    Food was mid The squid was the best part of the meal but the others were not too flavorful. It was interesting when they had us go upstairs to what was a room converted into "dining space" - very sketch hahaha. Portion was much smaller for the price (as opposed to what most comments had mentioned). Skewers were also quite bland, especially the chicken skew, was a bit disappointed. Slow service, no refills on tea and no attention to when we were done. We just went back downstairs and asked for bill, probably could have dined and dashed and they wouldn't even notice but of cutouts r we wouldn't do that Overall interesting expeirence since it's my first time dining in a normal "room" at a restaurant, almost felt like I was in china but probably would not come back

    Finally got to dine in here last month. My bf and I have ordered take out previously but always wanted to experience the skewers fresh! They use a charcoal grill and you grill the skewers yourself. We ordered beef, chicken, and squid skewers. Also got an enoki mushroom appetizer and the cold noodles. The enoki mushroom wasn't the flavor I imagined so wasn't a huge fan. Really liked the cold noodles though! The skewers cooked pretty easily, we liked the beef the best. They were lightly marinated in some sort of sauce, making them really good and tender! The chicken was alright but we ended up overcooking some of them. Didn't like the squid, was hoping for the tentacles but realized the menu didn't specify! The dry spice mix, LOVE. Wish I knew what they put in here so I could make some myself!!

    This would be a nice place to experience making your own skewers and meeting with friends. Recommend try their kitchen items. It's good! Friendly staffs, maybe too busy, don't have time to check with table if there's any needs etc.

    Such a great experience to make your own skewers. The restaurant is spacious with a few tables available for dine in. There is a lot of different food options you can choose from and a lot of different variety. You can also choose to grill your own skewers or they can do it for you. The service is quick, only complaint I have is that they didn't serve us any water while we sat down like most restaurants do. Do get the jellyfish salad as it's very refreshing after having a lot of skewers. My favorite skewers was the beef and lamb. A good experience if you never made your own skewers before with your own private fire grill pit!

    Lamb and a few intestines

    In the mood for some hot, fatty but deliciously marinated lamb skewers that perfectly cooked with a slight charm? Then, You'll love this spot! Other yelpers are right, spot can feel a little shady but you see locals standing on line just to get a table tells you it's worth the spot. Staff are super efficient, quick and polite. Food is fresh in spite of the dilapidated decor. Our group divulged in lamb, beef tendon and intestine skewers along with the sweet and sour pork and string beans stir fried in garlic (all of which I recommend). You can also ask them to get it 80% of the way and your party can grill the remaining. FYI they give a spicy Cucumber salad on the house which goes great with everything to cleanse the palette.

    Very bad taste and service. My partner got stomachache after having it. I feel so sorry for him. Don't recommend going. A waste of money. Very expensive. Ambiance is okay.

    spice mix, boiled peanuts, radish kimchi. I added MSG, salt & cumin for dipping.

    Our meal at Ming Xing was delicious and loads of fun. Loved that we controlled grilling the skewers ourselves as we like a little more char than the owner suggested. Eggplant, potatoes, and peppers was outrageously good. Dongbei style. Fabulous snacks: the best boiled peanuts I have ever had as they were a touch firmer and crunchier than typical. Radish kimchi was spectacular. Not surprising as the owner's family came from Korea to Dongbei. Apparently a lot of folk got out of North Korea and emigrated to Dongbei. The trick to the skewers is seasoning them. They gave us a plate of a chile mix. There was a spice box with cumin seeds, salt and MSG. I put little piles of each on the side of the plate and each piece got 4 dips. The more dipping, the better the flavor. Their grills are gas-powered and they put charcoal on top. We found that as the coals got hot and turned white that the flavor was maximized. We ordered 20 skewers and the stir fry but that was a little too much. Next time we need to go with more people. The owner was super nice We has a great chat about the food, Dongbei, and his family coming from North Korea before he was born.

    Pleasantly surprised! Pays (in this case) not to listen when someone else steers you away, because I ventured into MingXing anyways....immediately seated and greeted and offered a drink. Good start. Staff was very helpful with ordering and I took his suggestions of lamb skewers and an order of dumplings. Lamb arrives almost fully cooked, allowing you to put the finishing touch as to your own preferences over the flaming grill imbedded in your table. Absolutely delicious lamb, although the skewers are smaller than you expect so order one and another half order in order to satisfy a big appetite. The dumplings were fresh and amazing! Highly recommend when in the area. I know I'll be returning for more. Enjoy!

    Right before you walk in, you question whether or not you're walking into some grandmas $20 massage joint. It's a bit divey looking. The waiters are straight up from China and I couldn't tell if they even understood English. But the food is amazing. The variety of meat skewers were delicious. Especially the lamb and the lamb leg skewers. The tripe with chili oil is good. I hope this unknown spot stays unknown cause I am likely going to be a frequent patron.

    Delicious!!! All the dishes we had were excellent. We really enjoy the eggplants and potatoes dish. The salad with vinegar dress is refreshing to have with the grilled meats. We went around 2:30P-3:00P on Sunday. The restaurant was pretty full and only 2 waiters but they still gave good service with no bad attitude.

    Shrimp Fried Rice, lamb skewers, complimentary sides

    A great spot away from the center of Flushing, great for large or small parties! Came with a group of 8 people, ordered a bunch of skewers, dishes, and drinks. According to my friends, the highlights were the shrimp fried rice (made w short grain rice and was "super buttery feeling, slightly sweet and salty, the best fried rice ever"), the grilled bullfrog (small chunks in peppercorn sauce with bell peppers, wood ear mushrooms, and other veggies), the fried pork in vinegar sauce, and the mapo/mapa tofu. The menu has both Chinese and Korean items and descriptions, but the owners are Korean. Service was fast and great on a Saturday afternoon. I only deducted a star because there were very little vegan options. I was not able to order anything, so I just sat and ate the complimentary sides (seasoned boiled peanuts and marinated onions, both great!). Wish there were labels on the menu for vegetarians and vegans!

