The food option is vast, great place to come with a large group of family. I had a nice dining experience here. The one constructive criticism I have for this wonderful place is the chef / cooks are heavy handed on salt and sauces for every dish, I would come more often if they can use their sauces - salt - MSG with more sparingly. I want to see this place succeed!

We got- - Braised Pork Bone: the waiter recommended as a Dongbei specialty but it was nothing special, meat was tender though - Boiled Fish: big portion served in a huge bowl. Lots of Sichuan peppercorn but the soup base spicy level is just right paired with rice - Sweet & Sour Pork: must get. Delicious. The pork was fried super thin and crispy and the sauce was just enough to coat and stick on the meat Service was very slow, we waited 20 mins between each dish. The waiter was apologetic as she noted the chef cooks each dish as they come in. They are still relatively new; we were patient and hope they work out the pacing going forward.

Although not a newbie to the Chinese BBQ skewer concept, I was delighted to have my first of…read moreexperience of authentic Chinese skewers in NYC be at Foodie BBQ. Replacing the former Shanxia Snacks, which recently relocated to a spot on East Broadway, Foodie BBQ has kept the same general restaurant layout, but enhanced the interior decor with eye-catching prints of calligraphy, mostly related to food and eating, along the walls, and hanging lanterns of napkin dispensers. Otherwise, the furniture looked the same in its white basic functional aesthetic. We ordered through a QR code. Grilled fresh to order, the food came out relatively quickly. We were able to add in the comments section to make certain skewers non-spicy for our kids. Otherwise, the default included quite a lot of spiciness. My favorites were the lotus root, cauliflower, eggplant, and potato. My kids loved the chicken and mantou. The corn consisted of a bunch of kernels--not a lot of substance there. We spent over $35 pre-tax and pre-tip on a variety of meat, vegetable, and starch skewers for two adults and two toddlers, and I would say it was just enough to satiate all of us. I appreciated that there was a little self-serve area with water and pu-er tea, although the water jugs were usually empty. Service was good and quick, and the bathroom was clean. Overall, I'm thrilled that Foodie BBQ has added to the Chinese culinary diversity in our Manhattan Chinatown. I don't think there is another such BBQ skewer-focused specialist with a storefront in this neighborhood.

Ambiance-wise, it's super casual and the place is clean with plentiful seating despite the small space. Between two people, we ordered: - Baked Chili Tender Beef: I didn't really care for the beef but I really liked the green sauce that came with it and used it to dip other skewers. - Spicy Beef Tripe Skewers with Mixed Vegetables: they were generous with the tripe on this one - Fried Milk Tofu: light & airy - Cauliflower: personal favorite of mine - Beef Finger Meat: favorite of my friend. Note: portions for this one are especially small since well...it's finger meat. - Pineapple Beef: I do like pineapple but wouldn't order this again. - Chicken Skin - Sliced Potato - Lotus Root - Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Wings - Intestines: I think we got pork, not chicken - Zucchini - Chicken Feet in Baked Chili Pepper sauce: Really enjoyed the marinade flavor - Sugarcane Juice We ended up ordering way too much and had to box some items to go. I'd recommend this spot and would come back!

It's really big have a lot of seating space and what I love the most is that they had the TV with the World Cup game playing so it was absolutely lit for me. I order chubby chicken with vegetable fried rice and my brother got Wagyu&broccoli with chow mein. The food was really good; the chicken was crunchy yet soft and tender inside. Also, the wagyu taste really yummy. However, the only thing I didn't love was the vegetable rice. The veggies on the rice felt a bit raw and the overall flavor had a weird charcoal after taste. I will be going back though. Last but not least the service was very pleasant I hope they dont change.

There's a 1.5 hour seating limit but that was just enough time to eat and drink to our hearts's content. The Sapporo came quickly in a frozen glass followed closely by our first round of chicken. There are many flavours to choose from and my favourite was soy garlic. It was a great balance of crispy and saucy. You get the choice between large drums or wings but I prefer the smaller wings as you get a better crisp-to-meat ratio. The deal was awesome and would definitely come again!

If you want a bigger portion with better soup or if you are here with multiple people and want small plates, go here instead. I was at this restaurant also listed as Mr. Fish a little while back for dinner. As they had just opened 2 weeks prior, it was 12% off if you paid cash or posted an image. This is one of the many recent spots serving Suan Cai Yu/酸菜鱼/sour vegetable fish such as Nai Brothers and Fish With You in Flushing. By comparison to Mr. Fish, the prices are a good amount higher but the portions are a lot larger with the one person combo being $25.99 (which also comes with rice) and a choice of three toppings with there being another 10 or so topping choices if you order online. I hope they add a lunch deal version of their signature as currently it's more standard Szechuan options. Also, they only use the pricier snakehead fish instead of giving a choice between snakehead and sole. The people inside were friendly and it was well air conditioned. I ordered the combo for one which comes with your choice of soup and went with the for $12.95 with sole which is alternatively $15.95 for snakehead fish. The combos come with a choice of three small plates if two or more order which is a plus but not if you are here solely. I ordered it as spicy with tofu skin, enoki mushrooms, and black fungus with the other option being listed as vermicelli (with there also being more options online as noted such as quail eggs.) The soup was stronger flavored than Nai though not as spicy as some other Szechuan places though this however might be since I didn't get their signature spicy version. My favorite of the add-ons was the tofu sheets as it absorbed the flavor well as expected but the enoki and black fungus/wood ear had good texture. The fish was good and plentiful with a nice texture and there was plenty of it. The mustard greens were cooked nicely as were the other leafier greens. Overall, I preferred it over Nai and don't mind the stipend as I got a lot of leftovers.
