In New York, I found authentic West Coast charcoal grilled beef ribs and marbled beef that had been marinated in advance. When grilled over charcoal, the fat slowly seeped out, and the meat was so tender that it didn't require much effort to chew.

Good food, hot free fried dough.
Had a great meal at Xi Top BBQ! We tried three different beef dishes, cold noodles, stir-fried squid tentacles, and braised pork ribs with green beans.

The cold noodles were a great pairing with the BBQ, and ordering a mix of dishes made this a fun meal to share. Would definitely come back with friends!

Xi Top BBQ is a popular spot in NYC known for its authentic Chinese Northeastern BBQ with Korean influence. The restaurant offers two entrances, with the right side featuring charcoal grilling, which provides a more fun and flavorful experience. The big beef, short ribs, and stir-fried squid are highly praised for their delicious taste. Diners also enjoy the three different beef dishes, cold noodles, stir-fried squid tentacles, braised pork ribs with green beans, and the dumplings, which are very distinct and delicious. The cold noodle with sweet and curry sauce is a favorite, and the BBQ lamb is tastier than beef. While the beef kebabs are considered lackluster, the other meats and the provided spice mix and peanut sauce are favorites. The quality of food is consistently good, and the service is attentive and friendly, often anticipating guests' needs. Despite being a little pricy and busy during dinner, it's recommended to put your name down early since they do not accept reservations. The classic joint atmosphere, combined with the excellent flavor from the charcoal grill, makes Xi Top BBQ a top choice for BBQ lovers. Visitors often leave full and happy, enjoying great food, great service, and a cozy environment.
