The boss is really slow, running around cutting the meat in half. I don't know what I'm doing. In the middle of doing something, he suddenly started to get something for the customers behind him.
How many minutes can it take to cook over a fire, cut the bread, chop the meat, and roast it?
The efficiency is really low.

So freaking slow service. Just like Subway way to prepare a sandwich, I truly don’t get why it takes forever. And please serve your clients in order. PLEASE! OMFG.

Extremely low-key small place. Very clean and friendly service. Very little English spoken.
The donkey meat is extremely good, I can recall only reindeer meat as good.
There's only one table.
Braised donkey meat is delicious and something new to try for everyone.

The donkey burger was decent! The best part was the uncle from Tianjin—very welcoming, friendly, and chatty. Had a great conversation!

I'm not really sure what to make of Donkey King. This is a popular spot in the Yonge and Finch area that is really the only place you can get this kind of food. We tried it out since we saw a lot of food traffic while waiting for our drinks next door. Since we were not the most comfortable getting their signature dishes, we opted for the lamb skewers instead. These were NOT cheap, despite the no frills interior and limited staff. I believe it was $7 for 2 pieces, which is comparable to the per piece price you'd find at more upscale places. I will say the man working there was kind and helpful despite our Chinese not being the best. If you don't speak Chinese, you may have a hard time ordering.

There is seating inside but I really cannot imagine anyone sitting there and dining. The tables and chairs do not look the comfiest or cleanest, and the air inside is quite stuffy with the scent and oil from cooking. I would only do take away here.

Overall the lamb skewers we ordered were good, but the price did not match the low-budget and dirty interior of the shop.

I looooove the lamb skewers! It's actually grilled, large chunks with fat and well seasoned. This is the taste I missed so much QQ. This place is now my go to lamb skewers shop. I couldn't take a picture cause I ate the skewers too fast

The boss is nice and if you like saltier skewers he's willing to accommodate

Hebei people say that donkey meat is delicious when grilled, and the cakes are crispy. Unfortunately, they no longer sell pan noodles when I went there. The boss's attitude is also very good
