8 Best Hong Kong-Style Barbecue Restaurants in LA | Eater LA

"The pricy roast goose that needs to be ordered in advance is the specialty at Sham Tseng BBQ. The restaurant is named after one of the most famous roast goose purveyors in Hong Kong. Don’t miss the excellent soy sauce chicken and a very serviceable siu yuk." - Euno Lee

It’s really cheap and good value. The uncle who serves the food is really nice ( though I can’t understand his speaking mostly but I can feel his passion haha). I ordered 2 set menu and pork feet, the portion is really big and pretty delicious. Definitely worth a try if you are around the area and feeling traditional Cantonese.

Never again buy sticky rice in lotus leaf from here. How can they get it wrong for a basic food item. I bought some sticky rice displayed right on the cashier counter and thought I must struck gold because they were warm and fresh. It was only fool’s gold. The rice was wrapped facing the rough side of lotus leave instead of the smooth water repellent side, which means the mud and dust are now all over the rice I am about to eat. Yuck. If they don’t get one simple thing right, what can I say about others on the menu.

Shouldn't deserve even one star. I paid $408 for a whole roasted pig just couple days ago, and what I got seemed to be a whole pig (see picture), but except for the pig's head and four legs, it was made of the worst part (後腿肉)! It's so dishonest.

Best place for Chinese BBQ and Clay pot rice. No decor no vibe and no service. You good there for the food. Take out bbq is always good and pricing for lunch is good. Lunch menu has special items. Try the lobster noodle and clay pot rice. It will be helpful if you read Chinese because some of the special menu were written in Chinese only.

Specialty crispy BBQ suckling pig, steamed fresh oysters in black bean sauce, juicy steamed minced pork with salted duck egg....these are just a small delicious preview of their diverse menu. This gem in Monterey Park offers Hong Kong BBQ and Chiu Chow style Chinese food. Their food tends to be very rich and full of flavors. Their staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Complementary house soup and tea are also pretty good. We left with 100% satisfaction. Ah, they also have really good lunch speicals!

Who knew there was rable service past the takeout counter. My furst time here. Really wanted to love this place. But service was neglectful and hostile. They were definitely having a grumpypuss day. As for the food -- it takes a nice picture!! But...the filet mignon and snowpeas, too salty, and the meat was spongy. The flavor of the sweet sour pork chops was good, very tasty, but there were lots of bone shards. The char sui meat was dark hard and dry, though it had good flavor...looked like it was a leftover. Really wanted to like this place bec its got a cheesy hole-the-wall vibe. Colorful menus plaster the walls. Loved the menu as decor. The quality of the food, sad. The quality of the service, also sad. Maybe it was chefs night off? The place was popular, every table filled and on a weekday nite too. The tea was great. Really cool gold teapots. No refills tho. Cash only. Parking avail in lot and on street.

For those who know, this used to be Sam Woo years ago. It's located in a small plaza that shares the parking lot with a bigger restaurant and some other establishments. Parking here sucks. Not only is it small, but a little tight. Larger SUV's might have issues parking here. There are parking spots on the streets, so you might have to walk a block or 2 if there are no parking available. Though, there is parking available in the back of the restaurant, but there's only about 3 slots and it's angled, so leaving, you will be backing your car out on to Garvey. Just be careful if your car does not have a back up camera. When you enter the restaurant, you are right in the deli area. Keep going a few feet and there's the restaurant. Capacity is about 43 people, so not too big, but for most, should be ok. On this hot day in June, they blasted the AC and it must have been in the low 70's or high 60's. Which felt good, but can get cold if you are just sitting there. There are pictures of their food items plastered all over the restaurant and specials on each table. They have a special menu from 10am-6pm that offer their menu items at a discounted price. My one complaint about this restaurant is that the floors are filthy. There are stains from sauces and who knows what else and it doesn't look like they clean the floors. I could be wrong, but they really need to do a deep cleaning. I ended up ordering the Seafood chow fun, spicy salt calamari & crispy pork/roast duck. Total came out to about $50 with tax. While waiting, they brought me a bowl of pork broth soup with some veggies and pork bones. It was tasty and helped contain my hunger. The calamari came out first and I thought it was a little too heavy on the salt, though it was seasoned well as I can taste the five spice powder they used on it. It had a nice crunch and not too thick. I did notice that the inside was a little gooey though. Could be that they didn't fry it long enough or the calamari might have been undercooked just a bit. The pork/duck came out and this was why I decided to come here. I wanted to see how their deli meat compared to Sam Woo's. And I have to say, it is better. The cut of pork I was served was meaty, fatty and moist. I didn't need the sauce at all, but it was a bit salty though. The skin was nice and crispy and at $14, it's not a bad deal. The duck was also a little on the salty side, but it was very flavorful. I would definitely come back here for these two items. The chow fun was just ok. The texture was a little slimy, but the taste was there. It's as good as Longten Cafe down the street though. Their's has a wok hay taste to it. This one here had a slight wok hay to it, but the texture and taste was not on the same level. Overall, I would come here again to try their other items. The one thing about restaurants/deli's is that you have the option of ordering the roast pork, duck and other items if that's what you are in the mood for. The service was pretty standard, but one thing I did like is that they will pack your left overs for you.

