Great Chinese food that is very authentic and the prices are very reasonable, expect dishes around $6 and good sized portions. You get free soup for dinner. Noodles are cooked to perfection, veggie dishes are fresh, char siu is the way it supposed to be. I don't quite understand the bad reviews.. if you expecting something like PF Chang's, then this is NOT the place to go. Few things... servers speak little English, so it helps to have someone who speaks Cantonese to come with you to order. Second, it's not a fancy restaurant, go to Sam Woo for a nicer enviroment but the food is more expensive and not as good. Also, they only take cash. read more

Hands down one of the best bang for the buck Chinese joints in Vegas. The food are all pretty good and reasonably priced. But like most Chinese places, they are under staffed and overwhelmed with tables, so the customer service is not always there but I can see that they try. CASH ONLY ..one star deducted read more

So you really have to be Chinese/Asian to appreciate this kind of place, a bit messy and cluttered, bwoken engeelish. I ordered the wonton/roasted duck rice noodle soup (won ton siu ngap ho fun).... broth=blandish, add more MSG wonton=yellow, more shrimp taste than pork, too much white pepper duck=lean, not much meat veggies=2 big pieces rice noodles=rice noodles This place will do in a pinch, but so far have not found another place like it, except maybe Sam Woo's, but they seem a bit pricey for this kind of food.... So this is like the places in Hong Kong, but actually cleaner and bigger, but lacking the flavor....I'm not giving up on them yet, gonna try the rice dishes next and the beef stew.....til next time, good eating! read more

This review is for 3.5 stars. My brother introduced me to this small restaurant. You don't come here for ambiance- there is none. It's pretty good food for cheap (fish and vegetables for $7.95)- ideal for those on a budget. It's a "Hole In The Wall." It is usually packed. There are numerous to-go orders (probably even more than the seated patrons). The busy servers are sometimes not so congenial (no smiles here) but they have made good suggestions in the past. I've also had the hot pot and the fried fish. Everything was pretty good. When I did a short stint for my brother, we came here a lot. We have also come here with the whole family- no complaints here. Bathrooms in back. If you don't mind the shabby surroundings, and you want a Chinese restaurant that's cheap, come here. Know that it's pretty busy around lunch time, though. read more

I love this place for traditional Chinese barbecue. this is not a fancy fusion joint where people are checking in and taking pictures but great staff And very fast and efficient,very nice thank you read more

BBQ King - This is a great place for old school Chinese bbq. This is definitely not a fancy fusion joint. The staff is very nice and efficient. - Barbeque Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I think the restaurant is under new ownership, my recent trip was very bad. There was no flavor, and the fish maw soup had imitation crab in it, which I have never had. I won't be going back due to such inconsistency in the menu. read more

BBQ King - a bowl of soup with a wooden spoon - Barbeque Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

$20 dollars for roast duck and $9 dollars a pound for roast pork?!?!?! You got to be kidding right?!?!? Being that I'm from Seattle, I'm use to paying no more than $15 dollars for a roast duck and $7 dollars a pound for roast pork. The prices here were significantly inflated on the BBQ items. However the prices for the dishes were dirt cheap, most dishes were under $10 dollars, even the seafood dishes. Those prices were pretty amazing! Overall, I thought the food was very mediocre, we ordered over $140 dollars of take-out to feed our group after a night of clubbing. The service was friendly, abit slow. I don't think they realized that I understood the workers talking when they were speaking Cantonese and telling the cooks to make the dishes for the dine-in customers first and put our to-go order on hold. - 1 star for that! Over all the food was ok, nothing to write home about. The beef chow fun was dry and the roast duck not meaty. The skin on the roast pork was really crunchy so that was good. However the rest of our dishes was just eh.... read more

If you are looking for cheap, authentic, hole in the wall, slightly above average Chinese BBQ in Vegas, this is the place. The restaurant is tiny (you may have to share a table with strangers), the service is horrible (the waiters are constantly yelling at each other in Cantonese), reminds me of eating in HK. Well, except the food here is 2x the price and half as good. Nonetheless, we come here whenever we want cheap Chinese food. Here's what we've tried: BBQ Pork - Crispy skin, some fat, a little meat. Not bad. BBQ duck egg noodle soup - Duck had been sitting out too long and there wasn't a lot of meat. Noodles were just firm enough and the broth was pretty flavorful. Shrimp Fried Rice - Bland and dry. Braised tofu with bok choy & mushrooms - The braised tofu was the best part. The sauce was a bit slimy, probably too much cornstarch. read more

