Best Chinese BBQ in Calgary?

[woovic]

What's your pick for the best Chinese BBQ in Calgary?

I find the Ginger Beef by Panorama does a good job with their BBQ pork and roast pork.

This is where I go to get my Chinese BBQ too. Just so everyone knows, this isn't a restaurant.

[BokCh0y]

SCK is my vote. That joint or Pebble Street.

[samo147]

Wheres the address for SCK?

[rage2]

Tried BBQ Express today, pretty good. Lean BBQ pork was damn tasty for lean BBQ pork. Gotta try the fatty pork next.

Isn't SCK now called Sun's BBQ?

That's the one inside Lamda.

That used to be the best in town but chef left.

Went to Sun's last night. Damn is that place ever good!

[Sorath]

sun's bbq = SCK.

SCK = chinese name

Found a place called Feng Kee BBQ House in the strip mall west of the T&T in Harvest Hills:

The BBQ duck was pretty good. They even have tables so you can sit in.

[n1zm0]

I miss the orange coloured squid w/sauce everyone used to sell, where can you find that now?

[rage2]

SCK is still the best when it comes to fatty pork.

BY FAR the absolutely best for siu yuk (I assume that's what you're talking about) WAS Ginger Beef in Country Hills. They've since axed the BBQ meat portion, and I am actually quite sad. The pork skin was thin and crispy and grilled to absolute perfection.

I'd say next best is BBQ Express, but you must eat there as soon as you get it, otherwise the styrofoam container traps all the moisture and the crispiness is lost by the time you get home.

BBQ Express also has decently priced take out 'rice boxes'. You pick your meat and get a huge heap of rice, and less than $8 I think.

If anyone is ever looking for orange squid, 2 places still have it, but not all the time: T&T and Tong Kee/Wai's in Chinatown (http://goo.gl/maps/37pX8). You do have to make your own dipping sauce though (very easy) - following is the ratio I use: 1/2 hoisin, 1/4 Koon Chun BBQ sauce, 1/4 water, dash of cock sauce.

BBQ express for take out.
Suns to sit down.

Hands down favorite,

the siu churn (sausage) and soy chicken are the best.

I thought i saw the chef at T&T country hills but i could be mistaken. didn't try it when i was there.

BBQ express though for roast pork for sure. especially if you get it in the morning when it's still hot and fresh.

+1 for this place. The one in panorama near the theater is also pretty good.

[woovic]

+1 for Wai's in Chinatown. $7 for a take out rice box, comes with two BBQ meats.

[relyt92]

I'm a fan of Tong Ky. $8.50 for a big rice box with 2 meats and a can of pop.

[bleu]

I am going to have to try BBQ Express.

Are all the good BBQ places in the North? Any in the SouthWest?

[r3ccOs]

I still hit up Wai's... its good

[n1zm0]

If you guys had to get a whole suckling pig roast Chinese style, where would you go? Need one for this weekend now.

[D'z Nutz]

I'd see if BBQ express has it. I'm certain when I was there during the Thanksgiving week a couple guys were picking up a couple roast pigs. They're closed Tuesdays so try Wednesday.

I thought they weren't allowed to sell it here... I.e. you get a small pig, not a true suckling pig. Stupid since we can eat lamb hahaha.

Anywhere just call ahead make sure they cut it too cause I'm lazy

[n1zm0]

^ yeah we definitely need it cut, last time we went and got a lechon one we were dishing out roast pork steaks, great for the skin portions but it was too much for some people.

tnx all

[G]

This is what you get in Hong Kong for suckling pig ...damn tasty :drool: :drool:

We tried Kam Kee BBQ house, but meh it was ok but nothing special.. maybe its only take out.

[max_boost]

I was talking to my parents about this and they said the Chinese paper advertises that he manages the BBQ at this place

Ah yes these guys are excellent! I don't recall them actually being a BBQ house though; they are a restaurant. Last time we went, they had live eel and it was absolutely amazing.

[bleu]

^^

Excited to try this place out as it is always great to try some place new. :)

[GotRice?]

Going for some BBQ duck tomorrow. Anyone end up trying Dragon Chinese Restaurant? Looking for some rice boxes. Maybe a place to sit down.
