After browsing on my own, I found my dad but my mom was no-where to be seen. Shortly after, we discovered that she walked down the street to BBQ Express - I didn't even know this place existed and apparently my mom, who hardly ever comes to Calgary knew it existed - she must have had those BBQ duck senses.. Anyways, they are right next to a Vietnamese place and there's a parking lot available. It is exactly what their name is "Bbq express" - they offer BBQ Pork, BBQ Duck, Soya Chicken, Sausage, BBQ ribs, and even Roasted pig's head if you order in advance. When you enter, it smells amazing - delicious Chinese BBQ aroma. You can see all the meats through a glass shield where they are hanging. They only do takeout and only take cash. My mom had ordered half BBQ duck and a pound and a half of BBQ pork. You can select which hanging meat you want to be cut from. The duck is chopped into small pieces and I'm not sure if they cut the BBQ pork but we did ask for it to be cut as well, they also pour some sauce on the BBQ pork. Both orders filled a decent size styrofoam container and you are given a bag of soya sauce, duck sauce and some packets of plum sauce. When we got home, we put on a pot of rice and cooked up some vegetables to go with our protein. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM fresh rice with BBQ duck and pork is one of my favorite combos!! I especially love duck with plum sauce, DROOOLLLLL. The BBQ duck was really good...tender and fatty with a slight crisp on the skin, the BBQ pork was good too, a little tougher but still really tasty, the fatty parts are the best. BBQ Express is a really great place - if you want some reasonably priced delicious Chinese BBQ meats, this is the place to hit up! What a gem of a place if you need to pick up something to bring to a pot luck or if you want to pick up something for lunch/dinner that is quick and tasty. They offer a lunch box special until 3pm(?) which is any two meats with rice, duck is an additional cost because it's so darn good. They are open every day from 10am - 7PM except they are closed on Tuesdays. I can't stop thinking about the BBQ meats here, must go ASAP!!!!

I thought the setting of the restaurant was cute. It was very small. The small thing that threw me…read moreoff was where the bathroom paper towel was located.. (if and when you visit, you'll see what I mean) There wasn't a lot of options for BBQ, which I assumed that's what they're known for.. FOOD: I ordered the BBQ plate and my friends ordered the Yum Yum Chicken (Whole) and Beef Noodle Soup. I really liked the soup! Nothing too special about it but it was good. The chicken was really saucy and filling. Fyi, the size of the chicken wings/drums is big (I totes forgot to take a picture of how massive these chicken are. my bad, y'all)! And I thought the dishes that were included in the BBQ plate was just average. The only thing I enjoyed eating is the Shallot Chicken. It was a tad bit spicy but very good! But overall, I felt like the food could be better in a way, but it was good. I would recommend this place if you're looking for something filling. Not too expensive, and I think the prices are worth it.

Eh. There definitely…read morewasn't enough options. I didn't really see the BBQ part of this restaurant. It's small and kind of cramp. The decor and aesthetics of the place make me feel like a little kid. I wasn't okay with the paper towels being outside of the bathrooms (yuck). They're apparently know for their yum yum chicken, which was okay. It was $25 for 12 pieces but they're huge. Their noodles was also okay, but you either get a beef or kimchi option. The beef was good though! Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back here.

Wait time for food may vary depending on the hour you come in. At 9:30pm, your food may come out in 10 minutes like mine did. It may take longer and it may only be available for take out. I ordered the Sweet n Spicy BBQ 5pcs chicken set and it was delicious! The chicken was crispy and tender. The fries and salad were also great and complimented the chicken well. All-in-all, this was a GREAT value meal for under $20. Definitely satisfied my Korean Fried Chicken cravings and then some. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a great chicken spot!

But I think that's what makes the chicken so addicting (you definitely don't need sauces with this chicken). The ketchup that came on the side was good! Doesn't taste like regular ketchup.

When it got here, the air was filled with beautiful fried chicken. it was even better when we ate. Ordered: - Cheese Balls - interesting concept these cheese balls - reminds me of the consistency of the sesame laughing balls in chinese dim sum but savoury, not sweet. - Soy Garlic Chicken - Fried chicken glazed with soy garlic sauce - quite tasty - Sweet Potato Balls - similar to the cheese balls except made with sweet potato and cheese - Secret Sauced Chicken - Fried chicken glazed with their secret Korean sweet sauce - Yummy! Needless to say, my sister's birthday wish came true - she loved her Fried Chicken!! LOL

Dropped by this gem that was a short walk from the hotel -…read more I think portions for pricing was very fair - wish I also got the chicken - Anyways - service was slightly slow from the time you order and receive the food, however the food was super fresh, so I would assume it was basically made to order - so I think the wait was fine. It was pretty spacious with decent amount of seating , also a self serve water dispenser -the place is kept quite clean. Bulgogi Poutine really hit the spot, great flavours and fries was still crispy. Chicken Katsu bowl, was also very delicious - the mayo mixed nicely with everything. The bao buns, was pretty good as well - however the beef on this one was just a tad dry - I would re-visit to explore the menu again - if I find myself in Calgary again!

The Banchan/side dishes were enjoyable. Marinated soft boiled egg, cabbage salad, pickled cucumbers, tofu (delicious), kimchi, and pickled radish. Had 8 different cuts of meat and found the galbi, bulgogi and skirt steak to be tasty. Didn't enjoy the pork belly, but I rarely do, and found the spicy pork to be bland. Beef soup was delicious as was the egg casserole. Cheesy corn tasted a lot like canned corn. Wings were cooked perfectly and wished they had more of a kick. They were supposed to be sweet and spicy but I found them too sweet. Complimentary Mango crushed ice was inventively playful and a joy to eat. All of us tried it and thought it was light and not too sweet. Refreshing.

Plan a fun activity and then don't end up doing it because all you end up doing is grazing on this platter of magnificence (bahn mi fixings/bbq roasted meats and baguette slices), talking with beaming faces interspersed with sounds like "mmm" and "try the pate this time" and "oh wow". Phone ahead to order the large charcuterie bbq platter. Take 80 clams in cash, and say hi to Son who is a treat to deal with. I'm already drooling thinking of the next time...

The cold cuts looked so artisanal, with some slices so delicate, it reminds me of prosciutto. Unique and delicious. I'm a big fan of My Tho's pate. For me, this was a Goldilocks moment. The pate wasn't metallic or too subtle, it was just right. I like the creamy texture and peppery notes. I found the homemade butter mayonnaise spread light and tangy. Value-wise - this is one of the best priced banh mi's in Calgary! Each sub was stuffed with goodies. Check this gem out.
