Wok and Roast Chinese BBQ

What is Wok and Roast Chinese BBQ? Anchoring Broadview Avenue just north of Gerrard in East Chinatown, Wok and Roast Chinese BBQ is a straightforward Cantonese institution anchored by sizzling cleavers and racks of hanging glazed poultry. Inside, the functional, brightly lit dining room features round banquet tables equipped with lazy Susans, humming alongside a brisk front counter packed with locals picking up roast meats by the pound. It operates as both an essential neighbourhood takeout hub and a dependable family-style dining room.

Wok and Roast Chinese BBQ Menu & What to Order The glass siu mei case dictates the table order: secure the Crispy Skin Roasted Pork (Siu Yuk) for its crackling skin and tender, seasoned fat, flanked by the sticky, sweet Signature BBQ Pork (Char Siu). For groups, the two-course Peking Duck impresses with paper-thin crisp skin served in steamy pancakes before the remaining duck is stir-fried with vegetables or noodles. High-heat wok staples hold their own against the barbecue, particularly the Lobster on Fried Noodle coated in aromatic ginger-scallion gravy and the spicy, char-flecked Singapore Noodles.

Know Before You Go Reservations are accepted and strongly recommended if you are bringing a group for a weekend lazy-Susan feast, though solo diners and pairs can usually snag walk-in tables during weekday afternoons. Streetcar access is effortless via the 504 King and 505 Dundas routes stopping directly outside on Broadview, whereas metered street parking can be scarce at prime dinner hours. The kitchen operates daily from 9:05 a.m. to 9:15 p.m., making it an early-morning fixture for roast duck runs and evening dinners alike.
