About KAOKAO Grill

REINVENTING AMERICAN STYLE BBQ WITH ASIAN INFLUENCED FLAVORS

KAOKAO Grill is one of the restaurants listed in Berkeley, California. The business is registered at 2993 College Ave, Berkeley, CA 94705; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.

This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. Typical hours are 11:30 amโ€“3 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (510) 960-0851. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 177 reviews, which is a strong result for a restaurant in Berkeley and suggests consistent service.

Berkeley is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Berkeley follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Very friendly owner. Offered 5% discount on cash payments. We ordered 3 dishes. Kaokao chicken, char siu over rice, and beef brisket noodle soup. The star of the meal was the char siu over rice. Weโ€™ll reorder that for sure. The beef brisketโ€™s soup was soy sauce forward, my husband enjoyed the noodle but it was a tad too soft for me. The kaokao chicken is very well cooked, moist chicken, but it was a confused dish imo, so it is not a dish we would reorder. Overall good tasting food, weโ€™d come back for the char siu. The restaurant was very smokey, and it stuck to my body and clothes all day after. So I would not come here before going anywhere important, so youโ€™ll smell of bbq.

Got there when they opened, and they were very helpful with the menu. Food took awhile to arrive (20+ mins), and tastes were different. Not bad, just more fusion and may not be suitable for those looking for authentic original flavors. Mix of American bbq and Asian flavors. Still good, and would go again if weโ€™re in the area

I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared perfectly and full of flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the presentation was excellent. My favorites were the BBQ brisket noodle and the char siu set. Also, the staff/ owner made us feel welcome and ensured everything was perfect.

Holy smokes, what a treasure! The food is outstanding here. A friend has tried it and wanted to go back a second night in a row, so out we went. The Char siu smoked pork belly is what we call "meat candy". Incredible! Perfectly salty, sweet, and smokey. The hand pulled noodles with peanut sauce- friggin amazing. I retuned the next week to try the eggplant, green beans, and more pork. We were in heaven. This place really is outstanding, and deserves 5 stars or more.

Iโ€™ve been here three times already! I went twice with my wife, and we both loved the char siu set and the BBQ brisket noodle soup. The soup was super flavorful! The char siu set is seriously some of the best pork you can find in the Bay Area, especially if youโ€™re looking for a laid-back vibe. The only thing is that it can take a bit of time for your food to arrive, but itโ€™s totally worth it!
