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!

The…read moreservice is not the greatest, and it takes quite a while for your order to be put there and for your food to come out. The food is mid at best, I wouldn't say there's anything that I would come back for. I have previously ordered the French Onion Soup and the Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl. Not the greatest in terms of flavour or plating. 4/10 recommend!

We both ordered omelettes; I chose their Spinach Feta omelette and Mom chose their Western. Mine also had feta cheese; both were 3 egg omelettes and came with breakfast potatoes and whole wheat toast. I've started a comparison between spinach omelettes at different restaurants; each one has been better than the previous one and this was no exception - the feta cheese is definitely what brought this one over the top in quality for me. The potatoes and toast were very good and Mom quite enjoyed her meal too. Again I consider my meal a pretty good value considering both the quantity and quality of the food. We had prompt service as well and overall my 2nd visit to this restaurant was quite enjoyable.

But I finally was able to get back and this time I brought my wife and my brother and his wife with me. The best part of the whole thing was getting reacquainted with my old friend Hank again. He's one of the nicest human beings you could ever hope to meet. The food........ Oh my God the food. We were stuffed. It is the best food anywhere . Nothing comes close to this. I have eaten barbecue all over North America. One of the advantages of being a trucker. And this is the best barbecue I have ever had anywhere. The prices are more than reasonable. The amount of food you get will leave you absolutely stuffed. And the staff is unbelievably nice and kind and gentle... The loveliest ladies you could ever hope to have to deal with. God bless you Hank. I will see you again 1 day my friend. Graham.

Environment -Atmosphere was very nice, the interior had cherry blossoms around and lifted the vibe in the place -Very clean dining space, felt very comfortable in the restaurant from the second we sat down. Everything was close to a 4.5 honestly, each dish had something that made it memorable. Portions were solid too. Really recommend this place if you're looking for a good brunch spot in the city. Looking forward to coming back.

My friend said the Hainanese chicken rice may be the best one he has ever had in GTA. I ordered a Malaysian chicken curry, pork chop pasta soup and French fries for my son. All of them were tasty. The amount of ingredients also made me feel my money was worth it, even though their prices are a bit higher than those of the restaurants of the same type. Their service was probably the best. Because the space of the restaurant is pretty small, there is only one server, and she was very friendly and showed her hospitality. I enjoyed this restaurant very much.

I have been a customer of this Hanyang Jokbal location ever since they opened. They have been…read morethoroughly consistent, whether it be dine-in or takeout. Their jokbal comes with a variety of side dishes like bean sprout soup, lettuce, kimchi, spring onion, etc. My fav is their BBQ jokbal. Nice smokey aroma, added bounce to the skin. Regular jokbal can feel a bit greasy after a bit and you get palate fatigue, but not with this one! And I also like to add spicy sauce to any order. Though a whole order of spicy jokbal is too much for me, using the spicy sauce as a dip from time to time really helps mix the flavours up. I would say they are on the pricey side, when you know how much pork hock, the cut itself is. But still, it's bothersome to make, and as a treat once in a while, totally worth it.

It was shared by two people and felt like it could feed three persons easily. Also ordere pork broth with sliced pork & wild sesame ($19) which was really good as well. Broth was very rich & flavourful. It came with spicy sauce to be added but did not really need. It was Tuesday evening and around 6pm all the tables were already full. Age group was like from yonge to old. Seems like this type of food can be enjoyed by all different age group. Definately return for more Jokbal!
