Yang's is my favourite place to go for skewers in the GTA. We have tried many of their stew pots and noodles as well and they all hit great. I like their spicy fish and bean sprout stew the best. Some people may find Yangs too oily, but I like my food oily sometimes. The only complaint I have about this place is that their bowl of rice is so small. They changed their silverware and cutlery to a new style. And now their bowls are so small so the bowl of rice is now half the size of how it used to be. Service has always been attentive every time we've come here and they open late to 2 AM which is great when you have late night cravings. They previously did a 10% off if you paid cash and then they changed it to 5% off. Last couple of times we went there is no longer a cash special however many the answer for whether they offer it varies from person to person haha. read more

Yang's BBQ is a great local spot in Scarborough if you are looking for a great late night bite, whether it be after a club night, fancy dinner or if you just have the late night cravings. Also, it's a great casual sit down place if you're looking to catch up with some friends and family. Yang's has a great variety of dishes to select from, but the thing they are most known for is their BBQ skewers. Think of any animal, vegetable, bread (Yes, they will grill a steamed bao), it's on the menu. Their lamb skewers (3 for $5) is the OG go-to if you're looking for the perfect bite. Grilled to a nice char, the lamb is nice and moist, but their spice blend is quite addictive and has a pleasant aromatic aroma. Surprisingly, my friend strongly suggested the enoki mushrooms which I was skeptical at first since I figured they would burn easily, but no. The mushrooms were grilled to a nice bouncy texture while serving a nice vessel for their spice blend. The service I have received was quite good. It was a Friday night and it did get quite busy at 12 am, but the service staff was attentive to all their guests. I definitely recommend Yang's for anyone looking for that perfect bite after a night out or even just as a nice compliment for bubble tea! read more

So we got a ton of variety from lamb to chicken sticks. Everything is pretty spicy, even when you don't necessarily ask for it to be. Overall, great taste! No pictures taken this time as I was starving... The Chicken heart is low key amazing, and the toasted bread... Mmmmmmmm Yum! read more

Decent quality food and pricing is very reasonable. Not the most english friendly as staff are all Mandarin speaking. Some of the party were not Chinese but we went there for authentic flavours and were happy with items and flavours. Heavy cumin on the grilled items which isnt too child friendly , again , authentic and delicious. Chicken skin skewers were unevenly cooked..so crispy side waa delicious and light and undercooked side chewy and almost not edible..tofu fish was great and kid approved. read more

I am a fan of this place but sometimes they disappointed me. I like their dumplings and it is my must order food. The dumplings were juicy with very thin skin. I used to order steam pork dumpling. The BBQ skewers were average and inconsistent food qulity. Sometime their skewers were really salty and spicy but sometime were bland. read more

Overall a 3.5, food is a solid 4 Hands down my favourite skewers/Chinese BBQ place! Everything is super flavourful and marinated well. I've been here a few times now and my go-to orders are the lamb/beef/pork/pork belly/Korean cabbage skewers, cucumber cold dish, and tomato beef stew with enoki mushrooms. I ask for mild and the heat is already kicking in! In terms of service, my rating would be a 2.5-3/5. I find that when I'm sitting outside where everyone else is, the service is better than when I'm stuck sitting in one of their rooms in the car back corner where no one ever pays attention to you. It would take forever to flag them down!!! Like the other reviewers have mentioned, if you don't know mandarin, don't come here cause everyone here speaks mando and prob one guy who speaks little english. They also give out plastic forks that are so bendy and hard to eat??? read more

If you are looking for a no frills, quick service, reasonable price chinese northern bbq place, this is the place for you. The restaurant is quite full on a Monday evening. Considering all the restaurants that popped up around finch midland area, most of the restaurants are not doing as well as before, but this place is standing strong through all the competition. All of our food came really fast. The dish that all of us enjoyed the most (even more than The lamb skewers and beef roll wrap) is bbq cabbage. As a meatatrian, this dish is better than all the other pork, poultry, lamb, beef dishes we ordered in the meal! You won't be disappointed! read more

