3 piece ribs and 1/4 chicken over fried rice. One rib missing since I had to have one right away before driving
Mike C.

Always a good meal. Juicy, tender ribs and chicken. Pretty fast service for lunch time. Remember, cash only.

Chicken fried rice
Vera T.

You don't come here for the shiny fancy interior, or the best service. You come just for the food. Great price for what you got. I always order to go, just walk past the pick up window, where everyone standing, to small window before the seating area, where people line up to order. Cash only, and they will give you receipt/ ticket to pick up. And wait for your number to be called. Chicken can sometimes a tad salty, but packed with flavor. My favorite thing to get is their chicken fried rice, way better than pork fried rice . Looks like they pre made the pork version, which is understandable cause it goes in every combo, but it just became drier. Woodside staple, would definitely come back

Rotisserie chicken
Becky Z.

Tried Chinese Peruvian cuisine for the first time at Peking BBQ and wow, it was so good. A friend recommended it and now I get why it's clearly a local favorite. There was already a line forming for their Chinese Peruvian rotisserie chicken. Heads up, it's cash only. They do have the usual American Chinese takeout items, but the Chinese Peruvian dishes are what make this spot stand out. My favorite was the Aguadito, a Peruvian chicken and cilantro soup that was super savory and comforting. I'm a soup girl no matter the weather and this one really hit the spot. The rotisserie chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the skin was perfectly crispy. We also got the spare ribs, which were tender and had a nice chew to them. The green Peruvian sauce was the real MVP though I dipped everything in it. It's creamy, slightly spicy, and just so good. Also I loved the yuca fries. They had that crispy outside and chewy potato center. Super worth the price and I'd honestly come back just for the soup, chicken, and that sauce.

Their ribs and chicken are delicious! And the portions are huge. I heard about them from Action Bronson's and finally got the chance to check them out. They are cash only. There were a lot of people waiting for their orders, so it took about 20 mins for mine to be done. There is an inside area with a couple places to sit, but I took my food to go. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Come for the Food, Not the Decor Pekin BBQ on Woodside Ave serves delicious, hearty Chinese BBQ at great prices. I usually order the 1/4 Chicken with Fried Rice juicy, flavorful, and packed with veggies. The ribs are rich, fatty, and full of flavor definitely a highlight. The portions are huge and always satisfying. That said, the interior leaves a lot to be desired. It looks outdated, a bit dirty, and the bathrooms could definitely use a deep clean. The owners should consider upgrading the dining space it would make a big difference. Still, you don't come here for the ambiance you come for the food, and the food truly trumps the look and feel of the place.

3 pc rib and 1/4 chicken with fried rice
Jorge P.

Almost didn't want to review this place so no one finds out about it! Classic hidden gem in Queens for Chinese / Peruvian fusion. I don't think I've ever had better ribs than here. Been coming for over 20 years and it's just as good as it's ever been. Come hungry!

green sauce
Amanda W.

Yummy peruvian rotisserie chicken and beef w broccoli. I was actually more blown away by the beef broccoli flavor than the chicken w green sauce. I was bummed they didn't have fried bananas, but the yuca was tasty. The staffs were kind and the wait wasnt too long. The green sauce was fresh and herb and not spicy. Perfect for friends who aren't able to tolerate spicy food. The spare ribs were juicy and flavorful!! Overall, a bit expensive. This order was $50 ish. We shared among 4, it was plenty enough.

Five piece ribs
Jane L.

I'm not sure why it took me so long to check this place out. Perhaps it was because the place is always bustling and there seems to be an endless line of people waiting to order. Having finally tried their famous chicken, I can say it was definitely worth the wait (and the line moves very quickly). My husband and I ordered a whole chicken and five piece ribs, because we knew we would want leftovers. The ribs were decent, but the chicken is clearly the star. It's so juicy and well seasoned, and the skin is perfectly browned and flavorful. The portions are very generous as well. I can see why this place attracts so many regulars and is such a neighborhood gem.

