Yummy BBQ Kitchen

my son and i have a tradition of doing chinese food for thanksgiving - decided to try 'yummy bbq kitchen' - or shaoweiju shaola restaurant in chinese - and i can now say i absolutely adore this place and we will definitely be back!the people working are kind and friendly, the food is fantastic - the roast duck is the best duck i've had in my life, and the singapore-style chow mein with shrimp we had was some of the best chow mein i've ever had as well.all the ingredients taste fresh and i'm sure they're local. the prices are very reasonable given the crazy economy we're dealing with these days. 5 stars easy, highly recommended. we'll be back soon!

The chicken and duck here are very flavorful, prices are very reasonable as well. This is becoming my new fave BBQ place. I have yet to try noodle dishes they offer.

Beef chow fun is my go-to when trying a Chinese restaurant, this one has good wok-hei antasty, okay pricing too I think the place got a bit of a refresh look and The workers are very nice as well, will be back and recommend a try!

To be clear: I had a nice time chatting in Chinese with the lady at the counter. I can't fault the service.But I can fault the food. I wanted char siu (BBQ pork) so why not go to a place with BBQ in the name? Ordered, picked a veggie, watched them chop my pork. It was a tiny portion, which was actually a blessing in disguise given the dry, grizzled texture. It wasn't the worst char siu I've ever had but probably the worst in a Chinatown.

My mom and I shop here once in while. Today is the second day of Lunar NY, most shops were closed. Came in around 10:30am, or it would be busy like other shops. My mom and I made a quick stop before heading home to do some more prayers. We purchase a whole roasted duck and a pound & half of roasted pork. Both were fresh cooked from the oven and it was volcano hot!! The service is always nice and fast. The guys there are always accommodating with what we want and don't want. Or if my mom wants extra things, they're nice and give us a discount. It's a really small space with limited tables if you want to order a rice plate and eat there.

Food is just ok, nothing special... very small place so expect a loud environment. They mostly have to go for yo their jack of seating available. There is lots of people that come and go, so they must be doing something right. Price is ok, not too expensive for a duck, pork ribs and chicken combo, their steam rice I don't recommend. This place is ok for a wick lunch.

We rolled in here late to get some dinner takeout. It was around 5pm on Saturday and their duck was already sold out so we settled with charsiu and roasted pork. Everything was cooked perfectly and definitely solved my craving for roasted pork. Just a bit sad that I couldn't get the duck since my bf loves it. Seems like they change the veggie options as well since we got lotus root instead of bokchoy or other veggies in the photo. They only accept cash, Venmo or Zelle. Other than that, we were happy with the meal and will go back to try their duck.

Delicious lunch special - you can choose rice and three items or noodles and two items for $6! Are you kidding me?! 6 dollars for a meal in San Francisco. Unheard of. Even if they raise the price, it's still a great deal. You can pick from rice, noodles and two sides which include various protein and veggies. I got the braised beef and broccoli with fried noodles and it was tasty. The owners are really nice and speak Chinese and English!

This place straddles the line between BBQ joint and restaurant. They have the typical roast meats, but they offer multiple permutations of meal options that use the BBQ meats. More than just your boring roast meat over white rice pairing. I'm especially a fan of their noodle soup with BBQ meat.Sweet & Sour Pork w/ Chow Mein: This kinda looked like something from Panda Express, but tasted much better. The pork chunks were bigger and very firm and nicely fried. If I was a betting man, I'd even suspect they twice-fried yesterday's crispy pork belly that didn't sell. Anyway, it all tasted great with the sauce and peppers and pineapple. Pro-tip, you can substitute the chow mein with white rice, which I think goes very nicely with the pork. Unfortunately, they wasted space with some green vegetable side dish. Would have much preferred if they just put more sweet & sour pork in that slot.BBQ Pork, Roast Pork with Rice Noodle Soup: First of all, these weren't rice noodles. They were more like the egg noodle used in wonton soup. But that's actually a plus in my book since I only like rice noodles in pho. Anyway, I absolutely love the combination of noodle soup and freshly cut BBQ meats. The soup broth and all the starch of the noodles really help cut the saltiness of the meats. Much better than munching the meat by itself or with a little rice. Best of all, the last few slurps are broth are full of flavor from the meat!Roast Duck w/ Wonton Noodle Soup: Another nice pairing of roast meat and noodle soup. The duck meat portion was smaller than the pork in my other soup, partly because there were fewer pieces but also because the duck had bones. But to compensate for that, there were six large wontons. So meaty, they were like pork meatballs with a light doughy wrapper around them. It was a bit of an effort to careful pick off the meat and skin from the bones. More concentration than I usually care to spend on soup. But it still tasted nice together. Unfortunately, not edamame as was seen in the photo.

Not an honest business. They told me to grab a drink from the fridge when I paid for food only to charge me $12 for the coconut water before I left.
