He He Long BBQ Take-Out Shop — Restaurant in Toronto

Sneaky owners. Watch out and the BBQ pork was OK.

I was here on January 1, 2022 6:30 PM, It was my first time and I requested BBQ pork. The gentleman (who I think was the son) grabbed one from the display hanging rack and weighed it to be 1.7 lbs. He asked if I would like it chopped and I said yes AND this is where my story took a bad turn...

While he was chopping, he asked me if I wanted anything else, I requested additional sauce for the BBQ pork (which they charge additionally for - no big deal) and then went to take a look at the other meat. Quickly turning back to the gentleman, I asked about the squid and his eyes quickly darted to match mine. He looked slightly nervous and guilty - as though I caught him doing something he shouldn't be doing. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and said that I'll just be taking the BBQ pork.

He handed me the container over the counter and I walked to the cash register to pay. For 1.7 lbs, it seemed a little lighter than I expected. Not to cause a fuss, the other owner (whom I believe is the mother) rang me in according to the tag for 1.7 lbs. Total for the BBQ pork and the extra 1/2 cup of soy sauce + tax came to $26.20.

I couldn't shake the look that the son gave to me so when I arrived home, I took out my digital food scale to check my suspicion. SURPRISE! OR rather not?! As indicated in the attached picture, the weight was nowhere near 1.7 lbs but magically became 1.139 lbs AND this even includes the weight of the container and the soy sauce that was added (of course before the additional 1/2 cup I ordered).

Being a little upset, I called the shop to have the mother answer the phone. She denied anything shady happening and would be happy to give us back the 1/2 lbs difference when we go back to their shop next time. She wasn't rude but did consistently mention that there was no mistake and sometimes these things happen. Hmm...how does 1/2 lbs of meat disappear on the ride home?

In summary, their BBQ pork was OK, if you have no other choices make sure you keep a close eye on your purchase or don't be surprised that some of the meat magically runs away without you knowing. There are other reviewers who mentioned a similar experience so...

WHAT. LIKE WHAT. I have no words for this place.

I almost spent $25+ at pho train... But at 6pm i saw the chinese bbq just hanging in front of the window and that told me 2 things. They're so busy that at this time they replenish fresh BBQ and its GOOD.

Michael, the chef at the counter, runs this family business now and thank God because our chinese parents want us to get corporate jobs... but this. chinese bbq. Is. An art. And i was always fearful that it would become a lost art. His father assist by cashing out patrons. He so sweet and funny. He can tell i know that his bbq is the real deal judging by the places i named.

I got 3 combo rice, roast pork, red sausage, and duck. Duck is extra. I also got a side of octopus. To die for. The cabbage is to die for. The soup is to die for. Totally worth your time and money. I couldnt leave the parking lot without writing a review.

Cash only here guys. So i had to run to my car for money.. by the time i came back... it was like a lineup of 7people. That should say enough. A BONUS? They give bougie chopsticks. The kind that do not need to be split. You'll see.

Absolutely phenomenal. This place rivals anywhere in the gta. Prob all of Ontario. Super gangster...

He He Long Bbq is not as good as the "New Sun BBQ" restaurant located at the intersection of Midland Ave and McNicoll Ave: 3833 Midland Ave, Scarborough, ON M1V 5L6 . "New Sun BBQ" is not only better, cheaper, but also bigger portion of meat(of whatever you order), on top of that, you get a choice of a big bowl of either soup or refreshing soya milk, and it's free of charge.

HeHe: $8 for 1 combination of rice + 1 roasted meat (roasted pork or duck or chicken) without tax $8.50 for 2 combination of rice + 2 roasted meat (roasted pork or duck or chicken) without tax $9.00 for 3 ........

whereas "New Sun BBQ" restaurant :$6 for 1 combination of rice + 1 roasted meat (roasted pork or duck or chicken) without tax a choice of a "free" big bowl of either soup or refreshing soya milk :) $6.50 for 2 combination of rice + 2 roasted meat (roasted pork or duck or chicken) without tax $7.00 for 3 ........ a choice of a "free" big bowl of either soup or refreshing soya milk :)

for a bigger portion of meat and also with sauce and some veggie(whereas He He is dry), and a more tastier...
