BKH Jerky

I've read about this shop for so long and finally made the trip to drop by. Best decision ever! When I was passing by the storefront, I saw meat being grilled on a bed of charcoal. When I entered the lady greeted me and called out to a person who could help me as she was tending the meat on the grill. I purchased 1/2 lbs of all 6 flavors and on my way back, opened the spicy beef. O.M.G. it's the best beef jerky I've ever tried! It has amazing smokiness from the charcoal, beautiful umami flavor from the beef and fish sauce and a hint of spice that completes the taste together. The jerky has good chew and slight crispness from being grilled. I can't stop eating! Such an amazing snack!

From out of town and just noticed it driving by and saw a jerky store with someone grilling inside??? Shopkeep was friendly and helpful, bought 2 lbs because they suggest eating it within a month or so. Should've got eight pounds, never had jerky this good before. Unique savory/sweet/spicy flavor. Get the burnt ends if they're available.

I stopped in a storefront in Chinatown a few days ago because I saw they were selling this jerky in the window. Bought a smaller bag of the Beef flavor for about $10. As SOON as I opened it I knew something was off.. I am not exaggerating when I say this - It was an OVERPOWERING smell of wet dog... Now I know that sounds extreme but it's literally what it smelled like, with a hint of fish, which I assume is from the fish oil used (very odd for beef jerky....) I've NEVER eaten beef jerky that smelled like that in over 3 decades.. I ate it, and boy was that a mistake.. I've been sick for days now because of it.. The lady working the till didn't really have a clue what she was saying about it either, she was very flustered and quick to rush me out. DO NOT RECOMMEND.. I have a very strong immune system and this took me right out..

My new favourite spicy pork jerky. No jaw workout as compared to some other jerky that I’ve tried. Easy on the jaws that is moist, sweet, sticky and flavourful piece of jerky. Will coming back for more!!

Best quality and tasting Jerky in town! When ever I am visiting Vancouver I make it a priority to stop here and hopefully they haven't sold out of the beef tips :) best service as well!

My new favorite beef jerky! I was enchanted by both the regular and spicy flavor. There is a sweetness and a delicious char flavor to the jerky that is so addicting. The meat is a good texture and not too tough. It is interesting that it needs to be refrigerated once opened but the 1/4 lb packages get eaten so fast that isn’t a problem haha! Going to buy a bunch of packs to bring to family and friends to try as well!

INSANELY overpriced low quality beef, it's not even grass-fed. They cover it in a disgusting amount of seed oil to make it seem more tender and trick people into thinking it isn't low quality beef. The staff are extremely rude and abrasive. The beef went moldy a few days after opening days while keeping it refrigerated. This place is extremely overrated junk. Worse than the crap you buy at a gas station!

Yes it is delicious. Someone gave me a small taste of the pork jerky recently and I immediately went there and bought over $100 of both the pork and beef, for myself and for gifts. The char really adds something to it that other jerky doesn't have. You feel like a wild cave person eating a delicious fresh caught flame grilled beast from a hunt. My entire dinner tonight was jerky. >__<

My family has been coming here for as long as I can remember. You used to be able to see the staff freshly grilling the meats, and the intoxicating smell of freshly grilled jerky wafting everywhere. When you order, they would packed it into a bag and vacuum sealed it right in front of you. The last few times we've gone everything is prepackaged, and you're in and out in like a minute. Prices have also gone up too, I think it's around $36/37 a pound (which my family consumes in a day). Don't get me wrong, it's still far superior than other prepackaged jerky, but not something we can regularly anymore.

My family and I have been going to BKH Jerky for years, when the original location was by Fraser and 27th. It has been a local institution to get the best jerky and honestly, nothing else compares. I bring all my friends & family here and we all love it. A must try and local favourite - you won't regret it!

Best jerky! Always buy in bulk so it lasts longer and I just end up eating more. Amazing

This is one of the best pork jerky places in North America! I always swing by here to get a few pounds of regular and/or spicy pork jerky to bring home back to the States. I usually get them in half pound bags and have them vacuum sealed. The pork jerky is Singaporean style and they actually make them right in front of you inside the store.

Hands down the best jerky in town. The spicy beef is my favorite with the perfect amount of heat.

Delicious and full of flavor. Easily the best beef jerky in Vancouver. The lady owner is extremely courteous and friendly. The store is clean and full of beef jerky aroma.

Spicy pork is the way to go. Small little spot I wish I bought more flavors to try. Definitely recommend but parking can be challenging.