This is my go to spot for Asian bbq skewers. I've liked must items I've ordered here. The following is my ranking of items from best to worst is: 1. Muscles 2. Lamb & Beef 4. Lamb Leg - worse than lamb because the pieces are bigger so harder to marinate etc 5. Enoki Mushrooms 6. Fried Bread 7. Korean Cabbage - serving size is large and fits one takeout container 8. Chives 9. Pork Belly - Too dry and does not pair that well with the spices 10. Pepper - I've only ordered this once and it was too spicy for me to eat 9. Chicken Wings - Too dry and not adequately seasoned Lastly, their price is reasonable too. read more

On contrary to Yelp reviews, this was one of the worst restaurants I've come across. We came here during the evening after dinner on a weekend so it was a full-house without a line up. The waitresses seemed ignored us as we waited at the door while we were waiting even after tables were cleared and people left. After waiting for 10 mins and no acknowledgement, I stopped a waitress and asked if we could get a table. She rudely told us to follow her and wait which ended up causing us to awkwardly stand in the middle of the restaurant for another 10 minutes. She finally sat us down in the corner of the restaurant which had a sticky, wet table. Of course, she didn't bother to wipe it down for us. Because we were sat down in the front corner of the restaurant, a line that formed at the entrance blocked our views from the waitresses so it was difficult to call to their attention to begin our ordering. We ordered several beef, lamb, and chicken wing skewers. Despite the many reviews here, the skewers were average in taste. One of the skewers was dropped from the plate onto our table as it was being served to us. Unsurprisingly, the waitress picked it up and tried to serve it to a different customer. Due to the unpleasant and rude service that was provided, we decided to not leave a tip. After paying for our order at the front and leaving, the waitress called us back and showed me the bill saying that they were missing a tip from us. Very shameless of her to ask for one if she acted like she didn't want a tip the entire time! read more

I would give this place a 3.5 stars. The good: This restaurant is opened late at night, until 2 am! I came here around 9:30 for a snack. The prices are pretty cheap. Most of the skewers are not per order, but come in 3s so it's great for a group. The bad: The lamb is good here, but I've tasted better elsewhere. And also, their seasoning is very spicy. I needed water and and a cold drink. This place doesn't look like the cleanest place but still passes. read more

The bbq here is really good. We tried a couple of kebabs (lamb, shrimp, sausage, gizzards), all really good. I think the price is pretty reasonable. For eg, the lamb kebabs are $4.5 for 3, and come with a fairly generous amount of meat. I'd say on average you are paying $1-2 per kebab. Also got a noodle dish which was really flavorful. The reason I'm only giving it 4 stars is that the other dishes were only ordinary. Got the "dry pot" beef... it was fine, but nothing special. It was a little expensive too, although there was a lot of meat. Also had another meat dish which was actually only okay. The "fried eggplant" dish was actually deep fried, and consisted more of batter than anything else. So I'd recommend sticking to the bbq dishes. Also there are a lot of comments about this place being packed at dinner. It was not packed at all on a weekend lunch though. Big parking lot. Accepts debit or cash read more

Tucked in the corner of the Midland-Finch plaza, this place caters to mainly Mainlanders, but the servers do speak both Cantonese and Mandarin. Noise is quite loud, especially after 10pm when all the students come in. In terms of the food though, it was generally delicious. The skewers though were a little bit on the tough side, though the amount of herbs they add is a rather nice addition. The beef on sizzling hot plate was one of the best I've had, and I generally dislike hot plates due to the fact I always seem to get it overcooked. This one was cooked perfectly, not too hard, and we managed to just finish it, so portions were excellent. Very good service as well, though you sometimes have to yell across to get their attention. read more

This restaurant has been around for a while, and it was a pretty famous place back in the day. The restaurant seem to have been sold to another owner, and gone through some renovations. It still has the same menu essentially. however its style of spice is different then before. The Food at this place is a Chinese bbq style, but it is also famous for dry pot style food, and other food. This restaurant is known for convenient opening times and generally decent food. The food is not mind blowing but has always been decent. i feel that the spices change has made it not as good as before in terms of its bbq, however the dishes are pretty much same as before. the bbq cabbage and bbq lamb are usually the best part of this restaurant and if you are to try it, than i would recommend those two. The Service at this place was always not good, but it has gotten progressively worse now since the change in renovations, and on top of it the waiters can only speak mandarin, not english not cantonese. just mandarin. So that is probably why they request customers write down their own orders. since their menu has english. This place also does not take credit, and only cash. The service and the lowering in spices is what made it lost scores. and has one of the worst services, even by chinese restaurant standards. read more

