King Kong BBQ is a great place to grab a quick meal at an affordable price. This Chinese "fast food" place features ready to serve hot foods and various cooked meats. I was there at 7pm on a Saturday. I've seen this place cross my Yelp feed a few times, so I wanted to come try it. I also got a tip from a Yelp Elite that the roast pig was very good here. So I ordered the $8.99 Combo meal- Chow Mein and/or Fried Rice + 2 Items from the steam table. -at extra cost, you can sub meats from the BBQ/Cooked Meat section. So I got fried rice, and string beans w/ Chicken/Mushrooms. 2nd item was Chicken in gravy w/ mixed veggies. I asked them to put some gravy over the rice to make it soft and moist. Good portions! You get alot of food for $8.99. Chicken was very tender and easy to eat. All the foods were good. I also got 1/2 a roast duck and a small box of roast pig to try. They said they cook the roast ducks there. The duck had a mild flavor, but it was tender and moist. The roast pig was good. Moist juicy meat. Crispy crunchy pork skin. There's tables and booths in the dining room. The decor doesn't match an asian restaurant. Honestly, I can't remember what used to be here. The layout and outside design looks like an old style Taco Bell. They have a large parking lot. There's a 7-11 sign, but no 7-11 store. The staff was very nice. You just tell them what you want, and point at which tray of food. BTW...."BBQ" means Chinese BBQ.... - Roast Pork Belly - Roast Duck - Imperial Chicken - Soy Sauce Chicken - Honey BBQ Pork Overall a very good experience, and I would return. ------------------------------------- Located at East 14th St & 136th Ave, Near San Leandro Blvd. Across the street from Palma Plaza and San Leandro Hospital. Free parking read more

It is everything you expect with a random mom and pop Chinese spot. For example, limited English with the staff, which are likely family or friends. Parking is provided at this casual eatery. Food is solid, but what is likely to bring you in is the value for their generous portions. Only indoor seating with a variety of hot sauces at the table. read more

Just received my order from King Kong BBQ, and the food quality is so disappointing. I ordered the BBQ pork fried rice, but the bbq pork is a dark brown color and seems old, and there are absolutely no onions. Please see the images below. One is an image of how the item appeared in the menu where I placed my order, the other is the actual dish upon arrival. We also orders the chicken wings which comes 3 to an order. I was suspect because they were only $3 per order, and my suspicion was on point! The chicken doesn't even taste like chicken. I am not implying that it is something other than chicken, just that the quality is so poor that it should not be consumed. This was a horrible was of $$$. The dishes look NOTHING like the images in the menu. The items in the menu must be from a different restaurant, or a different era at this restaurant. read more

I was told about this Place from my Sister!!! So I went to King Kong Bbq to try them out. They are located in an Older Taco Bell Restaurant!! They have a Huge Selection of Chinese Food in a Steam Table ! The Decor and Atmosphere of the place is a Repurposed Taco Bell Restaurant!! Service is really good, but the people working the Steam Table speak limited English !! So keep that in mind and be Patient!!! They also sell Roast Duck and Pork Belly by the Pound! I bought a Pound of Pork Belly and 3 Item Plate consisting of Sweet and Sour Pork Salt and Pepper Fish Chow Mein And Fried Rice It was really Delicious!!! They take Credit Card but charge a fee!!! So Cash is King!!! For These Reasons This Is A Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment!!! I Keep My Pimp Hand Strong!!!! read more

Service & food is excellent. They have a lot of selections to choose from. The parking is good too.

A hidden gem. Not subpar, not top tier, yet tasty. The veggie egg fu yung, just perfect for me. Vegetables in abundance and not to doughy. The fried fish is meaty, flaky, and moist. I try to get what's fresh. The women have always been friendly to me. The price point is affordable and reasonable. They're probably one of few so offering one or two item combo plates for under $10. The setting is simple. Still looks like Taco Bell. I ordered to go only. They're worth giving a try. read more

Came back again and ordered their Beef Chow Fun and Honey Walnut Prawns were excellent. Th beef chow fun had that prefect wok burn smokey flavor and the prawns were not too sweet. Also got Beef Stew and Garlic Bok Choy again, both were consistent, same as the last time. They raised their prices a little on the BBQ combo plates. But still great value!!! read more

King Kong BBQ opens where China Kitchen Express was. Same concept, adding Chinese BBQ items. new ownership. Seating same. Site may have been a Taco Bell awhile ago. Offerings: scoop ready steam table of fried eats, vegetables & Chinese BBQ items. Prompt service upon entering, took a minute to peruse my choices. Bites: chow mein, fried rice + 2 items (8.99) -overfilling with the carbs. Slight leakage from clamshell container. -fried rice slight mushiness with dried semi-hard bbq pork bits. Tasted ok. Not a fav. Had usual seasoning of salt, sugar, and slight msg. -thick chow mein noods tastier with same seasoning. Size inhibited drying. Neither had vegs. Brocculi beef had tenderized beef & fresh, crunchy brocculi florets. Same seasoning profile. Chicken Gailan (Chinese Broculli) had crunchy veggies & tender chicken slices. Same seasoning profile. 3.5 stars Worthy! Deliz. Reasonable pricing. Local owners. Small parking lot. Ample inside seating. read more