This is definitely Singapore style jerky. The name in Chinese is also very similar to a very well known and popular bak kwa brand in Singapore. Parking can be tricky as the street parking is usually busy. Find the side streets to park. If you take transit, the bus stop is right outside. I am not sure if it is due to covid or it is the usual set up. There is no display of the bbq jerky behind the counter. You can see them bbq-ing the meat though. The menu is up on the electronic sign board. You can order in 1/4, 1/2 and 1 lb portion. There are 3 flavors -- original, spicy and curry. 2 types of meat -- pork and beef. I decided to try 1/4 lb each of the regular and spicy pork. Once you ordered, the staff will go to the back room to get your meat and vacuum seal it in front of you. It is a resealable package so you can store it in the fridge for freshness after opening it. For 1/4 lb, you get just 1 slice and a bit of the jerky. Not a lot at all. That's $8 worth. I reheated it in the toaster oven after I took it out from the fridge and it was tough. I do not recommend toasting it unless it was for a very short while. It was much better to let it come to room temperature if taking it out from the fridge. Of the two, I prefer the spicy pork. The pork is not made of minced meat which is my preference. That tend to be softer and juicier with no strands of meat. I wish they will consider making a minced meat version like in Singapore. It is great to know you can get bak kwa here without having to travel to Singapore or DIY at home.

This jerky is a game changer. Honestly you can't beat it highly recommend the spicy jerky top notch stuff!

This is the best jerky I've ever had! The quality of the meat is so good, very fresh and super tender. On top of that, the smoky flavour from the grill marks really makes this *chef's kiss*! I'm coming back this weekend to buy more!

BEST jerky in the game. Ordered almost $400 worth of jerky last week. Shipped across the country in a week. Nothing close to soo jerky or jacks links. Will always buy BKH.

Excellent tasty Hong Kong style beef and pork jerky. No service is performed as is DIY order style. environment is factory like so it is not a diner and standing room only.

My mom loooooooooves their jerky. It's not your typical gas station jerky: dry, stringy and bland. It's moist and well seasoned. Really easy to finish off half a bag without even realizing it. Available in 0.5 lb, or 1 lb sealed bags, and I feel like there is a third size available.... There never used to be a price difference between the sizes, but it is now cheaper to buy 1 lb vs 2 of the 0.5 lb bags. (much to my mom's chagrin; she likes the smaller size so she can snack on it at her leisure without the other half pound losing its freshness). You also have your choice of pork or beef, regular or spicy. (the spicy one is pretty spicy!) If you're lucky, you can catch the jerky ends, which is my mom's favorite, as she feels that's where all the taste is. I just like them because they're bite sized without needing to rip a chunk off a slab of jerky. You can also buy jars of the pork floss. (I've never had it, so I can't comment on it). This place used to be cash only, but it now accepts credit or debit. Free parking outside and along the side street.

Insanely delicious and the best jerky I've ever had. The spicy pork was my favourite. It's a lot more softer and tenderer than your typical jerky, but ridiculously juicy and flavourful. Will definitely be getting more!

Quite possibly the best Singapore style beef and pork jerky you can get on this side of the Pacific Ocean and a frequent stop when in YVR to bring back some home eastward. They will vacuum pack for $1 extra. I usually drop a good amount of money down here. The jerky is much different than North American western US cowboy style. It's moist but still has sweet and slightly salty yet chewy/crunchy texture. Also a smokey flavour profile from the grilling it. To open one bag is to work in serious self control as it's worse for me than a bag of chips. You can easily polish off a small bag in one sitting it's that addictive. The dragons den photos adorn the wall and it's a simple retail store don't expect much. Some days I like the beef jerky more some days it's he pork jerky. Both are awesome! The taste though will have you keep coming back for more even though it's a tad expensive.

Tried the spicy pork and beef jerky. The pork jerky has a sweet and spicy flavour. The beef is more of the spicy. Pork is juicier than the beef. I would recommend trying the pork jerky. Overall, both are really good!!

It's OK, can't compare with the jerkies from Singapore. But really should not complain since we're so far away and can still taste something that's close to home.

Saw this driving past and noticed the smoke and grill...had to check it out! Just be aware that there will be a line and a wait. Best to phone in so that your order is ready for you when you come in. The door is also left open so it may be a bit chilly when waiting. Jerky is vacuumed sealed in a resealable bag. The pork jerky is amazing, both original and spicy! Open up a bag and take a big sniff...you'll be transported to jerky heaven! Excellent flavouring and just simply delicious. I wish I had bought more and will try beef next time as well!

The beef and pork jerky are so awesome. I usually buy these for my relatives when I travel around.

