Yang’s BBQ Restaurant

We used to go to this place a lot for BBQ food and they were great, I think one of the best in Toronto for Chinese BBQ items. Loved their BBQ cabbage, very unique. This place sells cheap local brewed beer as well.
HOWEVER, I stopped going to this place now they really need to improve their cleanliness, I was there one time and the washroom was disgusting with flies! City of Toronto also posted a yellow notice with conditional pass sticker at the door.
The cloth that they used to clean tables are disgusting, leaves a really disgusting smell.
I mean their food is excellent and authentic but it’s a dirty restaurant, a few of my friends have also stopped going there.

Went here with some friends and had the Sichuan fish hot pot, jellyfish, fried spicy cabbage, cold cucumbers and lamb skewers.
I quite enjoyed everything, especially the fish. However, the next day, there was fire, if you know what I mean ;-).
The $ 7 pitchers were a nice touch!
I was the only laowai there but it’s all good ;-)

Came here for lunch on a Sunday around 1.30pm for 3 people and there were plenty of tables, though I hear it gets busy at night which is how I got intrigued by this place. The interior is quite grey with a mix of out of place trendy lamps vs. cheap chairs and bags of kleenex on the table, I couldnt decide what kind of place it was when I walked in. The tea cups were also a bit dirty and stained, and its your standard no smile asian service BUT the food was good and felt authentic.
We got the lamb and chicken gizzard skewers — they were spicy and seasoned and cooked nicely not chewy at all. The lamb ribs were fall off the bone soft on the inside and had a crispy crust on the outside but not for people who like greasy foods, it was pork belly fat like. The grilled buns were also amazing, the bread is soft and fluffy and the exterior was crispy and crunchy. The grilled corn was ok, skippable. Saw another table eating a large plate of grilled sausages though and they looked delicious and wish I got them.
We also got the beef pancake roll, it came out piping hot and fresh, the pancake was not chewy and wish they had just a bit more sauce on the inside but one of the best I’ve had. The pork dumplings are ok, the meat filling had a strong meat flavour (not regular bland ground pork mush) but the dumpling wrapper was a bit dry. It was also a large serving of dumplings, it came in a steamer with about ¹²⁄₁₅. For all these dishes the bill came up to be $ 32 before tips. As everyone said the food is on the oily side but its almost expected from this kind of cuisine. Will definitely be coming back for the food.

We keep coming back to this place for bbq skewers even there are other similar bbq restaurants closer to home. Tasty flavor and reasonable prices. Lamb skewers are my all time favorite and my son loves the sausages (cuz it’s on the sweet side). I also recommend the shrimp skewers.
Stir fried noodles are on the oily side. But you can ask them to less oil and it’ll be perfect.

Authentic Chinese style BBQ and I totally remind me of home. They have all kinds choices there such as chicken breasts, wings, chives, string mushrooms, tofu etc. The only warning is that most of stuff there is spicy… so make sure you could handle spice. Soy milk seems to be a good drink to dilute spice!

Great Chinese bar b q. The lamb is fantastic. Came here for lunch. It was busy but the service was still very good.

Late night Northern Chinese BBQ restaurant in Scarborough. The BBQ skewers are excellent. Whole shrimp, beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, etc. are all cooked nicely and spiced with a Northern Chinese spice mix. Very good value from about $ 4-​$ 6 on most items.
Some of the other dishes however were lacking and disappointing such as the beef roll wraps and dumplings.
Service was quick.
A pitcher of draft beer is really cheap at $ 7 for any drinkers out there, but this leads to a rowdy drunk and loud late night crowd which diminishes the restaurant experience. Most likely different from a day crowd but we came late around midnight and restaurant closes at 2 am so had this experience.
The other negative is that he place is not the cleanness around as lots of bamboo skewers and napkins and stuff on the floor.

This place has amazing bbq dishes and jellyfish salad. I always come here late at night on a weekday and they are always busy! Reasonable price for what you’re getting and they have beer on tap. I don’t know about their main dishes but normally I come here for the little bbq appetizers. Service is fast as well and they do have an interac machine. I took off one star because of how clean it is.

Great place. Amazing bbq. Must try their skewers especially shrimp, lamb, sausage, squid and chilli. What’s even more amazing? It’s open late night!

The bbq here is really good. We tried a couple of kebabs (lamb, shrimp, sausage, gizzards), all really good. I think the price is pretty reasonable. For eg, the lamb kebabs are $ 4.5 for 3, and come with a fairly generous amount of meat. I’d say on average you are paying $ 1 – 2 per kebab.
Also got a noodle dish which was really flavorful.
The reason I’m only giving it 4 stars is that the other dishes were only ordinary. Got the «dry pot» beef… it was fine, but nothing special. It was a little expensive too, although there was a lot of meat. Also had another meat dish which was actually only okay. The «fried eggplant» dish was actually deep fried, and consisted more of batter than anything else.
So I’d recommend sticking to the bbq dishes.
Also there are a lot of comments about this place being packed at dinner. It was not packed at all on a weekend lunch though.
Big parking lot. Accepts debit or cash

I’ve been here few years ago and it wasn’t bad so I decided to try it out again. The sour soup, meat was pretty good. The draft beer is really cheap but you shouldn’t drink it all the time. Not a very genuine beer. The place is normal line northern Chinese restaurant. It opens late a night.

