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.

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.

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!

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)

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!

We visited on one of the coldest days, and the restaurant was PACKED. It's located in Downtown Flushing, literally right next to Tangram. It's also more affordable than other coconut hot pot spots in the city, with a heartier portion too. Shoutout to the impeccable service -- our server even helped skim off the floating oil from the broth (and made me want to buy that ladle lol). ＊Coconut Chicken (for two) 皇椰雞套餐 $75.95 They use cage-free chicken, and the pieces were generously sized with not too much bone. This portion was already enough to feed four. The set also comes with vegetables, plus your choice of rice or noodles. The coconut broth wasn't heavy at all that we were basically sipping it nonstop. ＊Poached Egg & Beef Clay Pot Rice 窩蛋牛肉煲仔飯 +$15 You get a discounted price if you add their claypot rice to your hot pot order. It looked very promising and delicious, especially with the runny poached egg. But I thought the rice needed a few more minutes in the clay pot to crisp up the base a bit more. ＊Maxi's Noodle Wonton 雲吞妹雲吞 $9.95 The price is pretty steep for just three wontons, but I love Maxi's so much that I still went for it. The shrimp wontons were so plump and meaty. ＊Handmade Battered Shrimp 極品鮮蝦滑 $12.95 SOOOO GOOD I am a fan of shrimp paste in a hot pot.

Lemon water at your table. The appetizers were just ok, fried pork lacked much flavor and the brown sugar glutinous rice cake wasn't as good as elsewhere. Free side dishes of black mushrooms (not much flavor) and the pickled daikon (this was good, a little spicy). The aromatic hot oil and suancai fish was excellent, more than enough for one person (plus maybe one). You can swap out the two veggies with other choices but I liked the lettuce and baby nappa. Golden soup suancai and fish was more sour for those who liked it that way - tomato looked good, too, fragrant (not spicy). The spicy on the others was just a light spice, more ma la than anything. Everyone gets a bowl of rice, and they have a gift card deal - buy $300 and get $50 free. Plus free meal on your birthday, and some discounts on Tuesdays or Wednesdays? Check the signs. Seats filled up quickly on a weekend and they were packed - come early and enjoy. The double serving for two was smaller than a single serving for one, so just get two if you have two good sized appetites. Single unisex bathroom, and the tables have drawers with paper napkins. Drinks - eh, pass, had better elsewhere. They did forget a dish, but that's ok, we were reasonably full.

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.
