I'm so glad we have a Chinese duck and pool roast eatery here in the area. Most of these places are tough to find; either in Chinatowns in major city hubs or a primarily heavy Asian-influenced town. I came here yesterday during opening and there was already a long line of people waiting for their orders. I think they can hire a few more people to speed things up in the back kitchen. I ordered their roast pork belly with rice which was really good. Expect that traditional 5-spice flavor that's mainly used in Chinese roast pork. They give a generous amount too which is nice. I also enjoyed the ginger sauce it came with. I thought this paired better than the black sweet sauce they provide. Typically I like my pork belly thoroughly cooked but this is a different style and I still enjoyed it. It's worth $15! I want to come back to try their duck next! read more

I'm very impressed with their authentic chinese bbq. I got the Roast Duck, Haianese Chicken, and Crispy Pork Belly. This is definitely on par with Oakland & SF Chinatown. Reasonably price. Honestly, the pork belly is the star and could be the best I've had in a long time considering I still live and grew up in Oakland. At other chinese bbq spots the skin to me is usually very crunchy and chewy. But Roast Eatery pork belly skin is so light and crispy, that after a few bites the tender meat and fat slowly melts in your mouth making it very enjoyable. The sweet sauce with the pork belly is new to me. it's interesting but i prefer eating it with the ginger scallion because it helps cut the richness from the pork belly. The Haianese Chicken is exceptional. Cooked perfectly to tendernism. Anyone new to chinese bbq and wondering why the chopped chicken bone is still red or pink, that's called myoglobin so don't worry it's already cooked and means that it's perfectly gently poached. Of course, always take caution, ask questions and do a little research. If you're afraid, just eat around it, but this will probably be the best and healthiest way to eat chicken if you're on a diet. Roast Duck was flavorful, tender and nicely roasted. Definitely your go to local spot if you're in the East County (Oakley, Brentwood, or Antioch). It's also on par with local favorite spots in Oakland Chinatown like Gold Medal. Service is very straight forward and quick to order. The staff are friendly. Got our order in less than 10 minutes. Overall, I will be coming here more frequently for my chinese bbq fix and quick healthy lunch. They also own the dim sum bakery next door and it's definitely a hit too! read more

Had a rare craving for Chinese food and ordered a Hainan chicken rice plate. The rice plate for $14 is a quarter chicken with a healthy portion of white rice, and a mound of boiled cabbage. It's the priced the same as the $14 "half" chicken, so by far the half chicken is the better value. The chicken itself was moist. It's the traditional Chinese yellow chicken, so there was not a lot of meat on it. Love ginger scallion sauce and I asked for extra, which I got. The shredded, boiled cabbage on the side was a nice thought to round out the meal. Too bad I don't like cooked cabbage... The rice in the rice plate was plain white rice and didn't seem all that fresh as parts of it were hard and clumpy. I wish there was chicken rice that went with the Hainan chicken, but I guess the rice plate here is just that...basic white rice that goes with any protein. read more

I come here pretty often and the portions are usually good, which is why I was disappointed this time. I'm not sure if they were busy over the weekend or what was going on, but the portion looked noticeably smaller than usual. There was barely any actual meat. Most of what I received was bone and skin, with almost no edible meat compared to what I normally get here. The food still tasted fine, but the value was not the same as before. As a regular customer, I hope this was just a one-time issue and that the portions can stay consistent. . read more

Roast Eatery - Double meat plate - Chinese Near Me - Brentwood, California

I stopped by on a Saturday right when they opened. It's takeout-only with a simple setup -- just BBQ meats and a couple of noodle dishes. The shop was clean, and service was fast. As soon as I ordered, they started chopping right away. I got a 2-item rice plate with crispy pork belly and roast duck -- both were spot on. The pork belly was perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the duck was juicy with great roast flavor. The char siu was sweet, savory, and tender. The soy sauce chicken was flavorful all the way through, even the tender breast meat. I can't wait to go back and try the beef brisket noodle and dan dan noodles next. This place is a gem and officially my new go-to for Cantonese BBQ! read more

Came in and the menu is simple. I ordered two plates: one with roast duck and honey bbq pork and the other one with crispy pork and soy sauce chicken. The place was nice and clean, no chairs or tables because it is to go style. There's sodas and drinks available to purchase. There's a window where the ducks/chickens are hanging for show, reminds me of Oakland Chinatown because a lot of shops used to be like that too. I felt the price was great because of the amount of food you get. The honey bbq pork was really good. I love the soy sauce chicken as well, it was sweet. I'm a little disappointed in the rice, felt kinda hard like being in the rice cooker long or old? I'm used to fresh sticky rice. I felt like the roast duck didn't have a lot of meat? I had a lot of pieces just skin and bones. But the meat that I did eat, it tasted good. The service was good. And the food came out fairly quick. read more