Wife was craving some salt-baked chicken, Hakka-style particularly. I was thrilled to find this BBQ shop. It was a real gem, having at least 3, maybe up to 5, different types of salted chicken on the menu. This is authentic and delicious Cantonese, with many harder to find dishes like Badong Beef Curry and Roasted Goose. There are many colorful pictures of the house specials. Portions are generous, and a great value. Prices range from $5.99 for a 1-item BBQ lunch box, to $528 for a uber deluxe seafood party meal. The wait staff are super nice. How nice exactly? We saw an elderly customer who lost his dentures. He thought it might have gotten lost when clearing the table. To try to help the man, the staff went through their dishes and other parts of the restaurant trying to locate them, even though it was near closing time. Very kind and and thoughtful staff!

I love this place! Great food!! Sham Tseng BBQ offers Cantonese and Chiu Chow/Teo Chew style regional Chinese food. The Chinese BBQ roasted meats here are a must try for meat lovers. The restaurant is best known for their roast goose and duck. Roast Goose needs to be ordered in advance; and for a whole one it's about:$185. Live Seafood is also available. The lunch specials are from 10am to 6pm on weekdays. Their stir fried dishes have plenty of "wok hei" and are delicious. The chefs here know what they are doing! Service wise I cannot complain, they are always very nice to me. Yes, there is a slight language barrier, but for the most part they understand English speakers. Ambiance? divey hole-in-the-wall. -Parking: Small private lot shared with others businesses. -Payment: Cash and Credit.

They have lots of varieties. Some are very unique. Prices are very attractive. Service is super for a small restaurant standard.

Over the years, this continues to remind me of the neighborhood place in HK for the locals to enjoy a home cooked meal. It's nothing fancy (although I have seen people ordered up fancy seafood dishes) and don't expect American style of customer service but it hits the spot for many dishes that they offered. It's also sometime hit and missed. But the BBQ items are pretty constantly good. And I recently discovered BBQ pork or char siu over rice to go 叉燒飯外賣 comes with a cup of daily soup & it's only $7.99!! I mean, you can't even get a meal at McDonald for $7.99+tax!! For that, I am grateful and char siu are yummy!

Food was delicious and the price is pretty decent. If you buy 4 dishes, you get one additional dish free. It also comes with free soup and rice that you can refill constantly. Hubby and I ordered the steamed tilapia, a roasted duck, one mustard vegetable dish , another vegetable order and they provided salted chicken for free. Service is typical of any Chinese restaurant. Don't expect super friendly or stellar service. Just go for the food. Parking can be difficult so best option is to come earlier as there are not much parking spaces available. Would come again because of the decent price and portion of the food!

