    Overall good service , Food very fresh , service was very fast 小料自助非常好 强烈推荐的新店 肉串很新鲜,牛舌有两种

    The reason for 1 star because, one of the skewers the meat was sour .. i think it's pork one. If you cannot tolerate rotten meat you can stop reading the rest of what i wrote. After entering the store you'll need to climb the long staircase, it's not seniors friendly. Because it's a rainy day, a girl almost fall down from going down the staircase. On a Saturday night waiting time was about 40mins. Service is good, nice people. Live music available we came on Saturday night, the singers are good however if u were like us being sat next to the singers, it's gonna be sooooo loud. Here's the break down for food we tried: (it's bite size skewers) - Chicken wings is good (spicy one) - pineapple is good only of you cook it over 10 minutes sprinkle some sugar on it - corn is good 糯糯的 - abolone is ok like the one in a can - eel is good but don't like their marinade , very tiny piece - chick feet is ok something different after eating a lot of meat - chicken heart is not fresh - baby squid is not fresh and mushy - broccoli was yellowish( didn't get that) - fish balls is typical fishball like those in hmart, i like bbq fishball - beef tripes is good -beef tongue - very hard to chew not the best part - Australia lamb is tough - all beef are not good quality beef , beef neck meat were so hard to chew, throw it out. - bacon wrap mushroom is good , make sure pick the fresh one, some of them in the tray looks gray - shrimp is good - crawlfish is ok - duck tongue is ok - mini scallops is good -side order fish skin very good Alcohol & drinks are available, cheaper if one of you in the party join membership they'll calculate for you., then you'll get free can leychee dessert. Pineapple beer is good. In conclusion: most meat they are bland even though some are already marinated. Because we had tasted sour meat (pork), rinsed my mouth with alcohol. Idk if we gonna get sick the next day ... So .. I'm sorry to give 1 star, my mind can't get off the sour meat i tasted. Just feel unsafe to come back again. Personally now I'll prefer just go to Korean bbq. Personally

    Came here for a birthday dinner with a friend on Saturday night. Picked this place based on the high reviews, we signed up at the front (upstairs, there's a tablet), we waited for about 30-40min. There's 3-4 chairs directly beneath the stairs leading up to the restaurant on second floor (stairway is very long, this place may not be wheelchair accessible, I didn't see any elevators). We got seated outside which had some nearby heaters. Decoration felt like outdoor camping vibe with lots of flames everywhere. The server got us water upon seating and explained that the seasonings at the table is free but if we want the seasoning nearby the skewer place is extra fee. This is the first time I've heard of charging extra for seasoning...and it's not really cheap either. Skewers selections has a wide range of meats, vegetables is pretty underwhelming. Skewers themselves doesn't have a lot of meat on them considering they're around $1.35 or something...some that has 2 skewers through meats are more expensive. I was pretty disappointed with every skewers TBH: 1) portion is super small 2) tasteless 3) doesn't taste very fresh 3) you cook it yourself 4) can't even enhance the flavor because the "free condiments" are limiting and the actual one that may help is extra $. What really killed it for me was when I tried the squid. It's whole baby squid with eyes, teeth and innards intact. Not cleaned at all. When I bit into it, all the guts came out and was extremely fishy. I don't think a restaurant should be serving squid that hasn't been properly cleaned. Not OK. The total came out to be $100+. We had also ordered some side dishes such as the preserved egg with tofu which wasn't too bad. Overall impression: - decoration: great, that's probably where the restaurant is putting most of its efforts in - service: above average, server was attentive but customers are really just servicing themselves lol - food: very poor - price: does not make sense, especially charging for the condiment that might actually save the flavorless skewers. I think the business model leans into hype and membership for Gen Z group that wants to post to Tik Tok or social media. if you're an actual foodie who wants good food, I'd skip this.

    Stumbled in randomly for skewers - a little disappointed that these didn't rotate automatically. Wait staff are super attentive at clearing plates and refilling water. The skewers selection is good, definitely lots to choose from, ranging from different parts of meats too. The skewers match the price $1.30, so it's nice to just get some to try, but my party definitely walked out hungry for a more fulfilling meal haha. But I think it's great for a late night snack spot to hangout, talk, and eat just a little bit, especially since it does take a little while for the meat to get that smoky taste.

    Atmosphere was really cute and the decor was fun. Selections of skewers were plenty and we enjoyed everything we got. Passion fruit beer was very good, liked it more than the pineapple beer. They seated us all the way on top at the end and it was very very hot and barely any ventilation. We left the place stinking. Wish they can fix the ventilation to enjoy eating more. They have an outdoor section for when it's warmer and excited to see that next time. Also if you don't want to cook for yourself you can have them use charcoal to do it in the kitchen.

