Really delicious food with large portions! Great atmosphere, good service, very nice people. Highly recommend!
Very authentic human cuisine!!! Highly recommended!
Came here with a bunch of friends ordered their 14 course and tried so many different things! They had a special going on we definitely loved their skewers and their scallops! Also the fried rice was so tasty I’ll definitely be coming back
This place has pretty nice vibes - with a lot of camping and retro decor. Staff were very nice and friendly. They have a 4-person combo deal right now at about $80 - 40% off its original price. It's a full course meal with appetizers, skewers, mains and desserts. Some highlights include: - Lamb & Beef Skewers - Fishballs & Rice Cakes - Garlic Eggplant - Enoki Mushroom - Cabbage & Sweet Potato - Beef Cattle Ligament & Bean Curd - Chicken Feet with Pickle Peppers - Fried Rice - Sweet Red Bean Soup Portion size is pretty generous - we were all stuffed!
We two arrived at 11:30 at night and the restaurant is still open till 3:00. It is so convenient for night owls. Food is authentic and made us feel like eat in China. We ordered lamb kebab which is delicious. Korean cold noodles tastes good. Service is fast and great. Will definitely come back again.
I recently dined at Hype BBQ in Scarborough, and I must say, it was one of the most frustrating dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, things started going downhill. The service was incredibly slow; it took ages for our order to be taken and even longer for the food to arrive. To add insult to injury, the prices were outrageous. I was shocked to see that they charged $5 for a single stick of chives. Yes, you read that right—a single stick! Considering you can buy a whole bunch of chives for less than $2 at the grocery store, this felt like highway robbery. We waited and waited, and when the food finally started to trickle out of the kitchen, it was so slow that our appetites began to wane. We had to cancel a few dishes because the wait was just unbearable. It's a real shame because the food itself wasn’t terrible, but the poor service and ridiculous pricing completely overshadowed any potential enjoyment. On a more positive note, the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. If you’re looking for a place with nice décor and you’re not in any hurry to eat, then Hype BBQ might suit you. However, if you value your time, money, and overall dining experience, I’d recommend steering clear of this place. There are plenty of other restaurants in Scarborough that offer better service and value for your money. Hype BBQ, unfortunately, does not live up to the hype.
Small cute place. Camping theme. Service was slowish as others mentioned but not overly. Food was hot and cooked well. I have a few issues. 1) all items are spiced with the exact same spice. Lamb, pork belly, cabbage. Doesn't matter. All the same. 2) they had no forks for someone who couldn't use chopsticks due to arthritis 3) we had ordered a soup but received no spoons or small bowls to share it or eat it. Most distrubing of all 4) while we were eating, two kitchen staff came out with a bucket of raw meat, sat at the table next to us and proceeded to make skewers in the dining room. When I say next to us, I mean we literally turned to the guy and asked for our bill. He got it, never taking his glove off that was in the raw meat and just sat back down and started skewering the meat again. I will not be returning.
Excellent food, service, and ambience! Our server Lilly was attentive, warm, and helpful; we will definitely return!
Very authentic Hunan cuisine, stir-fried yellow beef, stir-fried bacon with radish, and hand-shredded cabbage.
Very good! The food tastes very good, spicy and sweet!
The dishes havent been served for an hour...
The best Hunan food in Toronto! The stir-fried bacon made me want to go back to China in a second. Not a single one was too bad. Recommended
Why must we have known each other before when we met in Xiang? great food, excellent service
Best Hunan restaurant
Fast served, authentic Hunan dishes.
The taste is first-rate, the dishes are excellent, the ingredients are handled very cleanly and there are few side dishes, the main dishes are generous, the boss is very handsome, like Wang Yibo
the food there is delicious, ate the whole table of food , will try new dishes next time
Food
Great bbq place.
Nice vibe, camping theme and moosehead beer, With bbq skewers. Fun!
The roasting was perfect and the chili peppers were enough. Recommended!
Really delicious food
Good bbq restaurant, price is not that expensive.
I have eaten here a few times and the food is excellent, especially the beef and lamb scewers. The service is excellent as well. I will be going back again soon.
