This location was alright, but it does the job if you're craving for affordable Chinese skewers. $9.99 for 4 beef skewers is quite a steal, since other places charge more than $13 for 3 beef skewers. I would definitely recommend skipping the popcorn chicken, Yangzhou fried rice and steamed bun skewer; they were both super dry and bland. I wouldn't come back to this location due to how busy that plaza is and finding parking isn't the best. The service and speed of the food coming out are pretty quick, but no one came to refill our waters. read more

BBQ85 isn't too far from my work, so I gave it a shot & was pleasantly surprised. There's a strip mall a bit closer to work with dozens of Asian food joints... We usually go there. But one day we rolled the dice & tried BBQ85. Was very impressed & will go back again. They're solid !! read more

BBQ 85 opened where Urban Ka Re House was. Perimeters similar with new colorful themes, not food pics. A flatscreen. Fewer tables. Karaoke. Ordered by QR code. Waiter brought the water, the food, the cheque. Surfing the 'net otherwise. Offerings (Northern Chinese): skewers, appetizers, salads, one soup, drinks..Sparse menu-just what's available. Ordered. Food came 15 minutes later. Bites: lamb skewers (4/9.99) -seldom eat skewers. Wasn't disappointed. Lamb tender, juicy fresh, cumin flavored. -some meat stuck to skewers. Literally had to tear it off with a violent jerk of my head. Chopsticks weren't helpful. Lanzhou Beef Noodles (13.99) was a special @$10. -major fail. Only savor broth superb. Not sure if meats the source of flava. Noodles not hand pulled nor al dente. Sightly soggy. At best, fresh commercially sourced. Plentiful -a few thin slices of radish and 1/2 stalk of sliced green onions irrelevant to taste. -several slices of chewy beef ala beef shank, not tender nor juicy. Bland. Should have spoon it out & tossed it with the yummy chili oil, creating my own appetizers. 3.5 stars no repeat. Affiliated with 85 Dumpling, Yayume in San Ramon. read more

Usually, we go to Fremont for our skewer fix. After finding out that there's a Dublin skewer spot, we have to try it, since it's closer for us. It's safe to say that this will not be our go to skewer spot and we'll be going back to Fremont. There are a couple of reasons why this will not be our go to spot: - Skewer selection was a bit limited compared to our normal spot, their menu had more not skewer items. If you care less about skewers, then maybe this is still the spot for you. - Seasoning on the skewer was just okay - Some of the skewers were overcooked, so it got really dry. Here are the items that we got: - Lamb Skewers (3/5) - Beef Skewers (3/5) - Chicken Wings (1/5): Overcooked, too dry, - Bun, (2/5) this usually is our go to for skewers, but I dont think it was that good here - Deep Fried Pork (2/5): too sweet, too dry, minimal meat, and pricy - Scallion Pancake (5/5): usually don't get this, but it was good here read more

Excellent skewers! It tastes like the skewers back home. It has a good charcoal flavor and seasoning. The beef noddle soup is very flavorful too. I will be back again. read more

BBQ 85 is a small modern restaurant. It has smaller tables with bench and chair seating. They do have a large table in the middle for a large party of 12. Music video is playing in the on a large tv in the middle of the restaurant. One men & one women's restrooms. We stopped in for a light nibble on this cold night. Parking is plentiful but can be challenging during peak hours. Order via QR code on the table. The service was nice and friendly. Lanzhou Beef Noodle - the broth was light, clear, yet simple. Maybe a bit more seasoning. The noodles were soft so you could slurp them up easily. Pork w/Veg Dumpling - served with a soy vinegar dipping sauce. The boiled dumplings were meaty. read more

Super authentic, very yummy spot. Loved everything we got here - beef skewers, bread on skewers, red braised pork soup and Lanzhou noodles were all so good! The guy is super nice even though my mando is bad. He was really helpful in picking food! The vibes are excellent here. I was definitely singing along to every karaoke song - shoutout to every millennial who has 童活 memorized! read more

BBQ 85 - Authentic Lamb spice sticks for 2$ each. So delicious - Chinese Near Me - Dublin, California

The skewers are tasty and flavorful. Their skewer selection is smaller compared to other shops I've been to in South Bay, but good enough to satisfy my cravings! I recently tried their Lanzhou beef noodles and would NOT recommend this dish. I do enjoy a bit of MSG in my food but this had way too much MSG. We had a hard time finishing it. Beef rolls isn't bad, but their friend 88 bao bao next door does much better beef rolls. If you want something other than skewers, the shrimp with egg and chive dumplings are pretty good. Service is decent during week days. On weekend during peak hours, service might be slow. I appreciate that they open late, since not many restaurants in Dublin do. Overall a convenient late night spot to grab Chinese skewers in the area. read more

Love their varieties of selections here!!! You ordered by scanning their OQ CODE on each table. There isn't a lot of pictures for reference on what to order so it might be hard for some people. I took some pictures and will post them together so hopefully it will help. Flavor wise it's pretty decent and we will come back again and try other food! They have a karaoke machine set up in there and a huge screen playing music videos.

