Good food troublesome area, duck was good, service good.fff jjj kkklllgggggggggggghhhhhg

Not going to lie - I didn't have high expectations for this place but OMG the crispy pork belly is WORTH the hype. I think that was the best I've actually ever had. And our server was so warm and welcoming, even though my friends & I were full, we still went in for the meats because our server was that great. "Just come in for some tea!" he said and the rest was history. Well worth every penny! read more

Great Chinese bbq right in the heart of Chinatown, get there early as there's not alot of seats, however you are give the choice for companion seating with guests. We got the four treasure to allow us to try different meats, chicken was very flavorful, but that crispy pork was so good with a nice crunch from the skin. The broccoli was the veggie of choice and did not disappoint, that garlic on the top was so good. Great Lunch!!!! read more

This restaurant was top on my list! I was so glad we came here after a long hike because we were starving. We tried the bbq pork, boiled chicken, and soy sauce chicken with their egg fried rice. The egg fried rice was perfection, I could taste the wok flavour and felt every granule of rice. My favourite of the proteins was the soy sauce chicken then the bbq pork. The boiled chicken had some ginger scallion sauce on top and it gave the tender chicken some flavour. However, I felt that there could've been more flavour. The servers were nice and accessible. They gave us a side of chili oil that tasted great. I would definitely come back! read more

We sat down to delicious warm logan black tea. The menu is relatively small but on point. Fast and attentive service. We really enjoyed both the 3-meat platter and fried rice. The restaurant could have been an Irish pub, or an old school deli... somehow it works! read more

Chinatown BBQ - Has a diner feel to it... - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The food was pretty good. The service is simple and the waiters do provide suggestions. I was a little underwhelmed because I come from an area with tons of Chinese bbq. The food was ok but the price was pretty high. I can get the same meal in my area for less (Oakland and San Francisco). If you want BBQ and you're in the area then go and try. Restaurant was clean and efficient. The street felt deserted and a couple of streets over it was filled with a lot of fentanyl users. Like I'm said I'm from the Bay Area and even I was shocked by the amount of users. It was sad. read more

How did I not know about Chinatown BBQ until now?! I've found my new holy grail because this is hands-down the best BBQ duck and BBQ pork I have ever had! We started with a plate of the BBQ Duck, and it was absolute perfection--packed with so much lean, incredibly flavorful meat. Then we ordered the Signature Four Treasures Chef's Plate on Steamed Rice. Talk about a masterpiece! It comes with BBQ Pork, Soy Sauce Chicken, Roasted Pork, and half a Salty Duck Egg. Honestly, every single element was so delicious that I genuinely couldn't pick a favorite. To top off an already amazing meal, their black lychee tea was out of this world. I loved it so much I actually asked if I could buy some to take home! They don't retail it, but the staff was so sweet and told me, "You can drink as much as you like here." Challenge absolutely accepted! The staff kept it perfectly topped up the entire time. Excellent food, wonderful service, and all the cozy, classic vibes. More cha cha cha please! I will definitely be back. read more

Went with a large group during a weekday and they were able to accommodate our walk in group. Food was great - although I would say the price point was slightly higher but all the dishes - roasted duck, roasted bbq, crispy pork, chicken - everything tasted fresh and did not fall short Service was super attentive Ambiance was good felt like the theme was on point I think I would do take out if not on a special occasion :) read more

If anyone is craving for some yummy classic Chinese BBQ meats, highly recommend coming here :) Visited this place with a group of friends for lunch. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and everyone left with a food coma. Things to Note: -Parking: Limited to street only -Time: We came during peak lunch hours and waited over an hour. Highly recommend coming early morning or after the main lunch time if you don't want to wait. -Service: Shoutout to the lovely and friendly host who helped keep the queue orderly and making sure everyone was taken care of. He was super attentive to everything from the beginning to the end. -Food Ordering: If you're waiting in line, definitely try to place your food order with the host. By the time you get your table, food should be coming out soon after. Worked well for my group since we didn't wait too long for our feast. -Food Portion: If you're in a group of 4+ and want to sample a bit of every meat, I do suggest going with ordering the small plate vs the platter. For my group of 5, we ended up eating almost all of our dishes and it was the perfect portion. -The Meats: Ordered 1 of each meat off the menu and wowzer! Everything was super yummy, and most notably the crispy pork and the Hong Kong BBQ pork. - Sides: Also ordered the Brisket curry and caí lan with garlic crisp. Curry was delicious with the softest & most tender brisket and the veggie dish was a nice side to all the meats. In summary, Chinatown BBQ is a solid 5/5 for me for the meats and cheers to supporting small local businesses :) read more

