“This place is amazing. The owner, Linda was so warm and inviting she made us feel like we were being welcomed into her home. The food also tasted like a real home cooked meal. Everything is homemade including the pastel de nata as you can see in the photo - it was by far the best one I’ve ever tried. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Great good with great value“

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

I must say that GY and Daniel went above and beyond to make sure that we were getting an amazing experience. Will definitely recommend this place and come back!“

“Awesome food and friendly staff!“

“The Bull BBQ Pit on St. Clair is one of the best BBQ places I’ve visited in Toronto! The food is delicious — especially the brisket and pulled pork — and the portions are generous. The staff are friendly, respectful, and always make sure customers feel welcome. The restaurant has a nice, casual atmosphere that’s perfect for families or groups. Highly recommend!“

“Had a fantastic first visit last night! Great service, friendly staff and the food was nothing short of phenomenal. We went with the Sample for 2 with the Fried Duck Tacos to start; simple yet delicious and the Chinese BBQ sauce was incredible! The classic baby back ribs were more than on point and the chicken is just something you want to dive in to and devour! The Mac 'n' Cheese is a perfect side and the real highlight of the meal was the brisket!!! Better than any prime rib I've ever had and melt-in-your-mouth tender. 5 stars and highly recommended! ***** — with Gretchen Thompson at Barque Smokehouse (Toronto).“

“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!“

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

“I had a great experience at Lahijan Restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a cozy Iranian vibe that made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in.
The food was authentic and full of rich Persian flavors. The rice was perfectly cooked and fragrant, and the kebabs were tender and well-seasoned. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, just like traditional Iranian cuisine should be.
The staff were friendly, respectful, and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, it was a very satisfying dining experience, and I would definitely recommend Lahijan Restaurant to anyone looking for genuine Persian food.“

“An amazing hidden gem. I cannot say enough good things about the service and food we had while celebrating valentines day with their Winterlicious menu. My fiance and I had the most wonderful service from Lorne whom was very knowledgeable, thoughtful in his ideas and explanations of every menu item we tried. He insisted on the Mac n Cheese and the cornbread and thank goodness he did! The bbq was delightful and rich in flavour. We cannot wait to go back again!
Items Eaten: Pulled Pork Tacos, Chicken Wings, Brisket, Ribs, Mac N Cheese, cornbread and for dessert - Cheesecake and Bread Pudding.“

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

“Holy Smoke lives up to the sign in the window, this is legit Central Texas BBQ! The brisket was incredibly tender and smoky, and the ribs were cooked to perfection. It’s hard to find barbecue this authentic in the area. If you’re craving real deal meat and great sides, this is the spot. Highly recommend!“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere.“

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

“Had an amazing meal here! Ordered the 锅包肉 (Guo Bao Rou), 香辣肉丝 (spicy shredded pork), and lamb skewers. Everything was delicious — the Guo Bao Rou was perfectly crispy and tangy, the spicy shredded pork had just the right kick.Great service and cozy atmosphere too. Highly recommend!“

“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! ❤️“

“Forgot the prices as the time we came was a big group. Despite the chaos (as we added on our order a few times), food was served promptly. Skewers was slightly on the dry end but seasoning was decent. My favourite was the tofu skewer!

Seating was comfortable and decently spacious. Staff was extremely kind and friendly - we had some popsicles with us and to avoid them melting they were willing to let us put in their freezer temporarily (and reminded us to take them when we were leaving)!“

“Simply delicious! Great food, great owners!“

“I had a great dinner with friends on 8 June. Good food of great value. Waiter Samuel is cheerful and helpful.“

“I recently had The Sun Barbecue Co. cater my party, and it was honestly one of the highlights of the entire event. From the food quality to the presentation, everything exceeded expectations and left all of my guests raving.

The spread they prepared was incredible. The turon was perfectly crispy and caramelized, with that amazing sweet crunch that disappeared almost immediately once people started trying it. The fried giant prawns were a huge hit — perfectly cooked, lightly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. They were one of the first dishes to go.

The fried rice with shrimp and vegetables was another standout. It was fragrant, well-balanced, and loaded with shrimp and fresh veggies — not just filler rice like you sometimes get with catering. Guests kept going back for seconds because it was that good.

The fried chicken wings were honestly unforgettable. They were enormous in size, perfectly crispy, and incredibly juicy. Multiple people commented on how big they were and how well-seasoned they tasted.

