50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Duarte

“09/14/25
Had a group of 8 to try again. Roasted duck and BBQ pork 叉燒were savory. 雪菜鴨絲炆米 is not really recommended especially when you compare the roasted duck and the Duck Rice noodles (鴨絲炆米).
In general, still recommend you give it a try.

.....
Ordered Togo last time, portion, price and taste were decent. Dine in this time. It's full house due the small size of this restaurant. Ordered Hong Kong style minced beef rice with sunny side up on the top. A bit dried and disappointed. Another Eggplant with shredded pork and bamboo slices. Taste good . Of course, best match with rice. Additional $1.95 for the HK style lemon tea with refills which is my favorite. Why not.
Definitely I will go back and try something else.
You can tell they cook with passion.“

“It was soooo good and the bbq sauce delicious. I totally recommend this place. I will come back 😋🤗“

“Highly commendable service and absolutely stunning set menu! we went here for dinner last night for our Halloween date night! Their wagyu cuts are 100% top-grade and not just random "wagyu" that are below the marks. We tried their A5 and M9 meats, not to mention their salmon carpaccio that is to die for. Their sides are absolutely delicious and smart, one great example is their fried pork buns that is like a spin on soup dumplings. To top it off, you get premium ice cream in the end. Their salad is so good with yuzu and smokey salt, plus you get a chili mix too. They serve the meats fast plus your tablet menu is in front of you so you don't have to keep calling the staff to refill. I give them 9 stars! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

“I have also eaten at many barbecue restaurants. The ingredients in this barbecue restaurant are very fresh and taste good. Both meat and vegetables are grilled to perfection. The environment shows that the boss is very attentive and the service is very considerate. The price is reasonable and cost-effective. I recommend it to friends who like barbecue.“

“I went here for the first time on a Monday evening. The service was really good and on point on this day. Staff was always checking on us, always making sure our stove was clean or removing finished dishes. I got us the Deluxe meal. The spicy baby octopus was good. The gyōza dumplings and egg rolls were really good. They have sushi as well. Their menu can be accessed by QR code or you can ask for a physical menu.“

“Great service, and very good BBQ. Didn't get to try the beef ribs (only available day &sun), but the brisket and riblets are tender and juicy so so good 😁“

“We enjoyed my birthday dinner tonight at Jakes Roadhouse. The food is delicious and the friendly service was great.“

“Went here on a Saturday 5pm. No line. This is not a sit down and order place. Kind of like a cafeteria line setup. Anyway, ask the waiters anything, they will explain it all. Very friendly. I got the brisket sandwich, the wife got the salmon. The meat was definitely tops! The regular coleslaw was also great. They have several types of sauces and we liked them all. The wife liked her meal with beans and macaroni cheese. Overall the meat can't be beat. Cost us close to $50 with one soda. Pricey but we saw several families and other groups. Again, the meat makes it all worth it.“

“When you want the best Crispy Chicken you've ever eaten, Top Restaurant is your answer. They have an extensive Asian menu with authentic home recipes. All items are made fresh, as you order. To work here, you must be a family member. They guard their recipes and preparation techniques carefully. They take personal pride in every meal that they create.\n\nThese are a few of the meals that I like to order… mixed BBQ chicken katsu, teriyaki chicken, spam rice, fried rice, spring rolls, gyoza pork, beef and chicken. The hamburger and the cheeseburger are exceptional here.  The menu is so varied that I think I could eat here everyday for 6 months without repeating a dish! \n\nLocated just east of Allen Avenue, in a small shopping area. The parking lot is always available. I am usually able to park right in front of the restaurant. I like to call ahead and order. They are extremely busy some days and times. \n\nI enjoy supporting this great family enterprise!“

“They used a heart-shaped rainbow sticker to attach a receipt to some old man's bag and he had an absolute epic meltdown on facebook. 5 out of 5 stars. Keep up the good work.“

“Absolutely delicious! I decided to try this place today and I'm immediately reviewing to get people to support this local gem. I had the tofu vegetable combo plate and it was tasty as hell. The tofu was soft, the veggies had the perfect bite, and the brown sauce was well seasoned. The entire dish was warm and light enough that I almost cleaned my plate despite it being so satisfying. I'm happy I was able to bring some home for later and will be going back regularly now!“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“Great ihaw ihaw and crew are very friendly“

