I'm still searching for the place in the lower mainland that has the best chinese bbq items. I'm referring to like bbq pork, soy chicken, roast pork & stuff. Who is the best that you guys have tried. I'm not really concerned with the prices, just whomever is the tastiest and juiciest! I find alot of places there meats are really dry! I've had it mostly at TNT, the one in Metrotown seems to make the best bbq items compared to their other locations! Some places don't serve you the soy sauce or au jus dripping sauce for dipping or give you the green onion with ginger sauce that is so important to eat these things with!

Also, I love hainanese chicken, and was wondering if anybody found a good place for that too?

Ohh HK BBQ Master, I seen it once while I was at the superstore there, but never knew it was good. I will sure to try that place!

I go to the car sticker/accessories place in aberdeen mall alot (the one besides H-mart), and I will make sure to go upstairs to try the hainanese chicken at Cafe D'lite Express for sure! :D

[miss_crayon]

BBQ Meats; HK BBQ Master. Kam Gok Yuen was my favorite in Chinatown before they burned down though.. :(

Hainanese chicken: City 1 Cafe on Oak/King Ed next to the Safeway. I was just there today actually cause I was craving it. Cafe D'lite isn't bad either. I just wish Mama Lee's (on Broadway) had better service..

[TypeRNammer]

For BBQ Pork it's BBQ Master hands down.

It's pricier than other places but for a good reason!

[zilley]

mamalee aint bad.

[Gnomes]

I'm a real fan of Chong Lee. Roasted pork is slightly cheaper than most places yet more delicious than most. BBQ pork (Cha sui) is godly ONLY if you ask to pour some of the 'soup' onto it (the cha sui soup has BBQ duck fat dripping into it). Their BBQ pork does not have the 'left over' taste even after a couple of nights in fridge.

[dlo]

mama lee is pretty trash now.. went recently and it was juss bad..
hk bbq master is the best for chinese bbq haha

[Groot]

mamalee stingy af lol just go cafe d'lite at the food court. owned by the same ppl..

[6793026]

Mama Lee is really "ma ma day" *sorry for the stupid joke. It did say their service suck due to low level of staff so I gave them that.

The chicken wasn't that epic, yes it's boneless but there was nothing special about it. I do like it when I get pickled dicon and carrots and some salty nuts to go with it and all they had was just cucumber.

The rice is NOT oily which I was impressed. It did a good taste to it but when you get "yellow oil rice" you expect it to be flavored with depth and a tad of oil.

I'm not bashing mamalee, cause to be honest, I haven't tried making it myself. just wouldn't bother going there for it.

Prata-Man Singapore Cuisine in Richmond woudl be my choice for hainanese chicken.

[winson604]

BBQ Master, of course no doubt so I won't talk much on them.

My other favorite place is Master Hung BBQ. Soy chicken is their specialty but their BBQ Meats overall are solid. It's overall a great place to eat in general.

Prata-Man Singapore Cuisine in Richmond woudl be my choice for hainanese chicken.

saw them clipping nails in the kitchen one time years ago and never went back :heckno:

my favourite is Coco Hut in Union Square, good price + quality, Cafe D'Lite flavour is a little strong for me

[guurl]

bbq at bbq master in richmond where superstore is
i still like the hainan chicken and rice at mui garden better than mama lee

[Galactic_Phantom]

Parker Place's chinese bbq (the one next to hsbc) is also pretty good. Plus, they have whole BBQ gooses for sale (you might have to order in advance), something most places don't have

[jinxcrusader]

Isn't the place on Main that's famous for their curry brisket rice also pretty popular for Haianese chicken? What was it called? Mui Garden?

[Groot]

Coco hut just needs a better chili sauce

[gawesome]

That's on victoria drive and 41st. I go there all the time for the curry brisket and hainan chicken since I live close by.

[Ikkaku]

+1 for coco hut as well!


That's on victoria drive and 41st. I go there all the time for the curry brisket and hainan chicken since I live close by.

There are multiple locations, including one in Richmond.

[Expresso]

Is there recipes for the red sauce?

