    Probably will return. We made a wrong turn from going to Beijing House, so ended up here. No frill decor, decent food and good service, with one young man serving. Per the Michelin guide, this restaurant operates by husband & wife team, Hongfeng Li and Ling Wu who are from Shenyang 沈阳, the provincial capital of Liaoning, one of three northeast provinces that collectively called Dongbei 东北, the rust belt. Xinjiang, in the northwest, has sandstone hills, named Flaming Mountains 火焰山. Not sure they've any relation. But skewers 烤串 are popular in both regions. The kitchen seems to extends to the front. I hear the clunking of the wok but don't smell any cooking fragrance - good ventilation. We've A4 Malatang 麻辣烫 E22 Grilled eggplant 蒜蓉茄子 D3 Chongqing spicy chicken 重庆辣子鸡 A4 is way too salty, even for me, a salt lover. Three whole shrimps (with heads and tails) have thick black veins, are over cooked. Eggplant and chicken are very flavorful. Initially we ordered Spicy noodles 鱼香面 The chef yelled from the kitchen that he doesn't have it, in Chinese. So both I and the server laughed, who doesn't have to relay it to me. "What doesn't he have?" I asked "The spice." The server said. They serve beers.

    Tampa doesn't have much Chinese food so this place is something. Got the grilled fish, pork rib stew, and sweet sour pork. That sweet sour pork always hits and not many spots even do it. Fish was fine. Definitely not LA or NY level but it holds it down

    I dream of this place ever since I've had it. The meat skewers remind me of the ones I eat when I visit family in China. Hands down, some best flavoring I've ever tried, I recommend the beef skewers for sure! The enoki mushroom dish was DELICIOUS. I love a good enoki entree. The cucumber salad had good flavoring, very savory. It's a good place to order a little of each and see what you like, and order more if you enjoy a specific skewer. I would come back here so often if I lived here. Give this restaurant a try!!

    What a great find! LET ME PUT YOU ON! Great mom and pop restaurant! The past two times I've gone, I've been really impressed with service and authenticity. Personally, I find it a good sign that there were plenty of Asians in and out of the restaurant while we were there. Definitely will return often!! Tried a bunch of different dishes I really wouldn't normally choose, like the chicken feet. It's not like your braised and fall off the bone chicken feet at dim sum. There's more chew to it but it wasn't bad! Huge assortment of skewers to choose from. My usual go tos are chicken heart, chicken gizzard, mushrooms, prawns, and pork belly. My partner likes the lamb but I do not like lamb in general. They are all seasoned with like a cumin and peppery mixture. Mapo tofu was very numbing spice! I LOVED. not for everyone tho so this is your warning. Vegetables to go with meal, the grilled eggplant was heavily garlicky and I'm a hardcore garlic girl so LOVE. Green beans are also a must have! The eggplant in garlic sauce is also yummy! Very saucy so be sure to order rice. The beef noodle soup had a great savory flavor. I loved the texture of the noodles. Not pictured was the chunking spicy chicken and the stir fried beef with peppers and leak. Chicken was so crispy and not too overly spicy unless you ate a dried chili with it. The beef dish was recommended to us by who I'm assuming is the owner. She been there every time we've gone. It was yummy!

    Always great and unique food. Everything was always well seasoned and flavorful. This place gives me a glimpse into the rich history of chinese food. Must try when in Tampa.

    I've heard that the food is inconsistent. But decided to go try it anyway. We were the only table there to dine in on a Sunday. The meat skewers were decent but the squid skewer was really not as pic on the menu. It didn't look very pricy but when we were given the bill, everything adds up to be around $100 for lunch for two people.

    Flaming Mountain may be my new go to place for Szechuan food in the Tampa area. They have a variety of hot and spicy items that are well executed. I loved the Chongqing Spicy Chicken with the crispy fried chicken pieces, chili peppers, and peanuts. The Twice Cooked Pork Belly was solid as well. Service was fast and efficient, with the servers quick to take your order and the food quick to come out. However, just be aware that the store is pretty small. If you have a large party, there's a good chance you won't be able to fit or it will be a long wait for enough tables to open up. The serving sizes are also a little small for some dishes. But overall, still a very solid place that I will be coming back to again :)

