50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Newark

“Haven’t been back in a while, and wow — they’ve added so many new items!

The grilled honeycomb tripe, beef tendon, and pork intestine were all outstanding — perfectly grilled, full of flavor, and not greasy at all. You can really taste that authentic Chinese BBQ seasoning.

Don’t miss the signature Mala Mao Cai 🍺 and the spicy tripe (香辣涮肚) — both are absolute must-orders and pair amazingly well with the skewers.

This place keeps getting better every time I come back. If you’re craving real Chinese street-style BBQ, this is the spot!“

“I just had lunch here with my mom, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much since we eat Korean food at home every day. But I have to say, this was the most memorable Korean restaurant experience we’ve had in a really long time.

The food was done right, and I could truly taste the effort put into every dish. The banchan was perfectly seasoned, cooked to the right texture, fresh, incredibly balanced, and so generous. I had the kimchi tofu soup and the pork belly combo. Again, both dishes tasted exactly like what they should have tasted like, not masked by intense or unnecessary flavors, but balanced and pleasant.

I don’t remember the last time I enjoyed every single banchan and dish that was served on the table. I used to find myself driving from Fremont down to Santa Clara for my fill of soondubu, but there is really no need anymore. This place exceeded all expectations, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for good, authentic Korean food.“

“I ordered the creme brulee online for pick up. I came in and it was already ready but then I wondered why it looked different. I was just going to go with it anyway but they called me few mins later to say that it was the wrong one and they fixed it for me and even brought it outside to my car. Thank you! Appreciate it a lot“

“Had the brisket sandwhich based on a recommendation. Not bad. Fries and slaw good too. Glass of soda was huge. we'll eat it again, maybe try dinner.“

“Yo, just hit up this spot the other day and gotta say, it was pretty solid. First off, the service was quick – like, I ordered on my phone and bam, food was ready before I even knew it. That's clutch.

They also got this cool little fish tank and some chill lighting that kinda sets a nice mood, you know? Not super fancy, but definitely adds to the vibe.

Now, the food itself was tasty, no doubt. Just a heads-up, it was maybe a tad on the salty side for my taste. And one other thing – they use bamboo skewers instead of the metal ones. Wasn't a big deal or anything, just something I noticed.

Overall though, I had a good experience. Quick, easy, and the place has a cool, laid-back feel. Would def check it out again.“

“Tried meat only, brisket, tri-tip, and pulled pork since on keto diet right now. Brisket was tasty & tender with a good amount of smoke on it, just how I like it. What's the point of bbq if you can't really taste that the meat was smoked? Also enjoyed the tri-tip & pork. When I am in the area and have a hankering for great BBQ, which is often, I'll be back“

“There general cook of the meat was solid. Smokiness and tenderness was spot on. Depending on your preferences the execution on the protein was top notch. However I felt the bbq sauce (medium spice) was very average. If this was better I would have given it five stars.“

“It’s that time of the year that you count on seeing us. We pick up our sides and gravy every year. Some how a pie always seems to make it in the bag to go Happy Holidays from the Guzman’s“

“This place is amazing! The spare ribs are bbq'ed right in front of you along with all of the other meats. The owners are kind and very personable. :) I went here two days in a row. Delish!“

“Best place to kau kau Hawaiian 🌺 Food“

“This restaurant is very 67, the staff is so tuff and sigma. I got served 41 mangoes with mustard. Diddy and Epstein was here with Mason server the table. They ordered Adrian’s effoc with 67 mangoes. Highly recommend this tuff ahh restaurant.“

“Chris and his team put out some of the best barbecue I’ve ever tasted follow their page to get updated on where they will be usually at Bay hill Foods in Hayward.👍❤️“

“Ribs are the best, falling off the bones and the fresh hot bread“

“the best brunch buffet In Bay area. amazing kitchen. 10 stars“

“It is so great to find that hayward finally has some good Chinese bbq! I no longer have to drive far when I crave for some roasted duck! And that was exactly what I ordered today. It is fresh with good flavor. You know it’s a legit Chinese roasted duck when you can taste the star anise! I will definitely return to try the other items! Pro tip - parking can be terrible, so just go further down the lot towards auto zone. There’s always plenty of parking there.“

