Where Chongqing Spice Meets Smoky Street-Style Indulgence

Tucked away in Richmond Hill, Miss Qu Barbecue & Restaurant brings the fiery heart of Chongqing barbecue to the Greater Toronto Area with boldness, charm, and serious grill mastery. Founded by the eponymous Miss Qu, the restaurant is a vibrant homage to Jianghu cuisine—the smoky, spicy, and unpretentious street food culture that defines Chongqing’s back alleys.

At Miss Qu’s, the skewers are seasoned with swagger. Charcoal-Grilled Spicy Pork Ribs, Cumin-Scented Lamb, and Yellow Croaker on the Grill are deeply marinated, kissed by flame, and best enjoyed with cold beer and laughter among friends.

But the standout dish—the one that wins hearts—is the Spicy Eggplant. Crispy on the outside and meltingly soft within, each baton is wok-tossed with dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns. The result is a heady, addictive dance of sweet, spicy, numbing intensity, with a whisper of tanginess and richness that lingers long after the last bite. It’s not just an appetizer—it’s a dish that demands rice, conversation, and reverence.

More than just a restaurant, Miss Qu Barbecue is a place to unwind, linger, and revel in unapologetically regional flavours. Unfiltered and transportive, it offers Chinese barbecue in Toronto at its most thrilling—a fiery taste of Chongqing’s smoky street spirit.
