Smoke Queen Barbecue is a bustling restaurant that offers a unique twist on American BBQ, blending it with Asian flavors. The outdoor seating area provides a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for guests to enjoy a communal dining experience. While the restaurant can get crowded, the wait is worth it for the delicious food. The menu, curated by Chef Winnie, features a variety of mouthwatering dishes, including standouts like the panang curry brisket rice bowl and the kaya bread pudding.
The meats, such as the brisket and Pork Belly Siu Yuk, are juicy, savory, and full of flavor. Many customers have highlighted the crispy pork and char siu, noting their rich flavors, though opinions vary on the sweetness of the char siu. The sides, like the mapo tofu chili, mac and cheese, and dirty rice, complement the meats well, with the mac and cheese receiving particular praise. The banana pudding remains a must-try dessert, loved for its deliciousness.
The staff at Smoke Queen Barbecue, including the attentive owner, goes above and beyond to provide excellent service, ensuring a memorable dining experience. The restaurant's ambiance, with cute string lights, makes it a great spot for friends and family or even a date night. Smoke Queen Barbecue is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy good BBQ in a lively setting.