BBQ King - BBQ duck - Barbeque Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Two roastwd ducks hanging on the rack. I wanted to purchase half a duck, one hanging on the left, better sized and less burnt. Guess what, they won't sell me half a duck, unless I buy the smaller more burnt one. After speaking to 2 female servers, both Cantonese, both talking smack in Cantonese to my face, they arw insisting that if I want the better roasted duck, I need to buy a whole duck. Or else, they will only serve me half from a duck of their choice. I am amazed they are still in business. CASH only and hand written (non-legible sales receipts only...tmmmm avoiding tax records much? Dine here if you're willing to let them smack talk you to all their coworkers too. RUDE! read more

We often visited LV. Each time we came my wife and her parents always wanted to have the roast pig and roast duck at bbq king. Unfortunately, We were told that the ownership has changed. The food quality is no longer good. They are very disappointed and vowed not to return. They truly missed the old bbq king. I guess it's time to find another place that offers good roast pig/duck. read more

Best kept secret in Vegas...I have had Duck in most 5-star restaurants in town, and the duck here is better!

My mom loves the ginger chicken here. I love their other options like roast duck and roast pork. Most of places now they don't make whole roast pork anymore but this place does so good point. Food 3.5 Service 3.5 Ambience 3 read more

Bought a roast duck. When we went home we discovered that 2 wings, one thigh and drum stick are missing. Also, it was obvious that they a have switched some parts, because the colors are different. Most ridiculous was that there are 9 sections of the neck. read more

This place is located in Chinatown, but not in the main mall area with the 99 Ranch in it. It's down the road. They serve Chinese food here. As far as the food was concerned it tasted pretty good, and not as salty or as oily as Sam Woo. It came out very quickly and a nondescript soup of the day was included which didn't taste like anything. We had a lot of leftovers since they gave us too much food. They were cash only. The restroom was nice but it was constantly occupied. read more

Traditional chinese BBQ. Duck, pork, etc... all of the stuff you heard about is here. You will feel like your in China, noisy, busy, and short on staff but the food is oh so good. Dont expect exceptional service, just expect good food. read more

Finally tried this place and nice little restaurant. I love roast duck but so far other places I've tried are ok either too dry or does not taste like roast duck. Our waiter is very nice. We ordered roast duck, beef chow fun with gravy, chicken fried rice, and shrimp over rice. Hot tea and soup bone are complementary. Waiting time for our order are average about 15 minutes. Food arrived with nice presentation looks and smell very good. When me and my wife eat out I always ask her hows the food and she like it. If she don't like it she will tell me bcuz some places their food looks greasy. So their food are very good roast duck is very tastey, moist, and tender comes with plum sauce. Price are very reasonable. read more

Very disappointed. Waited for 40 min for our food. My food came out first, I finished my plate before my partner's food came.

This place is the worst place I've ever been. Before they sell whole roast pig. But now they get those roast pork belly from pigs weigh thousands of pound. The meat are rotten and dry read more

our party of 6 had dinner here tonight and i must say that we all enjoyed our meal totally. very authentic cantonese food. we had salt/pepper pork chops,fish tofu hotpot, beef brisket with beancurd, garlic peatips ,spicy eggplant and 1/2 bbq duck. everything was great. i will most definitely return. our 2 servers provided excellent service...i understand this is one of the longest running restaurants in las vegas. what a hidden gem! read more

Slow service! Waited 30 minutes for the duck wonton soup noodles. Taste...was ok. Nothing special. read more

the BEST chinese place in Las Vegas by far. the noodle soups -- especially the wonton noodle soup and the beef one -- are amazing. the seafood and tofu hot pot is always a must have here. their fried pork chops, honey walnut shrimp, and roast duck, chicken, pork are also great items to order. the prices are also very affordable. my go to chinese restaurant in LV, would definitely recommend!!! read more

