How has this not been reviewed yet?! Located within New World Malls food court, this small unassuming skewer shop will blow your mind. I've had the skewers from the Chinese BBQ carts you'll find all over Queens, and I adore those, but these have won my favor. Yelp lists the spot as Korean but that might not be right - Google Translate puts their name as Indonesian, while fellow Yelper Ben L. thinks it might be Northern Chinese.
I ordered lamb, beef, chicken gizzard, and squid head.
All that came to just $9. $2 per skewer, except for the squid which was $3. Surprisingly the squid was my least favorite, nothing was wrong with it, but the other meats were better. I asked for them spicy and watched them dredge the meat in a chili powder spice mix, then into some neutral bread crumbs.
The result is magic. Tender, my god so tender. The beef in particular explodes with juiciness with each bite. I was shocked at how much I loved the gizzards though. Yeah, fried gizzards are OK, but these were huge, I didn't know they even got so big. And they were also tender, how they managed to not overcook them or just crispy-fry them to the point where you no longer know what you're eating is beyond me, but they've got their technique down.
You need this in your life. The best part is the skewers are small enough that you can still eat other things in the food court. If you have the self control to not fill up on these of course ;) read more
