The Best BBQ Restaurants In Hong Kong And Where To Buy A Grill?

Smoke & Barrel: American Barbecue in Central, Hong Kong

For traditional American BBQ flavors, Smoke & Barrel in Central Hong Kong is one of the top picks. The food is barbequed in the imported wood-fired smoker hailing from Missouri, giving the most authentic taste of the in-house smoked meat. If you like to see all the action of the cooking process, you’ll be able to watch your meal on the barbeque at Smoke & Barrel with the open kitchen design. The menu has a unique blend of American classics with some Asian tastes, and of course, plenty of delicious drinks to pair with your meals.

The Grill: Poolside Barbecue in Admiralty, Hong Kong

It just feels more authentic to be eating barbeque outdoors, so we love the alfresco dining concept of The Grill with seafood and meat dishes, as well as salads, vegetable brunches, and lots of drinks. It’s not only outdoors on a gorgeous terrace, but also on the poolside at the Grand Hyatt in Wan Chai. Dine on the BBQ buffet, or choose al la carte options as you soak up the sun. Of course, there are mouth-watering desserts (try the Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream) and lots of wine by the bottle or glass.

YakiniKuu: Japanese Barbecue in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

Named after the Japanese word “Yakiniku” meaning “grilled meat” this BBQ destination serves great quality wagyu beef, cooked in some unique Japanese flavors. If you have any beer connoisseurs, they’re going to love the lineup of exotic Japanese beers. The exposed brick interior, booth seating, and dim lighting make for a relaxed, yet modern vibe. We’d say this one is great when you have time off from the kids and you go for a date night or with your friends.
