Never would've known this place has a sit down restaurant if my friends didn't tell me. Thrown off by all the advertisement like lash and weight loss papers on the table as mats. Note: there'd be even more at the bathroom. But advertisings aside, I think the food was good and pretty damn good for it's price. Need to buy a minimum amount of skewers to be cooked in front of you, which automatically rotates the skewers!! I think the quality was pretty good. Just note that they aren't seasoned. They do give you a spice mixture with salt on the table separately, which I don't mind since it's more DIY. If you don't prefer this you can have them cook it in the kitchen. Also note that once the charcoal runs out they won't replace it for you. Wish they informed us that so we would've eaten a bit faster. Other food we got was the potato pancake that was surprisingly super chewy. The beef pot that flavor was really good but be careful since it splatters a bit. Overall, the food is good and so is the price but don't expect too much from service. It wasn't terrible service but not great neither.

This is an authentic northern China barbecue. If you order 20 or more skewers, you get to grill yourself and the experience is phenomenal. You could grill to exactly how you like. They have an auto skewer rotation mechanism so it's really easy. Remember to marinate the meat before since the food has only mild marination. The service is pretty quick, but there are kind of busy. The ambience is casual, a good place to go with friends.

This is what is on their menu which isn't even available!

Put in an order for pickup through GrubHub it was a combo of 5 meats on a stick so about 10 sticks for $16 not a bad price from their menu online....Anyway I put in the order and after about 15 mins they ACCEPT my order....it takes a little longer than they estimated 15-25 mins...I wait another 45 mins and finally they mark my order as complete! I show up to pick up my order the restaurant is empty, I approach the counter nobody greets me, they are just sitting down eating their lunch and staring at me like I have 2 heads...I just want to pick up my food and leave, finally someone pops out who speaks some English, and basically saying my order was not made! They saying I can't order 2 sticks of each meat and must order 10 sticks of each item instead which would like $90. I am like WTF, this was on your menu! After about 15 mins of arguing and back and forth he gets the manager/owner on the phone who offers to call the GrubHub to give me a refund which she never did. We had to call later to get refund. So why did you accept my order and mark it as complete ? You could have just cancelled the order. Kind of weird and shady on their part. They need to update their menu to what you can actually get. Not so much upset about the money but the wasting of my time; more than an hour. with all those nonsense. Bottom line avoid this place, is a waste of time and money....Plenty of other places in the area to try serving the same type of food .

Potato pancakes

Beside they have the best bbq skewers in the town, Good food. Reasonable price. Good service. Open late. Lots of indoor seating. Curbside pickup available. What else do you need?? Hands down the best local soul-food restaurant of 东北老乡们。

a variety of food on a plate - The image shows a plate of assorted skewered grilled foods, including shrimp, beef, and vegetable rolls, arranged on a white platter. Surrounding the main dish are small bowls with side dishes such as pickled vegetables, green beans, and sauces. The table surface is a dark, speckled granite, and chopsticks are visible in the background. The presentation suggests a communal dining experience at a restaurant specializing in skewered grilled cuisine.

Good value and good amount of food! We ordered cooked skewers which served ready to eat. They tasted really good at the beginning, but were getting cold as we ate. Another option is to cook them on table. Service was just okay, as no one greeted us upon arrival and we waited a little bit to sit down even though the restaurant was half empty. However, I don't expect extraordinary service in Flushing anyway. I'll definitely come back for the skewers and the authentic northeast cuisine.

See all

While waiting I checked out the restroom and found it unpleasant. Thinking I'd have my food ready by the time I returned and no drinks and no food yet. 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. Don't take forever to speak to the customers about their needs. Definitely would be a 3 or 4 stars if service was faster. Maybe we just had a newbie waitress

We ate so much delicious meat that we left completely stuffed…read more We especially loved the Iron Age steak--it was so flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked that we ended up ordering three or four portions. Honestly, there wasn't a single meat dish we didn't enjoy. The salad was also surprisingly delicious, with a very tasty and flavorful dressing--it's definitely a must-try. The corn was decent as well. For dessert, they went above and beyond. They surprised us by bringing out cheesecake, and they even brought us an extra slice when I requested it, which made our celebration even more special. Our server and the manager were both excellent, and the staff overall were friendly and welcoming. I really can't say enough positive things about this place. We will definitely be coming back!

