“ I see why Keith Lee recommended the roasted duck. ***Cash only*** ”
“ Just moved to the area and we love a good duck every once in awhile. Came across King’s Barbecue House and we were beyond impressed! Bought a duck for the family and it was DELICIOUS! Plus amazing portion! For reference-three people ate from this tray and this is how much we have left! Great price, great service, AMAZING food quality! Definitely coming back again! ”
“ Probably the best duck that you can get on this side of the Pacific ocean! I've been eating here since 2012 and keep coming back for all that goodness. It is a simple restaurant with no seating and no real amenities except for the fallen angels making the food. I always get the duck and rice combo. They also have a couple other options but make sure they dump some duck fat on top of the rice for that extra flavor! ”
“ A low-key family-owned Cantonese BBQ joint that delivers decent food and affordable price, which is exactly what I was looking for. I ordered a BBQ duck which is about 4-6 serving if paired with rice and vegie at home. Will come back to get some takeout again. ”
“ For holidays, if you bring them a frozen turkey the days before you want it, they'll prepare and cook it for you. Got the crispy roast duck, soy sauce chicken, and bbq lunch boxes. Don't know how they make the soy sauce so yummy. I'll be back for take out when I have a too-short lunch break. The hand-written menu on the wall is the original from when they opened 30 years ago. Oh ya, cash only. ”
“ Very good BBQ pork and Roasted Duck. For me, the balance between lean meat and fat was perfect. The soy sauce has a special favor as well, sweet and salty. Love it. (I had better Cantonese BBQ in Hong Kong, but I think this place is the best in Seattle.) Parking is not that difficult in Chinatown. I managed to find a spot nearby in Saturday afternoon. ”
“ Great spot for Chinese BBQ. Cheap lunch box combo. Very friendly elderly couple running the shop. Cash only ”
“ Roast duck was very juicy and tasty, and the skin on roast pork was crispy while meat was tender and juicy. I also ordered BBQ pork and sausages, both were pretty good just not amazed. The chefs were super kind. They explained and introduced different items patiently. Also, I was able to use my own containers :) It’s cash only tho, a heads-up for those who don’t usually bring cash with them. Overall, it was a pleasant experience ordering to-go from King’s Barbecue House and I will for sure go back for their Cantonese barbecue again. ”
