Super friendly and some of the best smoked meat we’ve had outside of Texas. The manager was super accommodating of my gluten and dairy allergy and made sure to change gloves!
Top tier - try all the dishes!
Super cute place with a really cool style. I got the cucumber salad and the chongqing noodles and it was amazing! They give you really good portions too

KAOKAO Grill is a fast-casual restaurant known for serving fantastic food with great aromatics and flavor. Their chicken and chickpea dish, along with the char siu pork, have received high praise for the perfectly moist chicken and sticky, sweet, fatty, and meaty BBQ pork. The char siu is celebrated for its tender, clean, and flavorful qualities, with some customers calling it out of this world. The setup may appear sparse, but the decoration is cute, and the staff are friendly and super kind, taking time to chat with guests. Vegetarian options include a cucumber salad that has received mixed reviews, with some finding the spicy and numbing version to be the best they have had in the US. Although some feel the eggplant salad has a strong star anise aroma, others enjoy the variety of flavors. Despite being slightly expensive, the satisfying meals offer good value, especially with cash discounts. Many recommend trying both the pork and chicken dishes, which are cooked perfectly—tender and juicy. While some believe the char siu pork plate is decent but not phenomenal, others consider the combination of American-style barbecue with Asian elements to be excellent. The casual vibe makes it a great neighborhood restaurant for everyday eats, with customers expressing eagerness to return.
