The illusion of getting your money's worth at Richmond buffet

I’ve been to ​​The Meat Up BBQ many times before for their QQ-style fried chicken skewers and grilled skewers. Last time, I ordered their mala tang (spicy numbing soup) for delivery, and it was awful—but I still couldn’t resist trying their ​​lunch buffet​​ combo of mala tang + skewers. And wow, it’s ​​seriously cheap! Only $32.99!​​ 💬 Turns out, you really have to dine in to know—their mala tang is actually ​​delicious​​!! Why was the takeout version so bad? 🤔️ And the skewers? No surprise, they’ve always been solid. ​​Mala Tang Options (SO MANY!):​​ 🐙 ​​Seafood​​: Octopus, squid, black cod, and basa fish are all great. Must-try: beef tripe! 🥬 ​​Veggies​​: Spinach and cilantro are a must-add! 🧆 ​​Meatballs​​: Fish roe pouches, sea urchin balls, salted egg yolk balls, mochi balls—my picky stomach LOVES these! 🍜 ​​Carbs​​: Fried dough sticks (perfect for soaking up broth!) and konjac noodles. 🥩 ​​Meat​​: Beef, pork, lamb—pick your fave! 🍄 ​​Mushrooms​​: Enoki, seafood mushrooms, fresh shiitake—all good! Plus tofu and more—just load up on whatever you like! ​​7 Soup Bases:​​ 🔴 Classic Maocai 🟠 Sichuan Spicy 🟢 Green Pepper 🟡 Rich Bone Broth 🟣 Secret Tomato 🔵 Thai Tom Yum 🟤 Mushroom (Veggie) My top pick? ​​Maocai broth​​—so fragrant and flavorful! Green pepper and tom yum are great too. Not into spice? Bone broth or tomato are mild but still tasty. If you want extra kick, there’s a ​​DIY sauce station​​! 🍢 ​​Skewers​​: Fewer options, but ​​beef skewers and grilled chicken wings​​ are a must! The mini Orléans-style skewers are decent too. Honestly, if I hadn’t gone for two rounds of mala tang, I could’ve eaten ​​ten wings​​—they’re that good!! 📣 ​​Final thoughts​​: Super crowded (expect a wait), skewers come out slow (and sometimes wrong), but the ​​service is super friendly​​. Dessert ice cream? Also great. Overall, ​​huge value for the price​​—worth trying their lunch buffet at least once! Like this? 👍 + follow for more! 📍 ​​The Meat Up BBQ 3580 No. 3 Rd, Richmond, BC #Richmond #Burnaby #Vancouver #FoodieLife #VancouverEats #EatPlayRepeat #Skewers #MalaTang #LocalEats
