    Roasted pork belly served with rice & pickled vegetables
    Lisa L.

    We always get the roasted pork by the lb here and recently I just found out from a foodie on IG that they have lunch combos. I stopped by and got the pork belly (which is served with rice & picked vegetables) I loved it and it definitely hit the spot! I would definitely come back again. Honorable Mentions: -Plenty of parking -Cash only

    Roasted duck
    Arman T.

    Roasted duck was amazing! So thick and flavorful. Great price too! Minus one star because it's cash only. Minus 2 stars because they were so rude and very impatient. They were nice if you already knew what to get without asking questions and especially if you could speak their language. But it was our first time, we asked questions and they just didn't like that at all. They answered very rude and even tried to ignore us and was about to skip us to take order the next customer! Unbelievable! I was about to just give 1 or 0 star because of this but my wife said that the roasted duck was so good that it was worth it. Lol.

    BBQ time!

    Went here for the first time today. Lien Hoa BBQ Deli is your typical Asian hole in the wall to-go spots for bbq pork (char siu), bbq duck and steamed chicken, etc. You'll see ducks hanging down from the heated lamps and roasted crispy pork too. It's located in a relatively large strip mall so it's hard to miss - plenty of parking. We ordered the bbq pork to go - $4.49 per pound which is relatively cheap considering you're getting a pound of meat. They'll ask if you want it chopped or leave it whole. We got it whole and tried it at home and was very disappointed. The meat was tough and dry (char siu should always have some level of fattiness to it) and the sweet flavor wasn't all there. I tasted the five spice and that was it. Really disappointed at this place but I should have known better considering all the other negative reviews. We'll stop by one more time here to try the duck and steamed chicken - maybe they'll taste better than the bbq pork.

    Came here this morning to pick up a whole roast duck, got me 5 dipping sauces too. Efficient since I was the only customer at 9am. $21

    Does this look like ba roi to you?
    Ann Q.

    Sent my daughter to get ba roi today as we were craving it for lunch. As soon as I opened the box, I knew they jacked her. (See photos uploaded) The meat were hard and stupid fatty! It's pretty sad to take advantage of kids when they don't know any better. I've been going to this place for years and I can truthfully say I will never go back.

    Located in a huge Asian strip mall, just east of the 405 freeway is this Chinese/ Vietnamese BBQ deli. Their specialty is the duck and the roast pork. Normally I visit the other location off Bolsa, which is much larger, but I was heading toward Westminster and this was on the way. I had a craving for the roast pork, and at 5:15 pm, I walked in and all they had was 3 hanging roast ducks and roast pork spareribs. As I was the only one in the store, I wasn't sure what to do. Do I buy something? Do I walk out? I kept asking the old guy "No more roast pig?" He replied "No more, sold out. Next time, come early". But... it was 5:15, not even dinner time. Sighing I took about 1/4 of a pound of the spareribs. I actually took it back to my car and scarfed it down. The meat was delicious, but a tad salty. I want to give the place 4 stars for the excellent food, but it was truly slim slim pickings at 5:15. Perhaps it was a Monday and they know its not as busy? I don't know, but was so disappointed that I left without my roast pig.

    One of the best spots for roast duck in OC. Highly recommend. Parking is plentiful. They also accept card payment.

    I've been telling my family about this place for years and finally we made plans for dinner to come…read morehere. We got here on Friday night 4/3/26 around 5:30pm. All the tables were full and there was one party of 11 just ahead of us. Our wait for a table was like 30 minutes or so. Once we were up we were guided to a table towards the back for five. Our server asked if we been here before and if we wanted anything else besides water to drink. My brother and his fiance split a full order of the beef ribs and side order of sauteed garlic green beans. My mom and step dad split a full order of beef ribs while I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs which came with two side orders. I picked coleslaw and onion rings which I shared with the family. The food came out promptly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The baby back ribs were moist with flavor, smoked and went well with their bbq sauce. The rest of the family really like their beef ribs. And they even commented that it was better than the other bbq places we been to. Definitely will return and highly recommend.

    *** SCAM ALERT *** I…read moredon't use the word "SCAM" lightly, but that's what this was. My adult son called in a $281.62 order off the menu for Mother's Day. They would not accept the order or payment over the phone because the order was "too big." They asked that someone go there and pay up front for the entire order. Since it was the evening before Mother's Day, I drove to them and paid for the order. Yes, I was also presented with a minumum 20% TIP screen, which I declined. When I got there at pickup time (4:00pm) on Mother's Day, the price changed to $325.51. I was told that, for some reason, they had cut about 50% larger portions than the menu specified (see the line items, which should have been 1 lb. each), so they charged me for the difference ($325.51 - $281.62) which was $43.89 (about 50% more for the 2 items they cut heavier). No, there was no mention when I placed the order that the total cost might change due to extra meat. Neither is it shown on their web site or printed menus. When I protested, there was no option. If I don't pay the $43.89 difference, I don't get the Mother's Day food. After about 20 minutes of bickering at the counter with two different clerks (note the time stamp differences on the credit card slips), I was given my original order, with a net price reduction of ($281.62 - $254.93) $26.69. My persistence had paid off. On a positive note, the cook did, twice, walk up to me and quietly apologize for what was going on. I know many folks would have folded in this situation, but that's not my nature. I don't stand for dishonesty. Yes, it was embarrassing, other clients in line were not happy (I let them skip ahead of me so as not to inconvenience them). None of them had price increases. I don't know if the clerks wanted a tip because the management doesn't pay them much, or it this goes deeper and is standard operating procedure that assumes most clients will simply approve of the overage and pay up. In any case, from this client's point of view, this is a SCAM! When it was all over, I took my 11 and 12 year old grandsons (who had been sitting patiently waiting for grandpa to pay) and my food package to the car, drove home and proudly presented the meat to my family. After all, I am a hunter-gatherer; and the food was great!

I usually call in an order for pick it up but I needed to finish up some work before dinner and my family wanted BBQ. I didn't have time to drive over there but noticed they now offer delivery so I downloaded their app. I was having trouble adding an item to my cart so I called to ask for help. After trying to walk me through it without success, Cole just offered to personally drop off the order for me. I was totally thinking I was going to let my family down and have to figure out something else. I was shocked that he even offered because I know they are a small shop and can get busy. I assumed they partnered with door dash or Uber eats for their delivery. The cherry on top was that the food got here faster than if I had used door dash Anyhow, it is rare to experience this kind of hospitality these days and thought they deserved the kudos. Thank you for going above and beyond. Our favorites on the menu are the pulled pork, brisket, sausage and chicken.

He continued to talk loudly and making a statement in front of this whole team and all of them looking like I was in the wrong. Excuse you? Did I ask for a box of bones?

Honestly, just that alone, you can get full and be satisfied with it, but you go to a KBBQ for the meats. With the HH menu, there's a limited selection of meats, but our go to are Brisket, beef belly and pork belly. As I mentioned the one woman team for the front of house staff, service was excellent. She single handedly took care of all tables bringing out meat orders, clearing tables and cashing people out, she honestly did better than some other restaurants we've been too with more staff. I definitely would come back here, but again only if I'll be in the area and it has to be during the Happy Hour time block
