Wok & Roast Chinese BBQ Restaurant

Probably the best bbq pork in YYZ. Exceptional customer service Food’s excellent. Free Pork neck bone soup with every dish you order. Completely happy Had my left over packed with free rice . I mean ,who does that nowadays. Super affordable I’ll be back very soon . Huge thanks to you all

At $12 plus tax, the price for two meats and broccoli on rice is great! The pork roast had crispy skin and so did the bbq duck. Well cooked, but served cold. Wish it was served hot. Happy to have chilli oil in a jar to add to the food. Service was kind, courteous and exceptionally quick. The complimentary tea seemed freshly brewed. The restaurant has comfortable seating and is pretty quiet. They also have a spoon and a fork on the table, much unlike other Chinese restaurants in the city. Will visit again for the comfort and to try the $40 for two lobsters offer.

Prices were reasonable at Wok & Roast Chinese BBQ restaurant. A 3-meat plate with rice + tip was $20. I got the soy chicken, the duck and the crispy pork. The crispy pork was definitely a highlight, as was the ginger scallion dip. The soy chicken and duck were both tasty and moist although the duck was littered with bone - it was a bit messy. I will say the food was quite delicious. While the temperature of the crispy pork was warm, the duck and chicken were actually quite cold - I don't mean room temp, I mean cold like it was pulled from the refrigerator and the outside was warmed up quickly but not the inside. About my waiter; what can I say. He didn't say hi, he didn't say thanks, when I said thanks twice he didn't acknowledge me. And then was watching his phone the entire meal. I just had to go to the counter and pay and when he saw me he came over and kept watching his phone. I don't really expect more, but I'm still tipping so at least give me something. I'd come back for a 1.lb plate of pork that's for certain.... Update: just 2.5hrs later and it's rough - I have not been feeling good at all and I have an iron stomach, but something here is not agreeing with me.

I ordered takeout honey glazed spareribs for $20. The ribs didn't look freshly made today and were hard to chew. The portion was small. I was completely disappointed and will never go there again.

We ordered tofu and broccoli, general Tao’s chicken, and a two-meat BBQ with soy sauce chicken and bbq pork. The BBQ was quite good, with crispy skin, minimal fat, and a good taste. The General Tao’s chicken was okay but weirdly dry, and they offered a 2-for-1 deal but they skimped on both dishes, which meant that it was really more like 1.5. The strange thing is that there was almost no sauce, and this is a dish that’s all about the sauce. The tofu with broccoli was truly horrible. And I love tofu. This dish was inedible, and accounts for most of my rating. The tofu was soggy and cold and tasted like a dish rag. I couldn’t eat it.

Ordered fried rice on Uber eats because their ratings were high. This was also my first time ordering from this restaurant. This is the worst fried rice I have ever had in my entire life, I’m not even being dramatic it’s horrible. I was hopeful to have it as a recovery meal but what a waste. It’s terrible 🚮

We've had Wok & Roast take out before and enjoyed it. Wanted to try dining in and did so recently. It is a well appointed, nice cosy, dine in space. The service was fast and attentive and the food was fresh and tasty. Lots of lean chicken in the sweet & sour and the right combo of crispy and sauced noodles in the Cantonese Noodles. All ingredients in dishes were fresh and tasty. A pleasant change from take out or delivery!

Recently stopped by for a craving of BBQ pork ! We tried a small trio : bbq pork, roast duck and roast chicken, on a bed of delicious rice. L and steamed broccoli. The pork was out of this world! The duck was amazing, but I think we’d probably get the soya chicken next time as our roast chicken was a bit dry. We got a bit of green onion, garlic oil and that helped the chicken out a bit but was a new staple dish for my partner! The Buddha veggies were quite plentiful and topped the meal off. Everything was quite reasonably priced, so definitely going back. This place has been around forever and doesn’t disappoint. The only surly side was our waiter. It felt like he was in the wrong business of hospitality…

