Before it has even opened, there is already a line of a dozen people. Well, it's actually two lines. The line to the left is dining in, while the line to the right is for takeout. Fortunately, someone in line tells us to write our name on the clipboard. Minutes later, our group is seated in two tables and we order the same thing, a couple plates of their superb Cantonese roast meats. BBQ Pork, Soy Chicken, and BBQ Duck: The first plate contains char siu, soy sauce chicken, and roast duck. They ask you how fatty or lean you want the char siu to be. We ask for a mix, and this doesn't disappoint. The meat is thick, rich, and tender with perfectly glazed, sticky, and charred edges. The roast duck is great, so plump and meaty. BBQ Pork, Soy Chicken, and Roast Pork: The next plate has soy chicken, roast pork, and also char siu (you can never have enough). The skin on the roast pork is really crispy and packs a pleasing punch. The soy sauce chicken is a crowd pleaser. I'm not usually a fan of soy chicken, but the flavors are insanely good and the meat is extremely juicy and succulent. Topped with green scallion ginger oil, the chicken is outstanding. The rice soaks up the juices and flavors from all the meats and it sort of a treat on its own. Greens: The Chinese broccoli is a nice green balance to all the rich delicious meat. Parking: The Superstore parking lot is large and chaotic.

Their business is situated in a busy mall and it's more of a take out place vs a sit down restaurant. They also operate as a butcher shop. The workers here are really friendly and I never have issues ordering for someone who doesn't speak Cantonese/Mandarin. I rotate between ordering their roasted pork, soy chicken, and steamed chicken. All are amazing, especially the steamed chicken!! I ordered this by mistake once and didn't realize something so simple could be so delicious. The ginger scallion sauce they provide with it is so good. Everything always tastes fresh. Prices are great too, especially with the US to CAN conversion. Highly recommended!

Parker Place is old school but clearly beloved by visitors young and old. Visiting Richmond while…read morein Vancouver was a must, HK style BBQ was a necessity, and Parker Place had all the hallmarks of a hit, so we set a course and were not disappointed. Strolling up, there was a line. Good sign. The meats in the window were glistening and dripping delicious juices. Through the corner of the glass you could see the meat carver chopping each order and placing it in containers with their signature sauce. We waited a short time and were greeted at the counter. Almost every customer before us was Chinese and I'd watched the staff speak with them in both Mandarin and Cantonese, but both employees spoke to us in English (sincerely appreciated). We ordered a small amount of fatty and lean char siu and some roast duck, which he promptly selected from the window and chopped to order. The fatty was a bit much for me, but the lean char siu was absolutely delicious, and the duck had a nice crispy skin and juicy meat, all of which was delicious too. The sauce took up to the next level. IDK what it is about the soy served with bbq but it's either infused with the seasonings of the meat or the two combine in your mouth to make magic. Parker Place is a solid stop for this type of cuisine and a good starting point for exploring it in Richmond. I look forward to comparing them all over future visits.

I…read morereally recommend doing the all you can drink as well because they have a large selection of soft drinks - the pineapple Fanta was my favourite! I enjoyed their wide selection of meats available to order. The pork belly and beef tongue are always my favourite and it didn't disappoint here. I found their cuts of meat a little inconsistent as some of them were too fatty which I wasn't a fan of. Their other items like udon and cold noodles I would pass on next time as well. They come as big portions so be careful when ordering. I would also skip on the corn cheese. However, I would recommend their fried rice as it was fried quite nicely. They also have a snack bar with items such as fries, chicken nuggets, gummies, seaweed salad, and watermelon.

We ordered the highest tier for AYCE which comes with lobsters, scallops, waygu beef etc. All the waygu beef items were soooo good. Perfectly fatty and tender. Also tried grilling oysters, scallop and lobster but these were a bit of a mess. The lobsters dried out quickly, the vermicelli on the scallops are burnt by the time the scallop gets cooked. These would have been easily solved if they added butter to these dishes. If I were to come back, I'd focus on waygu dishes only.

