Imperial Roast & BBQ House

I've been coming here for quite a while, and this place never disappoints. I always order the pork belly sandwich to go, and it's consistently one of my favorite meals in town. The flavors are incredible, and you can tell everything is made with care. What keeps me coming back, though, are the wonderful couple who own the restaurant. They are always so kind, sincere, and genuinely appreciative of every customer. In a world where great customer service can be hard to find, they make you feel welcomed every single time. If you're looking for great food made by genuinely good people, do yourself a favor and stop by. Supporting small family-owned businesses like this is something our community needs more of. On a side note, I failed to mention about the roasted duck. It’s amazing 🔥

I was in the Chinatown of Corpus Christi tonight! We had duck, pork belly, garlic vegetables and bao buns... and one egg roll. You have to get all of that! Take a friend, share. The owner is very nice and we had some very delicious food!

First time trying this place. The prices I seen online are a little higher. Not by much. I posted pics. I got the pork belly and half duck. I was welcomed in. Fast service. The decor was so, not sure what kind of theme or vibe they going for. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! YUMMY flavorful tender pork belly. The Duck was rich with flavor and good size portion for half a duck. Definitely recommend this place.

They are warm pre opening now,no dine in, order to go only. Grand open in December 2025. Thank you for offering samples when I was doubting. "Pha lau"(pork organ herb stew) was sooooooo tasteful, rich favor. 1000% authentic taste. Definitely will be back more with family and friends if they keep the food quality same as today(sad that some restaurants couldn't keep the standard after their business get busier). Crispy pork belly and Char siu pork both with different flavors. I wish they could do crispy pork intestine too, that would be yummy. Next time will try roast duck. I m expecting their official opening in December!

Stopped in to try Imperial Roast and BBQ House, a new family-owned spot that opened about two weeks ago — and I’m really glad I did. It’s a small shop with a welcoming atmosphere. Their son, Bobby, was running the front and did a great job explaining the menu without talking to me like I was five. Friendly, patient, and you can tell they care about their customers. I ordered the Phá Lấu, Char Siu Pork, and Crispy Pork Belly. Phá Lấu: Primarily pig ear, tongue, and intestine — but done right. Tender, flavorful, and none of that harsh offal taste that can sometimes come with dishes like this. The flavor alone could have carried the meal. Char Siu Pork: Juicy, tender, and seasoned well. Not dried out, not overly sweet — just balanced. Crispy Pork Belly: Super flavorful. Not just your basic salt/pepper/garlic profile — you can tell there’s care in the marinade and technique. The skin had a great crunch without the meat drying out. Overall, rounding up to 5 stars without hesitation. This is one of those places where you can see the heart and effort behind the food. Excited to see how they grow, especially once they hit their full stride and grand opening. If you love roast meats,