Large servings! Pretty good BBQ pork and amazing garlic noodles. The chili wontons were mild. The duck skin was a bit rubbery but flavorful. The place is a little out of my way, but I might order the Garlic Noodles with BBQ Pork again when Im around the area during lunch. read more

Update 4/12/25 Roast Eatery continues to prepare excellent Chinese BBQ roast duck, roast pork belly, and BBQ pork ribs. The consistency of excellent flavor of savory Chinese BBQ meats that Roast Eatery in Brentwood makes gives pause for having to travel to the East bay or SF for similar Chinese BBQ meats. I highly recommend giving Roast Eatery a visit when you're in Brentwood. read more

I was so ecstatic to try their food after seeing the reviews on Yelp. From what I recall there was no seating inside. I ordered a crispy pork belly plate, roast duck plate (my sister's order), & soy sauce chicken plate (my boyfriend's order). Service was great! We waited about 15-20 minutes for our order. We walked next door to Dim Sum Basket to buy a few other goodies while waiting. My favorite was the crispy pork belly. The soy sauce chicken was good, not spectacular. Surprisingly my sister was disappointed in the roast duck. Overall, it was a great place to try. We'd come back again to get the crispy pork belly! It's a pretty solid place in Brentwood. Overall 7.8/10. read more

Great friendly service, SUPER quick wait time, duck as good as I've had in SF and Oakland Chinatown.... I stopped in on my way to Mr Pickle's and was easily won over! It would be nice to have some seating or decorations, but I was in and out so quick it didn't matter! Check this place out! 10 out of 10! read more

When I heard we were getting a Chinese BBQ takeaway spot I was so stoked! I moved out here recently and have really missed my old peking duck spot and I've never had crispy pork belly that I've liked except when I make it at home myself. I had a double meat plate with roast duck and pork belly. The amount of rice was plenty! I had left overs for the later. The roast duck was alright but it was cold and not cripsy. It tasted like they may have microwaved it or maybe had it sitting under a warmer for a long time before serving it for me. I love roast duck and this was one of the worst I've had unfortunately. I'm hoping this was a one-off experience as I'd love to try their duck again. The pork belly on the other hand was to die for. Perfectly crispy, salty and delicious. I wish I got double order of pork instead of the duck. I'll try the duck again just to be sure but I'll be back for the pork belly for sure! read more

Pay close attention because if you don't, you could miss out on many of their items. The pork sells quickly, so make sure you go earlier in the day or you could be empty-handed. What I like about the places you can purchase meet à la carte or over rice . This is a takeout only place.. read more

Maybe it's a cultural thing but I found this disgusting. Chunks of chewy, fatty duck meat with cartilage, bone and G od knows what else. Garlic noodles were dried spaghetti noodles. One bite and everything went in the trash. With all these great reviews, I expected something much different. Gross read more

What a great surprise. I've been looking for a local roast duck place outside of Oakland and SF. This place has a very simple menu that is easy to navigate. The store has no tables or seats. Duck place in Brentwood that isn't dry or tasteless. The duck is juicy, fatty and very tastey. I would 100% fat this again. The chicken was ok. Not the best ginger chicken I've had but it will do out here in our area. BBQ pork, was ok also. Not the best nor the worse. read more

The roast duck with steam rice combo was on point, I will come there again. The price is great what we eat for. Truly satisfied, love it. Hidden dragon, when it was in service served duck and their price is overpriced, and glad they got shutdown. Ambiance is awesome. When I went to Chinatown they used peanut oil, which I am allergic to. Roast Eatery is the best, and they don't use peanut oil. They use canola oil which is awesome. Love this restaurant. read more

Brentwood finally has its own Chinese BBQ place! Waited for this place for a long time and its finally open. They have a display case of today's offerings on full display. If you went to the Dim Sum Basket next door, then you know they offer good quality and value of food for the price. The BBQ pork and rice were super good and delicious. It reminds me of home in San Francisco. Everything is clean delicious. There wasn't a big crowd I got there, but the store is clean. It's take out only right now. But the menu they serve rice plates with single double and triple meat. I got the roast duck and bbq pork and chicken. The classic 3 flavors of Cantonese cooking. All meats were fresh and have their own unique flavor. The roast on the duck is great and nice but it's flavorful in some spots and not much flavor in other. Maybe more consistent rub would be better but I loved the duck and bbq pork. Bbq pork is more sweeter than I'm use to but I could still eat it all day. I'll have to try the roast pork soon when it becomes available. They also serve bbq pork ribs and soy sauce chicken wings. The scallion ginger sauce is to die for. It pairs well with the rice and eventually they'll have hainamese chicken that'll go well with it. read more

If you have ever had good bbq pork aka Cha Siu and crispy pork, then you know this is the spot. It is as authentic as it gets, the char and sweetness brought by the honey is ... place your order and out you go. It is a togo spot only, but will travel and eat in the car for good food!! read more