[MASTER_J]

I wasn't impressed with Mamalee, I like Mui Garden better.

For bbq meats other than bbq master, Lee Loy in Chinatown is pretty money

[Teriyaki]

Odd no one has brought up John 3:16 Malaysian Delights. Very hole in the wall place, but I love their hainanese chicken.

[red_2]

IMO BBQ Master has gone way down hill...pork is very porky tasting and the duck is always burnt.

I tried a new place (don't know the name) but its like right next door to Richmond Sushi and it recently opened. Very high quality in BBQ meat and its my go to spot. Moist cha siu and crisp (not burnt) BBQ duck and roast pork that has a clean flavour and super crunch to it.

For hainanese chicken Aberdeen food court is probably one f the best in town.

[guurl]

what does porky tasting mean? it is pork after all

+1 on City 1 Cafe

Way better than Cafe D'lite and Mama Lee's IMO

[MuranoGO-15]

Thanks guys, I'm going to hit HK BBQ Master soon (next week) and I really want to try the City 1 Care hainanese asap! But I'm making a list of all the ones you guys mentioned, and will hit them 1-by-1 :)

[meowjinboo]

You know I went to this place next to parker that has some type of salty chicken, or hainanse chicken that was pretty good.

I think it was called choi house salty chicken.

was pretty good.

[etodac]

If I want to order hainanese chicken or bbq items for Christmas Eve, do you think I need to preorder?

[corollagtSr5]

Isn't the place on Main that's famous for their curry brisket rice also pretty popular for Haianese chicken? What was it called? Mui Garden?

Maybe it was hawkers? I used to love their hainanese chicken there with their ginger chili sauce until they changed ownership. Doesn't taste the same, but I also haven't been back for a long time. Maybe someone here wants to give it a go.

[winson604]

Probably not but I would probably expect them to be busier than usual especially BBQ Meat places so if you don't inquire about pre ordering, go earlier.

jinxcrusader - yes, Mui Garden is/was also famous for their H Chicken but Mui Garden is a thing of the past. When they were at their peak there wasn't as many places around, a fair bit but not like now. I recently went to the Richmond one which is the first time I've been to any Mui Garden since my Teens (I'm 33 now) and you can tell a place has gone fucking down hill when the Awards for Best this and that on their walls are from over 10 years ago lol. To me that always signals "used to be good but not anymore". Needless to say, my meal sucked hard, had the "go to" items and I could have gotten better going practically anywhere else. I'm sure some of the other locations might be better i.e. Main but either way that was the last time I'm eating there ever.

[Verdasco]

got BBQ pork from BBQ master near superstore in richmond, fucking burnt as a cigarette , never going again.


Continental BBQ on 5 and cambie is way better, and parker place BBQ place

[Jer3]

was pretty good.

this place use to be good a few years ago when they actually cut slices off the chicken. afterwards, they started cheaping out by shredding the chicken, giving you less meat and increasing the price by a dollar or 2. its still a decent choice but not as worth it as before.

[MuranoGO-15]

I remember Mui Garden! When I lived Downtown, I used to order from them alot. Those guys who worked there and did deliveries, use to drive real nice cars, and were at the races back in the day too. Why did Mui Garden go out of business? Not only they had nice hainanese chicken, but they also had a nice roti and curry sauce too!!!

I'm glad someone had a similar experience. :lol

Is this their niche or was I just unlucky? :QQ:

quality is going to shit, my experience was only a few weeks ago ResidentSleeper

[TOPEC]

oh that HK bbq master place under superstore reminded me of one of my experiences

i went in asked for 1 LB of BBQ pork and half BBQ duck. i heard the guy started chopping the BBQ pork and while i was paying, i heard the cashier YELL at the butcher DONT CHOP IT! im like wtf? didnt think much of it cus i thought she was talking about another order

went home, opened the food and found half my BBQ pork not chopped...

