Bad experience this store i bought roast pork/lechon today and it seemed it was cooked few days or my be they did not preserved the meat well, and part of the meat smelled aweful. It was a waste of money and ended throwing rightaway to d garbage. So disappointed. In addition, they don't accept card only cash.

Solid. Nice they're in the local neighborhood. Generous portion. Good mixture of fat and lean pork. Pork on the sweeter side. Duck was nice with not too many bones. May have to go early for some meats place is popular and may run out. Helps if you speak Cantonese. Menu board in the store is not accurate and apparently left over from previous owners. Not a sit down place.

I ordered a 60 lbs roast pig for $300. I arranged to have it picked up for 1pm on a Saturday. The pig was delivered on time and neatly packaged. The store staff even helped me carry the pig to my car. The pig was excellent and fed everyone at our 10+ person celebration. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender. I would order again when the need arises.

Ordered whole lechon $280. Crispy delicious. No smell, we got lucky. It was recommended to us by our Filipino friends. They are small family business. Accepting only cash. Will order again.

Update: i had to try just to roast duck to see if it was as good and let me tell you, i have tried hundreds of roast bbq duck all over asia and here and its as good. The meat is juicy, its well flavored and the skin is crispy like it should be. I am in love. 😍 Ive been meaning to try this for years. Finally did and its SO GOOD! Ill be back. The owners are friendly. The shifu said their duck was good and he wasnt lying. Yum yum! You cant really dine in here. There is one table against the wall but thats about it. Its a cash only place too. It was $11 for the two meat bento box.

The Chinese roast pork is amazing!! Our new go to for Chinese bbq. The duck was fresh but wasn’t as flavourful as we’d like. Can’t wait to try the other meats here next time.

Food is Great. 1 STAR for Tasty LECHON because of aroma and spices, how they prepared it. We decided to pay a deposit for 50$. and pickup the other day. 1 STAR for Nice Location. 1 STAR for Small Size cost 260$ not Bad. Compare to other sellers. (Good for 30 servings) 1 STAR LESS Need a Hospitable Experience. The Owner is Rude and demanding. Because of pile of orders ahead, and the date of the pickup time she insist it on the time she wants. Instead of our time to take it...i just took my reciept and go. SHE NEEDS MORE EXPERIENCE HANDLE AND GREET CUSTOMERS IN A NICE WAY. LASTLY 1 STAR LESS for Raw Meat is on the table, and is pack...i dont know if they are selling this raw meat? Messy and disorganise store. See it for yourself. (I hope they pass for food safety clearance) OVERALL... i still recommend buying their Lechon but.. the rude lady must smile learn to treat her clients in a nice way. Parking: Free parking infront of the store only for pickup and customers Wheelchair accessibility: Accesible for wheelchair.

My brother bought lechon in this store and he pays full by cash and my husband is the one who pick it up the lechon, my husband forgot that the lechon was paid already , so he paid again... we just realize now after a week while waiting on my brother to pay us, untill he said it was paid already so we just realize now that we paid twice so its $600 for a whole lechon , so i called the store and they dont have any solution on it... you know that before you order here you need to pay right away, and my husband came in this store for the first time maybe he thought he needs to pay again but he show the receipt and it says paid already but they still accepted the money!!!!!!! *i know we have faults and misunderstanding here. and while im calling them they turning off my call!!!!! Yes $300 is a big amount for us. i hope this wont happen to anyone again, they dont refund it...haysss.. This is the receipt when my husband pick up the lechon!

December 22, 2023

Food is good. customer services is really bad they can t solve customer service problems. The owner/staff should know the policy when it comes picking up lechon! They shouldn t accept money to someone who will pick the lechon because it s already paid! We all know mistakes happens sometimes but this store cannot refund anything/ cannot do anything. Their poor customer service will never help you or will never get something to return. I ll never recommend Mang Tomas Lechon because they don t make their customers happy.

