We've found ourselves becoming regulars at Ming's now! The food is amazing. Melt in your mouth, super tasty, tender duck, crispy yet juicy, cooked to perfection!! The service is generally pretty good, can deteriorate when the place is very busy, but on the whole the staff are attentive and helpful. The restaurant isn't licenced but it's BYO and they don't charge for corkage. Highly recommended!

This place provide the best roast duck and roast pork in Perth...sucked in other places who had gone downhill since the generation change at Good Fortune.

Duck was always tasty without being over powering.
Roast pork was always freshly cooked and has the right balance of fat and lean meat.

This is one of my favourites, and I don't have many.
They serve a complementary broth (Asians call it soup, but its a broth) at the start, either a chicken broth or a pork bone mei chai soup.  Its one of those little extras that I look forward to.

The only negative is the constant change of "chopper", the guy who cuts up the meat...This affected the way meat was cut and presented.  To me, if a duck is cut up the wrong way...its ruined the hard work of the chef who roasted it

They do very tasty BBQ and stir fried dishes. One of our regular dining place in Perth. Hubby and I always go there very late and they still serve beautiful food with a big smile. Very friendly place, highly recommended.

The roast pork with egg noodles is delicious. Really nice crispy pork skin and the sauce on the noodles is tasty. Quick and efficient service and great for fast lunch-

As we explored the streets and back alleyways of Northbridge, my tastebuds got a workout too! Roasted ducks hanging in the window of Ming’s BBQ House enticed us inside. Here we tried roast pork, as well as delicious shredded duck in lettuce cups. Yum!

The portion of the dish is large, I can not finish by myself as a girl. The food is good for the money. And the service is good. I am sure I will come back again. It is one of my highly recommended restaurant.

One of the best menus I've seen in Northridge. Portions are large, tastes are authentic, and price is very reasonable. I'd recommend this place and go back again.

WENT here for lunch with Tracey and both of us agree that this ordinary and common chinese restaurant is actually quite different. For one, it is actually clean and tidy. The staff is polite too. They even served us a big bowl of soup as a free entree. I tried the boneless roast duck and roast pork. The portion is big for the already slightly below average price it set. The roas pork is juicy and thick, but the roast duck is average and a bit tasteless. I'm glad they provide sauce (taste sweet like honey). Overall it is a great lunch experience!

The restaurant is located in a busy street with ample parking close by. The food served was plentiful, tasty and extremely good value for money. Whether you are looking for a quick bite, or a relaxed evening with friends, Ming BBQ House is well worth a look. Being greeted on arrival by a smiling, friendly face is just the start!

Great food and a value for money not often found in Perth. $11.50 per head and we could it finish what was on our plates. We'll definitely be returning.

Attentive service, food was great value. Mongolian beef was excellent.fried vegetables very good and noodles ok. Chicken and corn soup lacked  flavour and was not warm hence discounted rating by 0.5

Excellent food all freshly cooked after ordering. Service was good although a bit haphazard at times. Duck seemed to be a favourite with diners and my adult son thought it was good. The hot and sour soup was the best I've had in Perth for some time.

Came here with a $49 Groupon 5 courses for two people. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and then we were seated. About 10 minutes later we got the first course- chicken and sweet corn soup. It was nice and hot and tasted like the traditional soup. Then we received the Peking duck with pancakes. They were very tasty. Next was the stir fry veggies and Mongolian lamb. The veggies were nice and still a bit crunchy, I don't like overcooked veggies. The Mongolian lamb was very average. Probably the worst dish of the night. When we received our duck noodles we were more than full. The portions were really big for two people. The noodles were bland and halfway through eating it, we discovered a fly in the noodles. We showed the girl and she asked if we wanted another noodle plate but we were full so didn't ask. Would come back again but will only have the Peking duck

Went with a scoopon. Arrived at 5.30 as had master 3 with us. Soups were very tasty, lemon chicken breast battered perfectly sauce on side in a little jug. Sizzling pepper beef, succulent beef with a nice hit of pepper. Plenty of meat in each dish. Side of garlic Asian greens very tasty. Lovely xo fried rice. Unfortunately we did stay for desert as little mister grumble pants had enough. If I lived closer would definitely return as food on menu is reasonably priced and each item ordered had been cooked well and was very tasty.

