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.
My husband and I come from Whitby whenever we crave Korean BBQ as this location is bigger and the menu is better than the Scarborough location. We recently visited and our waitress, Ling, ran outside in the cold and chased our car as I had forgotten my bag. She really went above and beyond to get it back to us. What a pain it would have been to realize i forgot my bag when we got home! Thank you to the whole team but especially Ling for her excellent service!
We have eaten at Chako a few times before 2019 and had pretty good memories. Now, however, we were greatly disappointed. The quality of food deteriorated. Most of the meat cuts were basically too thin to prepare and were sticking to the grill. And yes, we tried different temperature settings and different zones - all to no avail. Another disappointment was, that there was a "service fee" of 12% added by default, which I realized only after returning home. So I gave a modest 15% tip, but effectively I gave this tip on top of 12% tip, which resulted in 28.8% unintended tip! Normally this kind of charges are being added for larger groups of 10, 12 or more, and it is clearly and loudly announced at the beginning. There was 2 of us and we were told nothing. All in all we spent way too much money for very mediocre experience.
We chose the classic, everyone in your party has to choose the same option, which gives you 45 food choices to choose from it's an extensive selection such as various seafood, different cuts of meat, chicken, vegetables, various sushi rolls and salmon sashimi. Side dishes like steamed rice, kimchi, pickled radishes, corn. There is a seating limit of 2 hours, a 12% service charge is included in your bill, 15% for parties of 8 or more. Orders came very quickly, everything was fresh. There are cocktails and beers which are separate from the all you can eat menu. At the end of your meal you get a choice of vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice cream...not the best quality but it's free. It was a nice experience eating there.
Not sure why this place has so many good reviews but I’m currently here and the sashimi is cold and STALE. When asked if they could be changed, server said “I don’t know about that… it’s our only one” Meat is poor quality too. Poor cuts and the meat are dry and unseasoned… when cooking, the meat turns GRAY which means it’s really old. For the price you’re paying for, this is what you get? Strict rules over unfinished food (which I totally get) but if the quality is this bad I’m so sorry to say but there’s gonna be a lot of leftover food. Please make your food better. Last time I’ll be coming here. Would recommend Gyubee instead- cheaper and a lot fresher.
Great time at Chako. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Prices were okay. $41.99 for basic and $49.99 for premium. Service was very fast. Overall great experience.
We didn't have a line at the entrance, but we waited a long time, one person was doing everything by himself, we paid more than 120 dollars for two people and chose the premium menu with more than, say, 60 items! !! But it was awful, there was no variety in flavors, the service was very slow and we waited about 10-15 minutes between each service, don’t be fooled, there are much better similar restaurants. We had to scan the menu! For many times!!! What should a person do if he did not have a mobile phone or it was switched off?
I haven't been to Chako in years, and the place is a lot better than I remembered! My friends and I chose the premium menu because it's only $8 more than the regular, and we get more variety. I was surprised they had sushi and sashimi on their menu... even more so after realizing the quality was good! For roughly 5 bucks, I got to have refillable soft drinks as well! I was impressed with the premium ribs and striploin! It's definitely worth the extra $8. The chicken thigh, however... was meh. The staff were attentive and easy to get a hold of, and the restaurant looks way better than I recalled. Parking is terrible in that area... my friend reserved for 7pm on a Thursday evening, and we had to circle around the parking lot and its surrounding area countless times before securing a spot. I'm assuming it's like that every day, so be sure to arrive early to find parking.
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.
Food is ok. Premium meats are pretty good. Takes a while for the food to arrive to make sure you order a ton up front.
The menu can get confusing because of certain rules. We had a waiter for the 2nd time come around and explain how their system works and that really helped. but overall great food and great ambience.
Maybe its the current economic climate but I have had better all you can eat korean bbq. Served us mostly frozen sides and meat was meh for the cost in my opinion not worth it.
Found two hairs in my food.
This place went down hill since 2019. Plus the billing is so misleading. Check your bill!! Whats with the 12% fee if I have to cook my own food? Pretty dead for the weekend
Chako is a great all you can eat bbq with very thoughtful staff, Very efficient service and amazing food! This is my 2nd time here and i can t recommend this place enough. I ll definitely be back again!
