I had high hopes based on the pictures and the menu I saw online however I was left a bit underwhelmed. To start with the positives there is a good amount of seating space inside and the service was quick. The food also came out hot. There are lots of options and also daily deals so there's something for everyone. I can't remember exactly what I got, but it was a beef curry dish and we got kimchi fries to share with the table. My food was good, but it definitely could've been better. It lacked salt and flavor. The texture of the beef was fine but the noodles were overcooked. The kimchi fries were just decent. I don't see myself returning here as I think there are many other food options in the Vaughan Mills Plaza that could satisfy a hungry craving, but I'm glad I gave flaming kitchen a shot! read more

I really wanted to like this one y'all... but it fell flat. I ordered a build your own sizzling plate with tom yum sauce, rice, and salmon.... The rice and fish were perfect but the tom yum sauce was not .... (How the kids say it...) tom yumming. Service was Swift, and the establishment was nicely decorated, fun to look at, but I felt that the pricing of the plates just paid for the decor. I'm hoping I get humbled thế next time I go and that maybe I chose a dish thát wasn't thế best, but my wife didn't like her cheesy tomato dish at all. read more

Such a great casual spot for lunch. It was surprisingly quiet when we came, which made it even better. The food came out fast and piping hot! The cheesy corn was just okay; it wasn't very sweet and could've used more butter or a roasted flavor. The popcorn chicken was amazing though. It was super crispy, perfectly seasoned, and great with the dipping sauce. The rice cakes had a nice chew and the rose sauce had a light kick without being too spicy. We actually liked dipping the popcorn chicken in that sauce more. The truffle spaghetti was rich, creamy, and full of umami, with scallops that were a good size and portioned well. read more

Flaming Kitchen - Sizzling Cheesy Corn Sizzling Spicy Rice Cake Popcorn chicken Truffle Cream Jumbo Scallop Spaghetti - Asian Fusion Near Me - Woodbridge, Ontario

It was our last night in Canada and we wanted to go out for one more dinner. We decided on this place because it was located near Vaughan Mills and it was close to our hotel. It was cold and we didn't feel like driving far. We got immediately seated after arriving. The place is small and cozy, with all of the tables being long booths that are situated along each wall. On the walls are large washboard-like boards that have various logos and designs on them. The counter can also be seen off to the side as well and it's usually where the servers hang out when the customers have been served. We ordered the following: C5- Sizzling cheesy corn- you get a choice of spicy or regular and we opted for the regular. Hubs said that this is the first time that he ordered it specifically regular and he was surprised that he liked it. He said that he doesn't usually care for anything with cheese but it was nice and savory. H13 - Tomato seafood udon soup- it's with pork bone broth. Warning to those who are vegetarian. Even though it says tomato seafood soup, in Chinese it says it has pork bone broth in it. Hubs said that he expected it to be tomato-ey. He said that it looks like a concoction where you throw everything in the kitchen in there. LOL. But, he still liked it. F2- Angus steak set with rice black pepper - we ordered it rare but got it medium rare. Daughter thought it was good but nothing spectacular. T8- cold Lychee black tea with no sugar- this was pretty good. We were surprised with this place. The place looked freezing inside, but it was surprisingly warm. This was our last night and we wanted to go somewhere nearby and settled on this place. Glad we did! read more

Order the Truffle rice cake! It has a bold truffle flavor. I love the sauciness of this dish! The sizzling plates lack flavor despite adding the sauce! The portion of the mango slush was worth your money. The sukiyaki hotpot was flavorful. read more

After a bit of window shopping at Vaughan Mills, we came over for lunch. The menu is quite extensive and took me a while to get through. There's the option to order with a server or with the QR code on the table. Service isn't notable here. The only interaction we had with the server was them bringing our food and the bill. The wait wasn't too long, and our dishes came out one by one. Each dish came out sizzling. One of my dining companions ordered the deluxe set. This came with shrimp, scallops, salmon, duck, beef, and chicken! Definitely worth the extra few dollars if you like all of these. The spicy chicken noodle wasn't too spicy for me, and it had great flavour. We all really enjoyed our dishes. My only regret is not ordering dessert. read more

