So delicious and I loved the self rotating grill!
We arrived a bit after 5 pm on a Sunday and snagged one of the last available tables. We ordered a variety of skewers and some fried intestines. All delicious and would love to try more items next time!

Lots of places these days for Chinese skewers, Feng Mao is among the best. Inside is not large, street parking is the thing, and their skewers are generously cut compared to most of their competitors. Service is pretty good, as are some of the cooked dishes, especially the eggplant.

Superb. The fusion of Korean and Chinese cuisines really works here. Get the mala lamb skewers, the richness of the lamb sets off the mala. Chicken hearts were notably excellent, pork belly- enoki great. Don’t be afraid of the bull penis, if you like tendon you will like this. The lotus dish was excellent and the banchan gave you a vinegar reset of your tastebuds. Get some rice to contrast with the meat. V friendly staff , huge menu to explore. Just a great place.

I hadn’t been to Feng Mao in over 10 years, so it felt nostalgic to come back. Back then, there was always a long line, and from what I could see, that hasn’t changed much.
This time, a friend picked the restaurant. While they don’t have their own parking lot, you can park across the street at Hanmi Bank on 5th, so parking wasn’t an issue for me.
We ordered a variety of skewers — lamb (their specialty), beef, and octopus. The first thing that caught my eye was the auto-turning skewer rack. Such a cool upgrade! It rotates the skewers for you, so the grilling is even and effortless. I don’t remember them having that back in the day. The skewers all came out perfectly cooked if you pull them off at the right time, and the flavor was solid.
We also tried the marinated cucumbers, grilled chives, and sweet and sour pork. The cucumbers were light and refreshing. The chives, grilled with sauce, had great flavor, though a bit on the salty side (easy fix: just dip less into the sauce). The sweet and sour pork was different from the typical Chinese style — heavier on the batter and with a lighter sauce that leaned sweet without much sour. The pork itself was crunchy, so it was still enjoyable, just a different take on the dish.
Overall, the meal was satisfying. The service was fine — not overly attentive, but things ran smoothly, especially if you can speak Korean or Chinese.
I’d recommend Feng Mao if you enjoy skewers, especially lamb. Just keep in mind that dinner time, especially on weekends, can come with a wait.

Wow wow this place slaps. Mala style Korean -Chinese skewers. Their stir fry beef and lamb with cilantro is equally delicious if you don’t want to wait for the 5 minute of self rotating skewer goodness. The green scallion pancakes are the best I’ve had- flakey and crispy. Cold noodles are a refreshing cool down to the spice. Still have to explore the whole menu but shocked that this place doesn’t get More love. ALSO FREE parking at the Han mi bank next to it! Service is great!

Nestled away in Koreatown is a hidden gem of a skewer restaurant, specializing in Northern-style BBQ skewers. They also offer a fantastic selection of cold side dishes and refreshing cold noodles. The flavors are amazing, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Highly recommended for all skewer lovers! ⭐️👍😎

It was my first time at this place, on a friend’s recommendation. The cumin spiced meat was so great!
Usually not a fan of lamb, but the lamb skewers from this place was pretty good, and it also didn’t stink too badly.
The beef kebab was amazing too, the beef was tender and well marinated! The chicken kebab felt a bit dry and not as flavourful compared to the other so I would not recommend.
It’s a good place to socialize as you needed to wait for the skewers to be grilled.
Went on a Saturday, around 730pm, and waited around 30-45 mins for the table to be ready, but this was WELL worth the wait!

The lamb skewer is so good. I usually dislike lamb meat because of the smell but the lamb meats particular smell was nonexistent in the skewers. I actually preferred it over the beef skewers - which is also very savory and tasteful.
I would also recommend ordering some bowl of rice to balance out the strong taste of the skewers and to also get that extra carb.
Definitely would come back with my friends and coworkers to grab drinks and skewers!

be extra careful when you pay. I would not come here again. the restaurant gave us receipt with false wrong/incorrect tips amount that’s calculated for you in the receipt. When I calculated the tips, mind you tips are supposed to be calculated pre tax before tax and not after tax. The pre tax $138.05 x 0.20 =$165.66. it should not be $176.28 pictured here on the receipt that’s calculated for you already.
That is dishonesty and not good business practice and ethical. I will not come here again.food was nothing special too
