About Frannie Express Hawaiian BBQ
Located at 11775 San Pablo Ave, El Cerrito, CA 94530, Frannie Express Hawaiian BBQ operates as a chinese bbq serving El Cerrito in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.
In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in El Cerrito; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in California are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–8 pm. It is closed on Tuesday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Frannie Express Hawaiian BBQ at (510) 680-5318; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is frannieexpresselcerrito.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
Customers rate it 4.3 out of 5 on Google across 221 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded chinese bbq & roast meats in El Cerrito.

If you want delicious food, at a good price, with great quality, I recommend this restaurant. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. The chef is consistent with all the food orders I have placed and that says a lot since my family and have been their customers for years.

If you haven't been to Frannie Express, what are you even doing with your life?! I just had the Garlic Salt and Pepper Ribs, and I’m pretty sure I had a religious experience in the middle of the parking lot. First of all, the ribs. They don't just "season" them; they transform them. Every single bite is an explosion of crispy, golden-brown perfection, tossed in a mountain of toasted garlic and just the right kick of pepper. It’s that perfect salty-crunchy-juicy trifecta that makes you want to bite your own fingers off just to get every last bit of flavor. And the fried rice? Forget about it. It’s not some sad, dry afterthought. It’s seasoned to the gods, fluffy, and the absolute perfect wingman for those ribs. I didn't even use a fork—I just went full caveman mode because food this good doesn't deserve the delay of silverware. Frannie Express isn't just a meal; it’s a lifestyle. If you want your tastebuds to actually feel alive for once, get down there and order the ribs. 11/10, no notes, life-changing.