Came across King Kong BBQ on my way home and decided to check it out after seeing some decent Yelp reviews. I'd probably only go here if I were ballin' on a budget - the place wasn't very clean, service was just okay, and while the food was cheap, it wasn't anything special. I had the salt and pepper fish, which was mostly fried breading with little actual fish, and the Szechuan chicken, which wasn't bad but a bit salty. The fried rice was decent, and the portions were generous - $8.99 for two items is hard to beat. I did catch them at the end of the day, so some of the food looked like it had been sitting a while. Overall, solid portions for a low price, but probably a three-star spot at best. read more

King Kong BBQ Restaurant - Two item combo with Salt & Pepper Fish and fried rice - Barbeque Near Me - San Leandro, California

Limited menu items, but the food is good and the portion is generous. You have traditional Cantonese BBQ items to Chinese-American orange chicken. It's great budget friendly box lunch place. There are maybe 4-5 tables there. It's mainly a takeout place. The owners use to own King Kong BBQ in Castro Valley. read more

My parents get food recommendations from the Little Red Book app (小紅書) all the time and this was a recent find that made an impression on them! While I can't speak for most of their Chinese takeout offerings (we strictly go there for their Chinese deli meat options), their prices are very reasonable and is worth going out of your way for. Our most frequented purchase is their whole roasted goose($36). It's great for potlucks or large family gatherings as the servings are huge. There's plenty of parking and remember to bring cash! read more

Today was my second time getting food from here. The first time was months ago when they first opened. The food wasn't great back then, but I didn't want to leave a bad review because they were just starting out. I figured I'd give them time to improve. I didn't know they had BBQ and porridge until it popped up on my Yelp feed, so I decided to give it another try. I ordered roast duck and roast pork over white rice, and a porridge with pork and preserved egg. While ordering, I was asked twice if I needed anything else, and I said no, just the porridge I mentioned. They told me it was still being made in the back. I went to the counter to pay, and while I was waiting, I noticed the workers talking amongst themselves and pointing at me. One of the ladies told me I still needed to pay. I told her I already did and was just waiting for my porridge. Then a guy from the kitchen, who had been part of their conversation, came to the front and said I hadn't paid for the porridge because the lady forgot to charge me. I told him I had mentioned it when I first ordered. His response was, "Well you paid and knew how much you paid." His tone was rude and honestly made me feel like I was trying to scam them or get free food, which was not the case at all. I don't usually look at prices, I just order what I'm craving. So for him to suggest I should've known it wasn't charged came off really disrespectful. Also, last time my partner picked up the food, so this was my first time actually going inside. The whole experience just felt off and it left a bad taste in my mouth, and not because of the food. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

King Kong BBQ Restaurant - Roast duck and roast pork rice plate - Barbeque Near Me - San Leandro, California

Super cheap pricing, I think it's like $6.99 for 2 items? Didn't realize when I was picking my items that BBQ items (like BBQ pork) are priced more, and is $9.99 for the combo. Wish they mentioned that, even though its on the menu, since it's not super obvious. The food is just okay. Got the lemon chicken which looked great, but was slightly bland and not as lemony as I wanted. I also got the BBQ pork, which was also fine. Not too flavorful but tender enough. The chow mein was also bland and needed some soy sauce to doctor it up. The pricing and customer service are good, but at higher price points, I wouldn't come here. They're a new business, so I'm rooting for them and hope its just them working out the recipes. read more

Stopped by here to pick up a couple lunch plates. 2 item combo with fried rice or chow mien for $8.99. Not too bad of a price. We got fried rice with sweet and sour pork and orange chicken. We also got the chow fun with short ribs and orange chicken. A nice surprise to see short ribs as one of the offerings. The short ribs were surprisingly tasty and tender. The sweet and sour pork was good as well. Good chunks of pork and not all fillers. They have a hand written menu in the back where they do the the 3 dishes for 39.99. Will need to come back and try it. Easy parking, quick service. read more

Went late afternoon on a weekday. Tastes like nostalgia. The familiar taste of kung pao chicken and spicy chicken was very satisfying. The crunch was perfect. I ordered a medium container of each and they stuffed it in. Very generous. No frills. It's a simple buffet line where I can see what I'm getting. There are seats for dining in, but a lot of the space was being used as storage for the restaurant. Seems more like a takeout spot. read more

