I usually order the roast duck, roast pork, and BBQ pork (char siu). On this occasion, I ordered the soy sauce chicken as well. The great thing about this place is that I am also able to get a bowl of sauce separately for the BBQ duck and the BBQ pork for no extra charge. That BBQ duck sauce is so extremely delicious, it's just bursting with umami flavour. It's something unique to this establishment.
Upon trying the meats, as usual, the duck was tender and had amazing flavour. It is cantonese-style duck, so the skin is soft. My favourite part to eat is the duck leg. The roast pork is always a must. The skin is very crunchy, and lies on top of a thin layer of fat before you reach the soft meaty section. I love a tender piece of pork that isn't dry, while not containing too much fat. The char siu pork was nice and sweet. You get some fat with the cut of pork they use so it gives a nicer bite. The soy sauce chicken was nice and tender as well. It was nicely marinated.
Again, I've been to this place since I was a child and they always serve some of the best BBQ'ed meat...
Read moreour gp to place for BBQ duck in North york. haven't seen a lot of options.
Menu that I've tried: soy sauce chicken - pretty good, pretty consistent, not too dry.
BBQ duck - our favourite inconsistent, sometimes the duck is scrawny, so there is not a lot of meat. get extra duck sauce.
BBQ Pork - pretty good, can be dry sometimes you need the hoison sauce.
Roasted Pork - good but also inconsistent, can be dry need that hoisom sauce.
chickens feet - it's Dimsum style, so steamed maybe not as soft vut overall pretty good. (have to wait 10 mins usually)
Sweet and Sour chicken - decent a little better than Mandarin.
not a huge language barrier.
but usually ordering you either want to tell them 1/2 example duck (1 box) 1 whole duck (2 boxes) 1 1/2 duck (3 boxes)
so I'm case it's lost in translation you know by how many boxes they tell you...
Read moreI have been there twice, once on a weeknight at 7 PM, and once in a Saturday afternoon at 4 PM. Both times, there is a lineup of 6 people before me. All meat are fully cooked. The roasted pork, BBQ pork, BBQ duck, roasted chicken, soy sauce chicken, free range farm raised chicken, and the hot and spicy chicken feet are delicious. Be sure to ask for the roasted duck sauce and the plum sauce, if you buy the roasted pork or the duck. The only thing bad is the heavy traffic at all times everyday, and construction near York Gate and Finch. They also accept cash, VISA, debit, but not mastercard. You should also check your order before leaving. It happened twice already that when I ordered a full BBQ duck, I was only given half a duck. A full duck should fill 2...