This Pepper Lunch imitator has a pretty wide menu, but falls short in its attempt to replicate the experience. It also doesn't quite stand as its own beast, either. Meat lovers Teppanyaki (with added cheese) was decent. It had chicken, beef & duck. The sauce wasn't as good as Pepper Lunch's plus they charged for more sauce. If I hadn't added cheese the dish would've been too dry. There was a good portion of meat for the price ($14.99) though. Shake shake fries (seaweed) were so so. The fries themselves were decent, dusted for crunch. However, the seaweed powder had little flavour, even when I poured it on liberally. The shake shake bag was much too weak - I shook a bit & it broke. Service was Asian, especially as ordering could be done online. read more

If you want to hear the sizzle then head down to the Flaming Kitchen. Flaming Kitchen offers sizzling Chinese rice, noodle & app dishes. It's hard to pick between customizable DIY options & teppanyaki, but we settled on some popular picks: - Black Curry Pork Cutlet Rice ($15.99): crispy katsu accompanied by mild curry sauce - Super Deluxe Teppanyaki Rice ($19.99): shrimp, duck, beef, scallops, chicken, salmon - Sukiyaki Beef Soup Udon ($14.99): with sweet soy sauce & enoki mushroom - Sizzling Cheesy Corn ($5.99): sweet corn cheese pull is always a crowd-pleaser This was good but we wished sauce flavour was bolder. Even still, the dishes satisfied our appetite with plenty to-go too. This is certainly a hot spot for affordable Chinese food. read more

No-frills fusion casual Asian restaurant Service: The staff handled our orders well and brought out the food fairly quickly, nothing too special to write about. Food: The numbing spice shrimp udon dish was more spicy than numbing, despite what the name suggests, and the spice level built up a bit as you ate more of it (also because the sizzling plate was really hot as well). The popcorn chicken was well done, as were the fries (which had crispy bits on the outside, very similar to the type you find at Costco). However, the portion size for the noodles was definitely on the smaller side. My co-workers who had the rice dishes said it was more filling (although it may be due to the volume of rice rather than the proteins/veggies). The food reminds me of that you would find at a HK cafe-type restaurant. Atmosphere: The restaurant wasn't too busy, but it was a weekday lunch so that was expected. The decor was nice inside the restaurnt, and was clean and cozy. Overall: Great for a quick lunch or get-together, affordable and decent food. Tips: Debit or cash are the only accepted forms of payment. read more

A lot of the dishes all taste the same but I love the fact they're open late and the food is very affordable

The food was good, a bit too oily for my palate. Friendly and nice service. Nice atmosphere

Came here on a Sunday just as it opened at noon. The menu is biased towards meals on sizzling hot plates and fried fare (which is completely on brand). If you are looking for a lighter meal, you might want to keep looking. We did order the salmon and shrimp salad which came exactly as advertised (Salmon. And shrimp. On a salad). It had an interesting and pleasant char on the entire salad. Their signature dish is rice, with your choice of meat, placed on a sizzling hot plate and tossed in a garlic butter and sauce. You can add sides, like an egg. The hot plate is served to you so you can make yourself a nice fried rice. The hot plate comes surrounded by a paper ring that warns: "This plate is over 200 C. Please be careful & don't touch the plate!" This keeps the oils from splashing off the sizzling plate and on your body. Pro tip: if you are a six year old kid you can also use the ring as a crown. Pro parent tip: Don't let your kid do this. The restaurant has a generously overpriced drinks menu; lots of variety but $6.95 for a Ribena soda? I mean, I guess that's expected in a restaurant, but it still hurts. My reco is to drink water at Flaming Kitchen and then go to one of the many bubble tea stores in the same mall. The restaurant applies 15% gratuity for parties of 7 or more. But the servers tell you this when you come in and again when you pay, which is good. If you have a toddler, you should know that the restaurant isn't best. I mean, the food comes with its own safety warning! Also, no change tables or high chairs that I could see. read more

Flaming Kitchen - Sizzling okonomiyaka fries. They are fries. On a sizzling plate. With okonomiyaka. A hit with the kids. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Woodbridge, Ontario

Perhaps because I was starving, so it felt that the food takes longer to arrive. But boy when the cheesy corn appetizer came, it tasted like heaven! Super cheesy and creamy, sweet and Savoury at the same time! I also got their flaming chicken appetizer and loved the flavour and seasoning! Husband ordered the creamy spaghetti with duck breast, and I ordered the curry pork chop. Both were delicious and we devoured all the food completely! Took away a star because the service could use some improvements. for example, the server did not wipe our table before seating us (there was a wet cup stain on the table), did not give us water until we asked him half way through our meals and he actually wanted to serve the food from where my toddler was sitting. We had to ask him to serve them on the other side. Minor things but he could be more thoughtful. read more

