Excellent B.B.Q House — Restaurant in Richmond Hill

FULL DISCLOSURE: I DID NOT GET PAID FOR THIS REVIEW!

It's not like this restaurant needs to as the quality and consistency of their bbq duck and chicken is what other Chinese bbq places should aim for.

The restaurant is in a food focused plaza and there are tables where you can eat after you pay. The staff are unusually friendly for a restaurant staffed by chinese people... they smile all the time and seem very friendly.

Here are some key points on why I keep on coming back:

Great tasting bbq meat! Consistently good! Excellent value - $10 for bbq meat, veges, rice, soup. And no tip is expected! You can't beat that deal! You get unlimited sauces (including ginger green onion sauce) without getting a dirty stare for asking for more. Been opened for a long time and still always a line up. Mean this restaurant is doing something right! The staff always smile =)

I hope you all experience this chinese bbq...

Update -

Excellent BBQ house has been my go to spot for years. A hidden gem that deserves more attention. What sets this place apart from others is it's depth of flavors. For example, the spices used to season the duck penetrates beyond the skin. The BBQ pork has charred and burnt ends, a must for BBQ. They tend to sell out of roast pork every time I come in the evening.

With high quality comes a premium price tag. $13/lb for roast pork and $25/half duck. Well worth the extra money but also feels like a small indulgence.

Clean, space to sit and eat. Don't expect a warm welcome. This place means business. You order, you pay and you eat.

Highly recommend.

Came here right before closing time and lady on the phone was nice enough to put aside as order until I got there minutes before closing. Been here on and off over the years and it still has above average BBQ. I like duck here the best. Char siu is on the...

This place is a cheat! I bought BBQ pork that cost over $36!!! The boss lady said it was over 2 lbs, there was no way the box weighed more than 2 lbs. How could it all fit into one plastic takeout container. I immediately went home to weigh the box and to no surprise. It was no where over 2 lbs. it weighted 870.8 g which is equivalent to 1.92 lbs. they charged $13.99/lb so even with taxes it should have been $316.62. How the hell did they get $36?!??? Nothing but cheating owners and ripping customers off. Another famous You tuber in the Chinese community have mentioned they also do a lot of bait and switch. Show you the piece you pick and the package something completely different. I guess that’s how they stay in business, by ripping off unsuspecting customers. Notice the bbq meat butcher has his back turned to you, so you can never clearly see what sneaky tricks he’s up to....