Amazing beef jerky with some nice spices, I almost finished the entire thing in one sitting but had to stop myself to save some

Every time I visit the staff are super friendly and very chatty. All the flavours of jerky are next level delicious and very fresh. The bags are vacuum sealed and have a resealable zipper! A must try if you haven't already.

Every time I come to Vancouver I have to pick up spicy pork jerky for my family and friends. The best jerky around.

Man oh man do these people make good jerky. It's quite a bit different than the usual jerky we're used to here in North America but it's that difference that sets it aside. The dehydrated beef is very thin, which they take and place on a grill and brush it with their sauce. The sauce is sweet and savoury, with the main ingredients likely being soy, sugar and fish sauce, and the grill gives it a slightly smoky flavour which is out of this world. This is a working shop, meaning it's not just a retail outlet. They make all the jerky on the premises so it's as fresh as it gets. You can choose between a quarter, half, or full pound of either pork or beef, and you can also get regular or spicy. My preference is the spicy beef. You can also get beef or pork ends or pork floss. When you order they typically vacuum seal your bag right there. It's also surprisingly inexpensive considering the quality and freshness. Once I've started I need to make a concerted effort to stop eating this stuff. I had something very similar recently in China, another brand from Singapore, but BKH had them beat, probably due to the freshness.

The best jerky I ever ate. I usually order and get the jerky shipped to Montreal. But when I visited Vancouver, I had to there and get my fill! They all taste great. I had the spicy versions for the first time too and they were awesome.

I first tried BKH jerky at a local brewery and couldn't get enough! This is now my go-to jerky and all the friends I've recommended it to understand the hype!!

If you are looking for juicy BBQ pork jerky, you won't be disappointed

No other jerky comes close to the flavour of BKH. Our 11yr old has enjoyed BKH since he could eat solids! This stuff is the best! Always get spicy AND regular!

Best jerky ever. Consistently delicious and no added unnecessary preservative to boot. Glad they ship now

I want to start with a positive review because these people are from the same home town my parents were from and that aside, their jerky is the closest thing to what we were accustomed to. The sweet and salty combination is the perfect marriage with the thinly sliced marinated pork which begs one to have more with every single bite, bursting with flavor. This alone, is well worth my effort to give them a full glorified ***** review. However, all that is shiny is not so when it comes to common courtesy for their customer service. Now, I know it's "snow day" and everyone wants to shut down early and go home. One would think, you would get on the blower to inform all your customers with appointments (assuming there aren't that many? Maybe one? Me?) that you are shutting down early especially if your customer had placed an order a week in advance. Imagine driving up to the store and you can't help but feel a certain sense of euphoria and accomplishment, one, because you fought through traffic and deep snow to get there and two, you get there on time, @2:30pm as previously promised, upon seeing the OPEN neon red lights in the window still indicating they are open, feeling lucky, you park and hurriedly in the deep snow, winds blowing and snow falling, you make a b-line towards the store only to realize they either never showed up to work because of snow or they left early and failed to inform you of that minor detail. Now now, one would say two can play that game of blame, if they didn't call you, you could have called them to see if they planned to close early. In my defense, I had other errands to run, and I planned on keeping my end of the stick to get there by 2:30pm to pick-up my order through thick snow or blizzards. You can imagine my deflated disappointments when I realized the neon OPEN sign at the window was the result of a careless staff/owner misdemeanor. Not implying that act alone is a punishable crime but in the mind of a customer, that is a huge disappointment especially given the weather was of not the favorable kind. Luckily, I had given myself leverage to pick-up the goods before flight time. That's a minus one * if you ask me. The next day, I made sure a call was made before I set out on my journey to pick-up my order. I mentioned about my ordeal above only to be kind of being told off. Unapologetically, "You know it's snowing very hard and we all want to get home before the weather gets worse" said the lady at the other end of the line. As if it was my fault that the weather decided to take a turn for the worse. She continued, "can you come early to pick-up today? Earlier the better". I told her I would be there within the hour and arrived promptly as promised. Paid and pick-up my packages and went on my merry way. Now, I don't mean to sound petty, but seriously, I don't recall hearing any apologies from the staff for forgetting to call me to inform of their intentions to leave early the day before. For that, I took another * off. Well! You would think all is well that ends well. I got my packages, packed them into my carry-on so I should be happy. Hmmmm! Noooooo! The story doesn't end there. Now, I told you, this is lIke the all time favorite snack in Asia. Of course I have to open one and indulge. So, upon tearing the package open at the top where the zipper is, unbeknownst to me and to my horror, the entire perfectly vacuum packed jerky fell to the ground through the bottom of the bag onto my kitchen floor. I am flabbergasted, how could this happen. Well! Luckily, it is in my house and aside from a few pug hairs stuck to the jerky my floor is pretty clean. Still can't believe it though, how something so fundamental in sealing the bags properly, FAILED!! The straw that broke the camel's back was, upon arrival at my mother's home, I took the remaining packages out of my bag and proceeded to open one for my mother and like an idiot, I didn't learn my lesson from the previous day, the exact same thing happened. As soon as the zipper was separated , the suction released and the entire content fell to the ground again. This had lead me to believe all the other packages will result with the same outcome. Technically, I should remove all remaining stars. Not one, but two out of the eight packages I ordered failed to function properly. Listen, I am writing this not because I am seekIng compensation from Bee Kim Heng. I am writing in hopes they will take the time to read and reflect on the above. The saying goes, "a little goes a long way". As a business person, I want to see other people succeed because they believe in their product. While I like your product, I think your cashier's attitude could use a makeover. By the way, she is the one who vacuum packed my orders. They did wish me a Happy New Year after the sale. I guessed it's because I am chinese. Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed my review.