“The food is fantastic, the staff is friendly, welcoming and efficient. What's not to love?“

“Great selection! Very clean, tasted really good. So happy they are close by!“

“We had a wedding rehearsal dinner on Saturday July 2nd. Included Ribs, Chicken and Tri-Tip! Wow, did that go fast and I asked how was the food..... 5 stars especially the thin sliced Tri-Tip (made great sandwiches). Thank you Diane and crew. We will be back.“

“best pulled pork & barbecue chicken! it was just a bummer they ran out of ribs🙄 i will catch on next time.“

“Thank you very delicious Margarita and family“

“10/10 hands down the best BBQ!“

“Great AYCE hot pot spot. The broths have good flavor, ingredients are fresh, and the sauce bar gives you plenty of ways to mix things up. Service was friendly and everything came out quickly. Great place to relax and enjoy a meal with friends.“

“I've tried Hainan chicken all my life, and this one is special. Portions are very generous. The chicken is very tender and cooked to perfection. The rice is incredible even it's just rice. But they Cook the rice in a way that's not very greasy like other places. Kind of dry and tasty.
We also tried the potato noodles since it's highly rated with other reviews. We ended up taking to go since it was just too much food for 2 is us.
Be careful online shows Xin Wang restaurant but the actual sign in front says Ana Wang Hainan Chicken. But it is the same. Don't know why.
Not too many pictures here to take since they're all over online already. Anyhow, great food, simple dining experience. Nothing fancy. You definitely should give it a try.“

“Super awesome to see, South El Monte has so much Asian foods and they are all delicious. A lot of people in South El Monte love Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese cultures and so the businesses in the area thrive. I also enjoy getting Korean BBQ meats in the South El Monte City or a nice hot meal at the Daikokuya Japanese Ramen place on Garvey. I noticed that a lot of people in Korean Town over in Los Angeles were starting to purchase up commercial real estate and launch businesses in South El Monte. In a recent merger and acquisition of a major grocery store business chain in South El Monte, it had become Korean owned as well and started to add many awesome products such as canned boba drinks. South El Monte is one of the most vibrant, diverse, and sweet pockets of hidden gem Asian foods in California and the San Gabriel Valley. When I go to school on the East Coast, I really miss it.“

“The curry and masala are amazing at the Fullerton location! I will be back this week for lunch. Oh, and ordering online was so easy :) thank you!!“

“Flavorful & JuicyStopped over to pick up a little BBQ. Yum, yum.Tri tip, ribs and chicken.Yes, try the chicken it falls off the bone totally juicy and has an excellent flavor (tip: you don't need any sauce) it's great.Tri tip is juicy and you get good chunks.We got 2 sides mac n' cheese (thumb size noodles and plenty of cheese. Also a side of potatoe salad, its chunky with black olive pieces, egg pieces and quite creamy. I don't know the recipe but it's good and home made.Giant barrel smoker. They park at the cross streets of Francisquito blvd. and are off of Puente Ave. (Look past the O'Reilly Auto parts) Follow the smoky smell!“

“A very tasty Mongolian BBQ place, reasonably priced, good variety, and very good service in front of and behind the counter. Nothing fancy in decor, but clearly popular with the locals. The extras with the order (vs our MBBQ place back home) (egg rolls, won-tons, flatbread, orange slices) were a nice touch.

Would definitely come back here again if I were in the area.“

“The food is always Delicious!!! Staff is Great. Always Worth the Visit .“

“This has become my favorite Chinese BBQ place recently! Very authentic and their skewers are always fresh and fragant with their charcoal grilled fumes. Their grilled fish is one of my favorite dish as well, comes with sorted veggies in it, fish was very fresh.“

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“Shhh…hidden gem! This ayce kbbq restaurant is outstanding! I’ve been to many kbbq places over the years and Seoul BBQ is top notch. Everything came out quickly, including the fried potstickers, water refills, meat refills, and grill changes. It was a laid back atmosphere, not a bunch of announcements or loud music. It had a good vibe for talking and hanging out with friends. We enjoyed several rounds of meats from the A and B menus, multiple grill changes, some peach flavored rice wine, and a fun time with friends and family. The beef bulgogi and beef brisket were excellent; everyone else in the group also enjoyed several other cuts of meat including garlic pork belly, flying tiger beef, short rib, beef belly, and others. The parking lot was a bit rough so beware. Everyone that went into the restaurant seemed well dressed and happy to be there.

