Sun Wah BBQ
Hong Kong–style barbecue with a signature Beijing duck dinner.

Notable Picks

$$ Uptown Chinese, BBQ
A longtime Uptown destination for Hong Kong–style BBQ where the duck program is the main event and the rest of the menu rewards group ordering. Go with a plan—lock in the duck dinner, add one noodle or rice dish, and let the roast meats do the heavy lifting.
Must-Try Dishes: Beijing duck dinner, Roast duck, BBQ pork buns
What Makes it Special: Hong Kong–style barbecue with a signature Beijing duck dinner.
$$$ Uptown Chinese
A Sichuan-heavy menu built for bold flavors and big-table ordering, where dry-chili heat and peppercorn tingle are the point. It’s strongest when you mix textures—one crispy spicy dish, one tofu or veg plate, and a soup or noodle bowl to reset the palate.
Must-Try Dishes: Dry chili chicken, Mapo tofu, Smoked tea duck
What Makes it Special: Sichuan classics with real dry-chili and peppercorn punch.
$$ Uptown Chinese, Dim Sum
A big Uptown dining room known for all-day dim sum and classic Cantonese staples, best approached like a cart-driven tasting. Keep it disciplined: pick a handful of dumplings, add one fried or baked item, and finish with one comforting noodle or rice plate.
Must-Try Dishes: Har gow (shrimp dumplings), BBQ pork buns, Turnip cake
What Makes it Special: All-day dim sum in a classic Uptown dining room.
$$ Uptown Chinese, BBQ
An Asia on Argyle staple for Cantonese BBQ and rice plates where roast meats are the reliable move. Treat it like a build-your-own combo: pick one roast, add one second meat for contrast, and round it out with something brothy or seafood-forward.
Must-Try Dishes: Roast duck on rice, BBQ pork, Clams in black bean sauce
What Makes it Special: Cantonese BBQ rice plates and roast meats done the old-school way.

Must-Try Dishes: Kung Pao chicken, Beef chow fun, Mapo tofu
What Makes it Special: A calmer Uptown sit-down Chinese option with a modern feel.
