I liked the lamb with bread dish. This place is pretty descent size. It’s clean too. Chicken fried rice was really delicious. Hot and sour soup is good as well. Overall I will recommend it to a friend.
If you love lamb, then you’ll love this place. If you merely like lamb, even you might think it’s a bit much.Chinese Halal couldn’t be more generic with their name. Judging by the look of it outside and the menu, I did not expect to walk into a aesthetically pleasing restaurant. It is a lot nicer than I imagined in my head. The menu is Northern style food that mixes the BBQ with spicy cuisine as well. Oh and lots of lamb options.I’ve had the spicy jellyfish, BBQ lamb skewers, bbq beef skewers, BBQ lamb leg, Sesame lamb chops, and the beef pancakes. Despite the variety of it all, there are just so many inventive ways that they use lamb. The skewers were the best part of the meal as the bbq beef and bbq lamb skewers are incredible (and incredibly fatty as well at times). The meat is savory and tender, but can get a bit over spiced. They really lay on the cumin here.The BBQ Lamb Leg was pretty good as it’s a whole roasted shank, with the same seasoning as used for the skewers. The leg meat tears apart from the bone and you can pick at the meat from the bone at the end if you like. The Sesame Lamb Chops were good, but can be very gamey (some like that), so if you aren’t a big fan of lamb, this dish might turn you off of it for a bit. The sesame flavor doesn’t really come out, but the meat is still very tender and savory.You come here if you want to have lamb or try multiple ways of eating it. The skewers are your best option here as they are very good. The place is clean and it’s pretty nice inside. Service is good and free wifi is offered here as well. cheatdayeveryday.com
I can’t help but say that I was disappointed by this restaurant after reading the other reviews. Having said that, there is an important take away is that they specializes in lamb and lamb only. Today being an exceptionally hot and humid day, we opted for no lamb. Traditional halal Chinese restaurants usually excel in lamb and beef. This is not the case here. Their beef skewers were cooked perfectly, not to raw and not overdone so it pulls off the skewer easily but lacked the flavour when you dug into it. The spicy beef dish was nothing what I expected. When we asked the servers any questions about the dishes, no one seemed to know anything about the menu and we had to ask the owner. Overall came away rather disappointed. Lesson here is stick to the lamb here.
A group of us got together for the celebrate the Year of the Lamb. We were fortunate to have some people come that were familiar with the cuisine and the language to help us get the most out of the extensive menu. I was a little paranoid not knowing exactly what I was eating, but that didn’t stop me!I had never eaten lamb, so this was exciting. Apparently, my mom was the only one in the family that liked it, so I didn’t grow up with it.We started with Lamb Soup and tea. A large bowl was placed on the lazy susan and the event organizer, Jennifer, started dishing it out. It was full of large lamb pieces and green veggies in a mild broth. A great starter.After the soup, the plates started rolling in. Fried Lamb Tongue, Fried Rice, Sliced Lotus Roots and various Lamb Skewers were placed on in the center. The lamb skewers were a little chewy, but packed with flavour. So packed with flavour, that I needed my tea refilled a few times. It was flavourful with a kick. On the flipside, the lotus didn’t really taste like anything. The rice gave balance to the overload of taste from the skewers. I ate lamb tongue. I freaking ate lamb tongue. I didn’t find out what it was until the next day when the pictures were posted on Yelp. It wasn’t bad. It DID have a unique texture, but mixed with the veggies and sauce it was alright. Call it an exotic stir fry.Next entrees to arrive were Lamb Pancakes, Beef and Lamb Dumplings, Sesame Lamb Chops, BBQ Lamb Chops, Spicy Fried Cabbage and the BBQ Lamb Shank. I love dumplings and these were no exception. Lightly pan fried and full of meat, both the lamb and beef dumplings were seasoned just right. My favourite was, hands down, the lamb pancakes. I do realize that the pancakes were a safe choice for someone like myself, but I simply couldn’t resist them. There also wasn’t enough tea in those tiny cups to put out the fire in my mouth from the skewers. The lamb chops were fantastic; each with their own seasoning or sauce. I’m a sucker for anything sesame and they did not let me down. The BBQ chops were seasoned with cumin and it brought the heat. Most of the group liked these the best. Juicy and tender; both chops were winners.The lamb shank was HUGE. I’m glad it was already cut, because that would’ve been a lot of work. The BBQ flavour was similar to the seasoning on the chops; spicy and just plain good. The meat was tender; you didn’t need a fork or knife to eat it.This experience crushed my chopstick skills. I thought I was alright at using them; I don’t starve, but I definitely need some practice. I was a little embarrassed. It’s an excellent excuse to eat more Chinese/Japanese food though. :DA great time! A great meal! I’d go back again. Good quality food and good service. Thanks to this experience, I’m definitely going to test the lamb waters again. itsnotjustaboutthefood.ca
If you like fat and bones. Ordered a spicy lamb dish. all it had was bones and fat, barely any meat. would not recommend this place.
Don’ t tip. Always great food and good service. Only complaint is the annoying owner’s daughter always TELLS you to tip at the end of the meal, every time! Heard from somewhere that the wait staff don’t ever see a penny of the tip so maybe this is why!
Some pieces of the lamb skewers were predominantly fat. Hardly any meat. Too much MSG in everything.
