King BBQ

This place has some interesting mixing between southern bbq and Chinese street-style food, both in what we ate and also in the vibe of the restaurant itself (Chinese decor with twangy country music). Our favorite was the wonton soup. The broth was light and flavorful and “homey”. The bbq rice was very good as well, especially with the 5 spice chicken. The duck was good, but we didn’t care for the Dan Dan noodles as much. It’s a fun place to try if you’re looking for something different.

My husband and I were excited to try out King BBQ as we’re fans of Chef Shuai Wang, and haven’t been able to try Jackrabbit Filly as they are unable to accommodate my husband’s severe shellfish allergy. We noticed there was no ability to make reservations, so we showed up on a Friday night and hoped for the best. As expected, there was quite a long line with no guarantee to be seated at a dining table in the main part of the restaurant, which is what we came for. Nevertheless, we placed our order after standing in line and were told we could stand to the side to wait for a table to open up.

We tried both the pork and poultry combo plates along with multiple sides. Not in the best or safest neighborhood, but they had a dedicated, well lit and paved parking lot.

Update: Giving I truly loved the crispy pork I did go back again. This time was worst. First bite and all I can taste was burnt and very salty and oily. I spit it out immediately. After going here so many times I just cant no more. Sad to say it but the once flavor it was is no longer. I even asked if they had a new cook. Sad to say no they did not. Added the 3 burt pics and it took over all the flavor. Just burnt After ordering for 3 days straight the crispy pork belly this is the 1st time it came so little. My kids will walk up the street and pick our order up. This time was the 1st time they said this was 1/2lbs. We typically will order 2 separate orders of 1/2lbs. We also order the ribs this time. The food was good just this time the crispy pork belly was not 1/2lb. We felt like we w
