Chinese new year's eve pick up for bbq line up here is just as ridiculous! But then again, would I trust a place that had no line ups on a day like today? No.
I came to Tong Ha based on reviews and yes, it was my fault that I chose the busiest day of the year as my first time to try this place out.
Ordered:
Royal chicken (whole) - skin was yellow and a bit rubbery but the meat was well-seasoned and tender.
BBQ duck (whole) - crispy skin and well-seasoned meat was oh so yummy.
3 lbs of roast pork ribs - STAR OF THE SHOW! crispy skin, juicy meat with good amount of fat to meat ratio.
2 lbs of Cha-siu - glaze was beautifully salty sweet, the meat was ho hum with too many dry pieces.
Verdict:
I would definitely return for their roast pork and the duck. Not so sure about the cha-siu and the chicken.
Note:
I was told by other patrons who were waiting in line (who are supposedly regulars at Tong Ha) that they jacked up the price for the Chinese new year. Classy...