Came here on Saturday evening, wasn t that busy but waited for ever to get our food. I think they tried to fill us up on the carbs!! When the meat came, what a disappointment was over marinated and mushy. For the price this is not worth it. 4 adults, 14yr old, 5 yr old and 4 yr old paid >$400!! Plus they ripped us off by a penny. Check the pic total plus service charge should be $409.99 but charged $410. This is down right illegal!!
The whole concept of the Korean grill is fascinating. Chako doesnt disappoint.
The sushi is ok, but not many option and not their strongest, the barbecue options are more and better in quality. The service is good. Just be aware that they charge you the tip on your bill automatically. Food
Not worth the price. Below average food but costs $54 per person? Crazy
We were 8 people ending up paying over $500 for all you can eat before tax and tip!!!! This is getting interesting when you see there is no price in the website, i feel like we have been scammed!!!!
Awesome food here love the beef short ribs!!
Very good AYCE Aidan bbq place
They took out their Tofu from their menu. Yet their website still say they have TOFU on their menu. Tofu has been a staple side dish on their menu for a long time. Why remove it??
One of my favourite places to go, open late and very accommodating
Their food is a bit salty which I believe is intentional in all-you-can-eat restaurants. If the food was less salty, it would be a 5 star. Good experience so far been here twice. Food
Love the boneless ribs and great service as always!
It was great, especially the Sago and the barbeque
Chako is a great spot for Korean bbq. It s a big chain, so the service and atmosphere are nothing to rave about. The meat selections are always fresh and perfectly cut. I love the sushi roll options and other apps. A bonus is the ice cream for dessert can be taken to go!
Went with family for birthday dinner and staff + food were great! Recommend the premium menu, as you get more.
Had the best experience with Lambert, he is very welcoming and nice. However some of the staff are rude. But Lambert is great. Thank you
We came in with people who were not able to sit in booths. We requested a table with chairs. We were met with immiditate refusal. Stating that the tables with chairs are for 8 people only. While we viewed 4 people sitting and eating on one of those tables.
Nice place, nice establishment, quick staff, reasonably prices Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options. Parking: Depending on time of arrival it will be difficult to find parking since this establishment shares parking space with a bunch of different restaurants.
The ambiance was good. Very nice servers. unfortunately the meats( lamb & beef) didn t have a good quality and I had to keep chewing.
Amazing food and service!
I was there tonight with my special guest and I had a terrible experience in there I ve ordered a salt shaker for 6 times But non of them works and at the end of my dinner they gave me a different salt shaker which had bigger holes but that was too late for me because I have already finished my dinner. I talked to the manager Mr.lambert and he just apologized to me!!!!!!!!!! This is unbelievable and so disrespectful. Will never come back!
Had a great dinner experience, food and the meat were tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Had a great time! Will be back soon
What a nice and polite server Lambert Thank you for amazing night you made us . We celebrate my son 18th birthday. I wish there was 6 star for service Food : 5/5 |
The food quality is great, friendly staff, always smiling especially our server Lambert, great personality , very welcoming, thank you all
Absolutely not recommend
After ordering you have to wait 10 min for each order Sometimes you never receive your order Premium menu 50$ without any special good Simple lamb and fishes For 2 person 140$
Amazing service and good!!
Sooo good
Food is bussin . Place doesn t miss
Everything was perfect!
Amazing service and the drinks are fantastic
It is an interesting experience, worth visiting at least once.
It may have a better atmosphere than Gyubee. But, the food is much better at Gyubee!
Absolutely love this place! I go here everytime to bring family and friends and everyone enjoys the food and staff 10/10 recommend chako Richmond hill location!
Can never go wrong with Chako! One of my favourite places for a date night and the service at this particular location is top notch!
Food was super fresh, servers nice and attentive!!
Best food and service like always. We had the premium menu on Sunday ($49.99)and the quality of the meats was impressive. Food
Great service, Price is about 40 per person on weekdays. Foods is great. I just hope they could add more veggies and sides to go along with meat. Also, cut the mushrooms...
Very nice atmosphere and menu the service was wonderful and it made me want to come back for mlre Vegetarian options: They had logs of good salads and vegetables
Food was great, however, not happy with the service. We received separate bills for a party of 3 people total and we were handed the POS machine without our bills. On top of that, this was done very quickly and we were not informed that 12% gratuity was already included for a party of 3? I ended up tipping on top of the included gratuity charge. I don t appreciate the lack of communication and bad service. Please going forward inform every group that gratuity is included. I won t be coming back, lol.
Loved it here! The waiters were very kind and the kimchi at Chako is amazing!
