saigon house

the food is not too bad it all tastes the same though, the chicken is too spicey and it is a pain to peel the shrimp, the service sucks we sat ourselves then had to get up to find a waitress after sitting for 10 min waiting.

chinese scam. this restaurant is operated by chinese but they advertise their place at a korean bbq. the food is too salty, even if there are different kind of meats, they are all marinated in the same sauce and taste the same. the rice has no taste neither. don't waste your money there

first time experiencing korean style eatery. got to say i was pleasantly surprised on the experience. you cook your own raw foods at your table. chicken had a little too much fat on it. the sausages and veggies were really good. my friends enjoyed the sea food options available. i would go back sometime soon.

i celebrated my birthday there tonight with my friends and our collective five small children. the food is really good. the meat is really tender and high quality, and the staff was incredibly attentive and polite. my two year old daughter was very active and wanted to explore the restaurant while we were still eating, and one of the staff members was kind enough to play with her for awhile. i was really impressed, and i will be going back for sure!

high quality korean bbq, ayce, well-appointed. u shao bbq is a large upscale korean resto with traditional grilles in the tables so that you cook your own food. for a moderate ($21.95 dinner) price, we had all you can eat orders of beef, short ribs, chicken, lamb, sausage, mussels, fish, shrimp, squid, onions, mushrooms, green peppers, zucchini, pineapple (and i'm sure that i missed some choices). we each started with miso soup, had the banchan (kimchee), and had a bowl of rice. dessert choices included varieties of ice cream (mango, green tea) and osmanthus cake (actually jelly).

our party of 5 happened on u shao on a visit to hamilton (i.e. farmers' market, art gallery). searching urbanspoon turned up this restaurant with only 5 reviews, but 100% satisfaction. that's an interesting endorsement.

the restaurant is large, with many booths. our group of 5 was too large for a booth, so we were seated against the wall at a table with two grilles. the waiters/waitress acted in a flawless and friendly team service, so that we were just a minute or two away from having our requests fulfilled.

my sons (young adults) were impressed at the quality of food available for grilling. the green lipped mussels were large. the meats had flavourful marinades. at other ayce korean restos, the banchan would have been available, but not necessarily the onions, zucchini and green peppers for grilling. we were impressed that the grill tops were some of the best non-stick surfaces that we've seen -- ceramic, not teflon? -- reflecting the high quality service that this restaurant offers.

my sons also commented that they think they've been eating at too many cheap korean restos in toronto. with my broader range of travel, this dinner was top value for the price amongst korean restos i've eaten in, anywhere.

since we live in toronto, it would be hard for me to justify making u shao bbq a regular destination at a 45-minute from home (when traffic is light). however, any time that we're passing by on the qew, this restaurant will surely be at top of mind of our family.
