Great Barbecue

Today, my experience at the restaurant was dreadful. Despite our love for the food and the usual kindness of the staff, we encountered an extremely rude cashier. When I simply asked for recommendations on popular dishes because I'm not familiar with the menu, she bluntly refused, saying, "No, I will not help you. You must choose whatever, and I don't care!" After I open my food I realize they she also placed me the wrong order! My kids feel extremely sad! They only love but we end up with this!

Amazing !! These are qualities. I love these canton aunties and all of food are highly recommended. Yes, this place is only for take out. The food is first come first serve so I suggest the visiting time could be before 5:30pm.Recommended dishes

First time purchasing char siu and soy sauce chicken from Great BBQ. Lots of construction in the middle of Hudson street but worth the trip. There is only take away. Very happy with the quality.Food: 5/5

The best char siu in Chinatown! Duck, chicken and pork belly are also very good. Scallion dipping sauce is a must. Service can be a bit brusque at times but don’t let that bother you. The food is well worth it. Take out & cash only. Highly recommended.

Roasted duck with duck sauce was phenomenal - the authenticity I’ve been looking for! They only accept cash and there is a slight language barrier, but very nice and friendly people. This is the 3rd duck place I’ve had in China town and is by far the most authentic and flavorful duck I’ve had. They don’t have rice plates, but the roasted meat here is very good!

Never gave below 4 stars, but the roasted duck is very disappointing. Over baked. Thin. Lots of bones. Half box are as dry as charcoal. No meat. If it’s me ordering, I would’ve immediately return it. I normally go to or for roasted duck.

My boyfriend is Chinese-American and got excited to see somewhere local he could pick up duck. We live on the cape so it’s just not accessible for us typically. Even though he speaks Chinese fairly well, he maybe misspoke about asking for duck. The guys looked at him like he was an alien and then after my boyfriend pulled out his phone to look up the proper word for duck, one of the guys here yelled at him as if he was being super rude “no duck, sold out!”. Imagine being excited for something and then getting yelled at like you’re a problem. I work in IT support for all ranges of language barriers and capabilities. I just have no patience for people who act like this toward people, especially for doing nothing wrong. He didn’t deserve that. We will look elsewhere for duck.

I chose this place for my first roast duck in many years. I ordered half roast duck and omgosh so good!! Normally when I have to choose between roast duck or soy sauce chicken, I go for SSC so I haven't had duck in so long. Well now this place has reminded me that roast duck is a major contender lol. This is a very small spot that if it weren't for the yellow sign, you might miss it. It's a different set up of having to go downstairs and it has a steep ramp when you get inside. But the duck was very flavorful and not overly salty for me. It has the same issues that SSC does, the tiny bone bits you gotta be careful when you eat. Ah well, it's very worth it. They cut it up for you and it was packaged neatly considering how messy it really is. They do cash only and there isn't really much seating available but it's fine, their food makes up for it.

This is a whole in the wall, but don’t let appearances turn you off! Giant rice plates for $8-$11depending on how many different types of BBQ meats you want. Cash only! Soy sauce chicken was too salty for me. I will try poached chicken next time. Their duck, cha sui, and scallion oil is delicious. Meat is fresh and generous portions were given. I prefer this place over Weiwei.

Don't be intimidated by the language barrier - worth to come in person to choose your preferred cuts of meat. Very few places in the Greater Boston area that cooks fantastic siu yuk and char siu.Food: 5/5
