We ordered the milk bread with house butter and durian butter. If you like durian, you will like the durian butter! We also got the spring rolls which were great. For mains, we got the crispy hai nam rice which is exactly what it sounds like. It's Hainanese chicken rice but with crispy chicken and it was pretty good. Chicken was a tad dry though. The pho was also good, it is very similar to Nam's pho if you have already tried their pho. Overall it was pretty solid!

The sushi and and additional dishes (tempura,tataki and cheese corn) were an added bonus to have at a Japanesebbq. There was a salad bar surprisingly had little clams and lobster bisque in addition to sauces and salads. Actually ended up prefering the cold clams to the hot ones cooked on the grill in little foil tins. The drinks (hot and cold teas) and deserts (shaved ice, mousses and creme brule) were also at the grab and go buffet and were great.

The restaurant is in the corner spot by the Chinese dim sum restaurant - not hard to miss. Inside is very modern and big. I also like that they have private rooms that's perfect for bigger celebrations, and I believe they don't cost anything extra. Staff were nice, food came pretty quickly once you placed an order. Food This is a AYCE Japanese BBQ setup. TBH, it's very similar to other competitors in terms of how things run - you have a menu of items to select, a big variety of different meats, vegetables and seafood. They also have appetizers including sushi and such as well. Quality wise, I found it decent - it's not WOW quality, but it's still pretty good. They portion it out a little bit smaller than I usually experience it elsewhere, but since it's AYCE, you can order more if you want. They also have pretty good drinks - different alcoholic and non-alcoholic as well, a little different. Overall this place is not bad, nice to have an option in this busy plaza if you want to get together, do a celebration.

We went on Monday and tried their biang biang noodles, it's a bit of wait as the server said the noodles were made to order so it's especially fresh. As usual, we savoured many other bbq dishes and overall the foods were quite salty and they all came with similar strong marinades such as cumin, chilli powder, garlic and sauce. The bingfen (ice jelly) was a bit watery and tasted so so. It's good to come as a group in order to try different bbq skewers.

The beef was very well marinated I could eat the spicy beef all day it is pretty expensive and if you come with over a certain amount of people automatically 15 percent gratuity. The crème brûlée was pretty good. The short ribs were really good as well, but still the spicy beef is to die for.

Location/Service This place is near the Yonge/Finch area (a…read morebit more south of Finch near Empress Walk). It's on the second floor of the building, so it's not hard to miss the sign and location. Parking is available around the block - just make sure you're eligible to park there to avoid any tickets. Inside is pretty big, can probably do big group sizes as well with privated areas. Staff were friendly and nice, and can speak English if you have any questions. Food They do charcoal BBQ kind of setup - so I find that a bit more flavorful compared with gas. Their meat selection is pretty premium - although not AYCE - it can fill you up pretty quickly. The meat gets cooked pretty fast too, cause it does become very hot with the charcoal - so it's better to coordinate with everyone to not overcook the food. There is an AYCE dessert bar on the side, which there's a chocolate fountain and a lot of different fruits or small snacks available, including marshmallows to finish up the meal. This place is always packed - the only thing I wish it would work better is their booking system. Even at 9pm, there were 50 tables ahead of me? That's so crazy!

I've been here a few times now, and definitely join the online waitlist before you go, especially for dinner or on weekends. It gets very busy, and since there's no time limit for tables, the wait can be quite long if you don't reserve or join the queue ahead of time. This visit was with a party of five on a weekday, and luckily we were able to book a same-day reservation. The menu has a great variety of beef, pork, seafood, and vegetables for grilling. Our favourites of the night were definitely the Lemongrass Dai Style Beef Plate and the Aromatic Wood Pepper Beef--both were well seasoned and flavourful. We were also celebrating a birthday, so we ordered their birthday meat "cake" ($36.99). It was such a creative idea! It was a layer of thinly sliced beef, with pork jowl arranged on top to look like a flower. Definitely a fun surprise for anyone celebrating. There was also a complimentary sauce bar with plenty of dipping sauces, seasonings, and garnishes. If you have a peanut allergy, though, be sure to check the labels, as some of the house seasonings contain peanuts!! They offer self serve and refillable potato chips, shrimp chips, and fresh tangerines. At the end, everyone gets a marshmallow to roast over the charcoal grill, which was such a fun touch, followed by your choice of a popsicle. You can choose from Melona, a milk ice bar, or a black sesame ice bar (black sesame was the favourite at our table!) Their drink selection is also worth checking out. They carry a lot of unique Asian beverages that you don't often see elsewhere. We tried a pear-flavoured bottled soda that was refreshing and something completely new for us (although it does have sort of a cough syrup after taste) Overall a great dining experience with endless selections!

It was my first time here and I told them what I usually like and how big/small my appetite was at the time and they recommended the Classic sandwich, which turned out to be quite good! It was moist and tender. I wasn't sure which barbecue sauce I would like and they gave me one on the side to try too on top of the one I chose. The only thing was that as a first time customer, it was a bit confusing regarding what to choose and the screen they had was difficult to see. One of the servers actually told me that they kept telling the manager or boss to change it and they offered a more eye-friendly menu for me to see at the cashier area.

There's a Dickey's Barbecue Pit that I pass by often in a plaza on the southwest corner of McCowan Road and Bur Oak Avenue. I'm often here for Shoppers Drug Mart, FreshCo, and Tastee Patties. While using my Uber Eats app last month, I was in the western part of Markham and noticed that there was a Dickey's nearby. I saw that the competition plate was discounted by 20%. I went ahead and ordered it for takeout. The competition plate consists of brisket and brisket burnt ends. I got to choose two sides. It came with a buttered roll. I got these sides: - Coleslaw - Baked beans I got my estimated time to pick my order up. I took my time getting there. Over the years, I have seen a number of businesses come and go in this plaza. Before Dickey's established its eatery on Woodbine Avenue, just north of Highway 7, it used to be Rooster's, a men's grooming store. Most businesses in this plaza are food and drink. It makes sense to me why it didn't survive. I found a parking spot fairly close to Dickey's. I backed into the spot and then walked in. I was the only customer in the eatery. A friendly man came out of the kitchen. I indicated that I had an Uber Eats order. He nodded and got my food for me. I thanked him and happily left with the goods. I drove home and ate everything for dinner. The competition plate was smaller than I had expected. Mind you, I've been spoiled having Crosstown BBQ's proteins for the last few months. The portions are generous at the latter. I realize that photos are deceiving. On Uber Eats, the brisket was sliced. My brisket looked like it was chopped up for someone who wears dentures and can't handle chewing thick slices of it. I don't know if the brisket was extremely tender that I got it in shambles. It was strange. The brisket was good. I didn't need to chew it much. It had good flavour. The brisket burnt ends were disappointing. They were definitely burnt to the point where all the moisture was missing. They were tough and not enjoyable to eat. I recommend passing on them unless you enjoy chewing on tough meat that worse than jerky and trying to hydrate it with your beverage. I liked the coleslaw. It was crunchy and mayonnaise-based. The dressing had good flavour. I got the baked beans. They were okay. They reminded me of opening a can of baked beans and seeing a small little fat cube. It didn't taste homemade. I don't mind canned baked beans, but I was expecting more ordering it from an eatery. Maybe the Dickey's sandwiches BOGO deals would be better. I should give this place another try, but I wouldn't get the competition plate again. (299)