Very disappointed in the portion sizes for the price. Portion sizes were WAYYYYYY too small for the expensive pricing. We got two skewers orders, fried rice, and the Lanzhao Noodle soup which came out to $54. The only good thing was the fried rice but even the portion was a little small for the price. The skewers shocked both of us based on how small meat they gave us. $10 for only 4 sticks the size of half a chicken nugget :/ On top of that the skewers didnt really have any taste but just chili oil. The noodles were big but extremely bland and tasted like cilantro water, literally cup of noodles would taste more seasoned :| Personally, I would not come back here bc even I didnt get full off of my food. read more

BBQ 85 - Beef skewers - Chinese Near Me - Dublin, California

This place is fantastic. Everything tastes freshly made, and the ingredients are pure - in that there's no excess of salt, MSG, thickeners, etc - while highlighting the main flavors. I wouldn't normally comment on fried rice, but the Yang Zhou Fried Rice is very simple and tasty, with a fresh mouth feel for the rice that I normally don't even notice at other restaurants. I also love all the different dumplings as well as the Northern Chinese Wonton, which is a soup with a very delightful broth and fresh wontons. Lastly, but not leastly (if that's a saying), don't miss out on the skewers. The beef skewers are very fresh and tasty, with a cumin seasoning. The service is attentive and friendly. And the environment is simple, clean, and welcoming. read more

We stumbled upon this spot was in the area after shopping. Came here around 7pm on a Saturday night and was seated right away. place was half full. You ordered on your phone by scanning the QR code. They have lots of options here to choose from. We ordered the beef sticks, pork belly, chicken wing skin, scallops, and some popcorn chicken. food comes out pretty quickly after you order. the flavours were on point. The guy was very nice and courteous and works fast here. Nice spot to spent to dine so come check it out read more

We came home late from an event and wanted to eat something light, we found BBQ 85. You order via QR code, server cannot speak English but it didnt affect the experience, the QR code is all you need. He was also nice to make sure we have water and served everything on time. Everything we ate is really flavorful - but the dumplings is my fave! I can eat 2 orders of that - juicy, seasoned well and dough is not overpowering. The skewers especially the pork belly is tender and would order it again! read more

Was planning on coming here to eat for a friends birthday, but not anymore. I was calling to see if they're able to do reservations. When they picked up I started explaining what I was asking for and I was interrupted with a man who kept saying "No English no English" then hung up on me. I get that there was a language barrier, but wouldn't you expect to at least maybe be placed on hold while someone could come to the phone who did speak/understand English? Instead I was just hung up on. Kinda rude. So, I called a few moments later in hopes that maybe someone else would pick up, but I was again interrupted with "No English, no English". It kinda ruined my excitement of trying the place now because I wondered how the service would actually be if we ate there. read more

Nice little spot to grab lunch. My recommendation is to research what you like and don't like before ordering. There isn't much for a description of what's on their menu, only photos and its name. Food had unique flavors, but satisfactory. There were no condiments on the table and when we asked for some, we got kind of a blank stare and a different explanation to our question. So we just ate it and enjoyed our dining experience as best we could. The fried pork on skskewers was like leather. The squid was a bit salty and the dumplings were interesting in it's layers of unique flavor. The beef noodles by what my daughter said, was a bit more bland than she wanted and that's why we asked for table condiments. BBQ 85 isn't a bad place, but it probably will not make my "must come back to" list! read more

A great place for skewers and some light drinks! I came with my family and all the food was delicious. The skewers were probably the best I've had, super juicy and the amount of seasoning was just perfect. It does seem to be short staffed as the food came out pretty slowly. Additionally, it seems the staff don't speak much English so that's something to keep in mind and be respectful. It's located in the Fallon plaza on the Chevron side so there's plentiful parking. I would definitely return! read more

BBQ 85 - Deep fried pork - Chinese Near Me - Dublin, California

BBQ 85 is located on Fallon Rd and Dublin Blvd. The shopping center has a bunch of food establishments. It's a bar/ karaoke/ restaurant. The menu consists of spicy salty bar bites, skewers, and noodles. The sister restaurants are Dumplings 85 and Yayume in SanRamon. We ordered the following items: Skewers Corn Lamb Veggie tofu rolls Pork and cabbage dumplings Lanzhou beef noodle soup Spicy marinated tofu and veggie salad The huge Lanzhou beef noodle soup was good. The skewers were ok very salty. We went right at 4:30pm when they just opened, service was good but we were the only patrons. Plenty of parking in the parking lot. read more

