  This is one of the few remaining Hong Kong style Chinese BBQ restaurants left in Vancouver!
  When most of the immigrants came in the late 80's and 90's they were mainly from Hong Kong, as time passes the demographic changes to more and more Mainland Chinese, thus the change of "flavour " to cater to a more spicy and greasy style of cooking.
  Here at Yu Ki you still get the BBQ Roast Duck, Crispy Skin Roasted Pork and Soya Chicken etc.
  Most items are very authentic and delicious, at times I say would be better then the ones you get in HK now.
  They also have very good kitchen with most of the dishes done in a very Cantonese way which is with good Wok Hay.  So if you feel you want to taste the Vancouver Chinese food from the past come here!!
  And I mean it in a good way!!

  This was my first time ordering from here, I was craving some HK bbq so I decided to go in. I ordered the roast pork on rice but I think they misunderstood and gave me roast pork and char siu, normally that wouldn't be an issue because I love both, however, the char siu was really really dry. There was no sauce, the meat was over cooked and let's just say it takes a bit of effort to chew. The skin on the roast pork was pretty good as it was nice and crispy but still then it was a hit and miss on each piece. It's definitely not somewhere you go to if you want meat that melts in your mouth and if you don't have strong teeth I suggest you go elsewhere ;)
  Combo was 10.50 and reconsider if you want to order the char siu

  Yu Ki BBQ Kitchen is a small restaurant with a take out section on the side. We came here around 12:45 PM and there were only a few 2-seaters left. We had no problem getting a table because there were only two of us. It is your typical Chinese restaurant so we didn't expect much service. I ordered the 2 BBQ cuts on rice, with BBQ pork (char siu) and soy sauce chicken ($10.95). The combo came with either soup (no msg, as stated on the menu) or a hot drink.
  
  My rice came very fast and it looked good. It came with a side of chinese cabbages. I actually had a high expectation of this place because they are known for their BBQ items. The BBQ pork looked fresh but I thought it was too lean. As a result, the texture was a little dry. I was disappointed in the soy sauce chicken. The chicken itself was flavourless with a faint taste of soy sauce. I don't know if it was because the knife they used to cut the chicken was dull but I had a lot of tiny shattered bones. I didn't notice they were mixed into the rice until I felt something hard in my mouth. Thus, it was very inconvenient having to spit out these out.
  
  Typical Chinese restaurant service, only there to take your order, put the food on your table, take them away when you are done, and then give you the bill. I was a little appalled at how dirty the ground was underneath our table. There were pieces of meat and rice lying everywhere. It was definitely not a good feeling when you find yourself stepping on them. When a waitress was cleaning the table beside us, a chopstick fell on my foot, and I was just disgusted. I think she was trying to be speedy but sometimes that is not a good thing!

  Well we didn't expect too much from this place and we got exactly that. The crispy roast pork was ok however it was barely room temperature and my rice/veg was even colder. My wife had 2 BBQ combo and ended up depositing half of the 'meat' on the side plate as it was just too fatty. My wife likes fatty pork so for her to discard that it had to have been nasty.
  
  The main problem is that the 'server' began sweeping (in our direction) when we sat down and even swept under our table without the courtesy of even saying 'excuse me'. It's nice they clean but I can see the dust that was being kicked up in the sunbeam coming though the window so I can only imagine how much settled on our food. When she brought our utensils her   hands were far too close to the business end of the chop sticks for our liking so my wife cleaned them in one of the cups of tea, which again wasn't overly hot.  I really dislike drinking tea from a tumbler as well, give me a proper tea cup and save that glass for my (likely) unfiltered tap water.
  
  Won't be back here again.

  Got the bbq pork and duck on rice. The pork was ok, the duck was sub standard. Pretty much got 8 pieces of skin with bones, little meat. Looks like they try to placate their customers by shovelling a huge portion of rice with it.
