My friend and I decided to grab some skewers while we were in town. This is a new location for us to try. We were quickly seated and placed our order. The food came out very nicely. It was the beef, pork, lamb, cilantro beef and the cold plate. The chicken wings and the cheesy corn came out last. We added extra chili powder to make things a bit more spicier for our taste palette. The overall atmosphere was well decorated in the theme associated with skewers. read more

Although it was a bit loud, the place had a good vibe. It was live with the lights, music and TVs made sure it was not boring. Tonight was very busy with big groups so food was slower to come than usual. I enjoyed everything but felt the size of the meat on the skewers got smaller since the last time I came which may have been a year... read more

Oh great! This is fantastic Chinese night market style. If you haven't tried it, you absolutely should! It's the perfect representation of Chinese night food and market, and it's both interesting and incredibly tasty. There are plenty of drink options and the food is amazing! I love it! Just one star away from five because the prices are a bit steep. It's at least $100 per person, and you'll need to order drinks otherwise it's no point having a late-night party with friends. read more

I revisited Tasty BBQ richmond location. They offer various type of chinese bbq with retro style decor which I really like. What we got : Skewers - Deluxe Beef, Premium lamb, Deluxe lamb, sliced fatty beef roll with cilantro, Chicken cartilage Jumbo scallop with garlic sauce Crispy chicken cartilage with salt and pepper Crispy Chicken cartilage with salt and pepper was well-seasoned and very crispy outside and juicy inside. This item was so delicious. I will order again. Premium lamb was very juicy and well seasoned, deluxe beef, deluxe lamb and chicken cartilage as well. However, fatty beef roll with cilantro which was my favorite menu was a bit dry and over-cooked. Jumbo scallop was actually not available, so, staff brought 2 small scallop instead. I wish staff told us before we ordered, though, taste was good. read more

The ambiance in here is everything! The inside of the restaurant is very lively, with cool lights, and good music playing. Service is pretty quick and nice. The menu is also very diverse here, and you're sure to find something for everyone. When I came with a group of friends, we ordered so many skewers, their fried rice, seafood, different veggies, and corn cheese. The skewers were delicious and they had different seasoning and sauces for you to enjoy with your skewers. The veggies were also delicious, and the seafood was good quality. The only dish that I was a bit disappointed by was the corn cheese, as the corn wasn't sweet at all. Nonetheless, everything was delicious and I would come back again. read more

Came here with a group of friends - HK style skewers - a short walk from Richmond Centre - small shared parking lot also available - very transit friendly. Service was very quick - and the waiter made some great suggestions on what to order - and also gave some honest opinions on items to steer away from! - always love it when they suggest what not to order haha. Skewers were all seasoned quite nicely - and tasted different from each other - I personally really liked the wings! - also the deep fried fish skin yum yum - Will eventually re-visit to try more items - read more

I walked into this place while looking for a place to do a pedicure and I am so glad I did. I ordered the beef and chicken skewers, dumplings in chili oil, broccoli with garlic and cabbage with chili. Everything was delicious. The beef and chicken were bbq'd perfectly. The broccoli has a lot of garlic and the cabbage was so flavorful. The dumplings had the perfect balance of chili and vinegar. I will definitely be back when I visit Vancouver again. Oh and Rex was awesome! read more

I came here during Spring Break as part of a team bonder with my rec team. I'm not really much of a skewer or even a bbq type of person. I didn't really have major expectations coming in except to have some delicious food. I think my objectives were fulfilled. My group just loaded up on everything from the skewer menu. I'll just knock off the negatives for starters. I don't think chicken wings on skewers is interesting or practical, or just something you should spend money on. Now onto the positives, I liked almost all of the other skewers we ordered. It had some nice smokey characteristics and was seasoned well. We got a giant bowl of the lamb noodle as well and it was quite delicious. Minor complaints to cap things off. The area we were seated in had one of the seats slightly broken, and it's a bit weird to me how it couldn't be fixed. Also, we sat next to one of the private rooms, and I could definitely smell that people inside there were lighting up cigarettes. Not gonna rant about how dumb it is to smoke cigarettes, but it was very obnoxious to have to manage with as I sat next to the door, plus it's a tremendous fire hazard. I hope this was just a one off, but given the staff didn't really seem to care as the smell did not stop, I guess I should warn folks that there's gonna be a chance you have to deal with second hand smoke, plus the risk of someone lighting the restaurant on fire cause they're too lazy to go outside. Anywho, food was solid and I had a better experience than expected. Solely on the food, I'd give it a thumbs up in terms of experience. read more

