About GAO’s BBQ

GAO's BBQ is a lively and popular restaurant, often packed with customers, which speaks to the quality of the food. The atmosphere is super cozy with great vibes, described as a good hangout place with a late bar feeling and karaoke. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful, providing amazing service. The food comes out hot and flavorful, and the service is fast. Specific meals mentioned include small fatty lamb skewers, which are flavorful but small in size, garlic skewers that came mostly unpeeled, Dan Dan noodles labeled as "northern style" with a vinegary and mildly nutty flavor, and king eggplant, which was the highlight—soft with a smoky flavor and perfect seasoning. The food is averagely cheap and really good, authentic, and not too spicy or salty. The a la carte model allows ordering only what can be finished. The cost was slightly under that of AYCE skewers at another restaurant, and the happy hour with $1 lamb skewers and $2 waygu skewers is a draw. The place opens late, making it very convenient.