    I ate here with my boyfriend who only understands Chinese but with pointing out what we wanted we were able to order. Flushing is full of diversity and this hole in the wall delivers through its traditional Chinese and Korean cuisine. The staff speaks Chinese, Korean, and some English but I recommend coming with someone who can at least understand the first two. We ordered the skewers and it was delicious! The cumin mix isn't too over powering and the staff helps cook your meat if you're newbies. It's a small place but a Flushing gem.

    This is a Korean/Chinese restaurant specializing in kebobs. We came on a Saturday night and it was about a 20 min wait for lower level sitting (have option to grill food on our own). We could have gotten a seat immediately on upper level but only the waiters can grill food. We ordered a variety of kebobs including fish tofu (my fav), lamb, beef, chicken, chicken gizzard, pepper and mushrooms, sojus and a pitcher of hot sake (have this cold too but we didn't make this clear to waiter so we just went with the hot sake). The total came out to be about $335 including tips. The sojus were pricier than most places and the pitcher of sake was $25. They first served us 3 small sides and we each got our own dish of seasoning. I really like this seasoning with the fish tofu! We enjoyed grilling on our own but some took too long so we asked the waiter to give it us pre-grilled 50%. Dumplings were on the house! Overall, the kebobs were amazing and filling. Waiters are really attentive and come to your service as soon as you ring the call bell at the end of the table.

    The food is great! But one problem, the seats are wayy too far from the table so it makes it hard to sit and eat comfortably...

    Do they have large table which can fit at least 8 to 10 people?

    Not if you want to sit down and grill your own skewers by the fire...but they do have bigger tables that can fit 8 people upstairs but skewers will be grilled by the kitchen

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 7 I have not been here in a long time. Maybe because the prices are no longer considered cheap eats. Or maybe because my taste buds have evolved over the years. Or maybe it's just not as good as it used to be. The answer is maybe all three and somewhere in the middle. I have never came here, or any other Latino-Chinese restaurants in NYC, for service or decor, so let's set that aside. The value is still somewhat there, but the food did not hit that nostalgic note I was looking for. I wanted to get the Fried Pork Chops (Chuletas De Cerdo Frita), but our server suggested the "juicier" Broiled Pork Chops (Chuletas De Credo Asada) instead. Sorry to report, if that's juicy, then how dry is the fried pork chops? I shutter at the thought. It was also under seasoned. I substituted the House Fried Rice for my side at an $4.50 additional fee. It was just okay and not worth the upgrade. Boneless Crispy Fried Chicken (Chicharron De Pollo) was also a disappointment. The batter was more hard than crispy, but the idea that boneless dark meat isn't more juicy simply tells me that the chef over fried the pieces. It came with Fried sweet plantains, which could have been a but more ripe but not bad. I'm not sure how I feel about the Beef Stew (Carne Guisada), which had relatively tender meat, but the sauce was so weak and lacked any real flavor. The black beans and white rice that came with it was decent. What might bring me back to this restaurant sooner rather than later was the Shrimp Egg Foo Young (foo Young Con Camarones). I felt that the eggs were cooked extremely well, but the star of the show was that delicious brown sauce full of umami. Having this over white or fried rice made this meal much more acceptable. I'm not sure when I'll have another craving for this type of food. If I do, I'll definitely get the egg foo young again. However, the other dishes were misses for me, so maybe I'll try the Fried Pork Chops and Shredded Beef in Tomato SayceRopa Vieja.

    Whether you speak Spanish or Cantonese, the waiters here can help get you whatever dish your heart…read moredesires. It's amazing to step into this restaurant, it's like stepping into another world where anything is possible. I feel like home whenever I come here. My favorable dishes are the combo dishes because I can choose fried rice or noodles or French fries with a meat usually, Yummylicious to the core!

    The menu here is split into two sections, classic American Chinese take out and Sichuan cooking…read more Seems to be a fairly popular take out spot, as they were fulfilling many delivery orders while I was there, but the interior is comfortable and elegantly decorated unlike a standard take out only spot. I ordered the cured pork with garlic shoots and dry fried green beans. The cured pork was quite salty, and paired well with the buttery, tender leeks it was cooked with. The dish was not overly oily, and was pleasant over white rice. I enjoyed the chewiness of the pork which allowed you to experience the complex flavor. The green beans were well fried, with characteristic texture signature to this dish. The seasoning was very well balanced and not overpowering to the natural sweetness of the green beans. I would recommend either dish. They were both slightly toned down iterations when compared to the times I've eaten these dishes at other Sichuan restaurants in flushing, but still well seasoned and well cooked. The service was very warm and friendly, and many other customers seemed to be returning regulars.

    Food is good, quiet and clean…read more Service is impeccable. My fiance and I drink water like fish. Our glasses were never empty. Warning to all with a pineapple allergy like me: do not eat the duck sauce. If you like spicy ask for hot mustard instead. Orange chicken was crispy and flavorful. I did not find it spicy, but my spice tolerance is very high. My fiance had the chicken with broccoli and it looked amazing. Try the cold noodles. They are chewy and delicious. For me the fried dumplings were good, but not great. Worth a try but nothing to rave over.