Was not in the mood to cook and decided to order some food in BBQ Duck Really worth the hype -- tender and moist, with light five‑spice seasoning and soft but flavorful skin. Lots of reviews about this place Generous Portions & Value The usual "two meat rice combo" including broccoli and rice goes for under CAD20 which is incredible value considering the size and quality of the meal. Plus today they had a two for one. Garlic Broccoli & Rice The broccoli stayed crisp and garlicky,not soggy and the white rice soaked up just enough sauce to stay moist without being mushy Will repeat and try some other options next time

Got to restaurant about at closing time and the staff were kind enough to seat and serve our party of 11. BBQ was worthy for end of day. Very kind still not rushing us while we had a giant table of food. (still wound up taking home a half order of duck and steamed chicken). Went to competition later in the week. W&R is significant less expensive without the quality/service hit. Being less busy allows the staff to still give you adequate attention.

Best Best Best Chinese food in this side of town. Clean, fresh, very nice service. I've been going there since little girl 5 generations. Thankful!

Hands down the best Chinese BBQ restaurant in Riverdale! The service is polite and efficient. The takeout counter is at the front of the restaurant. Although their name has changed over the years from Ka Ka Lucky to Wok & Roast Chinese BBQ, their ample menu offerings have consistently remained great. It's an East Chinatown institution! Came here for the BBQ dishes on rice (roast pork and BBQ pork) along with an appetizer order of Sweet & Sour Soup (more sweet and sour than hot and sour). Time and time again, their food is always exceptionally delicious. Left here with an extra large order of Braised Tofu to go.

Food was amazing, price for great Definitely recommend 5 star. Staff was nice and atmosphere good as it gets for a momma pop restaurant

There isn't a lot of good Chinese restaurants in East Chinatown. This bbq place isn't go to for Chinese bbq. Ambiance: Your typical Chinese bbq place with bbq meat hanging from the window that's how you know it's authentic! The restaurant is small with only a few smaller tables. Service: I ordered take out it as super fast! Food: I ordered one meal with one bbq item ( roasted duck ) for only $9 and 2 bbq items ( bbq pork and roasted pork) for the second meal for $11 in small size. Price is very good. The meal also comes with broccoli. I also ordered the hot and sour soup which was so tasty with strips of bbq pork, bamboo shoots, small shrimps and fungus with tofu. So tasty and spicy. First time having this soup here and it was delicious! The bbq meats was fresh and flavourful.

I came to Old Broadview Chinatown to try "Completo," a Latin restro a couple of doors down. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with may tacos at Completo and was still hungry. This Chinese BBQ spot got my attention, so I popped in and ordered me some good old BBQ Pork & Soya chicken to eat at home. Don't remember "Wok & Roast Chinese BBQ," but it's been at least 5 years since I've been in this area because most Chinese restaurants have moved to Markham. A lot has changed in the area. When I got home, I did reheat my food because I prefer it hot, not warm. Keeping that in mind, it would have tasted better if I ate immediately. The meal came with my request meats and some broccoli. The BBQ Pork was solid. It was tender and had a good mix of fat and lean pork. The BBQ pork sauce was also a nice balance of sweet and savory. The Soya Chicken was good as well, but I wish they had included some ginger-scallion sauce. I'm not sure if this was even an option here. Even after microwaving, the rice was good, surprisingly not mushy, considering I asked for extra sauce over everything. I would come again if I'm in the neighborhood. For those wondering why only 3 stars if I enjoyed the food? Well, my rating would actually be 3.5 stars, but Yelp doesn't do half stars, and 2nd, I've been spoiled with great Chinese BBQ... that is "HKS Barbecue & Noodle House" located at First Markham Place. Don't get me wrong, this spot is good, but not I gotta drive 30 min to get my fix Chinese BBQ good. The service was quick and friendly. The decor is tasteful, causal, welcoming, and clean. If you have a craving for Chinese BBQ in the east end of the city, give this spot a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed... My 2 cents.

Wok & Roast is a traditional Chinese BBQ restaurant with the BBQ items on display at the front window. They also offer dishes commonly found in most Chinese restaurants in the GTA. I ordered a large BBQ duck on rice take out during my visit. The BBQ duck tasted alright, and came with a side of broccoli. The large size was not worth it, as the extra BBQ duck was mostly bone. Service was fast. Street parking available. The neighborhood is served by TTC line 506.