I always support small business and I like BKH products. I always come here to get their pork and beef jerky as they are tender and addictive. This time though, it was unfortunately a really dreadful experience. I bought a number of items including the beef ends. Normally, they don't have the ends, but that day, they have it. So lucky me (or not)! When I got home and opened the package, 80% of the beef ends were burnt. This is not just normal char. This is absolutely black, burnt, inedible ends. Since I got 2 bags, I went back to return them. They did not like that. The lady was yelling at me saying that ends are like this. If I don't like it, then I should not buy it. She was unwilling to refund me the money so I just had to exchange it for a different item. The exchange is fine, but the way she screamed at me just goes to show the total lack of customer service from this company. First, the ends I got before were not like this. They totally do not have quality control so I suggest that if you don't want to get cancer, do not get the ends. It's a dollar or 2 less, but it's not worth it for the quality that you get. Second, she could have just offered me an exchange and be done with it. Instead, she was screaming and yelling at me, the customer. Sorry to say, I'm not going to go back to this place. They don't respect me as a person/customer, why should I support their business?

It's my first time trying BKH jerky and I was not disappointed. Oh my goodness, the flavours were spot on . Not too salty and just the right amount of sweetness. Tender and a little bit crispy on the ends of quality lean meat. I've purchased 1/4 pound each of the spicy pork and reg. pork and 1/2 pound of beef. I wanted the pork ends as well but they sold out but the sweet lady who was helping me gave my husband, son and I samples of the beef ends. It was delicious but we decided to wait when they got the pork ends available next time. I paid for my order and before we left the lady gave us an ample sized portion of beef ends to to take home. Thank you so much! Super nice customer service and the best tasting jerky I ever had. I will definitely be back for more.

Visiting area, walked by and saw making of jerky. Tried the spicy beef, just enough spice, so delicious and fresh. We are going back for more!

Best "bak kua" available in Vancouver. Well packed - vacuum sealed. If you like the slightly more burnt version order the bag of ends. It's much tastier when slightly crisped. They also have good pork and chicken floss too. Great as a condiment add on to rice.

Fresh jerky made on site and no preservatives. Passed the test where I don't need to drink gallons of water right after. They have a good selection of beef and pork in regular, spicy and curry. My favourite is the spicy pork but frankly you can't go wrong with anything. Just ask them for samples before you buy at this Vancouver institution.

BKH Jerky is seriously the best jerky on the planet! Whenever I am in town, I load up and bring home minimum 10lbs of jerky to friends and family back to Toronto. Try BKH Jerky - you will not be disappointed!!"

I went into BKH Jerky a few weeks ago and ordered some Spicy tips (these are the absolute BEST) and two bags of original beef jerky for my mom and her friend. Well somehow I accidentally got all spicy jerky... My mom and her friend hated it. I emailed BKH and they were absolutely amazing. On August 16, 2021 Ray drove all the way from Vancouver to North East Maple Ridge to deliver the correct jerky to my mother! This was way ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations. However he wanted us to be happy and satisfied with BKH. Not only does this company have an incredible product, but their customer service blew me away. Thank you so much BKH, we will continue to support you, even from afar! FYI it's worth the drive people, businesses like this deserve our support!!

