    We ordered the pulled pork poutine. It was very tasty and plentiful as a small order.

    I still like this burger place a lot. Food quality and portions are both consistently good. Crispy chicken burger with crunchy skin and juicy meat. Simply addictive. Way better than those burgers from franchise chains. Real food, big difference. Highly recommended!

    Kimchi burger with beet bun
    Lillian C.

    Love coming here for my burger fix. Its a small shop in the FMP food court tucked away by the thai place. I believe it's family owned and the staff there are always friendly, patient and hard working. Their menu isn't large but everything is delicious! I love that for the combo they let you choose the side you want; fries. Sweet corn or salad. I also really like that you can choose the type of bun; regular, beet or charcoal bun. The bun is super fluffy, and they way they pack the burgers, nothing gets squished. Literally all their burgers are delicious but my personal favourites are: kimchi, shrimp, crispy chicken. Definitely worth a try!

    Kimchi beef burger
    Amy Y.

    Been ages since we ate at the food court at First Markham Place. A few changes but this place is still around. Menu consists of burgers, poutine, pastas and salad. All the meat protein burgers start at 7.25 (11.25 for a combo), they have a pulled pork burger that is about a dollar less and a shrimp burger that is a dollar more. The avocado burger is just over 5 bucks. Poutines come in regular and large. The kimchi burger and the bacon butter corn poutine was ordered. At time of ordering we were told it would be about 8 minutes. Verdict? Food was good and very fresh. Generous portion of kimchi in the burger and the lettuce, onion and tomato were very fresh. The bacon in the poutine was impressive, it was the thick sliced pieces and not the regular breakfast bacon you would normally expect. This is a nice option in a food court where options are mainly Asian.

    Update : gave this place another shot since we were dining in this food court and felt like poutine. Im not sure if things changed since my last visit, but I now feel that the size was reasonable for the price. Poutine was tasty.

    Beef Teriyaki burger

    This place is not only out of place in FMP food court, it's uniquely better than most of the other places. Creative burgers and poutine place in a Chinese mall. Food - (4/5) - they have a good selection of unique burgers using a variety of proteins along with bun choices. Had the Beef Teriyaki and it was pretty good. Beef was cooked properly for taste and texture and the toppings and buns are good quality. The burger actually looks like the menu pictures lol. Service- (5/5) - very friendly and helpful with recommendations and answers. It's going to take longer than typical fast food burgers since they cook from scratch but not more than 10 min total. You can tell these guys really care about customer sat. Atmosphere- (3.75/5) - it's a food court so not much else to say. FMP keeps it pretty clean. Overall- (4.5/5) - I want to go back and try the other two burgers that people seem to rave about - Shrimp and Chicken burgers. It's not cheap stuff but worth the extra $2-3 imo.

    Kimchee beef burger, beet bun
    Roger H.

    We opted for the beef burger with kimchee and a side salad. I had mine in a beet bun. Burger was a generous 6oz and perfectly cooked. Moist and tender. Delicious! Nicely garnished with lettuce, tomato and cheese. The kimchee added an extra flavour and crunch to it. Everything was fresh. Overall a very tasty burger and great value for the price.

    4 STARS Got some errands done at FMP and noticed we haven't had lunch yet. mr.Tran got a shrimp burger and poutine, while I waited in line for something else. His order took 10 minutes to make since they make it fresh to order. The shrimp burger was really delicious, it came out hot, crispy and you can really see the shrimp in the burger. It tasted almost like the crab claw at Chinese wedding banquets, but in burger form. The bun was black which is different, but it was really soft almost like a brioche bun. The poutine was underwhelming and not the greatest. Fries weren't crispy and gravy was meh. The cheese was melted though. Burger is definitely worth a try, if you're ever sick of the rice box at FMP.

    Pulled Pork Poutine

    Hong Bo Burger & Poutine is a niche spot in the First Markham Place food court offering Asian-inspired burgers, fries, and poutine for a different option compared to the typical BBQ meats, fried rice/noodles, and dumplings you would typically lean towards ordering. The quality of the burgers was quite good as they have a few different options to mix and match your preference of colours and textures. Whether it's the beet or charcoal bun, you always have to go for the Shrimp Burger! The texture of the shrimp burger reminds me of the Shrimp Lobster Claw that you would enjoy at banquet menus with the right amount of seasoning in the mixture. There is the right amount of condiments which does not take away the overall flavour of the burger. I can't wait for my next visit!

