I explored various skewer restaurants and decided to try this one. I would suggest bringing a larger group than just two, as the portions of other dishes are quite generous. We didn't order extensively, but the food was delicious. They offered desserts near the cashier and self-serve drinks in a refrigerator at the front. The primary drawback is that the staff primarily speaks Mandarin, which we don't, but the menu was accessible via a phone, simplifying the ordering process. I can't comment on the atmosphere, as our evening visit was quiet, so I am unsure what it is like during busier times. Overall, I plan to return to sample other dishes, though the portions are quite substantial.

On a sunday evening we were able to book for a table for 8, but we got a call back and wereb told we only have two hours sitting limit (which is fine, and we got the room to ourselves). The food comes fast. However, all the servers seem to be very tired and just leave the room after we ask them a request. There was no acknowledgment nor said anything back. The bill had two items wrong, but we caught it, and the lady came and explained and fixed it for us. Overall... service is not that good... Food however was good, and the beer was cheap. But everyone in the group thinks the beer special probably doesn't have much percentage to it, you can try and be the judge of it. There is free parking in the front, wasn't hard to find a spot. Overall, because the service I wouldn't come back again. However, last time when a friend ordered take out, it was all good. So it is a great alternative if you just want their food and no in need of service.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve dined at this restaurant — it’s become a go-to spot for me. Their Guo Bao Rou (crispy sweet and sour pork) is an absolute must-try, as is the sauerkraut with vermicelli. The grilled sausages, skewers, pumpkin cakes, and fried rice are all incredibly tasty as well. Honestly, everything I’ve tried from their menu has been delicious. While I haven’t made it through the entire menu yet (it’s quite extensive!), the dishes I order most often have never disappointed. It’s hard to go wrong here.

The place is busy, so they have a sign in system whereby you add your name and phone number to the waiting list and they will text you when your turn comes up. Unfortunately, they don't do that . It's more of whoever is there in front of the main server gets seated. We waited for an hour before we got tired and spoke to the server. She ended up seating us in a small table in a corner. Was not very impressed. Once seated , the service was fast and friendly. The food was excellent. Just wish we had enough room to put the food and drinks .

If you’re on the hunt for a fire-breathing feast, look no further than The Dragon BBQ Bar: Markham’s ultimate Chinese BBQ spot open daily from noon till 2 AM. With its retro 80s vibe, it’s the perfect den to gather friends and family for a night (or day!) of delicious eats and lively drinks. Their BBQ skewers were the real drag-on stars there, offering everything from tender beef and lamb to fresh seafood and crisp veggies, all expertly grilled to smoky perfection. The stir-fried noodles and sour-spicy soup packed a punch of flavour, while the golden egg fried rice and honey grilled toast added just the right touch of comfort and sweetness. Don’t miss their unique self-branded beer — it pairs perfectly with the bold BBQ flavours and rounds out the meal with a cool finish. Bonus points for the complimentary dessert and refreshing slush to cool down the heat! To hear more about this review, CHECK US OUT on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, & LinkedIn @eatinontario.

Came here late at night to eat. Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait to get seated. The food tasted good and dishes came out hot, which I appreciated. Service was okay. The atmosphere/vibe of the restaurant was nice and they had lots of decorations inside. A good spot to eat friends and family, and they can accommodate large parties as well. They close at 2am so it can be a good spot if you’re finding a restaurant to eat late at night.

Great late night hang with friends. Skewers came out hot and flavorful. Seasoning was not too ovr powering with cumin flavor. Atmosphere had an old school HK bar feel. Drinks were at a reasonable price as well.
