| - BEST BBQ PORK EVER
I stumbled upon this very unassuming place about 15 years ago when I worked near by. At the time a good portion of 'cha su' and streamed rice was a 5er$.
FFWD to 2007 and my new BF (still my BF) lives not far at 7 & Yonge. Ya! Lost and found. I'm a kid of immigrant retauranteurs and we would go every Sunday downtown for 'real' Chinese food when I was a kid.
I only get the cha su, not into duck and just haven't tried the crunchy skin pork that looks juicy and amazing.
Here are the facts:
What its NOT:
no atmosphere, not a 'nice' place to stay and eat
absolutely NO FRILLS
despite the sign (I laugh every time) it is NOT FAST, they have ONE speed,(never gets further than first gear)
one person cutting the meat and I know that will never change
service is not all smiley, basic to the point but not rude
be prepared to wait in line, bring a novel, lol
What it IS
best Chinese bbq I've ever had in my life
they've been around a LONG time, which tells you there's a reason and the long line ups of my other Asian kin is also very telling (we are a very picky sort;)
I wish I wish they had a veg I could have to with my rice n pork - maybe one day
I usually get 2 lbs and 1 lb is gone a couple hours when it gets in the door between the 2 of us. it's fresh and delicious.
I don't care about the price (which, according to my frugal mom is so expensive!) haha
Just go get the food, take it home, be patient in line.
Boy, I love this place!
PS I tried the wings - pass on those, kinda dry lack flavour