Parking: There is currently some barricaded construction which has blocked some of the parking spots (Dec 2024), making it difficult to find parking. There was also broken glass in one of the stalls which raised concern about cars being broken into recently. Turn on your car’s camera if you’ve got one.“

“Hands down, some of the best burgers (sliders) I have ever eaten and I am not easy to impress or write many reviews. After eating here I had to write one. I didn’t know what to think when walking up ‘in the alley,’ but the reviews were good so I thought I’d give them a shot. I am glad I did. I got The Hamburguesa and my wife got the Korean sweet and spicy pork. We swapped one to try out the other. Both were delicious. Fries were crispy and spicy mayo pushed them over the top. Oh, and the service was just as good. If you are on the fence and reading reviews, I hope this one helps you decide to go! Awesome experience! Thanks Borracho! We’ll be back for the wings next time!“

“it's a friendly place with alot of happy smiles, it's food is great! best Hawaiian food I've tasted in a while... u can usually catch the owner at the shop and is always willing to talk to u as if u are part of the family.“

“Happy Hour prices and all day long.“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

“I had delicious sushi here today for the first time in a while. All the staff were very friendly. The fish was fresh and tasted great. The tempura was perfectly crispy, and the salad dressing was excellent.

Also, having the Green Tea Honey Yuzu Tea with the meal made everything taste even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Don’t be misled by the old negative reviews, this restaurant is under new management, and the food is absolutely delicious! Truly a hidden gem in El Monte. Why drive to another city when you can enjoy amazing food right here?

I’ve tried the pork belly, which they sell by the slab, and honestly, it’s better than many places that roast an entire pig. The flavors are rich, perfectly cooked, and incredibly satisfying.

If you’re looking for fantastic food, great service, and a spot that locals need to know about, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Tasty food, like any other location.
Decent seating.
Cozy location.
Partial bench seating available.
A few high chair tables.
Good seat quantity.
Decent seat comfort.

I like their Hawaiian BBQ chicken!!!
The chicken katsu is good but I prefer the BBQ chicken.“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“It is a good Chinese cuisine restaurant. I have visited this restaurant, once, in the middle of 2024, after leaving my work. So, after reading good reviews, about this establishment, I thought to have my dinner. Oh boy, I was not disappointed. The meals, that I have ordered, were delicious. Furthermore, they were well made. At the same time, the waitress, who attended my table, was helpful, and attentive. I forgot to add that there was ample of space, to sit down, and enjoy a meal. Still, I cannot vouch, about the ability of free space, on Fridays, or during weekend. Nevertheless, the tables, themselves, were neat. Of course, I cannot forget to mention, the prices were not on the expensive side. So, if anyone is in City of Industry or La Puente area, I would recommend to stop by this establishment. The deliciousness of meals is worth the visit.“

“Delicious food & We love this place💞 We love this place for especial occasion with my family and friends & we always come back here. Fast order services and the employees are doing very good and friendly.“

“delicious food, great customer service, drinks are also great“

“Came here randomly for dinner agter walking around the mall and was met with great service. Our server Irene took our order and took great care of us. It was our first time here and she helped us cooked our meat perfectly.

We got a small beef combo and kimchi jiggae and it was very filling. We'll definitely be back. Thank you Irene and Billy for taking care of us and great service.“

“Popped in because its always time for meat. Loved tge atmosphere, and the language lessons in the bathroom. The food was great. The only downside was lack of my favorite banchan and the high prices of solutions. I'll be back.

With my own bottles. ;)“

“Good kbbq spot. Inside is simple and clean with tables and booths for seating. The classic ayce menu is good.

Service was ok. Kinda slow but staff is friendly. There's a small parking lot in back or street parking but you might have to walk a block or two.“

“Great place for Chinese food, cheap and large portions. They have a great lunch menu that is from $9.95 (comes with rice, soup and choice of entree). They are famous for their roasted meats (such as duck, pork). They have a vegetarian selection (vegetables, noodles), but some dish they it says vegetables there appears to be meat stock. Plenty of seating and the staff doesn't bother you while eating, come when you call them.

Vegetarian options: Check to make sure they do not use meat stock in fried veges etc.“

“Really, really good food. The pork ribs were amazing.“

“First time at Ono. Good food and good service. I will return.“

“All you can eat for $40👏🏽👏🏽“
