I've visited this restaurant twice this past few months, and each time it's a pleasant surprise! The owners are incredibly friendly, the service is quick, and roast duck and roast pork are worth dying for. In a city overloaded with Chinese cuisine, this place definitely has its reasons to call itself 'King'.
This hidden bbq gem is down a side street and little known but calling all bbq and meat lovers this is the one stop restaurant in town all meat is done on site and the bbq pork and crispy pork is to die for!!!!! The duck is another favorite of mine and with a extensive menu there will be something for all !!! Iβm a chef and meat lover and this is the best gem in town
Well if you read the majority of the comments in here you'll probably run away from BBQ King but I went there for lunch today with a work colleague. It is not that bad! I reckon they have one of the best if not the best roast duck in town. I had the double roast duck + roast pork on rice while my colleague had the standard roast duck - they are both amazing, especially the roast duck. Will definitely come back again for more πππ
I've been going here for around 10 years. Your typical Chinese/Hong-Kong BBQ joint - with one difference: they make THE best Chicken & Salted Fish Fried Rice. If this is your dish at other Chinese restaurants, you have to try it at this place. The lady behind the counter is very friendly too and they have a good selection of soft drinks and Asian drinks in the fridge.
You had me at Fried Rice
I'm a great fan of healthy helpings of rice. Especially when the meat is not skimped on.
Always met with tea and broth to enjoy.
Food is always super fast.
Was in the area so just popped in for the choice combination (3) of bbq on rice which I always get roast duck, crispy and bbq pork. It's in the same league as what you can get anywhere in town but not bad. Service and ambience is standard.
11 years ago we were invited for lunch after church and have been enjoying their food at least once a month ever since! Eventually met owner and know staff as well.
My favourite is the combination Soy Chicken/Crispy Pork on rice plus.... there's always a plus..deep fried squid tentacles with garlic and chili ( a must try ). The rest of the Family would either settle for combination fried noodles or bbq pork on rice, yummy choices.
For $13 per order ( Fried Squid is cheaper I think) and servings are generous, enough to satisfy one. I always look forward to the starter soup specially winter which is just a broth that was probably boiling for the last 11 years as well. yumm!!!!!
Tasty food and friendly service. Free pot of tea and a bowl of porkbone stew with every meal! Did not expect that when they brought them out soon as I sat down I mean this is just a fast food restaurant afterall! Portions are huge - I was already full and had about half leftover. I asked them to put less salt in my noodles and they were like sure no problem. And the lady at the checkout was so nice when I asked if I could have a doggy bag for my leftovers she was like yes of course! Just so friendly! A meal for 2 only about $25.
A good BBQ Restaurant. The range of items on the menu was good. the staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. I would definitely go again.
Nice place for Chinese comfort food. Free soup and Chinese tea given for lunch. Enjoyed myself and good value
The chinese BBQ dishes here are one of the better ones in CBD.
The portion of meat which seems to have reduced during my recent visits can hopefully be improved.
One of the nicer BBQ pork and Roast duck rice. Free soup and Chinese tea. Good bright atmosphere and friendly boss. Would be better if the chilli sauce had more ingredients in it rather than the oil. Always patronise when in Auckland. ππ»ππ»ππ»
BBQ King serves authentic hong Kong style Deli food with a wide selection of different stir fry with rice options. Complimentary soup is tasty and served pipping hot and they are happy to refill the soup should you ask! The roast duck is tender and crispy pork extremely tasty. The black pepper Chix over rice is tasty and very reminiscent of ordering from a hong kong kar kar lok. Won't go wrong trying this place out!
A nice Chinese restaurant close to our hotel. The restaurant has open clean see through kitchen. They specialize in Chinese bbq. The price was very reasonable and the meal come with free hot tea and soup.
I saw the laksa on the menu and had to try it. I had the roast duck laksa. They gave like almost half a duck in the laksa. The duck was juicy, savory and flavorful. My brother had the 3 meat bbq plate with rice. The pork was savory. The charsui with just the right amount of sweetness.
If you are in this part of the world make sure to stop by and try this place.
I like the food. The BBQ was nice, fujian fried rice on point for me.
Our U12 rugby team visiting from Chch had dinner here tonight. I booked online having never been there, but I liked the menu. Tim was fantastic to deal with, he created a menu just for us. The kids and adults loved all of the food, They had a very enjoyable time. Highly recommend!
One of the best place in the CBD for Chinese food. The owners are really friendly and you get a bowl of soup and Chinese tea as soon as you sit down. My favorites are the roast duck and roast pork with rice. Another gem is the roast duck laksa noodle (photo below) which is to die for and possibly the only restaurant in NZ to offer this combination! And speaking as a Malaysian living in NZ, that laksa broth is authentic! Highly recommended.
BBQ King is an amazing experience. Food was 10/10. It is desperately needing customers to return again after Covid. Locals come and support this restaurant, it is definitely worth saving. Thanks for an amazing meal and complimentary soup.
5 stars. This place is a dying breed of old Cantonese cuisine. Great tasting food, wok hei, and the servings sizes are generous. Rare to see this in a capital cities CBD. As a Cantonese that eats Cantonese food daily - this place is legit and great. Must try!
