Super chill spot, relaxed vibe on a late friday night. Ordered a whole grip of different skewers, along with the pea shoots and oysters.Everything tasted super fresh, packed with flavor and some satisfying heat. On the pricier side for sure if you're ordering to fill up. My waiter was super helpful in identifying what skewers were which and had some great recommendations for future orders.I'd love to come back with a group to try the whole fish and that soju watermelon I keep seeing around.Vegetarian options: Several veggie options, both as sides and grilled items. Some vegetarian rice and noodle options as well.
This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool and the staff is also really helpful with explaining the dishes. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about. Food is pretty good, some Chinese BBQ and some their main dishes. They even gave me a Lotus dessert, it is very refreshing. Highly recommended!

After the owner and the chef changed, both the food and the service got worse. Their waitress can sing on the stage, but they don’t allow guests to sing anymore. This used to be a very cool feature of theirs, but too sad it’s gone now.

This place was under a new owner and new chef a few weeks ago. Our family preferred the old owner and old chef. The food was good but not as good as before, maybe it was just a personal bias but I think our family will probably not be visiting again.

I went to get some Maoxuewang today, hahaha, there was no blood in it. Only tripe and lunch meat. It was the first time I ate Maoxuewang without blood. Laughing to death~

We ordered beef soup, shrimp balls, chicken, lamb and beef tendon kebabs. Beef soup and shrimp balls were okay. The kebabs were took forever to cook. I asked not to put kumin on my last kebabs but they forgot. We spent 1.5 hours there and most of the time was waiting for the kebabs. We don't like kebabs, loud music and the long wait.

Shockingly small kebabs. I’m from NYC and this type of restuarants are everywhere in Chinatown there and they are usually 1-2 dollars but triple the size. 8$ for 3 babysize kebabs that are the size of my girl friend’s thumb-nails is insane. Also if you order hot items and cold items (ice rice) they will just bag them together for you. Maybe they have no competition here but not cool

We had a skewer phase, and Yeon-Gil is probably one of the best in town out of all we tried. However, it’s pricey, and you can’t get full without spending quite a bit. The vibe and service are great, and it’s very suitable as a late night snack.When in doubt, get the lamb skewer!

Food no good wife not happy me no happy can't catch attention of the workers food not seasoned well lamb smells like wet cat son would not eat n he eats everything.
Food is ok but they certainly charge you premium for it. It would be justified to some folks if they server late night as they claimed on their schedule but the reality is they will just randomly drop your order if they don't feel like to do it, which would be acceptable if they let customer know right away, but nooo, they will accept it and have you wait for it and say sorry we couldn't fulfill it an hour later. I know because I work late and order from them from time to time and this happened way more often than it should, why am I still ordering from them you ask? Because only a handful of restaurants open at late night, we need more competition because restaurants like this got spoiled and won't suffer any consequences from actions like this and they know it.

Saw an Instagram collab, looked cool but in person it was quiet and not busy... They don't take your order you have to do it on your phone... They give you hard cold peanuts... Extremely expensive! Still hungry after spending $30. I saw their posts of the skewers that looked huge but in person the chicken is skinny and tiny and only filled 1/3 of the stick. What a scam! How embarrassing to post full skewers online but serve some thing that can't feed a baby.

Pros:- the skewers r flavorful (bttr than fatni imo)- the beef noodle soup is warm & just the right amount of spicy- they also have a place to keep the skewer warm - they are open till 2 am- they play cantonese musicCons:- the food is pricy- the oysters are not very fresh & overall the flavor is lacklusterif you like foodie content, follow @m0nsterati on tiktok for more :)

Tried about 5 types of skewers like lamb, beef, veg. They were all sweet except the lamb. I expected normal Chinese skewers not sweet meat. ?
