Great auto-spinning skewers and SERIOUS heat!…read more We stumbled upon this place, saw the skewers, and thought, "Why not?" It feels like Flushing is slowly being taken over by fiery Sichuan spots lately! While I miss some of the milder classic dishes, this place definitely delivers if you're looking for flavorful food. Since I'm not quite a fire-breathing foodie, I can't give a deep breakdown of all the traditional dishes my friend ordered--other than to say they were hot, hot, HAWTTT! If you love heavy spice, you will be in heaven here. The real highlight for me was the skewers. The meat cuts are much bigger than what you get from street carts, and the marinade is spot on. Plus, they use those awesome auto-spinning tabletop grills! Honestly, I'd love to have one of those at home just to eat spinning skewers while watching movies. Pro-Tips for First-Timers: Not a spice fan? Stick to the skewers! They aren't naturally as fiery, and you can easily ask for them mild or non-spicy. Language barrier: Most of the staff primarily speak Mandarin with limited English, but they are helpful enough to get you what you need. Even though the heat almost took me out, the skewers alone make it worth a return trip to try some milder options. Recommended if you want a fun, interactive meal!

Food: 5/5 The skewers were fantastic! There is an assortment…read moreof lamb, beef, pork, chicken, and vegetable skewers to choose from. I would recommend the original lamb skewers and the beef rib skewers. All the meat is cooked right at your table so everything is hot and fresh. Service: 5/5 Service was quick and not rushed. The waiters bring the raw skewers and give a recommended cooking time for each type of meat. They come around frequently to check on the grilling skewers and help loading and unloading the skewers on the grilling rack. Ambiance: 5/5 For a weekday dinner, the place was full but not packed where there was a line to wait. It's very cool how they have a conveyor belt to keep the skewers rotating on the grill so everything is cooked evenly. The ventilation is excellent. After dinner, there was no smoke or food smell in my hair or clothes.

I went around 12pm on Sunday and there was no one there at first but people started trickling in. Theres a few tables and a number of counter seating available. The way this works is you can pick and choose what you want and the price is by weight. You then can choose your soup base, spice level, etc. My total for 2 ppl sharing one bowl was about $36 which isn't bad. We also got a side of rice to eat with the dry pot. The flavors were there and there was a good spice. I do wish they had a greater variety of ingredients though. Overall it was a decent meal.

I love how attentive they were! the foods were also super yummy. I can tell that all of their dishes were of really high quality, especially the meats! I can definitely taste and feel the meat flavors just melting in my mouth. the ambiance inside was so amazing as well! it feels like I just stepped inside modern day china and dined like them too! definitely check this place out when you have the chance!

Literally felt like I walked into China. I like the historical decor…read more Food: Fresh scallops, fresh meat, and assorted side dishes. I like the idea of unlimited side dishes and desserts (with an additional price). The service was okay, the waitresses were able to answer our questions about price ranges. But, 1. Why am I asked to wait before seating when I made a reservation? 2. Workers didn't pay much attention to our table, especially when we needed to more soup base. Probably because we didn't order as much food. ‍ (Additional info: this place is not ACYE, therefore, you pay by the price of each item)

Came here with my mom on a weekday and found out that they have weekday specials (before 5pm). We each get a choice from 4 soups, a protein based dish, two tea eggs, and two bowls of rice. For $33 that's a pretty good deal for two adults. On their iPad menu their soups even explain what they're good for. Digestion, beauty, calming, etc. I will definitely be back. One star was taken away as the stir fry dishes were a bit too fried and doesn't match the soup well. If I had just the soup, it will probably be 5 stars.

My favorite was the pork intestines, fried mini buns and taro chips. The service was great. We had a big group and they gave us an individual room on the 3rd floor away from the crowds. We rang the bell whenever we needed assistance. Overall, it's a great experience. We'll come back.

In the center of each table, there's a grill for you to place your skewers at (and above the grill is a space for you to put skewers that are done!). Service here is attentive and quick. We ordered a variety of skewers and veggies, and everything was delicious. The skewers were a good portion and good quality. I would note that some of the beef was a bit fattier than I would like, but that's personal preference. At each table, there's also seasoning for you to make your own seasoning mix to eat with your skewers. Cute and casual spot, super great to enjoy with friends.

Here are my top recommendations on what to order: * Ganjajang: Always get this over regular Jajangmyeon. It's cooked dry to order without added water or starch slurry, making it super fresh and packed with rich wok flavor. * Garlic Sauce Shrimp: Their signature garlic sauce is ridiculously flavorful! I don't have a picture of it here, but I've ordered it multiple times. While both the pork and shrimp options are great, I definitely recommend the chili shrimp over the fried pork. It's my absolute favorite. * Oyster Soup (Maesaengi Gulguk): A silky, comforting sea algae broth loaded with plump, juicy oysters. Honestly, it tastes even better than Jjamppong and is easily the best soup I've tried here so far! Authentic, high quality every single time, and the restaurant is spacious with virtually no wait time. Highly recommend checking them out!

And as someone who doesn't eat much red meat, they have a lot of seafood and vegetarian options. They have a mushroom set which I was hesitant to try, but they were actually all so interesting texture wise! If you sign up for their membership and put money in your account, you get membership pricing for everything you order and various discounts (last time I went I got 50% off soup!). I love their cold bar which you can mix up your own sauces, cold veggie appetizers, as well as a dessert bar with herbal jelly and silken tofu which you can mix with coconut milk or milk tea. The cold/dessert bar is a flat fee that is charged per person. Seating is nice and spacious.
