    a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice
    Jeremy W.

    Value for the dollar is especially great to find. That's what offered here at this all around classic Chinese BBQ. We ordered their 3 item special, served with bbq pork, fried marinated tofu and lap cheong with veggies. The combo included a bowl of imitation sharks fin soup. All inclusive for $12.50. Most bbq rice combo plates are $12.50 - $14 with very generous portions. Local business. Cash Only.

    Food is good! Green onion ginger oil is $1 unless you are frequent customer like the lady in front of us. We bought the 2 items BBQ lunchbox, one lb of BBQ pork, and one chicken leg. They are all good and will recommend.

    3 bbq meat with rice: chau siu, soya chicken, and bbq duck

    My sister and I were waiting for HK bbq to open and once it opened, we decided to go there but it was closed because the bbq meats there were sold out )): We then decided to look for somewhere else and we found this hidden gem at Yaohan Centre. I ordered the 3 meat bbq combo with cha siu, soya chicken, and bbq duck for $12 to share with my sister. The flavors from their bbq were definitely dominant and smoky in a good way. It complimented the rice and the cabbage perfectly with the sauce from their meats and it definitely kept us full.

    Most expensive BBQ on earth.  It tastes like garbage

    There is no point in coming to this food court now that the Korean place closed next door. What a shame Oh and Datang BBQ express is terrible in every which way. Do not visit

    This was the worst duck I've ever eaten. Tastes really bad. The BBQ meat is dry/thin and the duck is full of sharp bones to gnaw on. They serve 20% meat and 80% rice drizzled in watered down soy sauce. I'd give 0 stars if I could.

    Datang is located in the food court of Yaohan Centre, re-opened under new owners couple months ago. I tried out their lunch today and it is awesome. Friendly service, reasonably priced and their BBQs are delicious. I think I'd be a regular from now on.

    I was never a big fan of Chinese BBQ until I went to this place. I've always thought Chinese BBQ is a bit boring except for Peking Duck. This place change all that. Despite the upside down duck, the chicken and the pig, I was mesmerized and curious about what these meat tasted like in my belly. I guess I was just hungry but I went in all the way. Service- employees were really nice but they gave too much rice. If you dare not to be fat, request that they only give you half of rice. There are lots of meaty combo. We opted for the pork bbq and duck. I added marinated duck egg for the win! The verdict: At $10 Canadian, I had one of the most memorable meal in Richmond! The pork belly was a total knock out! The skin was crispy, the pork was succulent and flavorful. The duck was the runner up. It was also delicious. The marinated duck egg is pretty much a boiled egg, shell was cracked and soaked on soy sauce concoction. Surprisingly, the bok choy didn't choke me. If you're Asian, you must have had a beef with the Choy's particularly with Bok. You order all of these with the sauce and savor it at the food court.

    Yummy BBQ Meats! Datang BBQ Express is located in Yaohan Centre. One would not expect great BBQ to come out of a vendor in a food court, but Datang has definitely defied that notion! I'm quite familiar with the BBQ shops in Richmond, and I have to say, Datang is definitely up to par! It's pretty impressive considering that it's located in food court. I ordered the BBQ duck and the marinated pork ribs and the portion size was just right! Both were delicious! The BBQ duck was tender, and the skin was flavourful and juicy. The pork ribs had been marinated very well, and had a deep, smokey flavour. The rice was long grain rice, which is my favourite! If you ask, they'll also drizzle some of the delicious sweet BBQ sauce on your rice! I'll definitely be back!

    Wow, this place is a GEM, I am so in love with the Rolls, I visited 2 days in a row, had to get…read moresome more rolls in before we leave BC, which was so sad! Hei Hei Rice Roll is legit good, totally recommend, even my daughter too, I thought of her ( since she LOVES rice roll and couldn't make it on this trip with me) while enjoying these roll but when I shared with her the photos and mention that we will go back here with her- she already visited. She said it was so good! Hei Hei Rice Roll is located at the Richmond Public Market, oh wow - this place is really popular, on the 2nd visit I was the first in line then the line wasn't so long but while waiting for our order, the line got super long. I was lucky I didn't wait long in line. Best to arrive early. I am not sure what the secret to the rice roll but Wow, it's so thin, silky, smooth texture with the toppings, so great together. The last 2 times we had rice roll with my daughter at Portland and Seattle- followed per Instagram reels- those did not even compare to these rolls. My first visit I got the combo which is the best deals, starts at $15.50 but depends on what you select for the selection for rice rolls and congee. I got the pork & preserved egg congee, shrimp, mushroom, pork rice roll. The 2nd visit I got the combo again, with liver & preserved egg congee, scallop and shrimp rice rolls, but I got my order wrong for the roll- they missed the shrimp. fyi-I found out that bean sprout, corn, toppings are free! Both combo came out to $17. super cheap! Cash only, they take USD but its the same dollar $ value. I wish they take credit cards, hehe. & the Verdict: Yummy, the congee hits the spot for comfort food, loved how it is cooked and they add peanuts too. Love the packet of sauce for the rice rolls, the umami-ness, so good. Best to eat it hot and fresh! Don't forget to ask for chili sauce, to add that extra spicy kick! For now, I am not sure I'll ever find a spot that is closest to Hei Hei for my congee and rice roll fix until I get to visit Richmond, BC again.

