The restaurant itself is a little hole in the wall next to an auto body shop off of the Lincoln highway. When you are seated and order you skewers, the staff, who were super caring, fills the grill with red hot charcoal embers. The skewers automatically rotate and cook in about 3-5 minutes. The meat was so tender, juicy, and flavorful! read more

Food were delicious! Coal BBQ with lamb and beef skewers. Also with bacon wrapped mushroom, okra. Ordered mutton soup and sauté three pork internal organs which tasted pretty good. Only the seating are old, not upgraded restaurant that makes experience not in the highest end. They also try to charge 18% tip. read more

Yes!!! They're back!!! This is a Korean Chinese ( aka Yanji style) meat skewer place. Sooooooooo rare to find in Edison. Flavor is very authentic. So happy that I can have hometown food again!!!!!! They upgraded the set-up, now you don't need to wait for waiter to pour water anymore and don't need to constantly flipping the skewer anymore. read more

If I could leave a negative star, I absolutely would. Being that one star is the lowest, then so be it. I walked in and hostess was preparing meat and coughing all over it. Not once did she cough in her shoulder or crease of her arm. She proceeded to ask if she could help me, while she still had gloves on that were covered in E. Coli. I immediately bolted out of there. If you value your health and safety...do NOT eat here...you've been warned. read more

the food here was pretty good (I got the lamb and beef tendon skewers and also the shrimp fried rice). very nice place to eat and not very busy [at least when I was there]. service is friendly and the waitress was very kind helping us as it was our first time eating skewers. read more

Meng Gao Yang BBQ - signature lamb skewers and beef tendon meat skewer - Chinese Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Hard to put an exact rating on this place. On the one hand it's expensive yet a little bit dumpy inside and located in the same housing complex as a meineke. Jersey gonna jersey. I would say every time we come here with my friends we can expect to pay around 40 a head. On the other hand the food is good overall and it's byob. It makes for a cozy atmosphere to enjoy a drink and eat with friends. The best dish here was the eggplant with potato. It was spicy and the potatoes inside were so good it tasted like a hash brown. I get it everyone I come here. The lamb skewers weren't too far behind. With the dipping spices they are served with they taste quite good. Other good skewers included the pork with enoki mushrooms and the fish tofu. Everything is pretty fresh I guess since they get good business here. The cold buckwheat noodles was not that good. You are better off ordering it at an actual Korean restaurant. Something tasted off in the flavorand it was a bit duller and not as sour. Noodle texture wasn't as elastic either. I ordered the spicy stir fry advertised on the front page of the menu. It was fairly standard Sichuan stirfry fare, with the option of adding various mushrooms and meats and seafoods like squid. A strong amount of Sichuan peppercorn dominated the taste. They seem to be run by ethnic Koreans from China and the two waitstaff speak both mandarin and Korean. read more

Both the food and the service are not satisfying! We ordered the sweet and sour crispy pork and fried dry tofu. 1. There is a small piece of foil in the dry tofu dish! The restaurant could not explain why. I doubt the sanitary conditions. 2. After I complained, the restaurant refunded me $10 out of $14 of the tofu. This is annoying as they should refund me the whole dish. But they instead still want to charge the portion I ate. 3. Both dish does not taste good. The pork is too sweet and the tofu is not salty at all. read more

Very hesitant to write the review... because I know once this place gets more reviews then it'll get popular. But the restaurant is very delicious and the owner and staff definitely deserve recognition. I'm so happy there is finally a place in the nyc/nj area that is doing legit lamb skewers like in China. This is something I crave every time I go back to China, and now I don't need to fly for 14 hours to experience this anymore! The lamb is definitely the star, but definitely try the other meats as well, beef tendon has a nice texture to it but you need to cook it for a bit. Also the auto rotate of the skewers is a nice touch! The hot dishes are really good as well, authentic northern Chinese taste (this comes from someone who grew up in a northern Chinese household). The pork ribs in sour cabbage soup . We also tried the shredded pork, fried rice, dumplings are all super good. Also if your table bbq isn't large enough they also cook some skewers in the kitchen for - things that take a while like chicken wings. Right now it's byob! And for any other Chinese bbq lovers out there you know bbq and beer go perfect together. 4 star only because they seem a little understaffed and the hot food came out a little slow. read more

The service is amazing with the staff always there to help you. The food is good with the beef and fried rice being some the best in my opinion. read more

The Good: Affordable prices, Great atmosphere. The unique cooking of the skewers was the best experience. The workers are busy but friendly, I never felt ignored. Ordering 10 lamb skewers, and shrimp fried rice, I wasnt sure the portion sizes. I was able to share half and still feel full with an order of rice. The spice they give you is very tasty as well. The Bad: The lamb wasnt seasoned, and was very fatty. Not a deal breaker but worth mentioning. Small, there were people standing by the door waiting for an open seat, to small for decent waiting area. Overall: I recomend worth to try at least once if your in the area looking for a good Mongolian restaurant. 3/5 Good read more

