    Awful Roast Pork
    Christal P.

    This was some of the worst roast pork I've ever tasted. The skin wasn't crispy, the meat was dry, and the fat was gelatinous. I threw most of it away. They should be embarrassed to sell such low quality meat. For crunchy pork go to Edamame Sushi in the same John R Square Plaza for its lechon plate.

    Came all the way out to Detroit for Zhang BBQ. Was it a bit disappointed to be honest. I tried the bbq pork and the roast pork. The cuts that I got were on the skinnier side, so they didn't hit the spot. The skin on the pork also wasn't crispy. The staff were nice though. I would give them another try when I'm in the neighborhood again.

    Roast duck (partially eaten) $17.70

    Amazing. I have been scouting out this place for years and finally stopped in. Everything I hoped it would be. Got half a roasted duck for $17.70 . Tons of food. I have ordered half duck before from local places and have never received this much food. Also mostly meat not just bones. Went in at 6 pm and they still had pork . Did not try the pork but will next time for sure! Very delicious and a great value . Wished I lived closer because it hard to find a good BBQ-only place.

    duck with delicious gravy
    Dea A.

    This place smells like heaven. So, you walk in and you see some ducks hanging by their necks with their heads still attached and their feet (or the feet of their cousins) simmering below. I suppose this may not sound appetitzing, but it is. The crispy delicious duck skin, underneath a layer of fat, served with duck drippings. Enough to put you into a duck coma. But the pig... my first love. The neon red is probably a warning color "DO NOT EAT" but it smells so good -- how could you not? They give it to you with a small container of soy sauce to cut the sweetness. This place probably shouldn't pass a health inspection. The meats are not refrigerated or hot. But honestly, I don't care. I'll die for this stuff. If this was my last meal before hemorrhaging my insides out, I'm totally OK with that. This is what you do: Go in, order 1/2 of a duck, 1 pound of bright red barbecued pork. The total should be roughly $17. The man will chop it up into bits for you and pack it up. You pay CASH. You walk out, and not so secretly stuff yourself in the car with these goodies. This is enough for 2 people with leftovers. They have other things like chickens, stewed feet, tripe, duck innards (?) and pig ears. -1 star for no seating and the fact I'll probably end up paying for this adventure later *CASH ONLY* PS - on the sign it says Zhang's BBQ on the street side sign it says Cheung's BBQ -- let's just say go towards the thing that says BBQ.

    Duck and pork
    Randy G.

    How does China Bar-B-Que compare to other asian BBQ's, they fell short. The glass case, hanging duck, pig intestines, and bbq pork, are all present to give you the full effect, but it still has to deliver on flavor. I tried the bbq pork and it really didn't compare to other asian bbq places. The pork was dry and lacked the strong bbq flavor usually present. Maybe I caught it on an off day and I'll have to try it again to see if they deliver the same uneventful, dry, and disappointing bbq pork.

    Whole roasts pork
    Rachel L.

    If you have never been to a Chinese BBQ place before, do not judge this book by it's cover! When you walk into this little gem, all you see are various types of meat hanging behind glass - many still whole and intact. You walk up to the small counter and order your meat by the pound. The pork is good, but the duck is really where I think they stand out. Depending on what you order (for example the whole roast pork) you can specify if you would like with or without fat. Then take your meat home and enjoy! I don't know if I've ever seen a place like this outside of a major city before, so this is another find that gets a bump in the stars because in this area it is best you can get. Definitely come try it out, it is well worth it and you won't be disappointed.

    Box o bbq roast pork! Added to fried rice for a yummy meal.

    I ordered from Woodpile BBQ through a delivery service, so I can only comment on my food order. I…read morewanted to try both the pork and brisket, so I decided on the two meat combination. Like I said, I ordered the BBQ pork and Brisket (they allow you to specifiy the type of Brisket you want [flat, ends, etc]). The meal includes two sides...I chose the sweet mash and corn bread. I also chose sweet BBQ sauce from the given choices - also incuded. The BBQ overall is very tasty. Being my first order from Woodpile, I wanted to try it plain and I wasn't disappointed. The meat was smoky and well-seasoned. The portions were smaller than I expected,but that may vary in-person. The pulled pork was tender and juicy. The Brisket could have been a bit more tender and the portion was mostly flats and some shredded. The sweet mash had the smooth consistency and taste of sweet potato pie filling. I prefer it a bit chunkier, but it was so tasty, I really didn't mind much. The cornbread was moist and flavorful. While my order wasn't absolutely perfect, the food was tasty and satisfying.

    I'm honestly surprised I've never written a review for Woodpile BBQ because I've been coming here…read morefor a while--and they never disappoint. This place is a total Clawson gem. I met up with a friend here for dinner on Opening Day, and it was such a beautiful day out, which made the experience even better. I went with the pulled pork BBQ sandwich and a side of baked beans, and wow--so delicious. Their mac & cheese has always been one of my favorites, and you really can't go wrong with their ribs either. Everything is consistently flavorful and done right. One of the things I love about Woodpile is the vibe. They've got picnic tables outside where you can relax, hang out, and enjoy the weather, plus a covered indoor area that's really cool and comfortable as well. Whether you're dining inside or out, it's just a great spot to kick back and enjoy some amazing BBQ. Fantastic food, great atmosphere, and a place I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already.

The staff of both establishments are friendly and polite. I recommend going on a Wednesday, which is when BBQ tacos are a special. I've tried 3 of those, most of the meats, and all the sides. The tacos I've had are beef brisket, pig belly burnt ends, and pulled pork. Of those, the burnt ends taco was the best, but all 3 were great. If you came here just for the tacos, I wouldn't blame you at all. As for the meats, I truthfully don't have a favorite, because they were all that good. The ribs were juicy and tender. The brisket looked and tasted just right. I didn't even need a knife to cut it. The meatloaf was unlike any I've ever had. It was incredibly tender and had a great, smoky flavor. Although pastrami is beef, it tasted like a very well seasoned ham. Most places I've gotten burnt ends from dry them out, but that is not the case here whatsoever. The pulled pork was standard compared to the rest of the meats, but still better than average. None of the sides disappoint. The beans appear runny, but were delicious. The mac had a generous amount of cheese, and wasn't dry either. I've only had collard greens a couple times, but I found it enjoyable. The potatoes were delightful, but what took them to the next level was the toum it was served with. Toum is a Lebanese garlic sauce. The slaw was creamy and flavorful. Blueberry cornbread is something I've never seen on a BBQ menu before. Both that and the pickles tasted as they were advertised. Smoked Lotus blew me away, and I'll even go as far as saying it's my new favorite, local spot for BBQ. Even the pricing is fair, especially for the quality you're getting. If you love BBQ and haven't been here yet, you're missing out.
