    Beef Platter ($128.85)
    Angela C.

    3.5* Came here with a group of 5. We shared the beef platter intended for 4 as well as the pork belly and pork jowl. Tanlu is a Northern Chinese style charcoal bbq (think a mix of Chinese style saucess in a Kbbq environment). Comes with unlimited side dishes (kimchi, soy braised potatoes, soybean salad, salad) and lettuce to wrap meat. The quality of the meat is really good and the accompanying sauces were quite flavourful. If you had to choose, I would definitely go for the beef meats over the pork. That being said, even with spending ~$40 per person none of us were particularly full.

    Can't believe how good is their beef. This restaurant price is not too bad. Always suggest to make the reservation first, they always fully booked or line up. I have been here many times and still love to come Beer is cheap here. Big parking near Walmart

    servicing not bad, not fully Korean style more like mixed of Korean, Chinese and little Japanese. Really like the charcoal grill

    2star for customer service and 1.5 for food? Korean kinda grill... not many seating and COVID19 just make the wait longer. Servers were very nice!! Five star for the friendliness and speed. Good selection of meat and seafood on the menu. The food portion is considered small to me..which makes it a little pricy compare to other bbq place. The meat sauce and cold noodle were A little too sweet for me..Over all dining experience was pleasant.

    Wow Tanlu Grill! What a superb KBBQ add to Richmond. The environment was super clean and meat quality was A1. Was trying out the KBBQ in LA just over a month ago and was craving KBBQ back home. However every spot we went just didn't hit the spot until we came here. Tanlu Grill is Northern Chinese & Korean owned so the food tastes pretty darn amazing coming from owners who are part Chinese! The appetizers especially the radish and kimchi was an absolute hit. The ear mushrooms, potatoes however, I guess were more of a Chinese twist? Correct me if I'm wrong. Would love to see some fish cake added to appetizers. The grill is a little different as they use charcoal instead of electric. The rack was also different and a little flimsy. Ask for the thinner or smaller tongs so you can flip the meats faster and easily. They may run out as its a newer restaurant and they're making improvements as they go. The quality of the meats were so so lean with a nice touch of fat. The juices were dripping and blood was rising on the grill. You know the slices of meat are A1 quality when the juices keep drippin'. I'd recommend the beef platter for all beef lovers. It says its for 4-5 people but it easily fed 2 of us and we had a bit of leftovers.. so more like 3 people? I'm actually so happy I found this place and it wasn't a disappointment like the other Korean restaurants. Customer service will need a little more work when refilling banchaans (side dishes) and sauces but I'm sure they'll get it down the next time we come back. Will defs come again!! My favourite! YAY!

    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 arrived early, but, had no idea where they were located. I strolled through the food court and couldn't find them. After asking for directions, I was pointed in the right direction until I saw the line or queue as they say in Vancouver. They are both a meat market and a Cantonese BBQ shop. It is not a restaurant, though there are tables and chairs outside by the food court. Service was typical Cantonese. Order, pay, and get out. We ordered a roast pork rice and a roast duck rice. The portion size was larger than what I can get in the 626. It seemed like a good value for the price. It wasn't cheap. Both the roast pork and roast duck were flavorful. It was a good experience coming here and trying them out.

We asked a staff, and sadly I did not get the birthday person gets to eat free choice. There's a 2-HOUR eating limit, otherwise there's a cost charge for any leftovers. Food-wise, I really liked the differently priced tiers with each tier offering an amazing variety of options. My 3 friends and I agreed on *DELUXE TIER* for $39.85 per person, and it includes all of the food options below its tier which is classic tier for $28.85. All of the beef belly choices had amazing flavour when grilled over charcoal stove, and honestly it was probably my most favourite item on the menu. The chicken wings were on the smaller side but it still packs great flavour somehow. And the 'cold noodle with soup' had excellent flavour as well but it's a hefty bowl so it's better to save your stomach space for just meat only instead of carbs. The downside of my experience is the open bar which you can find in the middle of the restaurant. Its options was pretty lackluster and after circling the options at the open bar twice, I ended up NOT grabbing anything for the counter. Maybe they will change it up in the future, but at the present time I was a customer there, I did not like any of the choices on the open bar. Picture will be attached with caption. Overall, would I come back to Jin Tan Grill House? Yes. I would like to try their top tier called *SUPREME* for $68.85. For the choices supreme tier offers, I hope it's worth it in my future visit. For now, the *Deluxe* tier option was excellent but I might consider just coming here alone or with 1 or 2 friends next time because it is pretty expensive. Definitely recommended.

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 made a reservation for 2:00 on a Wednesday to take advantage of their happy hour specials…read more The shio negi tofu and vegetable spring rolls was a group favourite! Prime kalbi short rib was our favorite, although yaki shabu was a close second. The shoyu chicken thighs were also delicious. I would definitely order the garlic chicken noodles again! The beef tongue is also not as tender as I remember it being in the past. The herb and garlic butter for the broccoli was a solid flavor enhancer. 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. There were some spots on the booth we were shown to. Service was standard.

    The brand is a staple in Vancouver. I remember coming here many many years ago with friends and I…read morewent recently for a birthday dinner at it was underwhelming. 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....

    I hear good things about The Meat Up so came for their AYCE lunch…read more As this was out first time; the server was very patient in explaining which menu we should select and how the process works. There are different tiers for the AYCE, we just selected the Classic ($36.99/person, Mon-Thur all day; Fri-Sat 11am-4pm). For the hot pot, we just go up to the open refrigeration and select our meats and vegetables, and place in the metal pot. We bring the metal pot to the bar/front counter and select a choice of soup. I tried the bone broth (which was just ok) and the tom yum (which was good). The hot pot would be delivered to our table when done. Note, for those we don't want the BBQ meats, they do have a "Magic Pot Special" (Mon-Fri, 11am-4pm) for $25.99/person. For the BBQ meats, we select from our choices and was brought to our table cooked and placed on the hot plate to keep warm. The chicken and beef were excellent and not dry. Salads and other cooked food at the front counter also included. There is free parking out front. The décor is from the old ACB restaurant which brought fond memories from 30 years ago! Restaurant was clean and the neon decoration added a touch of casual/fun atmosphere . Would definitely come back.

They only offer Gold and Diamond courses. Actually I visited here a few times, and recently they seem to offer this 2 course. We started to order beer tower and bucket bliss(Korean soju with lime juice) We tried many skewers including lamb, beef, chicken, pork and more. As usual, lamb was the best. From vegetable, I love baked eggplant. And we could get hot pot and I chose the collagen broth which was excellent. From small buffet section, I got marinated clam which was very good. And crispy chicken skin was delicious, too. However, Fried rice was terrible. I don't usually comment too negtive, however, fried rice was one of the worst dish. Overall, we enjoyed food and drink. Some foods are hit and miss. It is a good place for gathering..
