About Ace King Bbq

Ace King BBQ is a lively restaurant located in a big plaza with plenty of parking space. It is often busy on weekend nights, but weekdays tend to be quieter. The restaurant has a fun atmosphere with neon lights and 2000 Chinese pop music playing, creating a lively vibe. The food is consistently good, especially the skewers which are very meaty and cooked to perfection with the right amount of spice. Popular dishes include beef, enoki mushroom wrapped in bacon, chicken skin, rice roll, A Choy, and chives. Other tasty options are pork with cucumber, boneless chicken feet, and baked scallop. The skewers are not overly greasy and have a solid flavor, although some reviews mention the cumin-fennel flavor could be more prominent and that the skewers could use a touch more salt. Food is ordered via QR code, making the process easy and quick, and the food comes out fast. The restaurant’s playlist features techno and 2000s EDM, adding to the energetic atmosphere. Portions are generous, and the quality meats make it a great choice for Chinese skewers in the Bay Area.

Despite the vibrant environment, ventilation is not ideal; the dining area can smell very smokey, and the kitchen appears quite smoky. For those who dislike strong smoke aroma, this might be a downside. Customers can join the waitlist by scanning a QR code located at the cash register or via MiniPass to avoid long waits. Overall, Ace King BBQ offers delicious food, decent service, and a lively setting that keeps guests coming back.
