Ace King Bbq — Restaurant in Newark

I believe this place tried to scam me on Doordash by ordering almost $300 worth of food on my account. I live nowhere near Newark, never heard of this place before.

I have text confirmation setup, and I got a text randomly to put in the code to confirm my order. When I look to see what the order is, it looks like almost everything on the menu in an order from "Ace King BBQ." I thought it was just a case of my password was leaked and someone was trying to buy a ton of food, BUT the address set in my account is set to THEIR address.

So not only did they think it was a neat idea to login to someone's random Doordash account, but place an order for their own food, (I assume) proceed to not make it, then keep the money without losing product because it's supposed to be picked up by them. I have since changed my account info, but unless they can prove they didn't just try to scam me, this review is...

Update 2025: I finally had time to eat here again. it has definitely changed! It's now bigger and more "bar/bbq" themed than a cafe. Food was again excellent!

Staff members - these guys were super cool. Cooked food was delivered by the lady that cooked it. They also brought a small spin wheel to win free food. I got 2 chicken skin skewers! Definitely one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in this area.

I love this place and there used to be a couple of guys who worked there that I've been cool with. But when they are not there, it seems like I get somewhat of a "I'm not important" service. Not all the time, but sometimes.

But I do love their tofu skewers and they are super cheap!!! The spices are done right. The other foods I had were also...

Ace King is consistently so good. This place has been around for many years and has undergone several renovations, and you can tell the owners put a lot of effort into giving the interior the fun vibe it has today with all the neon signs. The food always comes out super quickly, and they have some really interesting options. Our favorites are usually the tripe, the thin tofu strips, the bacon enoki rolls, and the cucumber salad with beancurd strips. The spice can be adjusted if you're not a fan of spicy, but personally I think the flavor profile is best the original way. The servers are generally very helpful and fast too. I also like that they stay open late, and I hope they're going to be around for...
