“Not all portugese grills are the same _ Firstly when you walk into this establishment you notice how clean it is _ no matter what time you walk in _ its spotless unlike some other restaurants where the first thing that hits you is the uncleanness _ Lavrador's Bbq open kitchen is huge and the place has been there for a long time _ but the massive overhead exhaust systems grills and ovens are extremely clean and new looking _ always shiny _ hot table as well (which contains and displays some of the tastiest food ive had if not the tastiest) always fresh and kept at proper temperatures _ next thing you see is Linda the owner coming out from the back walking towards you with a smile if she is not already serving another customer _ always friendly _ never a long face _ even though she might be exhausted near the end of a long day from all the cooking cleaning and serving (not to mention the heat) she is very professional and does most of it herself _ not to take anything away from her helper _ also the variety of food should be noted _ she has the main dishes every day Like the chicken _ potatoes _ rice _ fish which is all extremely tasty but she also throws in some other dishes that you will find on certain days like chineese style stir fry rice and lasagna _ stew with potatoes peas and pork_ fava beans,roast beef roast pork cod fish stew,cod fish and potato pie if that's your thing _ and where else can you get a huge turkey drum stick and feel like a king _ also her home made corn bread is amazing_ and for what you get in regards to quality of service_ quality of atmosphere and quality of most importantly the food the prices are unbeleivable _ I havent tried all of the dishes yet but I plan to _ im on my way there now

“Great Portuguese BBQ chicken, highly recommended!!!“

“One of my family members said this is the best place for Portuguese food in Toronto. We were hungry so we thought we would give it a try. We phoned through our order and went and collected it and once it was home we tucked in. The food was EXCELLENT! There was plenty to go round and for us all. Highly Recommended!“

“I want to give a huge shout-out to the amazing waitress Paula! Every time I visit, she and Shan are the only ones who are always smiling, incredibly polite, and ready to serve with enthusiasm. The food is consistently delicious, making it truly worth experiencing Portuguese cuisine in Toronto. Note: They always provide exceptional service ????“

“The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were exceptional. The establishment is very clean and has an upscale feeling with home like treatment. The owner came around to check on each table. Warm and welcoming. My 9 year old grandson loved his food and pinches of the cheek from the maître d’. 😆 We’ve been before and will definitely come back again.“

“brother is mashallah a very good comedian, I asked if he had a halal certificate and he replied with this is a restaurant not immigration, do you get it? may Allah make it easy for us muslims trying to verify halal food, Ameen.he wants me to go off a pinky promise he eats halal because he's Somalian ? ? ?“

“This is my go to spot when I’m craving barbeque they never disappoint. The barbeque ribs and pulled pork are my favourite. I can always expect quality food and excellent customer service when I come here. The owner is the nicest guy. their wings are amazing too. If I’m being picky, the only thing i’m not a fan of is their cornbread. I wish it was less dense and a little bit sweeter but that’s just personal preference. Otherwise everything is 10 out of 10 and I would highly recommend it.“

“excellent service and even better food. I recommend to everyone“

“The prompt service, the food quality and tastiness all does not disappoint! The atmosphere reminds me of Korea which brings back good memories. We even had a specific request to bring us the noodles we ordered 15 minutes after the meat and they were so exact on time. We came for a birthday celebratory meal and service was beyond so we were very thankful! 10/10 recommend!“

“Great good with great value“

“Great Barbeque joint with a great selection of dishes to choose from. Corn bread was incredible and the baked beans... Mmmm“

“Awesome food and friendly staff!“

“Loving this restaurant. Their menu is so creative and a lot of fun. We had Poutine and the Redonkadonk Sandwich last night... pulled pork, smoked brisket & bacon on a bun with fried onions and coleslaw! Wow! It was DELICIOUS 😄 Their homemade gravy has so much flavour and my girls loved the poutine... however, I REALLY wish the poutine came with cheese curds! Shredded cheese just isn’t the same...“

“Been a long time since I was on RONCY and at BARQUE. It was definitely per-COVID and a nice sunny summer day on their patio.
Glad to see they have survived as a RONCY staple. A winter's cold walk was ok but nice to get inside!!!
As a Saturday BRUNCH I was a bit disappointed with the lack of BBQ items but we managed. The NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH ($26) was crispy and delicious ...and not too hot (for me I am not so good with heat....) as to enjoy its flavours. Served with a generous portion of thin crispy fries with a hotter paprika seasoning ...excellent!!!
The SMOKED DUCK PANCAKES ($26) was a bit of a bizarre flavour combination but I tried it. Light fluffy pancakes (3) and the blueberry compote was thick and flavourful........but the duck just did not do it for me. A side of SMOKEY DILL PICKLE SLAW ($12) was a combination of the vinegary-creamy southern low country states but I really do prefer mine the more northern creamy.
Friendly and expert service and apparently a restaurant which INCLUDED TIPS IN THEIR PRICES.......which I have NEVER experienced....here in Canada anyway.
I was really hoping for a larger BBQ selection for lunch but I guess I should have checked the site before we went in. Also,
I obviously do not get into the 416 often as I thought that the menu selections were a bit pricy, however, I was told by my more "travelled" daughters that that seems to be the norm for Toronto brunches.I think I will stay out here in the more reasonable "burbs".