Me and my partner were actually trying to find some late night Chinese food, when we stumbled BBQ 85... which we were really surprised to find that they were still open! The boss greeted us courteously and spoke in very native Chinese and served us water right on the spot -- and the appetizers came out quite quickly too! I loved the environment as well, as it was quite spacious :) We also got fried rice on top of that and two bowls of noodles... one each for me and for him. Would definitely come here again to support small businesses like this when open late this is a gem never to miss! read more

I'm absolutely furious and need to share this terrible experience so others don't go through the same thing. The restaurant is called Dongbei Tavern in Dublin--DO NOT go there! My family and I went there for dinner. We ordered our food and then waited... and waited... and waited. Nothing came out. We politely asked the lady (I think she's the boss's wife) if the food was coming soon, and she brushed us off, saying, "It's not slow, it's coming right away." Guess what? Over 30 minutes passed, still no food! Then the boss finally came out with a terrible attitude and said, "The stove is broken. If you want to wait, wait. If not, you can leave." We were stunned. We asked why no one told us earlier, and he snapped, "I'm busy, I don't have time for you." Excuse me?! That's how you treat customers? And it gets worse. When we expressed how upset we were, he told us to get out--literally said, "Get out!" And the lady even raised her hand like she was going to hit someone! Totally aggressive and threatening behavior! This is by far the worst dining experience we've ever had. No respect, no service, no apology--just pure rudeness and hostility. So again, be warned: DO NOT go to this place unless you want to be treated like garbage and leave angry read more

This is an incredible place for some great northern style chinese BBQ skewers and its so nice to have a spot here in the Dublin/Pleansaton area that offers it! Previously if I wanted this type of food I had to drive 35-40 miles south to Cupertino area and it was tough to justify the drive when the cravings hit but now its a 2 min drive and I couldnt be happier. This style of BBQ seasoning is unique and has hints of cumin, chili powder, white pepper but in general its not too spicy and a nice balance of salty and mild chili flavors with just a bit of numbing spice. There is a touch of sweetness to it as well but not as pronounced as you may find in southern cantonese style BBQ skewers where honey is used often but I dont detect any if at all here. The normal spice level is pretty tame and opting for spicy is recommended for more flavor and I dont find it spicy at all. Every single order of the skewers is actually 2-4 individual skewers of whatever you choose based on the protein or veggie you get so its about on par for the price you pay per order in comparison to other similar spots in the south bay. I highly recommend the pork belly, chicken bone, and beef and lamb skewers along with the chives and potato. I dont drink alcohol so I cant comment on the offerings or price but its common to have beers with the skewers for an authentic asian BBQ experience. standard soft drinks and several other asian juice and tea offerings are on hand too. Outside of the BBQ dishes they actually have quite a selection of some great chinese dishes including standard stuff like fried rice, noodles, cold side dishes, appetizers and specialty dishes and I am making their way through the menu but everything I have tried so far is pretty authentic and delicious much better that the americanized chinese food places around dublin. Highly recommend the string beans, Pork Feet and the 10$ Lanzhou beef noodle is a great value as well. service can be a tad slow sometimes but its easy to order from your phone and a relaxing place to sit and enjoy some good food with good friends and the most important thing: ITS OPEN LATE! They close at 11:30PM everyday of the week and if any of you know this Dublin Pleasanton area you should realize how rare this this is to have an option to eat this late! I can probably count the number of places that are open this late to sit down somewhere to hang out and eat on one hand with a hurt thumb. Decor is nice and cozy with nice booths on the side with comfy bench and standard chairs and a large middle bartop style table for the big friends and family hangouts if you choose. Don't miss out on this gem of a spot for a very unique asian food offering that you dont see very often especially outside of the south bay. Enjoy! read more

BBQ 85 - Lamb Skewers and veggies - Chinese Near Me - Dublin, California

Wanted to try some Chinese bbq in the area but we were a bit disappointed by this one. Food(3/5): Food wasn't bad but I didn't really enjoy the sausage bbq it was too sweet, and the squid bbq was too bitter. Both weren't well seasoned. We tried the hot pot skewers which were better but it is a pretty small portion. Service(2/5): There was only one person going around and most of the tables were full when we came so it was really hard to get a hold of the waiter the entire time. The QR ordering wasn't working and that took almost 10 min for them to get around to fixing it. I think they need to have more than one waiter and it would improve this. Ambiance(3/5): the interior is nice it's dark inside and has a unique decoration on the walls. If you come its better to sit near to the kitchen, if you sit near the entrance most likely service will be really delayed and even asking for things will take really long. read more

