Skewers are $2-3, and grilled fresh to order. The service and time to get your food will really depend on how many people are there. It's a food cart on the side of the road, so street food is the ambiance you're signing up for. I got the cumin lamb and beef, and they were both so tender, tasty, and get it spicy!! Skewers are not huge, so you'll definitely want more than one because they are so good. read more

It took a while. $2 per skewer very delicious. Chicken Heart was as expected. Very good. Squid was surprisingly tender and good for $2 quality. Lamb, however, was a bit too fatty. Def a steal. read more

Xinjiang BBQ Cart #2 - Lamb & Chicken Heart & Squid - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

This cart located on the side of a street is pretty unassuming if you didn't notice a line for them. It's great because you can order one for a snack or a bunch for a meal. All the skewers range from $2-4, which is pretty fair. I ordered a lamb and beef kebab and they were both delicious. I also loved the spice that they coated the meat with. The kebabs had some fatty and lean pieces together, which was just yummy. read more

Absolutely fire. The spicy is hella dank. My favorites were the lamb and the chicken skin. Not much area to sit nearby but worth it. read more

Xinjiang BBQ Cart #2 - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

Unlike its more popular sister cart just down the street (#1), Xinjiang #2 has all the same delicious skewers without the headache of the crowds. The men that run this cart have been doing it for years and have really mastered the ability to make tender chunks of meat on a stick taste as good if not better than the equivalent in a restaurant. My overall favorite is lamb, which usually is high on everyone else's list as well. The meat isn't that hearty, but the little bits of fat on the sides are wonderful with the charcoal flavor and light dusting of chili powder. (#2) The chicken is a close second and the organ choices, such as chicken heart, liver sound a lot more intimidating than the real thing. Last time I checked, $2 a skewer was the most expensive option and that was lamb tendon. After questioning it initially, I've become a major convert. The only issue is that it often runs out and doesn't have the shelf life that most of their meats have. So in short: when they have it, get it. Of course, Mandarin is the language to speak here, however since they have a menu on the side, pointing isn't such a bad idea either. The guys are friendly enough and can speak just enough English to keep things moving. Like many street side foods, it is strictly cash only. Best times to come are during the late afternoon or early evenings. ____________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/xinjiang-bbq-cart-flushing (#2) If they ask you for spice, you say yes. (It's really not that bad) read more

This cart is always in front of the big parking lot across from queens crossing. The BBQ sticks are pretty good. I always go for chicken and lamb and it's charred pretty well with good pieces of meat. The lamb was a bit fattier than I liked but the flavors are good. read more

Xinjiang BBQ Cart #2 - Chicken and lamb - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

This carts meat options isn't as extensive as the one by the Sheraton hotel. But I have to say this cart seems a lot more sanitary than the other options. They had a lady handling the money, and another guy cooking. They also used a shaker to put on the spice rub, not their dirty hands. Happy to say that this cart hasn't made me sick yet. But I do miss the days when these used to be a dollar each. read more

This has got to be one of my favorite places (along with the Peking duck stand which is another one of my reviews). It took us a while to find the cart. Basically don't expect them to stay in the same location, they'll most likely be on different blocks. I thought I was going to miss them because I couldn't find them but it so happened my boyfriend and I were just walking around and stumbled upon them. I got tendon, squid, chicken, lamb and beef skewers and it was so good! They make it right there so it's all nice and hot, very flavorful too. It's ~$1.50 per skewer so it's a pretty good deal, especially when comparing other New York price foods. If I go to flushing again, I'll definitely keep an eye out for this food cart again! read more

LAMB & CHICKEN SKEWERS in Flushing NYC Got the lamb and chicken, filled with cumin and spices : you smell the fresh meat even before you're close to the stall. The whole experience reminded me of when we were in China on a family trip with the extended family, and all of us cousins saw a lamb skewer stall just by the highway. Literally 10 skewers for $1 back there This was just as good, each skewer isn't very big, so they can barbecue it fresh on the stove. There are other meats you can get like gizzard, tofu, gizzards, heart, etc. You'll choose how spicy you want it, and we chose light spice which was perfect. Each meat skewer has a good bit of fat on it to make the meat really tender & flavorful Looks like they have other noodle items as well but we didn't get that throughout our food crawl Here, each skewer is about $1.75, cart was located on 138th and 39th avenue read more

Some great BBQ with fresh meat at low prices! One of the best food courts in all of NYC. Get the lamb skewers! Their great! read more

Xinjiang BBQ Cart #2 - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

This place is sort of hit or miss. There are definitely better carts in Flushing. This location always has a long line. I went today to get a lamb skewer and a chicken heart skewer. As with all the other BBQ carts in Flushing, the skewers are grilled over charcoal and the cost is between $1.50-$2.00 per skewer, depending on what you get. You can also choose to get it spicy or not, but be careful because when they say spicy, they mean it. Unfortunately, today was a bad day for their lamb. The lamb was all fat and gristle, making it a very unsatisfying experience. The chicken heart was also rubbery and not all that warm. I always worry about how these carts keep their prepped-but-uncooked meat skewers, but it's something I probably shouldn't think about. read more

This cart is a good value if you are lucky. The flavor of their grilled meats is tasty and their spicy version is SPICY! Unfortunately today I had to throw away two of my pieces of lamb because they were all gristle. Disappointing to say the least. read more

Xinjiang BBQ Cart #2 - Nice man but 2 of 5 pieces of lamb were all gristle! - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

