“Went in for the milk fish but it was not available until later that day, yet there was no disappointment. We ordered some cold beers on tap that were delicious and on sale. Then we decided on the pork nachos and a skewer plate. Holly smokes the food was outstanding! I have never tasted a giant pile of awesome nachos prepared that way before. Wow, you got to check it out. The skewers were amazing and that unique Filipino love sauce was all there. We were treated like kings while we ate and drank our faces off. I am so glad we dropped by early in the day, by night there must be a line up to get in there. Yes, it is that good. I can't wait to get back and hit the rest of the menu and damn certain to get my share of the milk fish. This place is a GEM. Limited in space, so choose your time wisely.“
“I know a couple places in Toronto dt that sell smoke bbq but we all knw the commute, so decided to give this place a try, Ordered the brisket + ribs combo with potato salad and slaw as sides. Loved it :D the place is clean and spacious too.“
“Sariwon is a gem for authentic Korean BBQ! From the mouthwatering dishes crafted with fresh ingredients to the warm and friendly service, every visit is a delight. It's a place that never fails to impress. Highly recommend for anyone craving an unforgettable dining experience!“
“This kbbq place has the best cuts of meat for a really good price!Everything is ordered on a tablet which made service quick and efficient but regardless the staff was really attentive and made sure we always had our sides refilled.We really enjoyed the beef, honeycomb porkbelly and cold noodles.“
“This is our second visit to the restaurant, and similar to last time, the staffs are very pleasant and friendly. The food taste amazing and the restaurant is cozy and clean. We had the eggplant appetizer and the koobideh and chicken leg kebab. The meat was super juicy and the flavor was spot on! Our toddler who doesn't eat veg normally, loves their barley (carrot) soup and finished the whole bowl by himself! We will definitely come back again!“
“Great Korean BBQ place. The meat is amazing. I would recommend the marinated beef ribs. Their home made kimchi is great. The spicy seafood tofu soup is good but not much seafood. Service is also very good. They even help you BBQ sometimes.“
“I recently came in for a weekday lunch with a friend and tried their set lunch for 2 (ssam-bap jungsik). The servers were very friendly and helpful with ordering and they made sure that banchan refill (limited to 2 times) was done promptly. The banchans were all were prepared; my friend who tried Korean food for the first time loved the eggplant side dish. I loved that they offered the soybean stews in individual earthen bowls. Their spicy and non-spicy pork bulgogi were also very well done with just the perfect amount of marinade. Accompanying veggies for wraps were also plentiful so we didn't have to ask for a refill. We also ordered steamed Korean dumplings which were packed with meat, tofu and veggies. This was so delicious! I don't normally order dumplings when I go out because it's usually the store bought ones that are steamed or friend but here, it was made in house and the quality was definitely there. I am looking forward to returning to try out more of their new menu items soon.“
“Karahi Boys is the place to go if you’re looking for proper PAKISTANI FOOD ? KARAHI BBQ AND LIME MOJITOS WERE PERFECT! Manan served us and the naaan is so delicious with charsi karahi ? perfect place for families to meet up ♥️Parking: Plenty of parking everywhere Alhumdulilah“
“Amazing! Meat Lovers rejoice! The layout is spacious and with tons of seatings! Service is friendly, efficient and prompt. Our server checked on us frequently and offered us refill for side dishes. Love the lunch special. We opted for Spicy Pork and Squid. Definitely will be back for more!“
“Came here for dinner for 6 people. Although the tables are a little small and services are lacking, the food is truly amazing! I'll list the food with ranking from best to good.Spicy stir fried gold coin egg with perilla has a thick and savoury sauce. Hardboiled eggs are cut into coins and deep fried, then tossed in a mince pork, black bean paste and chilli sauce. Perilla and carrots added the sweetness that brings the whole dish together. This is an unbelievable way to eat eggs. Must try!Stir fried pork slices with green pepper is a classic chinese dish that has many variations. I can't comment on the authenticity, but I certainly found it incredibly well made. The pork slices are cooked to the right texture and green chillies are fresh. The sauce collected the smoky flavour from the hot wok as it was fried. Incredible dish to eat with rice.Hunan boiled fish fillet in hot chilli oil used freshly sliced black fish instead of frozen basa as seen in most restaurants. This makes the fish neither flakey nor watery, but tender and oozing with flavour instead. The chilli oil fully bloomed the numbing peppercorn and dried red chillies that excites your pallette as the fish lands on your tongue. Konjak jelly noodles and cucumbers are great choices to add to the dish, providing differences in texture.There are spicy chicken offal dishes and skewers that I really wanted to try next. When I'm in the area again, I'll come back for more.“
