    Skewers
    Catherine Y.

    First off, I have to commend the servers. The raffle concept is genuinely fun and a creative idea for customers, but it honestly seemed like a nightmare for the staff. The machine kept jamming, and with only two servers on the floor from what I saw, they were constantly running back and forth to troubleshoot it on top of everything else they were already managing. As for the food, I felt it was overpriced for what you get. The place was so busy that there really wasn't much guidance or explanation. We had to ask twice just to understand how the raffle system worked, and there was also a small rack grill next to the skewer grill that no one explained, so we were left confused about its purpose. If you're going for the atmosphere, to hang out, chat, have a few beers, and snack, then sure, it works. But "snacks" is really the right word here because that's exactly how the skewers felt. The portions were small and expensive, and I honestly don't think two people could leave full without spending close to $100. I've been to places with larger selections and better value. (We bought a corn dog and pan fried dumplings after we left) That said, the raffle itself was a fun touch. My husband won a small stuffed capybara, which was cute. But when I played, I ended up waiting a long time because people ahead of me had 50 skewers' worth of raffle entries, and with the machine constantly jamming, the process dragged.

    I really love that the skewers rotate and you don't have to worry about it too much. I also wish we came hungrier to try more skewers and more side dishes. Overall, the vibe was so cute and it was exciting to see our table neighbor try to chug beer in a small amount of time to get $$ off their bill. Little games like that and returning skewers for a chance to win a prize makes it exciting! The quality of skewers were pretty good but a little bit pricey compared to other places.

    Meat skewers

    Located in the back of the food court where the bar use to be in Tangram, you'll find this place with a self serve area. You get seated and you walk up to find the various selections of meat. You take your selections and walk towards the end where you will find someone to count your items to put on your tab according to your table number. If you order any "specials" like ready to eat kitchen things, then you order via the iPad at your table. As a first time experience, it wasn't bad, meat was fresh and tasty with their various dipping powders. They also gifted a flower to moms on Mother's Day! Note: the bill can add up really fast!

    I easily made a reservation for a group of us. We got confused finding the place and realized it's in Tangram's food hall. They had large screens and were playing the World Cup. You grab skewers and tell them your table number or scan the table bracelet. You can order à la carte. They have seasoning packets. The cocktails were cheap but small and light. The skewers were seasoned well. In the summer it can get hot in there. For every 10 skewers, you can try the crane for prizes, like stuffed animals and gift certificates.

    The seasonings were probably the best part and the order of chives. The skewers are pretty small, not much meat and doesn't really fill you up. A bit pricey imo for the amount of food. We had to get a second dinner afterwards. The service however is really accommodating, didn't charge us a cake fee. Probably the only spot open in the late hours of the food court.

    Very lively and modern Chinese aesthetic. I loved the claw machine if you win for every 10 skewers you complete and put into the table. The service was friendly a little slow but I will attribute to how big the area is and multiple guest needing the servers. I love the selections of skewers you get to choose in the open refrigerator. The amount of meat was good for each skewers and the cuts was perfect. I enjoyed you had to do some of your own cooking so that was very fun. The cooked dish from the kitchen was the pan fried noodles, Eggplants, Enoki Mushrooms and the Scallops. The skewers after cooking were very tender and flavorful. I especially loved the Pig Intestine as it was very crispy after cooking. Definitely a fun place to bring friends and family to hang out.

    It was a fun concept and I've been wanting to try a skewer spot with the rotating grill ever since the other one in Flushing closed a couple of years ago. We arrived right around when they opened for lunch and had to wait a bit for a table. No one told us what to do but I knew that we had to bring the bracelet with us while picking out skewers. They had a wide selection of ingredients available (vegetables, beef, pork, lamb, chicken etc) and I picked out some lamb, cumin lamb and beef tongue skewers. I don't know how the staff could tell the difference as the skewers all looked similar but they scanned the bracelet and I brought the skewers back to my table. They also had a fridge full of cold foods and oysters. At first the skewers on our grill weren't moving at all and it wasn't hot at all. After looking at the other tables, it turned out that our grill and smoke exhaust weren't even on so we had to flag down someone to help us. The chopstick/wet wipe kit on each seat was pretty useful. Tissues were hung above the grill. The skewers took a while to cook as our grill wasn't heated up yet. The cumin lamb skewer tasted the best to me. I think it would be helpful if they had a guide for how long to cook each type of skewer at the table. The smoke exhaust was right above the grill and blocking the light so the table also had a little lamp on the side to shine onto the meats to see if they were cooked or not. Check was paid at the table. There looked like to be an outdoor smoking area so if you're dining in, I'd recommend asking for a table away from the patio. Overall it was a fun concept to try but I won't be going back as you can get a lot more food from other skewer spots in flushing for the same amount of money. It's probably a more fun spot at night time then during lunch hours.

