Six days a week (he takes Saturday or Sunday and rain/snow days off) he gets up at 3:30AM to make them along with his juices and hot drinks, then pushes them in a shopping cart from his home to the plaza to open between 7:00 and 7:30AM where he stays open until he sells out which is usually about 10:30AM. And on top of being such a hard worker, Saoul is a nice guy!

Who would have thought that the most lively food scene in Flushing late at night is not even in the…read moreheart of downtown Flushing? Instead, walk 10-15 minutes south on Kissena Blvd and you will find a group of street vendors gathering nightly on the sidewalk right in front of Gold City Supermarket. On a beautiful night, you'll find many people camping out on the ledge of the supermarket parking lot, or even putting out picnic blankets, while enjoying various street foods they can find at this great little "food fest". The street vendors are from different regions of China and serves all sorts of yummy goodies. You can find lots of fried items, soup noodles, grilled skewers, marinated meats and veggies, desserts, etc. One of my favorite stalls is the vendor selling hand torn shredded chicken ($25 each), which they dress up in seasoning and spices. They use an older chicken that has a firmer texture that won't fall apart when tearing the meat. The flavor is wonderful and absolutely addictive. They even give you a frequent buyer card that gets you a free chicken when you reached six purchases. The same stall also sells marinated items that are quite good. You are allowed to mix and match as long as they have the same price point. Another stall I would recommend is the stinky tofu stall. There are often more than one, but I like the one with the longest table space only dedicated to this single product, often in the middle of the block. If you have never tried this delicacy, close your nose and give it a go. You may be pleasantly surprised. Other stands that are popular include the BBQ grilled meats over charcoal, where you can get $2-3 skewers of lamb, beef, chicken wings, and whole lot more. Also, if you see the man grilling whole squids, his stuff is quite tasty too. Bottom line, it's a fun evening hanging out with your friends and snacking on various yummy bites. Be brave and try something new. Though there are few English signs, just order what looks good. Find a day with nice weather and check it out soon.

The other one is called Sahara and this one doesn't really have a name--it just says halal and has a bunch of pictures of food! I hate to do this but anytime, I take my health in my hand, and try street meat, I always subconsciously compare it to the cart on 53rd and 6th. Hands down, I think the 53rd and 6th cart has the best white sauce and rice around (well as far as street vendors go!) and thats saying a lot because I am a rice snob!. But this halal cart, gets a 5/5 for their lamb! its tasty, tender and cut into perfect portions. I am also pretty pleased with their white sauce. I am always surprised at how hot the hot sauce in these carts can be. Don't get me wrong, I am a practical fire eater so I can appreciate the heat, but even I would say that it must be used in moderation. While this isn't the hottest hot sauce I've tried, (once again--that honor goes to 53rd and 6th}, it is definitely in the running. If you're not one who enjoys the taste of fire, I'd advise you to skip the hot sauce. My main gripe is that the rice is a bit more grainy than I'm used to, but it isn't a dealbreaker. Anyway, I'm accustomed to having pita with my lamb over rice, but since that is not automatically included with this platter, I had to ask for it. Instead of just cutting the pita into quarters and putting it in the tray like I expected, he threw it on the grill, lightly doused it in white suace, warmed it up, cut it up into slivers, put it on top of the rice and finished it off with more of that adductive white sauce! Perfection! Needless to say, i was pleased! IDK if he charged me an extra .50 cents because I asked for the pita, but all this yummy goodness, with a complimentary soda, came out to only $6.50. My favorite thing about the cart though is that its sooo close to home! It is located at the Flatbush junction right in front of the Triangle Junction or as most people know it, the Target mall, so I'm sure it is very convenient for many people. Whenever I have the hankering for a lamb platter, which is getting to be pretty often!, I'm glad that I do not have to trek to the city anymore--this cart is a much appreciated and quite delicious alternative for my usual haunts: 28th and madison or 53rd and 6th!

Secondly Halal Food here is the Bomb! This is one of my Goto spots for authentic cheap and fantastic Quality food... Newbe Yelpers please take note. If you are in the Brooklyn Area you can catch the B44, B103 Busses or take the 2 or 5 Train last stop to BK College and walk to the Food Trucks. They are 2 of them on the corner. For people who drive you can park in the Target Parking lot in the back. If you arrive early from 8am-10am you'll pay only $7 for the Day or you can just Park around Avenue H or anywhere else that isn't Metered.

Delicious pickles!…read more Tried Pickle Me Pete at the 2025 Bryant Park Holiday market and they did not disappoint! Fried pickles- so tasty! I also loved the pickle flight. My favorites were the half sour, the horseradish, and the Kosher dill (yes, I am aware that is half of the whole flight, but they were all so good). The half sour reminded me of a pickle I had in Japan- it's somewhat similar to the Korean cucumber kimchi- a very mild pickling, so you could eat a lot without ingesting too much sodium, almost closer to a cucumber than a pickle. The Kosher dill is your classic pickle and the Horseradish has, well, horseradish and a slight kick. Sour garlic was very tangy. Too tangy for my taste. Wasabi didn't taste spicy at all while super spicy was quite spicy. Overall, so fun to try different pickles! Would highly recommend!

Owned and operated by a Fuzhounese couple, this late night Chinese skewer cart has been around for…read morethe better part of 15 years. While it appears as "Young Xinjiang" online, the owners have confirmed this cart is nameless despite what the rest of the internet says. (#1) Open until 1A.M nightly, they have steadily maintained one of the best street food options in the Chinatown vicinity. Gone are the days where the skewers were $1. Thanks largely to food inflation, each one now varies between $2.00 and $4. While it's a steep increase, the meats have remained excellent in quality and in today's economy would be considered a very good deal. Their most popular options include lamb and beef, both aptly at $3 each. The meats are grilled over charcoal, and make for an excellent snack at any time. Chili powder is highly recommended for a small kick but delicious finish. Duck skin ($3) is a sleeper pick, and the beef tendon ($2.50) is excellent and is their most tender choice. Squid ($3.50) can be incredible if grilled well, and I would highly recommend avoiding the Italian sausage ($4) completely. Vegetarian options such as eggplant, king oyster mushroom, corn, or rice cake feel a bit overpriced at nearly $3 each. As per usual, everything is cash only. Given the price point, friendly service, and high quality meats, this nameless cart (#2) is an excellent option for a late night goers and carnivore lovers. Given the lack of competition at this point, I sincerely hope they can continue to keep it up. __________ (#1) Perhaps accidentally mixed with another competing cart? It matters little now, since they are the only one left. (#2) Take that, IRS.

Overall: 4.3/5 [take out]…read more Okay, I was a bit skeptical about this place's rating since we had just eaten dinner at a highly rated spot right before and left sorely disappointed. This cart seems to be run by a husband and wife duo and everything is cash only. They grill over charcoal and fan the heat themselves, which is such a cool thing to watch. We got beef, pork, and lamb skewers for $8.50 total which was so worth it. You can choose spicy or non spicy and we went spicy. The beef was the most average of the three, the lamb was better, and the pork was delicious. If you are in the area definitely give this place a try!

Service: Staff are friendly and work efficiently to get orders out quickly. Ambiance: This is just a storefront with no seating and barely any place to stand. A line forms quickly at times, but the food comes out quickly. The space is so tight that you order, pay, and wait outside for your number to be called. Overall, I would recommend this eatery!