The mutton skewers are very tender and not sour! The only delicious food in Toronto! They are all purely charcoal grilled. Although it is a bit slow, it is more fragrant than fried. The service is super good, far exceeding the level of Chinese food service! My favorite barbecue restaurant. Recommended!
tasty
Food was average but we were the only table and were sitting for over 30 minutes waiting for our food to come said the food is already being made and asked us to wait but then when we kept asking to cancel the waitress told the kitchen to not start making it. Not an honest or practical business.
After waiting for 45 minutes for the pot buns, the boss repeatedly explained hello because it would take some time to change the oil. Finally, he gave me tofu soup, which was pretty good. Although I had to wait for so long to buy it out, the food was not cold yet, so I was satisfied.
Went to eat with my classmates. It was very delicious and highly recommended!
Food size and quality are not as good as what pictures show. Not recommended.
A must-have barbecue! Grilled mutton skewers, grilled chicken feet, and grilled chicken rack are highly recommended
It s so delicious. I m in love with it It tastes so fragrant
The food is delicious, the service from the lady at the front desk is good, and the environment is very artistic. I will come again next time!
Really good bbq
This is one of the best BBQ restaurants Ive ever eaten! The service is good and they are very kind. The food is great and delicious and it feels like youre in a BBQ buffet. And last of all, is the atmosphere, I like the good decorations, its classic and the restrooms look pretty clean. Overall Ill give this a 5 stars or 10/10. Its great.
The taste is good, the environment is very good, and the service is also very good
Great food. I would love to come back again
Cute food plates
I like barbecue very much, it s delicious and tastes good
very nice place. Good price and very delicious
Great bbq and good service
A treasure restaurant found by accident! The camping atmosphere is perfect and the food is very delicious. Recommend the Guobao Pork and various skewers, which are delicious and plentiful!
Good experience and tasty bbq. Will definitely come back!
Very attentive service
Great customer service. Traditional DongBei style bbq in a cozy place. Fried pork in scoop is a highly recommended dish, very strong charcoal grill flavor with decent seasoning. Highly recommended real charcoal grill. Its hard to find this kind of real charcoal grill place nowadays in GTA since most restaurant do the bbq fried before grill as it is easy to maintain for a longer time, despite the quality and taste would extremely disgusting. Vegetarian options: grilled mushroom and vegies Parking: shared parking with other restaurants
The skewers and pot-roasted pork are both delicious, and the service attitude is also very good :)
It tastes good, but the food is served very slowly. The cold noodles and grilled eggplant are highly recommended, they taste particularly delicious! ! The mutton kebabs are also pretty good, just a bit salty, and go well with rice. The Guobao Pork tastes good too. Whats surprising...the grilled sausage is a Filipino sweet sausage. It becomes even sweeter after grilling. Its a bit too sweet to bear. The grilled corn is really different, the fruity sweet corn wrapped in a ring of chili powder and salt is too unpalatable.
It feels like the neck of the chicken on the grill is undercooked
We went for dinner on Sunday night and food especially the bbq skewers was really good. Service was excellent even though they don t speak much English and you do need to order through your phone.
Excellent food, service, and ambience! Our server Lilly was attentive, warm, and helpful; we will definitely return!
The lamb and beef skewers are perfect!
Great food and service.
The food taste really good, and the waitress is really nice
Everything is delicious
Lightning protection, rubbish restaurant, when there is no one else dining in, it takes 40 minutes to serve one dish, and 25 minutes for the remaining two dishes.
Disappointing Service and Average Food Quality My recent visit to Hype BBQ left much to be desired. Despite placing our order promptly at 8 pm, we waited for 40 minutes to receive only four out of the ten dishes we ordered. Even more frustrating was the fact that the remaining six dishes were never served. The lack of attention to our order and the failure to deliver all items was disappointing. While the taste of the food was average, the service left much to be desired. On a positive note, one of the staff members, a lady, provided good service. However, the overall experience was marred by the incomplete order and the long wait time. I hope the restaurant can improve its service and ensure that all customers receive their full orders in a timely manner.
The store space and parking spaces are not too big. But it tastes good and not too salty.
Went couple weeks ago for dinner. Only one server - Chinese lady who doesn t speak a word of English and is not good at customer service. Undesirable attitude. Hire people that speak English in an English speaking country. No hot tea, only one little kettle to boil hot water , moving it from table to table, only one type of beer. Skewers were the smallest portions I ve ever seen or eaten. No cumin flavour . Scallops were not fresh tasting , All food portions minimal and no flavour. No generous hands here. Price is not worth it. Overall , did not have a good experience and will not be returning or recommending to others. On to the next.
