That BBQ pig heads and all those duck heads really makes a great photo opportunities!
When we arrived at almost closing time at Kum Hong BBQ Restaurant.. not much choices left.. all the Roasted duck was gone... 1/5 of the roasted pig left... and some BBQ pork.
Customers lining up trying to get some takeout to share with their families.. or in our case, we just too lazy to cook...
BBQ Pork is A-OK! Good mix of fat and lean pork... a little salty but balanced out with a hint of honey. 3 Star
Roasted Pork is one of the best I have. Skin still perfectly crisp, and that crunchy sound that it made in my mouth is just priceless!! The pork itself is nice, tender and juicy... hmmmmm... 4 Star
I think we will definitely be back if some one doesn't feel like cooking a full meal... and it might be next week!!
Service here is fast but indifferent... but who cares?
They accepts Cash only!Listed in: BBQ the Chinese Way!

15 Word Summary: Best takeout Asian BBQ Pork, in terms of price, flavour, and quick takeout turnover blah. (there it's 15 words)
BBQ'ed food is already legendary as is but Asian style BBQ is some sort of mythical magical food expedition that you only get to experience if you're lucky and end up in a great restaurant.
Luckily Kum Hong BBQ is one of those great restaurants. For $5.25 (CASH ONLY) you get a bed of rice with a good serving of juicy, delicious, amazing BBQ pork. In terms of price, flavour and texture, this BBQ CANNOT be beat (yes I challenge you to find a competitor!).
However I have to say that this place really isn't much of a "restaurant". Tea is self-serve, there's no real dining space except for two small counters where you will be crowded by the lineup of people looking to fill their appetites with BBQ Pork, chicken, duck, etc. But I don't really care as long as they can keep the cost as low as this! -

This place has delicious Chinese BBQ Meats. it is $5.50 for rice + 2 meats (or one) with the choices you can have something different every day of the week. the BBQ Pork is amazing, one of the best i've had especially if they still have half fatty. the bbq chicken wings is perfectly glazed and flavoured (my fav). the roasted pork has a great ratio of meat + fat + crunchy skin. you have go to try every combination! will differently come back for lunch take out.

I decided to venture out of my comfort food zone and try something incredibly meaty, and well, BBQ-ed. Kum Hong is a take out Korean BBQ place nestled in a suburban plaza near many commercial buildings. Seriously, every restaurant offering a lunch deal thrives like it's nobody's business.
On my early evening visit I was weirded out by the BBQ-ed pigs heads, resting it up a la Lord of the Flies. Many a sleepless nights I suffered throughout grade nine and a flashback to raw meat was really throwing my hungry body off. Stomach says eat, brain says run.
I ordered the BBQ chicken on rice, $5.75. The meat portion isn't meager by any means, but the Chicken:Rice ratio is out of whack. It also comes with the 'delectably' fatty skin. Obviously, BBQ is not my thing, so I sucked it up and gently pulled off the skin before eating. Not bad. Actually, much better. If you enjoy BBQ I'm sure you'll really like Kum Hong.
Be advised that the shop is not a really a sit down place, but I did see a couple of chairs at a high table near the window. Cash only! -

"The one with the awesome BBQ pork."
The Good:
Best BBQ pork I've had anywhere in the GTA area; relatively low price ($5.25, they don't charge tax); they let you (or more like they don't care) if you bring outside food in as long as someone else ordered; self-serve Tea
The Bad:
Not really suited for dine-in BBQ pork (they have a total of maybe 10 chairs along the side with stools and one table that can fit maybe 4 people); long lineups during lunch (but this is a sign that it's good!);
Overview:
If you're a fan of BBQ pork, this is a must eat. Simple as that. When I first started working around the Richmond Hill location, I wasn't too familiar with the places around here. On the first day of work for lunch a colleague of mine asked what I wanted to eat and I said: "something cheap and good". Well, we were soon at the parking lot on Valleymede just north of Highway 7. It's in the same plaza as the McDonald's there. When you step in, it's relatively undecorated but I knew that this wasn't really meant for a dine-in seeing as how there weren't many tables (although many BBQ pork places aren't anyway). Still, they had a long table-bench against the two walls of the inside with stools placed accordingly for those who did want there. There was also one single small table for a party of 4 to dine-in. The menu can be somewhat confusing, but I'll break it down here: They have a Small and a Large rice box, with your choice of two meats to go on top of it. The main ones that people often get are BBQ pork, Soy Sauce Chicken and Roasted Pork. Most people just get a "Small BBQ Pork on Rice", which has two servings of BBQ pork on rice and it comes out to $5.25 (they don't charge tax, which is pretty decent). You can switch one serving of meat to any of the others for no additional cost. Sometimes they even have specials like Curry Squid which you can swap out for 25 cents more (I personally found the squid to be OK, but my friends love it. The curry is pretty spicy and the squid's not baby squid...it's the larger ones which I'm not a big fan of). The large box, I can't remember how much it cost, but I've been there time and time again and I wouldn't recommend it. It was about $2 more I think and all you get is a lot more rice and a little bit more meat, served in what looks like to be a somewhat larger container. The small is pretty filling as it is and it's definitely the best bang-for-the-buck. You can also order just the meats themselves which is an even better value although I wouldn't recommend just eating the meats alone for a meal...you'd probably want some rice to go with it. If you're taking out, then I recommend getting a pound of BBQ pork: it comes out to $5 or so and it has double the amount of meat on a regular Small BBQ Pork on Rice. It's perfect for takeout or if you were somehow keen enough to bring rice from home and just share it with a friend (=.
Anyway, regarding my first lunch there, we both ended up getting a small BBQ pork on rice and each spent $5.25. As it was my first time there, we decided to dine in. We found two stools along the side and each got some self-serve tea from the corner near the window. The quality of the BBQ pork is just absolutely fantastic, probably the best BBQ pork I've had. It's more on the "glazed and crunchy" side of BBQ pork so for those who like the softer types than this might not sit well with you but definitely give it a shot because I used to like the soft type too before this. Now, I can honestly say it's the best BBQ pork in the GTA area and for $5.25, it's a steal.
Between long consecutive meetings throughout the afternoon, my colleagues and I often come here for "BBQ Pork Runs". Relatively quick (might have a bit of lineup sometimes), cheap, good quality food...you can't go wrong. I sometimes even come along with a friend if he didn't bring a packed lunch and I did; I'd still dine in as long as there were many open spaces (don't want to take up a spot of someone who actually did buy and wanted to dine-in), and they don't mind. Definitely recommended - you won't be disappointed.