    No frills and worth the hype!…read more Our family of six arrived at 12 pm on a Tuesday. We waited approximately 25 minutes which is not bad at all considering how popular this small restaurant is. My mom is vegetarian and my girls had a wonton noodle soup lunch at another spot down the street. So we ordered a few things mainly for my dad, husband and myself: 1) Platter with barbecue pork and chicken (雙拼叉燒香油雞) 2) Half-order of roast duck (半隻脆皮燒鴨) 3) late of roast pork (燒肉) 4) Bowl of rice (一碗米飯) We cleared everything. The meats were juicy, tender, and flavorful. My girls are usually indifferent to Cantonese barbecued meats but they tried it and enjoyed everything as well. This is definitely a place to repeat if and when we revisit Vancouver.

    This was my family and wife's first stop in Vancouver and frankly, nothing has topped it yet…read more You're getting some of the best HK BBQ possible. They ran out of duck but do not fret because the soya chicken is where it's at. The soya chicken is incredibly tender, even the breast meat is tender. Secondly, it's perfectly marinated and if you dab a little of their homemade soy sauce, it's even better. Eat this with rice and you'll never want another meal in your life. This was easily our favorite dish for the place. Bbq pork and crispy pork are both spot on as well. They give generous and juicy cuts and the crispy pork is, well, crispy. The skin is a nice crunch and the meat is juicy, what more could you ask for? I still salivate and dream of the meat here and I wish we had something like this back in LA cause I don't know who else would make soy chicken as good as here. Cash only so come prepared! If you're a US tourist, they take USD as well but canadian is still the better deal.

What we ordered: Limited Gigantic snow crab 3lb with salted egg yolk sauce - highly recommended by staff Seafood fried rice Baked large beach oyster with four unique flavors. Highlight was definitely snow crab! Salted egg yolk sauce was great as usual, crab meat was so tender and sweet! I am glad to follow staff's advice. Presentation was good, too. Rice cake was chewy, soft and paired with sauce so well and so addictive. Seafood fried rice was also great! Clam was so juicy and delicious! prawn was nicely firm and very good. Ingredients were outstanding. And Baked beach oyster was also great item. Oyster paired with each unique different flavor(Forgot to ask what kinds of each flavor..), Oyster itself was very large and creamy. Highly recommend this item, too. Overall, our revisit to Fishman was another great experience. Restaurant was packed, No doubt this restaurant is very popular for long time.

    The one star is for the food. The service deserves zero stars…read more I have never experienced this kind of treatment in Canada before. Throughout our visit, the waitress directed almost all of her attention to my husband. She explained everything to him in detail while barely acknowledging me. I was left to read the menu and figure out what to order on my own. I also noticed the same behavior at other tables. She spoke primarily to the men while largely ignoring the women. Even after I placed the entire order for our table, she continued checking only with my husband about everything we needed. When it came to drinks, after the two men had placed their orders, she didn't even ask me if I wanted anything before walking away, as if I were invisible. At the end of the meal, after I paid the bill, she turned to my husband, smiled only at him, and completely ignored me. It was extremely impolite and made me feel disrespected. The food was good, but the service was the worst part of the experience. Based on how I was treated, it felt discriminatory. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and ensures that every customer is treated with equal respect.

    Decent Taiwanese spot in Richmond area. We usually go to Memory Corner for Taiwanese but decided to…read moretry something new. What's appealing here is that their Instagram advertises daily specials so you can get some dishes for a great discount (like 40% off). We tried the braised combo (pork ear, pork intestines, fish cake), Taiwanese egg wrap, braised pork sauce rice with deep fried pork chop, and yam taro mochi balls. The braised combo is pretty solid - I didn't really like the funkiness to the intestines (I generally enjoyed it in barbecue settings) but the fish cake was fantastic. I also liked the texture of the pork ears. The Taiwanese egg wrap was a bit tasteless, so I wouldn't recommend. Braised pork sauce rice is the lu ruo fan which is a large portion with seaweed, bean sprouts, and soup on the side. Pork chop was flavorful and juicy but not crispy batter, which is okay. Yam taro mochi balls were sweet and chewy. I don't like taro but I loved this dessert! Service is okay. They give a water jug for self pour but the water jug was of questionable cleanliness. The specials were not discounted so we called it out and we weren't told that we had to put the order with a server, not the QR code, so it was a strange interaction. They ended up honoring the discount. Also, they shut down ordering 1 min before 10:30pm - guess they didn't want more money as we wanted to order 1 more dish and they preemptively told the kitchen to close. Sure it's fine no big deal, it was a lot of food.

    Love this place! Despite the limited menu, each item was spot on…read more I had the beef congee, shrimp rice rolls, and donut rice rolls and popcorn chicken. Every was very good. Prices are like food court prices but restaurant quality level. The only thing that needs to be improved is service. For Sunday lunch time service, only 1 server was working the till, taking and serving orders, and grabbing the check. Everything slowed down considerably. You had to get your own napkins, sauce dishes, sauces, chili oil etc. so had to take 1 star away. But the quality of the food was enough to make it a 4 star review. The rice rolls were of the perfect texture. Generous servings too. The popcorn chicken was salty and savoury with friend basil As well. Very nice touch. I would repeat. Cheers! Happy eating!

The cold noodle fen pi was really good. Perfect amount of vinegar and savory. I wish there were more vegetables, so I'm not eating noodles 90% of the time.