They also prepared a beautiful mixed vegetable and tofu dish that had an amazing variety of vegetables, cooked perfectly so everything still had great texture and flavor. It was the perfect balance to the rest of the dishes and showed how much care goes into their cooking.

To finish everything off, they served a sunflower mango pudding that looked as amazing as it tasted. It was beautifully presented, light, refreshing, and the perfect sweet ending to the meal.

Beyond the food itself, the team at The Sun Barbecue Co. was incredibly professional, organized, and easy to work with. Catering a party can be stressful, but they made everything smooth and effortless.

So many of my guests asked where the food came from, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for catering for a party or special event. Amazing food, generous portions, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great location for dining. Good side dishes, good value with the price. Everything is perfect, I love when they have bigbang music. Truly love it. If you are looking for a place to hang out, it is a good place. Food is not super delicious but it is good.“

“I ordered the bbq and crispy rice one and it was so good. The portion was generous, the BBQ was flavorful and tender, and the crispy chicken had that perfect crunchy texture. Everything was well-seasoned without being too salty or oily. Definitely worth it!“

“Hands down the best Char Siu I have found in Toronto. A perfect proportion of lean and fatty parts of each pork slice, which is also cooked to tenderness with a lovely caramelized crust for an extra dimension in texture. The sauce isn't overly sweet and manages to balance the sweet and savory nicely.

The crispy skin of roast pork is a dealbreaker, cause that texture contrast makes all the difference between the various BBQ stalls, while the whole chicken is itself unremarkable, the ginger scallion oil makes up for 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!“

“I have been going to this since they were From bathurst&bloor , yonge&wellesley to York Mills. This is the best Korean food. I've always recommend this spot to everyone i talk to and props to Mr and Mrs Kim for thier hardwork. I Always order Yummy Special“

“Came here with a large group with relatively little warning (called 30 minutes in advance) and everyone was so kind and accommodating. The food came quickly despite it being busy, the staff was courteous and everything was absolutely delicious. Will be back!! (With less people haha!)“

“This is probably the 5th time I come here and I have always been served professionally, the food is fresh, tastes amazing, the restaurant looks great and it’s clean, including the bathroom. You don’t wait a long time for your food, it comes up super quick if its not too busy.“

“Great Chinese BBQ takeout!
I ordered 2 items lunch meal, roasted pork and roast chicken. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and not too greasy. Portions were generous with veggies and the prices were reasonable.
Unfortunately no dine in table.
The staff were friendly. Definitely coming back again!“

“I have been a customer for more than 7 years here now and I can tell you that the quality of the food is always great. Great service as usual and good customer service through the phone orders as well. I have always ordered the large tray chicken and brought it to parties, weddings, and even home for the family and everyone loves it. Downside is parking, there is curbside parking but not for longer than 5 minutes. Overall, still my number 1 spot for big order takeouts or catering.“

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Etob Restaurant cater for our event last night, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, their service was exceptional, professional, timely, and full of warmth. Every interaction with their team made us feel like we were in the best hands.

The food? Absolutely outstanding. Their dish was full of rich flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. Our guests are still raving about how delicious the food was It truly elevated the entire experience of the night.

And even though this was catering, it’s clear that the same heart and soul that goes into their restaurant dishes was poured into every tray. The quality, taste, and attention to detail were unmatched.

Etob Restaurant brought not only food, but atmosphere their presentation added to the warmth and elegance of the evening. We are so grateful and would highly recommend them for any event or dining experience. 10/10 across the board.

Thank you, Etob Restaurant, for making our evening unforgettable!“

“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. :)“

“They specialize in chicken and do it incredibly well. Ordered a whole chicken and it was delicious, came with a red sauce and garlic sauce. The fries were perfect for this meal. Loved their soup (chicken noodle AND lentil) and their cucumber/tomato salad was so fresh. Was having a bad week/month and the young lady at the counter was incredibly thoughtful. There are good people in this world!! The place inside was spotless (including the washroom). Will be back with friends. Thank you!!“

“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.“

“Abdullah from Factory Barbecue Chicken was absolutely amazing to work with. We were running many events on Saturdays and needed a variety of food for our guests and student programs—sometimes chicken wings and sometimes other meals. Everything was always delicious, especially the hot sauce!

Abdullah was extremely reliable and professional. He always arrived on time and personally delivered the food himself. The service was friendly, efficient, and the quality of the food was excellent.

I would recommend Abdullah 24/7 without hesitation. If we have future student programs or events, we will definitely continue to use his business.

Thank you again, Abdullah, for everything that you do!🙌