This jerky really is very addicting. Love the spicy pork and beef. When I buy BKH. I binge hard. BKH for breakfast, BKH for snack on the go, BKH during my favorite tv shows. Since the jerky is fresh, and there are no preservatives, You'll want to put it in the fridge within a few hours of opening the bag. Failing to eat it all right away and not putting what's left in the fridge can cause it to mold. So putting it in the fridge it very important! As soon as I get a bag of BKH, I cut it up into bite size pieces... put it in a Tupperware and refrigerate. I like to eat it warm. So I take out some from the fridge and put it in the oven to reheat for 2-3 minutes and it makes the best snack!!!! You can also microwave it for 10-15 seconds if it just came out of the fridge... So sooo gooood!!!

The beef and pork jerky are amazing! There's really nothing that can compete with this locally.

Super authentic rou gan (essentially Chinese sweet & salty dried meat). Coming from a Malaysian background, I can confidently say this place is the best I've found in terms of the taste and the texture!!

* New Location Same Bakkwa * When I saw the original Bee Kim Heng location closed my heart sank. Thankfully they reopened down the street a little bit. Phew! Major disaster averted! I stopped by their new location and thankfully the quality of the bakkwa is still the same. The space feels newer, a bit cleaner, and has better ventilation. But you can still see them grilling the meat right in front. The packaging has been upgraded too, to include things like nutritional information! Wow! That's new! So now I know there are 18 g of protein in every 50 g serving. Sadly I also now know there are 480 mg of sodium and 15 g of sugars. No wonder it tastes so damn good! I got the original beef version, and it had the same familiar smokey sweetness as from the original location. They are still using sliced Canadian beef instead of ground, and the quality shows in the taste. It is slightly moist, yet still has a good shelf life. Delicious.

Hooray!

Oh my heavens, what is this God sent place that descended upon my tastebuds? Our only regret from our entire Whistler/Vancouver trip, is that we didn't buy more of this jerky. These guys make it impossible to replicate, which means you've never had anything like it. The meat literally tastes of the BBQ char that you only get from tedious turning and attentive watching. The juicy, sticky, spicy, sweet-yet-spicy-and-savory marinade on it screams through each bite. The shop is small and does what they do, the best. Two guys on the grill, constantly flipping thin pieces of meat ready for on the spot vacuum packaging to your meat/weight order. Wondering if they do orders online, otherwise I'm sending my cousin up to get some when he is in town for 3 pounds. Packaging says to store in the fridge and to consume within 7 days of opening... This 1 lbs bag isn't going to last the rest of our road trip. Let's see if you can get jerky meat sweats... Ha!

Meat candy. This place means business. With duck, pork and unknown meats hanging in the window you know this tiny little meat shop is the real deal. When meat-guy chops, he does so with bare hands and chops so fast I worry he'll lose a finger. He doesn't though. All ten digits in tact. An everyday hero if you will. BBQ duck and pork-- the treat of champions. Try it, you'll like it... unless you're a only veggie-friendly!

Nice bakkwa!!!! Will recommend to everyone Love love love love it BKH Jerky nice nice nice

I love that these jerkies are made locally and very fresh everyday. There are beef and pork varieties in fruit flavoured or spicy flavours. I like to pick some up to pack into lunch boxes as a snack for school. It's never too salty or too burnt so their quality control is very good and well done! Delicious!

Best jerky ever! My boss brought some back from her trip & to this day I still think about the jerky. I'm salivating right now just thinking about the Singapore styles one. If only they shipped outside of Canada.. now I have to wait till either I go or someone else goes to Canada.

A Vancouver institution from decades back. Long a staple of locals who know where to go for quality Asian jerky, the current version (store & marketing) are a lot more westerner-friendly, but the meat itself is still delicious with just the right mix of sweet/spicy/tangy. Previously located near the old Ho Tak Kee on Broadway/Main before the shared building burned down, and then relocated further south on Fraser 20something, and now here. Pro tip: You cannot go wrong with the spicy beef. Unlike other, inferior jerky you may have tried, this jerky is not overly dry and the beefiness of the beef really comes through.

BKH Jerky has been a favourite since childhood. Every trip to Vancouver would include jerky to take home as well as any visitor from Vancouver would bring us jerky to enjoy too. So glad they offer shipping so we can enjoy it year round.

Best jerky ever!! It is made fresh on-site and taste incredible. If u love jerky u will love this place, as their jerky is perfectly smoky, full flavored, has just the right amount of chew and not like shoe-leather like those pre-package c**p out there. No wonder people from as far as Oregon travel here to buy their jerky (I've seen people order 20lbs of their addictive goods at a time). Quick tip: they sell out quickly, so either call ahead to ensure they have what you want or go early.

Okay then. Not as good as I'd expected based on the raving reviews. If you're into chewy dry meat with a gooey substance all over it which smells strongly of fish sauce, you'll want to have at it.
