Vancouver! The Internet Rumors About This Place Were TRUE...

I totally underestimated this spot—way better than expected! Who else thought the Beigai in Burnaby and Richmond were the same chain? 😅 Turns out, the Richmond location is actually part of China’s wildly popular Beigai brand. So... is "Beigai" an adjective? A lifestyle? 🤔 Anyway, let’s talk MUST-ORDER items from my visit: 🔥 MUST-TRY DISHES 🍢 SKEWERS (Seriously Good) ✔️ "Beggar’s" Chicken Skewers Crispy outside, tender inside, sweet-spicy glaze, fall-off-the-bone goodness. ✔️ Duck Tongues SO tender. "I’ll take 20 more" levels of addictiveness. ✔️ Lamb Skewers ("Jianghu Style") Lean, juicy, zero gaminess—perfect for gym rats who still want flavor. ✔️ Grilled Milk Bread Sweet, buttery, crispy-edged. Not your average toast. 🌶️ OTHER STARS ✅ Spicy Duck Blood Tofu Silky, fiery, rice-wreckingly good. ✅ Wild Wonton Malatang Tiny, meat-packed wontons swimming in numbing broth—garlicky, spicy, deeply satisfying. ✅ Sesame Cold Noodles Peanut-sesame sauce so rich, it should be illegal. Chilled perfection. ✅ LEMON TEA (!!) Order this or regret it. We kept refilling! 🔴 Black tea (crisp & refreshing) 🟡 Camellia (floral & sweet) 🟢 Wheat (fruity & bright) 💡 THE VERDICT Top 3 Skewers: Duck tongues > Lamb > Chicken Vibe: Raucous "Jianghu" (martial arts tavern) energy—great for groups, photos, late-night feasts. Price: ~$50+/person (a tad pricey, but worth it for quality). Let’s be real—where else in Van can you get both good and affordable skewers? Open ‘til 2AM—hello, new late-night spot. 📍 Mr. Beigai BBQ Restaurant 8500 Alexandra Rd, Richmond #VancouverEats #SkewerSZN