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11057843_10152949377318411_8351062222025823362_n.j pg?oh=bdde45eefc253a16d4f35462dccecca9&oe=57107B1D

then i found this new place, Kowloon BBQ or something, same plaza as the return it depot on westminster hwy. the butcher claims he uses pork jowl meat for his BBQ pork, and yes indeed its fking soft n juicy, unlike other places where its dry and hard like cardboard. it is a somewhat hit and miss tho, sometimes the BBQ pork is really good, sometimes just soso, but still better than HK BBQ MASTER

[guddagudd]

yea I don't dig hk bbq master. Service is low, servers use tricky language to get you to spend more money on orders, food isn't AMAZING, not bad doe

[truflke]

+1 on cocohut best Hainanese chicken in richmond always stop by there to grab a bite the prices are ridiculous

[Stormspirit]

Ming ga BBQ under superstore in Richmond has best take out BBQ.

Parker place BBQ is always full of line up, so u can try that too.

[jde100]

Prata-Man for boneless tasty chicken!!!

[etodac]

You can ask for free-range chicken at Prata-man, $8 more for a whole chicken. Wasn't bad.

[Galactic_Phantom]

yea I don't dig hk bbq master. Service is low, servers use tricky language to get you to spend more money on orders, food isn't AMAZING, not bad doe

"Do you want vegetables with that? What about soup?" = tricky language. Okay :derp:

[miss_crayon]

Kinda off topic but i went to hawkers delight on main king ed about 2 weeks ago (my first time) and although it was busy...it was by far the worst hainanese chicken experience I've had. I don't know if it was an off day (cause I've heard good things) but the chicken had this freezer burn taste. Plus to make matters worse, they don't have the ginger-green onion oil AND the red chili sauce looked like barf. Worst...ever.

[Galactic_Phantom]

Possible to find any good bbq duck/goose NOT in Richmond? Looking for some in Van/Bby

[TOPEC]

i thought consuming goose is not allowed?

[v_tec]

Had the Hainanese chicken @ Cafe D'lite today. Pretty damn good.

Anyone know how much more is the the "extra large/extra portion" in terms cost + quantity you get? Will it be around 1/4 bird?

[Galactic_Phantom]

i thought consuming goose is not allowed?

Not sure about the legality of it. But the bbq place at Continental Centre and Parker Place sells it. $45 each iirc

[Spoon]

My Dad always told me to go to Wing Hing on Victoria Drive when we were living in the area, so that's where we went. Not sure if it was due to quality or distance (perhaps both), but I took his word for it since he's been in the business his whole life. Now that I'm in Burnaby, I go to Chong Li.

As for goose, it's legal to eat them. It's just the economics. Duck is a lot more affordable in comparison so that's what they make/sell. I'm sure if you go to a store and request for a special order, they'd do it.

[willystyle]

Had Chinese BBQ Goose many times. The local gooses are too lean and the meat texture and flavor isn't as good as a duck. I'd take duck over goose any day. Goose in HK/China on the other hand.. :sweetjesus:

[dlo]

$21 for a whole chicken and 5 bowls of yellow rice at coco hut.. thats good game.. wurf

[guddagudd]

"Do you want vegetables with that? What about soup?" = tricky language. Okay :derp:

lol, don't be a lil bitch, it's "What kind of vegetables you want with that?"

[Galactic_Phantom]

Last I check they only had one kind. It is pretty standard for staff to upsell things in retail. No need for profanity, just pointing out how flawed the basis for your discontent is

[Tawpie]

you should be eating your vegetables anyway, what's wrong with you

[blee123]

is Master hung in richmond any good?

near garden city and blundell shopping center

[AXKA.]

is Master hung in richmond any good?

near garden city and blundell shopping center

Master hung is not bad, I would probably give them a 3/5. Would definitely recommend cafe d'lite on broadway! The hainanese chicken there is to die for!

[matrixfwd]

It's better known as swine taste. When pork is not marinated or flavored enough, the natural swine taste is very strong , and actually taste overwhelming and horrible.




what does porky tasting mean? it is pork after all

[Galactic_Phantom]

mad? PJSalt? Considering how you felt compelled to respond to a month old post regarding an insignificant subject matter perhaps you should reevaluate your own emotions and saltiness
