    A type of hole in the wall place that I have been eyeing quite sometimes. As I met up with another foodie at The Art of Cake, I was thinking to make a stop before going back to the south area. I didn't realize this business is CASH ONLY so I decided to do my quick grocery at Lucky 97 and asked for a cash back. No dining tables nor chairs! It's basically a place where you can get all your typical Chinese BBQ Chicken, Duck, or Pork. They also sell sausages, fresh noodles and marinated squids. This time, I bought a half roasted duck and a lunch combo with 1 item (I choose roasted duck). The duck was tasty. I'll be back to try the soya chicken or chicken feet.

    Barbecue King City is one of those hidden gems in Chinatown that specializes in what else but roasted and barbequed meats. I never realized one of my buddy's parents run this place and never been. Blasphamy. Needed to change that ASAP so I went solo one Friday afternoon to grab a late lunch. Located right beside 97 Hot Pot and near rival Super BBQ Delight (no idea if they're actually rivals but it sounds sexy), you probably will drive/walk right by it. Maybe not though because I've seen quite a few cops drop in for lunch and you know what they say about cops...they know all the good lunch spots! Hours are interesting as they're closed Thursday but open every other day (11am to 7pm). They have all the different types of meats (steamed, salted and roasted chicken along with pork, duck and squid) and noodles for sale. Everything is priced by the pound (around the $7-9/lb price range). - Two item lunch box ($7.00) - yeah, you read that right. $7.00 freaking dollars for a massive lunch box filled with your choice of two meats, rice and bok choy. Yeah, you even read that last part right - you get vegetables! Almost unheard of right? Anyways, I went with the classics - char siu (BBQ pork) and siu app (roasted duck). The char sui was moist and juicy while the roasted duck was tender and had a good fat (aka. duck skin) to meat ratio. The box is basically exploding with meat and rice but I was able to finish it all. Oops. Cash only. Seriously, for the price, you can't go wrong (if you're that hurtin', get the one meat combo for $6.00). Great spot if you want something quick and tasty to eat. So much better than CFL, just sayin'.

    My boyfriend was eager to drop in to this small location last week. Having just finished another meal I was a little hesitant, but in we went. It's a very small space intended for takeout or purchasing meat by the pound. We were not starving so we decided to share a lunch combo with two meat options. You get what you expect and sometimes that's everything you need. We chose the BBQ pork and the roasted duck. The meat comes with a generous serving of rice with a portion of bok choy on the side. We choose to have our rice with sauce on top- the other option presumably being no sauce. The combo comes with a fair portion of both meats, but once you start eating they seem to disappear. I have not eaten around much in terms of Chinese BBQ, and it was my first experience with barbecue duck. I have to say it was really delicious and some of the best I've had in the city! The meat was tender and full of flavour, it was perfectly juicy over the fluffy bed of rice. Of course the star was the crispy skin, absolutely amazing. I am a big fan of places that serve simple options prepared very well and Barbecue King hit the mark. It smelt so good I ate my half (and probably more) on our drive home. I was very impressed by the quality. There were several customers that were there ahead of us and even more followed in behind us. It was nice to see the shared appreciation for great food and amazing prices. The two piece lunch combo was less than $10! They are located downtown which can be a pain sometimes, but if you're in the area it's a great option! I would definitely recommend Barbeque King if you're looking for a fast and delicious Chinese BBQ. They do only take cash and it is all takeout, so make sure you come prepared, but it's absolutely worth it! Happy to five five stars for perfectly satisfying expectations. We will for sure be returning again!

Free parking in a lot outside. Service was warm and attentive. This is a place with a lot of atmosphere. Inside is big with high ceilings and comfy, roomy booths.