Inside

I really need to explore Woodside more. How have I passed up Peking BBQ for so long? Sometimes you need your local Peruvian/Chinese eatery for a meal to hit the spot. Woodside is lucky enough to have Peking BBQ. This no frills, CASH ONLY, spot is worth every penny you scrounged up from the cup holder in your car. And while the menu looked amazing, it was a bit overwhelming. So much to choose from ranging from ribs and rotisserie chicken to lo mein and fried yucca. What do you choose?! The decision was made to go pretty straight forward with a #1. This had pork fried rice and 2 pieces of chicken. Picky with the type of chicken you eat (i.e dark/white meat, breast of drumstick)? Note there will be an up charge with your request. I'm not at all mad about this because I'm from the camp of "you get what you get and you don't get upset". Two nice sizes pieces of delicious, rotisserie chicken sat on a bed of super tasty pork fried rice. The kicker is their green sauce. Again, you're gonna be charged if you want extra. WORTH EVERY PENNY! We cut the heat with some sweet plantains. I wish they would have been a bit on the sweeter side, but all in all very good and made fresh. Ordering, is a breeze and service was quick. Great hidden gem in Woodside. Next time, I'm coming for the ribs!

Peruvian rotisserie chicken with their amazing spicy green sauce
Noel M.

This is for all the people who love Peruvian chicken...and if you don't like Peruvian chicken, you will love it once you try this place. My wife and I have been buying Peruvian rotisserie chicken from this place for probably more than 15 years. Even though years ago we have moved far from this area, we still take the 40-60 minute drive just to buy our favorite chicken here. What really makes the rotisserie chicken special is the matching unique and incomparable Peruvian green sauce that they have. I have already tried so many Green sauces and Peruvian places, but the spicy Peruvian green sauce in this special joint is unparalleled. If you don't believe me, you just have to try it yourself.

Chicken with pork fried rice and chicken soup
Arlene C.

I saw a review of this place on Instagram and finally made the trek. Since I live in Jackson Heights, Woodside is only a 25 mins walk from my nabe. This is yummy and affordable. The chicken was juicy and portions were generous. The salsa verde sauce is a good compliment to the entree. It was raining that day and an ordered a side of Chicken Soup. I couldn't finished my food due to the large serving. I was able to take it home and eat it the next day. This is a CASH only established.

First time was there back in December. I didnt review in yelp. I would gave them 5 stars. I went…read moreagain last night, and it wasnt as good. I would gave them a 2 star for yesterday's experience. First, the place was empty on a Friday night at 10:00pm. Probably have 3 takeout order while we were sitting down. The first time I went was on a weekday night back in December, and there were more patrons. Not sure if the place is going down hill, but they dont have slushies anymore. We had the mango slushies the first time, and the only drinks available was whatever bottle drinks they have in the fridge. Mind you, they dont serve you water, so you have to get drinks since the food is garlicky or spicy. We wound up getting the milk tea ice rice this time. It was ok. I never tried it, but the rice is a bit hard. I won't order again. Best dish is large eggplant. Very flavorable, maybe a bit too garlicky. Will order this again. Also, the chicken wing is huge, for the price of $3 each. Thats why we ordered 2 chicken wing this time. But, I think it wasnt grilled as nice as my first time. Still good since it is a lot of meat for the price of $3. Lotus root is also pretty good, glazed with sugar. The worst i would say is the lamb, a bit too chewy, lack of flavor. The bathroom has all sorts of postcard of famous album. I found that pretty neat. Lastly, I think the squid tentacles is much smaller than before.

I couldn't be happier with my experience here…read more The service is friendly and the QR code ordering system is very convenient. It was so cold out the night I went so I was very happy they kept it nice and warm inside the restaurant. There's a very large selection of skewers, they have basically everything you could want. I especially appreciate that you can order just one of any skewer, unlike some other places where certain types only come in orders of 3 etc, allowing you to order a large variety even if you're dining alone. The seasoning was delicious, and every skewer was not coated in identical seasoning. None of it was spicy at all if that's what you're looking for, but none were lacking in flavor. The meat was juicy and you could taste the smoke from the grill. I loved the different textures of vegetables which were all well cooked. I'm still thinking about the crunchy exterior of the rice cake. I think my favorite skewer was the lotus root, which was perfecting complimented by the seasoning mix. An amazing meal! 16 skewers came out to less than $50. I look forward to returning!

