We went on Friday night, and the atmosphere was great right from the start. As the night went on, the place really started to fill up, especially after 11:30 when it got much livelier and more energetic. The crowd was a nice mix, and the vibe was perfect for a fun night out. One thing you absolutely have to try is the Bang Bang Shrimp — it’s hands down a fan favorite. The crispy, flavorful shrimp coated in that deliciously creamy, slightly spicy sauce is something everyone at our table couldn’t get enough of. It’s definitely a must-order dish

I’ve been to Big Trouble a few times now for different events. Visited on a Sunday night for some snacks.

The space is fairly intimate - mostly have the bar and DJ area at the back with the kitchen beside the bar. There are booths on either side of the main room and some tables with chairs in the centre. I do like the decor and vibe of the space, and I find that they seem to keep the place clean and take care of things well considering how long this place has been around and that it does function like a club too.

The food was decent, and I can see how they’d be nice to snack on with drinks mostly. I wouldn’t say that the food is the highlight.

I found the dumplings a bit tough. The kimchi brussel sprouts were okay but found them to be a bit too salty. I liked the flaky texture of the pastry for the curry beef pocket, but found it to be a bit greasy. The spicy glass noodles were okay. Spice level varies so much depending on which restaurant is making it or which cuisine you’re having, and I found this to be too spicy for me to enjoy. The lychee mojito was okay, but too sweet for my taste.

Love their vibes and music. I had such a great time here with my besties. Strongly recommended for group party or night outs in downtown Toronto

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.
