Realised that having gone here for years I haven 't ever actually reviewed it. Well I have, on a blog, but that was some years ago, so it 's time to have another try.<br/ <br/ First of all let 's address a few things. If your idea of a great restaurant depends on a delightful ambience with happy smiling waiting staff attending your every need then you will be puzzled by BBQ City.<br/ <br/ The style is 'delaminex ' rather than 'deluxe ' and the service is, shall we say, to the point. They come to the table, you say what you want. They go away and then bring back your food. They aren 't there for conversation or pleasantries. They have a job. They do it.<br/ <br/ The place isn 't a 'shall we l...
Finally got the chance to go to chinatown and after peeping at few restaurants along the way finally we got our eyes on this mouth watering BBQ meats that hanging and calling us to eat them. Starving and tired, we ordered: <br/ 1. Combination bbq rice 4/5: all the meats (roast duck, crispy roast pork and bbq pork) were very delicious. They were perfectly cooked and none of them were dry. <br/ 2. Crispy roast pork 5/5: superbbbbb....skin were crispy, meat moist and not overcooked <br/ 3. Sweet and sour pork with rice 4/5: Love this one too. Yummy battered pork pieces with perfect sweet sour sauce. It's typical Cantonese style dish. <br/ 4. Stir fry mix vegs 4/5: everything on that plate were...
Most of the food is pretty simple and basic, and each dish does not a have a lot of components. I tried 2 dishes so far crispy chicken and rice which came with a large proportion of chicken, a huge mountain of rice that covered the whole dinner plate, and a bit of steamed box choy. I also tried the roasted duck noodle soup and as the name suggests, the dish just had the roasted duck and some noodles in a clear broth, with not much else.<br/ <br/ That being said, the quality of the food is above average, especially considering its cheap prices. Even though my descriptions of the dishes I had might sound too basic, the crispy chicken and the roasted duck were exceptional and so delicious that...
True rating is probably a 3 but they get a 4 because I 've been going there for years and it 's a bit of a Chinatown institution for me. Food is big and cheap and tasty enough to eat with gusto. Service is actually okay although over the years it 's been a bit mixed.dont expect overly attentive service. It 's a fast paced environment. Cleninless and decor is in keeping with that old school chinatown vibe before 'fitouts ' became a thing. I don 't mind it at this price point and think it adds character. Pan fried dumplings and vegetarian laksa was the go for me but not at the same time as serves are huuugggggeee. Allow at least 20/25 min for pantries dumpies.

Now straight up, this review is not based on the service, or the decor, although come here enough times, and you’ll find this contributes to the charm.This review is based on the scale of cheap and fast Chinese restaurants. The sort where the food comes out in strange orders, and the tattered and stained menu hasn’t changed in years.It hasn’t changed, because why should it? The food portions are generous, the flavours delicious, and the soy sauce plentiful. The shallot cakes are a must.We have been loyal customers to BBQ City for years, and regularly return for our quota of salt, MSG and just plain delicious Chinese.
Went with the Hubby on a date.<br/ I had the chicken with duck on rice.<br/ Hubby had the duck and crispy pork on rice.<br/ Both dishes were yummy, though the chicken was a little bit of a let down, but the temperature of the beer made up!!<br/ The price was good and food was tasty made for a lovely not so expensive date lunch.<br/
Good quick feed if in the mood for chinese loooove their hand made duck noodles, they also have great pan fried dumplings. Comes off pretty standard but best of its kind on gouger ive found overall. Fair prices for good food, staff are quick and hard working
Super reasonable, late night, delightful quantity, well lit up, always crowded, super fast service! Literally everything one can ask for of a restaurant! Also serves beers and other spirits! Nothing more to say I keep going regularly!
