So I basically only leave reviews for places where the service is absolutely exceptional. Chinatown BBQ is BEYOND exceptional when it comes to the staff, the atmosphere, and the food. Visiting from out of town, my partner found this restaurant through instagram so we made it a priority spot to come, as we are both Chinese and want to support our people!! Upon walking in we were met with a lovely decor, an eclectic mix of olden and modern day pieces, simplistic yet tasteful. Waiters and waitresses bustling about created a soothing white noise of plates clinking and chatter amongst the patrons. Now the food was absolutely delicious, we ordered their “award winning recipe curry,” bbq pork fried rice, and signature 3 bbq meat chef platter, and everything tasted well balanced and authentic. The chicken from the chef platter was juicy and a standout. But what stood out most to me was the service. The staff are ALL so attentive and observant. The first waiter, Oscar, who brought out our tableware noticed something on my bowl and immediately took it back and brought a new one. Idk if people care for something small like that but to me that gesture goes a long way. Throughout the duration of the meal, various staff would constantly come to refill our complementary tea which was so lovely (lychee black tea). Bobby, one of the waiters was so kind and made sure we had everything we needed. Each time we were about to leave he would fill our tea more and told us to stay a while and relax, take our time digesting the food. Man we didn’t even do anything and they treated us like royalty here! I’ve been to Vancouver a handful of times but I’ve got to say, Chinatown BBQ has been my favorite experience thus far, and I truly think it’s the people here who made this such a memorable dining experience. Looking forward to coming back and recommending friends here!