Yangs is known for going for late nights and enjoying a couple of beers since alcohol is cheap here and the skewers is a perfect pairing while drinking. Majority of the staff here only speak a bare minimal of English so I spoke mandarin to them even though I have a hard accent. The staff here were very patient and they appreciated the fact I made effort to speak in their language. It gets super busy at night so sometimes it's hard to wave anyone down to get their undivided attention. However though, once your orders put into the system food comes in within the ten minutes the orders put in! When it comes down to the food I have had better skewers elsewhere. I find that it's super salty but I will always enjoy their Korean cabbage! It's a staple everytime I step into yangs. Their noodles in soups are also amazing but the rest of the food on the menu is only decent. I come back once in awhile when I'm craving for a quick skewer/dumplings fix! They only accept cash and debit, keep that in mind ! read more

Let me preface by saying this: the food here is decent. It's not terrible. However, the service is terrible. My mom and I walked in and the hostess couldn't speak loud enough to say where to sit. Instead, she just gestured into the air and I had to walk up to her for her to say we could sit anywhere. She didn't even notice us for a good 5 mins while we had our hand raised ready for her to take our order. I had to physically ask her to bring our tea to us and she served us our food silently and literally looking like she hated her life. I totally understand if English is a second language as we were in a Chinese restaurant but please, at least try to not look like you'd rather be anywhere else. Customer service is so important in this industry and the service here ruined our experience. As I said above, food's decent. Big portions and lots of noodles but not a lot of meat. read more

My bf and I were craving Chinese BBQ and didn't feel like going to our usual BBQ joint so we decided to try this place out. We were here at 9pm and it was busy but turnover is pretty quick. We ordered a couple dishes to share: lamb skewers, chicken skewer, Taiwan sausage skewer, eggplant, and shredded potato. The food was good and everything was nicely seasoned, not too salty but it was really spicy for me. My bf has a higher tolerance than me but he found the lamb to be spicy. While the food was pretty good, this place is literally a hole in the wall. The floor had random wet spots here and there, and wasn't clean looking. The plates and utensils felt greasy but I guess that's pretty standard with a lot of Asian restaurants. I probably will come back once I build a better tolerance for spice because the food was pretty good. read more

I've heard raving reviews from friends about Yang's and I was so excited to see for myself if it was all true. Turns out, they weren't lying!! Lamb skewers: I am incredibly bias because I ADOREEEEE lamb skewers and these were perfectly cooked, super tender, with just that right amount of spice to give it a kick without overpowering the meat's flavour. We loved it so much we got a second order. Octopus tentacles skewers: If you like the tentacles sold at street/night markets like Taste of Asia then you'll definitely like these! They aren't spicy at all so they're great for those who can't handle spice very well. Eggplant and potato dish: This was a nice filler dish to have, I especially loved the potatoes. I believe the eggplants are breaded in something and fried, so make sure to gobble those up fast because they tend to get soggy and less delicious as time passes which is unfortunate. Cabbage and seaweed cold dish: This is a fantastic palate cleanser amidst all the strong flavours of Yang's dishes. It's got a mild pickled/vinegar flavour which I found super refreshing. Sadly, I found a fish scale in the dish but it was still very enjoyable!! Braised beef noodle: What I liked about this was that the soup base wasn't too oily, which is an issue I find with other restaurants. It didn't stand out much to me but that's because I was head over heels for the other noodle bowl we got. T17: Honestly I don't remember what this was called, but I vaguely remember its menu number so hopefully it's somewhat right! It's a cold sweet and sour soup base with super chewy noodles and it was my second favourite dish after the lamb skewers. I usually don't drink the soup of any noodle bowl, but I drank this up (and then went back for seconds... and thirds). Beef pancake: Classic beef pancake roll. Beef wasn't too dry and the pancake was still crunchy after sitting on the plate for awhile. Pretty sure this is about as good as it gets! Overall, the service was pretty disappointing and our dinnerware was questionably clean, but the food was so superb I still had to give this experience a full five stars!! No doubt that I'll be returning again and again to Yang's! read more

