| - Wok in bbq is tucked away in a plaza on the north east side of Weston and Rutherford just past the 400. To be a bit more exact, Wok in bbq even within this plaza is located deep inside and on the corner of a plaza and can be easily missed unless you know what your looking for. My other half and I happened to be in the area, and wanted to grab a take out for dinner later on and found this place through yelp.
Upon entering, we were pleasantly greeted by the owner in a few different languages as she was I assume trying to figure out if we spoke Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese or just plain English. Once we got past this, the pleasant conversation continued as she was very very friendly and accommodating. We ordered a combo of cha siu with roast pork. She packed the take out container with rice, and a lot of veggies (broccoli and cabbage). She then proceeded to top this mountain off with the cha siu and roast pork. We were admittedly a bit disappointed at the fact that she went to the back into the kitchen to get the meat, then came out to chop it up. Usually in restaurants like this, you expect to see all the meat hanging there in all its glory and to be chopped "fresh". But with out seeing the meat, your not sure if it was pre made and may have been sitting there. A small thing, but still a thing. This was on a Saturday afternoon around 2 PM. Maybe they sold out at lunch? But then that would mean they had nothing left for the dinner rush, but we were still a bit surprised that it looked pretty bare when we went in.
The food itself was ok as well. Definitely better then anything you could get at an Asian super market such as T&T, but I wouldnt rank this place as one of the best Asian BBQ places I have tried in the GTA. The cha siu was a bit dry and underwhelming, and was lacking the little charred bits on the outside I have come to expect. The roast pork was also cut up fine, but not as well as other places I have tried. The other establishment I have in mind, when ordering roast pork the person chopping the meat tends to pre cut out the fat, by removing the skin/fat from the meat, then removing the fat and placing the skin back on top. Not necessary, but definitely a nice touch, which this place did not do. Again, not a big thing, but still a thing to note why I cant rank this as one of the best places I have ever tried in the GTA. I would rank this place as a pretty solid 3 out of 5, but the lady behind the counter is again super duper friendly. And did not seem stingy at all with the quantity. So what this place lacks in taste and quality, more then makes up for in personality and quantity.
If I am in the area, and had a real hankering for Asian BBQ I wouldnt mind coming here. But I would hesitate to go out of my way to come here, or recommend any to go out of their way to come here to eat.