Parking: RONCY is a PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY neighbourhood and VERRRRYYYY difficult to find parking close by on the main and side streets.“

“I recommend The Carbon Bar, excellent food, perfect service, as well as the hostess Renata who served us very well.“

“I went yesterday evening with my family for my graduation. The ambiance was beautiful with warm lights and plants everywhere. Our server, Javier, was very attentive and funny! And of course, the food was excellent — even today, our leftovers were flavourful. Ordered 3x brisket mac & cheese, 1/2lb brisket, pulled pork mac & cheese, sliders, tacos, buttermilk onion rings, shoestring fries and potato salad.
All of the food was amazing, but my family raved over the brisket mac & cheese and the buttermilk rings. Tender, melt-in-the-mouth high quality meat. So good.
Will definitely come again.“

“The food was extremely good. The portions were amazing but the only problem we had was with the servers. Both the servers seemed kind of rude to us ( maybe it was just their tone).The lady server we asked to get our side dishes refilled did not care and we had to ask the other server to get our side dishes filled.Overall everything was nice but the customer service could improve by a big margin.“

“Wow! Just back from the gym and heated up the brisket. This is pure poetry! I'm just so happy we can get food like this in Aurora - Thanks guys!“

“Such a cute Korean bbq spot! From the moment I walked in, service was on top of it with wait times and moving ready customers into a seat. Waiters do a great job explaining the process for new customers to the experience. Will definitely be coming back!“

“You order at the counter as soon as you walk in kinda like a cafeteria. They gave us some samples of brisket to try which was really good, tender and juicy. The only dessert is pecan pie. I don’t think they have any coffee or cider. They have beer and pop. Gonna try the ribs and wings next time but we were very happy with this offering.“

“This barbecue rice restaurant really surprised me! They not only provide traditional delicious barbecue rice, but also low-fat fitness meals specially prepared for fitness people, especially suitable for people like me who pay attention to healthy eating. The barbecue is tender and juicy, and paired with low-fat side dishes and low-oil cooking methods, it won't feel burdensome at all. The portion size is also very reasonable, meeting energy needs without feeling excessive. The service is also very considerate. When ordering, you can freely choose the ingredients and combinations to fully meet different dietary needs. Recommended to all friends who love food and want to eat healthily!

The above is written by chat gpt. This rice is a bit salty.“

“Hongming BBQ’s new barbecue set meal for four people at $79.99 is delicious and cost-effective! ! This restaurant not only has delicious Northeastern barbecue, but also has authentic pot-wrapped pork and Northeastern cold noodles. I order it every time I come here‼ ️And 50% grilled fish! 20 per capita“

“As someone who grew up on HKBBQ - this place is legit, no nonsense. Best in the options across Chinatown hands down. My parents and their siblings ate here when they immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong. Classic HKBBQ, exactly how it should be, plain and simple. Their Char Siu (bbq pork) and Siu Yuk (roast pork) are essential and good. We’ve bought it in huge platters for parties and it’s well loved. I do like their roast duck and soy chicken as well but I’d say they aren’t as good as the porks. I usually get these on a bowl of rice noodles with soup. Can’t get any better than that. The prices are good. Cash/debit only - as it should be for HKBBQ. In fact, I love this place so much that we took our engagement photos here.“

“Stopped in after Cask Days at Bar Volo on St. Nicholas and we were just looking for anything fun in the neighbourhood. A week later, I'm still thinking about two menu items: The coriander in bean curd roll skewer and soy sauced beef with cucumber and peanut.

It's so good that I'm thinking about how to reverse engineer the latter one for home.

Go. You won't regret it.“

“If you want to try an authentic Persian dish well made in Toronto I highly recommend Qatar.

One of their signature dishes “ dizi,” is incredible—filled with lamb, chickpeas, and potatoes in a rich broth. You get to mash bread yourself, which adds a fun, traditional touch.

The plate is severed with fresh sangak bread and pickles, herbs If you want to try authentic Persian flavors, Dizi is the place to go!“

“The food at Pig Out is outstanding. The portions are large and very reasonable. It is the second time I have ordered the Pig Out Platter! The meat fell off the bone. Their side dishes are amazing. The staff is lovely and can’t do enough to satisfy their customer. Thank you again for the lovely service. I will recommend this place to anyone! ❤️“

“The taste is just a passable Texas barbecue. It's not that it doesn't taste good, but it doesn't seem to have any special charm unique to this restaurant. I felt like the portions were a bit small, but I was full after eating them. All the types of fries were in good condition as they were crispy and didn't smell like oil.“

“good food neat and clean“

“We started to have lunch here since 2 yrs ago, the food quality and taste never disappoint us. I'd recommend the bbq and crispy chicken combo if its your first time here, personnally i'll say crispy chicken is the best but my friends like bbq.“