I haven't been back here since Covid except to buy a roast duck to go. One of the best local ducks with original flavors around. It's been long overdue for dining back here and unsure why we haven't sooner. We used to come get their lunch specials alot. Buy 5 items get a 6th item free!! Restaurant and food items have gone up drastically since Covid and we were surprised to find the specials still the same along with their prices!! Portions may be a tad smaller and some items may not be the best compared to other places but for the prices and deals, it makes up the difference if you're eating on a budget while getting a descent quick fix of varieties! We got stir fry green beans which was good and generic. We also got steamed pork patty with salted fish which was just ok though. The fish was not the salted kind/brand. The steam egg with minced pork was also ok. Interesting it was a bit custard like which makes me suggest they mixed flour into it to make it that way. Didn't care for it to be creamy like. I prefer the traditional watery jello texture like steamed eggs. The chicken feet was the free item and it's a twist off from dim sum flavors. They used bbq pork sweetening and red colors and flavors were a mix of that and dim sum way. It wasn't bad though. They offer free soup that comes with your meals along with generic hot tea and white rice. All this for about $45! We had alot left to wrap home! Place was clean and the employees were very nice. Definitely coming back more often like we used to pre-covid. Parking is very small and may need to find street parking though.

I haven't ate here in a hot minute and it was as good as I remembered. It's a pretty small shop and there aren't much workers. I ordered the salted fish chicken fried rice and the spare ribs. The fried rice was honestly one of the best I've had in the sgv. I was pleasantly surprised since I'm not usually a fan of the fried rice. I spare rib was good as well but it took over 30 minutes to come out. The workers were very apologetic for the wait time which I appreciated. Overall, it's a very nostalgic place and the price is decent as well. Large portions.

This used to be one of my go to place to get a good Authentic Cantonese Cuisine for a good deal. I said used to because the past weekend I came and was disappointed that not only did they not have their lumch/dinner specials anymore with the buy 4 get 1 free dish, they removed the entire specials menu after 6pm. (They used to have this menu all day) If you spend over $60, you'll get a free half yellow chicken. It's not posted anywhere, you'll have to ask the waiter if there's any specials going on right now. Food is an authentic taste of Hong Kong style, Cantonese cusine. Flavors are good but nothing out of this world. Their dining area is very small. Not recommended for big parties. They accept credit cards but only 1 card per transaction. They will not split the check for you.

Overall, I would rate this a place a 4/5 with service included in the rating. The food here is a solid 3/5. The bbq was a bit too salty for my liking and would still prefer Sam Woo's. The restaurant serves your typical Cantonese cuisine. If you spend over $60, you have the option of receiving a free plate of goose, steamed white chicken or duck. The service was great! The aunties there were kind, attentive and mentioned the deals that they had. She also provided several suggestions! They gave us free red bean dessert at the end of the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant is a bit more intimate, and the restaurant is a bit small similar to those in Hong Kong. I wouldn't come here for bbq specifically, but would come back for their other dishes!

I am gonna say just because a spot is filled with Chinese seniors citizens, you think it's gonna taste fantastic but it tastes just OKAY. I can see the seniors are there for the crazy lunch special that is from 11 to 6pm where you buy 4 dishes and get 1 dish free. I was disappointed with the flavors but overall you get what you pay for. Maybe my tastebuds have been spoiled because I am a foodie but for me it tasted just OKAY. Service is good and ambiance will bring you back to China!

I hope the owner doesn't take my word. I say this store doesn't look great physically. However, I can tell the owner has worked hard on the food and menu to make people think this place is special or even a 4 or 5 start restaurant. Having a place with this kind of gorgeous food with an affordable price, it is a treasure to the community.

Picked up a large turkey and came home to find that it is super undercooked. Couldnt recook in time also wasnt safe to eat. Thanksgiving ruined. Thank goodness we have the costco honey ham at least. We threw out the turkey since we didnt want to risk getting sick recooking it with concern of bacteria growth. $70 down the drain.

My family and I had great dinner here. We usually order some BBQ to go in the past so we don't know what to expect when we dine in. Service and food was above our expectations. When we ordered the fried rice, the waitress told us it would probably fill one person, but the portion was very big and more than enough for four since we also ordered soup (seafood and tofu soup was so delicious!) and a vegetable dish, which were also huge portions. Since we spent a lot, they gave us some free steamed chicken. After we finished our dinner and paid, they gave us each a free bowl of sweet soup. Very great dinner, but only one downside...just wish their bowls are a little bit bigger to put the rice in.

