This is a great, unassuming little BBQ joint. The food was excellent, we had ribs and chicken. The meat was tender and flavorful. The sauce is great, but subtle. Don't expect a faceful of vinegar or smoke. Same for the slaw -- delicious and subtle. Owner Bao and his daughter were friendly and the service was great.

Things that this restaurant does well: the ribs, specifically the char on the ribs. I think they excel in chicken/ribs as they are strongest menu items. Portion wise, they are good, and the flavor was well executed. Not the best I’ve ever had, but definitely meets your barbecue craving.This restaurant can work on a more friendly and clean bathroom, more availability of sauces to share in between tables, and a bit more attention to Customer Service. Nothing was incredibly wrong, but nothing was incredibly impressive.

Yelp rates it 4.6. Not sure where that came from? Food was average at best. When I go to a BBQ joint, I want to smell BBQ. I don't think the food is even prepped there. Disappointment.

Bao (owner) is a gentleman. Great food for a great price. Plus he is a tennis player and likes to chat about your interests. Get the pulled pork and a side of everything else. Delicious.

We've visited for lunch, had a rib and pulled pork meal with an extra side of potato salad and corn bread. Ribs were great, smokey, fall apart from the bone but still good bite, pulled pork was soft and juicy, sides were great, fresh and nicely complement whole meal. Staff is super friendly, really appreciate your effort and smile guys! interior is simple, could use some refresh, but it clean and has its charm, highly recommended, we'll return whenever we'll be in the area.Parking: Parking in front of the restaurant, plenty if space aroundKid-friendliness: Friendly staff, kids should find good options in menu

We had never tried this place, but Panera was out of bread and this was the back up option. It was around 7pm on a Thursday and we got the large rib plate and small pulled pork meal and it was more than enough for the two of us. The ribs were insanely good. They just melted. The baked beans were the best I've had in ages. 1000% would recommend these every time. I'm so glad we found this hole in the wall place. And side note: the two guys at the counter were super nice and awesome.

A really good value. Just a little hole-in-the-wall. I ordered a 3-piece rib dinner, which came with cole slaw, beans and a dinner roll for only about $13. Dinner was served almost instantly after I ordered. The ribs were quite good, but it was the BBQ sauce which was mild, that really made the meal great. I also appreciated the friendly service.

Excellent ribs. A little too much sauce for me, but that's just a personal preference.
Best authentic BBQ I've had here and I've canvassed everywhere from the South End of Seattle to Snohomish. Looks like a little hole in the wall, but a treasure trove of soulful goodness lives here. You can taste the love in every delicious mouthful. Portions are like your grandma sent home with you. At least two meals in the large combos. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND for lovers of the real deal!!!
Excellent barbecue sauce, tender ribs, everything delicious. Great service and helpful answering questions.

The half rack if pork ribs were plentiful and satisfying. It was balanced in meat, fat, sauce. Pulls clean of the bone and cuts with just a fork. Very friendly owner operator who cares..

It's not a barbecue. It is good enough grilled meat with bbq sauce. The meat was not smoked, pretty sure the ribs were par boiled. All that said, it was a good price, and flavorful for what it is (again, not actually bbq)Think bbq for kids.

I loaded a big bag to take home so my Texas friends could enjoy anotherround tomorrow.All the trimmins were excellent too. Corn bread,ears of corn w/ salt and real butter, very goodcole slaw and potato salad, and the baked beans wereabove average by far.Excellent value for the money to boot.Thanks Bao and Sid I really enjoyed the time there and the food Thank you very much!
