The Best New Restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina - AFAR
"Another new, globally influenced barbecue joint, King BBQ, comes from Corrie and Shuai Wang, the owners of North Charleston’s popular Jackrabbit Filly. “Frankly, we missed the Chinatown-style barbecue we used to eat in Flushing, Queens,” says chef Shuai, “and wanted to show our love for foods like roast duck, cha shao, and crispy roast pork.” Shuai merges traditional Chinese flavors with regional smoking techniques in dishes such as soft and lacquered char siu ribs. Other standouts include five-spice duck legs, piquant Dan Dan noodles, and shrimp toast sliders, along with musically themed “trashy-fancy” cocktails like the Shimmy Shimmy Ya and the Careless Whisper. Put it all together, and you’ve got a place that earned a spot on Bon Appetit‘s list of the 20 best new U.S. restaurants this year."
