HK BBQ Master

One of the best Chinese BBQ（燒臘）place, the best in North America for me. Everything are amazing but personally I would recommend the Chashu and the roasted duck. Roasted duck is a must try, they have their own unique flavour differ from other places.

MARCH 14, 2025: HK BBQ MASTER IS MY REASON FOR EXISTENCE I AM NOTHING WITHOUT HK BBQ MASTER AHHHHHH my expectations coming were THROUGH the roof and i was so expecting to be let down but OH MY GOD somehow my expectations were EXCEEDED this is the best restaurant in canada istg and it’s almost very nearly one of the best in the world im convinced. i tried all four meats, the bbq pork, the bbq duck, the roasted pork, and the soya chicken and they were honestly all so DELECTABLE that i can’t even pick a favourite. i requested the fatty bbq pork and they definitely delivered — it was tender, so flavourful and had such a nice sweet flavour that wasn’t sickening. the roasted pork was super delicious as well, with the skin SUPER crispy and the fat SUPER fatty, and was also quite salty. honestly, even though this is the one i was looking forward to eating the most, i’d say that this is the one i’d leave out just because it didn’t taste as “cohesive” as the other meats. the soya chicken was SO juicy and not at all dry, the scallion oil on top was actually a perfect complement and it made it taste so good. the bbq duck i WAS NOT EXPECTING to be so good but omg seriously jawdropping, i feel like im just using the same descriptors but seriously those bites with the pieces of fat and skin and greasiness and mingled together, eaten with the rice was actually heaven on earth. my favourite part was ordering another bowl of rice which came PIPING hot and enjoying all the meat like that. seriously the most sensational experience. i feel like with chinese bbq, it’s very easy to get dry meat especially with the duck and chicken and charshiu, but somehow every single bite of meat was so moist and juicy and soft and flavourful, not an ounce of dryness in the entire meal. the ladies there were also super nice and friendly, and the portions were huge — there was so much meat on my plate. IN CONCLUSION (because hk bbq master deserves a conclusion) if i lived near richmond i swear i’d be here everyday, and im definitely coming back because this has been one of the highlights of my entire life. ——————————————————————— AUGUST 21, 2025: update update update ! upon returning, i have decided that my favourite is definitely the charsiu (bbq pork), specifically the fatty version. it’s so tender it literally melts in your mouth, and the sticky sweet honey coating is a perfect pairing with the hot rice.

We loved HK B.B.Q. Master so much, we went back twice during our Vancouver holiday—that’s how good it was. Tucked under a parking structure, it might not look fancy from the outside, but once you taste the food, you'll understand the hype. The roasts are absolutely legit—classic Hong Kong–style BBQ, full of flavor and expertly done. It’s hard to choose a favorite, but if I had to rank: 1. Roast Duck – crispy skin, juicy meat, and perfectly seasoned. 2. Char Siu – sweet, savory, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. 3. Soy Chicken – beautifully poached, silky, and fragrant. 4. Deep-Fried Pork – crunchy outside, juicy inside, with a great bite. The place gets busy, and for good reason—this is one of the best Cantonese roast spots you’ll find in North America. Definitely a must-visit when in Vancouver, especially if you love Chinese comfort food done the right way.

It’s worth the hype. If you’re looking for delicious roasted meats, this place is a must-visit. The food was absolutely fantastic. Don’t forget to try the soup as a side dish as well.

We had heard good things about this place for long time but we had never been able to make it the last call time. Finally, we were so excited that we got to try this! We arrived a bit earlier than dinner hours around 5 pm ish. I saw a long time and rushed to join, but actually silly me, that line was for take out! We were lucky we could have a table for two right away without any wait. BBQ meats did not disappoint, as delicious as we heard and expected. We had roasted pork and chicken. Surprisingly, their daily soup was very flavourful as well. I guessed they had lots of bones to use up. It was on the slightly oily side but I did not mind about it too much. BBQ meats on rice was the way to go for the first time, better if you have someone with share different meats with. Perhaps ordering meat on rice is not the best deal, compared with ordering meats alone, and that might explain why the takeout line is so long. Their HK coffee and milk tea mix was tasty as well. We have already come back for a few times before I finally get the chance to write this review!