Tasty BBQ & Beer Bar - Beer - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Restaurant and bar serving skewers and more northern Chinese items. This place hasn't been around for that long. Went there for lunch on a weekend day, had to wait for them to clean some tables. The place was pretty full. Given the small table in the little side room that also has a larger round table. The small table is uncomfortable for anybody over average height. For food, tried their fried chicken knees. Tastes similar to chicken knees from Cantonese restaurants, but this place has heavier seasoning in terms of salt and garlic. The door nail buns were not big, but they have a tasty meaty filling. Lastly, the beef soup noodles were pretty good. Portion was big. The hand-pulled noodles were soft but still has a little bounce to the chew and doesn't just fall apart. Nice rich savory beef broth. Liked the food overall, and what we ordered was pretty affordable. read more

We first visited this place for lunch only to find out they only have BBQ skewers during dinner. So we visited again a few months later for dinner. They seem to be very popular since there was already a line at the door when they first opened for dinner at 5 PM. We didn't make any reservations and neither did those groups ahead of us but they were cool with it and just made sure we should finish in 90 minutes. The food was pretty good and we loved those BBQ lamb skewers. We also loved the BBQ clams. Service was decent too and we were pretty happy overall. read more

I really wanted to like this place! It's so aesthetically cool! However the skewers were only OK and everything was a bit pricey. They do serve you your food on cool dishes and plates so you'd feel like you're at a night market or a food stall. We got a lot of food items (but no alcohol) and our bill came to $300 among 7.5 people. To be fair I was still a bit hungry after. We tried a bit of everything from them. From their tomato/egg soup, fried rice, enoki mushroom, eggplant, a variety of skewers, grilled prawns to even the tanghulu seasonal fruit skewers. Heads up the tanghulu skewers didn't look the way I thought they'd look. I thought it'd be more traditional. While it did look cool, the sugar strands were actually kind of painful to eat and you end up eating the fruits and the sugar separately since they're don't really stick. I think my favorite thing here at the end of the day was the fried rice. read more

I've always heard people talking about this place, and finally get a chance to check it out. If you enjoy Chinese style bbq skewers and spicy food, you've came to a right place. The ambience of the restaurant is like a Chinese night market / street food in the old times. All kind of neon lights hanging from the ceiling in chinese writings. It's copying the 90s' night market style. People might get a little overwhelmed when first coming in. They have big, small and medium tables to cater to all size of parties. There are also private rooms that are available for groups to book with minimum spendings. Their menus are large paper prints newspaper style, with all kind of selections, mainly from the northern China. We ordered quite a bit of bbq such as the premium lamb and beef skewers, pork intestines, deep fried squid, and chicken wings. They are all pretty good with a nice portion. The jump scallops with garlic sauce and bbq oyster with garlic sauce were very tasty. My daughter's favorite was the stream pork bun, which were soft and juice. My favorite is the house made noodle with lamb broth. It comes with lots of lamb meat, and the house made noodle was very fresh and tender. For anyone who like lamb, it's a must try. The egg and green onion fried rice was served in a pot, which was unique. It's on the saltier side which I didn't like. Overall, all the dishes are pretty salty. However, they did have the options to make it less salty, less spicy or no spicy, you can definitely customize your own flavor. There are cumin powder, chili powder, chili oil and vinegar on the side for people to add their own flavors. They also have this beverage cart being pushed around, which is very unique. They offer none alcohol drinks and alcohol drinks from the cart. My hubby ordered this tea flavor drink infused with vodka. The server put the mini bottle of vodka on top of the tea box (she cut a hole on the top) , just enough the bottle can fit in and dispense the vodka into the beverage. It actually doesn't taste so bad. The service was standard with friendly staff and quick response. For a Monday night, the restaurant was very busy with lots of customers. It's a very unique experience, definitely a place for people to meet up and drink. Parking can be hectic on the lower level, however, there are additional parking lots available on the second level. I'm not sure if I will go back again anytime soon, but definitely will keep it on the list next time when we have guests visiting form out of the town. read more

Been there 3 times. Draft beer is a bomb! The food service can be a bit slow on the weekend but once it's started, it is pretty decent. Strongly recommend to try the gigantic you tiao!

