This place is always busy and the service can be a bit hit and miss. Recently had the Rice with Duck which was OK but my wife's Seafood Noodles were very good. Overall good place for a cheap meal or takeaway but don't expect a great ambience or service. More

Very authentic, good service and fabulous food. No particular order for the food to arrive eg entree, main etc just arrived when it was cooked. Quite a quirky feel to the place with its plastic tables - not 5 star ambience but we keep going back for the food which is wonderful and very well priced. Roast duck, bbq pork... More

Very busy place and there is a reason - it's fantastic! No fuss, not flash, but the BBQ duck/pork is fantastic. More

BBQ City Restaurant is a great spot for a quick, easy and tasty Chinese meal. Especially good is the crispy skin roast pork, also very good is Singapore noodles. The decor is very simple, tables are set as you order and it has a very busy atmosphere. There are heaps of floor staff so getting served is quick and easy.... More

the food is not retaining its previous standard, the shop is getting run down and through observation the staff tend to be less rude and give better service for younger and attractive customers. More

I have been to this restaurant in our China town precinct many times. It is always busy but somehow you get a table somewhere. To look at it on the outside it doesn't appear at all inviting but it distinguishes itself by having roast ducks hanging in the window. There is a full time person with a cleaver cutting up... More

BBQ City is a typically utilitarian Asian restaurant with rather uninspiring decor, but the food was acceptable, the service in my experience was reasonably prompt, and the prices were appropriate for the style of restaurant - i.e. reasonably cheap. This is probably not the place to take your girlfriend to propose, but if you want to grab a decent meal... More

I've had take away a couple of times from BBQ city. The place is usually packed, with people queuing out the door or at the reception desk waiting for a table, so we chose to get takeaway rather than join the queue. The restaurant is identifiable by its row of BBQ ducks and pork in the window. There are several... More

Price is reasonable and roast stuff are good. Don't expect great service as this is not fine dining but overall service is acceptable for the price. More
