Kau Kau Barbeque Market

Generations of Seattleites think fondly of grabbing a box of char sui and fried rice at Kau Kau. Walk by its longstanding King Street location in the International District and it’s hard to miss its hanging pork ribs, roasted duck, and char sui. The showstopper at Kau Kau is the whole roasted pig, great for large parties and gatherings but totally justified for one with leftovers to last for weeks. Kau Kau is also known for its barbecued duck with plum sauce, a slightly tart and sweet accent that pairs well with that crisp, salty shard of duck skin.