Haven't been here since last spring and I got my favorite. Char sui with white rice. And as usual very very delicious. This has been the place I go to for years. They have some of the best dishes in the city. Thnxs . read more

Savoring their tasty dishes transports me to China. Their signature roast pork and duck are EXCELLENT....they must have a genuine specialized chef. Service kind of slow, but worth wait. Staff friendly and constantly cleaning! Even saw them wiping caddies with hot sauces. read more

I'm not all that picky when it comes to Chinese food. My wife often says I have no clue so I'll have to say I can tolerate even mediocre Chinese food and think it's not too bad. But this place? It was bad. REAL bad. I guess in Chinese it's called Number One BBQ and in English it's BBQ King -- kinda similar don't you agree? The food was anything but that. It was no King, no Queen, no Ace. It was a Joker! That's what it was. Honestly, bbq pork is better in Irvine and even Irvine is not good for Chinese food. Maybe that's why there weren't many people in this place when we ate here? Maybe it's the food. Maybe it's their rude attitude. Whatever reason people have for not eating here, they've good reason not to. It's really quite awful. read more

About 2 years ago, my wife and I ordered a duck and the soy sauce chicken to go. Man, it was delicious. It was probably the best duck place that I have ever been to. However, I think they changed management and cooks. We ordered the duck and chicken again for a family get-to-gether. It was horrible. The duck was rubberry and dried inside. And, the chicken just had a horrible taste to it. Thinking this was a fluke, several weeks later, we ordered half a duck and half a chicken, it was just as bad. I can't believe that this place has gone so downhill. We will never go back to this place. Yuck. read more

I'm only giving Barbecue King a 3 star rating because it's a dump. But it's a dump like hundreds of restaurants I've been to in Hong Kong and the food is terrific. We were there on Sunday afternoon about 2pm and it was packed with Chinese. We were the only Caucasians there. The service was lousy, the place is filthy, they only take cash but I'll go back anytime. It's a great call for takeout, they'll even sell you a whole Peking Duck or Roast Suckling Pig.... We had the barbecue pork and some pan fried noodles. If you've spent any time at all in South Asia you'll appreciate the authenticity. If not, stick with takeout. read more

Old school Cantonese BBQ that hits the spot. Friendly service, food came out hot and quick, portions and pricing were commiserate. BBQ pork was toothsome, flavorful, just sweet enough with a bit of char. Soy sauce chicken was tender and not overly salty. Will be back often. read more

Hit BK for late lunch with the gf. just another non-descript chinese restaurant on spring mtn. as you walk in you see the ducks hanging by the neck under the heat lamp and some pre-made cafeteria style dishes that according to the gf , are appetizer and "to-go" food - one of the items she sees that gets her fired up - chili-infused pork stomach - yummy ?!?! we order the pork stomach dish, a beef noodle dish, some chinese greens and "chinese"bbq Chicken. after we order the food is on the table in geez, 3 minutes ? that actually bothers me - i don't care how hot the wok is in the kitchen, too much of the ingredients must be pre cooked, pre-everything to get the grub to us so quickly. the beef noodles - boring very, boring and the beef has the smell of the 1/2 price selections at the supermarket - not too fresh. also too much oil used in cooking the dish. the greens - nothing special. the bbq chicken - i don't get it. it was apparently "bbq'd" then flash fried in the wok - the bone to met ratio way too high, decent flavor thoiugh. the pork stomach - it includes a small l]pile of the bbq duck - the duck had no seasoning to it, nothing to it. the pork stomach - reminds me of calamari in texture - some pieces very tender, others, very chewy - but some nice kick from the chili - an ok dish. total cost w/ tea and rice $33.50 read more

Whenever we crave for roast pork like home, this is our go too. the only part we dislike is the sauce that comes with it, its sweet, we want something spicy like hot mustard with soy sauce. But all in all the service is good and food is good as well read more

We come here every time we go to Vegas. Why? Because it's super cheap and the food is good. The dishes are around $5 to $7 each... that's crazy. Free soup during dinner too. Ok, this isn't 5 star, fine dining. You have to judge the food on it's price. The food is pretty damn good, especially for such a low price. Not sure why their are so many low ratings, maybe they expect the glitz and glam of Vegas. I think I may be the first 5 star rating because I love this place... why? Good Food - Great Price = Win! read more

Service got better but bad food , roast duck smell, chicken tased old.fair price need not to give customer old stuff.

