The duck rice was bomb and good portions for the price
I came to write a review just about the wonton noodle soup. I didn't have much of the bbq since I was so obsessed with the noodle soup but I'm sure it was delicious since my fiancé cleaned the plate. Man...has it been a while since I've had a good wonton noodle soup! The broth was light but flavorful and the wontons were plump and juicy - just look at the size of the shrimp in that thing! There was a place in Sunset that had the best wonton noodles but shut down after the pandemic......read full review

S & J BBQ is a popular takeout joint known for its delectable BBQ and Peking duck. While the quality of the wasabi chicken has reportedly declined due to a change in the recipe, the restaurant's other offerings remain impressive.
The BBQ duck and pork are praised for their tender and flavorful meat, while the wonton noodle soup and dumplings are described as decent. Customers appreciate the separate storage of the soup and noodles, ensuring the dish doesn't become mushy when taken home.
The star of the menu is undoubtedly the Peking duck, which is both substantial and affordable. A whole duck, costing $40, can provide up to four meals, making it a great value. The meat is tender and crispy, and the accompanying sauces add a perfect balance of salty, umami, and sweet flavors.
Despite not being as authentic as what one might find in mainland China, S & J BBQ's BBQ and Peking duck are considered among the best in the East Bay. The quick turnaround time, with orders ready in just 10 minutes, makes it a convenient and delicious option for a takeout meal.
