There is another review for this restaurant that urges you to eat here no matter what. The author outlandishly claims that the food is so good that not eating it will be the biggest mistake of your life. They insinuate that no matter the cost, you should take time to make it to this restaurant. They are completely correct. Chef Tom was personable and helped us order the perfect food for our road trip. The vibes were immaculate sitting in the foothills of beautiful Mt. Shasta. We will return. Don't miss your chance. read more

Talk about a hole in the wall. If it wasn't for the bbq and smoker equipment you could easily miss this place. We actually found it by accident. GPS was programmed for a different place but we ended up here. At first glance there's not much to look inside the restaurant. At the time, the place was empty. We were the only customers. It would be a three star rating just by looking. You have to question, is this a restaurant and is it open? We were greeted by the owner/chef/server/greeter! A one man operation. Very friendly, personable and knowledgeable chef. A cool dude. I give this place a five star because of the food and the one man staff. The BBQ was spot on delicious. The Pork Spareribs (1 rack) with 2 rice plate (for two people) was juicy and full of flavorful smoke and Thai influences. The Three Smoked Meat rice plate was also delicious. The smoking and Bbq are done using wood. No charcoal or gas. You can really taste the natural wood smoke flavor in every bite. I'm glad we found Asian American BBQ by accident, I'm also glade it was not his usual rush hour time when we arrived! This place is a classic cliche phrase "don't judge a book by its cover." If ever we are back in Weed, CA, we're definitely be back! read more

The brisket was really flavorful, had a good texture; it melts right in your mouth! The rice was plain white, and complimented the meal well. However, the plate did feel like it was missing something, another side (veggies?) perhaps. I will add that for the plate I paid $27 which seemed a bit high for just brisket & rice! The atmosphere (for being a Saturday) was nonexistent, and did not feel dine-in friendly. Service was quick and efficient. Consider this as an excellent take out option. Since I was just passing through town and hungry, it met my needs read more

BBQ with an Asian twist. This was everything and more that I thought it would be. If you're in the area definitely a must try. The owner was super helpful and welcoming. Took a few minutes to get our food, but as we were told this isn't fast food, but it's good quality food. He was right, definitely worth the wait. Menu is very straight forward. We had the BBQ brisket and smoked pork belly. Each came with rice and portions were very generous. Loved the Asian bbq sauce that came with it. BBQ was very smoky, fatty and rich. Everything you could want. Loved that it came with jasmine rice. Perfect pairing. Would return. read more

I changed my travel plans so I could stop in on my return trip to Bend after stopping on my way north. Just some of the best unique BBQ I've ever had anywhere. The brisket and beef ribs are a must try but if he has any specials they have never disappointed. The venison larb that was on the menu was a great rendition of a traditional Thai dish with a less than traditional protein. read more

What a surprise! Larb made with pork, beef and venison. As hot as we wanted it! Fun owner. Beyond super casual. Unique and expansive view of Mr Shasta sitting outside. read more

This is a perfect example of a "whole in a wall". Don't blink when you're driving to this restaurant because it's so easy to miss! The only signage is the one on the front window. There's a small open sign lit on the side but it's easy to miss that too. What gives it away is the number of barbecue grills in front and the smoke coming out of it. If you're looking for a fancy restaurant, this won't be for you. If you're looking for great barbecue, then you're in for a treat! The owner, Thomas is the only one working there and doing everything! We didn't have to wait because we came at an odd time after lunch and not the rush hour. He is very friendly and accommodating. He definitely knows what he's doing! The restaurant needs a little bit of organizing. He has a lit signage inside the restaurant so I suggested for him to move it outside to attract more customers. He said the food will do all the talking and marketing for the restaurant. I agree 100 percent! He has a lot of locals ordering from him. He goes by word of mouth. We stopped by for a late lunch on our way to Oregon. Coming back, we stopped by again to get some barbecue to take home. Totally worth it! read more

