Chako Barbecue Izakaya - Richmond Hill

Interesting experience. You cook your own food (meat, seafood, veggie, pineapple) on a grill in the middle of your own table. We'd rate the food a 3, but the atmosphere and experience boosts up the overall rating. Limited sushi also on the all-you-can-eat menu Staff was friendly, a little slow though.

Our group visited the Chako at East Beaver Creek on a Saturday night and I figured it would be busy. To get ahead of the crowd, we met at 6pm and easily grabbed a table. The large restaurant filled up fast and there was a short line outside when we left 3 hours later. Most of the tables at Chako were occupied by large groups (families, birthday gatherings) and it was boisterous but not loud. The air was filled with the smoke of BBQ, which lingered in my hair and clothing for the rest of the night.

Like. We used to ordered Korean BBQ at Korean restaurants before Chako opened its door, the BBQ meals at other Korean restaurants are expensive, and we were still hungry afterwards. We haven't visit Chako for a while, hope it's still good.

Drove by last night and decided to give it a try. Overall enjoyed it. The food was really good. What they are lacking is definitely customer service. Asked for rice that never came and had to wait 25 minutes before anyone checked on us. Would go back and give it another try..

Good stuff. It's a loud and fun atmosphere at least the time I or my bf has gone. We've only had the bbq and it was pretty good as well as the cold sides. Overl good place to fill up on bbq meat.