Had a good dinner at this restaurant. We ordered four items: crab, Bbq skewer lamb, bbq skewer beef and a vegetable dish. The three meat items were great, while the vegetable item is average. It seems like a popular restaurant with customers going in and out. Overall, good food and good experience. read more

Yang's is one of my favourite restaurants for late night eats. They have an extensive skewered foods menu along with traditional Chinese dishes so the variety of food they offer is great. Their lamb skewers are one of the best ones I've had in Toronto and is super flavourful and juicy. The standard seasoning has quite a bit of a kick but I recommend getting them with extra spice if you want to kick it up a notch. Other menu items that I love are their BBQ sausage, beef roll, and grilled cabbage. read more

Legit recommend this place! Came here for a late night Chinese Style BBQ after drinks. Price is good and food is good! Small draft pitchers are $5.99 Lamb Skewers - 3.5 stars! Could have cooked on the BBQ for a minute more and it the lamb had a bit more fat then it would be 4.5 stars ($3.99 for 3 Skewers). Soft bone chicken was 4 stars, I miss these extra large size soft bones.. hard to find this size at most other Chinese BBQ restaurants. The "Water Cook Fish" for $10.99 (small size) was legit and authentic - 4.5 stars. read more

TL;DR: Great choice for late night snacks. It's a bit on the expensive side but the food is really good. I especially like the lamb skewers. If you can't handle spicy, be warned. The food here is generally spicy and caters to those with that tongue. Food (4/5): The food is great. I really like spicy foods, and this place caters to just that. I personally recommend the lamb skewers, as well as the chicken skewers. I believe the skewers come in 3s and you'll be looking at spending around $3.99 - $4.99 per set. Again, it's a bit expensive but I think it's pretty worth, especially if you're going out late night and your choices are limited. It might also be smart to cool off the heat with a nice cold Arizona, but you'll be set back another $1.99 or so. Hours (4.5/5): This place is amazing if you're hungry at night and got a few friends to chill with. It's not really packed when you go after 11pm, and there will always be seats. The service isn't the best, but you can't expect much when the people here work for such long hours. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for some small snacks past midnight and if you're around the area! ------- Overall (4/5) read more

Easily one of the best, if not the best place for Chinese lamb skewers in Toronto. The numbing spice mingled with the aroma of cumin cuts into the juicy, fatty lamb meat for an explosion of flavours in your mouth. You can't go wrong with their fried buns & condensed milk, pork belly skewers, or chicken hearts either. Their beef roll wrap has an extra flaky and crispy feel to it compared to the regular wrapping; a must try! Dumplings are quite good too, once again recommend the lamb. Don't forget to order a couple pitchers of their light and dark beers to combat the spiciness and to maximize the good times. read more

The food is sooooooo good. If you're craving for bbq food this place is must try for you. The 高麗菜 is the best. The corn is the nuomi style corn which is harder than regular ones. You can tell the level of spiciness you want. Beware of the green pepper/ green chilli (the big long one), suicidal hot! I order corn bread because I saw many people order- very good!!!! Overall this place is super delicious! I'm used to high quality meat so the lamb is not what I'm looking for. However chicken soft bone and other orders are all 5/5! Better come in earlier, you still need to wait after 8pm, very busy place read more