Flaming Kitchen - Curry Pork chop - Asian Fusion Near Me - Woodbridge, Ontario

Unassuming from the outside and not a big space inside, but I think I'll be returning based on convenience. Flaming Kitchen has a simple offering - a variety of build-your-own meals featuring a protein, a sauce, and a carb, all served on a sizzling hot plate or bowl. Generally speaking the food is not unique nor exceptional in flavour or presentation, so not that much to write home about. The experience has been reliable and nothing of concern, and I'll be back for a simple meal where I know I probably won't have to wait to be seated (except for weekend dinner rush). Their location is very ideal for convenience and proximity to other complementary vendors too (bubble tea!) so that's really great. Back to the food. The sizzling hot plate is no joke so it's a cooking and eating experience. And seriously - BE CAREFUL! Once your food is served you need to make sure your protein of choice is making good contact and getting flipped to get the right cooking happening right away. It all smells amazing right away because of the hot plate but no you can't dig in immediately. The rice is very thoughtful in that the sauce is contained within, allowing your hot plate to grill off your meat right off the start and then you can lower the temperature and spread out the rice once you've got everything seared. Noodle dishes have the sauce mixed through already, so you'll need to ensure to push things around to avoid it sticking and burning, and still ensure to find your protein to get it contacting the hot plate. Protein portions are generous for the price, and one plate of food overall is definitely quite filling - more than a lunch, perfect for a full dinner. They also boast single portion hot pots or double portion hot pots that I have yet to try, but look quite promising as well. This option looks like it gets a bit more expensive on build-your-own, so I do recommend the preset combos. The downside of course is that it takes even longer for things to be boiled than seared on a plate, so patience is key. One thing I noted is their water containers are super dusty at the spout - probably because of the hot plates spraying oils and sauces everywhere and that splash work hits where they don't expect. Do your inspection and don't be afraid to ask for a clean(er) one! This knocks off a star all on its own - but is easily rectified. read more

This joint was interesting. I found it on a Monday when the local Thai place was closed. So going against the best interest of my heart, I tried the fried chicken appetizer. It was hot, taste was ok and it was greasy AF. Dark meat which was ok. Moving on I had a udon soup which was loaded with shrimp, fake crab and was pretty spicy. I would order that again. The largest takeaway was my drive home and how it cleaned me out. With a half hour plus drive home. I could feel the growl in my stomach. I had to pull over to a local mall. As my stomach was giving me gurgles, I had to clench muscles that normally would not need that care and attention. Considering that I would be coming home to a full house, my pride and honour were on the line, and extra laundry was not something I had time for. I parked my truck. Walked to the entrance and into the mall preventing the inevitable. Fearful of recreating the scene in I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, I magically made my way to a private office and the explosion occurred. I was fearful and pale making my way but thankfully the good guys won. Will use extreme caution next time. read more

I always wanted to try this place. Every Friday - I take my mom out to go grocery shopping and to go eat since we do not spend a lot of time together since I've moved out. We had to get some Christmas shopping done at Vmills and I rmbed this place opened plus they had lots of different durian desserts which is my mom's favorite fruit. I ordered their super deluxe teppanyaki rice $19.99. Came with rice, beef, salmon, duck, scallops, shrimp and pork - my mom wanted to try this as well and it was super delicious. I thought it would have been plain because you cannot see any season or sauces but it IS THERE! It is in the rice! AND HOLY, it was so gooooood. The sizzling plate charred up the rice and the meats soooo nicely and the sauce was just too perfect. My mom got the House special curry Laksa shrimp soup udon $12.99 for us to share, it was a bit on the sour side than savory but still very good. We also ordered the durian spring rolls $8.99 that my mom loved too much to share. She ate the whole thing lol. I cannot wait to bring my hubby here. We still have a couple more people to shop for and will be making another trip here. There's a couple of things I wanted to try from other reviews. I want to try the sizzling okonmiyaki fries, Tom yum shrimps and their jumbo unagi teppanyaki rice - it looks so delicious! This place was super clean, their tables were spaced out and the server wore a mask and gloves. It was reassuring to know they took every precaution to keep us safe. Happy Eating fellow yelpers! Stay safe and well until we eat again! xox read more