It is an all you can eat setup for a flat fee of around $30, with roughly 90 minutes to work through as much as you want. I will be honest -- I have mixed feelings about the time limit format. At that point it is not really all you can eat, it is all you can eat within a window. The other consideration is that the meats cook at their own pace in the BBQ pit, which naturally slows things down regardless of how hungry you are. That said, my wife and I were both satisfied by the end of the meal. We ate our fill and left happy, which is ultimately the goal. The food was genuinely good -- good enough that I actually enjoyed this meal more than some of the higher end Korean BBQ spots I have visited. That says something. I will be back. The value is solid and the experience delivered. Though I have to be honest -- nothing in this city touches the hole in the wall Korean BBQ spots in Flushing. Those are in a league of their own.

Downtown Flushing, Flushing

Overall: Would recommend depending on the time of day. They serve you, so I would recommend coming…read moreat a time with less people since there are mixed reviews about service during peak hours, but this time their service was AWESOME (best service I've ever had at a restaurant). Everything 5/5, I would come back. Came here with my partner around 1PM on a Saturday for AYCE KBBQ at $43 per adult. Unlike other KBBQ joints, the servers cook for you here. Sorry, not as many pictures as I had hoped for because I got lost in the eating... lol. Ambience: On the outside, store was inconspicuous but on the inside there was quiet K-pop music, lighting was warm/soft, and there were not many people. Food: Sides and appetizers were unlimited. The julienne pickled radish and carrots were amazing. The GF loves cheese steamed egg but I don't eat dairy. I recommend the addicting fried rice cake. There were some dull lettuce leaves but most were vibrant appearing, everything was clean. For meats, we tried to go down the list for beef cuts but got too before we could try everything. We ordered - Thin cut brisket: My favorite cut especially to start with. Thin so it cooks fast, tender, not too fatty. Not marinated so goes well with salt and pepper. - Hanger steak: Not marinated but simple, classic, and great with salt and pepper. Some pieces were tougher than others. - Finger meat: Not a fan, maybe the tendons in the meat made it tough to chew and hard to eat with the lettuce wrap. - Soy marinated short rib: Good. Light sweet marinade that wasn't overpowering and retained the meaty flavor. - Soy marinated beef bulgogi: Decent. Would say the bulgogi definitely absorbed too much sauce and a little on the saltier side which kind of overpowered the natural flavor of the meat. Service: AMAZING, best service I've ever received at a restaurant. The server clearly took pride in his work. Recommended to us where to sit to not get splashed by oils from the grill. He anticipated all of our needs. He saw I was getting garlic out of my GF's plate and brought me a separate massive plate of garlic (I am a glutton). Gave us refills of appetizers and lettuce before we even ran out. Cooked everything for us and was attentive throughout the whole experience.

(Just off the 7 /or walk from the Q104 / R,M - Northern Blvd. to Q18) It was just okay, not Amazing by what the socials say. Had the ($21) 1/4 Chicken & Ribs Plate, they threw in an extra 1/4. (I was overwhelmed at first and ordered a plain quarter chicken (dark meat) & 3-rib plate. The cashier was nice enough to recommend the #8 combo (1/4 Chicken, 3 Ribs) instead.) The cut of ribs were good but slightly dry. Was recommended the beans (good) with white rice (dry) by the cashier. Dark meat was the best. First bites of the white meat & ribs were dry, but got better towards the middle. The green sauce was watery and didn't have much flavor. Not sure why everyone raves about green sauce. Was expecting Mama's Empanadas level, but this was 1/4 of that flavor. The Cantonese-speaking cashier was so nice & chill! Communication was easy (English, Cantonese, or Spanish) & they had a steady flow of customers, of all backgrounds. I would get the food to go, the dining area is one long, narrow room and for whatever reason the floor was very wet. I guess it's good that they mopped at 4 PM? There were a few guys that were either workers or hanging out at the far back tables, one or two middle-age couples dining in. It was just kind of a sad ambience. The cashier recommended the Lomo Saltado next time. Maybe I went at a slow time, 4 PM Friday. First bite of food at home was decent, but nothing overwhelming. I would stick to all dark meat! Reheat the pink beans at home. Glad that they usually get their workers two weeks vacation (as per a sign in 2022) - shows that business is good! *Didn't realize they're connected to Caravan Chicken in Astoria. Might try them (closer to me) to compare.
