Return or not return? Likely return, but... Roast Pork ("Siu Yuk") is quite good, and a repeat. Coming from a guy who's eaten in most Chinese (BBQ) restaurants in Vancouver. However, asking for soy sauce almost became an argument. Clearly the lady did not want to give it to me (and she spoke English so no language barrier). I even offered to pay for it, and then finally gave up. The BBQ Pork ("char siu") is a no go. Simply dreadful. I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND why Chinese people feel like they can be rude to their own kind. I almost gave the lady a piece of my mind, but my mother had me walk away. read more

Hopewell Chinese Kitchen - Char Siu, dreadful and a little fat is generally more flavorful. Here too much, but even worse is the pork itself is chewy, and not tender. - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

If you like Chinese bbq this place is right up you ally The service was really good The ambience was old school Vancouver Chinese restaurant cool. And the food was spectacular. read more

Tried this place out the other day. Their bbq pork and roast pork meats were no very good as they were dried. Also I had asked for lean cuts but the butcher didn't care as I received both meats on the fatty side. Would definitely not be going back. read more

I came here for the second time to get BBQ pork to bring to a friend in Victoria. What a disappointment! This time the meat was tougher meaning a different part of the pig. My fault for not buying a small piece to eat before buying. I thought about getting a soy chicken but not for $30 as it was small. Beware of the portion you request as they add more than you asked for. They're going cheap with the quality of meat and with the containers. They wanted to put the meat in a plastic bag! Seriously! Note it's a cash only place. We won't be going back. They're located on the second level where T&T is located off First Ave. read more

Hopewell Chinese Kitchen - Store front - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

One of the best roasted pork in lower mainland. It is located in a busy business area,free parking and to go only. I went here based on a friend's recommendation,we Filipinos we love anything roasted,in our country there are several ways to roast a pork by oven,open fire or fried,the best is the one that is cooked in an open fire,and what is available in hopewell is very close to that...,tender meat and the skin is very crispy,looks like it it was fried but sumtotal I like it. Small place and sell combo foods aswell,prizes I noticed is by pound.$1299/lb for the roasted pork) no sauce included thats the missing in the marketing. Not very clean flooring when I came,somewhat sticky,but not bad aswell,bi lingual crew. All the meat were displayed hanging so you can see how fresh are they,smells good aswell.They cut and slices your orders depending on your preference. I will return here specially when I have visitors at home for lunch or dinner. read more

This husband wife run joint is relatively simple when it comes to what they deliver. They are straight forward people that just want to deliver the goods. Good Bbq. They are not lost in the trappings of success or social media popularity. After the #seawheeze run we were hungry for some proteins. Decided to drop by this joint. We ordered: 1/2 lb of roast pork 1/2 bbq duck 1 lb bbk pork They were all delicious as hell. 5/5 for taste 5/5 for texture. Service is decent, as far as taking orders is concerned. 4/5 Ambiance/ the place is not much to look at. Very similar to HK Bbq goes. 3/5 For the items I bought it came out to be 30.25$. That, folks, is good value. 5/5 Overall this place is a simple shop run by unsophisticated owners that just want to make good bbq. They are fair and honest people that delivers top notch at a very reasonable price. (All those gamers, short-cut artists need to take a page from Hopewell.). This ladies and gentlemen is how you make an honest living. IMO this place trumps HK BBQ Master in terms of value and Chinatown BBQ in terms of taste and quality. Numero Uno. read more

Went here because Chinatown BBQ opened too late to fit our schedule, other reviews compared it to HK BBQ Master which we tried a few days earlier so it seemed a worthy competitor. Tiny family owned spot which is take out only now despite still saying dine in/take out on the window. We ordered 2 combo boxes (duck,bbq pork/crispy pork & duck, soy chicken & crispy pork), both cost between 15-20. Overall they were very generous portions, dare I even say too much rice. I would give HK BBQ Master the edge however because of the dine-in option and their crispy pork is more traditional, this place is more like a pork rind skin but nonetheless both were tasty and deserve business. The female owner told me if I wanted to dine in to go next door and order from there since it was the same owner and they get their bbq from them, i went to check and they said yes same owner but you eat their food. Possible misunderstanding lol. read more

Who whould've thought that this plain looking store would be so beautiful on the inside. HK BBQ Master has some serious competition. Parking is available in the nice large strip mall parking lot. Be sure to park on the upper floor, as that is where the store is located. The place isn't much of a restaurant, unless one wants BBQ on rice. I honestly can't decide which place has better BBQ meat. I had both the duck and the pork, and both of them have made me a better person. Just thinking about this place makes me want to cry. Give this place a try before it gets too famous and the hordes show up. Highly recommended. read more

This was my first time trying this place. It's a small place with few seating you could eat in or take out. Probably best to take out though. It looks really old inside and not that clean... Some might say it gives it character or that it's more authentic who knows though lol. Anyways we ordered two bbq plates which you can pick two different kinds of bbq on rice. I ordered bbq pork & soy chicken. I've really been into that soy chicken lately with that ginger scallion sauce. I asked the man if I could get an extra sauce on the side and he said "No it's inside already" we told him we would pay for it and then he gave it to us. Yeesh just charge us and give it to us man. Lol So later I got home and tried the food it comes with some cabbage on the bottom and only a teenie tiny bit of that dam ginger sauce. I would of been so disappointed if I hadn't forced the extra ginger sauce. I was so happy I had the extra! ( order the extra sauce don't be a fool) Taste wise it was good but, I wish they gave me. More chicken. My husbands bbq pork was a little dry unfortunately he got the shit end of the bbq pork. I think I'd have to come back and try the crispy pork & duck another day. read more

