Kim Tar B.B.Q. — Restaurant in San Jose

One of the best hole in the wall Chinese joint. Food is absolutely MSG delicious. If you want to eat healthy, I recommend you go elsewhere. But if you're up for good old-fashioned quick Chinese food, come here. Roast duck is good. Peking spare ribs is bomb, but it is recommended to eat it at the spot (instead of takeout) while it's hot and crispy. House fried rice...the glistening of the dish will call your name. Best of all, they have this sauteed spicy chili paste condiment that just compliments every bite. Downfall. Joint is small. Cash only; however, they do have an ATM. Service is a hit or miss, but if you speak their language, probably better than usual. Not going...

I've been coming here for more than 25 years, my go to is plain wonton soup with either BBQ pork over rice or fried pork chop over rice. No one does a fried pork chop better than here, crispy slightly salty/spicy (jalapenos) yet soft and tender never never dried out...perfect! House pickled veg and a ton of Jasmine rice. Try the fried pork intestines with plum sauce, it's like crispy butter....if that exists...and open late. Thanks Kim Tar for being around since...

One of the best Chinese BBQ spots in the Southbay and their aren't many. Good comforting good and the atmosphere and decor is the same as any Chinese BBQ place you would ever visit. Nothing fancy here, but we come for the food and not an art gallery.

Don't ever forget the plum sauce with your roast duck or you'll be missing out. Sauces and napkins are self serve.

Always hits the spot and fulfills...