    Fried cumin lamb

    We decided to check out Flaming Mountain this weekend in hopes of enjoying some skewers. Unfortunately, no skewers were to be found. We stopped in on Sunday afternoon. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our service was great. As soon as we sat down, we were informed that no skewers were available as they were short on cooks. This was pretty disappointing as we drove up from St Pete specifically for the skewers, but we decided to try some other options while we were there. We decided to go with Dan Dan noodles, fried cumin lamb, and the mapo tofu. We placed our order and grabbed a few drinks out of the cooler. Our food came out quickly. First out was the Dan Dan noodles followed by the lamb and tofu. We tried the noodles first. They were decent. Sesame was the only thing we really tasted. The fried cumin lamb was next. It was super flavorful. It was combined with sweet potatoes and onions. We loved it. The mapo tofu was last and our favorite. It had a great depth of flavor. It was nicely spicy, numbing, and had us sweating. We did have to ask for rice with the tofu and it probably should have been served with it. Overall, we enjoyed our visit. We were a bit disappointed we couldn't get skewers, but the mapo tofu and lamb were exceptional dishes. We will return and call before to verify they have a proper staff on hand.

    Braise Beef noodle soup
    Boon C.

    I have visited this place three time. I can said Tampa finally has a good Chinese BBQ place. This is a popular place now in Tampa. First come first serve. No reservations. So either go early or late. Space is limited. The BBQ need some time to cook, so order some easy cook items while waiting. The flavor of the marinated sauce is one of favorite. Cumin sauce with their secret ingredient. I recommend their lamb and beef skew for bbq. They do have some seafood bbq. We try their squid skew. Other than BBQ, they do have dish that very interesting. We got the griddle wok chicken, stir fry chittering, the steam dumpling, braise beef noodles. Their food mainly are spicy. They do have some is not spicy. This type of food is made for northern China due to cold weather. Now is popular everywhere.

    Everything was amazing!!!!! The skewers are exactly how I wanted it I miss them from home!!!! The noodle had a great broth and the noodle had the perfect chewiness! I ate so much here and ended up taking some back to my hotel and ate it later!!! If I come back in Tampa I will definitely come again!

    Eggplant garlic sauce
    Alicia P.

    I don't frequent Asian restaurants a lot. Invited by friends to join them here and I was introduced to several dishes that I wouldn't have ordered on my own and enjoyed everything I tried... there were a couple of dishes that I didn't (wouldn't...) The potatoes were super spicy, as intended. The beef spare ribs were very good! The green beans were super spicy but they were also good. I really liked the chopped beef and egg drop soup. But my favorite dish was the Lazi chicken. I would come back and order that again! I did feel like this establishment was more like a cafeteria set up... very casual... might even be better for take out than eating in, just looking at the tables and chairs. Still, with the right company, I would come back and might even be more adventurous and try something new!

    The bok choy was my favorite so good it was a pretty kool experience authentic Chinese food, you really feel like you have stepped into China walking into this restaurant. The waitress was so friendly and recommended dishes for me to try at home.

    Eggplant with garlic sauce!
    Dave W.

    Charlie and I hosted a fun friends event here. Coty came to guide us through the menu which was mucho appreciated! The menu is huge but everything is flavorful, well seasoned and delicious! We all ordered a ton of food and shared everything which is definitely the way to go! Not everything we ordered arrived probably due to our waiter kind of being new at this. But, we enjoyed everything we got plus the company! Our favorites were the eggplant dishes and grilled meats. The leftovers we took home were plentiful and just as delicious the next day! We can't wait to return! Life is great with fun friends and good food!

    I would have taken pictures, but the food was just too good to wait!!…read moreEverything here is great, but the Dim Sum is amazing. If you can get here between 11-2, they will make some of the best Asian food you have ever had. The shrimp balls are one of a kind. Yes, they are fried (like the sticky lork dumpling), but sometimes you have to make your heart work for a living! The Hong Kong steamed rice (wrapped in a banana leaf!) is a must have. The Shu Mai is another... don't ask, just eat it! I like the pork ribs, but i will admit they are a LOT of gristle...its like eating chicken feet without thinking about chicken feet! We both really loved the chinese broccoli...and if you ask - they will bring you some without oyster sauce! Don't let my weird hang-ups put you off. If you are adventurous, they have 2 full carts of Dim Sum with all kinds of great food. They even have a picture menu of the Dim Sum offerings so you can see what they have before the cart gets to your table.

Points of Reference: Toronto China Town; San Francisco China Town; and Mark's Duck House in northern Virginia (off 50 just outside DC).