Came here with my two friends to catch up so we wanted a casual place that we could talk amongst ourselves and eat good food, and this was definitely the place! Walking in it was pretty packed with most tables filled with people with their food already on their tables and chatting away and eating. I noticed most individuals had ordered skewers and there was also a tin can on each table for people to put their finished skewers in, our table didn't but after explaining what we ordered it wouldn't have mattered what we ordered. My friend who has been here often suggested getting the cabbage skewers, and I was skeptical at first as cabbage skewers did not sound filling or something I would try at a bbq skewers place. But boy was I wrong, the cabbage skewers provided was hefty and large, it was also super well seasoned ( a bit spicy but I'm a total wimp with spicy) but the flavouring was very good. Next we ordered potato skin skewers which was alright, nothing special tasted like a more season version of fries. However, we saw lots of people ordering a large bowl of we weren't sure of (Xinjiang Chicken on Big plate w/ Noodles) but it looked super filling for the three of us so upon asking a server who quickly and efficiently showed us which one it is on the menu we ordered it despite the 2 pepper sign beside it. When it arrived I quickly took a picture with it as it looked super impressive and we dug right in. It wasn't too spicy as I avoided the big red chilli peppers that were in it but eventually throughout the dinner I did feel hot and my lips were a little burning. However the servers were always quick to refill the water cannister that was on our tables. Overall it is a very casual affordable place to eat and hang out read more

My favourite spot for late night bbq satisfaction, fair on prices as well. Definitely known for the lamb skewers and wide selections of items read more

After reading the reviews, they scored all over the map and I apparently got the short end of the stick. When I first arrived, the wait staff just ignored me... I was standing there for a good 10 minutes before being acknowledged... then another 10 minutes pass and had to request for a menu... I can guess quite well but not when ordering food off a phantom menu. I was finally able to flag down a waitress to give my order to, collected the menus and thought the appetizers would come out lickety split.... half hour later (getting close to the 1 hour mark now after sitting), and still no food. Ask the servers about the order and when they return, informed they never received an order form... WTF??? They just gave us menus again and said order again... seriously should have just left. Put in the order... 15 mins pass and first item comes out and every 5 mins another dish arrives... kitchen manager/ expediter truly sucks at their job. The foods were temperature I give them that but all dishes were over salted... maybe to boost their beer sales. All in all a very meh experience and not a big fan of "cash only" for meals that easily top $50+ for a 2 too. read more

If you're up for a spice challenge, then say no more, fam. This place'll have you downing more milk than a malnourished child steady on infamiLL. I sometimes underestimate how spicy Asians can take their food, and today was no play. My mouth was interrupted, trying to gasp IN air! The more you exhale, it was like a torture chamber; forget about closing yo mouf, foo! Any sip of water or iced tea would only temporarily numb the tingliness; at which point you're actually hoping a negative 12 degree draft comes through that front door to escort the spice out back to Hell. ...On a calmer note, the service was okay other than being ignored half the time - at least they helped us with our dead grill that malfunctioned 3 times. I keeps count. Food-wise, the lamb skewers to me were the best. I love how spiced they are but they are TOO lit for me. The meat, lettuce, and veggies were a good amount for my guest and I, and #M7 on the menu was sauce. Btw, I'm still pissed at my friend for dropping one of the skewers. That poor floor probably corroded by now.. My only concern was the closeness of the table if you're using the portable grill bc that shit will melt your eyebrows off and potentially burn you if your items are oily. I assume they use a lower heat to help with this, but even your ex believes there should be a healthy distance. read more

Yang's BBQ is one of my go to spots for Chinese BBQ! It is a plus that they open late. This restaurant is popular for Chinese BBQ and there may be a 30-45mins wait during peak dinner time. The atmosphere of this restaurant is casual. It is a great place for cheap food and drinks. Service is minimal. It is your typical no frills Chinese restaurant for quick food. Service: The service is minimal here. Don't expect servers to check up on you because they will not. Every table is given utensils and a pot of tea so everything is pretty much self-serve. If you do need a waiter, you will need to put the extra effort to get their attention. Food: I generally come for the BBQ items and I love the seasoning. Most items are quite spicy. It is a great BBQ spot if you like eating spicy. The skewers goes well with beer and most people would order beer with the food. There is a wide selection of skewers so I try to order different items every time I am here. But there are a few items that I must get every time including the lamb, beef, gizzard, and cabbage. I also really like to order some cold appetizer dishes because it is nice to have something refreshing when you are eating a lot of hot spicy skewers. Yang's BBQ remains my go to spot for Chinese BBQ. I do think they can improve on the customer service though. read more