Another IG worthy spot in Chinatown and great for entertaining out of town guests because of its traditional decor and excellent service. No reservations taken here so my tip is to visit on a non rainy day to avoid waiting in the rain. Also, it is much more pleasant to experience walking around Chinatown when not raining. As for food, I can honestly share that there are other places in Richmond, Vancouver and Burnaby that serves authentic HK style BBQ meats. Yet, this place is unique where it's photo ready and offers great service, which is ideal choice for out of town visitors if you already have plans to tour around Chinatown. 3-5 pm happy hour from Tues to Fri could be another good time to visit during your Chinatown tours where you can get a taste of their BBQ meats and pair it with a drink = awesome East meets West experience! read more

This is a revived institution and revived well. I don't know for sure if I ever went to the original but I really love this place. The service was amazing,.. which almost does NOT seem authentic for Chinatown but I like it :) Tasty BBQ options, I liked it all but honestly it was the interior with historic photos and plaques that made it special for us. Chinatown has importance even for those of us 2nd generation Vancouverites that don't have direct Chinese heritage and this place embodies my childhood memories and all the right ways May this place be here forever even if it is a reboot. read more

One of my favorite places to get roasted pork and a mandatory stop every time I visit Vancouver. They get quite busy during lunch but are super efficient. After ordering, food comes quickly, and unlimited tea refills. Food is good, but their tea is AMAZING and so fragrant and they are not stingy about refills. I love that the roasted pork is not very salty (a common pitfall of many places) and the skin is so crispy. Their menu is simple and flavors are traditional. Nothing experimental here. Just classic good quality food. I prefer my roasted pork less fatty so I requested that (they said they couldn't promise it, totally understandable) but they made it happen! Restaurant feels clean. Parking can be a hassle at times since it's mostly street parking. read more

Chinatown BBQ - Gai Lan w/ Crispy garlic - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

October 25, 2026 - I took a week trip for a vacation and to try out the cuisine in Vancouver. We were looking for something to eat on the first day and I was looking online to see what the best restaurant in Vancouver's Chinatown was. Chinatown BBQ was the one that was highly recommended. We got the following dishes: - Signature four treasures chefs plate on steamed rice (BBQ Pork, Soy Sauce Chicken, Roast Pork, 1/2 a salty duck egg) - 2 x BBQ meat on steamed rice: BBQ Duck and roast pork Soy Chicken and Roast Pork - Gai Lan with roasted garlic crisp oil The restaurant was packed when we got there, which is always a good sign. Overall the food was really good. The meats were very flavourful, rich, and sauced very well. It is very similar to Toronto quality Chinese BBQ. My only complaint was the sauce on the Gai Lan was a bit salty. My mom's complain was the redness coming from the bone of the chicken. Our lovely server, Bobby, explained that's how the chicken was made and that it was safe to eat. He was saying that's the Chinese style of cooking the chicken. Bobby was an extremely welcoming server as he took the time to explain it and provided my mom with a complimentary soy chicken leg in which he blow torched and cooked all the way through for my mom. Overall, the food was really good and it lived up to expectations. read more

I've been in Vancouver for 5 days and this was the first poor experience in customer service I have received during my trip. The server took orders from four tables that were seated after us. I approached the server and he didn't seemed phased by it. Would not recommend unless you really want this food! read more

This place doesn't even deserve one star. I wouldn't recommend it. The chicken was dry, the roasted pork was way too fatty, and the noodles had no flavor. Nothing tasted authentic at all. I have no idea why they call it authentic Chinese BBQ. Last but not least, the waiters weren't very friendly, and the service and overall attitude were just strange. Interestingly, they seemed very friendly to English-speaking customers. It felt like they assumed we didn't speak English, so they treated us differently. It's disappointing because they're Chinese, just like us, yet they seemed to treat non-Chinese customers better than their fellow Chinese. read more

I love the food, ambience and service but the guy managing seating seems like he's had a lot of coffee. When I arrived, he made me stand outside when the restaurant was half empty and handed me a menu like I was gonna order while I'm standing outside and then when I came in was talking to me like it's my first time at a restaurant and I've been to this restaurant more than a dozen times. read more

Food was fantastic. Great service. Good value for the money. Would recommend this restaurant

Service was warm and outstanding from the moment we walked in--we were greeted right away, and our tea and water were refilled without even asking. We felt genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. My husband ordered the BBQ pork rice plate, which was lean and flavorful, though next time we'd probably go for the marble cut for more richness. I had the half roast duck and half roast pork combo, and we added a side of garlic gai lan (Chinese broccoli), which was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. We truly enjoyed everything we ordered and would highly recommend this spot if you're visiting Vancouver's Chinatown! read more

Still great and my favourite place for siu yuk in town. Oscar and Bobby treat customers so well, and make you feel very at home, keeping your cups full and tea hot, anticipating needs like great hosts. First time bringing my kids and didn't realize how much my oldest would love the fried rice so that was delightful. read more