Finishing off a 7 course meal with just two people had proven to be quite a challenging mission to accomplish.  Andrew and I went to Ming’s BBQ House on a Saturday evening to utilise a Scoopon deal where we paid $45 for a 7 course Chinese dinner (from starter to dessert). This happened after we read OnePointFive review about her dinner. When Andrew first saw the voucher, he said that photos of the dish looked quite small and we'd probably ended up with vacant space in our stomachs afterwards.

This restaurant used to be Golden King BBQ House. New owner has renovated & decorated the restaurant, now looks modern & so much better.

I bought Scoopon voucher for 4 people and these are what we get:
- 4 soups: Sour and Spicy & Wonton Soup were nice.
- 2 entrees to share: Shredded Duck in Cabbage & Peking Duck were good.
- 2 fried rice: Seafood & Combination, both tasty.
- 2 vegs dishes: Mixed Vegs with Sambal & Kai Lan with Garlic, freshly made.
- 2 chicken/pork/beef dishes: Lemon Chicken (so so) & Pork Mince and Eggplant with Sichuan Sauce in Claypot (a bit oily to my liking).
- 2 seafood dishes: Stuffed Three Treasures (great) & Deep Fried Fish Fillet with Chilli and Pepper (not bad).
- 4 desserts: Vanilla Ice Cream with Black Sesame Mochi. Love the ice cream but not so much of the mochi.

We ended up with 4 full containers to take away coz it's just too much and we couldn't eat them all. It's such a great deal. Service was great. Lady owner was really nice & accommodating. We would go back for sure.

Came here with a Scoopon. 7 courses, was so worth it, which included soup, entrée, 2 mains and 1 veg dish, fried rice, dessert and drinks. Some food are quite salty and others bland but with a Scoopon it's definitely value for money!

For all the regulars. The boss ( BBQ Master) has been away for the last two weeks. Have a look in the window before you go in, didn't ask when he will be back.

Roast pork is king. Duck is meh.. Can't fault the roast pork except it sometimes comes out a little cold so we just get take-out now and heat it up in the oven at home. The crackling is spot on and never rubbery and the meat is seasoned nicely.
We also always get half a soy chicken which is usually moist and very tasty but recently that has changed a little and has come out a little bland and dry. Pick your game up golden king!
I stopped getting the duck a while ago as it's not very cost efficient to get a bony skinny duck with hardly any meat with mostly skin and fat and bones. I wished some place in perth would do roast goose which tastes just like duck but has plenty of meat. I didn't even know about roast goose until my trip to HK. Hole in the market there!

Peking Pleasure. GKBBQ provides a more than solid alternative as a "roast/bbq meat/fried noodles" eatery. A key differentiation, as others have pointed out, is the ability to order delicious Peking Duck on demand and have it served to you in quick time.

I do feel the need to address some of the critiques raised by other users regarding the alleged poor service levels at this restaurant, particularly from the "boss lady". This seems to be a bit of theme within the reviews and those that have visited the restaurant will know who is being referred to, as there is one female staff member who is more authoritative than the others.

I can say the negative perception of the service here is not consistent with my experience. On my most recent visit, I requested an order of 3 Peking Ducks as an appetiser, to which the lady recommended I reduce as she felt the order would be too substantial. Whilst I disagreed with her view, I appreciated the gesture as she was looking out for my best interests at the expense of the widely accepted Keynesian principle of profit maximisation. Furthermore, she was not to have known that my eating colleagues and I thrive on a high-salt diet. When the order was finalised, she gave a wide grin and a "thumbs up" signal - anything but unfriendly.

