Chako Barbecue & Izakaya

The food was excellent! Kemny and Angela were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our dining experience. The rest of the staff were also friendly and attentive. Highly recommended — we will definitely be coming back to this restaurant.

Great food and service! Thanks Ling!

The new renovation are beautiful !! Servers are super nice and helpful.Fresh and delicious food 👍👍 will definitely visit again

Chakos used to be a good place that was cheap, but seems to be a bit pricey for okay quality meat. Gratitudity is already charged on your bill, so make sure you look at your bill before over tipping by accident.

Kenny our host & Lyn our server were excellent. They went out of their way to accommodate our son and his needs, they were very compassionate, we are very grateful for their kind and compassionate hearts and great service.

It's terrible. It's the worst buffet in all of Toronto. The meat is not fresh, there are no dipping sauces, and no desserts. Besides serving the food, there is no automatic service at all. When checking out, they automatically add a 15% tip

Food was excellent, and server (Zoe) was amazing! We had fun games to play while we were eating and won cool prizes. Definitely a place to come back too, especially with the family!!!

Came out to Chakos with my friends on a Saturday night. One of my friends has never been to a Korean bbq, and he was skeptical about it. He couldn't understand the concept of cooking your own food, but once we got started, he had a blast. The food is amazing as usual, and the atmosphere is just as good as the food. Price is expensive, but considering the amount of food you can get and eat, I think it's justified. We'll be back for sure.

We had the cheaper all you can eat and it was amazing, really enjoyed the ordering method.

It would be nice if we had a fan on top of us to take away some of the smoke as it caused some iritations.

Also, a bit pricy with the service charge, tax and tip comes up to about 130$ without drinks

Food is generally ok. Service sucks. Takes forever to get the order, and order was also wrong. Nobody bothers to service the desk, and exchange the grill.
Definitely need more and well trained staff.

Came here in Sept 2024 with a group of friends on a weekend night, we reserved table of 6 for dinner at 7:30pm. The whole restaurant only had like 4 or 5 tables, and our table. I thought weekends would be pretty packed with people, I guess this can reflects something to us, next time.

The food quality was just on par, they marinated the food too long, causing most of the meat too salty and very less selection of vegetables.

Staffs pretended didn't see you, even we waved our hands and called "hi, hello". We just want to order more food. Staff came over and to change the hot grill platefor us, but need us to help her to clear the table a bit, and we had to dodge, or else can get hit bt the hot grill round thing. Again, there were many empty tables besides, can't you just put it on there instead of asking us to help? We were there to eat and to celebrate for a special occasion. Service in this restaurant was below par.

Overall 2 stars, there are more BBQ options out there.

Have not been to this location in about 4 years. They renovated and changed the menu completely. What an incredible change and experience. Even if you just get the classic menu option, there is a ton of food to choose from.

Love chako and they're special menu of 28.99 per person on this delivery occasion. We walked in unknowingly while we're looking for places to dine that night and found this place busting with nice aroma and strong smells we went in and seated ourselves to enjoy this unique menu that only happens 3 hour before closing because they close they're doors 2 hours before scheduled closes. Don't be those type to waste food cooked or uncooked you'll be charged it's insane to waste food at any all you can eat restaurant.
