All the portions were rather small and was not served hot. Didn't really like the spice flavorings of any skewers. Also there was some sort of unpleasant after taste. It could be just me. Maybe that spice is an acquired taste. The good: squid was tender. But you get 4 tiny pieces on a stick.

Not sure what the review under me was talking about that there is a weird after taste. Perhaps…read moreshe's referring to the numbing taste? That's typical of Szechuan food. My skewers were served hot and it was delicious. Back in Szechuan this is typically street food. Usually they sell you a handful of raw skewers and you stick the raw skewers in the hotpot to boil until cooked. You consume while standing in front of the cart. This one however was served to you cooked in either a bag (if you order maybe 2 pcs) and in a tall cup if you order more than a few. The flavor was good. Very typical of Szechuan hotpot. I loved it. The serving is also typical of a skewer stick, few pieces on a stick. Price was averaging $1.50 each which was also typical I also ordered the rose jelly. That's also typically eaten with this kind of food, because it's spicy and numbing, you cook down with the sweet and cold brown sugar or rose jelly. This was my second try and I'd try every time I'm in flushing.

So instead of ordering another dish, we decided to just get something from this stand, which is located across the restaurant. You're immediately greeted by the amazing aroma coming from the meat skewers. We ordered the chicken & lamb, both for only $1.50 each. The lamb was very flavorful with the paprika powder and the meat was tender. As for the chicken, I didn't ask for paprika because I can't handle spicy foods. So my chicken ended up to be not as flavorful. Nonetheless it was very delicious and juicy. A lot of stands have overcooked and dry meat but this stand cooks them just right. It's a quick, cheap and tasty snack that I'd recommend you try.

There are at least 15 different skewer options, along with other fun fried snacks and vegetables. The skewers are grilled over charcoal, and the smoke was so prominent that we had to stand 10-15 feet away to avoid it. We knew it was going to be worth it. We got a couple of each chicken gizzard, lamb kebab, chicken heart, beef kebab, and pork belly ($2 each), listed in the order of my personal favorites. I loved the crunch of the chicken gizzard the most and honestly could have eaten at least five of them myself. The lamb kebab wasn't too gamey, and the cumin seasoning was perfection. The other three kebabs were flavorful, but weren't quite as memorable. Overall, the skewers had an intensely charred, smoky flavor that's hard to replicate without a charcoal grill.
