As I stepped into this establishment, I was eager to indulge in a culinary experience that would leave a lasting impression. Regrettably, my enthusiasm was short-lived, as the service was downright abysmal. The server, seemingly overwhelmed by the demands of her role, rushed me through the ordering process with all the finesse of a hurried commuter. I was barely afforded the opportunity to peruse the menu, let alone acquaint myself with the ambiance. But the true travesty lay in the cuisine itself. The spring rolls, ostensibly a staple of this eatery, were an unmitigated disaster. Frozen, rather than freshly prepared, they arrived at my table with a chilly, unappetizing center. The sheer redundancy of serving frozen spring rolls is a culinary faux pas of monumental proportions. Furthermore, the dining area itself was in a state of disarray. The floor, littered with detritus and stains, seemed to have been neglected for an inexcusable amount of time. The overall ambiance, far from being welcoming and inviting, was instead redolent of a neglected, rundown establishment. In light of these egregious transgressions, I implore the management to take immediate action to rectify these issues. A thorough overhaul of the service staff, a revamping of the culinary offerings, and a meticulous cleaning of the dining area are the bare minimum required to salvage what remains of this restaurant's reputation. Failure to do so will inevitably consign this establishment to the culinary graveyard, a fate that, based on my experience, it would richly deserve.

As someone who grew up on HKBBQ - this place is legit, no nonsense. Best in the options across Chinatown hands down. My parents and their siblings ate here when they immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong. Classic HKBBQ, exactly how it should be, plain and simple. Their Char Siu (bbq pork) and Siu Yuk (roast pork) are essential and good. We’ve bought it in huge platters for parties and it’s well loved. I do like their roast duck and soy chicken as well but I’d say they aren’t as good as the porks. I usually get these on a bowl of rice noodles with soup. Can’t get any better than that. The prices are good. Cash/debit only - as it should be for HKBBQ. In fact, I love this place so much that we took our engagement photos here.

I have never seen such bad behavior. In fact, I have known that the master chef of his barbecue has gone to another store a long time ago, but I will patronize it because of the convenience of the location. The service attitude is almost the same. I ate at his restaurant today. I kept having diarrhea after eating, and it turned into dysentery! Still in the emergency room! Definitely avoid going to this place, for your own safety

Consistent quality cheap Chinese BBQ. BBQ pork and roast pork is always good here but I’ve had two instances where the duck was extremely gamey- it was clearly not properly cleaned and I couldn’t eat it at all. However, the duck was fine again when I recently tried it, but just beware of this inconsistency.

Ideal for quick bites and small groups.
Vegetarian options: Limited
Kid-friendliness: Toilet staircase is steep

【Lightning protection! 】【Too long to read version: The food hygiene in this store is particularly bad. The food in this store has given me diarrhea twice in a row. 】
I have read other negative reviews, but they are all innocuous. What I want to talk about now is the most important and fatal issue, which is food safety and hygiene. What I want to say is that the hygiene of this store is very, very poor.
My experience is that buying chicken from this store twice in a row caused me diarrhea. The last time was a few months ago, when I bought plain-cut chicken and got diarrhea within an hour after taking it home. I was sure that the white-cut chicken in this store caused my diarrhea, because I only ate a few slices of whole-wheat bread besides the white-cut chicken during that time, and I ate that batch of whole-wheat bread at other times. No diarrhea after bread. It is for this reason that my impression of this store dropped sharply, causing me to not visit this store again in the next few months.
But last Friday (November 1, 2024), when I passed by this store in Chinatown, I planned to go into this store to buy some cooked food for some unknown reason (later experience told me that I should not give this store any more at that time) store any opportunity). Coincidentally, this time I discovered one of the important reasons why the food in this store is unhygienic. I ordered a soy sauce chicken (the one in the picture receipt for $18), and I watched the male chef (the one responsible for cutting the roast pork) grab the soy sauce chicken with his bare hands, without any gloves. , then put the chicken on the chopping board, cut it, put it in a lunch box and packed it for me. At that time, I watched him grabbing cooked food with his bare hands without wearing gloves, and I began to doubt that I might have diarrhea again after eating this time (unfortunately, my guess turned out to be correct), but I also wanted to give this store A chance (probably because it has been several months since I last had diarrhea after eating food from this restaurant, as the saying goes "the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten"), so I comforted myself by saying that maybe his hands were washed and hygienic. But what I saw next shocked me even more. After he put the cut soy sauce chicken into the lunch box, I also completed the payment and was about to walk out of the store with the food. At this moment, I saw the male chef touching the rag on the countertop with his hand! ! ! If the rag is used to clean the countertop, then it must be very dirty. Taking a step back, even if the rag is not used to clean the countertop, but is specially used to wipe his hands, the wet rag is also very dirty. It is easy to breed various germs. Although I saw him touching the rag after he grabbed my cooked food with his bare hands, I can infer that this is his habit, so he must have touched the piece of dirt that was full of germs before he grabbed my cooked food with his bare hands. of rags. Because of his poor hygiene, the germs on that dirty rag were indirectly transferred to my cooked food, whether he did it unconsciously or he was deliberately trying to frame me. Even though I was very shocked when I saw this scene, the introverted me still pretended to be fine on the surface, and I was even more embarrassed to tell the store about it in person. I just took this soy sauce chicken home.
Originally, I didn't want to reveal this on Google Maps, if my body didn't have any adverse reactions after eating this time. But unfortunately, I had diarrhea again after eating this time. This time I ordered a whole soy sauce chicken, which was divided into two boxes. I also divided it into two days. I didn't have half of what I ate that day, so I immediately put it in the freezer of the refrigerator for storage after I got home. It was also wrapped tightly in a bag to prevent the germs in the refrigerator from being transmitted to food. As for the half I ate that day, my bod
Generally pretty consistent. We live close by so we come here for our Chinese BBQ needs. It’s not the best we’ve ever had but it does the job every time. Would recommend!
One of the few remaining Chinese BBQ meat places in Chinatown. If you want authenticity, come here! The value is very good and the portion sizes are big. Service is quick and efficient.

I've been there before a few times, but not recently. Went on a Saturday for 1.25 pounds of roast pork for $17 takeout, and it just wasn't good. Nothing like the photos other people posted. Not much roasted skin, and pretty dry since it was a lean cut. At least on this trip it wasn't as good as before, and Unfortunately, I don't see myself trying it again here for a long time.

I got my dish within a couple minutes of ordering, and the food was kinda cold. It tasted awful. I asked the lady to warm it up, and she puts it in the microwave. And it still tastes awful 🤮. I got the bbq duck on rice. Who knows how old it was, it tasted like it had gone bad. I would hard avoid.
I asked for the bill, lady gave me the receipt and left without saying anything. 5 minutes lates I raise my hand to call her and she says to pay at the cashier...could have told me earlier