“Excellent food, excellent taste reasonable price“

“Michelle was great, she let us try the peach cobbler and a few sides. Everything was delicious! The food reminds me of home back in Texas!“

“Affordable, authentic Pinoy BBQ that truly hits the spot! The food tastes just like home! From the smoky skewers to the savory rice dishes, everything’s cooked with love. The Friday night live entertainment adds such a fun, festive vibe! You’ll feel like you’re back at a Filipino family gathering with music, laughter, and good food all around. A perfect spot to unwind, eat well, and feel the warmth of home away from home. Highly recommend! 🇵🇭🔥🎶“

“Friendly and helpful staff, great environment, attentive. my first time having Caribbean food and got the jerk chicken, the extra sauce is highly recommended for the extra kick.“

“Love their Kalua Pork & Cabbage“

“Good food nice service nothing but the best“

“Great food. I loved the pancit, but they were out of Adobe.“

“Food can be a bit inconsistent at times, but their service is always good, and they will even remake food for you if the food tastes a bit off - maybe stay away from cold noodles. Their banchan is usually very good - but can be a little off when they are too busy to control their quality. Despite this, I will always come back because they offer great Korean comfort food. 😊 best japchae, galbi ddeokbokki, sulungtang in town.“

“The mac and cheese is the best, hands down! The brisket sammy is really good too.“

“Interesting BBQ joint. Came here as a large party and took the entire restaurant and indoor seating area. Roughly 100 people. The grills on the table were warming trays and the skewers were brought to the table fully cooked. It's definitely an experience and has traditional Chinese street vendor BBQ vibes although the quality of the ingredients is average. They do have some unique prepared dishes which I enjoyed from the vermicelli garlic scallops and oysters that were super tasty.“

“The self-service barbecue was a great experience with fresh ingredients and a fun atmosphere. The food was delicious and easy to prepare. Special thanks to the servers **Rico** and **Doony**—they were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, which made the whole experience even better.“

“Bob Sang Restaurant is a hidden gem near the Tesla plant in Fremont. So far, I've tried the Galbitang, Kimchi Jigae, Bulgogi, Spicy Pork, and the latest is Seoul Style Bulgogi – really great with very tender marinated beef – tasty!
Very friendly service with the small side dishes happily refilled. This restaurant has found its way into my list of regulars.“

“The Korean fried chicken was delicious. The staff was a big help. They helped me pick out a good bottle of cold sake.“

“We ended up here tonight after a bad experience at Chuck E Cheese in the center next door. The service was quick and the food very tasty. We decided to order more for the folks at home.“

“All right, I had some fresh brewed Italian coffee, which was crazy good and then ordered a bagel breakfast sandwich with bacon and avocado and it was amazing. The one thing that’s notable is everybody that I saw on their way out said see you later Pearl, and she replied to each one by name. That’s OG right there.
Would highly recommend‼️

Great little vibe there.
Thanks Pearl, see you next time.“

“The soondubu is DELICIOUS. Great flavor, spicy, and most importantly, unlimited rice and ban chan refills upon request. The price is a bit steep for soup ($20+) but the quality is worth it, given Bay Area food prices. Their other dishes are yummy too.“

“Second location I've been to of this chain and overall it was solid.
Had their seafood combo with chicken, while nothing was stand out amongst the three, all where pretty good.

Their chicken katsu musubi while pricy was great. Their mac salad while decent was a bit loose.

Pricing is pretty in line as well so would recommend.“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“The food was great, ambiance was very nice as well as the service . James K was a phenomenal server and even cooked our food for us when he didn’t have to, he explained the menu clearly especially since it was our first time there and gave a brief description of the meats we were eating. 10/10 highly recommend and will be back again!“

“Still the best Filipino food in the bay area. I still love the grill pork tocino and the pinakbet can go wrong with the Java rice. There a lot more to choose from the menu like the combo meals. The place is small you might have to wait to be seated but worth the wait . It's definitely a must try.“

“I’ll keep coming back for those chicken katsu 💯“

“Great people and good food.“

“This is a nice Thai BBQ place. We got Phad See-Ew with chicken, Chef's Special Seafood Combo Plate which came with Shrimps, scallops, mussels, squid. Fried shrimp & fried calamari, with a chicken fried rice. Everything was good except I felt the fried calamari and fried shrimp had to much breading on them we ended taking some of the breading off. Overall everything had good flavor, also the prices listed online are not the correct prices in store.“

“10/10 — Absolutely Incredible!

