After a lengthy duration, I decided to try Dad's BBQ again. I was excited this time & was also…read morecraving BBQ. My thing last time was just hating how everything, & I mean everything, was drenched in sauce. Swimming. So this time, requested for the sauce to be on the side. I got a combo plate: Chicken, Tri-tip, green beans, greens, and the medium sauce on the side. Chicken: A bit dry, but it was okay - just lacks flavor without the sauce. Tri-tip: Dry, chewy, bouncy, and lacks flavor, similarly to the chicken. Greens & green beans: They were decent! I actually really like the green beans a lot & ate it fairly quick! The flavor was there. The veggies (all of them) were cooked at the right consistency, not too soft, not too firm! The bread that it comes with: 2 slices of (what seems to be) wheat bread, a fork, and napkins, in a ziplock bag... The sauce: the sauce is good! It's got a decent kick to it! And the flavor is also alright. Service: service was good and straight forward. I also received the food quickly. Portions: I received a full plate, and I couldn't ask for more! It was packed in there! Overall, despite the positives, the negatives outweigh it. The main thing I came for was the meat, and was highly disappointed by it. If I need sauce to make it better (which didn't make it much better, considering how dry the meat itself was), then the BBQ isn't good. Thankfully the sides were great & portions were big, and service was also a plus, the main reason I decided to order was a flop. The quality of the meat or how it is cooked was disappointing.

I have been eating Freddy B's BBQ for a while now. I must say that prior times the food was spot…read moreon. In fact it was the best bbq on this side of the tunnel. The service was always good. Nice people in there. Nice bbq spot with a tv in to watch while you wait for your food. Unfortunately this time was not ok. The two things that got me upset was the fact that the greens weren't as tasty as before. Not sure if it was to much brown sugar or to much of a smoke taste. The second thing that got me pissed off was how they chopped the tri tip into REALLLLLY small pieces as if I had no teeth or they were feeding a toddler. When I think about it, it probably was food from the day before. Now yes they chop it but this time, the cook went too far. Also going up on your prices I would expect a little more food. I hope they improve on giving more food to pay customers. I would hate to see them close.

I'm so glad we have a Chinese duck and pool roast eatery here in the area. Most of these places are…read moretough to find; either in Chinatowns in major city hubs or a primarily heavy Asian-influenced town. I came here yesterday during opening and there was already a long line of people waiting for their orders. I think they can hire a few more people to speed things up in the back kitchen. I ordered their roast pork belly with rice which was really good. Expect that traditional 5-spice flavor that's mainly used in Chinese roast pork. They give a generous amount too which is nice. I also enjoyed the ginger sauce it came with. I thought this paired better than the black sweet sauce they provide. Typically I like my pork belly thoroughly cooked but this is a different style and I still enjoyed it. It's worth $15! I want to come back to try their duck next!

I'm very impressed with their authentic chinese bbq. I got the Roast Duck, Haianese Chicken, and…read moreCrispy Pork Belly. This is definitely on par with Oakland & SF Chinatown. Reasonably price. Honestly, the pork belly is the star and could be the best I've had in a long time considering I still live and grew up in Oakland. At other chinese bbq spots the skin to me is usually very crunchy and chewy. But Roast Eatery pork belly skin is so light and crispy, that after a few bites the tender meat and fat slowly melts in your mouth making it very enjoyable. The sweet sauce with the pork belly is new to me. it's interesting but i prefer eating it with the ginger scallion because it helps cut the richness from the pork belly. The Haianese Chicken is exceptional. Cooked perfectly to tendernism. Anyone new to chinese bbq and wondering why the chopped chicken bone is still red or pink, that's called myoglobin so don't worry it's already cooked and means that it's perfectly gently poached. Of course, always take caution, ask questions and do a little research. If you're afraid, just eat around it, but this will probably be the best and healthiest way to eat chicken if you're on a diet. Roast Duck was flavorful, tender and nicely roasted. Definitely your go to local spot if you're in the East County (Oakley, Brentwood, or Antioch). It's also on par with local favorite spots in Oakland Chinatown like Gold Medal. Service is very straight forward and quick to order. The staff are friendly. Got our order in less than 10 minutes. Overall, I will be coming here more frequently for my chinese bbq fix and quick healthy lunch. They also own the dim sum bakery next door and it's definitely a hit too!