    Located at the First Markham Place food court. Gotta give them props for having the cajones to open up a burger/poutine place in an Asian food court. Been to First Markham Place food court more times than I can count, always went for their great Asian food selections but noticed this kiosk in the corner and decided to YOLO it based on previous reviews. Skeptically I ordered the crispy shrimp burger combo (choice of fries or salad, drink, $1 extra for ice lemon tea). Took approx 10 mins to cook up my order. Nice husband and wife operation Choice of either their original, charcoal or beet bun. Went with their original bun which was covered in sesame seeds. Bun was fluffy and moist. As Charlie Sheen would yell "winner, winner, shrimp burger dinner". Ladies and gents, we have a hidden gem. Instead of expecting the normal minced dense rubbery shrimp patty wrapped in a thick flavorless coating when ordering a shrimp burger, you get a nice thick fluffy soft moist chopped shrimp patty in a light coating giving it a nice crunchy crust. Seriously, no other shrimp burger can be compared to this gastronomical delight. Combined with the lettuce, mayo, onions, bun a perfect flavorful alternative to the normal hamburger. The char siu and crispy roast pork will have to go to the back of the line for today Btw, their fries are hand cut and plentiful.

    It reminds me of Hong Kong. It's made to order. Their buns have three options: charcoal, beets, or spinach. Honestly, it doesn't have much flavor, and it's mainly for coloring. But it's so pretty. I love the crispy shrimp burger. It was so crispy and full of shrimp paste. Yum!

    Inside the crispy shrimp burger

    The thing that drew me to try Hong Bo was seeing the shrimp burger on the menu, as not many places offer this! This is what I ended up ordering for my first time here and I was not disappointed. The shrimp patty was so tender, you could really feel my shrimp used and this mouth-feel contrasted with how soft their buns were. Even though they only topped the burgers with lettuce, red onion, and mayo, it was very flavorful. For my second experience, I decided to try their crispy chicken burger. Unfortunately it did not compare to other places and/or how good their shrimp burger was. Even though the meat wasn't dry, it wasn't all too tender either. The batter was kept thin which was nice but could have been crispier and less greasy. The same condiments are on this burger as well, and again, it is flavorful enough. I love their bun options which include the original (sesame bun), beet, or charcoal. These are unique and so soft!

    Shrimp burger with beet buns

    Location/Service This place is right inside the food court of First Markham Place. If you know the plaza enough, there's plenty of parking and now indoor seating arrangements. Service was really nice when I went, especially it was during the peak hours with lines going all across the food choices. Orders took a little longer just cause they require time to assemble and make it on the spot. But appreciate it done on time. Food They have pretty unique menu offering of burgers. I only tried their shrimp one with beet buns. Overall the portion was a lot smaller than I thought, especially it was around $10-$12 or so, definitely felt more like a snack than a meal. The beet buns were interesting, but I didn't feel much difference compared to other (no extra charge was needed to select that one). The shrimp was really good, crispy and soft when you chew into it - and everything else inside the burger complimented well. I see how this place is a craze and IG worthy. But I wouldn't see a regular spot I would hit up. I do appreciate having more variety in the food court, and this is definitely a new fusion take.

But this place has perfected it! Who knew perfectly cooked smoked meat in between slices of untoasted rye bread and a small amount of mustard would be such a dreamy combination. Montreal smoked sandwiches can be found in our very own backyard here at Sumilicious. The poutine is everything you want it to be! Was so impressed with the place, we decided to order a whole turkey for thanksgiving..it was alright, don't think we will be doing that again though. You pay by the pound after the meat has been cooked so it shrinks in size but still ends up being quite expensive. But I will stay the staff care so much about their products. They take great pride in what they make from the smoked meat to the turkey. Upon picking up the turkey, took the time to give me specific care instructions on how to store and reheat the bird. Come check out Sumilicious.

    Amazing Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich!…read more Sumilicious is my favourite place for Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich! I highly recommend ordering their Smoked Meat Sandwich (~$17). The smoked meat tasted fresh, tender, and succulent and pairs well with mustard. I personally ask for extra mustard. If you're very hungry and can eat a lot, Small Plate of Smoked Meat (~$26) is perfect too, which includes enough smoked meat, slices of bread, and mustard packets for 1.5 sandwiches. I also love their Jar of Regular Pickles (~$7)! If you like pickles, their pickles pairs well with the Smoked Meat. Service is quick and isn't that busy during lunchtime. Good amount of seating available. Prices may be a tiny bit expensive but the quality of their Smoked Meat is great!