Yum
Good lamb to scratch the BBQ itch
The ambience of the restaurant is really good. It s camping themed, and the skewers are grilled with charcoal. The waitress was really friendly. I had a great dinner here:) 100% would recommend
Good service!
Best BBQ Ive tried. Super friendly owners and service was amazing Food
good
The service attitude is pretty good, but the serving speed is too slow. We only ordered kebabs, and several mutton kebabs were served in more than an hour. Not recommended until the cooking skills are improved.
great food and services, love the atmosphere
tasty
Delicious! Great place for a late night snack!
Poor service: The waitress is unwilling to refill water, and the food is excessively salty. Some friends experienced stomach pain after dinner. Highly not recommended.
The service is very friendly and the food is delicious. The Chinese barbecue is very traditional.
Great place! Good food! Nice environment
Great skewer place, and friendly service!
The charcoal grilled skewers are quite delicious. 8 knives and 5 skewers are economical and affordable
If you like Northeastern barbecue, you can come here. The taste is very good and the service aunt is even better.
really tasty!
Nice service! Good place for late night bbq
Overall 3 stars, plus extra 1 star for the effort. The food was great, but a few major downsides. - Friendly employees, hugely understaffed. We waited roughly 70mins for the second order of our food. 10mins to be able to flag someone for our bill. - If it s cold out, we may want to visit on warmer days. It was freezing. I ve never eaten at a restaurant with my down jacket on. I will definitely try this place again. My hope is they would make some minor improvements.
It tastes too bad. The food is served slowly and the food tastes terrible. Don t open a store of this level.
It s super delicious. I recommend everyone to come when you have time.
The food and service in the restaurants are very good. Very wow.
good environment and excellent food
The boss s service attitude is very good and the things are good too
Very delicious. I eat here often. I love the chicken rack.
Good thing I discovered here.

Super yummy Chinese Bbq, every dish is delicious! Super yummy Chinese Bbq, every dish is delicious! Skewers, salads, and fried rice are all delicious. The service is also very good, and it was very fast last time!
Arrived at 10pm and the food tasted far beyond my imagination! Highly recommend the mutton and beef skewers, fried rice, pot-wrapped pork, salad with shredded potatoes and mixed beef tendons!
A very delicious barbecue restaurant, all kinds of barbecue and stir-fry dishes are delicious!
So delicious! From cold dishes, grilled skewers, to fried rice, everything is delicious The boss is super nice.
The food is very delicious. Treasure shop
It tastes great and the egg fried rice is amazing. A great place for a late night snack after skiing.
Delicious food, open late until 2am.
tasty! recommend!
tastes good
Highly recommended Toronto barbecue restaurant, very delicious
The barbecue is delicious, there are many activities to participate in, and many gifts are given away!
The long night has another mediocre but delicious late night snack
It said it was open until four oclock, so I drove over here, but it wasnt open
very delicious
Still delicious! The taste is very authentic. I hope the business will become more and more prosperous!
The barbecue is very delicious, and the cold jellyfish and preserved egg tofu are highly recommended. It is super refreshing to eat in summer. The shopkeepers, brothers and sisters are very nice and worth a visit!
What a wonderful business transformation! The bbq is so delicious and has no different with precious restaurant. The taste is so good and the waitress are friendly. I highly recommended this new owner Chinese bbq restaurant
Good skewer place inheriting the spirit of the original store.
This lamb kebab is so tender. The only drawback is that the food is not hot. This may be due to the cafes policy that customers will have to pay if they eat something that burns their mouths. , overall the dishes I ordered are good, the portions are a bit too small, and the prices have skyrocketed
tasty

The food is fresh and tastes great. The staff is very nice. Thumbs up! !
good
Great spot for food after a long day of work.
Very good bbq place!
These pig ears may be dried, but the teeth of a man in his thirties cannot bite them! Ordered lamb loin and had to wait forty minutes! (There are two tables in the store, with seven people)
Zero customer service. Waited 40 minutes for 4 skewers and it was TAKE OUT. Empty restaurant with no phone orders coming in during my visit so they weren t busy at all. Maybe if you were Mandarin they ll provide you with service. Skewers were average. You re better off eating at the skewers restaurant beside it.
