📍 @Bigtrouble - 460 Dundas St W
🤌🏽 - This bar is literally a hole in the wall located in the heart of Toronto’s Chinatown & so easy to miss! With that being said, I am so glad I found this hidden gem because this literally felt as if walking into a bar in Asia. The vibe of this place was everything & did I mention they have happy hours too! Which is absolutely insane, all under $8! (Including drinks too, I know!!)
📣- Happy Hour every day from 5:30pm to 7:30pm & Dj every Thursday to Saturday @ 10pm. They are open from 5:30pm to 2:00am.
🚨- $5 Snacks (Curry Beef Pocket, Bang Bang Shrimp, Fried Wontons & Thick Cut Fries), Drink Specials (Big Trouble Lager - $6/Pint & House Cocktails $10/2oz) & $8 Dumplings!!
🫶🏽Special mention to Ming Xie & Brandon for being super amazing and welcoming! 10/10 for the service! & for all the amazing food, I’d like to thank Thuyi!! Her love & passion really shines through the food she serves!

The food is incredible, the atmosphere is moody in the best way possible, but what really makes this place great is the service. Our server, Kwaku, made us feel welcome and at home from the start, remembered our names throughout the night and made us feel like part of his family. A wonderful human and a great night with delicious food and dancing.

Great for groups.

Wow this place really is like being transported to somewhere in Asia. The decorum is hip the guy is really gracious and the food has a taste that honours the origin. Great for late night open till 2am small plates no too pricey dishes include bang bang rolls ginger butternut squash dumplings and cauliflower bites 🥟🇨🇳🏮👍 🥢

Cover was only $10 and coat check $3, cash, which is reasonable.

We arrived around 11:30 and there was no line, the bouncers were very nice too.

We came here on a Friday night just to dance, the music was ok (mostly pop) but not the best to dance to. The crowd seemed to be having a good time though.
I liked the vibes, dimly lit with lanterns on the ceiling.

Would give this bar another go and try their food next time.

Randomly found out this hidden bar in China town on a Wednesday date night and had a mixed experience. The highlight of my visit was definitely the delicious tapas they offer. The food was not only good but also reasonably priced, making it a great value for the quality. The bar had a nice, inviting vibe, and the playlist added to the overall ambiance.

However, I must admit that the service left something to be desired. It could have been more attentive and prompt. If I were to return to Big Trouble Bar, it would likely be mainly for the fantastic food.

Dinner, drinks, dancing - Big Troubles got you covered and honestly, the food should not be slept on!

Asian inspired small plates, reasonably priced, and delicious! We literally enjoyed everything we ordered with the standouts being the bang bang shrimp spring rolls and the popcorn chicken. They have a relatively large menu with many unique dishes and you can bet I'll definitely be back to try some more!

Cocktail selection is also not lacking and drinks are made well for the price. Service was a little spotty but super nice and accommodating.

The evening dancing crowd starts to pick up relatively quickly after 8/9 so come earlier if you're looking for a more intimate meal in a funky, eclectic setting.

Love the vibes, love the ambience. The restaurant is kinda small with not a lot of tables. It becomes very lively later in the evening and transforms itself into a night club. Drinks are fantastic especially the Lychee Mojito and Jameson Herbal Tea! They definitely don't cheap out on the alcohol. Food was good and inexpensive, mainly finger food. I highly recommend the Popcorn Chicken Fries Supreme and the Bang Bang Shrimp. I'd advise coming early to avoid the line up!