First thing... you order from a kiosk when you walk in. Kinda cute honestly. The spot is small but they have TVs going and little Connect Four games on the tables so it has a fun vibe. Nicole was working and she was genuinely warm and welcoming. Not that fake "hi welcome in" energy . She actually made you feel like you were supposed to be there. I did my research before going so we passed on the catfish (the reviews on that were not it). Instead I got the Large Garlic Noodles, Chicken & Sausage Rasta Pasta, and the Crawfish & Sausage Mac N Cheese. All three were hitting. Like actually good, not just hype good. After the food came I decided to try the watermelon lemonade and that was a solid decision. Not too sweet, really refreshing. For dessert we grabbed the Peach Cobbler out of the display case. It came in a little tin that it was made in, and it was slightly dry, but the flavor was there. Tasty, just needs some work. Came out to $70.25 total which honestly felt right for what we got. We will be back to try more stuff for sure. Maybe the protein items next time.

We tried Sticky Chicken at it's previous location and weren't impressed; the services was shoddy…read moreand food was meh. But I'm a firm believer in second chances so when we realized this was in a different location near an event we attended, we were excited to try it again. And I'm so glad we did. Service was 10/10. I saw a lot of previous reviews mentioning the same experience we originally had. If this was you but you liked the food, please give them another shot. We ordered a little closer to closing than I normally would (about an hour, nothing crazy.) The young lady that helped me was incredibly kind and double checked our order against the receipt. We don't live super close so this was very much appreciated. We ordered the 3s a Crowd, sticky wings, fries, corn bread, mac & cheese and potatoe salad. With the exception of the chicken tender that came in the 3s a Crowd, all of the meat was excellent. The brisket was perfectly smoked & sauced and the ribs literally fell off the bone. The chicken leg was crispy, juicy and had amazing flavor. Sadly, the chicken tender was really dry, almost tough to bite through. But in the grand scheme of meat - we weren't there for the tenders so not a deal breaker for us. Fries were packaged in a wax bag so they were pretty soggy, but I acknowledge that we had about a 10 minute drive before eating. They still tasted pretty good as far as fries go. Corn beard was about as unremarkable as corn bread can be without being notably bad. It wasn't bad - it certainly wasn't good... It was, much like the mac & cheese, without any flavor or appealing consistency at all. It was crumbly, not sweet or savory - and left no more than a hint of corn bread after taste. The mac & cheese was wildly overcooked & lacked any flavor at all. It didn't taste "bad," it literally tasted like nothing at all and was comically mushy. This wasn't something seasoning could fix. The potatoe salad on the other hand was great; very flavorful, amazing consistency, I loved this. If you can't have a bbq without mac & cheese or corn bread, this might not be the spot for you. But we will absolutely be back for ribs, chicken, brisket and to try the other sides. Overall we really enjoyed trying this again and will definitely be back.

I The food was good and tasty, however the wait staff they had serving the food was ABSOLUTELY RUDE. It was an older lady and a younger man serving the meats and they were unprofessional, and dismissive to each and every person including the children they were serving. Given this was a memorial service reception, their lack of empathy and professionalism really put a damper on the entire reception. I think you guys can do better and hire better waitstaff.

I feel bad, because I really wanted to support this place…read more The shopping center where it is located is interesting; one side of it is ok, but the side where "Tokyo Ramen & BBQ" is seems to have it's own micro culture. The parking spots near this restaurant are usually half empty and there's typically at least one suspicious car sitting there with some odd-looking activity going on. Not the fault of "Tokyo Ramen & BBQ". I walked in, even though from the outside it looked closed. A woman followed me in (she seemed possibly homeless. Not judging, just painting a picture). When I walked in, none of the tables had ANYTHING on them. And it looked kind of like they were out of business. I saw no employees. I waited. Then, I saw a man appear from behind the counter (he had been bent over doing something and I didn't see him at first). I wanted to try the food, because the reviews seemed pretty good, but I was sensing that I might regret it if I got locked in to this situation... The lady asked, "Are you open?" And the man said, "Yes". I walked straight out and went to a different ramen place for lunch. So, I can't speak to the food quality. But the ambiance was dismal. And, though it's not their fault, the whole scenario of that side shopping center made me think that they won't be around long. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see myself going back...

Got the garlic, tonkatsu Ramen, which I thought was pretty standard, but I didn't like the garlic…read morebecause it tasted like the kind from the jar. I think if they had used fresh (raw) garlic, the whole dish could've been much more elevated. But, with that said, I thought that the flavor was just okay. The broth could've been creamier, in my opinion. But the portion was pretty good and generous. I also chose pork belly as my choice of protein, and I thought the pork belly slices (chashu) was pretty good. Price was pretty standard for nowadays. The ambience of the restaurant was not the best. Don't get me wrong, the restaurant was nice and clean, but there was a lot of restaurant-unrelated items that they attempted to hide but they ended up being not quite well hidden, so they were kind of distracting. But the service was nice.