    They do have a very large selection of items to choose from, including seafood, vegetables, and even Wagyu. We went as a large group of four adults and four kids, and thanks to our friends having a membership discount, the bill was more manageable. Without that discount, the total would have been close to $500 including gratuities. The one thing that disappointed me a bit was the skewers themselves. Considering the name, I expected them to be a little more "chubby" or thicker, but they were actually fairly small. Overall, it's a fun social dining experience with lots of options, but the DIY cooking style and smaller skewers may not be for everyone.

    This was my first time at the Flushing location and I always thought it was more spacious and lively than the one in Midtown and the quality was consistent. You can put yourself on the waitlist through Yelp on their iPad and luckily, I was there early enough to be the crowd. There is an outdoor seating which can get breezy but feels nice. The indoor seating seems to have live music which would've been amazing! Nevertheless, there were many skewer options available and the set up is easy. Spots like these are so great to just hang with friends over some drink and skewers. Their service was great too, very observant and quick. It can get pricey as things add up and perhaps a bit pricier than the neighborhood spots, but I think it's still a great experience and worth it!

    If you cannot take the stairs or have a stroller, be aware that this location does NOT have elevators. I was able to carry my stroller up but going down I definitely needed friends to help me. If you have an elderly member who cannot walk up the stairs.. this isn't the place to go. Food wise, selection was alright. Felt the skewers were so not filling even after we ate a large amount. You're better off ordering off their menu if you actually want to leave with a full belly. Service was really good and staff were courteous and came by to fill our water pretty often. Live entertainment was alright too but space could be a little cramped.

    First time here and it was a great experience. The skewers were fresh, flavorful, and easy to cook. Everything came out hot and tasted delicious. The atmosphere was lively and fun, making it a great spot to eat with friends. Our waitress Wei was very kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. She gave excellent service and made our first visit even better. We'll definitely be back!

    Third time here and the skewers never disappoint. Make sure to sign up for the membership to get benefits! Jessica the server was great!

    See all

    Meat is super good and the price is unbeatable at $1.30 a skewer! Service is also really good as the serves are really attentive.

Super great vibe for hanging out with friends! We got a variety of the skewers here and I thought that all of the seasoning was great and that the portions were good; the pieces were big so the meat wasn't dry at all. I appreciated how you could customize your spice level for each and even whether you wanted it grilled or fried (for some). We also got a variety of their dishes and I enjoyed each. Amazing food to enjoy with drinks haha.

    Ordered pick up from this place the other day due to an ice rice cravings (my go to place is closed…read moreon Thursdays). So, my boyfriend and I decided to check out the ice rice from this place as well as a couple of other items. Firstly, I got deep fried rice cake skewers. They were just okay because I was expecting some kind of crunch after seeing deep fried. However, there was no crunch at all and it was a little lacking in flavor. I did enjoy it though because it still had a very chewy texture which was what I was looking for. The chicken skewers I liked a lot better. The chicken was tender and although also more lightly seasoned than places, I really enjoyed it! My boyfriend wanted to try the Udon Noodles from the menu as well which I was pleasantly surprised with. The udon noodles were perfectly bouncy and did not feel too oily. And for the star of the show, we got the Milk Tea Chilled Ice. It came with a lot of toppings on the rice varying from taro mochi to herbal jelly and watermelons which were all delicious. The milk tea base is a light Earl Grey Milk Tea and being someone who struggles with black tea sometimes, this black tea was really good! It was nicely floral from the earl grey but not bitter at all! I will definitely be back again to try out a couple more items since they do close pretty late as well. They have a huge fine in area so I will probably try dining in.

It was a bit drafty at the table closest to the doors, but the host was super accommodating and willing to switch our table. He also provided us with some hot tea while we waited - so considerate! We decided on the Mixed Combo B for 2, which comes with pork belly, pork shoulder, brisket, and marinated short ribs. All of the meats are really good. I'm not the biggest fan of pork shoulder, but this was good here! Kimchi stew always hits different at BBQ spots, and Golden Pig's is delicious. We ordered an extra to go! They don't have a takeout menu yet, but the staff was kind enough to pack us some kimchi and rice anyway. Banchan here is simple but done really well. All orders are put in on the tablet at each table. While the layout of the restaurant is still very much similar to Jeong Yook and Baekjeong previously, it's definitely an upgrade. Ventilatation is pretty good but be prepared to still smell a bit after. Prices are super reasonable. Parking is doable but not always the easiest. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Tables were clean and I loved how the chairs can open up and you can put your things inside. We ordered seafood pancake, japchae, combo C Wagyu beef, pork jowl meat, army stew, and fried mushroom with sweet and sour sauce. The combo came with steamed egg and your choice of Kimchi stew/soybean paste stew. I have to say everything was delicious, quality was amazing you can see the nice marbling on their meats! Sometimes when I go to a kbbq, some meats are just meh and tough to eat. But everything was so good. My favorite meat was the marinated short rib. The servers cooked for us and asked us how done we liked our meat and they constantly refilled our kimchi and side salads as well. They provided hot tea and cold water for us too which were stored in really nice carafes. Little small details in this place just elevated the experience for me. I would definitely come back! I think price was very reasonable for a kbbq place as well!