We had very good bbq pork (char siu)and crispy roast pork( sui yuk) , and Chinese sausage (lap chung) white rice and Chinese broccoli (gailan) with oyster sauce. Pricing was very reasonable. Chinese tea is served complimentary. There are many other drinks to choose from are available. Tip: go early they close at 8:00 but run out of food much earlier and there your choices will be limited. They open at 4:00 pm. They have roast duck, soy chicken etc but not an extensive menu. Service was very good but limited amount of tables. A line forms outside on busy days. The restaurant appears clean and efficient with photos of previous owners or ancestors. Parking can be difficult since it is street parking. There are parking lots at Keefer and Columbia and the restaurant is a short walk from there to East Pender. read more

A Must-Try Spot in Vancouver's Chinatown! I came here on a recommendation, and wow--it did not disappoint! I've never had soy sauce chicken so silky and flavorful. The roasted pork belly was the perfect combo of juicy and crispy, and the Gai Lan was cooked just right--tender with a nice bite. The fried rice was packed with flavor and tied everything together beautifully. This place has truly mastered the art of Chinese BBQ. If you're craving a solid BBQ plate, this is the spot. I really enjoyed everything we ordered and would highly recommend stopping in if you're visiting Vancouver's Chinatown. read more

Being a fan of all things Chinese bbq, we decided to check out Chinatown BBQ in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown district. For myself, I got the combo of crispy pork belly and the bbq pork. Both were tasty but the pork belly was a bit of the drier side. It needed a sauce of some sort. I asked if they had Chinese hot mustard but all they had was regular mustard. We also got a some Chinese sausage on the side which was tasty as well. My friend got the duck, and I wasn't a big fan. Didn't have much flavor to it. From a price point perspective it's not an inexpensive meal. Based on taste and flavor I thought it was average compared to what I get back home in the Bay Area. I think if it's what you are craving though, it'll hit the spot. read more

Got takeout not expecting much from this spot, but I was so impressed by the quality and portion of the food! Their soy sauce chicken is authentic and so delicate and juicy. Sometimes chicken tends to be dry, but this one was so tender and had such perfect seasoning. The rice was soft and it came with the classic ginger-scallion sauce as well as their sweet soy. Will definitely be back! read more

I got the 1/2 size BBQ duck. It wasn't beijing styled peking duck, but it had their own flavor to the duck without the wraps, hoisin sauce, and green onions. The served us lychee-black tea during the meal and I was quite surprised! The food itself was good, not anything crazy special but I give it a 5 star because the service was amazing. Greeted at the door, checked in on multiple times, offered tea multiple times, and even opened the door for us at our exit. It made me feel at home and cozy. read more

A Gastronomic Awakening in Chinatown! You don't truly know until you go--and now that I've been, I'm haunted. As I write this, I am literally still dreaming of the Hong Kong Style BBQ Pork. It didn't just "eat" well; it dissolved into a decadent, sweet, fatty puddle of pure bliss. Walking in, the vibe is quintessential Chinatown: a bustling counter, a glass case showcasing glistening roasted treasures, and a seating area that trades fancy decor for pure, functional authenticity. We were clearly out of our element, probably looking like deer in headlights, but the staff met our confusion with warm smiles. Then came Bobby--the absolute heart and soul of this place. We walked in expecting the standard American-Chinese routine, but Bobby whisked us away to a cozy table and treated us like family. He started us off with a fragrant jasmine tea so naturally sweet and floral it didn't need a grain of sugar--perfect for a biting winter night. While we flirted with the Happy Hour menu, Bobby took the reins. You don't say no to a man with that much charisma and passion! On his expert recommendation, we pivoted to the Two-Meat Combo (BBQ Pork + Soy Chicken) with a side of their famous Roast Duck. The food arrived in a lightning-fast 10 minutes, but the real treat was Bobby's play-by-play on how each dish was prepared. You can taste the pride in every bite. The balance was masterclass: a symphony of sweet, salty, and umami. The meats were succulent, the skins were shattery-crisp, and the glazes were perfectly sticky. The undisputed heavyweight champion, however, was that Hong Kong BBQ Pork. Imagine the best "burnt ends" of your life, drenched in a caramelized, mouth-watering sauce that demands your full attention. We left Chinatown BBQ feeling more than just sated--we felt enlightened. If you're looking for a "one in a million" meal, let Bobby order for you. You won't regret it. read more

Unbelievable. Came here on a whim. Not a huge menu, but straight to the point. The noodle soup was bland and boring. Should've stuck with rice. The char siu and soy sauce chicken were both cooked perfectly, moist and flavorful. The green scallion sauce was not necessary but it was still delicious ! Would've been great over rice. The extra fatty char siu the server gave me to try was over the top! Perhaps the best char siu I've had to date. My server, Bobby? Did a fantastic job and was very informative and I can tell he really likes what he does thru his enthusiasm read more

It was recommended to try the Four Treasures sampler and a vegetable. The suggestion was perfect for two people. The food was great and quite filling. Two small grievances however.