“What an incredible place. If you've been to Unionville, you'll know that the area has many cute and aesthetic restaurants/cafe's but this one is truly a gem. The restaurant has a very cozy but fancy vibe, dimly lit but there's still enough light to see all of the amazing food served here. The staff were super friendly, greeting every customer, both coming in and leaving. The food was definitely super good and worth the price (which, on that note, wasn't too expensive). We ordered skewers, scallops and a beef noodle soup. The skewers were kind of dry on their own, a dipping sauce definitely would have improved them a lot, and the scallops were very fresh, but I'm not a huge scallop fan so I didn't get to enjoy it fully (but my boyfriend said the texture was really good and chewy, and the seasoning really enhanced the flavour). The beef noodle soup was really flavourful and the beef itself wasn't too tough to chew. Honestly I will be going back soon, there are still so many things I want to try and I truly enjoyed the ambience.“
“This restaurant is incredible. What a lovely family owned business. The owners are so generous and so kind. The chicken is also so fresh & delicious. You get so much food for the money, you will not regret it. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. If you’re in the area, you definitely need to try it!!“
“Located inside Empress Walk on the second floor, always wanted to see how it stacked up to Gyubee. We were charged holiday price for Easter Monday lunch, which came out to about $40 each after tax and tip.Food was pretty good overall. Our group really enjoyed the miso marinated kalbi short rib and ordered a lot of it. The kimchi here is pretty good, but the bibimbap isn't as good. Also don't love that you have to pick between soft serve or melona for dessert. Service was decent, the staff were pretty attentive about grill changes but not so much about removing empty dishes from our table.One thing we didn't love was we ordered chicken thighs and when it came, it was mixed in the same plate with other meats like beef and sausage. Just better in my opinion to separate them to reduce the risk of getting sick.“
“A wonderland of flavours. Be prepared to be surprised and then some. It gives a chance to show off your BBQ skills. The potion sizes are perfect and sides are bountiful. Can’t praise the staff enough. Kind, welcoming and joyful place to spend your time. Thank you so much folks!Vegetarian options: Have good vegan options“
“The food is really good. The service is nice but there is one waitress that is not professional at all, she did not “allow” us to buy (pay extra) and take out our own leftovers and proceeded to tell us order less next time, and constantly telling us to hurry up even though it wasn’t even close to closing time. I would go back again for the great food but this lady makes the experience much less enjoyable.“
“Excellent food! I've had the beef burgers, chicken burgers, and spicy beef burger - all great! Spicy beef burgers are a personal fav. Entire menu is halal which is great. The staff are super friendly and it's a definite go-to spot!“
“the only place in Toronto with the best food. our children from as far as Stouffville and Oshawa always get us to pick up St. Matthews. we have had them cater a wedding showers get togethers. my only preferred take out Every Saturday we get their food for our dinner. the best food in all of Toronto“
“Very good and quality food. The beef brisket tasted really good and the smoked chicken wings were the best chicken wings I’ve ever had so far. Fries could have been better. Overall the experience was really great. Would recommend the smokehouse to everyone.“

“Came here with my wife and three kids and everything was fresh. They had cuts of meat that each of my kids enjoyed which was rare. Side dishes like bibimpap was awesome! Our server was quiet but very polite. Place wasn't blasting loud music; which sometimes makes it hard to communicate. Will definitely come back again.“
“The italian sausage was great, lots of flavour especially the fennel.Mac n cheese was good but the cheese sauce is a bit on the gritty side, not creamy.Pulled pork was very good and juicy but lacking depth of smoke flavour.Brisket was quite salty and not very tender, but it could have been because I was given a cut from the flat and not the point. Smokiness was there.Bbq sauce is heavy on the tomato/ketchup side, could be more balanced.Overall a decent bbq place.“
