    Wings and leg quarter
    Brinton F.

    My go to restaurant in Chinatown! I wish that they delivered - I would certainly have it more often. I always get (and recommend either the wings or duck). I cant recommend anything else because I've been hooked on those 2 things for the past 3 years! With the wings, make sure you go earlier in thr day because they always sell out. I just went and they had like 6 left, so I ordered a quarter BBQ chicken leg to go with it. Enjoy!

    This is a casual restaurant in Chicago that focuses on grilled meats and classic Hong Kong BBQ. Overall it was solid but nothing that really wowed me. The Mongolian beef was average because the beef was a little too fatty for my liking but the flavors were great. The soya chicken and duck were tasty, with the duck being some of the better ones I had. The BBQ ribs and squid were okay, but I probably wouldn't order those again. Fun casual stop if you're already in Chinatown Square.

    So authentic, no frills just a straight forward casual Chinese restaurant. Known for the bbq duck and other dishes. It was $2.80 out the door for a can of Coke Zero. The ducks are hanging, it's part of their charm. Located inside the West Gate. Across the street from Walgreens, East Side, enter in front of Lao's Szechuan. Many places to shop and enjoy Boba Tea. Busy market, closed before 9pm.

    Another place I love to visit when I'm in town. Usually after visiting hing kee. Today I grabbed the usual duck and rice dish. A generous portion of duck on steamed rice with a sauce and baby bok choy. I believe it was around 12 bucks. I think it's a good value. I think the duck tastes delicious. The rice was also good. I took it back to the place I was staying at and it was well packed with additional service wear. They also gave me a soup which was delicious. Service was very helpful. Just a very casual low-key dining room. There is parking around the area, although can be difficult during peak business hours and warmer weather. It was kind of quiet today due to the severe weather.

    Classic Cantonese roasted meat store, where you are greeted with the lines of roasted meat handing on display. There's actually more people buying whole ducks, and other roasted meat like char siew togo instead of dining in. I got their duck with rice, ans it comes with a bowl of soup. Love Cantonese soups, alway packed with ingredients like carrots, meats and other veggies. Duck with rice is good too, meat is tender and thick! Unlike other roasted meat stores where their ducks are skinny. Skin isnt too fatty too! Would recommend

    Wow what a great spot!!! I stopped here on a whim but I am definitely planning to come back next time I'm in Chicago! I don't know the history or background but my impression is this is a classic Chicago Chinese bbq spot. They have a huge menu and I'm impressed by the quality of the ingredients, large serving size and great price! I was surprised that my meal came with a side of delicious soup too! Highly recommend

    We did the bbq dinner for 3, and left stuffed with tons of leftovers. The bao buns were delightful! Would def do it again. The service was quick. Ambiance is tiny dive.

    I've been here before with a better experience but my last time here I made the mistake of coming an hour before closing. The first time it was a four star experience, this time it was a two star time, so I guess it averages to just okay. The barbeque combination came out refrigerator cold, so we sent it back and it came back tepid. It was overcooked so it had been sitting out for a long time, put away for a while, and for the Love of Mike, the name of the place is "BBQ King..." More like a BBQ knave. However, the fried jumbo shrimp (salt and pepper style) was very good. Plenty of rice came with, but not altogether. Waitress was good, though she had too many tables. It closes an hour after most of the neighboring restaurants so it gets filled up an hour before closing, not sure why they would start putting their signature food away early.

    BBQ pork and duck hanging up front
    Johnfavour N.

    I love BBQ king house. Their roasted pi pa duck and BBQ pork remind me of celebrations at home. The meat is always fresh and they're open thanksgiving and the day after thanksgiving. The BBQ duck is super rich with crispy skin and a thick layer of fat that's so delicious, I could eat it for a week straight! The BBQ pork (char siu pork) is pretty lean with a sweet caramelized coating. Both of them are cut up by the chefs to order so it's very easy to serve at home. There are a few tables inside, it's a very casual environment inside. I always do takeout and they are quick with taking orders and preparing the meat. They understand English so ordering is a breeze! The owner has met the Obamas multiple times and has plaques on the wall to commemorate it, which I think is pretty cool!

    Best traditional peking duck Ive had in Chicago! Crispy skin served with scallions and hoisin, duck soup, and stir fried duck meat with veggies.

    Over price jelly fish from a dollar store.

    We ordered a jellyfish and it looks straight from a frozen bag, no sauce and no sesame oil for $33. And the lamp stew is not even complete cook. But the BBQ duck was good.

    3 combo platter- roast pork, roast duck, BBQ pork
    Jonathan W.

    Offers some high quality Cantonese roast meats. It's equal in comparison to the BBQ shops (Sam Woo, etc) offered in LA and the SGV. Of course the prices is higher, but the taste, and flavor, and quality is there. Staff speak Cantonese, Mandarin, English Can dine in or take off out 3 meat combination platter ($30). Comes with bowl of rice. Roast Pork- very crispy skin- pieces of lean pork and mixed with fat all in the perfect bite. Cantonese Roast duck- skin has great texture, combination of nice fatty pieces of duck, and lean meat. BBQ pork (char shiu)- perfect combo of sweetness and savory. Not overly marinated and sweet. Has enough fatty and lean taste.

One of the things I love about coming here is the customer service because it's really great, especially from one of the really nice girls who works in the mornings on weekdays (I need to get her name and edit this review because she's so nice) and their oatmeal bowls are some of the best I've had and I'm pretty picky about my oatmeal. Another positive is they can do a 100% nut free smoothie because they have separate blenders for people that can't have nuts and I think that's amazing. I've seen places that mix nut and nut free in the same blenders and that's so dangerous / frustrating. I'll definitely continue coming here

Originally on a mission for a smoothie, I was greeted by a friendly staff member and a much larger menu than expected. There is a slew of inventive food that all looked amazing, ranging from sandwiches to noodles and sushi. I opted for the Maca Picchu smoothie, a mini cranberry muffin, and an empanada. I was blown away by how flavorful everything was! The smoothie was creamy, lightly sweet, and very refreshing. The mini muffin tasted like a firmer version of edible cookie dough and was a perfect sweet treat. The empanada was not crunchy, but it was flavorful and the vegan cashew cream was incredibly smooth. I was really impressed not only by the taste of the food, but the texture and presentation as well. There is a level of detail and care that is apparent and really exceptional. Consider me a fan- I'm already looking forward to not only the next visit, but to bring more plant-based meals into my kitchen as well!

Sometimes when you're stoned you do the weirdest things and crave the weirdest stuff. I was scrolling on DoorDash for what felt like 67 years when I stumbled on Deep Purpl. Their menu literally screamed exactly what my munchies were demanding, so obviously I ordered everything. First up the Acai Bowl 20oz with banana, strawberry, kiwi, granola, organic honey, extra strawberries, and chia seeds. I am telling you this bowl changed me as a human. I had never had an Acai Bowl before and now I'm obsessed. Every fruit was fresher than fresh, the granola was a spiritual experience, and the balance of flavors was ridiculous. Then I got the PB Toast and I'm still asking myself why I hesitated to pay $6.99 for it. GAWD it was amazing. Crispy bread, peanut butter, banana, strawberries, blueberries, honey drizzle. The best $6.99 piece of toast I have ever had in my life. Because I clearly have no self-control I also grabbed the spinach and cheese empanada and malbec and beef empanada. No words. Everything was fantastic. Every single item was a joy to inhale and I will absolutely do it again. The DoorDash pick-up was super easy and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only minor gripe is they don't provide bags so I had to carry everything individually walking home, which was slightly annoying. But honestly the food, the vibes, and the experience? 10 out of 10. Will be back.