Not sure why I never ate here but it was surprisingly bright, beautifully decorated followed by amazing service. The roast pork was fresh and crispy, the roast duck was not at all fatty and bbq pork nicely roasted and not too sweet. Top that all off, the Chinese tea kept coming. Our cups were never empty or cold. This place is just outstanding for the area. The "we hope to see you again" as we walked out sealed the deal. We definitely will soon! read more

TLDR: Coming from Seattle, we always stop here when we come up to Vancouver. The food is authentic, fresh, and tasty! It gets busy and parking can be a pain, but it is definitely worth it. Food: We love their roast pork specificially, always having a great fat to meat ratio with crispy skin. Their curry brisket was also good but I think our favorite is still the roast pork. The gai lan with crispy garlic was very yummy with the gai lan being cooked perfectly. Service: The staff here is great, there are 2 gentlemen in particular who I think are the managers and are extremely friendly. Their tea is amazing and they'll never let your cup be empty! Ambiance: The interior of this place is amazing. As per usual when you walk in you see the array of bbq, but when you sit down and look around the decorations are very authentic. Price: Great value and fair prices read more

We stopped here for an early dinner. Service was great with recommendations given for a solid dinner. We selected roast pork and soy chicken, BBQ pork fried rice and broccoli. The sauce on the broccoli was so salty and delicious. It's a leafy broccoli which I've never had and I really enjoyed it. The roast pork and soy chicken were flavorful and delicious. But the star of the show was the BBQ pork fried rice. I LOVE pork fried rice. And this... was the best I've ever had. It was simple, velvety, and perfect. It needed no extra soy, it was literally just so good. We left none behind and I could eat it every day. read more

Old school (vintage style) Cantonese BBQ place on Pender. Parking here isn't that great. Try the side streets E of Main. The business itself isn't actually that old, but they sure do a good job of making it look like it's been around forever. Vintage posters on the wall, and very dated furniture and interior. Pretty cool actually. Staff are friendly and very efficient. Buddy and I arrived close to closing time, so they told us straight up that our eating time would be limited as they start clearing the tables at a set time. Not a problem. Because we were at the end of the day, they were also out of certain BBQ meats. I ended up going for the curry brisket rice. Tasty comfort food. Somewhat decent portion size. Tasted exactly as expected. Beautiful. I'll be back to try their BBQ goodness at some point. read more

Going to mom and pop restaurants like Chinatown BBQ brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood. Rows of duck and bbq pork hanging by the window and you're greeted by rich smells of food. Residents come for one thing, and that's the food. We are visiting out of town, and as I walked by I knew immediately that I had to try this place out. I ordered the duck and soy chicken combo, while my partner ordered the pork and duck combo with a side of Gai Lan for health lol. We enjoyed every bite, the duck and chicken were nice and succulent with the perfect crispy skin often associated with Peking duck. It pairs so well with the side sauces. I believe the sauces are plum sauce and a ginger, garlic and green onion sauce. The rice really soaks up all the rich broth. The Gai Lan was nice and crunchy. The service was excellent, we had a nice waiter with a warm and friendly demeanor. We were immediately served with this fragrant hot tea. Ambiance: it's quite open indoors and can seat many people. The menus are laminated to the tabletops. I would beware the floors, it can be quite slippery. read more

I never knew this place existed despite coming to Vancouver for 26 years!!!! Chinatown (E Hastings) always rubbed me the wrong ways even way back in 2000, it was rough then but gotten worse. But am I glad I got to try this "gem"...Crispy skinned pork was very fine, as good as it comes. Duck, just so so. Curry Brisket, daughter loved it, as in ate most of it by herself w/ rice, that kind of love. Char Sui Pork, also pretty good. What impressed most: the service for take out, like a well oiled machine, clean, efficient and very polite (which is rare). Definitely will be back next time I am back in this beautiful city. read more

First time here on a rainy weekend - Chinatown is pretty transit friendly - but there is plenty of street parking areas as well - The decor here is pretty nice - the plates and such looked like the ones i grew up with haha - i like the little lights on the walls - Service team was very friendly - and made recommendations on what to try for your first time experience there - I'm no stranger to Chinese BBQ meats - so i went for the "4 treasures" to get the most variety - i slightly regret it lol. - Roast pork - was good, not overly salty and has a nice crisp to it - Soy Chicken - nice and soft - melt in your mouth - probably one of the better chickens I've had in awhile. BBQ Pork - this one was slightly a miss for me - tasted a little underwhelming and some pieces were pretty dry - 4th treasure was the salted duck egg - this was a big no for me - very dry - weird tasting , but maybe the duck eggs just aren't my thing! They have amazing scallion oil! - Will go again if in the area - read more