This is a mediocre place. I wouldn't come back and wouldn't recommend it. It isn't terrible. But there isn't any excuse to be mediocre for simple basic Chinese food. The tea is bad too read more

I am on a search to find the best BBQ pork in the city. I start by looking for restaurants with hanging duck and pig because that is usually a good sign of authenticity in my book. I have been to a few places in the Chinatown area and they all taste remarkably similar in terms of this dish and I have not been blown away yet. BBQ King unfortunately did not blow me away either. I tried the duck and BBQ pork lunch special which is served with a heaping portion of rice and some Chinese broccoli. Overall the meal was fine and the BBQ pork was solid, but it wasn't the one. It cost less than $10 and filled me up so for the price I do recommend. In the end I am still searching for the best BBQ pork in the city because this was not quite what I'm looking for in terms of quality and authenticity. Just a reminder that the lunch specials end at 3pm and the restaurant is cash only. read more

I was hungry after landing in Vegas to visit the fambam, so the padre and I came here for some lunch. I especially liked their BBQ pork; everything else was just mediocre. When you walk in they quickly seat you and hand you a menu. Tea conjures and they take your order, and the food is served quickly. The dishes are inexpensive but they're not exactly to-drool-for delicious. But hey, you get what you pay for, which is decent food that will fill you up. My family also comes here often to get Chinese BBQ to-go and we've had really good experiences with them. The BBQ pork is always really good, though the BBQ pork or roast duck is a hit or miss 70/30 of the time. Be adventurous and try the soy sauce chicken as well. BBQ King is more of a hole in the wall and there's not much decor inside, but you'll leave the restaurant feeling satisfied. read more

We went there bought some BBQ pork to-go. I did not look at price/LB on the wall. We were charged $7.89 for them. We took them home and decided to weight them on our digital scale out of curiosity. The scale showed only a little over 12 oz. That would be make them $10/LB which is ridiculous. I think either they over weight the pork or over charge us. The worse part of this was the BBQ pork was tasteless. I don't think I would go there again. read more

We went there for lunch. I would suggest the BBQ pork and duck v. the roasted. Amazing rice dishes. I enjoyed the spicy eggplant's texture and bold flavor. Great Value. We will go again, read more

Put in an Order for a roast pig to TWO DAYS before we needed it. The Person even wrote down the time to pick it up. So the day come to where we go to pick up the hog and they tell us its an hour wait, mind you we gave them an extra fifteen minutes... Got our money back and left them with a pig in the oven. used the cash to go to SAM WOO who saved our family's dinner!!! Moral of the story? go to Sam Woo. read more

I came here twice and order the same Roast duck rice. Twice they gave me the area without meat. So I can only have the skin, vegetable and rice. Price is cheap, but the portion they give is cheap also. I went there a second time because I thought that I was just unlucky 1st time. Second time the duck even has a funny stinky smell and taste I took one bite and spits it Out. I just paid for the meal and then left. I will never go back here again read more

This place has all day cheap prices for wonton noodle and porridge. So it's a nice place to go to when you want the HK style wonton noodle soup. Tho i have to comment that this place highly have consistency issues because, there were times where ordered wonton noodle, there was no salt in it at all. Another time I can be there and order the same wonton noodle, and i can be really salty. Not sure if the chef have temper issues and like to take it off their customers but dude, if you cannot even season your soup correctly at your job, i'm pretty sure this guy hates the job itself, therefore effect the quality of food that they produce. I don't make good fried chinese doughnuts, they are never freshly fried. I don't know if there are any places in vegas that make freshly fried doughnuts. Over all, I would come back to this place just because it's one of the cheaper HK style chinese food places in vegas. they also have togo section, but the food there is really expensive. But there's no other place in vegas to buy stuff from so, we really have no choice but to get ripped off. _____________ Oct 2008 update: The place is dirty. read more

Really good ginger chicken and roasted duck. We mainly go for the roasted duck to take home which is a great quick dinner option. The meat is perfectly seasoned and good quality! read more
