Extra Bbq House

This place is now revamped with a similar (same?) worn-​down menu and different name. However, the BBQ meat was surprisingly good and not too expensive! I used to be a long-​time patron of the other BBQ shop beside this one in the food court, but I’ve noticed recently, they’ve raised their prices and lowered their quality, taking advantage of their loyal customers…
So with the renos completed, I’ve finally had a chance to try Extra BBQ house and got the 3-​platter of BBQ pork, Roasted Pork and Red Sausage. All three were done quite well. The skin on the roasted pork didn’t seem traditional but was crispy. The meat was more tender than other BBQ places I’ve had. And the price was sub $ 8! Definitely great value for your money since the portions are gigantic!

New Chinese BBQ stand 2 places away from the other Chinese BBQ place in First Markham.
The place itself is so close to the other BBQ place that you can actually take a step back and look at both menus at the same time. The people here are nice enough and it had quite the long, despite the recency of its opening.
The Three Kinds of BBQ on Rice was only $ 7.50 and I opted for Roast Pork, BBQ Pork, and Roast Duck. The BBQ Pork was easily the best thing they had there. The pork meat was steaming hot, sweet, and just the right amount of fat. Real tender pieces of meat. The roast duck was crap because I got the ends of the duck breast and didn’t get any dark meat either. Might as well have just served me skin. The roast pork was pretty good. The skin was very crisp and crunchy, while the meat was equal parts fatty and meaty.
Not bad for a new place, but I still find the other place slightly better. You also take a chance because for duck, you almost always want the breast meat, while the roast pork rating changes per person (whether you like it fatty or not). Definitely try and brush up on your Cantonese before you order…

New kid on the block in the ever busy FMP food court. Ordered the roast pork with chicken combo. I did not know what to expect with the quality. The roasted pork had a nice taste and texture, the skin has a nice crunch without being too hardm. Not too fat and good balance of spice to giving the meat nice flavour. The chicken was flavorful, not the typical Canadian mushy chicken with zero flavour. The meal came with napa cabbage and a bowl of old fire soup that again was flavorful and not just flavored water many places offer.
I will return to try out their other offerings and see if they are consistent with quality.

Well what do you know… Hunan Fine Food lasted maybe 3 months before it closed down. It’s replacement? Extra BBQ House. The food court in First Markham Place once again has two BBQ stalls now (remember Van’s BBQ?)!
Extra BBQ tries to differentiate from its DKS neighbour and competitor. One of the specials that they offer is peking duck for $ 25. Yup, you can order peking duck from a fast food stall in First Markham Place! Of course they will prepare the duck slices from you, as well as what we call the «second portion». You’ll also get the pancakes along with it, though it will cost $ 5 extra for more than one box.
I really wanted to give this place 4 stars, unfortunately there were certainly not enough duck slices considering the fact it was $ 25. I ended up having more pancakes remaining than duck, so I ended up using the pancakes for other parts of my meal.
Peking duck is easily better to eat dining in, not taking out. However if you simply want your basic peking duck experience without dining in, by all means this place fits the criteria.