I don't know how it's possible to make such bad mapo tofu. Worst food I've ordered EVER and unfortunately I'm not exaggerating.

Had been recommended this joint as the place to try out barbecued meats, and they offer different protein options. I had to try the BBQ duck and got a half portion to try. It came with equal portions of crispy duck skin and the inside was tender and moist as well. I felt the price was very reasonable considering this protein usually sells for much higher, and this is definitely a dish to go back for. The crab meat with broccoli and mushrooms was a bit of a let down for me as the consistency and texture was not what I was expecting (more on the mushy side on the bite). Will definitely try their bbq pork next time as it seems to have rave reviews here on Yelp!

I wondered if they changed owners in the last 5 months? Food was hard to eat I asked for a small bite size and the butcher cut them into DOG size bites, and it was bland! I came downtown for this garbage and they raised the pieces and it surely doesn't reflect it. Anyone else attempt to go here I hope anyone goes here have a better experience. Otherwise I look forward to the next 10 reviews if I should return ever again. Alternative goto Golden Stone at Spadina and Dundas their roast pork is extra crispy and better service! I went their last week!

I tried the restaurant since it was open early and the bbq selection hanging in the window looked good. The roast pork was excellent, the spicy shrimps delicious. Take out service was fast and courteous. Prices reasonable.

3.5* During the pandemic, I ordered Uber eats from Wok & Roast quite often. They always have a BOGO offer on with some of the dishes (although I later realize that they really jack up the price quite a lot for Uber eats, like 2x the price). That said, when I'm craving Chinese bbq, this place hits the spot. My go to item is the 2 meat + rice - I like the roast pork and bbq chicken. I also like to get their soup of the day - although on some days, it's really watered down, so it could be hit or miss. All in all I would still recommend this place to satisfy any Chinese BBQ cravings.

If you love BBQ Pork & Roast Pork, this place has the best of it! I have tried a lot of Chinese BBQ place, but this place hits the best, always! Bbq pork seasoned perfectly and its juicy. The Roast Pork skin is so cripsy! Even we got the pig ear. However, we ask for sauce, and the person who usually serve us only stared at us. I guess she is not in the mood. This place was full of people! Cause they know the best bbq in Toronto is here! Follow me on instagram @astravel_eats

My friend's family owns this restaurant. Previously named Ka Ka Lucky Seafood BBQ Restaurant, for those who are familiar with this location. Always buzzing with customers among all their competitors in East Chinatown. Great place to get your BBQ meat fix, especially their BBQ pork (Cha Siu) and Roasted Pork (Siu Yuk).

A great place for quick and tasty cantonese food in cabbagetown. Visited many times and the food keeps you coming back for some comfort chinese food. Meats are tender and well seasoned. Its close to riverdale park so grab some takeout and enjoy it while soaking in the great views from the park.

This is my go-to place for Chinese BBQ and roasted meats on the way home from work. This place is especially busy during the Chinese New Year holiday eve and expect to wait a minimum of 30 minutes or more. It's just how it is this time of year. Although you don't have to worry that they will run out because they know to make a lot more to serve the extra customers that come in just for this occasion. I ended up getting a free-range poached chicken, 2 lbs of roasted pork, and a whole roasted duck for about $75 dollars. I think that is pretty fair tbh. During the "off-peak" season, you can generally walk into this place with nary a line-up to be seen and be on your way with the delicious BBQ and roasted meats. I find the prices to be quite fair for what you get. You can ask the chef to pick different styles of cuts for the roasted pork (fatty, medium, or lean) or select the best roasted duck hanging in the display window. This place is also a restaurant although I've never been hungry enough to come here to try the menu.