Super delicious and affordable! It's really hard to find a restaurant like this nowadays considering the inflation in this economy! I love how the food wasn't oily at all compared to other restaurants but still contain the right amount of flavor. They give out very generous portions!! My food was packed to the top of the box, making it hard to shut. Shoutout to the kind and patient man taking my order!! Will return to try the remaining dishes they have! Definitely give it a try and you won't regret it!! read more

King Kong BBQ Restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - San Leandro, California

Yes, King Kong BBQ is an extremely good value, but what I appreciate most is the variety of entrees (at least 15 options for the Combo Plate). Yes, they have the usuals like Broccoli Beef, but they also have more specialty items like Oyster Sauce Pork Chop, and to my delight, Salt and Pepper Fish. Favorite entrees so far are the Salt and Pepper Chicken and the Spicy Chicken, King Kong's take on Orange Chicken but with more tang and notes of hoisin / five spice. The Fried Rice is flavorful with chunks of pork - I prefer it over the Chow Mein. Also, you can add BBQ items to a Combo Plate for an upcharge. One current downside is that depending on timing, some of the less popular items may be lukewarm and have lost their crispiness. For the Chinese BBQ, my favorite so far is the BBQ Pork, which was flavorful and tender with a good fatty-to-lean ratio. The Roasted Pork Belly was juicy and had the classic crispy skin, but I did find it a tad fattier than usual. Same thing goes for the Roasted Duck, which I also thought could use more seasoning. And unlike the Combo Plate, the BBQ Over Rice likely won't last you two meals. All that said, the BBQ's good enough to satisfy a fix! read more

This place is so good and the portions are huge! And not to mention super affordable... I got two orders of 2 item with half fried rice and noodles and it was $8.99 each. The chicken is cooked perfectly, crispy, not dry, and spicy chicken sauce was great. The roast pork was good too, but I kinda wish I tried the other chicken flavors. It was cool to see short rib as a menu item and the Mongolian beef had a weird color, but still delicious. Fried rice was okay, noodles were good. Service was quick, it was no line at 12pm on a Monday (holiday). It is a cafeteria style so all the food is premade and you choose what you want. It was chill vibes, it's on e.14th by SL high school and there is a parking lot with tons of spots. Inside is clean but the booths look outdated, and would rather get takeout and eat it at home. I eat a lot and couldn't finish my meal bc of the portion size. I will be saving for dinner time. I will be returning since it's right around the corner from where I live. FYI credit/debit minimum is $15 read more

King Kong BBQ Restaurant - Spicy chicken, roasted pork, Fried Rice & Chow Mein 2 Items - Barbeque Near Me - San Leandro, California

This is a super cheap Chinese steam table restaurant with some typical Cantonese dishes make to order. 6.99 rice or chow mein + 1 item or 8.99 with 2 items. The 1 or 2 items you can pick Chinese BBQ pork (no other BBQ items) A lot of good BBQ restaurants exclude any bbq item because they are sold by weight. Witnessing an Asian lady with 2 huge box of $6.99 items (1 box with BBQ, 2nd probably with a veg. dish, how brilliant!), I've decided to come back with my friend who's a huge fan of Chinese fried rice. Today, I'll just order as much Cantonese as I can, ^^. - $9.99 fried flounder is crispy, fresh and juicy! The price caught my eye on Yelp during my research and I couldn't believe how good it is. It was a very affordable item before inflation and pushed to the 'seafood' category with matching price. I can't believe it's under $10 here! MUST TRY if you like it. (Note that the fish is long so I had the lady broke it in half to fit the to-go box. Bad idea because stacked fish create steam so the bottom became soggy. Prob the best to break them and put into 2 diff paper bags. Box bottom keeps the steam too) - 1Lb of roasted pork is above average but I still prefer ones from Ranch 99 in Richmond, and ONLY in Richmond (I had some horrible Chinese BBQs in R99 Concord.......) - $14.99 Salty fish chicken fried rice, no chicken no scallion. Reasonable priced and big portion. In Cantonese standard, it comes with just the right amount of fat and the eggs are fried to the C-standard. Fantastic place to get authentic make to order Cantonese food near the 580 side of world. And my solute to this graceful lady who stepped forward and paid for the teenager's 1.66 soda, for some reasons the kid's phone doesn't work. Small money, big heart and hope for the world. read more

Just noticed this place had a different sign, so I hopped on the internet to look for reviews. Sounded good enough for me to want to check it out, and I'm glad I did. The owner said they had only been open for 3 months, which is why I probably never noticed the new signage before. I had never been to the old place so I cannot compare the two. I got the pork with preserved egg porridge and roast pork belly. Both were excellent. I will say that it took several minutes for the porridge to come out, and it was still hot for quite a while afterwards, so it definitely was not zapped. They also have roast duck, barbecue pork, and your typical steam table dishes. Although there are a few tables, it's small, and it's mainly a takeout place. Being a takeout place, there is zero ambiance. But the place was clean and inviting and the service was friendly and efficient. Definitely going to have to come back to try some of their other dishes. read more