I've been to this BBQ for 3 times. Food quality is getting worse with noticeable smaller portion of the same food each time. I ordered some skewers, they were very dry and not marinated properly, maybe not fresh, got diarrhea at night. Service is unbelievably bad. The owners are very rude, don't want to respond unless it's check time. I paid 15% tips after the unpleasing meal, but the owner was not satisfied and yelled at us. OMG, your service is worth an apologize!!! Will not run the risk again. read more

I've been here multiple times and each time I got the lamb leg, skewers and their cold dish appetizer. I've had lamb leg in China on grill for the first time and it was very delicious. This place is on par. Must try the lamb leg!!!! Lamb skewers are amazing too. The owners are very nice. I miss this place so much and next time in town, I will for sure hit up this place. read more

Do not be turned off by the fact that this place is behind a car mechanic place....come in anyway! I came here on a whim, because the original place I wanted was too packed and the Food Gods must've helped because this was so much more memorable. My family and I came here for my birthday dinner and we came prepared with our BYOB bottles of wine, which I am thankful for because there is no liquor stores nearby.The only con to our visit is that the wait for a table can get pretty long. People like to come and sit and just take their time drinking, grilling and eating, so we waited a good 40 minutes to sit. This did however give us plenty of time to look around and see what people were ordering. We wanted to do the dumplings, as they were highly recommended, but sadly they had run out. We did do an array of meats, from chicken, steak and lamb. The chicken was by far my favorite. The MAIN THING to order is their delicious fried rice! I had always been turned off about rice that is ham and shrimp, like it's too much going on, but this made it work. It was nice and soft, plus pipping hot! We ended up getting two rounds of it for 4 people. As for other dishes we ordered the sweet and sour chicken, which was just honey glazed chicken...it was SO SWEET..maybe too sweet...like instant cavities sweet. I would definitely return, more for the experience than the actual food. It would be a great place to come with a group of friends to just eat and booze it up a few hours. So, if you haven't yet, come check them out! read more

Fun, tasty, and authentic place to be in! You cook the skewers by yourself on top of flaming coals, and it's really fun. Personally, I don't like the lamb skewers that much because it's tasteless lol. Besides that, I'd strongly recommend pork intestine as well as chicken wings. I love them so much!! Everything is so juicy. The owner of the restaurant came teach us how to cook the skewers because we were really suck at it lmao. And he told us not to worry about getting sick of eating uncooked offals/meat because most of the skewers that serve to you are already cooked by poaching. Definitely come again!!! read more

The beef and pork taste like it had been keeping in the fridge for a year. Nothing represent Chinese BBQ. The service was very rude feels like I owe her a lot of money. She only drop the food on our table and disappear. We wanted to add something else to our order but we could not find her. They even chase me out of the restaurant saying that we are not tipping enough to 18%. We tip about 10% while the service was bad enough deserving none. read more

Was in the area visiting my sister, who goes to Rutgers and decided to stop here for a late lunch. Since our family is from Changchun (Northeast China), we grew up chomping down on lamb skewers whenever we were back in our hometown visiting relatives. The seasoning at this place for their lamb skewers is SPOT ON. Exactly like how I remembered it when my parents would send me back to China for summers during my childhood. They start you with little appetizers and they were all so good too. We got the traditional/house lamb skewers and the XinJiang lamb skewers; while both were tender the XinJiang lamb skewers were far more flavorful and their spice combination is amazing. You have the option of grilling it in front of you by yourself or they'll grill it for you and bring it out. We opted for grilling by ourselves and were told to grill on the bottom, and once it's cooked, put the skewers on top of the rack to keep warm. We came at an odd hour during a weekday so it was not busy and the server definitely kept up and food came out fast. Will certainly be back again if I'm in the Edison area!!! read more

Skewers! My favorite! Came here starving, we ordered special lamp, heart, fish tofu, mushroom and some veggie. The stove has two layers, with the first layer to cook and second layer to lay the food. Looked so delicious to me. I especially liked their mushroom and pork combo, which was chewy and juicy. Don't forget to use the check-in coupon for 10% off. read more

Came here with a coworker, we ordered and shared the lamb skewers, sweet and sour pork and two orders of rice neither of us were truly impressed. the lamb was pretty good though lol read more

