Nice Meating You BBQ in Coquitlam offers a vibrant spot for those who appreciate intensely flavored, casual barbecue skewers in an unpretentious setting. This restaurant leans into the lively, somewhat bustling atmosphere that comes with a compact space filled with stools and shared tables, encouraging quick, energetic dining rather than a long, leisurely meal.

Centered around a menu rich with a wide assortment of grilled skewers, from lamb and beef cuts like tongue and throat to more adventurous choices such as tripe and lamb kidney, the focus here is clearly on delivering bold, savory tastes served piping hot. Each table is fitted with a hot plate, keeping skewers warm throughout the meal—a practical touch that fits its communal, hands-on dining style. Alongside skewers, cold dishes like spicy chicken and mixed vegetables provide a nice contrast, and dishes like garlic grilled wings and spicy fried clams add to the variety.

This place works best for groups eager to share a variety of flavors and explore different textures—think of evenings with friends looking for something casual yet flavorful. The pace is quick, with food arriving rapidly, which suits a more lively or spontaneous outing rather than a slow sit-down dinner. While the seating isn’t designed for lounging (the stools can be tight for long hangs), the energetic buzz makes up for it, especially on weekends or later nights when the crowd skews younger.

Regulars seem to appreciate the flexibility with spice levels, starting mild and adjusting seasoning individually, which helps cater to different heat tolerances. The casual vibe combined with solid drink options, including beer pitchers, reinforces its role as a local spot to dive into bold barbecue flavors without fuss.

Visiting Nice Meating You BBQ late in the evening fills the space with a lively crowd, making it a convenient choice for late-night bites. It’s not a restaurant for a quiet date or intimate gathering but for social groups and food explorers drawn to authentic, richly seasoned Chinese-style BBQ skewers in a straightforward, energetic environment.

This was such a unique dining experience! I was thrilled! You order a bunch of skewers that range in price and main dishes. We ordered: beef tongue, throat, pork belly, skin, squid, cauliflower, potato, toast, spring rolls, cucumbers and even more squid. Everything was delicious, well spiced and cooked to perfection! Everything came out so fast, it was thrilling to see our table fill up so fast! I love how different cultures have different dining experiences, where you can just sit and chat with friend for hours and pick at your skewers that they keep warm for you at the table. I will come back here in heartbeat! Its open late and seems to be always busy!

Somewhat small place, but wow are the skewers amazing or much. Our party of 3 ordered a variety of skewers along with some noodles, and we were not disappointed. An explosion of flavours in every bite, thanks to their generous seasoning and spices. You can always add your own as well if you want. Unfortunately, there was an issue where our order was never received (we did it online through the QR code), but the staff were mostly attentive. Had to flag them down a couple of times to double check, but it was smooth sailing once the food started rolling in. All in all, an enjoyable experience, and our party would definitely consider coming back another time.

Nice Meeting You has become our go-to place for amazing food and a great atmosphere. We absolutely love it here and have introduced several groups of friends to this spot and everyone we’ve brought has ended up loving it too! There’s a huge variety on the menu, so there’s always something new to try. The BBQ is always in our table and the beer pitchers are the one of the many reasons why we are keep on coming back its cheap that any weve tried . It’s just an all-around great place to hang out, eat, and enjoy time with friends. Can’t recommend it enough!

Seats are all in stools so not comfortable for hangout long. Food is good and served hot. Each table has a hot plate to keep the skewers warm. Clams are fresh and tasty. Suggested to order mild and add spicy level on own wish.

It was nice meating you Went to grab a late night snack here, and arrived at the place with a lineup of a young crowd outside, but we got sat down pretty quickly. The food here is definitely very flavourful and delicious - each bite is savory. The lamb skewers is my personal favorite and one of their signature skewers. And the spicy chicken is quite tender and juicy. Would come back to try other items on their menu! This is another hidden gem in this north road/mini plaza area. Good food and cozy vibes. Lovely place to bring good company or special someone to complete your late night out! There is free parking and limited spots. Alternatively, there is also more parking spots in the mini plaza beside it you can go to.

Skewers were fairly priced for the most part - seasoning was delicious - the pieces of meat was sized fairly , fresh and hot ! I loved the Intestine , gizzards, hearts and pork belly ! - The one skewer that was kind of a disappointing was the corn kernels - those didn't really have much taste - and the price didn't make sense - I wish this place was closer - as it could easily compete to be the best skewers in my heart. Parking here sucks though - they have a parking lot - however I don't think there is anywhere close to enough spots for both customers and there workers - so you will want to plan ahead as you might need to park further away.

My friend and I always pass by and never had a chance to try this place out. It was recommended to me by my sister. It's a nice and cozy spot. My friend and I ordered the garlic wings, sweet and sour pork, rice noodles with clam on tinfoil, beef short ribs, and the shrimp. I really enjoyed the sweet and sour pork, and the rice noodles with clam the most. It was very delicious. The service was quick and they were very attentive. I'll definitely come back .. but with a bigger group because we had to pack most of it home. I'd love to try more items on their menu.
