Dak Hing Barbecue comes across in reviews as a humble, cash only, takeout focused spot near Plamondon Metro that delivers strong Cantonese barbecue at very good value, with crispy skin on roast pork, juicy meat, and a robust char siu that is caramelized without being overly sweet, plus a variety of items like duck, pork ribs, wings, and pork sausage, all available by the pound or in lunch combos. Several reviewers rank it among the best Chinese BBQ in Montreal, praising authentic flavors and careful preparation, while a few say it is not the very best but still solid for the city. The duck is noted as fatty and juicy though sometimes with many bones, and the pork skin on the roast pork is praised, with occasional mentions of chewy skin in another dish. Service is friendly and fast, but the space is small with no seating and no washrooms; the restaurant operates takeout only, though e transfer may be accepted by some. Highlights include Lunar New Year taro cake and Dragon Boat festival zongzi, and the option to buy by the pound or in lunch combos, with lines forming at peak times and broad appeal across years. Overall, the reviews present a reliable, affordable option for authentic Chinese BBQ in Montreal, with strong pork and char siu defining the standout offerings and casual, no frills service.
Roasted pork was bland. No flavour. Very suprised as most places use a good amount of salt. Maybe it was the cut of meat I got. 🤷🏻?♂? Bbq pork was a little better. Had some flavour. Vegetable was just steamed so no flavour which is normal. Usually when people are hungry, everything taste good. Not in this case. I was very hungry & did not enjoy the food.

Dak Hing Barbecue is a small family run spot led by a sister & brother, & it puts out the best roast pork in the city. The skin is crisp, the meat stays juicy, & the flavor hits exactly how proper roast pork should. Their char siu is just as strong, rich & caramelized without being overly sweet.
Service is fast, no fuss, cash only, & the prices are surprisingly low for the quality you get. It's the kind of place you rely on because it delivers every single time.

Great quality Chinese food. I came here expecting a filling meal for a low price & I got one. Don't miss out on the sticky rice & bbq pork. Just be mindful the roasted duck has many bones which was pesky to eat but it was very fatty & juicy. Workers were very nice & were patient with me trying to e transfer since it is cash only & no seating only takeout. Definitely coming back here again. 9/10
I went to Dak Hing Barbecue because it was supposed to have the best Chinese BBQ in Montreal. The restaurant is a small hole in the wall place near Plamondon Metro station. The service is friendly & I ordered my usual soy sauce chicken along with roast pork. Not the best Chinese BBQ I have eaten, but it was pretty good for Montreal.
Let's be clear here, this is not an eat in place it's for take outs hence one star for atmosphere.
Service is very nice & accommodating & prompt as you are in a line.
Food is excellent & fresh.
They sell by the pound as well as lunch combos.
Let's break this down. I've eaten here for years with 100% consistency. I have never been let down.
Unless you go to Chinatown or other distant old school Chinese places this one of the authentic & reasonably priced delicious places to get this type of cuisine.
Lunch time people come in non stop to get food to bring home & eat lunch - like I did in the car.
So, they have pork sausage, duck, wings, & then pork ribs & pork from various parts of the body - you select what you want.
I have tried all & they are all yummy, but for me the absolute delight is the crispy pork with that crunchy skin & tender meet. They give you a dip but it really does not need any other flavouring.
Try it & you'll fall in love with this no nonsense place that serves honest to goodness home made food at adorable prices.
Montrealers typically say: Go to Toronto for good Chinese food. I generally agree except for Dak Hing. Everything is authentic, delicious, & even better than the best that I've had across the GTA. It's obvious everything is thoughtfully & craftfully made when they source their meat from local farms. We have never been disappointed here. Their ??? (taro cake) for the Lunar New Year is THE best. (We order in advance - they are so popular!) We enjoy their ? (zongzi) during the Dragonboat festival too. Dak Hing keeps me connected to my roots & I appreciate their hard work so much.
Despite going in the Cote-Des-Neiges area for almost weekly. I just discovered this place recently. I used to go to Asian supermarkets like Kim Phat & Newon to get my asian meat barbecues like Roasted Duck, Roasted Pork & Char Siu so I'm glad that I found this place that is also closer to Plamondon Metro station.
Pricing is pretty standard to other locations that serve those barbecues, though I found the meat there being tastier overall. I found the service pretty quick, thanks for the availability of those meats. The staff are generally nice here, but the place is a little bit tight with no access to the washrooms, so it's take-out only.
Overall, it's a nice location for your Asian barbecue needs in the Cote-Des-Neiges area in Montreal.