December 22, 2023

Store policy when you placed an order in advanced you have to pay first which all businesses do. But in our case the day when we came to pick up our order , the person who came to pick it up had no idea that the Lechon was paid already so he paid again but they didnt inform the person that it was paid already. So 1week later my sister called them to inform that they paid twice. The lady she spoke with was rude and not accommodating and told her why she just called them now. My sister explained the reason why and what happened and asked to get her money back coz they paid twice, and the lady said they dont do refund. Then my sister tried to contact them again they just keep hanging up on her. Is that how you handle customer complaints? Very unprofessional. There policy was pay first before you placed an order they shouldve told the person who came and pick up the order that it was paid but instead they still accepted the payment. They just pocketed another $300 on top of the Lechon we ordered from them. In this case they are not honest with their customers. Your reputation is more important than money, but I guess its the other way around. Let just say there is a miscommunication on their part but you as a business owner you should know better and should handle this issue properly. Very bad customer service!!! P.S when you ask someone to pick up an order on your behalf always ask if the order is paid already, otherwise you will end up paying double.

Char Siu, roasted pork, duck, they also have whole pig orders and combos. Great value. VERY GOOD taste.

★★
Local Guide
December 22, 2022

The chinese roast pork was nice and crispy and the char siu was decent. However, its unnecessarily pricy due to the prep guy including bones in the box to jack up the weight. Other places will cut out the bones before packing. The char siu also has bones included which is odd since traditionally the cut is made from a boneless piece of meat. Decent food but be wary of overpaying for mostly inedible bone weight.

December 22, 2022

Called the store in the morning. they dont accept interact transfer and told us to personally come to the store. So we went there on a rainy day. when we reached the store, it was closed but there was an open sign at the door. We called their number but they were not picking up the call. Very INCONVENIENT. Just wasted our time going to their location.

This store does not give official receipt and they get cash with tax. They overcharged me the last time I went there, walking to my car I calculated the amount I paid and it was overcharged I went back right away how did they come up with that amount and they could not provide me the receipt I paid and their faces showing disgrace to me. I will report this incident so they will stop overcharging people.

December 22, 2022

Their roasted pig is good, but for sure they are finding ways in order to make more money off their customers. The scale must be fixed, they weigh with bones in just to cut them out, and accept only cash to also charge tax. Last time I had ordered from here, the butcher was also not wearing gloves when chopping the food. How do we know if his hands were clean or not, or handling other raw food? Have we not learned anything from the past 2 years of the pandemic? Disgusting. Barely ate the food after that.

Can t put higher than 3 stars. I went here in the last days of winter this season. COVID was at a high case rates, they don t have a proper ventilation so they left the door open making the food a bit tasting like a leftover from the previous day, every dishes were cold even the ones sitting on the hot table. (Cash only - no big deal to me) All in all, the food is still even better than healthy foods that most people here claim.

Bad experience as this location does not hold a working card machine. Had to walk over to the convenience store to use their ATM, and the store still charges for tax even when paying in cash. Charging for tax when paying cash is NOT the same as charging tax when paying through card. Food is pricey and I will not be coming back.

One of the best locations for roast pork in Toronto, if not the best - and I have been to MANY locations around the city. The store is consistent with the quality of the food. The skin of the roast pork here is exquisitely crunchy, and also has a sweetness to it. The skin here is never chewy (unless you try the Philippine style pork; I have not tried this at other stores, as this style is generally not to my liking). The meat is never too hard and chewy. You can tell the butcher how much fat you want in your order; they know exactly where to cut to cater to your needs. You can ask for whatever sauces you want, as long as they have it. For instance, I often take my order with plum sauce, rather than soy, and the staff always serve with a smile. I dont often buy bbq duck, but this is also a good place for it; well seasoned and you can trust it to be FULLY cooked. Good prices for their items; most other stores sell for a higher prices for worse quality. Rather small store, which makes it slightly problematic when there is a lineup of more than 4 people. Not a great deal of variety available, but they are all well made. Friendly staff. They will occasionally bring their children in to work the register, and its good to see them training their children in business. You see into their kitchen as you wait and watch them prepare the food, which is a nice touch.