    Went here with a friend for supper…read more I really like the atmosphere here. Great historic building and I love the orginal wooden floors. It is a nice comfortable place to relax and fill up on some good eats. We started with two beers, and we went with the three meat platter with four sides. For the meats we went with Beef Brisket, pulled pork, and the St. Louis Style ribs. For sides we went with the garlic mashed potatoes, and the mac and cheese beans and corn. Staff were friendly and prompt. Meat platter came out and it was all excellent. Ribs were tender and flavourful, with a great smoky flavour. The pulled pork was tasty. However, our favourite was the smoked beef brisket. Tender and flaked with a knife. We enjoyed the mashed potatoes that were creamy and had a hint of garlic in them. Beans were tasty sweetend with molasses. Corn was my favourte side. It is really sweet and had a touch of cream. The only thing that wasn't quite up to par was the mac and cheese. It lacked flavour . All in all a great meal with lots of leftovers. This is a good place to get a nice filling meal, relax, and possible take some home.

    first time trying yesterday for a birthday dinner, wanted to try something new for everyone!…read morefood was absolutely amazing! we ordered the steamed dumplings, baekjeong combo for 3 and a few drinks. the marinated meats were easily a fan favorite from everyone! the seasonings were delicious and super flavorful and the meats were super soft and tender. service was spectacular. i personally love that there is a button to push to call for service so you're not being interrupted during your meal. everyone was super friendly and helpful to whatever questions we had. beautiful restaurant. the vibes were fun and cozy as soon as you walked in and the smells from the food being cooked just filled the air. overall, huge fan of this place and everyone even said this was not something they would have ever picked out themselves to do but will for sure be back after going. very happy with this as my birthday dinner choice

    We stopped by at this restaurant for dinner. We were a group of four and we decided to order the…read moreBaekjeong Combo for 3 and an order of deep fried dumplings. There were unlimited refills on the banchan. Service was excellent. There was a button to get the attention of staff. They were quick to respond to our requests for banchan refills. They would stop by frequently to clear finished plates. The food, itself, was quite good. The meat was fresh and some were nicely seasoned. The steamed egg dish was fluffy and went well with rice. We picked the soybean paste soup with tofu, beef brisket and veggies. I enjoyed the saltiness of the soup with rice as well. The dumplings were super crispy and were deep fried perfection. Ambiance was lively as the restaurant was busy. Restaurant was clean including the restrooms. There was plenty of free parking on the plaza. My only complaint is the price of the dumplings. I am too used to Lower Mainland prices that there was a sticker shock at $18.95. Maybe this is the normal in Edmonton?

    Just two words: FREAKING AWESOME!…read moreI love Korean food and I have gone to many Korean restaurants. One of my friends who is Korean, recommended this place so we decided to give it a shot. As we entered we noticed a very well designed restaurant with cozy atmosphere! The staff were very nice and friendly which made the experience even better. The food: I have never seen a quality like this! Everything was high quality and delicious! We did not have any leftovers!!! When we were going to leave, they gave us some sort of a small drink that I have no idea what it was but it was very refreshing and delicious! They met all of my expectations from a good restaurant and don't be surprised if you see I become a regular here! I highly recommend this place! :)

    Made a reservation as my friend said last time he came he could not eat because it was too busy…read more Place as 30% full Friday at 6:30PM - probably didn't need the reservation. Got the strawberry Soju. I loved it, friend did not. Tried the Baekjeong Combo for 2. Steamed egg was sooooo cool. Tasted pretty bland but presentation was 12/10. Stone/container keeps it hot for quite a while too! Tried the only soup that did not say spicy. 10/10 was good. Rice was good. Salad was good - I liked the dressing. Pickled ?daikon was 10/10 so great for cutting through all the meat flavor. Bean sprouts were just okay. Friend liked the sauerkraut but I did not. Broccoli was very nice to grill. Marinated raw Onion was good (better slightly warmed on the grill). Marinated pork was my favorite. Pork belly was good. The super thinly sliced was one was my least favorite. Hard to cook and shrivels up too much. The super thick cuts I also did not like as I found it too chewy but honestly that could just be my cooking skills. Grill was swapped out 3 times during our 1.5hr experience. Ate 100% of everything But only 50% of the egg, and 10% of the bean sprouts (2 very hungry people). Overall what a fun experience. But I like Gyu-Kaku more (Better price for same experience and I like the marinated cheap meats better than the expensive cuts).