Tasty BBQ Restaurant was an experience I would want to do over again. I don't usually like eating lamb but these skewers were Aside from lamb skewers, we got beef skewers - which were frkng amazing - and got their eggplant, scallops(?) with glass noodles, stinky tofu, a water cooler of beer, and vita "cocktails" (I'm definitely going to try and recreate this one!). The food was all so dang good, their service was quick, and the vibe was eccentric. read more

Came here for dinner. We made our reservations through WeChat. Be sure to make a reservation or you will end up waiting awhile for a table especially on peak nights like on Fridays and Saturdays. They came around with a cart filled with the classic Hong Kong style drinks and mini bottles of Smirnoff and Bailey's. We got the lemon tea and lychee. To describe the taste it tastes like lemon tea until all the Smirnoff comes down and then all you taste is Smirnoff. It doesn't really mix together. Wouldn't recommend except for pictures. We got a ton of skewers including sausages, lamb, beef etc. My most recommended has to be the Xin Jiang Lamb skewers. But beware, the first batch we got of these Lamb skewers were delicious, the second batch not so much. Would also recommend the sausage skewers. The cumin seasoning they put on top has almost a numbing yet addicting feeling to it. We got the deep fried chicken skin and also fried chicken knees. The chicken knees were really addicting. Definitely on the saltier/MSG heavy side. But VERY addicting and crunchy. Would recommend the chicken knees over the chicken skin. We got the lamb dumplings, grilled oysters, butter corn, Mala stir fried clams and Beijing style black bean noodles. Would not recommend any of those items. The lamb dumplings were really oniony and lacked lamb flavour. The grilled oysters were big and nicely cooked but not worth the price. The Mala stir fried clams were pretty numbing and the portion was quite big but felt that the flavour masked the flavour of the clams. The Black bean noodles they stir at your table which is cool but tasted not as good as it looked. The butter corn was over done, making the kernels dry. If you like durian balls I would definitely recommend them as the durian flavour is really strong and the outside taste like deep fried mochi. Very chewy and delicious. Overall: if you are looking for a place with nice atmosphere and nice neon nights. Then this is your place. If your looking for good food, I would pass on this place. There are more misses than hits. The price is also pretty expensive. Our bill came to almost $300 for 4 people and I swear we aren't big eaters... Regardless, good for a one time experience and get ready to go all out when you do go. Tip: if you are having a birthday here and want to embarrass the birthday person. Please let them know and they will sing happy birthday while holding up a sign. read more

One of the trendiest spots in Richmond and is known for its old-school Chinese neon signs. We were hungry and ordered a variety of skewers (premium angus beef, lamb, minced beef, baked shrimp). There's a minimum order for select meats. We also ordered the spicy garlic clam and shrimp (minimum 2 seafood meats) and it comes with broccoli and potato slices. Good but very, very salty. Would be good with plain rice. We got the fried rice and the house noodle with lamb, which was SOOO SPICY. We washed it down with their punch bowl IPA which was really nice! For dessert, we got the tanghulu, which wasn't worth the $3. The sugar was hurting the roof of my mouth and I would much rather have it glazed with sugar. Price adds up quickly and it was ~$55 per person. We were seated outside on their covered patio during a rain storm. They need to make sure their heaters are fixed, but they also have blankets to use. Overall a good spot, but be wary if you have a budget. read more

Went with 3 other friends for dinner, vibe and decorations was quite nice but relatively expensive although we did try a lot of different things. Beware the minimum order requirements. *Deluxe Lamb ($0.99/skewer): Very little meat on the skewer, flavouring was meh, which could be expected because of the price but definitely didn't feel worth it. *Premium Angus Beef ($2.98/skewer): These were by far the best skewer, seasoned really well with tender meat. *Chicken Wings ($2.98/2 wings): These were also quite flavourful, and would recommend, good mix of spicy and sweet. *Squid ($0.99/skewer): Not a lot of squid on the skewer, but tasted pretty decent, not particularly memorable. *Fish Tofu ($1.68/3 tofu): I would get these again! They were quite good *Bread ($1.68/ slice): Probably not worth it, was buttered with a sweet sauce and sesame seeds. Tasted OK *Marinated Cucumber with Garlic ($5.95): Really tasty and getting this helped balance out some of the spice from the skewers. *Tanghulu ($2.98/skewer): Very pretty but probably not worth it LOL was kind of difficult to eat and one strawberry and three grapes is not really worth $3. *Mini Alcohol + Chinese Tea Juice Box ($7.98): DON'T GET THIS EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS CUTE. Caused the drink to curdle inside and ended up having a tofu like texture. read more