SO GOOD! Highly recommend this place. Please note that spicy means spicy! The gentleman preparing the food is so kind and very proud of his food, rightfully so! I will be stopping by again the next time I'm in town. read more

Try the larb goat meat was on the spicy side but great taste. Reminds me of beef hot salad. We ended up rafting outside because it was much cooler. We also got the three meat plate, wasn't for me but my partner really liked it. A bit in the pricy side but it was a new place great taste and I would come back for the goat meat. read more

We love running into hidden gems on road trips. Driving through Weed, CA, we were not expecting to stop for any meals really. But doing a quick search in surrounding area, we knew we just couldn't pass this up. As many reviewers have already indicated, you go for the food. And the food is good. It's not cheap, but good quality stuff shouldn't be. We ordered several things to try and everything was delicious. Love the no-fluff vibe and the street side setup. Owner/chef was very friendly. read more

It is a small place. Owner operated. You wouldn't even notice it if it weren't for the smoke and mouth watering aroma of the outdoor BBQ pit in the front. (Just let your nose guide you.) The food . . . just as good (if not better) than the smell! I had the #2 Special - 3 meats (beef, pork & chicken) mixed with veggies (peas, carrots, celery & bamboo chutes) in the most delicious BBQ sauce. Served with a side of rice. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! It is owner operated. The owner is an absolute gem! He was so friendly. Offered some suggestions. Made sure everything was good with us. And, the prices are reasonable. Approximately $20 - $27 per plate. But, 1 plate is enough for 2 people, unless you're a big eater. Definitely one of the BEST BBQ places I've ever been to. (And, I'm 56yrs old!) read more

Delicious BBQ rib and rice plate. 2nd time we've stopped here on way through town. No frills, full menu hasn't been available but we've been very pleased with our bbq. And sauce was on spicy side and delicious. read more

Do not let anything stop you from eating here. No matter what inconvenience stands between you and eating here, you will not regret weathering it once you've had your food. Whatever is telling you not to eat here, ignore it. Don't have time? Be late. Whatever you are hoping Asian American bbq is, it's that but better. If you don't go, you eventually will and then you'll never forgive yourself for all the opportunities you had to eat there that you passed on. Not eating here will forever be the worse decision of your life. read more

Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. Smoky and with a nice crust. Only thing that makes the BBQ Asian American is the slightly sweet sauce. Delicious. I never knew I wanted rice with BBQ but it was a win. You can watch the smoker and grill going right in front of the store read more

Asian-American Bar-B-Q - Ribs smoking - Barbeque Near Me - Weed, California

Wow! The wood smoke in the meats are soo delicious. Always stop here and grab several of the smoke tri tips, sirloins, ribs and of course his salads. Wonderful stop on the way to the PCNW. THE Price, well, beef is one part of the price, but smoking is an art and it takes time. Time is money. So, its priced accordingly. I don't have the time, so it's well worth it. YES, its not traditional American but it's Asian American Bbque with a twist. Changing it up, fusion let's say. Its all good. LAST note, it may be spicy for those peeps so maybe ask him for something mild. But spice is life otherwise we are in England. read more

We stopped by for dinner last night because we wanted pho and places were closed in Shasta. The price for the beef pho was $50 for an individual soup in this dumpy place with no atmosphere in no less than the town of Weed, CA. We were like "what the Pho?" thought it was a joke at first, but the owner confirmed the price and said it was because of the ingredients. We left somewhat dismayed and had to "phoget " about it. :) read more

The owner is so sweet and is very passionate about his food. I only stopped to a snack on the way back home so I ordered a Thai tea and sticky rice. I enjoyed his homemade Thai tea and his BBQ sauce!!! He always insists you take a bite or have a sip of your food before giving it to you. I will be coming back again to try out the BBQ!! The sauce is so addicting I'm sure it tastes amazing with the meat. read more

Wow! The flavor was amazing! Nice, friendly guy. Definitely a "hole in the wall" kind of place. Best BBQ I've had, ever. Gotta be that Asian twist!! read more