Ordered the skewers and dumplings here and they were delicious! Highly recommend the beef, chicken and lamb skewers. Some of the beef skewers were a little raw but the lamb skewers were quite fatty which made them very tasty. They all had a spicy kick to them too! You can't go wrong with any of the dumplings either. The portions here are big for the cheap price. Came here with a group of 8 people and we paid about $15 each but we were stuffed by the end. Would come again! read more

Yang's BBQ Restaurant - Beef and chicken skewers - Barbeque Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Late night Northern Chinese BBQ restaurant in Scarborough. The BBQ skewers are excellent. Whole shrimp, beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, etc.. are all cooked nicely and spiced with a Northern Chinese spice mix. Very good value from about $4-$6 on most items. Some of the other dishes however were lacking and disappointing such as the beef roll wraps and dumplings. Service was quick. A pitcher of draft beer is really cheap at $7 for any drinkers out there, but this leads to a rowdy drunk and loud late night crowd which diminishes the restaurant experience. Most likely different from a day crowd but we came late around midnight and restaurant closes at 2 am so had this experience. The other negative is that he place is not the cleanness around as lots of bamboo skewers and napkins and stuff on the floor. read more

First off 6$ pitches FYI There are many spicy/lamb kabob spots in Toronto, this is by far my favourite. I find they don't use (as much) MSG as other ones, and they have really good dishes, not just cheap lamb kabobs. It can get to be a little spicy but its just south watering delicious! Must try is the lamb of course, the shrimp is also a must try and at 5$ for 6 u can't go wrong, if u really like it spicy try the BBQ chilli peppers 3$ for 3. One of my most favourite dishes is the lamb with noodle, it's under the "M" section. Does get busy and packed up, so be ready to wait if its around dinner time. Can't complain about the service,all the staff are friendly. read more

The food is good but the customer service is worse than the sanitation of the washrooms. If you are not Chinese then don't expect and customer service or attention. They won't bother coming to you even if your hand is up unless you call them. I had a terrible experience today when I went. We ordered by writing the numbers of the menu items we'd like on the paper they gave us. And then when we got the paper back they had changed one of our order numbers from a 14 to an 18 which was clearly visibly changed by somebody as the 8 was poorly changed. I would assume it's because they made the wrong thing and couldn't do anything about it so they decided to finess us since we're a bunch of teenagers. When we kindly told them the situation, the lady started yelling at us in mandarin in an aggressive tone so we decided to just eat the pork feet they accidentally made for us. That's not end of it though, when we finally asked for the bill separately, they gave us the bill as one instead of the 7-way split that we asked for and refused to split it for us. And as if that wasn't enough, when we went to pay they refused to even COUNT the money that we put on the tray because it was apparently too much (two $20, a $10, two toonies, and a few quarters) . At this point, we were just confused at the fact that they wouldn't even count the money on the tray, they forced us to tell them the exact amount of money, and then verified it. The funny part is, when we told them exactly how much there was, the lady started COUNTING the MONEY really quickly and finished in like 5 seconds???????!!!!! And then for whatever reason, while we were walking out they started yelling at us DEMANDING FOR EXTRA TIP or they would call the police???? First of all, we are already mad about your customer service and stil tipped you yet you have the audacity to demand extra tip from us and refused to let us leave, probably cause we were teenagers. Fucking ridiculous. I had a terrible experience here with my friends and I won't be coming here again. The food is not bad though if you don't mind the shitiest customer service in the country. I don't blame all the employees there though and I understand how a restaurant works but the lady and cashier were being very vulgar with us. read more

We keep coming back to this place for bbq skewers even there are other similar bbq restaurants closer to home. Tasty flavor and reasonable prices. Lamb skewers are my all time favorite and my son loves the sausages (cuz it's on the sweet side). I also recommend the shrimp skewers. Stir fried noodles are on the oily side. But you can ask them to less oil and it'll be perfect. read more

