Loved this place! Ate here every night when I was in LIC. The lamb skewers are so good, also I like that they had individual packaged utensils that are very sanitary and made the dining experiences very enjoyable. The service was excellent; the servers were very nice and worked swiftly. If you are looking for a late night Chinese skewers spot to chill look no further!
We were able to walk in on a weekend for an early dinner and got seated right away. The booth was spacious, and you order on a tablet and they bring you the skewers cooked. I liked that we were able to order more food after eating, instead of over ordering in the beginning or leaving hungry. Each portion of meat was not that big, and we couldn't really tell the difference between some of them but they were all good. We got the triple delight veggie stir fry, fried rice, and various beef, lamb, and shrimp skewers.
You order on the kiosk at the table and you can keep ordering as you like. All the meat we got were heavily seasoned so I ended up ordering a bowl of rice. The lamb may have been my favorite although the lean beef and black pepper beef were good too. The pork kidney is innocuous in taste but the texture is a little too gummy and thin for me to enjoy it. Green beans were good but standard. The pork belly with vinegar cabbage was interesting with tender pork, but not sure I'd get again. The chongqing chicken had a good level of numbing spice, but wish there was a little bit more meat to the bones. The 3 of us ordered this much and could barely finish.
Great Chinese BBQ skewer restaurant with a lot of other great non-BBQ options as well! The skewers are definitely pricier than the LIC skewer carts (which offer similar quality for cheaper), but this is to be expected from a full-service, sit-down establishment. Everything on their menu that I've tried has been delicious, and I actually primarily order their non-BBQ items more often. As a fan of duck blood, my personal favorite has always been the tin foil duck blood dish. Now that the new opening hype has died down over the past few months, it's pretty easy to walk in and get a table without a wait. The interior is very spacious with lots of seating and booths (great for groups).
Lately I've been a huge fan of Chinese BBQ so when I heard this spot just opened in LIC, I was super excited to go. The first time I went, the wait was extremely long, I decided to go another day at a slower time. I ended up going on a Friday at 4:30pm and there was no wait. The interior of the restaurant is bright and spacious. Staff is nice. Service is quick here, and despite it being a BBQ spot, this is one of the spots where they grill for you and bring out the cooked skewers (as opposed to you grilling it yourself). My friend and I got their beef, chicken cartilage, and beef with pepper skewers as well as their eggplant. I really enjoyed their chicken cartilage and beef with pepper skewers, but thought that their cuts of just beef skewers were too fatty. I did enjoy their eggplant too. I wish they had their cold noodles, but it was sold out when I went :(. I thought they did a good job at seasoning too, but did have to ask for more (I wish they just had it on their table). Overall, not a bad spot for Chinese skewers in LIC!
I came by with 3 friends recently to this newly-opened restaurant that specializes in skewers. We came on a Saturday evening around 6:30, and there were still a handful of tables available, but filled up while we were eating. (When we got there they asked us if we had reservations, but I don't see anywhere to make reservations online; so you might have to call to make one?) They have a pretty big menu of various spicy dishes (many of which did seem yummy!), but we decided to only try the skewers :) Price point is a tad high - around $2 per skewer on average (before tax/tip), but overall they were quite yummy. Our favourites were the grilled beef (fat & lean) 牛肉小串(肥瘦) and the grilled black pepper beef skewers 黑椒牛肉串. Both were quite nicely seasoned with cumin, pepper, etc. and the beef was well cooked to a tender softness. We also tried a few other options - beef tendons were fine but tended to taste a bit too oily, and the chicken cartilage had a nice flavour but texture was hard to chew. When we ordered, we were told that they didn't have any of the pork options available that evening (maybe growing pains with supply chain and what not). It's pretty interesting that they bring the skewers to you without a plate or anything (once you have a tray/plate on your table). Also, I think the ventilation in the restaurant is pretty lacking. Especially further away from the exit, you could smell and even see there was a lot of smokiness in the air (from the skewer grills). All in all, a pretty decent meal at a good price. I'm keen to come back to try some of their non-skewer dishes in the future !
Good addition to LIC neighborhood. A casual spot and inside is bright, clean and welcoming. Hubby and I went on the 2nd week after they open. It was busy on a Thursday night and some skewers took a little while to come out but it wasn't too bad. We ordered a bunch of different Street-Style Skewers to try, although nothing really stand out (and also had better) but the skewers are quite decent. They don't have a big menu but a good enough diverse selections on entrees if you are not a fan on skewers like us. Overall a nice experience with decent food (mainly BBQ skewers) and good services. We will be back!
Really great and yummy Chinese BBQ restaurant in LIC! Huge fan of the spicy fried clams. The staff is always super friendly and accommodating. I love coming here with my boyfriend for dinner and would recommend it!!
happened to see this place when getting heytea next door and was surprised how packed it was. i decided to stop by 2 weeks later on a tuesday night at 10pm and can definitely see why its popular. funny that 4 of the 5 other tables also grabbed heytea next door before dining and saw them turn away someone who came in with a big dog but that makes sense to me. we ordered the grilled beef skewers, dry-fried green beans, and cumin beef aorta. the skewers were probably the best ive ever had, green beans were very solid, and aorta was kinda fun to eat but prob wouldnt get again. i wish the prices were a bit lower but its not unreasonable for the area as shown by how good business is. yet another new chinese spot catering to international 富二代 in lic but the menu is interesting and its open late (til 12am) so a welcome addition to me!
My friends and I came on a spontaneous visit, fueled by a desire for some delicious grilled meats. Seven Scents appeared on Google Maps, and since it was only a short walk, and since the food looked appetizing, we figured, why not give this place a shot? I'm so glad we did. Seven Scents was absolutely delicious and worth the detour. We ordered several skewers for the table, including the beef and the pork. Each item was so well seasoned, the spices brought out a depth of complex tastes: salty, spicy, peppery, umami. The meat was well charred, the flavor craveable. I think about that night to this day. Seven Scents is well worth the visit. read more
The food is reasonably priced and the flavor is great, though a bit too spicy for me. For the skewers, I think everything we ordered was good except for the pork kidney and sausage. The seasoning is good and the meat is not dry at all. The tofu and century egg dish looks quite simple but it is so addictive and the portion is big. Food and drink might take some time to come out. Great for late night meal as they close pretty late. read more

Made ressies for 6:30pm on a work night. 2 other tables were occupied. Clean spacious set up. By the time we grab the cheque, it was packed. Surprisingly, when we go back, I'll have to pass on the skewers but the duck blood, scallion oil tripe and cauliflower were sooooo good. We even had round 2 for the tripe and duck blood. read more