So excited for Roast Eatery to joint the scene! My spouse and I have already gone twice in the first 1 and a half weeks they have been open. We ran over after work their second day and we're lucky enough to score one of the last half duck orders they had for the day plus an order of their BBQ pork. We were greeted immediately and they were very friendly, checked with the chefs to check if they still had duck and luck was on our side that we scored the first half of the last available duck for the day. We paid and they let us know it'd be a 15 minute wait so we could decide to run over to safeway or anything while we wait. (if only dim sum was also open, I would have taken some to go in a heart beat.) We got our food and ran home to dig in. The pork was juicy, rich and well flavored. The duck was perfectly seasoned with a little side of duck sauce on the side. We were both very pleased with everything and had leftovers to nibble of the next couple days. We enjoyed the duck so much we decided to visit again a week after, but this time we tried their braised duck. Oh my, the roast duck was delicious but the braised duck was even better. It's like the duck sauce enrobes the braised duck for a flavor explosion. Cant wait for them to roll out the rest of their menu! read more

Legit place for Chinese BBQ! I got crispy roast pork, roast duck, and honey bbq ribs. Everything was delicious. For the price and amount of food, I was very satisfied. Definitely rivals some Oakland/SF Chinatown BBQ spots. Here's to hoping they stay consistent! read more

I'm so so so beyond happy that Brentwood now has a Chinese BBQ place! I'm even more ecstatic that it is actually above average. We've only tried the chasiu, the roast pork, & the roast duck. All very delicious & up to the SF standards. For the ppl who've complained that the meat is served cold... unless it had just been cooked, this is how it is supposed to be... just FYI. The chasiu: uses a very good cut of pork, not too lean, not too fatty, very tender. The flavor is on the sweet side & just delicious The roast pork belly: in my opinion the very best cut from the whole roasted pig... the skin is crispy & the ratio of skin:fat:meat is just about perfect... the dipping sauce tasty The roast duck: the only one that may need a little tweaking... more spices would make it an "eleven" out of 10, but the current preparation has crispy skin even as a take out speaks to their expertise All in all, can't wait to try the rest... service was quick & friendly... love this place! read more

So I thought I would try something different and saw this place on tik tok so I order two rice plates , one with chicken and pork ribs and one with BBQ pork plus I asked for noodles but all they had was soup with oxtail and the noodles not so good. Overall not impressed at all. read more

Very satified with the delicious food and service. I prepaid my order on Sunday since they are closed every Monday in celebrating Lunar New Year gathering on Tuesday. I order the white meat chicken, BBQ pork & Pork Belly and my order was packed and ready by the schedule pick up time. I was very happy with good service they add on a few extra complimentary boxes of ginger and soy dipping sauce. Other places do charge extra $, they add on for free giving them a 5 stars. Plus, the food taste very good, not salty with minimum MSG. Do arrive early or prepaid early, there was a long line on a weekday mostly Asian customers buying chicken and pork belly for New Years. read more

We stopped by here three time, and always get the 2 meat combo. Food: everything is fresh, seasoned perfectly (not salty), and decent price for the only Chinese Deli in the area. I love the soy sauce chicken and duck, that's our go to. Have no complaints. We usually stop by when we're heading out to Stockton on the 4. read more

I want this establishment to succeed, been recommending it to family and friends. Since they open, I am here almost every week. Stopped by again today, got roast duck and bbq pork. Both are a total disappointment, under cooked and not well marinated as before. Normally I can finish half duck just by myself (if I try) today I only had 2 pieces. Key to success is consistency of quality. Hope the owner is reading reviews. read more

Finally! Bbq at my fingertips! Today was opening day and oddly enough there wasn't a line when I came in, but when I came back to pick up... there was a big line. They ran out of roast pork belly but that was to be expected. Very clean and inviting front of house, you get to see through to the back where they are prepping your orders. Please be patient and understanding! There might be a wait at times. Some items were cold which I don't mind cause I can just heat it up. Don't want them sitting under a lamp for hours.. The duck was clean and tasty! Very juicy and just the right amount of saltiness and spices (not spicy) for my taste. Charsiu pork was so good! Glad you used the cuts that you did, more lean but also has some gristle in some parts. Slightly sweet in a very good way. Soy sauce chicken was the cold one but heated up was so good. THIS! Chicken was slightly flavored and the meat was so bouncy! When you dip it in the sauce it came with, gave it even more umami flavor. Chicken wings were a miss for me. Maybe bring in chicken feet? . A girl can only ask right? Would love to buy a big jar of your onion and ginger sauce or even more of that soy sauce chicken sauce. I know I can make it at home but sometimes it's just not the same. I did whip up some duck sauce for the hubs. Thank you for bringing Chinese BBQ to Brentwood! read more

Duck is very good. Felt like the bbq pork was missing something. Will need to try again.

Yooooo. L.E.G.I.T. I had to spell it out. The shifu who leads and does the BBQ knows his Hong Kong BBQ stuff. Got Roasted Pork and Duck, and hands down best BBQ in the area. read more
