Good Brothers BBQ — Restaurant in Toronto

In reality a 4.5 here, but I will say this place has a whole bunch of highlights, including some of their signature popular dishes that were frequently ordered, which were very affordable and plain delicious! My experience wasn't a 5 star mostly because of what I have personally ordered.

My friends were good with this type of food and ordered everything but the silkworm chrysails, which I ordered. Since one of my friends and I were both from the region that the restaurant represented, we knew exactly what to go for to share, and we ordered everything from 爽口莴笋丝 which is the asparagus to the 五花肉酸菜 which was the sauerkraut with pork. Everything was tasty and small in portion, so if one had a big stomach, he/she would need to order a lot to get full, which wasn't a problem for me at the time, so I just ordered the silkworm chrysails.

However, the silkworm chrysails were off, as they were not only small, which pretty much meant that the flavor was too condensed to th point of tasting like burning, with not much substance inside the cocoon skin. So basically I was almost just eating crispy skin which wouldn't make the dish complete. Also, I usually had the dish not only with much bigger silkworm back home, but also with black colored ones instead of these tiny golden ones. It was slightly disappointing.

Still, I must admit that EVERYTHING ELSE was fire, and I would still highly recommend whoever around the area to come here, as long as ensuring that the right items are ordered. There could be other items that were off, too.

Something that didn't rub me off the right way was that maybe because they were busy, but our waitress constantly approached us to take our tablet (ordering machine) away, even if we were not finished with ordering everything yet. And whenever we expressed we wer not done yet, our waitress would just walk away without saying anything. I get that Chinese restaurants would compromise service and it's cultural, as we focus on food flavor the most, but I still want to point it out in case anyone reading this cares about it. However, it did not play a factor into my review because Chinese restaurants in general can be like this and...

Having visited Good Brothers multiple times, I was excited to introduce my boyfriend to one of my favourite spots. As always, the experience did not disappoint.

We started with the mini beef skewers and pork belly skewers, which were simply to die for. Both types of skewers were grilled to perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour. The seasoning was expertly balanced, enhancing the natural flavours of the meat without overwhelming them. The beef skewers were succulent and had a slight char that added a delicious smoky depth. The pork belly skewers were rich and savoury, with a perfect combination of crispy edges and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.

To complement the skewers, we ordered a side of grilled cabbage. This turned out to be an excellent choice. The cabbage was lightly charred and seasoned, providing a fresh and slightly crunchy contrast to the rich, savoury skewers. It was a refreshing accompaniment that balanced the meal beautifully without overpowering the main attractions.

The vibes at Good Brothers were, as always, delightful. The restaurant exudes a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The interior decor is super cute, with a charming mix of rustic and modern elements that create a cozy yet stylish environment. The attention to detail in the decor adds to the overall dining experience, making it a place you want to linger and enjoy.

Overall, my visit to Good Brothers was another wonderful experience. The food was outstanding, with the skewers standing out as a highlight of the meal. The grilled cabbage was a perfect side, and the restaurant’s ambiance added to the enjoyment of our evening. While I would rate the experience 4 out of 5 stars, it’s a solid recommendation for anyone looking to enjoy expertly grilled meats in a charming setting. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, Good Brothers delivers consistently delicious food and a lovely...

Food: We visited the restaurant during rush hours, the food was only a little bit warm and even cold-ish when they were served. My friend visited the restaurant before during non-rush hours, and said that the roasted lamb rib was good so we ordered it, it turned out that the portion was much smaller than last time. There were 6 of the ribs for the dish, but some of them are really tiny. So I guess it’s not a good idea to visit this restaurant next time during rush hours? The eggplant was even worse, it was so overcooked, burnt and inedible that we had to return and cancel it.

Facility: The seat is broken and shakes every time we move a bit. The plate only has too small candles for decoration, can’t keep the food warm.

Service: The waitress is too busy to notice us. We had to hold our hands for a long time before anyone could come to us. We could only get them when they brought food to the other tables around us. Other time...