Guys, guys. I usually associate the east Chinatown with restaurants that are empty and a little rundown. However, this one definitely wasn't! Even the bathrooms were new and spotless. Renovations were good to this place! Meanwhile, the food: the menu is a little unfriendly (no pictures, no descriptions, just lists upon lists in a tiny font) but after you get through that, the food comes to the table super fast. They definitely don't oversalt things; we ordered the crispy half-chicken, and it came with its own little bowl of salt and pepper. It was a little strange, but it's definitely good for people who like to have control over their salt intake. We also ordered the rice with chicken and vegetables-- this honestly didn't look appetizing, but it tasted like congee. The highlight was the chowmein noodles. The noodles weren't soaking in sauce, so they were still crunchy, which gave the dish great texture. And at the end, there were free slices of watermelon. All in all, we ate a meal for four people and it cost $28.00. In tapas-crazed Toronto where "sharing plates" mean two dehydrated chicken wings for $18, I think this is a bargain worth having again. And again. And again. Added bonus: it's close to Wong's if you want some great ice-cream for dessert!

Ok. Wok and roast has slowly slipped down the abysmal path of crappy food since the Reno. We have had numerous bad meals in the last two months. Today was the worst. Braised tofu. $2 - 2 squares. Was made yesterday. Very gritty. Lacked flavour. 2 bbq chicken wings $5. Yesterdays food as well. Chewy Cantonese chow menu. Just horrible. Over stretch. Huge Chunks of chicken & pork. Chewy squid. Old shrimp. One piece of scallop. Watery not crispy noodle. $12 General Tao chicken. Just horrible. Could have been pork for all I know. A mess of sweet and sour sauce. And over cooked deep fried chicken. $13 Service indifferent. I feel like they plied crap on us because we aren't Chinese. We went at least 3 times a month. Never going again. The east end is done with good Chinese. The mall court at Gerrard square for 1/2 the price. Is comparable to what we got today. The owner knows us. And I can't believe she would serve this crap to us. Or anyone else. Also the Reno was last year. Clean the chandeliers & floors and mirrors. Since the increase in minimum wage they of course raised prices. But almost 30%. For shittier food.

This place has been my go-to for Chinese BBQ for years. Before their renovation and name change, Kaka lucky has been serving awesome Chinese BBQ. Meat is always tasty and since they are quite busy, their turnover is high which makes the meats always good. For $6 you can get a takeout box of rice topped with meat and a small side of vegetables. What I really like is the consistency of their food. Unlike other restaurants in the same category, who are usually hit and miss, Wok And Roast always taste the same. Since the renovation they have managed to keep the good food but also improve the restaurant. They now take debit/credit cards which is rare for Chinese restaurants in the area. Even their washroom is clean which is VERY rare in Chinese establishments. Parking is non-existent as only street parking is available.

$11 for the large two meat platter with rice, broccoli and sauce. Had the duck and the pork. I would take some pictures but it got eaten very quickly. Can't think of many other meals I've had that could easily feed two or three people for the price! Can't wait to go back and try the Congee.

I can't believe it. I ordered a roast pork on rice and what I got was roast pork end cuts. Are u joking? I am trying to order take outs to keep the businesses in Riverdale afloat in this difficult time. Don't take advantage of your customers please. I am really disappointed.

I got the half roasted duck by delivery. The seasoning of the skin was amazing but the meat itself was a bit bland. It could be less oily too. However, the taste itself was very good and well balanced. The location is also not bad because it is very close downtown west. I suggest this place.

Great Chinese BBQ joint in East Chinatown in Toronto. I ordered a whole BBQ pig here for once for a bday. This was a tad pricier than other places I've bought from. Also came for a lunch special. I tried the 3 meat lunch for about $13, and chose BBQ Pork (char siu), duck and crispy pork. My fabe was the char siu. Great value and taste.

This place was incredibly busy! Love it! The BBQ line was extremely busy at the time which is great to see. The service was very Asian and got inattentive service, but expected. What ruined it was the microwave. Got BBQ pork and they nuked it to be the purest form of rubber it can be. I was baffled and saddened at the same time. This was for dine in. Take out seemed fine. The other ordered foods was not that good, wasn't tasty as it should be.

