Tasty BBQ Restaurant serves Chinese and Asian favourites from New North Road in Mount Albert, Auckland, with pickup available every day from 11am to 11pm. True to its name, the kitchen's calling card is its Chinese BBQ roasts: whole roast duck, whole roast chicken, soya sauce chicken, and roast crackling pork and BBQ pork sold by the kilogram, alongside a Roast Combination platter that brings the house roasts together on one plate. Those same roasts ripple through the rest of the menu as noodle soups, fried noodles, fried rice and the ever-popular 'on rice' plates. Beyond the roasts, the menu runs deep: crispy entrees like deep fried wontons and dumplings, soups from wonton to hot & sour, six congees, salted pepper seafood, tofu casseroles, Chinese takeaway classics like sweet & sour pork and lemon chicken, more than a dozen fried noodle dishes, ten fried rices and fifteen rice dishes. Ordering is easy through the online menu with pre-order and pickup-time selection, paid securely by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal. Regulars rate it 4.4, with top sellers led by sweet & sour pork or chicken, salted pepper squid, chicken and BBQ pork fried rice, roast pork on rice and deep fried wontons.
Tasty BBQ Restaurant brings classic Chinese and Asian cooking to New North Road in Mount Albert, Auckland. The formula is simple and much loved: a deep, wide menu built around Chinese barbecue roasts, generous wok dishes and hearty rice plates, served for pickup every day from 11am until 11pm. Whether you're after a quick single-dish dinner or a full spread to carry home for the family table, the kitchen's answer is the same — familiar classics, big flavours and an unusually long list to choose from.
With 'BBQ' in the name, the roasts are the heart of the menu. Customers can order a whole roast duck, a whole roast chicken or a whole soya sauce chicken — the kind of centrepiece order that turns a simple takeaway run into a feast. Pork fans can take home roast crackling pork or BBQ pork by the kilogram, while the Roast Combination gathers the house roasts together on one platter.
Those roasts travel across the rest of the menu, too. Roast duck, roast pork and BBQ pork appear in noodle soups, fried noodles, fried rice and the ever-popular 'on rice' plates — a topping ladled over steamed rice, in the format local diners know well. Ordering a kilo of crackling pork plus a couple of fried rices is an easy way to feed a group without cooking a thing.
Around the roasts, the menu stretches wide. Entrees cover all the favourites: deep fried wontons, spring rolls, steamed and fried dumplings, salt & crunchy chicken, deep fried chicken wings and spicy deep fried duck chin. The soup list runs from wonton soup to hot & sour, chicken & sweet corn, laver with egg and Xihu beef soup, and congee gets six versions of its own — plain, chicken, beef, fish, roast duck and pork with century egg.
Seafood is well covered with salted pepper prawn, fish and squid, along with prawns tossed with cashew nuts or broccoli. Casseroles simmer with seafood combination, chunky fish, roast pork and slow-cooked beef brisket, and the tofu and vegetable section runs to a dozen dishes, from salted pepper tofu and Malaysian deep fried tofu to gai lan with oyster sauce.
The meat dishes read like a roll-call of Chinese takeaway classics: sweet & sour pork or chicken, lemon chicken, honey garlic chicken, kong po chicken, pork ribs with Peking sauce, and lamb with cumin or sizzling on an iron plate with ginger and spring onion.
Noodle lovers are genuinely spoilt. There are seven noodle soups and more than a dozen fried noodle options — Singapore fried vermicelli, Malaysian-style rice noodles, Shanghai thick noodles with BBQ pork, combination and seafood fried noodles among them — plus ten fried rices, including Yang Zhou fried rice and chicken with salted fish. Fifteen rice dishes round out the menu for anyone who wants a complete meal in a single box.
The menu also flags gluten-free, vegetarian, sugar-free and dairy-free items, so mixed-diet groups can usually find something for everyone.
Ordering is built for convenience. The full menu is online, so you can browse at your leisure, pre-order ahead and choose a pickup time that suits — handy right at the 11am opening or in the middle of the dinner rush. Payment is secure, with Visa, Mastercard and PayPal accepted.
Regulars have their favourites, and the restaurant's top sellers show it: sweet & sour pork or chicken, salted pepper squid, chicken fried rice, BBQ pork fried rice, roast pork on rice and deep fried wontons lead the list. A 4.4 rating from diners on the restaurant's ordering site suggests those picks are well earned.
With twelve hours of service a day, every day of the week, Tasty BBQ Restaurant is an easy answer for lunch, a late dinner or a weekend feast of roasts, fried rice and congee in Mount Albert.
