Kau Kau Restaurant, known as one of the best BBQ places in Seattle, offers a variety of dishes at affordable prices. The roast duck, priced at $8 for a quarter portion, has crispy skin and tender meat, but lacks sweet and sour plum sauce. The green onion and ginger chicken, also $8 for half a portion, is overly salty and not recommended. The pork BBQ triple set, priced at $12, includes pork ribs, barbecued pork, and crispy pork, which have decent seasoning and texture, but smaller portions compared to the chicken. Customers often praise the flavorful BBQ pork and roasted duck, which are popular highlights. The seafood stir-fry was found to be too salty for some diners. The restaurant has ample space for sit-down dining, and service at the front is good, though there can be a wait due to staffing issues. Recent reviews mention large portions of veggie dishes like stir-fried bak choy and Chinese broccoli, and note the atmosphere is friendly. Prices have increased, especially after Covid, making takeout less economical for some. Despite the inconsistent food quality in the past, many now find the food delicious and the portions generous, which keeps it a popular spot for quick, affordable meals, especially during Chinatown visits.