Oh boy, not sure what happened here. Highly recommended by a friend and so many great ratings on the WWW. We ordered by UberEats and were very much looking forward to our order of Spring Rolls, Tofu and Broccoli, Grouper with sweet corn and Buddha's veggies. What arrived was very oily, overcooked and lacking any discernible flavour at all. We managed to pick through a few of the veggies but the rest went out to the critters in the backyard (Even they didn't want it, It's still there this morning!) With dining rooms ordered closed and many people wanting to support local business .. this is very disappointing

Bbq pork is too dry even though I asked for one with fat. Person behind counter seem to not care.

Well I guess it's been a while since I've updated my review here, but I'm glad to say the quality is still there. This is still a classic, and I'm still a regular. It's old fashion hole in the wall, but still great value. As restaurants all around this place have come and gone in the neighbourhood, it's still here and still decently busy. Not sure about this other review who doesn't like chinese food but still gave his nickle of advice. Kinda like not liking burgers and reviewing a burger joint. I don't get it. Anyways... If you're looking for Chinese BBQ in the downtown core, this is still the place.

What a disappointment. I've been craving Chinese food for 2 weeks and finally decided to order in. We got vegetable spring rolls, the stir fried eggplant with ginger, Kung Pao chicken and the beef & soy sauce fried rice noodles and the verdict for all these dishes was BLAND. BLAND BLAND BLAND. The filling of the springrolls wasn't seasoned at all and for some reason, everyone could detect cinnamon in the springroll... The eggplant was cooked nicely but I have no idea where the ginger was. The Kung Pao chicken was 55% celery, 20% carrots, 10% peppers and 15% chicken. Lucky me, who hates celery with a passion. It wouldn't have been so bad if the dish was flavorful but nope. Best part was the dish was advertised as "spicy" on the menu and we asked if they could make it mild. Mild is one thing, bland is another. And finally, while the rice noodles and beef had a nice smoky flavor, it didn't seem like they had even put salt on them. Not sure where the advertised soy sauce was but the noodles were dry and bland. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

The best bbq pork and duck !!! Friendly staff and great food ... 100% recommended !!!!!

First of all, the service here was excellent! Better than you would expect at typical Chinese restaurants! Overall food was good! Soup was delicious, fried rice of flavourful! The bean shoot wasn't the best, if you knew this vegetable they have to be picked at just the right time or else they become hard to chew, I just think they didn't get the best quality from their suppliers, so I had to spit some parts out because there was too much fibre making it hard to chew. Lastly, the bbq, we ordered a three item combo platter because we wanted to try different things. They were flavoured very nicely, the roasted pork had the perfect crunchy skin. However, how everything was COLD!!! Maybe it was because they hang all the meats by the window and it was a very cold day? But it definitely wasn't to appetizing to eat cold roasted meat since the fatty part got stale. Will return to try different things on the menu, and the service and food was worth the price. Maybe on a warmer day where the meat would get too cold.

I just ordered from here again after a long hiatus and I noticed the Kyles and Karens have gotten their hands on a yelp subscription since. Why you guys dissing the bbq meats, you know nothing, ooohh you eat at 5 Chinese places a year! So qualified to give 1 stars. I agree these guys jacked up their prices and treat you like scum when you're not Asian but they definitely make some of the best BBQ pork, Duck and roast pork in the city. Still as good as I remembered when it comes to those specific items but I wish the fried rice wasn't $20 I just bought 4 kilos of rice for $4. Anyways, I gave 5 stars because of the 1 star Karen's looking for free food and credits. Domi arrigatto bitches.

When you walk in, the takeout counter is right there which makes it easier to order. The window displayed so many delicious items such as roasted pork, roasted duck, soy chicken, etc. I ordered a small 1 BBQ item on rice for $6.99 which was fairly priced. I got the crispy roasted pork and the combo came with steamed garlic broccoli and an au jus on top. Everything was pretty tasted though I would have liked some soy sauce to be included with my combo or something.

Came here for lunch with my family and food wise it's okay. I did enjoy their green beans with garlic. Their bbq is okay but they also have combos which is reasonable pricing.

I would give 3 and 1/2 if they have this rating. The roast pork was crispy and juicy but the problem was I ordered the roast piglets which was more expensive than the roast pork and they gave me regular roast pork instead and charged me for piglet price. The bbq pork was delicious and not dry. Soy chicken was a bit dry. Overall, the food was good and would order again but would call the restaurant if they actually have the piglets as they are commonly available.

