Chinatown BBQ

This place is HK meat deli heaven.
Very popular, lines out the door.
We had a group of 7 so they gave us their only round table in the back. Yay.
I found it funny that the waitress actually told us that we ordered too much food for our group size. Can't imagine down selling practice.
But she was right, even after we cut down our orders, we still had 2 boxes of leftovers.

Curry beef brisket with rice was so good, the curry had a kick to it but in a unique way, the HK way.
Whole roast duck was huge, perhaps it was a goose?
Roast pork was great.
Bbq pork was on par.

Service is excellent and so is the food. The roast pork skin has the right crunch and the fatty part just melt with the meat.
The roast duck is okay.
The beef brisket curry is not the kind they pour the curry sauce over. They cooked in it.
I'd come often if I was not an out of towner.

Quick service. Inside is a modern bbq shop. Food is excellent - I suggest dining in for the best experience. Get the fattier cut of bbq pork as the leaner one is too lean. The roast pork is so tender with a tender crunchy skin. The gai lan had a delicious garlic sauce over it.

We have since ordered takeout roast pork and bbq pork which was just ok. The cuts were not great (a mish mash of sizes and quality). Disappointing actually and not up to par with what I've had in the restaurant. Maybe it was just a bad day or inexperienced person at the counter.

So glad our first choice was not open for lunch otherwise I would not have discovered this great lunch and/or dinner option. Their roast meats like duck and pork are the best I've tasted and I am bias being chinese born in Honk Kong and raised in a traditional chinese environment in Los Angeles chinatown whose grandma was a great cook of authentic dishes and whose father was a chinese chef. I had the Roast Duck and Roast Pork with Rice noodle soup. The roast duck was lean and generous with a great seasoning predominant in the 5 spices. The roast pork skin was very crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The noodle soup was light and seasoned perfectly. A must stop when in Historic Chinatown in Vancouver BC!

I heard the Chinese food scene in Vancouver is poppin, so we decided to check this place out for some Chinese BBQ. We came in at around 12 PM on a Tuesday and it was pretty busy with both dine-in and takeout orders. My husband and I shared a plate - the BBQ pork, soy sauce chicken, roasted pork, and 1/2 salty duck egg over rice. We also had and order of the curry fish balls, which was on special that day. Everything was good. This is a good dish to order if you are just wanted to try all the meats. We weren't that full with what we had. I would say one of these plates would be a little too much for one person, but it's also just not enough for two people. Adding an extra meat would probably have been the perfect amount. We should have also ordered some duck, and then it would have been complete.

Overall, it was less oily than those of NYC's Chinatown, so that was a nice perk. In comparison, it is a bit more expensive than NYC, but I didn't really see a whole lot of good options for Chinese BBQ in the area. And unlike NYC, the service here was friendly (and quick). It's a good spot if you're looking for a quick sit down lunch spot.

Really solid Hong Kong Chinese bbq. There was a 30 minute wait at 2pm on a Saturday, but absolutely worth the wait. The staff does a fantastic job at efficiently serving the food and the tables free up fairly quickly. The duck was superb, roasted Chinese pork was tender and flavorful, the crispy pork was tender and the skin was perfectly crispy. If you want bbq goose need two days notice and whole suckling pig need six days notice, I am sure it is amazing. The gai lan with garlic oil was fantastic needed those vegetables to help balance the glutinous amount of meat we devoured. We ordered by the pound, but you can order combos that come with rice. The day we were there a film crew for CBC was filming their location, this place is definitely one of the must stops when in Chinatown.

One of the best Chinese duck/pork BBQ places I've had, and in a very retro-feeling store. Love all the pictures on the wall, outlining the history of Chinese immigrants in Vancouver?

Service was EXCEPTIONAL (esp for a Chinese restaurant, at least comparable in California) - the main guy who heads the restaurant (on the Sunday evening we came) is super attentive and sharp.

What we got: half duck portion, 2 types of pork BBQ - honey glazed and crispy, BBQ pork fried rice, Gai Lan, Jellyfish
- my favorite was the Crispy pork belly followed by the duck, but table favorite seemed to be the honey glazed pork
- also got the jellyfish, which was good but could have used a bit more kick! And usually prefer it to be a little smaller slices

Would DEFINITELY come back here when visiting Vancouver. It's hard to find a good sitdown specializing in this type of food in California

I love a good Chinese-style roast duck and roast pork, so with internet/Yelp search, I came across Chinatown BBQ. No, it's not the safest of areas in Vancouver, but just keep your head up, be aware, and come when it's daylight.

I visited on a Thursday for lunch at 11 AM when they open, so the restaurant was still empty. The black and white checkered floors, red chairs, and booth-style seating gave this place a diner-style vibe.

I ordered the roasted pork & BBQ duck rice plate (CA$16.50). I enjoyed the roasted pork more, as it was flavorful and juicy with very crispy skin. The duck was just ok, not very meaty, and I've had better. Rice was a generous portion, helping to soak up all the juices from the meats.

Service was quick. Clean restaurant and clean bathrooms. They also accept credit cards, which is surprising for a place in Chinatown! Overall Chinatown BBQ was good, and I recommend it if you're not too far from the area.

Wow, the food here lived up to expectations, which were high since this place had such good reviews.

The BBQ pork was the best I've ever had... and I've had a lot. The roast pork was tasty too, with a tasty super crispy skin. And the chicken was flavorful and tender.

They are lacking in vegetable dishes though, they had exactly one that I saw.

Place was cute, service was surprisingly good, they seemed very efficient,

This is a great spot for traditional Hong Kong bbq! The half roast duck, roast pork (with the crispy skin) and the Honey Glazed BBQ Pork were all excellent. Their fried rice was also very well made. We'll probably stop by for take out of just the meat in the future!