Premium menu very worth if you re a big eater recommended.
I wanted to share some positive feedback about Lambert who was our server. The service was excellent, with prompt and friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting, and the food was delicious, especially the dessert! Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience
Best BBQ in town!! And Sushi is very flesh!
The best KBBQ in Richmond Hill!
Great service! Highly recommend.
We met with Lambert who was very welcoming and gave us very good service. I am glad the manager sent him this location to change the customer service that was declining. Special thanks to Lambert keep the good work.

Amazing food and service !
We went on Sunday Evening. The food was great. I cant say enough about our server. His name was Lambert. He was really professional as well as friendly. I would definitely go back. Food
Lambert was an excellent server! And the food was great.
I really like this Korean BBQ spot I go to regularly, mainly because their barbecue is delicious. They offer a wide variety of tasty meats that I enjoy. But, there are a couple of things that could make it even better. First, theres a bit of a language issue. The staff doesnt speak English very well, so sometimes theres confusion with orders. Theyve brought us things we didnt ask for a few times. It would be great if they could improve communication. The other thing is the kimchi. Im a big fan of kimchi, but theirs doesnt quite hit the mark. Its not as spicy and flavorful as Id like it to be, so its not my favorite part of the meal. you should definitely try their ribs and short ribs. Those are my absolute favorites and are worth a visit on their own. Despite these issues, I keep coming back because the barbecue is so good. If they could fix these small problems, it would be a perfect spot for Korean BBQ enthusiasts like me. The last time we went there, Lamber was an excellent server, providing attentive service and helpful recommendations throughout our dining experience. Thanks to him, he made our Sunday
we ate a lot
Lambert was amazing. He served us with a great smile and an even greater attitude. Food was amazing and the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxing. Definitely coming back!
Amazing food quality. Fast service. Fair price.

Great experience every time!
The service and atmosphere was excellent. Some of the food could have been a bit more flavourful. I also found even with the premimum menu the options were limiting especially considering the cost.
Amazing service!
This place is god damn unbelievable Parking: Lots of spots Food : 5/5 |
Delicious food. Highly recommended if you love barbecue, lots of choices for everyone.
Lambert was great!
Bang for your buck meat! Nice staff and good vibes. Nice atmosphere to hang out and eat with your friends.
Amazing service. Great food. Great staff. I totally recommend this place!
Excellent service. Very tentative and friendly. Meat can be served in thicker slices. Parking: Large amount of parking but share parking with multiple restaurants.
My bf and I had the pleasure of being served by Lambert tonight. He is by far the sweetest waiter I ve had. We were at the Richmond hill location. I ve always had a great experience at Chakos, one of my top fav restaurants and I ve been coming here for years. His service was impeccable. He was super friendly and always had a smile on his face. Amazing person!

The food is so good and I love the atmosphere!
they give free drinks if you put 5 stars.
Great service
I came to Chako and had a good time
They had Miso soup in the all you can eat menu as well as a few other things that you don t have to cook yourself. Also the meat is well seasoned and marinated to make for a delicious meal with a slight kick of flavour that makes you want to eat more.
Fast and friendly service
nice good with reasonable price
The environment is good, the service attitude is very good, the food is fresh, and parking is convenient
Everything was perfect! ( For those who dont know, you cook your own food ) Super fun experience and grows your bond by doing adventurous stuff together with your loved ones or friends! A little pricey, but totally worth it!
Nice
The waiters are relly welcoming. The interior is the best! The cleanesr chako i ve been Parking: A lot of parking lot
Rip off and over charged..
The food is really good. The service is nice but there is one waitress that is not professional at all, she did not allow us to buy (pay extra) and take out our own leftovers and proceeded to tell us order less next time, and constantly telling us to hurry up even though it wasn t even close to closing time. I would go back again for the great food but this lady makes the experience much less enjoyable.
went there tonight for my birthday dinner with friends (had reservation) and have to say the service was terrible and was the lady at front was completely a mess and unorganized and almost seemed panicked lol and 57$ for regular menu with only water to drink, plus automatic 12% gratitude applied too every bill. no thanks.
Chako has been my familys go to for special events! Good food, good vibes
Over 45 items for Weekend price of $40.99 AYCE dinner BBQ. Two of our Senior get 10% off. I love the fresh Sushi&Sushi Rolls and Korean appetizers make the dinner even tastier.