Horrible food and rip off.I ordered from Door Dash 1st time.Ordered signature pork that is supposed to he 1lb of bbq pork with honey sauce for 12.50.What I got was pork fried rice with piddly little tidbits of pork.I ordered another rice dish so basically I got to orders that I dos not need.Food was ice cold and to make matters worse Door Dash credited me just over 3 dollars.If I did not hze to get up for work early Iwould take this order to restuarant myself.I am so pissed off.I did not eat any of it 30.00 of crap going in garbage NEVER AGAIN FROMTHIS CLIP JOINT OR DOOR DASH

Portions are small for $14.10 but it taste good. I counted about 7 pieces at most. I probably won't go back again.

Food is good... However some staff VERY rude and surly, obviously no management. I ordered something which took several times repeating myself and they deliberately screwed up my order. Their English is not good. Rude and stupid staff!

I loooove the BBQ pork on rice, and that alone gets 5 stars! The portion is $7 I think, it's huge (two meals even if you're feeling hungry!) and so delicious. It comes with garlic broccoli and a lovely honey-soy sauce. I think it's the best in the city, and the price can't be beat! The service is extremely quick for take out and the staff have been there for ages, and are friendly and helpful. Love this place for lunch, dinner and drink for under $10 (how crazy!)

I've had their roasted pork many times and it's usually very good. So this time I decided to order from their menu and it was terrible. One of the worst Chinese food ever. Quantities were very small. Taste was very bland. Do yourself a favour and stay away.

Great authentic Chinese food and good value. My go too are crispy pork and char sui pork.

BBQ for price, can't be beat... 'nuff said. Says my review is too short. Sometimes, it isn't necessary to say any more. Kaka is a hole in the wall, I have been eating their food since I was but a wee lad. My dad has been going there for over 30 years. Gross washroom, old and decaying floors and carpets, chopping board and the butcher's cleaver is probably older than me... $5.00 flat lunch special BBQ pork with broccoli & tofu stir fry on white rice. Da f*** you find that kinda deal downtown anymore?

I ordered a whole roast duck on ubereats and I got one small container of mostly neck bones and barely any meat. The duck didn't taste that good for $34 I expected to have at least two breasts but there wasn't available. Fix your quality control and get it right

Always a great stop for lunch, from the BarBQ to the Seafood it is fresh, well presented and tasty. Service is fast and friendly. I make this a regular lunch stop to relax

Love this place - best chasiu pork ever. Excellent value and quality. Usually get the roast duck, bbq pork, soya chicken; also had the Cantonese chow mein, oyster sauce snow pea shoots, roast pork. Roast pork is closest to Filipino lechon outside of a Filipino resto.

Cheap and cheerful. Wish they'd reopen for sit down, two years of takeout is enough. Sesame chicken is spectacular. They recognize repeat customers which is always a welcome sign.

I got a couple of rice & meat specials, including sweet & sour pork, soy chicken, roasted pork & BBQ char sui. There was so much rice & so little meat. So dry. No sauce. So not worth it. And also the server messed up my order. And was not helpful at all. I'm in full agreement with what Sheila said in her review.

I bought the bbq pork with crisp skin and the Chinese bbq pork. They switched my order when I was paying. I know that because I order the bbq pork with cutting and when I opened it at home, the bbq pork was cut. They put in bbq pork with crisp skin with just 1 piece of crispy skin. Man was I pissed that I got taken in. The pieces were very tough. Like day old pork. :( It was over loaded on msg. :( I ended up with an upset stomach. I got my senior mum sick too. :( She ended up going to washroom many times in the night. I try to help a business during the pandemic but this is ridiculous. Ended up tossing out the food. :( I've been eating many years of Chinese food. This was a real let do

BBQ prices have skyrocketed over the last year; no longer a value meal to be had. Worse, the quality and freshness of meat can vary, and inconsistency can be the kiss of death. The fried noodle dishes are also subpar like they have been hastily prepared. There was always a constant line out the door for BBQ takeout here. Not anymore. It's easy to see why.
