King Charcoal BBQ: Reviews & Ratings
good BBQ Charcoal, I love the food, I love the lamb belly, and a casual skewers spot grilled with charcoal. so delicious. I will come back to take all my family to eat here again.
Got to invited to a family dinner by my cousin. We sat outside or in the back of the restaurant inside a huge pergola/tent. The meats (beef, pork, chicken, and lamb) were fresh and they have lots of side dishes such as jellyfish, clams, periwinkles, corns, and more. We also got the large Saborro beer pitcher. This place opens late until 2AM, so best for late night bites with a group of friends. The only downsides were that the parking lot is small and you may have to park on the street. There were some cigarette smokers near us and we had to tell them to get further away. Glad they did so and did not ruin our nice dinner. Give this place a try!
I first came here in...probably sometime in 2017, and they seemed to have just opened, and didn't have a liquor license yet. Have been there a handful of times since, and their lamb skewers are amazing. We will come here and order like 60 skewers. Always a good time.
The food was savory and delicious! Nothing compliments it better than a cold xingtao and these delicacies on a hot Summer night it definitely hit the spot! I might have been lost in translation a few times but I found my way! I also got the garlic oyster but my big back ass gulped it down! It was fire though can't wait to try this place again!
If you're looking for a casual skewers spot grilled with charcoal, King Charcoal is a good BBQ option! Their outdoor patio is more spacious, as there's only a few tables indoors. For a group of 4, we ordered lamb, lamb belly, cattle, chicken gizzard, pork belly, oysters with garlic, Taiwan sausages, potato slices, and cucumber salad. They came out fast and fresh. The lamb selections are all good! Their skewers are flavorful with tasty seasoning. The oysters are a must get. The gizzard was too dry. The pork belly was juicy but fatty. An authentic skewer place!
The meat options were really good and they appetizer options were great. My favorite was the chicken wings! Our server checked on us often and the meat came out quickly. It's a big and dim place so perfect if you have a large group but keep in mind they only have one grill per table. Definitely recommend in the area.
This is my go to place in Monterey Park. Covered outdoor seating in the back. Grill sits on the table and you can cook or have the kitchen grill up some tender large portions of MEAT! Great cuts of steak and some the most tender meat you can sink your teeth in! Words are not enough.