Coming to this restaurant many years when it used to be Sam Woo and after became Sham Tseng. Lately - last three visits - sold me very old duck and chicken rice soup was rotten! Only one staff I remember from old days. OWNER - stop encouraging staff to sell old food at fresh price!! Terrible. I haven't returned since Chinese New Year meal ruined by the old duck. Used to come every week.

Best Chinese BBQ in Monterey Park! We enjoy the food in this restaurant. The Roasted Duck is the best. I usually will buy the whole duck for the family to enjoy!

Location on Garvey in a decent location. Not great. Not bad. The inside is small and cramped but seems clean. The menu is all over the wall and they will also give you one. The service is no nonsense. If you say "hole in the wall" this is it. They get quite busy at times and the line goes out the door. I would consider this place a local staple. Their food is no nonsense as well. The pricing is decent and actually quite good if you get the specials. The array of food they offer is mind boggling. They have just about anything you can think of! The flavors are no nonsense as well. They are there. Not great. Not bad either. Good is how I would describe it. The quantities are pretty big that they serve so you will likely have leftovers to take home!

Best tasting roast duck in San Gabriel Valley at $35 including tax. Very meaty and very authentic Chinese taste and delicious roast duck .Much better than the Alhambra Sam Woo's duck on Valley.

Came here cuz my son wanted BBQ Pork Wonton Noodle Soup. He said the BBQ Pork was old. I ordered a few other dishes. Beef Stew was tough and the daikon was old/sour. The Soy Sauce Chicken was dry and tasted like they re-heated it in tue microwave. Only thing that was good was the shrimp

I have been looking for roost goose lai fun (thick rice noodles) for so long. I only had a good one in the Bay area many years ago. My most favorite was the ones that I had in my hometown Hong Kong though. Anyhow, my mom and I were susprised that Sham Tseng have roost goose lai fun noodles now. It wasn't cheap for a bowl of noodles with a few pieces of roost goose meat for $20. We wanted to try it so badly and we also ordered the steamed pork ribs as well. Unfortunately, the lai fun were different than the ones I had in Hong Kong and it tasted mediocre. The most important part was the roost goose meat, they were dry and they didn't have a lot of meat. I would say that roost duck taste a lot better than roost goose at this restaurant. Their steamed pork ribs were not bad but I would rather have the steamed pork ribs at dim sum restaurants. My most favorite was their complimentary soup though. It was not salty and the taste was so good and satisfying. I haven't been to Sham Tseng BBQ Shop for few years and the place was clean and comfortable. Service was okay, it's a typical HK BBQ Shop with fast pace. We were disappointed by the roast goose lai fun and would not order this in here again.

I only know that Shem Tseng barbecue shop at Hong Kong is the most famous one for the Cantonese barbecue! Luckily, I found it here at Monterey Park ! It is only a very little restaurant, but they serve the very authentic really high skillful techniques from the kitchen ! Chef Liu had over 40 years experiences that he made everything so delicate tasty beautiful exquisite! Try their barbecue chicken duck, goose, turkey, barbecue pork everything is so good and they can custom made for you all these exquisite dishes show him the picture ask him to make it for you. You will be so satisfied with their product especially not too expensive. If you want to find an authentic exquisite food restaurant with a fair price, this is the one that you want to go !

Food is always great. Been going since the 90's when it was Sam Woo. More varieties after Sham Tseng bought it over. Order staff used to be good but I can tell you if you don't speak English they will ignore you! I didn't believe my Spanish friend when he told me his father got so mad when he tried to order food and they ignored him. I am Asian but I brought my nephew who is 9 and 1/2 black. We sat ourselves and the woman refused to acknowledge me when I asked if she has a few dishes that was in displayed on the wall. She left me there talking to myself, I tapped her on the shoulder. She acted as though didn't exists! 2 stars off for her ugly treatment.