We stopped at LL Hawaiian and WOW… this place is something special! We ordered the combo plate where you can choose two proteins, and we went with half beef and half shrimp. Both were AMAZING — the shrimp was perfectly crunchy and the beef was packed with flavor.

We also got the 3 musubi mix (one katsu, one spam, one BBQ chicken) and every single one was delicious. We added a side of katsu and the portions were HUGE — two big eaters couldn’t even finish it. Total bang for your buck!

The sauce was incredible, the sides (mac, rice, and salad) were on point, and everything tasted super fresh.

10/10 would recommend!!! We would honestly make the trip out here again just for this restaurant. A new favorite for sure! 🌺🍤🍛“

“We love coming here as a family. The staff are very kid-friendly. The food is good, although the traditional sushi are better than that modern ones. Their traditional sushi and sashimi are very good.Our kids ask to go to Satomi all the time!“

“Super Pot in Mountain View is one of those spots the boys are always down to wait for. We pulled up knowing there’d probably be a line, and sure enough, we waited about 15 to 20 minutes. Honestly, it never feels that long because you already know it’s going to hit. Once we were seated, ordering through the QR code was stupid easy. No flagging anyone down, no confusion. You just tap what you want and it starts rolling out. And when I say fast, I mean fast. Our first round came out in about 2 to 4 minutes. That kind of turnaround makes a huge difference when you’re starving.

The staff is on it too. They were attentive the whole time and swapped out the BBQ grill the second it started getting too charred. That’s clutch because nobody wants burnt flavor ruining good meat. The sauce combinations are fire. I tried the peanut butter dip and low key thought it would be weird, but it actually worked. Sweet, savory, and perfect with the grilled meats.

And the fact that dessert is included in the price? Say less. For the quality, speed, and overall vibe, it’s a solid deal. Super Pot is one of those dependable spots where you can catch up with the boys, eat heavy, and leave satisfied without feeling like you overpaid. Always a good move.“

“I love this Korean Restaurant, Because I love this place!“

“Loved all the protein available- chicken, beef, and lamb. I had mahi fish cassava fries, lamb curry 🤤, and cassava cake! Wife had Rourou w/ tortillas for the vegans. Wait was fair 10-20mins considering it was a busy day. Definitely recommend 🤙“

“This is the best tasting and best value Hawaiian BBQ around! They actually season the food so many NorCal folk may find it too flavorful. This has become one of my go-to spots after a long day at work under toxic Asian management. Being able to binge eat myself into a comatose state for cheap has brought me great comfort in this economy.“

“Some of the best “mom and pop” dim sum and Chinese bbq I’ve had in the bay. Everything came in gigantic portions and was amazing. The value was there. We were able to spread out a single meal of about $30 into 3-4 different meals.

What we ordered:
- roast pork and duck bbq with fried rice
- (2) shumai
- (1) crazy shrimp (baseball sized shrimp balls)
- (1) shrimp rice roll.“

“Tried this restaurant for the first time! Foods are so good...highly recommend this Korean restaurant�“

“My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our meal here. we got the kalbi meal set and it was so delicious. the waitressses were so friendly and attentive. loved it! will definitely be recommending this spot to anyone who loves homemade korean food“

“I love this place so much. The staff is amazing. The choices of meat are fantastic. I always enjoy my time here. I highly recommend this place!

Every time I come I always have to have the beef belly and or the beef tongue. Though, everything on the menu is delicious.

The Crepe with apricot sauce is also delicious, and I’m not even a fan of apricots“

“Randomly saw this place and was on the way back home so dropped by for their BBQ mixed plate.

Overall their portions are larger then any Hawaiian BBQ I've been too but they are a couple bucks more as well.

Chicken was great but their beef was a bit unseasoned. It was fine with the sauce but by itself was pretty mid. Mac salad was also decent.

Overall not a bad try but again big portions and also a bit more pricy. Parking is nonexistent as well.“

“The food is delicious. Carry out!“