    Food 4/5 Service 4/5…read moreAmbiance 4/5 Food: Hubby & I both ordered the cheeseburger without cheese. LOL. I had mine as a combo with fries & tea as a drink (extra cost for tea). Hubby had his with caesar salad. My fried arrived sprinkled with some kind of flakes on it. Hubby thinks it was parsley but it kind of smelled like anise to me. I could be wrong though as my nose was stuffy at the time. I gave hubby the fries that the flakes on it. It's a good sized bowl anyway so I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it all. Hubby got his salad next. And our burgers came soon afterwards. The burgers were nicely and freshly cooked & prepared. I've always found their food tasty & good quality. I wasn't disappointed this time either. I was so full of french fries though that I couldn't manage to completely finish my burger. We didn't have dessert because we were both full. I did order takeout because I wanted to try the pulled beef sandwich at home. More on this in the service section. Service: They took their time making our orders but it didn't take that long to make. I got my fries first. As mentioned above, I had hubby order us 2 pulled beef sandwiches to go. I think perhaps the lady taking the order didn't understand us or her english may not have been that good. Because she only gave us 1 pulled beef sandwich to go. We decided to leave it at that because we didn't want to wait for another sandwich to be prepared. I had already paid the bill also. Ambiance: As far as burger places go this is a classy looking place. There are booths along the side wall. Towards the front of the restaurant there are tables for 4 and 2. The booths have a top that has sand in it with the logo of the Grill gate in the sand & a glass top. There are two single bathrooms at the back of the restaurant. One for men & one for women. The bathrooms looked clean. Hubby & I have been here several times. We always enjoy their food. This time the service wasn't on par with past experiences. But people make mistakes so I would be willing to come back again in the future.

Tbh they still serve some of the best sandwiches and burgers in town. However, the shrinkflation phenomena is a real issue with their sandwiches. The bun just keeps shrinking while the prices keep up with inflation. Luckily they still taste great but I shouldn't have to have to go for combo-ing my order just to not go home hungry. Hopefully they address this and I won't have to look for an alternative go-to spot That being said, the service has always been great and the staff are very friendly

All of the oxtail shredded meat, the cheese, the slaw, and the patty all perfectly come together into a very hearty meal. For its price, it is very filling and extremely tasty. The other thing we had was the Large Jerk Chicken meal. The Jerk Chicken was how I personally would want it. Not too hot, not too salty, not burnt, and spiced just right. The rice & beans proportion to the protein was just a little more than what I would prefer, but it is not a big issue. There was also a piece of bread that we had along with the meal which I enjoyed having. It was tasy and soft bread that perfectly acts to refresh the palate so we can go for another bite out of the Jerk Chicken or the Oxtail patty. What was a little letdown was that the place was a little small and not really primarily setup to accommodate a lot of indoor dining. There was no washroom or at least a place to wash hands. Service was also just alright. It was not bad, but just not among the best service standards that I know. You would need to come in with a lot of patience in waiting to order and waiting for the food to be ready to serve. Between taking orders, the person over the counter would also be occasionally be on the phone answering call inquiries.

We had the jerk chicken with rice and peas, snapper with brown stew veggies and rice, stuffed oxtail patty...EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT! Jerk chicken was tender, full of flavor- great spices with the perfect balance of heat that was experienced throughout the bite, not just on the skin. The Snapper was cooked to order (30 minute wait). Tender, great flavor, not too many bones. Even the fish gravy was made to order as when I asked for more they had to make it. Deliciously worth the wait. The STUFFED OXTAIL PATTY was the star of the show. When they say stuffed, they mean it! This beauty is a creative love song in your mouth that your stomach will thank you for. It's buttery, soft, flaky, flavorful, fatty in the best oxtail kinda ways, and just....YES! You didn't know you needed this in your life but your welcome. This menu item can be a meal that stands on its own as I could only get through half of it as a side. Service was good. Just one young lady at the register holding down two long lines alone. One for the order and payment, and the other for pick up. She did well navigating high demand and customer satisfaction. Tip: Get extra gravy- we got extra oxtail, jerk, and fish and used it. Ambiance is mom & pop. You can eat there, or take it to go. Most people grabbed there's to go. Had we eaten ours there we probably would've ended up doubling our order and waistline. Well... in my Arnold Terminator voice, "I'll Be Back!"