My Mom and I were at Sham Tseng BBQ for some roasted duck, but ended up getting the soy sauce chicken which was cheaper. As they were chopping up the chicken, my Mom noticed salt and pepper shrimp was on sale for $7.99. Unfortunately, they were all out of the shrimp. However, while the butcher was cutting up the soy sauce chicken, they were kind enough to fry up some shrimp. In addition to the chicken, we got two orders of the shrimp as well. They looked so scrumptious! Their BBQ deli section does have some unique food items. Ambiance is okay. I took some pictures, but later found out the NO PHOTOGRAPHY sign was behind the cashier. I didn't see the sign until later. Anyway, I will not share any pictures here since they insist no pictures. Oh well, no advertisement for them from me on Yelp LOL. Yeah, the cashier lady was very rude. The butchers were very friendly and nice though. Prices have gone up that's for sure. Credit card use only when $25 or more on purchases. Otherwise, cash is it! This location is located in a small plaza, hence, parking is limited. Will we be back after what happened with the photos scare (yes I got a yell from the cashier lady LOL)... yes, it was a scare for me! I really don't know... customer service is vital and I feel they lacked it this time around IMHO.

Some of the best roast duck I've ever had, so tender and juicy! Air conditioning was blasting, it was nice and cold inside the restaurant. The service was excellent as well, they even changed our plates midway through the meal.

A convenient place located along side of the Garvey Ave with plaza parking available. Sham Tseng is my number one choice to get a quick roast duck fix when nearby Alhambra/Monterey Park neighborhood. The bbq line always require some wait, but chef would cut thru the meat in lightening speed. The place also has dine-in area, where people who dine there can order few specials for a steep discount (not available for to-go orders). Recommended to dine in for 3-4 people so you could get various dishes to share. Sham Tseng Carrie's wide range of food selections on the menu as well as bbq. Definitely will be able to find something different to try each time. One of the dish I would like to try there at the next big party is duck with stuffed abalone, I am sure this dish will impress all guests at your party!

This is one of my favorite places to come and have a delicious meal. I usually get the same things and it never fails. Sometimes I do try a new dish. But I stick with my usual. It all depends on what you like. It's delicious and tasty that I can't stop eating. It a dangerous place for me. I end up eating too much. Service is probably not the best but so worth coming here to try it out

Finally came back to get my tea time lunch specials. I have not come back as often since another price increase. But their food is still taste great, and slightly cheaper than other places. They continue to have the happy hours @3-5pm. Where you get buy 3 get 1 free. Regular lunch specials at 10-3 is buy 4 get 1 feee.

This hole in the wall is a hidden gem. The portions are great and the food here are delicious. The only dish that was just ok was the spicy salt pork chop. Although it tasted ok, the oil they used to cook it was noticeably old. Beef brisket here was good and tender. The beef chow fun was also good and the meat was not tough. The service was ok and the food came out fairly quick. The parking lot is small so you may need to park elsewhere.

SLOWEST SERVICE EVER It took nearly 2 hours for our 3 very simple dishes to come out. I came here around 3pm with my parents. We got seated and there were 2 other tables besides us, so not busy. The booth we were seated at had used napkins and chicken bones under the table. Gross, but whatever. The servers forgot to give us napkins and only gave us 2 teacups when we had 3 people. Small problem, that's fine. We ordered deep fried sole fish, deep fried tofu, and stir fried green beans. It took 25 minutes for the green beans and very little steam rice to come out first. Green beans tasted ok but a little undercooked. The rice tasted old and mushy. We waited ANOTHER 30 minutes for the deep fried tofu to come out. At this point the green beans had already turned cold. My parents and I didn't even want to touch our food bc we wanted to eat all 3 dishes at once with our rice. What is this, a course meal? But we waited too long so we ate all the tofu and green beans. My mom wanted to cancel the deep fried fish bc at this point we've waited over an hour. Then they finally brought out the fried fish. We only took a couple of bites and boxed the rest. Did they only have one stove? One cook? What took so long?! Did they not care? Go to any Cantonese restaurant and these dishes would've come out in less than 10 minutes. It's not complicated dishes either. Giving them 2 stars instead of one because tofu tasted good and the fish they gave us was big but no one's going to wait over an hour for a simple Cantonese lunch. Wouldn't recommend coming here.

If you haven't tried this place, you're missing out! They have great value for food with quality. If you going during lunch time you can get one entree free if you buy 4 entrees. My usuals are the salted steam chicken, peking style pork chop, roasted pork and duck, and steamed tilapia. The dishes also came with a soup. They have a really extensive menu and I can't wait to come back and try the other items. Everything was delicious and the food came out quickly. The service is really friendly! The gentleman who served us was really accommodating and made our meal more pleasant. Happy Eating!

