    Pricing as of 8/16/26

    They have everything that you need to eat with bbq pork or duck. $4 bánh mì ba le, $4.5 bánh hỏi, bánh bao kẹp. They do accept credit card

    Leeza D.

    We've been going to Lien Hoa for all of my life. It is that classic place that is just good and stands the test of time. They have excellent Chinese style BBQ meats. Our favorite are the cha sui BBQ pork, crispy skin roast pork and roast duck. Their chicken, intestine, and chicken feet are also family favorites. Everything is good there. Their meats are fresh tasting, moist and flavorful. It's delicious to put on rice, in a baguette sandwich, on noodles or with salad. Casual. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Chim cut & bbq pork
    Vi N.

    The service is quick grab and go. They do accept card here. The chim cut was good, a little dry on certain parts but the price here is solid and the seasoning is perfect to my own liking

    This location is always busy and they accept cash only. I like their roasted duck, peking duck or salted chicken and crispy pork . Especially roasted duck was so delicious. Crispy boneless pork are always perfectly cooked. They marinate with delicious spices, very tasty . I have supported them for many years. The only thing is that parking is difficult, which makes me lazy to come sometimes, especially on holidays.

    Trust me, these ducks... they're real... and they're fire

    Service is fast and straight-to-the-point, the prices are still reasonable, and you know it's the real deal when the line never really stops. The operation feels like controlled chaos in the best way...

    My dad wanted some peiking duck and roast pork, so we stopped by to get some to go. We ended up impulsively buying other stuff too (chili oil pig ears, pork feet, and marinated duck wings). They did a good job marinating and roasting the meats. Everything was flavorful and reasonably priced (compared to San Diego). The staff were quick and friendly. I would recommend this place and come here again.

    Ordered carry out roasted duck and soy sauce chicken. Pretty solid duck. The chicken was a little dry and I prefer the skin to have a little more soy sauce flavor. -cash only

    Does this place cook turkey?

    Yes they do for Thanks giving. However, I wouldn't recommend the dry rub style they use. The regular duck is better. Turkey is too lean

There's no doubt the technique and the skills are traditional American but the flavors have fun with Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean spices/marinades/etc. which made this such a cool experience. The outdoor seating area was massive which was a nice change of pace for BBQ spots and had a very family-friendly vibe. Tried out their traditional smoked brisket, then ventured on to their Pork Belly Siu Yuk (rubbed with Chinese 8 spice and roasted so that skin BE CRISPY!) and also got their Sunday special which was a GIANT beef rib with Korean Gochujang BBQ sauce! All the meats were what BBQ should be; Smokey, succulent and delicious but the unique flavors on the meats are what make this place stand out. Don't sleep on their sides though; I also tried out their Sesame slaw and pickled/spicy cucumbers which had that perfect acidity to combat that unctuousness of all that meat and then that cornbread...Good Lord was that great lol Definitely looking forward to coming back to try more of their grub!

The Siu Yuk Pork Belly has a nice crispy exterior and fatty tender interior. My dad's favorite done very well here. We also enjoyed the dry-rub pork ribs and moist beef brisket. For sides we tried the mapo chili, sesame slaw, spicy cucumber, and coconut rice. Personally, I'm a big fan of the coconut rice. The flavor is mild enough to let the meat shine, but has a very distinct profile that is still enjoyable to taste. As a good side, it acts as a nice complement. The sesame slaw is also very crisp and refreshing, which is much desired for me (typically not a heavy meat person). I don't particularly enjoy the spicy cucumbers texturally, as I usually prefer a fresher crunch. I also wasn't the biggest enjoyer of the tallow fries, which reminded me of a frozen crinkle-cut fry texture. In-house sauces are an appreciated Asian-spin, not your "traditional" hot sauce or barbecue. Service has always been accommodating and expedient. A past order mix-up was handled very professionally and smoothly, with an extra pandana (pandan banana pudding) for the hassle. If you're going with family, seating and ambiance is very pleasant. I always hear lots of children running around, with plenty of well designed spaces for socialization. Tents lined with stringed lightbulbs, outdoor bar seating, or traditional picnic/table seating are all available options. There's big restrooms, outdoor washing services, and multiple water dispensers. I went around 6:40 PM on a Saturday. Parking lot space is limited, so we've never considered it personally. Expect more street parking nearby in the neighborhood across the street or in that area.

The open at 9 a.m. so, you know they are cooking everything VERY early in the morning. FRESH DAILY. My favorite here is the 2-3 item combo meals. With my favorite item being the Turnip Cake with Egg. They also have various vegetables, green beans, Chinese broccoli, Bok Choi, etc. on a daily basis but rotate the type of greens, depending on the day. The 2 item combo "means" you get to choose TWO MEAT varieties. The combo includes white or fried rice or noodles and a scoop of one of the green vegetables. THE PORTION SIZES are substantial and you can walk out with a 2 item combo for $12 and a 3 item for only $1 more, $13. They have additional DELICIOUS "side" dishes which I'm not exactly how you can incorporate them into your combo meals, but you definitely can order them separate. Today, I got half and half Turnip cake and Chow Fun, asked for green beans and Crispy Pork Belly and he just charged me accordingly, $16.... which is two meals for me. They also have Chinese style sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf which is bigger than your average... for only $6. Delicious. There is one male employee who speaks near-perfect English, but most do not, so just point to what you'd like. Be adventurous! I don't think you'll be disappointed with anything here. Everything is seasoned well and always very tasty. Where can you get (more than one meal) for $12? ...other places would EASILY charge you $20 for this. ************* CASH ONLY **************

We came at a linner time between the lunch and dinner rush. We were quickly seated. iPad ordering system is familiar with other establishments we have been to. However, this is the first time we I saw a full loco screen count down before you can choose the items. Other places just don't let you submit the order before due time. I found the Wagyu beef belly to be alright. Lots more fat than what I imaged it would be. The kalbi was good. One thing I noticed is all the sauced meat was dressed with the same sauce. This is something I wasn't used to since when we go to other kbbq places, different meats are seasoned differently. The sauce made everything taste like bulgogi in the end and we didn't like it as much. I have to say the shrimp quality is amazing. Super fresh and very plump. Both regular and Cajun tasted yummy. The scallops were small and I didn't like the seasoning on it. It didn't taste as fresh. The sides of corn cheese, egg pudding and beef soup/stew was very good. The cold noodle was a pass. The female servers would just place something down and leave at other tables. No walking around to make sure the customers were ok and didn't need anything. I had to flag for help often. The one male server that was there was much more helpful. I really appreciated this guy. Overall, it was decent but I probably wouldn't come back. We have way too many AYCE kbbqs to choose from at our regular stomping grounds.