“first time trying this bbq place and we love it! favorite new place in the neighbourhood! come and try it!“

“I was pleasantly surprised by the value at La Parrilla. The quality of the food is outstanding, especially considering the reasonable prices. The enchiladas were rich and satisfying, and the salsa had just the right kick. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food without breaking the bank!“

“Yum ?
I love spicy food but not in love with chili oil. But their dish was spicy yet yummy. I read a few reviews that mentioned that it's too spicy. If you enjoy Korean food or malatang, malashangua, you won't find it spicy. It was actually perfect for me. Most of the dishes are spicy, so check if you're with kids. Despite this, I did find some dishes that aren't spicy.
Price was great, and service ? I do wish to come back. Hope they keep all good as it is now.“

“Had to get a full BBQ roasted duck last minute. Found them on Google and called the owner. His name is Joe. Very nice guy. I bought a duck just before he closed at 7pm. Good quality and good tasting duck! My senior parents enjoyed it and they are very picky. Will return to buy more! Thanks Joe!“

“Went here for a birthday party for my friend Felix and the food is incredible and super authentic! The wait staff are all Chinese-speaking and it was a great opportunity to try some incredible lamb, pork, chicken, and seafood dishes grilled.

This was my first time trying a century old egg, my friend Boyu told me that this is a dish that separates men from boys in China - and I'm glad to find out that I'm now capable of being a Chinese man.

Great experience, our group was very boisterous and obnoxious, and the wait staff were incredibly patient with us.“

“I came to Kung fu beef, not really knowing what to expect. I've eaten similar in other places, where you cook at your table. I believe the menu here is somewhat difficult as there is not much explanation on what anything is other than photo and name. For someone who isn't bbq savvy, that could be tough. Our server was kind. I didn't feel like we could ask a lot of questions, so was doing my best to help the others at my table. We wished there was more variety of sides, more vegetables or something. If you're looking for meat heavy, you'll be happy though! Sauces not being labeled was tough too, we didn't really know what any of them were. None of the meat we got was bad, we just weren't really sure what most of it was or how it would taste/cook. We ended up doing buffet, and ordering many things to try. It took a long time to cook things, (some even burned a bit) and I noticed with my group the people or person cooking doesn't really get to enjoy eating themselves. My personal experience was ok I guess, the place was clean. I probably wouldn't pursue the experience often.“

“We had the spicy pork bulgogi on a sizzling platter and seafood noodle soup and we are stuffffffffed. Also hot take but the california rolls are weirdly good. Cozy place too with a cute front room. Our server was very friendly and kind too. :)“

“It’s better then KFC Cheese stick OMG🤤best I’ve ever had The spicy 🌶️ pastas ou 😋 So I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My family has been ordering food from Sun Bbq for over a decade. The taste, quantity and quality of their food have always remained excellent. Truly a hidden gem for a rather small catering company. Thanks Jesse and Ken! Please keep up the good work! ??“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere.“

“Simply delicious! Great food, great owners!“

“I dined in with my boyfriend and friend on Saturday ($45.99/per person) evening around 9:30pm and was notified the kitchen will close at 10:30pm. We would have about 1h to eat as we were really hungry walking in and pretty full after. This is my third time dining at this restaurant location and the beef on the all day menu is my favourite! They only accept cash or debit!“

“Best middle eastern food ever.“

“Micheal and assume his wife run this family joint. They treat everyone like family. Ordered 4 chicken salad and souvlaki dinners and what a good job on food. The picture of the water is symbol of their heart. I forgot to ask for water for the kids and they give the kid a bottle and say don’t worry about it. Michael saw my kids and he brought them two bag of fries while we waited for our food.

This is not a one off act of kindness, a young guy was about to leave and they packed up some soup for him to try.

DON’T go expecting free stuff you cheapskate!!! Go because they are good folks producing quality food and it shows.

TIP well!!!“

“Enjoy the main dish with 1 dollar drink promotion. I ordered Curry chicken rice with white peach oolong tea, it was really delicious! Will definitely come back!“

“Food and service were great!“

“Just bought chicken and pork bbqs from their Lancaster branch, masarap ang timpla ng bbqs they’re sweet and savory. Generous din ang serving, a stick of chicken bbq can be shared by 2. Lastly the peanut sauce - sauce pa lang ulam na. Will definitely order again :)“

“Excellent food, vibes, drinks. Music was a little loud but the food quality overcame it and then some. Especially loved the secreto pork and the confit duck leg. Everything had a great Thai twist and was cooked very well. The mango sticky rice cocktail was delightful“

“The crispiest Calamari,
Perfect winds and a ton of more choices, make sure you know how many people you're grabbing food for, because it's so easy to buy more than you need!

(These guys will make you catering sized To go boxes & make it so easy (& Cheap!) to feed an entire crowd great food!)“

“Great family dinner at Kobi! They’re doing a takeout menu during the current lockdown, too, if you want some Korean BBQ meat packages.“