    Happiness is a warm embracing chili oil aura eminating from your body. I asked an Asian Foodie…read moregroup for the best places to go and Bejing House was one reply by many. I waited until I was in the area and tried it. I was so impressed that I made a 2nd visit before I made this review. Located in a strip mall west of 275 on Fletcher, the menu is impressive. Once I disvovered, over 20 years ago, the treasure trove of authentic chinese dishes available at many chinese food places. I seldom order the cookie cutter American versions so many people find familiar. This place has Sichuan and Northern Chinese food. The ambiance is perfect, never too loud. The wait staff are young and pleasant. Very helpful and attentive. Plenty of free parking. My first visit blessed me with two cravable dishes that frolic in my mind joyously. The Handmade Noodles w/ Ginger & Scallìon and the Shrimp Rolls. The noodles made fresh every morning were luxurious on the palate, soft and silky with a perfect amount of heat from the chili oil and a subtle fragrant flavor that wooed the senses. The small crispy Shrimp Rolls bursting with delectable flavors was so enticing. I could devour those non-stop. I also had the Tea Smoked Duck and that is the only item I did not relate to. A bowl of seasoning is provided for you to dip your duck pieces as you ate. The duck alone had no appealing flavor. The flavor came as you dip the duck in the 5 spice. The issue was each bite tasted different, too little spice, too much spice and at times the perfect amount. I would much prefer for it to come flavored and spice by a pro in the kitchen so every bite was good. I tried a Choya Plum wine that was pleasant. My 2nd visit began with Sichuan Crispy Chili Wings. Delightful flavor, tossed with chili's, garlic and cilantro in a spicy sauce. An enjoyable amount of heat, covered in that tasty piquant and crispy sauce. The kicker was the addition of a few chunks of fried potatoes also covered in sauce. My sides were some low mein noodles and an amazing string bean dish stir fried with crispy garlic, minced pork and a chili sauce. A must try item. Again, a dish with spicy heat at a perfect pitch. The main attraction came in a small wok over a lit burner and is Griddle Fish. The same dish is also available in about 10 other protein choices. A fabulous dish that had wonderful textures and flavors. The fish however was mushy inside. Likely made with Swai or Tilapia which I detest since they live their lives in excrement. My fault for not thinking before I ordered since I had so many other choices. Delicious if you can get past the inferior fish quality. The desserts were marvelous. Cream Brulee Cheesecake and Yuzu Beignets. Rich and delectable. Beautifully balanced sweetness factor. Wife loved them! Cravable food is everywhere due to the chemicals fast food places use to trick your brain at the expense of your health. To find food you crave because of cooking mastery and the genius blend of the food, herbs and spices...well that is special. This is a special place. COME GET YA SOME!!

Even when it was brought to the table- the food looks good and promising! I was sat right next to the kitchen and to my astonishment, everyone in the kitchen was speaking Spanish!! I always say, THE BEST CHINESE FOOD is always prepared by CHINESE PEOPLE! Nothing against Spanish cooks, but if I'm coming for AUTHENTIC CHINESE FOOD, I want to know that there's someone back there who grew up eating the food they are preparing! With that being said, you can absolutely taste the Spanish influence! I have NEVER had fried rice that is covered in CILANTRO!! What?! The fried rice tasted like Spanish rice. We also ordered the General Tso chicken NOT SPICY. I heard the cook tell our waiter, "you gave them them the wrong one, you gave them the spicy one, did they say anything about it?" My white rice also had a dead bug in it!!! We didn't say anything because we already knew we would not be coming back here. So we just paid for our $83 bill and left, unsatisfied.. and went straight to Dairy Queen for chicken tenders Very disappointed as I had high hopes for a good Chinese restaurant.

I was greeted upon entering and seated at a table immediately -- it took a few minutes for someone to come by my table and take an order, but they answered all of my questions. My order consisted of: 1. Unsweetened iced tea. Likely from the soda fountain but decent. 2. Pork dumplings. Served hot and steamed. The pork is well seasoned and very tasty. . 3. Duck noodle soup, ordered for an egg allergy and not spicy. So let's talk about this duck soup. First of all the broth is not that salty, but has a lot of good flavor. The noodles are perfectly cooked and the vegetables are fresh! The duck is is very very good. Some may find the duck is not tender enough however I really happen to like it. One thing other folks may not like is the fact that the duck comes partially on the bone. At least you know it's freshl! If you order this, make sure to take your time with the pieces of duck! All in all a great spot for a solid meal made to order!

No complaints about the cucumber appetizer either. Not too salty, but still flavorful. The only thing I didn't really like was the flavor of the sweet tea and lemonade it was a bit strange. Everything else was really good tho. I'll definitely be back.
