Hands down some of the best BBQ brisket we've had. They helped us with catering and everything was cooked perfectly. Super friendly, responsive, and clearly passionate about what they do. We'll absolutely be tracking down their pop-ups in the future! read more

Crazy good lemon grass beef skewers, smoked pulled pork & brisket on the menu today. A pop up vendor at baldy brewing for St. Patrick's weekend. Adonis, Sodany & Ashley were a warm welcoming family who pour their heart and souls into their masterpiece recipes. They came around to each guest checking in on them after their meal. So welcoming and friendly, good hearted people. The 16 hour smoked brisket has that perfect smoke ring with nice bark seasoning. Lemongrass beef skewers are a MUST! Whatever else you order add a skewer or three. The pulled pork was tender shreds of beautifully smoked meat. In the words of Jen the sides are perfect to balance all the richness. Pickled papaya & carrot salad with Cambodian style fried rice which has an unexpected delightful coconut cream to add another component twist to the dish. Everything we tried was awesome! By the end of the night they were sold out! I would definitely luv to try more of their menu whenever they're in town. Tap to pay available. Fun fact: Adonis started smoking meats at home and his son said dad you could sell this. Adonis tried it out and the business began to grow. Now he has been able to run this awesome pop up traveling to the people sharing his passion with every bite. read more

Adonis, proud proprietor was joined by Ashley & Sodany, such friendly & genuinely welcoming people, took our order & they went right to it & my food was on the spot ready within a few within a few minutes. WowZaH! The smoked brisket pastrami was so tender & juicy-- seriously! Melt in your mouth goodness!!! I should've gotten 2 but needed a second stomach to store it all.

I somehow stumbled upon " The Chan Smokers " On my IG .. since then I've been following their IG handle @ the_ chan _smokers They do not have a permanent store front , they are a food vendor/ pop up with locations varies at different locations in the IE (Inland Empire). The Chan Smokers offers catering services as well . I mean seriously they caught my attention on Smoke BBQ meats and with Khmer fusion foods. Such as beef sticks khmer style, fried rice , pickled papaya salads . The Best way to catch them is to follow their IG account with up-to dates information and future events/ venues locations. During this visit we were pleased to see them at the Baldy Brewing in Upland Ca . During the St. Pattys weekend hosted by Baldy Brewing. Seriously they were the nicest and friendliest owners , A family small business who also happens to be a retired veteran . Intrigued by their back story . We should all support our family veterans . The photos don't do it justice, their smoked BBQ meats were so flavorfully delicious . Mine and My husband's favorite were their smoked briskets, and pulled pork, and their Cambodian beef sticks. It was tender and full of aromatics of Cambodian's herbs and spices. read more

Found this pop-up place at an international food festival in my city. I was walking by trying to decide what to eat and the owner happened to be handing out samples. So glad I decided to try the sample - I was hooked. It was so good I went back the second day and tried another dish. Day 2 I got the brisket combo (think it was no. 3). The brisket was a little peppery (which i like) and very moist. This was probably some of the best brisket I've had in California. They put just a little line of bbq sauce on some of the meat, but not too much, which gave nice variation. Any normal place this brisket would be a definite go to (they also did brisket nachos that someone else ordered and looked great). But the game changer was the lemon grass beef skewers combination (no. 1) I got day 1. These were delicious and flavorful, the tenderness of which we down in how easily the meat came off the skewers. The meat combined with the pickled veggies and rice made for an epic combination. I don't write a lot of reviews but felt this place was deserving. If they are at an event you're at I would highly suggest. read more

I got the brisket/fried rice combo, it came with a free sample of their banana pudding. Hands down best lunch choice I've made in awhile brisket was fatty, and juice, melted in my mouth with the perfect outer crust, the Chinese sausage in the fried rice added a perfect amount of sweetness to savory plate. There's more food than I can finish on my lunch break. I'll definitely be having the rest for dinner. Solid 5 stars. Customer service was superb, and fast. read more

I highly recommend you check out this small business. His family is as local as it gets. He has this whole BBQ down. Juicy, with the spot on smoky flavor, his enhancement of dry rub, to his complimentary side dishes, and if you're a sauce guy like I am, he gives you a taste of his amazing homemade BBQ sauce. Call me a fan for life. We need to talk to the Park House and get him a spot. read more

Last night I had the pleasure of experiencing the amazing taste of Cambodian inspired BBQ. My wife and I were at Rowdy's celebrating a birthday and The Chan Smokers were there serving food. We ordered the Belly Buster which came with all three proteins and it was incredible! The meat was tender and flavorful. The spices they used for their dry rubs and the tanginess of their BBQ sauce awakened every tastebud in my entire palate without being overpowering. The Cambodian fried rice was also perfectly done and their homemade coleslaw was to die for. Being someone who smokes meat myself I can tell you that a brisket is the most difficult cut of meat to get right. The fact that Chan Smokers was able to get it as tender as they did without drying it out speaks to their level of experience. If you get a chance to check them out then I highly recommend it. read more