FOOD: Food was so yummy! We got the lunch menu and we tried everything! I really loved the marinated beef options! I recommend doing the non-marinated meets first and then working to the marinated meets to not only preserve the grill (even though you can change them out) but with how heavy and more complex the flavors get, I believe thats my best route always! They had cold noodles, which comes in a small, single serving bowl. I loved having that first as an appetizer because it was so refreshing, especially on such a hot day! We also got the ssamjang and lettuce to accompany our meats, best choice ever!! The butter corn was super yum too, not too overwhelming or heavy! What we did was we finished the butter corn and added garlic, that you can get for free, and crisped it in there! Not only does it add flavor, but if you want to toast it, it wont fall through the grill! They also have a plum margarita which I tried and it was super yum! I think a lot of people won't go for this option, but as someone who always loved salted plums and likes to try new things, I did not regret choosing this over whatever other popular drinks they had. This is my fav underdog! For dessert, I had the dough sticks (which they put as an appetizer) and ate it with the vanilla ice cream they offer (one per person!). Such a yummy combination. For another dessert option, they have almond milk, which was also delicious! If you're not familiar with this dish, the consistency is a cross between pudding and jello, where it's soft and pillow-y but holds its shape however way you scoop it. The taste is subtle, slightly sweet, overall so good. 10/10 for this food experience! AMBIANCE: This is a place that you shouldn't feel pressured to dress too nice in. T-shirt and jeans kind of vibe! But the aesthetic of the establishment itself could totally warrant cute pictures in a more dress-y outfit! SERVICE: Shout-out Iris! She was so sweet, so accommodating, constantly checked in with us, 10/10! Always making sure that whenever our plates started to look a little empty, she was there to take our order! Every question we had, every order we wanted, anything and everything Iris was there for us! So awesome, so sweet, thank you so much Iris for taking care of us!!!

Every item we ordered was well prepared and true to the HK flavors you'd expect -- nothing overly salty or greasy, just balanced and satisfying. We tried half a BBQ duck and the three-meat combo with rice, and both were excellent. The staff were friendly and courteous, and I especially appreciated how generous they were with sauces -- a small detail that goes a long way. If there's one area for improvement, it would be the food temperature. Nothing came out piping hot, which left me wondering if the dishes had been sitting out for a bit -- or perhaps the restaurant just doesn't see as much volume during off-peak hours. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but hotter plates would elevate the experience. Pricing was very reasonable, especially with their ongoing specials, making it an easy choice for a casual meal that delivers on flavor and value. Despite the quiet setting, Yummy BBQ deserves more attention -- it's a solid spot for classic HK BBQ done right.

I didn't pick the cheapest choice on the menu and instead I ordered the roast duck leg as my dinner. The place is not very large, I guess they target to serve more take out orders. The staff members are welcoming. The vibe is very similar to those in HK. The roasted duck leg is very delicious and juicy. Though it's already close to the end of the business hours but it was still tasty with the plum sauce. Portion is large. Definitely I will try their BbQ pork and chicken in my next visit! I'm really satisfied!

We intended on getting the à la carte menu at first but realized that based on how many big eaters we had, it was more bang for our buck with the all you can eat menu. We chose the lowest tier of all you can eat and there were some people who preferred seafood; even if you upgraded to the highest tier the selection in our opinion, didn't get drastically better that it was "worth it". We had a party of six and was seated at a long table with a divider. When we got to our seat, the staff had placed the divider at exactly the table edges connecting the two stove but it was so squishy and uncomfortable for 6 people that we had to move the divider over a little. There's a time limit for all you can eat however with one stove and us not knowing that the vegetables came raw and in full foiled packages, it took a long time to grill anything. Our waitress came over many many times to remind us about the time limit and even then... we were well over our time limit even though we only put in two rounds of food. One stove shared between six people was awful. It's not like our stove could cook any faster even if the waitress rushed us. We were even ending the meal with s'mores and the waitress couldn't wait any longer and brought over the bill. We had to put down our s'mores stick to pay the bill so she could leave us alone to finish the meal... the restaurant was not busy, there were plenty of empty tables and there was no one waiting in the lobby. Did not appreciate the service here. Overall, food was greasy and not memorable (as I just tried a different grilled meat spot a few days prior). The portions were weird. Most of the dishes were severely under portioned so we made sure to up our portions for round two. Our time was up before we could even put in our final round three order. The staff also didn't respect some of the items. We put in ice cream on the first order as people wanted to use it as a grease palate cleanser and it was only when we followed up with the waitress did they say "oh we thought it should be served at the end of the meal instead since it's a dessert". Perhaps following the orders of what customers mark off would help with better customer service....

The gyu-sushi was kind of a disappointment - it was like a roast beef slice on rice with some seasoning. Unfortunately, the place didn't look well cleaned and maintained.