The food at this restaurant was really delicious. It's located right behind meineke car care center. You cook the skewered foods yourself. Roasted lamb leg was really good but I heard that you need to call in advance for them to cook half way before finish cooking in front of you for another 5-10 min.. I've also tried the lamb skewers, spicy beef skewers, enokitake pork roll skewers, bread skewers, and the mushroom skewers and they were all very good. It was honestly too much meat for me so enokitake pork which had the mushroom rolled in thin pork was my favorite. There were also other dishes that you can order other than the skewers. The red canned herbal tea was also good. I think it tasted like the jasmine tea. overall, I had a good experience here. read more

Very disappointed. I keep driving by this place and when I looked it up on yelp I thought the reviews looked pretty good. My friend and I were very excited to check it out. The restaurant was very chilly and there were employees sitting at one of the tables next to ours, putting raw meat on skewers, which seemed a little bit unsanitary to be doing in the middle of the seating area, but I still had high hopes, thinking they really knew their BBQ. There also was no music playing, it was very quiet and kind of awkward with only one other group besides us. We ordered the Signature Lamb Skewers and a Chicken Mushroom Soup. The soup came out first and I wasn't a fan. The meat didn't seem like very good quality and it was just a bit disappointing. I was excited when the Lamb Skewers came out, they looked good but were very flavorless and the meat also didn't seem like very good quality, very fatty. We actually just tried both and took the check after we sat for a little bit with our tea (which also tasted a little strange) and left and stopped at H-Mart and just bought some food to tie us over. One of the worst food experiences I've had. I usually can at least finish my meal. I would not recommend. read more

First time trying this place. I loved the interactive aspect of the skewers. The meat was delicious. The spicy beef was spicy, but not overwhelmingly spicy. Our favorite was the enoki mushrooms wrapped in thin sliced pork. We also ordered the Three Slices dish, which is cucumber with onions and peppers. I'm a huge fan of cucumbers at Asian restaurants and this dish was one of the best I've had. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back. read more

The lamb skewers (羊肉串) here is pretty good but a bit small. Maybe that's because I've been spoiled after visiting China. The other food isn't bad it's just nothing spectacular. It was better before the ownership change, imo. 3 stars for the flavorful lamb skewers and small dishes they offer I suppose. read more

They have some very tasty dumplings. Unfortunately, the last time I went , despite the menu stating 20 pieces for $7.95, after we ordered, we were told the price for all dumplings was $10. Okay, not a huuge deal since we came here just for the dumplings. But then we realized after we started eating that they also shorted us a few dumplings (4-5), but we had already started eating and we didn't want to make a big rukus. We also had the C42 boiled spicy fish pot, which was tasty (FYI, it has noodles, veggies, enoki mushroom at the bottom as well). Also FYI rice is $1 per bowl. Service in general is pretty subpar. I agree with other reviews stating that the servers have no warmth. read more

This is my second time here. The first time I was here was about a year ago and the food was amazing. Decided to come back here today. Never again. I specifically asked the waitress if the meat was spicy and she told me no. Even though I saw what appeared to be red seasoning/sauce smothered all over it. I gave her the benefit of the doubt but no, it was spicy. I ordered the chicken wings which apparently was pre-cooked. I mean I guess it saves time but it didn't give me the bbq effect it had the first time I was here. The chicken chunks were spicy so I didn't have it. It was just sitting there. My boyfriend thought the lamb was okay but not the best. The food is not as good as it was once before. I don't know if they changed owners or something but this was horrible experience. I guess we have to stick to Brooklyn for some tasty skewers. read more

Have many complaints after eating there: 1. Food came with wrong quantity, we ordered 10 skewers and they only gave us 8, the same as the dumplings, they gave you lesser than what they stated on the menu. 2. The dumplings was under-cooked, the filling was still frozen, very disgusting. They didn't even apologize. 3. Inattentive service. The waitress seems very arrogant, never filled the water for you unless you asked them to; I asked them to exchange the dish, they only remove the dish for you and never gave me the new one unless I asked. 4. Pricey. read more

I used to like this place when it's called "dong fang chuan Dian". Today is my first time came in here after they change the owner. But I would never come back again and would never recommend my friends to come here, here are my reasons: 1. The lamp skewers we ordered was not tasty at all and you can hardly taste the lamp flavor and they are somehow raw. 2. The lamp kidney we ordered was burnt on one side and not fresh at all. The taste was just amazingly awful. It tastes like leather and the gross taste ruined my whole appetite. (I like lamp kidney but this is worse than the worst)3. Other than the two dishes, we order the 红烧牛筋，it's just tasteless. And the squid was very so so. They cooked for us, we didn't cook the skewers. The waitress was nice but not helpful, especially after we complained the poor quality and tasteless food, they still didn't feel sorry or anything. The bill is $50, but we still give 10% tips. But I would never ever come back to this place again and hope my experience will help some customers at least they should come prepared. read more
