6. Lamb Si Klong with Sticky Rice ($34.95). One of their signature dishes. Their food is quite good and plated well, hence I considered it elevated dining, my words, not theirs. They even put some edible gold leaf on their signature dishes! I thought the taste was authentic. The downside is some items were too dry, like the chicken in the Chick N Fries and the Sticky Rice. The service is really good. Because there is limited seating, it is best to make a reservation. The tables are set up for 2 or 4 people. Reserving for 4+ people is a definite requirement since it may be hard to put adjacent tables together. Along with the retro vibe, some walls are illuminated by alternating neon colours. It makes for an "interesting" interior with changing colours. At least they don't affect the colours on your table much. This is a sister restaurant to Si Lom Thai Bistro, which is nearby. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms downstairs, thus they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street. There are high chairs for little children. Review 2024-237
