My first review-BBQ King House

At first glance you may thing BBQ king is a place for good greasy ribs and french fries. But in reality this is a Chinese restaurant serving up some of the best Peking duck and princess chicken in all of Chicagos Chinatown. Most restaurants claim to have the best duck and chicken but this place can really take the crown.

When you first walk in, the first thing you will notice is that it is small. So ambiance is not in the picture. But what you will see is nice freshly roasted ducks hanging up with juices and fat dripping from them. The crispy skin inviting you to take a deep bite into culinary sin. Yes, the thought of this making me feel thing a normal person shouldn't feel for food.

They also serve crispy chicken which is seasoned with spices I cannot put my finger on just yet butis so good you may not want to brush your teeth just so you could continue to relish the taste. I'm being totally honest when I say that. They also serve traditional chinese fare but to be honest you won't even think about ordering the regular stuff once you get a taste of the roated meat.

What makes this place a deal is that it is very cheap. Two people can eat a whole duck with all the trimming for less than $20 dollars. But if you go please go early. This place is small but it gets packed. But it will be worth it when you go. BBQ get my vote for peking duck in all of Chicago.