Below average skewers that are half the size of other BBQ places. No customer service. I waited 10 minutes before they gave me a seat and received water. Food takes forever to come and they aren t busy (only one table was seated and the rest of the restaurant was empty). Go next door for skewers instead.
The mutton skewers and barbecue are so delicious. It s rare to find a restaurant with this kind of flavor. The boss is also super enthusiastic.
The kebabs taste great! Enjoy your meal! What impressed me most was the beef skewers, beef tendon skewers and cold noodles! recommend!
Authentic Northeastern barbecue, delicious!
delicious delicious
It s really delicious! Rush!
Beef and mutton skewers are delicious
Yes, the scallops are super big and taste really good, awesome!
One of the best bbq in Toronto. Fair price.
Excellent food and skewers! Fast service!
Small portions, not so tasty, and expensive never again
Maybe it was bad luck. Today the store said the fire was not strong enough and many skewers were undercooked. The seasoning was pretty good. The young lady kept saying she was sorry, but she didnt bring a kettle, wipes for mouth wiping, or a bucket for bamboo sticks when she came in. All in all, neither the food nor the service felt worthwhile. I hope I just had bad luck today.
The pigs trotters are pretty good. The charcoal grilled ones are quite fragrant. The service attitude is very good and enthusiastic. The skewers are a bit heavy on the taste. You can ask the chef to add less salt. All in all, its good.
Enjoyed the food here, a bit of a long wait as it takes time to bbq the skewers but the flavor was on point and the food tasted fresh.
It tastes great and the people are very nice
Eggplant is not good. Fried rice is too slow to serve. I don t recommend it.
Terrible customer service. Ordered through Uber eats for pickup and the food was never made. Went to the store an hour after the order was placed and the woman didn t care to explain. She was too busy talking to 2 Chinese customers. The place had no other customers at this time. Uber tried to call the restaurant but they never picked up. What a joke of a restaurant. If you don t speak Chinese don t bother going here.
We all went there very late. The atmosphere was good and the taste was ok. It tasted like a domestic barbecue and the meat and ingredients were OK. The cold noodles are good, and so is the pimple soup. Are you considering getting a discount membership card?
Food was okay, what threw me off was all the seed/seasoning they put on everything had to shake off the extra. Plastic cutlery was dirty.. Service was eh . ChatBar is better
Last time we went at around 10pm, most of the dishes looked like reheated by microwave. Theres no steam but its hot when we ate it. Grill okra, its like boiled then add some BBQ seasoning on it Honestly, not recommended. Food
Ordered on UberEasts, price is okay but food was terrible. ALL meats taste sour and spoiled. Probably that s the reason why the merchant offers Buy One get One Free.
Lightning protection, lightning protection! It s not the old Pakka Hall! After changing the name, the food tasted terrible. The skewers I ordered were all heated in oil pans and microwaves. I asked to cancel the order that had not yet been placed, but found that it was added secretly during the checkout. It was really rubbish.
I come to this store every week ~ It s so awesome. Recommended!
Very delicious! The barbecue tastes very authentic!
Potato chips are delicious
The meat is delicious. The pork trotters are delicious.
Super nice waitress! Delicious skewers and chill environment~
The aunty is really nice
Amazing foods, friendly staff
Very delicious. I am from the Northeast. This is the most authentic Northeastern barbecue in Toronto!
Good food and good service. I like the chicken skin bbq
I ordered Uber takeout, but it said buy one get one free on skewers, and the chicken wings were all undercooked (the spicy and sweet ones were undercooked). I tried to call to report that no one answered.
really good
very good place
The meat is grilled very tender and the serving pace is very good. They dont all come out at once and the table is never empty. I ordered more than a dozen kinds, and none of them were unsatisfactory. It was very good.
The lady here is so sweet. Awesome environment! Food
Excellent Service , taste so good
Food is very taste and the service is excellent. The decoration is very cozy.
Very BBQ & Very Good Service.
Tastes way below average.. I came here because my favourite skewer place street grill was packed. I regret giving this place a shot tbh~ Most of the dishes are really bland or uncooked and the flavour was weird. Spend your money elsewhere. Food
