Come here once in a while, always enjoy the BBQ with very rich spices such as cumin. There are quite a few BBQ vegetables, mushrooms, bean curd skin. It made up a good balance between meat and vegetables, plus there are other non BBQ choices such as appetizers, dumplings and fried rice.

Great lamb skewers!

Seriously how do you mess up corn on the cob so badly that it’s inedible? I didn’t even think that was possible

IMPORTANT- you need to try their Lion’s head clay pot! Total surprise, but they said one of their best sellers!

Been coming here a long time for their Beijing-style skewers — super flavorful and spicy, just the right amount of char. But the surprise was the lion’s head clay pot. Honestly one of the best things I’ve had in a while. The broth is super rich and savory, and the meatballs just fall apart in the best way. Cabbage and glass noodles soaked up all the flavor.

Didn’t expect it to be that good. Totally worth the extra drive. Would come back just for that clay pot alone.

The food is very bad, not fresh at all. Price is expensive. Would not go back there.

The Good: We ordered beef, chicken, tofu skins, chicken skin (not crispy as expected), corn on cob, mushrooms, croak (fish), lamb and steamed buns skewers. Prices are reasonable ($1.99 up per skewer). Ordering is a breeze (just scan the barcode at your table). Foods/meats are smoky, flavourful and delicious. Service is fast and prompt (they brought our orders within 5mins of each other).

The NotSoGood: There are only a handful of tables in the restaurant, so go early (preferably before 12 Noon). They marinaded all the skewers with the same spices, so after a while, they all tasted the same. I would prefer some of the dishes to be with just salt and peppers.

Take away: Think of this as the Chinese's version of Spanish tapas. There are also larger dishes to order, but we stayed with the skewers and were filled. Our bill came to $70 for 3 people (tips and tax included).

Not as good as before

No idea what makes their BBQ so good, but it's amazing enough to make you crave it regularly, especially when watching Cdramas that show people eating grilled skewers!! I wish they sold their seasoning blend. Everything there is delicious. Everything.

This place is always packed, and yet it gets pretty bad reviews. I'm absolutely convinced it's a conspiracy by the regulars to scare away newcomers, because it's already way over capacity.

Trust me, the skewers here are fantastic. But don't bother with anything else. The skewers are the main attraction. Don't waste precious empty space in your stomach on their side dishes when you could be stuffing your gob with even more skewers.

For non North Chinese, (anyone outside of mountain/sea gate 山海关以南) it should be an okay experience of Northeast China BBQ. But as a someone that knows a lot about this type of cuisine. This is not even close to authentic

The restaurant is small, the wait was long. I got food poisoning here after getting the BBQ OYSTERS. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOLE IN THE WALL. Unsanitary also I do not trust this place I was sick for 2 days after eating here. I am Chinese and appalled that they served me food items that were not fresh, I would assume everything is not fresh and some of the items are fake and bought for cheaper than other places. I’m sure there are rubber and flour in the meats like they serve in China. I am sorry I do not recommend at all.