Sizzling meals at a great price! Love that there's also an option to customize your own plates but I stuck with their Truffle Cream one. Excellent flavour and portion! A tad let down by their dessert though and would order something different or go elsewhere in the plaza. Would come back here just for their sizzling meals :) read more

After a little after-work shopping therapy, my friend and I decided to satisfy our hunger. This concept was not strange to me as Hong Kong has something similar in most malls' food courts and I remembered when I was in HK a few years back, that's one of my go-to places. The idea of having your food served on a sizzling grill brings out the flavor of the protein of your choice and ensures your food was served sizzling hot. This location (unsure about the other two they have) has daily specials starting at $1.99! On the day of our visit, it was sizzling cheesy corn, so we opted in on that as our starter, followed by a black curry pork cutlet soup udon and house special spicy beef rice for my friend. We were both a little disappointed when the appetizer wasn't bubbling and the cheese wasn't able to melt properly, hence creating a more watery creamy corn for us, yet the other table's cheesy corn was bubbling heavily to that point of being able to hear the bubbles. Our main courses arrived shortly after. The rice was served on the hot plate, the sauce was bubbling as if a volcano has just erupted, WITHOUT its famous paper ring guard that protected you from getting burnt from that yummy delicious sauce. Taste-wise, it was lovely! A little sweet, and has a nice kick of spice to your rice. The black curry udon was NOT BUBBLING HOT! It was stale warm. The pork cutlet was very crunchy and not dry, which is something I appreciate. However, here's the gross part, as I was stirring the pot (pun definitely not intended), I found a piece of hair in my soup, it was visibly obvious as udon were pale white and it was a piece of black hair. I immediately called the server who was an older man that has a manager vibe to me. He looked at me as if I was making up stories, so I pointed out that my hair was tied up and I have light brown hair, and my friend who didn't have her hair tied up, was sitting across from me. He then asked if I wanted a new one... uh... hello? Am I going to say "No" and kept eating? Yeah if it was pre-covid then I might, but just the thought of it grossed me out, so I said yes, give me a new one. When the new one came, it WAS BUBBLING HOT! That's how it was supposed to be from the beginning! The overall experience at this location wasn't great, it won't turn me off from going back to other Flaming Kitchens as it was well within budget for an easy lunch or dinner. read more

Small but cute interior inside Flaming Kitchen Woodbridge. Limited seating, but fine for parties of 2 or 4. I ordered the Black Curry Cheesy Beef Rice, and while it was cheesy and delicious- the meat/ protein portion is small in comparison. Still was an overall great meal. read more

I had an assignment due and didn't feel like cooking. While going through my options, i came across this place and they were offering a BOGO on select items. I ordered the flaming chicken spicy noodles, one for each of us. When it arrived, it was neatly packed with the noodles on a side and the portion of chicken. Loved the drawing on the box. Instant noodles, cheese and chicken- the perfect comfort food definition. It just goes to satisfy that craving in a good way. The portion is decent too, we were able to finish most of our food and were full. Will have to visit them once I can to try more of their delicious food. They seem to be in other parts of the city however have just opened this location. $11.99 for noodles and chicken and on BOGO with taxes came to about $20. Not bad at all. read more

1st pic: takeout box from flaming kitchen (left) vs take out box from other places. It's like 2/3 of that size, at most. 2nd pic: menu description of what was ordered. 3rd and 4th pic: what we actually got. Take note of sizes of the proteins (and the scallops were very over cooked and rubbery). Not worth the price, or portion at all. The reason for 1 star is based on taste of the spicy chicken noodles. Would not go back. Had good expectations because we used to like the one in Markham. read more

They try to be Pepper Lunch but of course you can't find the same taste here. The funny thing is Pepper Lunch's sauce is way better and you can have as much as you want while here you have to pay for extra sauce and it's not even close. read more

Food: always great food (takes some time to make though). Drinks are great as well so no complaints in this department. Value: The price is average for a place like this but i think the variety the menu has is AMAZING. Youre bound to find something for everyone with dozens of custom meals available as well. Service: I prefer going when the young guy is working as hes always paying attention to the customers as a pose to the woman as she is either usually looking down on her phone or not noticing you when you need something. Im a regular and go here typically 2-3 times a month :) read more