This place left a bad taste in my mouth, figuratively and literally. The food is mediocre at best and nothing you won't find else where. I understand that English may have been a language barrier but their demeanors and, frankly, sketchy practices very much justify my 1-star rating. Starting off with the good stuff to calm my late-night rant. The food was mediocre; however, some items were quite good. The Fried rice with gravy and egg was in the ball park of delicious. As misleading as the name of the item was (there was no gravy), the fried rice was mixed egg and preserved pork belly in a dark soy sauce type sauce - savoury and full of umami flavour, it's guaranteed to satisfy your hunger. Next, the fried tofu in home sauce, the sauce was a gravy accented with the sweetness of onion slices, heat from fresh and dried peppers, and a slight numbing sensation of the Szechwan peppercorn, nothing too unique nor exciting. Further down the list to my liking is the lamb skewers. I've heard many great things about their skewers, however, I could in good faith say I agree. The 3 skewers I received was vast inconsistent in terms of texture. The flavours were quite good but vastly overshadowed by the terrible texture of the lamb. Not only were many of the skewers, overly chewy, it was riddled with tough connective tissues. Worst was the spicy fried lamb with cumin, in a dish that I could only describe as scraps. The "meat" pieces were cut so small that I could not comfortably use the word "slices" to describe the cut. Being cut that tiny, one would expect that the meat would be tender, but one would be wrong. The meat was once again a messy mix of tender pieces riddled with solid fat and chewy connective tissue. I could only conclude that this are the pieces that did not make the cut to be included in the skewers. Once again the flavor was good, the toasted cumin, flash cooked onions, and mix of fresh and dried chilli lent a big improvement to the dish. Unfortunately, I refuse to pay $11.99 for onion, chilli, cumin, with a sprinkling of lamb scraps ever again. I was quite underwhelmed and overly disappointed. Now to the part why we would never consider coming back and what I mean by "questionable" practices. Once again, language has nothing to do with the problem. At first entrance, we told them that we are a table of two. The waitress/hostess waved her arm in a multitude of directions without really any acknowledgement of what we said. We followed her general direction only to have to shuffle backward (because there were no table for 2-4 on that side of the restaurant). We barely received service, took awhile to track someone down for the boxes and the bill. Upon paying for the bill at the debit machine, the waitress and waiter took it upon themselves to select the tip type for you. Meaning, instead of letting the customers choose to tip with dollar amount, they preemptively select the % amount. Then the questionable part, lowest being 12%...listed in the order of 15% then 12% then 20%, which makes no logical sense. What pissed me off is not the amount being tipped, because the amount is negligible between 1-5%, however, it is the principal of the matter. Resorting to such sneaky and underhanded tactics does not make me a happy customer. Overall, food is barely passable. We will not return for the reasons listed above. It is worth noting that it is ones of the places that is opened relatively late on a weekday, in the area. Next time, I'd rather skip supper than return, or travel a little further for food. Not worth the headaches or frustration returning here. read more

Great food and busy atmosphere for drinks and bbq with friends. We ordered a bit of everything: cumin lamb stir fry dish, pork belly hot plate, lamb and quail skewers, a vegetable dish, shredded cold potato, and the caramelized sweet potato dish for dessert. Hands down, the skewers and hot plate were the most memorable. Things are spicy, but not more spicy than say a Korean or Indian or Szechuan place. I have to say, the non-bbq items really help to round out the meal so don't skimp on the shredded potato or beer! The caramelized sweet potato desert is a must-try, too! Only real complaint is that the service was mediocre - but what do you expect at a Chinese joint? read more

Tried this place last night around 9pm and it was packed. Actually really great food though (my stomach is making noises now) and decent service for a Chinese restaurant. Me and my party of 4 mainly ordered from the skewers/BBQ part, which was THE BOMB and definitely would recommend if you're coming here. Favourite: - Beef: good meaty pieces with only a bit of fat. - Sausage: sweet and savoury mmmm - Korean Cabbage: and not it's not Kim Chi. They drench the cabbage in the spices so what seems like is healthy is so not which is perfect. Those were my favourite three, but honestly everything else was amazing. The only thing I would stray away from are 1. Oysters and 2. Eggplant. You can taste the frozen in the oyster. Oh and warning, I LOVE spicy. So this was the perfect amount for me and I would definitely come here again! read more
