BBQ King 第一燒臘
Hit-or-miss roast meats - timing matters
BBQ King 第一燒臘 embodies the classic Chinatown barbecue shop experience with its no-frills approach to Cantonese roast meats. When you catch them at the right time, their braised pork dishes are genuinely exceptional, and the roast duck can be beautifully juicy. The prices are reasonable and service is efficiently fast. However, freshness is a serious gamble here. Multiple reviews highlight the stark difference between getting freshly prepared items versus day-old leftovers, particularly with their roast duck. For a dish that costs $34, receiving stale duck is unacceptable. This inconsistency makes BBQ King a risky choice unless you can verify the freshness of what you're ordering.