    This was something fun to do as we arrive to flushing. I think the experience would have been better if the waiter allowed us to go to the bar and pick out our skewers instead of looking at the menu. The visual of the skewers would have allowed me to try more options inside of picking things I read on the menu. Place is clean and wasn't busy when we went. I would try another skewer bbq place so I can compare.

    A new Chinese skewer spot just opened up in Tangram Mall, and it's already drawing big crowds so expect a wait. I waited almost an hour for a table of two, but once seated, the experience was fun and lively. They offer a skewer buffet where you can choose from a wide variety of options, from different meats and seafood to veggies, plus several appetizers to start. There's also a full bar, which is a nice touch if you're waiting or enjoying the meal. The different kinds of skewers are very flavorful and fresh! One of the fun highlights is at the end of your meal you put all your used skewers into a machine to redeem a prize, which adds a playful element to the experience. My only complaint is the environment inside. There are no windows, and with the grills constantly on, it gets very hot and humid, which can be uncomfortable while dining. Overall, it's a great spot for skewer lovers and worth checking out if you don't mind the wait and the heat.

    Some places are about the food. Some are about the energy. @gan.blaze somehow does both. Hidden inside Tangram Mall, this new BBQ skewer spot pulls you into a world of glowing lights, live singers, smoky grills, and tables filled with laughter and empty skewer sticks. The skewers keep coming, the cocktails keep pouring, and the fun doesn't stop--especially when you exchange your finished sticks for a chance to win prizes. Between the music, games, crafted drinks, and skyline views outside, it feels less like dinner and more like a full night experience.

    Bibimbap
    Lily L.

    What an interesting concept to have in Tangram. I have been meaning to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint! They staff started off with taking out order nd then after, we were given a bracelet. We were able to go up and pick up extra skewers as well as sizes and just tap the bracelet to add these items to our bill! The only thing is some food items such as the Fried Noodles, Naengmeyon and the Bibimbap have to be ordered with a server. Starting off, the Bibimbap was very basic, I do not think I will be ordering it again. However, the Naengmeyon and the Fried Noodles were absolutely delicious! We ordered another bowl of each to the table once we started getting in the groove of eating. The skewers were also great and the server notified us on how long it takes to cook them in the beginning of the meal so you have to pay attention! Definitely had a great time with my friends and it was nice that they had dishes other than the skewers so that we were able to start eating while they were cooking. My only complaint was that we were seated near the front and they had this changing screen that made a very loud and not enjoyable sound.

    A good late night place to go. They close at 3 AM. The servers were friendly and walked us through the process. The food took a little bit to grill so definitely not a place to go if you're starving or looking for a quick bite.

    definitely prefer this place to chubby skewers and its worth the experience if youve never been but probably not somewhere id go back. i thought they had a good selection of meat and flavors - favorites were black pepper beef and cumin lamb. the skewers are smaller but also cheaper so you can try a larger variety. its a fun place to go with a large group. there were small misfunctions like the skewer counter but theres a lot going on and they seemed short of staff.

Service (5/5): This is a self-cook, manning your own meat establishment. The food comes out prepared on trays at fairly quick speed. Burners worked well and were changed out when burned. The burner seemed small but we were able to cook fast enough to keep everyone happy. Food (4/5): For 6 of us (4F & 2M), we ordered just the right amount of food: Meat Lover's Stair Combo, Beef combo, veggie platter, 2 rice. I'd say that all of the meat was super tender but nothing stood out too much. None of the meat was marinated except for 1 meat in the stair combo that turned out to be everyone's favorite. For all that food it was about $40/pp. A free small cup of Hershey's vanilla ice cream at the end of the meal. Overall, had a great time and good food!
