HK BBQ Master: Legendary Cantonese Barbecue Under the Richmond Superstore
HK BBQ Master is a tiny, no-frills barbecue shop on the ground floor beneath the Real Canadian Superstore on No. 3 Road in Richmond, and it is widely considered one of the best places for Hong Kong-style roast meats in North America. It ranked No. 29 on the Chinese Restaurant Awards' 2025 Elite 30 Canada list, has won the awards' Best BBQ Shop honour, and is a favourite of visiting chefs including David Chang.
Here's how to make the most of a visit.
About HK BBQ Master
The shop was founded by chef Eric Leung, who built a devoted following before striking out on his own, and it is now run by his son Anson. The roasts are made fresh daily in the uncompromising Hong Kong style.
There are only around 20 seats, and most customers take their barbecue to go. Popular cuts often sell out before closing, so arriving early is the key to success.
