Sides include coleslaw, brisket Mac & cheese, salad, vegetables, corn and roasted potatoes. You can go with 2 meats, 3 meats, 4 meats or even 5 meats, then you'll choose 2 sides and drinks and then, voila; you'll enjoy a great meal. The staff are very friendly, so make sure to ask for recommendations as they can help you decide.

This review is based on brunch, but there's other tons of helpful reviews in regards to the BBQ…read moredinners. We came in after a hike for some food. it was pretty late and we figured we could order lunch, but were told we cannot. We have to order from the brunch menu. No biggies! We like brunch. But this is not somewhere you want to be for that. She starts off telling us to read the brunch menu. 5-10 minutes later comes back to let us know that there's no corn ham, corn beef, and a few other items... Basically, everything we wanted to order was not available. They should have just pointed out what WAS available. We proceeded to order one big brunch special that comes as a shared platter of your choice of items. We got mac and cheese (which was not good at all. Very powdery and I really prefer a smooth cheesey type), beans, potatoes, jerk chicken, and some type of meat that looked like bbq pork. We also ordered the eggs benedicts. I would highly recommend you do not order the eggs bennies here. The eggs were hard boiled... there was not even a hint of the egg being runny. It was entirely over cooked... all of our eggs were completely hard. The corn bread plus the dry yolk made it very dry and hard to swallow. We had to order extra hot sauces and bbq sauces (which actually were quite good). The Jerk chicken was alright. Their bbq pork was great. The potatoes were so salty, none of us could eat them. We downed about 4 bottles of water. I would not return. The prices were wayy too high considering we had 4-5 options we could actually order, and we only enjoyed 1 aspect of the dishes we were served. Staff here though, are great. Really nice people! I would highly recommend that they clean up the floor. It's so slippery a lot of people were sliding around trying to get to the washroom. and then the washroom was really slippery. I'm sure dinner is popular here, but if they do want to open for brunch/breakfast, they should put some efforts into making something they're good at and incorporating that into their menus

Located at a shopping center…read more Corn tea to start. Odd there is an emergency push button in the bathroom. Tteokbokki is C$13.95, Japchae C$12.95, veggie kimbap C$12.95, Bab chicken C$15.95 (7 pieces), they charge you $2 to get the spicy sauce added to the app fried chicken. C$65.31 / $41.55. Their entree Bab Spicy sauce chicken is C$37.95 or $28, that's highway robbery for fried chicken to me. Worse if it's not out of this world good. It's rather unsettling. The banchans: cucumber, bean sprouts, fish cake and kimchi. The kimchi is crunchy and fresh. The Bab chicken with the spicy sauce is crispy and sauce is good, meat was tender too. Some fully intact tendon that looked like a worm coming out of the meat. I am done eating the chicken. The japchae comes with bulgogi beef. Potato noddles are hard to chew down. The tteokbokki is okay, rice cakes a bit too soft for me. Sauce isn't bad, has good heat to it. Comes with two dumplings. The veggie kimbap is mostly rice, quite weak for $10 for a roll. The round metal chopsticks are rather challenging. I prefer the metal flatter ones or wood. Staff are attentive. Food comes out quickly,

Probably one of the better Korean spots in Hamilton! There's always busy, we had to wait 30 minutes…read moreto be seated on a Friday night as the restaurant is quite small. We really enjoyed the food. Would definitely recommend getting the Korean fried chicken or getting one of their hotpot as their portions are huge. We also got their Tteok bokki (rice cakes), the sauce was really tasty but a lot of their rice cakes were cracked or broken. Staff was nice and food came out fairly quickly! Would definitely recommend checking them out.

So this was my first time going to a Korean BBQ…read more It was pretty good. Ox tongue was the best. At a place like this to me it's more about the experience rather than the food. To speak to the food, it was bland. Not very exciting or special. But it was fun to cook.

U Shao was a first for me, in more ways than one. It was my first time eating Korean BBQ, and it…read morewas also my first time having to cook the food myself at a restaurant. I wasn't really feeling it. I expected the food to be pretty spectacular since I had to cook it myself. It wasn't. There wasn't really very much selection either. It was either shrimp, beef, pork, or chicken. There were some veggies too, they had asparagus and onion. None of the food was that great. Now, I don't know if the food wasn't great because I didn't cook it perfectly, or it just wasn't great meat, but I could have gone somewhere else and had a better meal, for less money, and I wouldn't have had to cook it myself either. One good takeaway from my experience at U Shao was kimchi. It was my first time trying it and I liked it a lot, that was the only thing I ate very much of. I didn't have to cook it either! First and last time I will be eating at U Shao. It was an experience I guess, and there is a first time for everything, so try it out if you must, but I can't recommend it.

It should be checked after every visit for the safety of everyone. The quality of the protein was great and everything was worth what we paid for. The vibe inside was lovely and it would be perfect for a date or friend's night out. I would recommend this place, but be proactive and ask your waitress/waiter to check the gas before hand.
