Follow @bredgyeats for more food! The most satisfying part of eating skewers is seeing the container fill up with empty skewers, a display of my gluttonous achievements. Each protein is dusted with a salivating spice mix that incorporates numbing, spicy, fragrance and a touch of sweetness. You can taste the rainbow of lamb, pork and beef, along with a variety of equally indulgent side dishes. Definitely don't skip on the pig intestines, as each bite bursts with a juicy amount of fat and is stuffed with green onions for a crisp contrast in textures. Not too adventurous? Then the beef tendons and garlic vermicelli scallops were also memorable for their soft, gelatinous texture and sweetness respectively.

We mostly just ordered their stir-fry, pretty decent, with lots of food per plate and we just couldn't finish them. So, be mindful of that when you place your orders, especially given that each plate costs $22+ typically. The house draft beer, I'd say, is a little disappointing, tasting a little pale and I am not how fresh it is either. Definitely need to improve that as the settings are pretty good for friends to gather, drink and talk. Bathroom can be cleaner.

Chengdu style BBQ restaurant with a bright red interior decor. We came here for lunch on the weekend, there is free parking. Note that they ask you for a 5 star Google review in exchange for free chicken skin skewers. Menu and ordering is thru the QR code. We got the fried lotus root (like chips), sizzling tofu, Orleans chicken wings, chicken skin, shrimp skewers, pork rib skewers, frog leg skewers, and stir fried noodles. My only complaint is that the shrimp were not cleaned. In general, the food is oily/heavy and flavourful. There are complimentary pickles and peanuts. Be careful because some of the options can be spicy! You can specify spice when you order Prices are reasonable. There was only one washroom available when I went Service is quick.

This is a very good restaurant. When you enter, it feels like you are eating in one of the restaurants in China. Their lamb skewers are good, and spicy beef with bean sprout in pot is also very delicious. I bit on the pricier side but I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The restaurant installed many neon lights. It was very bright and attractive especially in the dark winter. I sat on a table with benches. One side has no back support so it wasn't very comfortable. We scanned a QR code and ordered food on our phone. The skewers were freshly grilled and they were very hot. However, they used the same spiecs for beef, chicken and lamb so they tasted pretty much same. They were quite salty too and we needed white rice to go with them. The thin slice pork with garlic was very good. The stir fried cabbage was soaked in oil. The deep fried milk was not good. It was nice to give it a try it but I might not come back.

The atmosphere in the store is very good and the waiters are also excellent. The skewers are very tasty and the belly is very soft. The squid scratches and mutton skewers are excellent. The bag is just like fried pancakes, so I dont eat much. Is the bag that I packed is the one sold at Costco? The taste is average. I recommend everyone to eat skewers.

Very delicious dishes and barbecue, especially Sichuan cuisine. It tastes better than picking up a pair of chopsticks, and the portion is substantial. The beef pot with stilts is twice the price of Yang Sanniang, but has four times the quantity.

I have been coming to Zao Men Kan for skewers for the past few years. Ever since I found this place, I couldn t go anywhere for skewers! Unlike other places which they marinate most of their skewers in the same flavor, ZMK uses different spices for each! The chicken skin and the beef chest fat are my favorite skewers and are my must order each time I go!

The venue is a very comfortable width, the seating distance is just right, and the high roof makes the visual effect more comfortable. Sweet and savory barbecue flavor, except for the lack of vegetables, there are many other choices.

Great service, good solid taste. Alot of exotic foods, such as lamb testicles, and cow penises. Not for everyone, but the general Chinese style BBQ you can count on. (Regular Lamb skewers are my favorite) Majority of food is spicy or heavily spiced with that 5 spice. Goes great with beer.

I ordered Kung Pao Chicken. To be honest, it is not easy to make Kung Pao Chicken so delicious. First, the peanuts were not fried at all, they were still half-raw, soft and slightly bitter, and extremely unpalatable when paired with vegetables. The second point is that the preparation of kung pao juice is not as good as that of an amateur. When the dish is served, you can smell the aroma of vinegar, but you cant taste the slightest bit of sourness or sweetness. I can only taste the smell of white pepper and cooking wine when marinating the meat. If you don t know how to prepare Kung Pao juice, I ll teach you how to remember it, 1234, one spoonful of dark soy sauce, two spoons of light soy sauce, three spoons of vinegar, and four spoons of sugar. If you want something sour, just add more vinegar.

It was good when they first opened. Been noticing that this place is not always the cleanest, the tables are usually sticky and the bathroom is pretty dirty. Went there last month with a friend and we both got food poisoning the next morning (it s the only thing we ate in common that day). It was bad enough that we couldn t eat/get out of bed for the next few days. Never coming back again.

None of us will ever return or recommend this restaurant. Food DID NOT taste good at all. Service was really really really slow. The place wasn t even full and it them more then 30 minutes to start putting some food on our table. We were hungry and still we complained the food didn t taste good. Lamb skewers was only ordered once and never again Spicy fish bowl lacked flavour.. it was just oily without flavour Chilli oil chicken looked ok.. but didn t taste like it should.. also no flavour We ordered a whole bunch of other stuffs but same story.. no flavour Waste of money and waste of time. We asked if they provide a cash discount, they said yes but then they also made us add WeChat or else they wouldn t give the cash discount. Bill was only $200 divided by 4 ppl.. pretty cheap.. but i guess its because we didn t want to order anything else from them. We didn t even finish the food. Waste of money and waste of time. We went somewhere else for food right after Horrible experience Wheelchair accessibility: Good luck getting through the door in a wheelchair with all the empty beer boxes creating a fire hazard.

It s so expensive and tastes terrible. Don t come here. You won t be full after spending more than 100 yuan. It s a stupid restaurant. I really don t know what to say. The ingredients are so stale that I still get a stomachache after eating them.

By far the best Sichuan cuisine you could find in Toronto. Boiled Fish has a strong delightful fragrance which is pretty drool-worthy . A wide range of specialties and meat skewers that take time to choose. Also the waiters are super friendly, providing with thoughtful service. Highly recommended.

April 22, 2024

The most unpalatable kebab meal I have ever had in my life... The barbecue sticks to the top and bottom of the bamboo skewer and cannot be removed. The meat is old, hard, dark and mushy. The kebab is extremely oily and tastes bad. It tastes like There isnt much salt in it, and the chicken feet are baked so hard that its hard to bite off. All in all, it s expensive and tastes bad, and it s a scam to your stomach and money.

Everything is okay. Not bad, but not one of the best place and food compare to the others. I give 3 stars only because I personally dont like how they marinated all the skewers. They all have the same mix portion, which have too much of one of the herbs (rosemary? Maybe?). It is not a few drops, but enough to stick and cover you lips. The restaurant uses some benches on one side of the tables. Just a reminder, someone in the group wont be able to lean their back on a chair for the whole time.
