Foodie Experiences
A jail-themed Coquitlam grillhouse where you cook makchang at the table and discover how adventurous you actually are.
Austin Avenue, Burquitlam
More infoMS K-BBQ found its calling card in makchang, the smoky, chewy grilled pork and beef intestine that regulars treat as a litmus test for the person across the table. You cook it yourself inside a playful jail-themed dining room that is begging to be photographed. The 'will you actually try this?' dynamic is a great date engine, and the kitchen runs until midnight.
Lean into the gimmick: this is the adventurous-date spot, so order the house makchang (grilled intestine) to actually try the thing it's famous for, plus a premium beef cut as the safe harbour. Cook at the table together, take the obligatory jail-themed photos, and don't miss asking your server how they like the makchang seasoned, they'll steer you right. Service is attentive and the room is lively, so it's playful rather than romantic. Budget close to two hours; there's underground and street parking, and the business next door lets you use their lot after close.