It was definitely an experience walking in as it felt super chill and casual, and you order at the counter as though you were a high school kid in the cafeteria during lunch time, which I thought was kind of fun! The menus are above and definitely legible and easy to follow along, and the staff were friendly and helpful as we figured out what we wanted. There was also an array of sauces to choose from, where there are plates and small containers to fill up on their special BBQ sauces (their labels will tell you which ones are spicier!). I had ordered a can of Cherry Coke and a Combo 2, which includes 2 meats and 2 small sides. For the meats, I chose 1/3 lb Burnt Ends and 1/4 lb Brisket. Both were extremely tender and delicious, and full of flavour! For my sides, I went with Mac and Cheese and the Collard Greens. The Mac and Cheese feels so classic and amazing, and the Collard Greens were very flavourful. We couldn't finish everything so we took some lids and boxes to bring the rest home, and I can't wait to come back here some other time and try more things!

Meat & 2 Combo: Beef brisket 10/10…read moreMac n cheese: 5/10. It lacked flavor. Just plain cheese and noodles taste. Buffalo wings: 7/10 Perfect size, not too big. They lacked the buffalo taste though, they were more on the sweet side. Not very crispy, from sitting in the box, it produced steam. But they weren't too bad. Collard greens: 10/10 the best collard greens I've tasted from any restaurant, hands down. The service was good. 8/10 The ambience was decent. 7/10 Alot of construction workers come here, they can be loud and a bit over bearing but thankfully the restaurant was spacious so we changed our seats to the back of the restaurant.

It was my first time having Chinese BBQ cart skewers and I was an instant fan. I've gone back a bunch, taking other people with me. By far my favorites are the lamb, pork, and enoki mushroom, ordered spicy of course. The lamb is so tender, and the mushrooms are just so fun to eat. They're slippery, they are hard to chew, they don't break apart, they get stuck in my teeth, and I end up swallowing large bites which are covered in that spicy sauce and make me choke and...I just love it! I can't explain it, there's something about the chewiness and heat that while inconvenient, I really enjoy. The beef is also solid. The squid is OK. The chicken gizzards are not bad, I'm still developing a taste for them but they are not overcooked and tough here. The only thing I'd say to skip are the shrimp, they come out with their shells still on and are just rubbery. Cash only, if it's not obvious. If you buy something like $20 or more they give you a free soda. They have some stools set up if you want to eat it right there, but they're usually under the awning of New Golden Sparkling market and well, there's a lot of birds and bird poop there. I would just walk with it. There are lots of BBQ carts up and down Broadway, but I think the meat here is the best (not tough or fatty), and the service is always great. The main guy manning the grill doesn't speak too much English, but there's usually a younger guy helping him who does. Even without the help, ordering is easy, you just say the type of skewer you want, how many, and if you want it spicy. If you're really struggling, point! But it's never come to that.

The waiting continues - 4:30 I finally get our drinks; had to send the marg back - I think they forgot the alcohol in it. Still waiting on food; one hour later after being seated - still waiting on food. I mean if this is how Dallas BBQ wants to present themselves there's certainly much room for improvement. Food quality was great, my steak was cooked to order; shrimp and ribs were hot and delicious. Just needs some improvement in order taking and getting the drinks out as fast as possible. That would make a huge difference in the experience. Ambiance was fine; it was comfortable and the music was decent elevator noise. Things I'd like to see improved - times between first touch to customer - once you get the drink orders and bring the drinks be ready for the food order.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 4…read moreDecor: 3 Value: 7 Overall: 6 After all these years, Shun Wang is still the place around Elmhurst to get the best bowl of congee imho. My favorite is the Fish Congee, but the Sampan Congee is another favorite of mine. In general, all of the congees are consistently good. As for the roast meats, I think their best item is the Soy Sauce Chicken, which is made well. The rest are decent, but I would rather go to Five Loaves & Two Fishes nearby instead. The stuff I would skip here are items like their Wonton Noodle and Rice Rolls. Both are made poorly and not up to par versus the best around. Anyway, I believe this is not a Cantonese roast meat shop that can deliver everything I want.

Shun Wang is one of the 2 joints in Elmhurst that serve authentic, fast-style food nostalgic to most of us from Cantonese households. If you grew up going to Big Wong and Wing Wong (or any place with a clear view of a hanging roast pig on the window), Shun Wang will bring back nostalgia. I'm biased since I spent a good chunk of my childhood eating this kind of food in Chinatown, but Shun Wang's food is just sufficient enough to fill those cravings. Their price points are pretty high for Elmhurst (where most restaurants haven't raised the prices the way Chinatown or Flushing have, luckily), and their food is just OK. I mainly go for the sake of eating something I'm familiar with my whole life, and people I can still speak the language with. My parents go to their Flushing location and said that the quality has fallen since covid.
