BBQ King 88 皇上皇 — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Its bbq is good, however, you just have to be aware that you might not get what you pay for when they are running out of items. Long story short, I ordered a bbq chicken leg and duck plate, paid $15+. I received a bbq chicken leg and half portion of duck bones, which’s a huge disappointment. I showed it to the cashier and she said that it’s the back of the duck, therefore there’s no meat. She said she can’t do anything about it because it’s randomly picked. The lady who was in line before me told me that’s a lie because the BBQ duck was sold out, she bought the last one, therefore it’s not randomly picked. They sold the unwanted/left part to me to still make money out of it. I felt I was scammed, the cashier should told me that they sold out of bbq duck then I will order a different item or just order a bbq chicken leg, which’s $7. I paid additional $7 for a rack of bones. The food is good but the experience is bad, I will not go back to this...

I've been to this place several times since it's on the same level as the market I usually go to. The last couple of times were fine, the meat suited my taste. I did feel that the lady at the counter tried to upsell, but I didn't mind since it's part of doing business. If I don’t want something, I simply say no.

However, yesterday’s experience was disappointing. I went in to buy 1 lb of roasted pork. She cut and weighed it, then asked if 1.5 lbs was okay. Since she had already cut it, I agreed, I didn’t mind getting a little extra. But when I checked the receipt, I saw I was charged for 1.79 lbs. I let it go, thinking it was just a slight difference, and figured I had more meat anyway.

Today, when I opened the box, I found a lot of bones hidden underneath. Now, I feel like I was cheated. I’ve been understanding, but this crossed the line. This is the first time I’ve ever left a negative review...

BBQ King is famous in Chinatown and they also have a storefront in 88 Marketplace food court. The lunch combo comes with a cup of hot soup, help u digest your lunch so you don't really need to order a separate drink The bbq is a real deal. bbq pork is marinated well, not overly sweet or salty, just right. Crispy pork only have pork belly cut, it was good when it was fresh and hot and crispy. All the layers of skin and meat is well marinated with five spice and etc, but if you take it home, it tastes fatty and the skin turn hard. I wish they have pork rib section so it would be a leaner cut. My combo has a lot of rice on the bottom but I wish they give me more meat. For $@4 I can't complain too much I guess. It is still good place for...
