Kabab tastes yummy! Good recommendation, nice atmosphere. People next table are very satisfied with their dishes too. I’ll try their dishes next time.

The food is getting worse and worse. We went there yesterday (for the last time). The glass eggplant used to be one of our favorite, but now the cut is so big and the chef cooked four same dish all at once, so the flavor is not as good. The squid tastes like rubber. Kabab is not like before either.

Very authentic and good Northern East Chinese BBQ. Definitely deserve a rating higher than 4.5/5. I would give it a 4.8.I have been there 2 times in 2 weeks.?yeah that is how good the food is.?Very happy with everything we ordered.lamb skewers, chicken skewers, squid, mushroom, fish tofu, Taiwanese sausages, glazed eggplants, braised pork with glass noodles, etc... were all very delicious.Compared to other Chinese restaurants around, food portions and quality is amazing!The restaurant is small... so make sure to make a reservation and be there on time. (or you will need to join the wait-list.)Servers are friendly but not very polite?. but I get it, they are short staffed but packed with costumers. So I'm not too bothered by the manners.My only suggestion, maybe have a host/hostess upfront at the entrance to let people know how to join the wait-list or if they can be seated right away. When it gets busy,it is kinda confusing and chaotic.
Really cool place. Only complaint was the hot plate really didnt get that hot. The chicken feet came out really not that warm and wished the plate was able to heat them or get them really hot. Really nice looking inside and the foods comes out quickly. I will definitely go back. This is more north eastern china food Dongbei. The crispy pork slices were very crispy but too sweet for me. They almost tasted like the fried noodles and duck sauce you get at an american style chinese place. Next time I will get the clay pot and try that.

Most of the food was great, although I was not a fan of their kababs. We had special beef and brisket. Special beef was not tender, and brisket was okay. Favorites include the eggplant, cucumbers, green beans, and shrimp. The eggplant was probably the best thing I’ve eaten in months, and I ate a majority of it when it came out. It was crispy and had the best flavor! We also had tofu and soup, which my husband and mother in-law loved.Service was incredibly fast. It felt like we only had to wait maybe 5 minutes between ordering and receiving our food. Food came out in rounds so it was not overwhelming all at once. We did have to ask for water and tea refills.Overall, would definitely return for food!

0 Stars. They are racist. They will only serve you if you are Chinese. If you’re not, don’t come here. There’s nothing at the door or on their website that mentions they are closed during certain hours of the day. We went there and were told that they were “closed until 4:30” but there were people in there seated and eating (all Chinese, by the way). It was only 10 minutes until 4:30 so we decided to wait outside, and right as we walked out - a group of Chinese people walked into the place - and guess what? They were greeted kindly and got seated immediately. Mind you again this was right after we were told they were closed and to come back later. Upset and confused, we went back in and confronted one of the workers. She had nothing to say, and pointed to a table to seat us. We walked out, disgusted, and we will never eat there ever.

Are you craving meat sticks? Look no further! My friend Nick and I decided to try this place out, and it turned out to be amazing! When we first entered the restaurant, I was surprised that there was a QR code, which was to wait in line. We went on a weekday, so we did not have to wait. I'm assuming if you go on the weekend, the QR code will be utilized. When we first sat down, the waitress insisted that we get the special, but we came for the meat sticks. I was also surprised that the chair was super comfortable. The menu can be a bit confusing, so just read out what you want. We ordered the fried rice, beef & lamb sticks, fish tofu, fish balls, enoki mushrooms, and green beans. Everything was great except the green beans will make the mouth numb. Overall, I would come again to try other items on the menu or maybe I will just get the meat sticks.

been here twice now and left loving everything i ate! if you're looking for a restaurant in central jersey that specializes in skewers or has great north-eastern chinese cuisine, this is the spot. the seasoning on the skewers is perfect, just the right amount of spicy. they have many many options for skewers, so i recommend you play around and try different ones! also highly recommend the peanut sauce jelly noodles with cabbage, its so good! chicken and mushroom noodle soup is a go-to as well. for dessert i got beijing yogurt, and they give it to you in a cute lightbulb bottle too. super refreshing to finish off the meal with! service is quick and ambiance is loud and bustling. a lot of college students come here on the weekends for fun. only complaint is that wait times are LONG on the weekends. there is a QR code in the entrance for you to scan and join the waiting list. they seem to be a bit chaotic and disorganized with all the people asking about their tables, but its a newer establishment so i assume they're still getting the hang of managing everything promptly. DEFINITELY reserve if you don't want to wait long times. however we usually join the wait list and walk around the outside plaza to look around while we wait.

Went on a Friday night with my family and the place was packed. Food was declicous here when they just opened. The service was pleasant although it takes a while. Ambiance is pretty cool. Second guessing whether we should return since the wait times were beyond long.

Great place for skewers and if ure craving something spicy! We ordered a few things to try ! The ladies know minimal english so we did a lot of pointing on the menu. Must try their yogurt drink. It comes in a cute light bulb bottle and taste really good (if u like yogurt/probiotic drinks) Definitely order skewers ! We had special beef and special lamb and fish tofu! Foil series, we got the duck blood which comes with vermicelli and enoki mushrooms. Oysters is a must and we liked the scallop also! Overall nice place to eat if you like skewers! We definitely want to come back to try their stews in clay pot! The ladies were nice despite minimal language barrier!
Tasty and welcoming, I always get my food light oil and light

food itself was very mid, the skewers are not roasted over a traditional coal fire, so everything was soft and very oily. the other dishes were also very oily and bland. plus they have 18% mandatory tipping which is unusual for a Chinese restaurant of its nature.

We had diarrhea after eating their food. The dishes are overpriced and plates are not clean at all. They gave us used napkins.