“**updated March 2024**After a shift in approach, this restaurant has landed on a winning combination - great Chinese BBQ (*love* the lamb skewers) as well as more traditional Szechuan food in a lively but still meal-appropriate atmosphere.Very friendly service, quite busy, they draw a regular crowd and for good reason! So give them a try!--Used to be amazing, authentic Szechuan food in a casual and friendly environment. However, in the last year, the owner has changed the atmosphere so that its more like a dive bar (dim, loud music (usually either country or rap that doesn't lend itself to conversation) so its not a nice place to go if you want to have a nice date. While the BBQ is still excellent, the other dishes have gone downhill flavour wise (blander than they used to be) which has been a huge disappointment as this used to be a favorite local place of mine.“
“Just picked up the Texas Smoked Beef Brisket Sandwich…it did not disappoint!The in house baked fresh bun tasted great and the brisket was delicious! The fries were great with the BBQ sauce (sauce made in house!).I met the owner, Sean, who was a very welcoming guy. You can tell he loves what he does.My next meal will be a sit down in the restaurant for the Grill Smoked Plate!Highly recommend this gem!“
“Had an amazing beef brisket sandwich at this BBQ restaurant! The meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service was great, and the restaurant's design added to the overall enjoyable experience. Highly recommend for a satisfying BBQ meal!“
“My company ordered from this wonderful restaurant for our staff event, it was not only great food, but the customer service is exceptional to say the least. We were so pleased with the service which starts from the moment Raj picked up the phone to take the order. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who know what great food should taste like. The vegetarian options were great, the chicken was great, and we decided to order by popular demand for a second time..Thanks to the staff and Raj for delivering exceptional service and quality food...“
“Liked this place for their flavour full bbq food. But they only take debit or cash. We went in groups of 4 and we asked for two bills he said no one bill and one person pay and then the other e-transfer the half. It was weird because our waiter is telling us what to do. They should be able to split the bill and charge us. Cause what happens when you come with a bunch of people it makes it inconvenient for one person cause he or she would have to have the funds to cover the entire amount in cash or debit.“
“I'm so happy to have a BBQ near my house.Eglincheon branch is so crispy and delicious!!!You must eat Korean chicken here!!They even confirmed that the beer was low in carbonation and prepared a new one for me. They were so kind.You can get Korea fried chicken No.1 here!!!!❤️?“
“We have nothing but good experience here. Food was amazing, ambiance feels authentic, place was clean, service was great.. there’s even an exhaust each table. We’ll definitely come back or try their different locations and order different ones on the menu. Worth recommending!Vegetarian options: They have vegetable set, and king oyster mushroom was delicious.. all on the set were freshParking: Worth your mention: parking’s at the back, don’t use the space -left next to it, it’s not theirsWheelchair accessibility: I don’t think it’s wheelchair accessible“
“Very cool spot for some Korean BBQ.It was my first time doing Korean BBQ and Daldongnae did not disappoint. My partner and I had heard of this place from many articles that had been praising the service and food. The atmosphere feels like you’re stepping into a spot that resembles many small restaurants that I’ve visited in Asia.Staff was quick, attentive, and helpful. The food was great and not overly expensive. It was a great dining experience to add into the mix of our regular spots.The staff gave us a great glass noddle dish to try as they were testing it out, we absolutely loved it and hope that they add it to their menu.Parking: There is a small parking lot around the back of the building. We didn’t have trouble getting a spot there, but there are limited spaces available.“
“Ordered the platter for two. Have to say I'm not sure the value for money is completely there as with tax and tip it came out to $100, but BBQ food tends to be a bit more on the expensive side and it's a nice treat! The BBQ sauces were very nice. The meat was decently cooked, but the corn bread and fries were great.Great atmosphere though for watching sports. Was happy to catch some of the Jays' opener today!“
“food is delicious. we ordered the boneless short ribs which were so incredibly tender. so many side dishes are brought complimentary and pair really nicely with the meal. service is ridiculously fast and the workers are all very kind and knowledgeable. :)“
