This was a lucky find. On our last night in town we stayed close to the airport(6:30am flight) and went hunting in the area for dinner. We pulled into Yaohan because I recognized that as a Japanese market that used to be in San Jose. Inside, the building was decidedly overrun by Chinese/Taiwanese ownership. No matter; the food court yielded a lot of great offerings including Datang. I’ll admit that I didn’t get my dinner here, but only because I found this only after the fact. But I couldn’t resist — their roasted pork looked so good that I had to ask them if they’d just sell me some by weight a la carte, which they did. Crispy, fatty and flavorful! What a great find in the middle of Richmond. If you’re in the area near Vancouver airport, stop on by!

Yummy BBQ Meats! Datang BBQ Express is located in Yaohan Centre. One would not expect great BBQ to come out of a vendor in a food court, but Datang has definitely defied that notion! I’m quite familiar with the BBQ shops in Richmond, and I have to say, Datang is definitely up to par! It’s pretty impressive considering that it’s located in food court. I ordered the BBQ duck and the marinated pork ribs and the portion size was just right! Both were delicious! The BBQ duck was tender, and the skin was flavourful and juicy. The pork ribs had been marinated very well, and had a deep, smokey flavour. The rice was long grain rice, which is my favourite! If you ask, they’ll also drizzle some of the delicious sweet BBQ sauce on your rice! I’ll definitely be back!

Datang is located in the food court of Yaohan Centre, re-opened under new owners couple months ago. I tried out their lunch today and it is awesome. Friendly service, reasonably priced and their BBQs are delicious. I think I’d be a regular from now on.