Ever since I started going to Flushing, this cart has been a necessary pit stop at least once every time I go. I often remark to my friends when I take them to Flushing that I stop by this cart 3 times whenever I'm around: once when I get to Flushing, once in the middle of my visit, and once before I leave. It's that good. It's hard to find a better bang for your buck in terms of gustatory delight when these skewers are $1.50. I don't know how they prepare their meat, but it's always so juicy and flavorful. It's insane... you really have to try it for yourself. I highly, highly recommend the lamb, and definitely spicy. I don't think it's that spicy, but you can ask for only a little if you're worried. I wouldn't get the chicken because it's the least "interesting," in my opinion (i.e. easiest to replicate at home). Beef is a good secondary choice if you're not into lamb. I keep telling myself that I'll try the other stuff when I come, but unfortunately, I'm not in Flushing too much, so I always end up resorting to getting a bunch of lamb, because that's what I miss when I think about this cart (plus, it's 50 cent more, so it's hard to justify when I know how good lamb is). If I do try them someday, I'll make sure to update this review. Honestly, I've never tried any of the carts (to think that there are better ones in Flushing... that's a day trip in itself), but the skewers here have become one of my favorite foods, period. read more

I was so shocked when I walked to the address listed above and found no cart. The vendor in the photo told me that they moved up the block to serve under the parking garage (see info I left in the tip section!) Do I travel 1 hour to flushing for 4 sticks of lamb with burst in your mouth seasoning? Yes Do I finish all 4 sticks before I even get to the end of the block? Yes This is cash only read more

It's always fun to have one or two BBQs when you walk by. However, they put too much seasoning and I sometimes wonder if they try to cover the stale. Hopefully I am wrong. read more

Xinjiang BBQ Cart #2 - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

This is the best BBQ cart of Flushing. I always forget to take pictures because I literally cannot stop to think about anything but to stuff the lamb skewer in my mouth the moment I get it. They have the perfect amount of seasoning and mainly cumin on there, and when you ask for hella spicy - they deliver! Awesome authentic taste, so worth the price!!!!!! Must eat every time I pass by. read more

*Grunt* This place fits in perfectly with 2 of my recurring Yelp review themes: 1) It makes me poop & 2) It's ghetto Lately I've been addicted to using the ampersand symbol (it looks like a stick figure dragging his butt across the floor). Anywho, you shouldn't be concerned about the diarrhetic (hehe, play on words) portion of this review; anything spicy makes me need a bathroom anyways, so trust me, it's not them, it's me... I should probably do something about that... Maybe I'm dying. My general heuristic to cart food is: the simpler the better, and this cart is almost as simple as it gets. Beef, chicken, or lamb, spicy or not spicy. I don't like telling people what to eat but nobody gets the beef, it's all about the spicy chicken. They use a sort of spicy powder that I've never come across anywhere else; even the texture of the spice sprinkled onto my stick of meat is none I've ever encountered. A part of the fun I have with this place is trying to figure out what that spice is & speaking of sticks of meat, I'm suddenly reminded of one of SuperBad's best lines. "You know how many foods are shaped like dicks? The best kinds!" - Jonah Hill Several other add ons to enjoy your chicken to mouth experience is the fat content & location. I don't know the exact percentages of blah blah blah, I just know that I hate chewy meat and so far, they've trimmed all of the fat off of the kebabs I've ordered. And probably the biggest factor for their consistent business is that they're a block away from the train station, and not even the shitty long side of the block, the short side. It's like less than a minute from the train. Yeah, I've got nothing else to say. Maybe I should go see a doctor. read more

Hi, did the Yang Rou Cart(Xinjiang BBQ Cart #2) actually got moved to the corner of 39th avenue and 138th st from main street in Chinatown, Flushing, New York? whenever the I next time I come back to New York, I gotta try the lamb skewers. read more

Spending the day in Flushing, how can you not eat your way through all of the delicious places! I was told a must go to was this cart in particular. Delicious little snacks of authentic skewer joys on the go :) read more

DISAPPOINTING!!! I used to go to a small BBQ place across from the mall/ Macy's. However, they stopped selling it :(. So I had to find a new one. I passed by this cart and decided to give it a try. I got chicken gizzard skewer and my friend got lamb skewer. The flavor was very mediocre, it definitely needed more seasoning. The lamb was burnt and didn't taste like lamb. Not much of service is offered since it's street food. They are not very organized with ordering system. I will probably NOT get skewers from this place in the future. read more

I just had the lamb and chicken heart skewers and omg, I was mind blown by how authentic the taste was! I would say the quality was on par with the street food skewers in China. If it wasn't because I have a train to catch, I would have eaten 50 more skewers on the spot. read more

Lamb skewers are incredible. This is the type of spot you miss when you live somewhere that doesn't have a nice street food culture. I think this may be some of the best lamb I've ever had. Perfectly spicy and well grilled. There's a lot of options here in Chinatown and when I say this is one of your best ones, I mean it, even if it isn't a proper "restaurant." read more

Just as good as #1, but in a less insane location. Chicken hearts and extra-spiced lamb can't be beat. Wash it down with some of the Golden Eggies from the cart nearby and you have yourself a balanced lunch* *Heart attack read more

It's hard to rate a place like this - it's literally a street cart that makes meat on a stick. The lamb is really their signature with a lot of cumin flavor as well as other spices. Whatever the meat is made of, it's tender and juicy and flavorful. Awesome and cheap. read more

This guy is on 38th ave, not 39th. 39th ave is a different cart. Both are very good and same price. I go to both a lot. Cumin spiced bbq sticks are a nice change of pace from the other great bbq you can find throughout Queens. read more

Came here one time to this cart got the pork Shish kebab it was good...

Pretty good shish kabobs and they're super cheap. Sometimes it comes out too fatty for my liking and that is a complete turn off for me.

This guy has great BBQ! The lamb skewers are fantastic. He is usually parked on Main St & 39th Ave in Flushing, couldn't be more central and convenient. read more
