Paramount BBQ

My friends and I all love skewers so we decided to try this place out since one of them visited before and liked it. We ordered a lot of skewers of various kind, lamb, beef, chicken, wings, etc. along with some other side dishes such as a garlic eggplant dish and sliced beef tongue. The food was really good and tasty. The overall BBQ sauce they used on their skewers were a bit more on the sweet side which I don't expect to have from BBQ skewers. Their service was fantastic. All servers were attentive and their their kitchen was very quick in getting the food ready, much faster than some other similar places I've been to before. When we were on our way out one of their servers even opened the door for us so we didn’t have to touch the handle. In these days of COVID I think that was a very nice touch from the staff working there. Overall a very good place and I likely will visit again in the future when I'm in Vancouver again.

This is my second time visiting but don’t think I will be going back because of the service. When we were waiting they seated us and told us to wait again because there was a group that was earlier. When we ordered our food, no one checked in on us. When we asked to take a to go bag for our food, the female waitress wth glasses was super unfriendly and just packed and didn’t say anything. It didn’t feel welcoming at all. I understand that it was a busy day but in my past experience at happy tree a similar skewer place, I still received service despite how busy they were. The food is good but for the experience, I much prefer Happy Tree.

If you like garlic, you're going to love coming to Paramount Bbq... Lots of dishes use it heavily. Dishes that we liked included the cucumbers which had ample amounts of garlic, the eggplant pretty much anything with garlic on it was good, fish tofu and beef skewers, short ribs and oysters, clams with vermicelli, enoki mushrooms, grilled chicken wings ... The only items we weren't sold on were the grilled shrimp skewers which seemed chewy and over cooked, and the grilled scallops which looked better than they tasted. Overall, good bbq spot and not as noisy as some other bbq places along Kingsway.

Amazing food, quick service. Every dish we tried was amazing. Lamb fried Rice and beef skewers were just amazing. The beef just melted in my mouth, Must try for sure.

Best place for Chinese skewers in Vancouver. Portions are very generous and priced fairly. I’ve been here a few times and we always get the same server, he’s very helpful and attentive. This place can get busy during the evening so expect to wait.

First time checking out this place Aug 1.2022 BC long weekend, Monday. Arrived at 7:45 pm. got seated right away we were walk ins and did not make reservations however, we did phone ahead to ask if we needed reservations and at the time we called, we were advised there was seating available as long as we got there before 8 pm . I noticed that by 8:30pm the place was full. We had to ask some questions about menu and waiter was able to speak English and explain items eg. some items showed 5 , and then price per item...I wanted to clarify whether that meant minimum 5 skewers at $/skewer since i couldn't read Chinese see attached photo of menu, and waiter confirmed some items required a minimum of 5 skewers and some 2, clearly noted in Chinese. Food items are in both English and Chinese so you know what you are ordering. Waiter also made some recommendations. We ordered a bunch of items from lamb, to chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, fish, beef shortrib, pork belly, copelin fish and more. The cauliflower was really good since there wasn't lot of vegetable dishes. We ordered non-spicy. There are only two options: non-spicy or spicy. There are seasoning jars at your table, eg. jars chili powder, cumin powder, salt etc, so you can sprinkle some chili onto meat if you opted for non-spicy. The flavors are really good and juicy, cooked to perfection. On each table is also a wooden canister to put your empty skewers into. i would recommend you order non-spicy, then you can sprinkle as much chili powder on your food as you want or not. The server gave each table a pitcher of water, however, we also ordered plum juice. Server did check in on us a couple of times during our meal. The room is fair size, but I think they custom built seating to max out space and it looks like every table was custom built to seat up to 4 persons not totally sure as i did not ask nor walked around the room but on glancing around, the tables look the same. If you have a group of more than 4 people , you should call the restaurant to see if they can reconfigure the seating arrangement or not. Each table is surrounded by custom built wooden lattice type separating each table and providing a sense of privacy yet you can still view the whole dining area. It was a lively happy mood, with music and air conditioning. We paid with credit card. The place opens till 2 am. I would go there again.

When in doubt, go get some meat on a stick @shenji_bbq You guys know I love my skewers, so I was so thrilled to discover a new BBQ gem in my neighborhood! @shenji_bbq is a new Northern Chinese BBQ restaurant with a huge selection of delicious bbq First of all, I like the wooden interior and the cozy vibe. I really appreciate the cool modem music that they play. I saw a lot of students and a fairly young crowd enjoying their bbq and having a good time •Spicy little crabcrayfish •Cold noodles •BBQ steamed buns •Cheese corn kernels •BBQ lamb skewer •BBQ chicken wings •Spicy hot tripe •Beef short ribs I really enjoyed the crayfish that was uniquely presented in a shovel! The spicy level was perfect for me and I washed it down with a cold beer. I could easily eat the whole plate to myself They taste like mini lobsters with chewier texture and sweeter The lamb skewers and the beef short ribs were tender and seasoned well. I find the prices better than other Chinese bbq places. The bbq bun was bomb, my personal favourite and it’s a must try! The spicy hot tripe in the pot with the broth was another standout! It’s tender with a bit of chewiness. It doesn’t have a strong taste and it’s able to take on the spices and flavours from the broth. I would recommend the cold noodles as a refreshing dish to counter the spiciness and tasty flavours from the bbq meats We had a great time and I know we will be back again

If I could give 0 stars I would. Huge rip off! I paid $38 dollars, and what I got looked like an appetizer! Barely any food. I bought BBQ: -Duck tongue -Big lamb kebab -bbq squid string There was barely any meat on the skewer. I think the skewer itself cost more than the meat. Just look at the photos. How is this acceptable? After this, I ended up having to place another order from another restaurant to actually get some food. I recommend avoiding this place. See the photos and judge for yourself.

Good food but pricy. Shop is clean do not have many big table, most booths are for four.Food: 5/5

First time here and everything was pretty good! I have nothing to complain and only good things to say about this restaurant. ‍