Trendiest spot in recent Richmond history that opened in perhaps one of the most perpetually cursed locations as so many have failed before in this same spot. Last call for food is a bit too early but perhaps we will see things change as Covid restrictions are further lifted. This location has little to no parking but there is some street parking on the side streets nearby. Park at Richmond Center at your own risk as they are known to ticket. Tasty BBQ is definitely intended for larger groups unlike our table of 3 as the minimum skewer orders means you don't get to try much. All the skewers were pretty decent and prices were fair. We ordered a mix of 3 items from their cold plates section that were also really good and were great to pair with beer. Definitely recommend the house smoked fish from this part of the menu. Their lamb skewers are very good but the house noodle with lamb has way too much chili oil. The base itself is decent but it's overpowered by the chili oil which you'll end up paying for on the toilet the next day. $6.88 for a flight of beer is dirt cheap as is their $13.98 pitcher. The Vita based alcoholic juice boxes are a bit of a gimmick but they're probably what got you to notice Tasty BBQ in the first place. The drink starts off extremely sweet and then takes a dark and strong turn as you get near the end. IMO this needs to be served ice cold and with a disclaimer to mix it well when you're 1/3 of the way through. Their Covid protocols were excellent and glad to see the security guards actually enforce it. As I sat down, I saw a gentleman get kicked out as he was overserved/obviously intoxicated, so it was nice to see them do their job. However, 10-15 minutes later I saw this same patron go back and forth and it looked like his friends either paid the guards off or sweet talked them into letting him back in. Also as I went to use the bathroom, a different patron was violently throwing up in the stall. With the amount of alcohol served here, a one stall bathroom may not cut it, just sayin' Overall it was a fun experience but with the amount of chili oil used in their dishes, I'm not sure my stomach can handle coming here too often. read more

Happy hour food menu consists mainly of various cold appies and deep fried items, so if you're looking for something starchy or more filling you're basically outta luck. But even if you were able to get the kitchen to make you, say, a lamb noodle soup I'd still strongly advise against it. To be perfectly honest I've never had a soup as sodium-rich as this. Ever. Who knows maybe that's their formula to sell more beers. read more

Good food, good atmosphere (if you like the young Asian hangout scene with lots of loud music), and decent service. Server's came to pickup empty dishes and skewers often plus not hard to get a server's attention if you need something else. Parking is ok if you don't mind parking at Richmond Centre parking lot during dinner time since lots of patrons will come in many different cars per table which easily takes up the restaurant's parking lots. Didn't use washroom so no comment there. About $50 per person before tips so not bad for what we ate. read more

Newly opened Chinese BBQ and Beer bar which serves you skewers, grilled seafood, stir fried, beer and wine. Interior of the restaurant is very artistic and great atmosphere. It brings you back to the 70s-80s feeling but with a modern twist. We have ordered: *Premium Angus Beef Skewers ($2.98/ea, min 6 orders): Very tender beef with nice balance of flavor and spices. Each skewers come about 4 small pieces on the stick. *Premium Lam Skewers ($1.95/ea, min 6 orders): Same as the beef, very tender. Mixed between lean and fatty pieces. Taste like the same spices as the beef skewers. *Chicken Wing ($2.98/ea, min 3 orders): tiny bit of sweetness from the marinate which is quite good. Wings came out hot and crispy on the outside skin, which was very good. *Sea Conch Meat Skewers ($2.28/ea, min 4 orders): Not recommend. It's frozen sea conch meat which I totally understand, but taste unappealingly bland. Also, 4 skewers of meat were all cold. (Not hot) We tasted it right after they came. *House Special Hot pot- Braised Pork Knuckles , Abalones, and Chicken feet ($19.98): This is the funny item that caught me. For $19.98, you got a very small bowl of hot pot with 1 small piece of abalone, 2 half of the pork feet, and 2 pieces of chicken feet... When I say it was "small", it's really SMALL. Compared the size of regular rice bowl/cup with the hot pot itself, it's about 5"? Taste was Okay, but not recommended for this item. After all, Subtotal $67.80 + 5% GST = $71.19 + 15% Tips. It was a good experience, if you go out and want a drink after work. But food isn't that worth of the money in my opinion. read more

Very well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. There was a load of garlic on it too! * We also got a load of different drinks from the vita cocktails, to 3 pitchers of beer, coconut drinks, and jian li bao (almost like a peach drink! Worth a try) . * 8/10 ~ it was good, way better than the first time I came here (last time was definietly not as good) but this time was good everything was fresh and juicy! I'd come back to give it another try. * 8/10 ~ we were super full after and had a lot remaining, we ate so many skewers too it was a good deal, some things can be pricey but overall the way we ordered was pretty good. Total bill before tip: $461.28 - (9 people). read more

This place literally reminds me of China from ambience to food and drinks. It's the perfect 大排檔 environment where friends gather to eat good food and drink some beer to relax after a long working day. This is also the only place in North America that has RIO beer imported from China, definitely recommend the fruit punch flavor. Drinks and draft beer are super affordable. Skewers are reasonably priced and taste delicious. There are cumin and spicy powder on the table for you to add more flavors to your liking. We ordered wayyyyyyy too much since everything looks so good on the menu. It's a double sided menu so it's very easy to get carried away and order everything! 10/10 would recommend and so happy that Richmond now has a fun place like this. read more
