Din Ho Chinese BBQ Char Siu (BBQ Pork) Price

The Char Siu, or BBQ Pork, on the Din Ho Chinese BBQ menu is a classic Cantonese entree. This dish features juicy pork belly that is marinated and then roasted to create a sweet and sticky red glaze. The Char Siu price at Din Ho Chinese BBQ ranges from $16.95 to $21.95.

Char Siu is a staple of Cantonese cuisine, with its origins in the barbecue traditions of Southern China. The name literally means "fork roasted," which refers to the traditional cooking method of skewering long strips of seasoned pork and roasting them over a fire. The taste is a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The marinade is made with honey, five-spice powder, soy sauce, and other ingredients that caramelize during roasting, creating a delicious and slightly charred exterior while the meat inside remains tender and juicy. At Din Ho, the dish is served with egg noodles, cilantro, fried shallots, and chopped green onions.

As one of Austin's most respected Chinese barbecue restaurants since 1996, Din Ho sets a high standard for classic Cantonese cuisine. The Char Siu at Din Ho has often been compared to the BBQ pork at other top Chinese barbecue spots in the city. It competes directly with the Char Siu at First Chinese BBQ, another long-standing institution known for its classic Cantonese roast meats. The choice between them often comes down to a diner's preference for the specific sweetness and spice blend of the marinade and the exact texture of the roasted pork.