The roast pork dish is excellent. The skin is extra crispy but the pork belly meat is a bite fatty. Service is typical Chinese, friendly but no thrill and the ambiance is adequate but not the most hygienic in town. Quality of the BBQ meat is great so that's what counts. read more

Hopewell delivers high quality Chinese BBQ meat similar to top notch butcher shop in old days Chinatown. It's a place for those who look for value and not refinement, as long as the taste and texture is right. We ordered "fat cut" BBQ pork, Roast Pork and BBQ Duck. They were all very tasty, but were chopped too big, making such a perfectly marinated and roasted meat that could have been suitable for Dine Chinese dining into something that is fitting for very "coarse" way of eating- hence o deduct one star. BBQ pork has aromatic rose wine in marinate and perfectly roasted that even the end cuts are tasty and juicy (something very hard to do). The honey was caramelized till hardened, but I find it a bit too sweet. BBQ Duck has thin crispy skin and super succulent meat that is unseen in any other bbq place including HK BBQ Master. If it weren't cut to 1-inch thick pieces which made it feel coarse and cheap, this would have been the perfect BBq meat dish. Roast Pork has similar wafer crispy skin as HK BBQ Master but just a little less wafer-like. The "fat" cut is more like the medium fat cut, so in general I could say this place serves pretty lean meat. For optimum taste, always go for "fat cut". Taste is 100% on point, full of umami and not too salty. There are seating inside but you will be charged $2 extra per dish. The cashier lady is often under stress and do 't expect super nice and kind attitude in her demeanor. Whole Roast Pig is available for $230 as of Aug 2019z overall, prices in this place is App 15% lower than Hk BBQ pork and Chinatown BBQ. Prices posted in the takeout counter is mostly per pound. There are also rice dishes with bbq meat. Although the meat was not presented at their best, the more than reasonable price made up for it and I enjoyed eating all three meats in my car very much. Will definitely be back. My criteria -food taste 4/5 -food freshness 5/5 -service 3/5 -decor or dining experience 3/5 -value 5/5 Total 20/25=80 read more

If your looking for the Best BBQ pork and Crispy skinned pork in the city, this little Chinese gem is your meal ticket. On special occasions, during Chinese New Year, and other festive times of the year, this place has a line up of people wanting there beautifully cooked meats. A small little place located on the second floor of First Avenue Plaza, it's not really the easiest to spot, but even I stop by to treat myself to some of their meats, as you can do a combo meal here, with a couple slices of meat and rice, or if your like me, and need to bring it home, just buy half a pound of whatever cooked meat they are selling. I recommend this place over some of the best cooked meat places in the city, and make the effort to stray away from T & T's so called cooked meat selection to come here. I even start eating a bit before I get home. read more

Hopewell Chinese Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Best BBQ pork in the area! They sell out before 7pm and have an area for eat in BBQ plates. Photos next time!

My family used to live nearby and we would come here to get Chinese BBQ. Out of the BBQ places in the hood, I would say they are the best. But again in the hood really lack the choices. Most people come to get takeout and leave. I think that is the better option because the place is small and it's also cheaper. Yes if you eat in you get less meat and lots of rice. They charge by plate for dine in and if you do take out its by pound. read more

Best bbq in Vancouver. Old school Chinatown style. All of it is good with roast pork and , the roast duck and the bbq pork. Don't let the exterior fool you, it unassuming but the real deal. You can see the perfect layer of fat and lean meat ration. Chinese call this the condo, so many layers of flavour. You will take it home but be warned you may be speeding home, when the smell of bbq meat in your car! . The crispy skin is the perfect morsel on the roast pork. Always fresh as they never have left overs.This place is lined up on certain Chinese holidays. read more

I love this place. If you want a good fullfulling box of rice for lunch or dinner this is am excellent place to go. I love the roast pork and soya chicken on rice combo. I am rarely ever disappointed.... except when they give me all fat pieces of pork. Lol some people love the fat. I hate it. Lol read more

Definitely not somewhere you go to dine in (even though they have added some new seating inside). Best known for their BBQ duck & roast pork - lineups after work are common and expected, but worth the wait. My favorite is the roast pork...not overly fatty, good meaty bite & the crunch from the roasted skin is always great. And if you're up for something else a bit different in addition to the BBQ goodies, try the soy sauce marinated duck wings. read more

Still a solid place to get Chinese. BBQ. Upgraded to four stars because of its consistent quality over the years

This is out go to place for roast duck $ crispy roast pork on rice. They have the best roast pork & roast duck in Vancouver. Not salty and really crispy skin. They cooked their own meats. Lots of take out orders but you can sit down and have a good meal on one of their 6 tables. Not pretentious but really good meats. read more

Been a long-time customer of Hopewell for many years. The BBQ Pork and Roasted Pork are what we usually order. It's the undisputed best Chinese BBQ shop in the Hastings-Sunrise area. However, our last visit left us not wanting to return again. We ordered the Chinese BBQ sausage in the afternoon, and by the time we had it that night for dinner. The BBQ Sausage had an odd sour taste when we took the first bite, to the extent that we spat out what we had ate. It wasn't the type of sourness that you get from vinegar. It was a similar type of sourness you get from eating spoiled food. So we encourage anyone to never order this at their shop, as it's clear to me that their turnover is low, or they aren't very keen on food storage and preparation. read more

Bbq pork and rice they add garlic and soy sauce to the rice. It's so delicious. Their roasted pork always has crispy skin and the right amount of fat to meat ratio. read more
