I could have eaten this on its own and would have been happy. The meat was fall off the bone, tender, wonderfully seasoned and paired so well with the rice balls and deep-fried tappoki Service was lovely and was gracious enough to help us serve their birthday cake. Nice open space to enjoy a meal with friends.

a friend suggested this place - burger with iranian twist. so we came together…read more this place has creative burger names...(yonge and steeles, yonge and eglinton, davisville, etc etc). ordered: 1. yonge englinton 2. davisville (beef patty, mushroom, caramel onion, cheddar cheese) 3. chicken nugget 4. chipotle dipping sauce (for the nugget). overall , the burger lacks of flavor. patty is slightly juicy. didnt really taste the cheddar cheese or the caramel onion. like sth is missing overall. not much sauce (i.e. not overpowering) but also too little. ended up using the chipotle on it .which makes the experience better ( my eating buddy ended up follow suit). and not enough chipotle in the end for the nugget. lol. i read the mixed review prior to coming here, but thought i'll give it a try myself. verdict - good for first timer. cheers!

My wife and I went to Smash Kitchen and Bar, and we had a generally good experience…read more The staff are friendly, the wait time for food was 13 minutes (yep, I time it), the food tasted great (we split the truffle mushroom baked eggs for the main, and Cathy's chocolate banana bread for dessert). Overall, a very pleasant experience. They only lost a point because there was an egg shell in our meal.

Smashing good brunch?…read more Smash Kitchen has been on our list to visit for a while till we finally had the opportunity. For more than a dozen years, this Markham spot has been known for good flavors and portions. The weekend brunch menu from 10am - 2:45pm had an assortment of creative dishes. We opted for their LA mac & cheese ($25) with a saucy cheese blend textured by herb crumbles. The soft shell crab benedict ($24) looked irresistible with two nicely poached eggs beside crab drizzled with maple buffalo hot sauce. While it came with no sides, bites of the whole fried soft shell crab on brioche toast were scrumptious. The inside of this restaurant is cavernous, featuring even a private room and patio. It's much larger than the dated plaza entrance would indicate. Staff were generally active at the tables, even delivering colour sheets to young ones. Skip it or hit it? It was a long time coming but brunch here didn't disappoint. Hit it!

Not the greatest in terms of flavour or plating. 4/10 recommend!

The portions are generous. The accompanying sauces flavourful and I appreciate that the meats weren't overly salty and just perfectly seasoned. We ordered a platter for 4 to feed 3 adults and 2 hungry kids and we have plenty to spare for leftovers. Some of us also ordered the individual build your own, which is also quite affordable and reasonably priced. My fav has to be the ribs and brisket. The Mac and Cheese disappeared quickly. The staff was really friendly and helpful and there was plenty of seating on a Sunday evening when we dined as a group of 8. Asked everyone's rating at our table, they gave this experience a 4.5-5 stars all around. Definitely a spot we don't mind returning to!

Looking forward to coming back.

For 8+ they had to connect tables of not same height and size, which made it awkward and some times wobbly.
