| - This second location opened up after the Markham one has been opened for a period of time.
No reservations on a weekend - you have to line up. Needless to say, took us about 40 mins before we got our table.
I haven't been to the Markham branch to compare the two, but I really enjoyed my experience at this location. It's newly opened, and the building is under renovation right now since it's relatively old. Right next to UTS, I can see this location becoming busy with a lot of younger customers.
There's a lot of different selections for the AYCE menu. NOrmal price on a weekend is 32.99 but grand opening therefore they lowered prices to 29.99. I feel that i would come here on a special occasion, but it won't be my regular joint (or else i need bigger pants lol). I tried almost all of their "meats" on the menu, as well as some of the sides:
Sides:
Edemame, your typical order, nothing special.
They ran out of cabbage salad, so they served house salad instead, with the sauce, pretty good.
Bibambap - i love this option, great pairing with the meats, and it comes with the kimchi and a fried egg!
Drink:
i ordered the lychee mojito and it was quite delicious!
Beef:
My first most favourite... Miso Beef Brisket. I think i ordered this dish like 4 times. Their sauce is ADDICTIVE. I don't know what's in it, but after trying it the first time, that's all I wanted to keep getting... the miso sauce does the trick - they have regular beef brisket too, which is just as good in terms of the cut of beef.. but in the end i dipped all my regular beef brisket into the miso sauce that's leftover :)
House marinated kalbi short rib is my 2nd favourte. LOVE the flavours. I kept ordering this too :)
The rest of them..... beef tongue, black pepper kalbi and the kalbi bonless short rib.. they were all very nicely marinated and flavoured, so in general I would say start off with trying all 6 of them and then decide which ones you want to keep eating :)
Pork:
Both pork belly and pork cheek were delicious! the seasoning isn't as bold but the textures of both were great! I re-ordered these as well.
chicken thigh - with the 2 hour seating limit, we felt limited to order this... but the seasoning is great on the chicken and we did end up ordering it twice, but it does take longer to cook.
shrimp - your usual grilled shrimp - nothing special. I dind't try the squid since rest of my table didn't want to eat it lol.
Veg:
zucchini - great for grilling and taking a break from the meats
mushrooms - they have enoki and king oyster. both were great, but the added bonus of the enoki is it comes in a foil pouch with some freshly grated garlic and butter... and the result is heavenly :) we ended up ordering 4 more of these pouches!
Dessert:
creme brulee - bite sized, and it's AYCE so you can have as many as you want... but for a bite size dessert, this creme brulee is quite flavourful and creamy... I did have more than one :)
Melona - it's only 1 per customer... and you get to choose between melon and strawberry. I did not like the strawberry lol... but I loved the melon one :)
All in all i felt the meat was quite well prepared, seasoned, and marinated. The staff did change our grills often when the fire start flaring up from the oils stuck on the grate. They ddin't rush us at the 2 hours, so all in all I feel i had a positive experience. At this price point.. it would be like any other AYCE place.. i would come here for a special occasion, but otherwise I don't think I will eat my money's worth, unless I grow into bigger pants :)
(FYI because they just opened 2 weeks ago, they don't have credit payment yet... only cash and debit, but they are working on getting credit card payment available soon)
