Bringing People Closer, One Skewer at a Time
There’s a new aroma wafting through the streets of Ortigas—bold, smoky, and irresistibly spiced. It’s the unmistakable scent of ShaoKao BBQ, the rising star of Chinese-style street grilling that has captured the Filipino palate since its debut in 2024. And now, with the grand opening of its newest branch at City Golf Plaza, Doña Julia Vargas Avenue, Pasig City, ShaoKao BBQ is ready to take food lovers on another flavorful adventure.
A Taste of China, Perfected for the Filipino Palate
At ShaoKao BBQ, every skewer tells a story—of Chinese night markets alive with sizzling sounds and vibrant spices, now reimagined for the warmth of Filipino gatherings. The restaurant’s name comes from the Chinese word for “barbecue,” a fitting homage to its roots in authentic, street-side grilling.
From tender beef and juicy chicken to smoky lamb, seafood, and their signature bola-bola, ShaoKao BBQ turns simple ingredients into comforting, flavor-packed bites. Each skewer is brushed with special house-made sauces, then grilled to perfection over open flames—creating that perfect balance of spice, aroma, and texture that keeps diners coming back for more.
New Menu, New Memories
With its Ortigas opening, ShaoKao BBQ is also unveiling exciting new menu items that add a comforting twist to their signature offerings. Guests can now savor Satay Noodles and Mala Tang, two hearty bowls that perfectly complement their barbecued skewers. Seafood lovers will enjoy freshly grilled mussels and scallops, while meat enthusiasts can explore a wider selection of cuts—each one designed to delight and surprise the palate.
“Our goal has always been to bring people closer through food,” shares the ShaoKao BBQ team. “Every skewer we serve is an invitation—to share stories, laughter, and moments that turn into memories.”
From One Store to a Growing Family
What started as a humble spot on Banawe Street, Quezon City in June 2024, has now become a beloved go-to for authentic Chinese street-style barbecue. The new Ortigas branch, which opened on September 22, 2025, marks a significant milestone for the brand—its second branch, and a symbol of its growing community of fans.
To ensure consistent quality, ShaoKao BBQ recently established its own commissary, allowing the team to craft their sauces, marinades, and skewers in-house. This commitment to excellence ensures that every bite—whether enjoyed in Quezon City or Ortigas—delivers the same unforgettable ShaoKao flavor.
The Spirit of Togetherness
Beyond great food, ShaoKao BBQ has built its reputation on one powerful idea: bringing people together. The casual yet vibrant ambiance of its Ortigas branch—with red chairs, wooden tables, and the comforting aroma of grilled skewers—sets the stage for gatherings that feel like home. Whether it’s a casual night out with friends or a family dinner that stretches into midnight, ShaoKao BBQ promises warmth in every bite and laughter in every corner.
As ShaoKao BBQ continues to grow, one thing remains constant—their passion for creating meals that do more than satisfy hunger. They bring comfort, connection, and the timeless joy of sharing good food with good company.
