"At Gao’s Kabob, a BBQ spot in Chinatown, folks come for three things: skewered meat, beer towers, and karaoke. Almost all of the wooden tables at Gao’s are filled with hungry groups, laser-focused on inhaling trays lined with silver stakes of lamb, tender beef, and garlic fish. And with golden rivers of beer on tap, there’s no reason to leave this late-night spot (which is open until 2am). This leaves plenty of time to work up enough courage to give your best rendition of “My Heart Will Go On.”" - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"The staff likely won’t bat an eye when you and your giant crew stroll into Gao’s Kabob in Chinatown. They’ll direct you to the other center tables where you can load up on skewers of grilled lamb, beef, fish, and garlic chives. Gao’s stays open pretty late, which means it can be the destination for a power-up before a bar crawl or the only stop of the evening. Just keep the beer towers flowing. And before long, someone in your group might feel emboldened enough to do a little karaoke." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"A birthday at the Gao’s Kabob in Chinatown means being whisked away to a world of skewered meat, beer towers, and karaoke. Head here before a bar crawl to load up on grilled proteins and garlic chives. Or, show up to this late-night spot after you’ve painted the town red and get tender beef skewers as a late-night snack. The later you show up, the more likely you’ll feel emboldened to serenade customers with karaoke numbers as you pour from the beer towers like taps of liquid courage. Go forth and sing your heart out." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"There isn’t really a wrong time to go to Gao’s Kabob in Chinatown. Show up here to be whisked away to a world of skewered meat, beer towers, and maybe karaoke. Bring a group of friends here before a bar crawl to load up on grilled proteins and garlic chives. Or show up at the end of a boozy night and let tender beef skewers serve as your first line of defense against the drinks from earlier in the night. The later you show up, the more likely you’ll feel emboldened to do karaoke numbers as you pour from the beer towers on the ends of tables, like taps of liquid courage." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
