    Wooooow! Never crave for skewers before in my life. Bieber said never say never. Someone said these skewers are better than any expensive steak. Couldn't agree more! We only sampled the chicken, beef, and lamb. All spiced up. We waited about 15 mins for them. I realized people placed a big order and come back after a bit of shopping. What a pro move. I never regret anything in my life. I regret not ordering more! The skewers were godly! I can't describe it but one bite can take you to heaven. Super flavorful! So glad to have tapped into this xinjiang bbq game. Can't wait to come back for more!!

    Lamb is so bomb!!!

    Skewers are such a childhood snack for me; whenever the Chinese New Year Festival came about, I would think about how much BBQ Chicken Skewers could I eat in a night. But with inflation, it wasn't really worth getting even one skewer for the night.... Stumbling on this cart in New York was such a dream because the prices were so reasonable and the vast variety they had was crazy! If we didn't have other meal plans for the day, I would of tried one of everything! The true winner of the skewers was defintely the lamb! All the reviews said that even if you don't like lamb, you would love theirs and I could see why. The gaminess was not prominent whatsoever and my friend who does not care for lamb wanted more! I really wished I could of bought back a dozen sticks back home for my friends who hate lamb just to see their reactions as well -sigh- why is New York so far from Hawaii...

    Lamb Skewer + Squid Skewer

    Wooow. I spontaneously stopped here and it was so worth it. Squid Skewer: 5/5 - Had the perfect texture and amount of spice (it's on the spicy side for sure) Lamb Skewer: 5/5 - Perfectly seasoned as well We approached the line and soon after someone asked us for our order. Unfortunately we were behind some large orders so even though we only ordered two skewers (We wanted to just try it out first) we waited maybe 20 minutes for it to be done. Not really an ideal wait time for two sticks so we started to get a bit skeptical. However after the first bite we knew it was worth it, and we wish we'd ordered more. The line got too long so we left, however we're definitely coming back to get more and try other skewers too.

    Loved the lamb and chicken heart skewers here but really did not like the beef tendon. Lamb and chicken heart were so perfectly smokey and juicy, I believe it was $1.75 each (cash only). But beef tendon was v different from beef tendon skewers I've had at other Chinese bbq places - it was really tough and stringy, couldn't chew it at all and was overloaded with sauce.

    This place is bomb. We come here every time we visit Flushing because the skewers are just so good. Prices are very reasonable (~$2/skewer), they're grilled-to-order, and you can choose between spicy and non-spicy options. We usually order the lamb skewers and ask for them spicy - they're always perfectly seasoned and hot off the grill. Heaven!

    Lamb slightly over cooked

    Cheap ($1.75), fast and delish. They used real charcoal to get that smokey texture & flavor. The chicken was moist & tender, the lamb was slightly over cooked so it was more tough, thankfully there were enough fatty parts to keep it juicy. Its located right in front of the Paris Baguette in the Queens Crossing. We still prefer the bbq cart at prince/Roosevelt a bit more as the lamb was fattier & juicier for 25 cents less.

    This is my new to go snack place, the cart is located across from Paris Baguette Bakery.my fave are chicken and beef tendon. The meats cook right, they trimmed the burn side. You can order spicy or regular. Waiting time is okay because I came on Saturday afternoon. Definitely will order again.

    as others have mentioned, this bbq cart is actually located across from the paris baguette. the skewers here are delicious - the barbeque coating is just so good and savory and cumin-y. the lamb and beef skewers were both perfectly cooked too. at $2 a pop these are the perfect street eat as you're wandering around flushing.

    Sometimes the simplest of foods, when done right, are truly the best. Xinjiang BBQ cart does bbq right and if you are blessed to come across the dude who makes them, do yourself a favor and drop by to get yourself some. Even after being full of eating all around Flushing, I couldn't resist helping myself to a skewer once I smelled the well-seasoned meat over a flaming charcoal grill. There seems to be several bbq options, but I just went with the lamb. And within a few quick minutes, he gets them out to you and can make it spicier upon request. Yes, some of the pieces of meat were pretty fatty, but I'm not going to pretend like I didn't enjoy it because I did haha. At $1.50 per skewer, I'll definitely be back to treat myself to some more Xinjiang BBQ.

    Delicious bbq with a fair price. Waits can be really long if you are coming right when they setup, but still worth it. Meats are juicy and delicious. There are 4-5 carts in the area that sell something similar so if you want to go specifically to this place, compare the signs and menus.

    Two words: cheap (less than $2) and delicious! The yelp map doesn't work and it's actually in front of the paris baguette in flushing but you'll be able to find it by smell and a crowd of people with scewers. The owners don't speak english but pointing worked pretty easily! Definitely get the lamb skewers and the squid!chicken gizzard was not bad either. Don't be afraid to get 5 per person because you will end up back in line after one. There is usually about 10~15 mins wait but it moves fast and is worth it. Will come back to flushing just for this!

