Dak Hing Barbecue
Inside Dak Hing Barbecue
Dak Hing Barbecue is a no-frills Chinese barbecue spot tucked into a small storefront on Avenue Van Horne, just a short walk from Plamondon Metro station. Its unassuming appearance belies a focus on straightforward, well-executed Cantonese-style roasted meats. This is the kind of place where you come for a quick, flavorful meal rather than a traditional sit-down dinner experience — many locals grab their favorites to go, or enjoy their order on the nearby bench outside.
The menu centers on classic BBQ staples like roast duck, BBQ pork (charsiu), and soya chicken, all prepared with a balance of savory marination that doesn’t overpower the meat. Portions tend to be generous, making it a solid choice for a satisfying lunch or casual dinner. The duck stands out for its moistness and restrained saltiness, while the pork shows good tenderness and an authentic charred edge. Homemade additions like pickled vegetables and kimchi complement the meats well, offering a refreshing contrast.
Service here is friendly without being overly formal, which fits the relaxed rhythm of this neighborhood spot near the Jewish General Hospital—a convenient pick-up for hospital visitors and local residents alike. The modest setting encourages quick visits but also offers grab-and-go ease for busy days or takeout meals at home.
Visitors who appreciate genuine Chinese BBQ prepared with care—and those who prefer a quieter alternative to Chinatown’s hustle—will find Dak Hing Barbecue a dependable choice. It’s best visited around lunch or early evening when freshly roasted meats are ready, and the vibe leans toward practical comfort rather than dining spectacle.