To the people who gave this establishment a poor rating: They have the best sauce and no one has ever complained. The owner insisted he feed us a bite of the food and give him a thumbs up or thumbs down before accepting our orders. What more needs to be said? read more

A MUST STOP! Amazing food and service from Thomas who has been here for the past 14 years! Loved the smell of BBQ, pulled us right in! Thank you for a great meal in weed. read more

Delicious!! We had the #18 beef, pork and Chicken with rice. So fresh and fast. The sauce for the rice was fantastic!! Worthy of 10 stars if I could! read more

Food was amazing. #18 mix plate pork beef chicken and #11 pho were both so good. Impressive that it is a one man show running the whole thing read more

Great Tri-Tip!!!Small place a bit of wait for food, but well worth it. Also call ahead save some time.

Stopped on Weed just to get this BBQ. Super excited. Pulled in and was told we needed to sanitize our hands before entering. Ok Looked at the menu and it looked fabulous! We ordered 2 combo plates with rice and pork dumplings. Cranky man said dumplings take a long time. That's ok, we're not in a hurry. Order was placed and paid and we were told to go outside. Too crowded inside for our 4 people. Ok! Got ourselves drinks from our cooler and got an outside table. Went to pick up our food and a guy at the inside table said to make sure to try the hot sauce so we asked for extra. Owner said no! You already got some.... Ok Started eating our meal and owner asked if everything was ok. Yup! He asked if we wanted more hot sauce..... um, ya!!! He came out with a smile, gave us tons of hot sauce and extra napkins. Bbq was fantastic, rice was dry. You'd think it would be perfect, right? So 4 stars for food, 3 service and 3 atmosphere since we were forced to eat outside. read more

What an amazing experience! Great food, and a really nice owner who's obviously passionate about BBQ! What a great surprise to stumble upon.

I've done the drive from the Bay Area, California to Oregon many times and usually disappointed with the food along the way especially in Redding but I am so glad I decided to stop here! On one of the signs it says something about please understand they are not a fast food restaurant which is true. From the time I got there, waited to order and walked out with my food was 30 minutes but definitely worth the wait. Got half rack pork ribs and these are the best ribs I've had in recent memory! They tasted exactly how I was hoping they would. The meat was cooked perfectly and plenty of flavor. I appreciate how they place the rice in a separate foil so it doesn't get soggy from the rib sauce. Even the rice was just perfect. I got there maybe an hour before closing and they had run out of the beef ribs which I'd like to try another time. Definitely will be returning. read more

Asian-American Bar-B-Q - Half rack pork ribs. Worth the wait! - Barbeque Near Me - Weed, California

This BBQ was sooooo good !! Pricey but delicious Our total came out to $130 & we got 6 Thai Teas (we drink so much Thai Tea, this was the best ) 2 pork belly w/ rice. 2 Pork ribs w/ rice. And 1 mixed plate w/ rice. My son got one of the pork ribs & he didn't eat it because the sauce was too spicy for him but I could hardly take spice & I didn't mind it ! I got the mixed w/ rice & man, . We eat a lot of BBQ and this was one of the best we've had. There is no indoor seating, just outdoors. We brought one of the pork belly ones home and it was still delicious. The staff is so sweet. We are traveling the US in our RV & man, I'm going here again before traveling again. read more

Old gas station converted into a restaurant. Very crowded inside with the owners supplies but enough room for about 14 people. We decided to eat in. The smell of the food makes your mouth water, then you taste it and it is a flavor explosion. My wife and I ordered the same thing. A combo plate of chicken, pork, and beef with rice. Nice portion size and all the meat was covered in the same sweet/spicy sauce. If you don't like spicy, order your sauce on the side. We had enough left over for lunch tomorrow! Briefly talked with the owner and it is clear he takes pride in his smoker and the food he creates. Wouldn't hesitate to return next time we are in town. read more