My mom and I came here to pick up food for dinner. We love their "buy 3, get one free" deal and wanted something easy since we were too tired and lazy to cook at home. After ordering, we walked around the plaza for 15 minutes and the food was not ready yet. The cashier said it was 20 minutes, not 15. Ok, so we waited another 15 minutes and checked again. Nope, not ready and now the cashier is getting feisty with attitude. Honestly, if she just told us she'll check on the order or apologize for the wait, it would've been fine. But no, she was giving so much attitude. In addition, I needed to use the restroom but they didn't have one. I don't know how a restaurant doesn't have a restroom for their customers. In the end, it took 45 minutes until our order was ready. Seriously, I could've cooked myself. While we were waiting, I overheard the cashier complain about a guy coming in to order 11 turkeys, but he wanted separate checks. She really complained and then told him to have someone else write the receipts. This lady needs to check her attitude. Maybe she's having a bad day but it was shitty enough that we probably won't come back anymore despite how good the deal is here.

An understated corner like a Chinese Restaurant/Deli is bringing back some nice traditional affair. Even with some misplaced language barrier as some may be saying, everyone needs to understand the focus here is good food, fast service, and not always giving you the warm and fuzzies. Expect some really long lines around certain holidays. This Cantonese Style Deli is really that good. If you're in line the deli line, just be prepared to order what you need right away because most people here are focused on a task. Comparatively, they are making some very good Chinese BBQ. Pricing is on par with the quality they are delivering and flavors are close to the excellence that is Cantonese-style BBQ flavors. From their Roast Duck and Roast Pork, the long line is an indication that there are fans of plenty. Their Soy and/or Steamed whole chicken is slightly above average. Depending on the seasons and holidays, the deli will also have other items such as a variety of steamed baos and even sticky rice wrapped in tea leaves, known as Joong. The dining room menu is your typical Chinese Cantonese-style food. Some dishes are well seasoned, and with excellent "Wok-Hay." Noodle and Rice dishes are not thin and yes there is MSG. Everything is of good value, and they have a steady stream of regulars.

Authentic Hoisan dishes. Ordered 1/2 crispy pork and duck, black bean clams, sweet and sour pork and scrambled eggs with bitter melon. The pork and duck did not disappoint. Pork skin was very crispy and the duck dipped in the plum sauce was good. The clams were not too flavorful as the black beans were all mushed together. The sweet and sour was on the sour side, it needed more sugar. The bitter melon dish was delectable. The waiter was very rude and inpatient with us, but they seemed to be like that to all the patrons.

Everyplace is better when you can speak the language! I ordered on Yelp and went to pick up! It said my order was ready but it was not when I arrived. When I told them I was there for pick up, I was ignored by the lady. The cook had seen me and told her to help me but the request was ignored. They were helping someone else at the time. I had to wait 10-15 extra minutes because my food was not prepared. I honestly think they have my order to the lady who arrived before me and had me wait, but I couldn't tell since I don't speak the language. It's a really cool spot for duck and pork. Next time I would just come in on the meat side to order instead of the restaurant side. I'd come back here for the food which was decent. Can't beat a whole duck with buns for $41 (tax included)

The milk tea is amazingly good, but the rice this time is just bad. Cold and soaky. Really bad. The fried lamb is hot on the top and cool in the middle. I am surprised and tired to telling them about this. We have had meals for 3 times here and each time actually there is a minor problem such as food is cold in the middle, food shows up after we finish or wrong bill. Human errors do happen during lunch or dinner hour. Just be careful.

Was meaning post this for almost a year now, damn! This was in the hey days of dining out, and the dishes were excellent as I remembered it. If you can look past some erratic misbehavior or cultural attitudes this place was excellant without the bullshit recommendations from the likes of Michelin guide and other food food rags. This is a hole in the wall but serves up great and authentic cantonese food.

This has been a local popular dine in and to go restaurant. This establishment has been here for years and food quality and prices are maintained consistency and reasonable. Service was ok but not complaining. Definitely a place to have a decent quick meal when I am in the area especially visiting dad across the street.
