The Meat Up Jù Diǎn Chuàn Ba

Very nice waiter who introduced us to every product and promotion but the food lacked the wham beijing bbq is known for.Food: 3/5

The food was delicious and the server was friendly, and quick response.

This little joint has a modern style interior, a very clean look. My party was there Friday evening, around 8pm ish. It was pretty busy but we did manage to get a table pretty quickly.After being seated, it did take a little while to get water and order I had to flag someone down for both. Staff was friendly though, and once I asked, I got what I asked for very quickly.We ordered the Combo A, the signature fried rice, 2 signature lamb xl skewers, as well as 5 skewers each (minimum of 5 per flavor per order) of the black pepper beef, beef throat, and traditional lamb. I enjoyed everything but was particularly liked the fried rice. My party was of the opinion that the skewers were better than the combo that came in the soup. I'm inclined to agree. While the combo was good, the skewers of grilled meat were definitely tastier.After our meal, the owner (presumably), came to our table to chat with us, see how we liked everything etc. My friend mentioned that he might be going to the Richmond location at a later date and she was happy to tell us about the other location and how the vibe and the food are purposefully slightly different. She was bubbly and very enjoyable to talk to, and is clearly passionate about the restaurant.All in all, it was an enjoyable experience with a small blip at the start, but that sometimes happens when it's busy and I don't fault them for that. The vibe was very relaxed and casual, the food was good, and the staff are responsive. I would definitely come back.Vegetarian options: There is a whole section of just BBQ veggies.Parking: There are a limited number of street parking spots in front of the restaurant, but there is also residential parking nearby. Finding parking can be somewhat challenging.

I’ve been coming to The Meat Up for a few months now whenever I’m craving authentic skewers! Great food, staff are always friendly, and price is reasonable too! My favourites are the spicy cold clams and chicken gristle skewers, but you can’t go wrong with anything from their menu. Highly recommend!

Recent experience was solid. All food items ordered had a good amount of flavour. Can be hard get someone's attention as there was only 1 server that evening.Food: 4/5