Yangs BBQ is the place you go to for cheaper Northern food.
Its located right by Double Ming Chinese Dessert and this place gets absolutely packed! The restaurant itself isn’t the smallest place either, but you’ll see frantic waiters and waitresses running around getting orders across. The menu here focuses around BBQ on a stick with lots of Northern options.
Tried quite a bit of everything on sticks, but my favorites were definitely the beef, lamb, and tendon. They have so many things so you can have chicken gizzards, kidneys, tripe, and all the fixins. Cabbage on a stick is also a nice thing that most places have but theirs is extra spicy. Besides the sticks, they have a variety of northern style dishes that I thought were way too greasy and done poorly. You can’t just grab stuff and throw cumin on top to make it taste good.

First off 6 $ pitches FYI
There are many spicy/​lamb kabob spots in Toronto, this is by far my favourite. I find they don’t use (as much) MSG as other ones, and they have really good dishes, not just cheap lamb kabobs. It can get to be a little spicy but its just south watering delicious! Must try is the lamb of course, the shrimp is also a must try and at 5 $ for 6 u can’t go wrong, if u really like it spicy try the BBQ chilli peppers 3 $ for 3. One of my most favourite dishes is the lamb with noodle, it’s under the «M» section.
Does get busy and packed up, so be ready to wait if its around dinner time.
Can’t complain about the service, all the staff are friendly.

I enjoyed the food here the last couple of times I came. The atmosphere feels like it’s a hole-​in-​the-​wall kind of restaurant. The tables and surroundings don’t look all that clean, and the wait staff aren’t very attentive, but the BBQ food is delicious.
Whenever I come here, I get the BBQ skewers and dumplings. very flavourful. I’ve ordered spicy chicken before but we didn’t realize there were bones so it wasn’t as enjoyable. I have a feeling that some of the dishes are a hit and miss like many Chinese restaurants. I think that if you come here, you should stick with what’s best – the BBQ dishes. and maybe something you’re familiar with.
One thing I had an issue with was their beef and onion pancake roll. The first time I had it was great, but the second time was a total miss. It’s like they reduced the amount of meat and just gave me an onion pancake roll. I was disappointed with that and would never order it there again. If you’re looking for a good beef and onion pancake roll, I’d suggest Asian Legend.

6 $ pitchers! Not your regular domestic beer, from a microbrewery but the quality doesn’t lose out. The place is a little dirty but if you’re only there for the food I’ve never gotten sick from them before… The lamb skewers, vegetable soup, and home made dumpling is a must try! Be careful of the juices of the dumpling though, it will burn your tongue.

The area is pretty old but I must say the food really impressed me.
If you want to get a seat, you will have to get there before 7pm or else you will be lining up at the door.
I had the bbq lamb kebab with spice on top. That’s the most delicious BBQ skewer I have. Its almost like the ones at the Markham night market. Also had the cucumber and chicken cold salad dish. Amazing with peanut flavors. The next thing I will rave on is the skewered cabbage.
The waitress and waiters really made them lose those two stars on my review as I thought they were quite rude and slow to react. They make it look like they are so busy running around but if you take a closer look, they aren’t really doing much. Not only are they rude, they really just don’t care that you have your hand up for a few minutes just to get a table set for a friend because they miscalculated. The manager is practically tunnel visioned and won’t respond to you. The younger waiters are a little better about it.
They only speak Taiwanese or Mandarin so they don’t understand English or Cantonese which is kind of frustrating for those who don’t speak the language.

Great food and busy atmosphere for drinks and bbq with friends.
We ordered a bit of everything: cumin lamb stir fry dish, pork belly hot plate, lamb and quail skewers, a vegetable dish, shredded cold potato, and the caramelized sweet potato dish for dessert.
Hands down, the skewers and hot plate were the most memorable. Things are spicy, but not more spicy than say a Korean or Indian or Szechuan place. I have to say, the non-​bbq items really help to round out the meal so don’t skimp on the shredded potato or beer! The caramelized sweet potato desert is a must-​try, too!
Only real complaint is that the service was mediocre — but what do you expect at a Chinese joint?

4 star for BBQ. 3.0 for others.
The BBQ is real Chinese BBQ, taste very good!
And the place is noisy and dirty. be prepared to wait since there is only one waitress, at least when we were there from 5:30 to 6:45.
Love the BBQ beef, wings is ok, not as good as those I had in China.
They added fish and concentrated crab stick in the blood cake, this is the first time I saw seafood cook with the blood cake… so strange… but taste ok, very spicy.
Don’t like the baked oyster at all… no taste…
Will come back for the BBQ only.

In the midst of all the Chinese restaurants in this plaza Yangs was great. If you’re looking for good affordable authentic Chinese food without the fancy schmancy décor then you’ve made a Good choice. I had their noodles, and dumplings and it passed my taste buds test with flying colors.

Tucked in the corner of the Midland-​Finch plaza, this place caters to mainly Mainlanders, but the servers do speak both Cantonese and Mandarin.
Noise is quite loud, especially after 10pm when all the students come in.
In terms of the food though, it was generally delicious. The skewers though were a little bit on the tough side, though the amount of herbs they add is a rather nice addition.
The beef on sizzling hot plate was one of the best I’ve had, and I generally dislike hot plates due to the fact I always seem to get it overcooked. This one was cooked perfectly, not too hard, and we managed to just finish it, so portions were excellent.
Very good service as well, though you sometimes have to yell across to get their attention.