    The smell is immaculate and the seasoning on the food is on point. I got the lamb and squid, and it was extremely flavorful. To get there, don't use the yelp map. Type in Paris baguette into maps, and it's across the street to the side of the store (not in front of the store). It's next to a large parking lot. I highly recommend visiting for a quick snack or meal, and I will be back.

    Where is the truck now? I heard all the food trucks were banned. :( This was my favorite "meat on a stick" cart! Waaaaaah!

    Yes, I'm wondering the same. Where are all the food carts??

There was a lot of energy in the place. The wait staff were friendly. Food was great but was pricey per skewer. Food 5/5: Delicious and tasted close to skewer cart (this is a win!). Would have loved to try more things but some skewers were up to $3 each so it got pricey fast. They did have a large selection of skewers to choose from. You get a wrist band with a QR code that tracks what skewers you order. Non-skewer items could be ordered using your phone. Everything was fresh. They had house-made spice and sauce packets at each table. Every table had a cheat sheet showing how long to barbecue each type of skewer. We tried the bbq scallops which were full of garlicky goodness and cold noodles which was a refreshing balance to the heat of the grill. Service 5/5: Friendly waiter. Gave us the run down on how things worked in the restaurant. Periodically checked in on us. No complaints. Ambiance 4/5: Prefacing that the high energy environment was not really my cup of tea but I know others may prefer it. Bright flashing lights and loud music playing over speakers drowned out conversation. That said, the tables were spaced well so every party had their own personal space and restaurant was clean.

Ordered by scanning the qr code and checking off different items from you phone for them to bring the items to your table. Beef, shrimp, chicken, lamb and various seafood to cook on skewers that rotate on the table grill. Price ranges around 2 to 5$ per stick of meat. They didn't have okra and some items were out of stock when I went.

There were several occupied tables, but we still received plenty of attention from the servers throughout the meal. I've tried a few similar places, and this one continues to stand out. The meat portions are generous, and they can handle high heat well enough to develop a great sear. One major change since my previous visits is the appetizer selection. The menu has shifted heavily toward sushi and sashimi offerings. If you're someone like me who enjoys both premium cuts of meat and fresh sashimi, this is pretty much the ideal combination. They now offer many more specialty rolls than before, and the quality of the salmon and tuna also seemed noticeably better. My husband, however, would disagree. Since he doesn't really care for sashimi and prefers not to fill up on rolls, he would have liked to see a stronger selection of traditional appetizers and sides. Another welcome change is that lobster is now unlimited instead of being restricted to a single serving. The lobsters themselves are smaller, which I didn't mind, but both the cheese lobster and the garlic butter lobster were incredibly salty. I'm not sure if it was the seasoning or the type of lobster being used, but the garlic butter version was "clog-my-arteries" salty. I mentioned it to the kitchen simply as feedback, although I wasn't planning on ordering any more regardless. The only items limited to one order per person were the Kumamoto oysters topped with uni and caviar, the sweet shrimp with caviar, and one other premium item that I can't quite remember. Everything else was unlimited, including their new sauce station and ice cream machine. I especially appreciated the expanded sauce selection. On my previous visits, they only offered their Asian spice blend, which is still my favorite. But when I saw they had A1 sauce available, I had to do it--I dipped the A5 in A1. I can't believe they offered it, but once I saw it there, it felt like a rite of passage. One disappointment was that they had run out of foie gras. I had my cash ready and everything. If you pay cash, you receive complimentary foie gras with the Wagyu and uni, so I was definitely looking forward to it. To their credit, they offered us a premium abalone appetizer as a substitute, but I politely declined and opted to pay by credit card instead. The servers were friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. There was never any concern about running out of time during the 90-minute dining window. In fact, by the time the 90 minutes were up, I couldn't imagine fitting in another bite. The manager, or at least who I assumed was the manager also stopped by to check on us, made conversation, and was very pleasant. One thing I especially appreciate about this place is that I've never felt rushed. Even when we've gone beyond the 90-minute mark, the staff still comes by to ask if we'd like to order anything else. There's no countdown or "last call" pressure like you often find at other ACYE spots. Overall, it was another very enjoyable meal. I left unbelievably stuffed and, despite a few minor criticisms, still felt it was absolutely worth it.

For two of us to eat our hearts content is $136, before tax, which is a pretty good deal. You are allow up to 2 hours however.

Best to come during the slower times so you can optimize the most of your 2 hours eating as much food as possible.

Additional notes: - we thought it was funny that they put sprinkles in the potato salad, it may seem kind of odd but definitely very Chinese (compliment btw) - it ended up being almost $50 pp for 4 people - we got lucky and didn't have to wait, but I hear there's usually a line, so definitely call ahead to suss out the wait
