Hi, I just want people opinions on the best BBQ pork in the city, I've always gone to Suns BBQ on Centre Street for years. I've heard other places like Wai's BBQ or BBQ express is also very good too. Can anyone recommend me there go to spots that are similar in quality and price to Suns BBQ? Thanks. submitted by /u/Chan69ZX [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am looking for date night recommendations for places that are indoors and aren't too noisy so we can have a private conversation for an hour or 2. Happy to pay a cover charge, buy food/drinks and if the place gets busy not hold a table for too long. Any ideas on what might fit this bill? submitted by /u/LowStandardsHiPrices [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