“We stopped here for a warm meal after a day of skiing because it was the only thing we could find on Google that was open late enough and wow - what a pleasant surprise. We had the classic beef with thin round noodle and the Dan Dan with flat wide noodles. Both were absolutely delicious but the flat wide noodles were especially good - we didn’t realize when ordering that they were hand pulled. The bill came to around $30 for two of us with very generous portions. Also, we sat at a table near the boss who greeted us very warmly and told us all about what the restaurant is best known for. We don’t live in the area unfortunately but this would be worth a drive. Thank you for a lovely and cozy meal“
“Ivan, nothing short of spectacular! Takes care of us each time and goes above and beyond. Please let me know if I can give a him a reference for any job in the future. Please also let me know if he’s looking into new jobs, so I can hire him at my business.“
“Came here with a couple of friends to catch up on life back in January.Food was really good, the skewers were absolutely amazing. I usually frequent Chat Bar for skewers but i think Ten Miles has overtaken them by “ten miles” (get it)Service is really good here. They also have daily specials going on. So be on the look out for those.“
“First time here and absolutely blown away! Tried their 生煎包, 夫妻肺片, and 牛尾拉麵 – all incredibly delicious. You can set your highest expectations, and they will not disappoint. Thanks to Wendy and Cita for the recommendation!“

“it was my first time coming to Gyu Hito, but I’m accustomed to eating at Japanese/Korean grills. The atmosphere is nice, but where we were sat was underwhelming since they seem to have beautiful decor, but literally just in front of the entrance and felt the cold air.Service also was unsatisfactory for some of their staff. Only one was very accommodating and kind. However, other waiters/waitresses were hard to come by despite us sat near the entrance of the restaurant. I even witnessed my boyfriend waving in front of the waiters only for them to wave back, but not accommodate us. We waited quite a while for our second to last and last order. We placed our order and 10 minutes later there was no food. The one waiter I called wasn’t helpful and said he’ll get our original waitress. Another 10 minutes came around no food and no waitress. So when she did come around and I explained that we haven’t gotten our food yet, she said she’ll check. She did come back in a timely later, but just said that it’ll be a minute. Obviously it wasn’t a minute. So while the other table was finished eating and onto dessert was when our food came. I am annoyed at this point because the food came late and the amount they gave us was doubled because both orders came at the same time instead of in different rounds. When I said we didn’t order this much, the waiter talked back and said we did. If only I could explain to him that the food he gave us were ordered individually - almost 20 minutes apart, but I held back as I was in a party. But for him to deny it right away is not very accommodating and honestly kind of rude. He ended take most of the food back since our hunger has surpassed, but left some so we could enjoy the last of our meal. Anyways, shout out to the one waitress who we sadly met at the end who got to us attentively and kindly. Others should learn from her.Food was decent. Not the most mind blowing flavour wise. However there was variety.Would I come back? Probably not. But if I do I hope the waiting staff are trained better and work on their time management.“
“It was a Saturday and we just finished dinner there. Service was great and genuine. The gentlemen was polite and kind. The lady also asked if we liked the food.Food was great and good price.We are just wondering why it not as busy. More people should visit and support family businesses like this.This place brings us back in time and has a unique vibe which we like.“
“Stopped in here on a whim and super happy we did. We got the special they have right now which is char siu soy sauce chicken and rice combo that comes with soup, all for $8.99 plus tax.The soup was delicious - a lot of quality Asian ingredients were used in it. The char Siu was nice and lean, and they use a different recipe with the sauce that is a little different from other places, but still delicious. The texture on all the food including the rice was perfect. Sometimes BBQ places make the rice too mushy, but this one was great.Lastly the people here seem really nice and were very welcoming to us. Seemed like they knew a lot of the people coming in too. Happy to support friendly people ?Note - only accepts debit and cash“
