久香驴肉火烧-肉食店(北约克) Donkey King (North York) — Restaurant in Toronto

I'm not really sure what to make of Donkey King. This is a popular spot in the Yonge and Finch area that is really the only place you can get this kind of food. We tried it out since we saw a lot of food traffic while waiting for our drinks next door. Since we were not the most comfortable getting their signature dishes, we opted for the lamb skewers instead. These were NOT cheap, despite the no frills interior and limited staff. I believe it was $7 for 2 pieces, which is comparable to the per piece price you'd find at more upscale places. I will say the man working there was kind and helpful despite our Chinese not being the best. If you don't speak Chinese, you may have a hard time ordering.

There is seating inside but I really cannot imagine anyone sitting there and dining. The tables and chairs do not look the comfiest or cleanest, and the air inside is quite stuffy with the scent and oil from cooking. I would only do take away here.

Overall the lamb skewers we ordered were good, but the price did not match the low-budget and dirty interior...

Aug 6/2023---For someone who has had authentic donkey Burger In Beijing, china countless of times where I lived as a foreigner for 5 years. This is pretty damn close to the real thing. It is extremely delicious. The spicy one will be better than the non spicy one for sure.

As foreigners who have never tried different meat your stomache might not like it at first but after a few tries your stomache gets used to it. The taste is very good. I was very impressed.

It tastes like ham.salami or pepperoni essentially so the taste is actually better than those meats. If you have never been to China for the donkey meat we are lucky to have restaurants locally in Toronto who provide us with such a famous Beijing delicacy which originated in the ming dynasty. I am not sure why people in the west don't eat this. You are totally missing out. The advice from a true Canadian who is from Vancouver and stayed in Toronto for 8 years!

It's so refreshing from eating beef all the time. 10/10 donkey Burger if I had to rate it. Thanks alot and will...

November 2021 2★ Right in the heart of North York and downstairs from multiple condo towers in the vicinity, you'll find this small restaurant that fits a single table for 4. The price for a meat filled bun was certainly cheap at a special of $1.99 and had a smoky flavor. The bun wasn't flaky as compared to other places and the meat was chopped up finely, but not minced meat. It was so so, not much actual flavor. The stinky tofu was also so so... It just didn't have the pungent taste as...