The peculiarities with my order did not cease there, however, as I requested that the fried noodles (Peking Duck 2nd course) not contain any bean sprouts, as they are derived from legumes which I try to avoid at all costs. Alas, when the noodles were brought out, they did in fact contain bean sprouts. Almost simultaneously as this registered in my mind, I was somewhat startled as the lady immediately swiped the plate of noodles off the table so that the error could be rectified. I heard her scolding staff members in the kitchen about the error - perhaps the nastier side of her as described by others however this was with the intent to please the customer.

My final comment may be somewhat contradictory given the length I've gone to in defense of the restaurant's service levels (I did not want the character assassination to overshadow this restaurant's quality):

For those who are giving this eatery the thumbs down due to service/lack of smiles from the staff, I remind you that this is Urbanspoon and not Friendster. I enter this restaurant not to address the innate human desire for friendship/companionship, but to satisfy my eyes, tastebuds and stomach - which should be the bottom line for all restaurant reviews. Was this achieved at GKBBQ? 3 Peking Ducks later, the answer is a resounding yes.

Lunch, chilli and duck fix. Often come here for lunch.
The duck is good and the roast pork as well. Relatively consistent.

But definitely try to get extra chilli... Their chilli oil is great. But the lady boss can be stingy with the chilli which is a bit of a downer sometimes.

Absolutely Traditional. Straight away a bowl of soup on the table once we are seated. Ordered Beef Fried Ho Fun (dry) and Roasted Duck with Noodle (dry). And they are simply delicious and traditional Canton / Hong Kong style. The roasted duck skin is crispy, thin and have a thin layer of fat underneath. The duck meat is juicy and marinated beautifully. The Ho Fun is not oily and seasoned very well. I will definitely go back if I got a home sick...

Great for a quick bite. Most of the roast dishes are pretty good and I regularly order the roast pork and tofu with rice.

One of the best things I like about this place that makes it stand out from the other BBQ places is that you always get complementary soup, even if you are just dining for for one!

Ducklicious!. This is one of those restaurant gems, where you get extraordinary quality food for a reasonable price. Don't be fooled by the interior, the duck and pork will surpass anything you get at much fancier restaurants.

We tend to get the duck done two ways, which is AMAZING!

Summary: Almost lit/10. Meals approximately $15 + drink. Free water Pretty good tried the basics as a casual. Two mixed meats with rice was pretty good, had the boneless duck and bacon for $14.50, the sauce on the side made it taste so good not sure what it was. The fried rice was okay, had with prawn and chicken pretty sure won't really recommend the prawn as a choice. Curry was good, good portions tasted fine. Overall price is very good, cleanliness is not perfect but pretty high, customer service is excellent although no younger staff though from what I saw, the basic foods were good value for money especially compared to other restaurants in northbridge

Nice little restaurant hidden amongst the many restaurants in Northbridge. The noodle soup was delicious and the serving size was spot on (decent). Food was very fresh and cooked very well. The place was quite busy however food was served quickly and staff were very pleasant. There were a few staff around to help, which is always nice. Street parking in front of the restaurant is available but there were not many spaces. Chinese tea was only 50 cents pp which was great. Overall, this is a great restaurant and I will definitely be back to Ming's BBQ House!

A good place to dine in. Food was good, the price is reasonable, the serving was fast, the owner is polite & nice and the background music was some traditional Chinese music which was calming & suitable for the dining environment. Over all its good. I've keep coming back here several times.

A solid choice of restaurant in Northbridge for Cantonese BBQ and Roast meats as well as Cantonese rice, noodle and side dishes. Perhaps the speciality being the Cantonese BBQ and Roast offered very good roast pork, and a decent roast duck. However, the other food on offer is generally up to the mark too for a casual Cantonese meal centred around BBQ and roast meat. They offer an a la carte menu with both sharing and single meals, with special deals available for lunch. Prices are reasonable.

~$14 for 2 mixed meat rice and veg. I paid another $1 for more veg. The duck was most bone but that's ok as the roast pork was really nice. For the price I'm very happy. Shallot pancake was too oily - I think it was double fried from the colour.

I don’t usually review restaurants but was compelled to on this occasion. Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants in Northbridge! Food was top notch and service was great.