“Amazing food, good atmosphere, great service and at an affordable price! Been here a couple of times and will go again in the future. So far we have tried their skewers, tons of side dishes (can we ask for more? not sure) and couple of kimchi fried rice. These are all fantastic! Our most favourites are the Kimchi/Roe Fried Rice and the Small Intestines. We want to try their pork belly BBQ table next time. Highly recommended!Only issue we had last time is the parking in the area. I forgot to ask if there’s parking at the back. Had to park a couple of blocks away in the residential area. if you are taking transit, it’s pretty easy to go to, there’s a couple of bus stops very near the restaurant.“
“I have been to this location many times. The staff are always very friendly and attentive and the food is always amazing. Went with a small group on a Tuesday night and tried the Ultimate AYCE option for the first time which was 100% worth the upgrade from the Premium menu . The food was brought out quickly and the meats were fresh and flavoured to perfection. I also recommend trying the garlic shio cabbage! The dessert options were great with a toasty s’more and refreshing ice-cream after a delicious meal.Will definitely come back and highly recommend!“
“Nice small business. people were friendly, service was great and fast, prices were realy great for what you get. staff were nice. Food was great and flavorful and good portion size. I got the triangle burger. it was so good I forgot to get pics ? I would defiantly come back. location is a bit hidden so you would have to drive the area to know there there.Parking: there are limited spots for parking but not usually busy so easy to find a spot“
“Had a very pleasant evening here celebrating my birthday. Our waiter Paulo was very nice and provided exceptional service. The food was delicious and the prices are fair. I would recommend this spot for authentic Portuguese food in Toronto.“
“The meat skewers are huge, and the set meal for 4 people is very cost-effective. We also ordered grilled fish, which was absolutely delicious, but it was too busy and had to wait a little longer when calling the waiter. All in all, you can go there next time for a dinner party.“
“Was recommended to this place by a local. My wife and I were looking for food to take in the car on the way back to the states. We were greeted by the owner who helped expedite the order so we were able to hit the road. Food was amazing even hours later. Some of the best chicken fingers I ever had. Would definitely recommend and will definitely go back.“
“Absolutely delicious East African dishes!My fav arethe ribs,mogo (cassava)kababmishkakiThey also have all the East African snacksLike mogo chips, peanut pastry, buyu ( yummmy?)MUST TRY IF YOUR IN TOWN! Everytime I visit Toronto I end up here atleast once and take a few plates of ribs to go Very sweet family husband and wife that own the shop! Beautiful hospitality and very honest!“
“We recently ordered food trays from Tahanan Restaurant after the previous caterer cancelled on us the day before. Their service is execellent 10/10 and they were able to deliver even with less than 24hr notice. They are professional and everybody loved their food. We definitely recommend this place to everybody. Maraming, maraming salamat po for accommodating us❤️“

“Must say this is a beautiful restaurant. Went in to use the washroom and end up have these amazing Garlic Parm potatoes wedges , that oh my God!!! Delicious. Suha was amazing assisting us, very friendly and helpful. 100% recommended ? good job.“
“Their barbecue pork is honestly my favorite out of all the places I have had barbecur pork at. I haven't been here in a few years but dropped by recently. Pleasantly surprised to find that their quality has not changed at all!I am not a fan of rice so I just order barbecue pork, and a side of their ginger green onion sauce to go. Typically, if I'm feeling like making a meal, I'll utilize those two items to make a delicious stir fried noodle dish but been feeling lazy recently so I've been using it for open faced sandwiches on sourdough ✨Oh! They do also have two sizes when it comes to their ginger green onion sauce, and the ladies do usually confirm with you which size you want before they charge you.They weigh the meat they chop up for you but I'll attach a photo of their pricing as or January 2024 for ease of referencing.“
“Ordered through Uber and despite the long wait for preparation, the Smoked BBQ Beef over rice and BBQ Chicken over rice were absolutely worth it! Both dishes were incredibly delicious, with generous portions that left me completely satisfied. Would definitely recommend!“
“The food is worth for the money. It comes with a drink which is a plus. But the BBQ tastes does confuse me a bit. It's not Chinese BBQ favour nor Taiwanese BBQ favour like other store. The portion is good. Not the best, but good for a try.“