Passing through the area and stopped in for some BBQ around 6pm on a Sunday. They are trying to have a hip karaoke nightlife ambience but it was way to bright and there was nobody else in the restaurant aside from 1 worker and a grandma sitting in the corner on an iPad. It falls short of whatever they are shooting for. They use barcode smartphone ordering at the table. The process is efficient enough but the waiter service is curt even by Asian standards. The BBQ skewers tasted ok if you enjoy cumin spice. Beef, lamb, tendon, chicken wing, and pork belly were all fine. Portions are by no means generous. Makes me miss the curry shop that used it occupy this space. read more

definitely not the best i've had but it's good if you just need to get your skewer fix. cucumber salad was just OK, oddly enough it wasn't even cold, it was room temp and it def needed a lot more flavor. i thought the portion size of the chicken skin wasn't justifiable for me, if you're going to give tiny pcs then there better be a lot of them on the skewer lol. beef was a little fatty, and somehow kept getting gradually saltier each time i ate a piece. flavor on everything was pretty decent and i was a big fan of the pork belly and the veggies.....also how do you not have any enoki or oyster mushroom skewers!? read more

This place is one of the newer Asian food joints in the area. Based on the name of the establishment, I was expecting BBQ everything. What we got was grilled food. Not what we were expecting. Long story short, it fell very short for us. I'm sure some people will really enjoy it, but not us. Longer story - Saturday night and the place was 1/4 full and we wanted to try something different. You sit down and pull out your phone to get the menu and to order. The menu really needs more details on the menu items for the skewers, specifically to the effect of the spice. All skewers are spicy/hot. But that's not detailed in the "popular items" menu. You only find that detail if you look at the skewers menu. That's a huge miss. My wife doesn't like spice so this was already the beginning of a disappointing meal. The portion sizes are disappointing. Items in pictures look larger than they really are especially the skewers. The rice plate was a decent size. The staff also missed one of our skewers. It took 10 minutes to clear up even though they could count the skewers on our table and clearly saw we were one short. Very annoying. Paying was also really weird. You would expect a place with online menus and ordering to be able to accept online or mobile payments. Well, not here. When you get back to your phone and web order, you select checkout and pay, and then are instructed to go to the counter and pay. The worst part of this experience - nobody on the staff spoke English. Only Chinese. It was extremely difficult to get resolution to our missing skewer. It was difficult to order one dish for take out as the guy didn't understand we wanted one dish in a container. The guy kept taking to us in Chinese even though I told him neither of us spoke it. Fortunately, the worker had a friend who stopped by to visit and he ended up translating the issues to him. This is the first and last time I'll come here. Oh and the bill for just two of us - close to $80 after tax. Certainly not worth the experience we had. read more

My brothers came here for our Sibling Monthly Date yesterday and right when we walked in we were seated right away. The gentleman that was working here was very nice and even let us know his English wasn't the best, but he seemed to know just enough to provide us with very good service We ordered Peach Soju ( it was okay not my favorite), Beef Noodle Soup (I enjoyed the broth and the beef a lot. The noodles were pretty long), deep fried pork( it was good but some pieces had a lot of the sauce which tasted like sweet and sour sauce. I'd preferred mines not doused in the sauce), The pork skewers (loved the seasoning and tasted fresh from the grill, chicken fried rice (wasn't flavorful enough for me) and the popcorn chicken (nothing special compared to other popcorn chicken). If you come here I would like to recommend the beef noodle soup and the pork skewers. It wasn't packed only a few tables full when we arrived. Very casual and peaceful environment. read more

We went on a weekday around 6:30p and were the only ones there. That should have been our sign to get the heck out of there. We ordered several skewers and all were subpar. Seemed like same seasoning on everything (some cumin mix spice?). Several meats were dry, fatty and hard to chew. No dipping sauces. The wings were the only thing that was decent. Had high hopes but definitely would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This is a great place to get bbq. My hubby and kids loved the lamb, pork belly and beef bbq. I liked how they had a wide range of meat and vegetable options. I have been craving for pickled veggies for a while. It was great timing that they serve pickled cucumber. It was very tasty and crunchy. The food comes in big serving. I love how they serve the bbq in metal skewers. I am so happy that there'sa Chinese bbq place in the area. read more

Great skewers and nice atmosphere. We went there several times. The service is always good and they serve the food really fast.

I felt discriminated against here, walked in, and saw that the place was empty. Another person walked in who they seemed to know and got her food before ours. We got our food about 30 minutes later, and almost walked out. Then a party came in and got their food in half the time we waited for ours. Food was mediocre, and I would not go back for the food, let alone be discriminated against. read more
