I went there thinking the place is cheap because they have advertisement for 0.3 per one bbq. But the hot pot itself was $18 and just eating the bbq would not get you full stomach. When you open the menu everything extra is around $11 $12 dollars. One of the beef said $0 on the menu but it would actually $10.99, they told me they put the price on the title. Just myself one person I paid forty something close to $47 $48 for the food and plus the tips was around $60. TOO EXPENSIVE DO NOT COME HERE.

Cute place away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Flushing. It's a twist from traditional hotpot where you can pick skewers to cook in the pot. Each one is only 30 cents! Granted they are fairly small with just a bite of meat, but perfect if you want to sample different things. The interior is also super adorable and fun. Highly recommend!

I walked into this establishment with confusion. A big part of it was because they didn't speak English and I had to figure out what I was doing. This is a different hot pot experience than I expected. They had skewers you could pick out in the fridge that you could just dump into your boiling pot and then they had items on the menu that they cook/grill for you in the kitchen that you order through the waiter/waitress. They also had some raw items you had to order through the kitchen. Everything was flavorful and spiccccay. They had a sauce station in the corner of the room. I had low expectations for their milk tea but I needed to chug it because of the spicy food but honestly it was not bad. I was pleasantly surprised. It was kind of pricey for a two person hotpot and definitely a lot more than what I would have paid at a regular hotpot spot but nonetheless I will be back!

This location is convenient if you drive and don't want to go to downtown flushing. The service was just okay, lacking at time. The food is okay, nothing above average. The place is nicely decorated but the seats they picked are just benches.

We came here on one cold windy day. The have various choices for the soup. You can choose the skewers ($0.3 each skewer) in the fridge or the side dishes (order separately). There are no english words for the skewers. The waiters are attentive although they speak little english. We love that they have small side table to put the tea, tissue, waste bin etc. Each table fit max 4 people. There is a basket /laundry hamper under the table where you can put your jacket inside, we think that is a genius idea. Taste is good, expected for these kind of food. It would be great if they have english translation so we don't have to guess what kind of meat. We spent $100 for two. All in all , a good choice for cold weather and hang out with friends!

Skewers Fridge

Ever heard of a skewer place that sells 30 cents for a piece of meat!? Such a chill place with yummy, eat-as-you-go location with great and attentive waiters. Great place to come if you feel like eating something spicy and can't decide on what to eat specifically. Definitely recommend Word of advice for any place where you eat spicy food, do NOT wear white

First time trying hot pot with screw. Very testy broth. Love the spicy. Will come back fo

I've walked past this place many times and finally tried it last Saturday night. We got there around 6:15pm and were seated immediately. 2 adults and 1 kid. For the broth, we ordered half pork bone soup and half spicy soup $16.99. The pork bone soup could have had more flavor. Each skewer is $0.30, and other plates ranging from $3.99 to $10.99 depending on the color code. It was such a fun experience for my daughter to pick her own skewers from the fridge, cook it and eat it. One of my only issue is that the sauce station is small at $2.99 ​​per person and doesn't have much choice. But that won't stop me from coming back next time! Overall, definitely recommend this place!

This is a great place to try the spicy hop pot. Clean and great price and service!

This is a great place that you have to give a try for spicy hot pot! Indoor is clean and service is great!

Shrimp skewers

Was craving some lamb skewers from the older Chinese man with the food cart on Kissena Blvd across from where Yu's Garden used to be but he wasn't there. Saw the sign on the outside of the restaurant offering different types of skewers so I decided to give them a shot. I ordered the deep fried pork belly, pork intestine, shrimp and corn skewered and I wasn't disappointed. In fact I quite enjoyed it! I'll be back to check out more offerings from the menu (but I'll pass on the Pig Brain and Duck Blood hotpot...).

Sandy F.

Spice soup base was tasty. And kids love it coz all on sticks it is different kind of hotpot.

The service was amazing, very attentive, and everything was clean. The food was pretty good, but there were some dishes I liked more than others. Ordering the boiled chicken slices as an app was the wrong move. It tasted okay, as good as it sounds, but I don't think it was the best app option. The pork belly in mashed garlic was good, but I wish the cucumbers had been more chilled and fresh. I liked Uluh's version of this dish more. Next time I would try the boiled chicken in chili sauce or the crispy fish. The flavor and texture of the braised pork belly were amazing. The pork was tender and fatty. The prawns were fantastic and very garlicky, just how we like it! The rice was pretty good and actually had a decent amount of seafood, but I found the shrimp to be the same quality you would get from a takeout Chinese restaurant. The rice was also on the more steamed side, less on the dry side. All in all, I thought the food was decent, but the service was amazing and the vibes were also a plus.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I first came here years ago when they were at their original ground-floor location, not too far…read morefrom where they are now. They've since shortened their name, which is probably a good move for branding purposes. The soup dumplings are still the same, delicious as ever. I've tried everything from their noodle dishes to their scallion pancakes, and they've all been great. The pork soup dumplings are my favorite. The pan-fried pork buns are also bomb. I really like the crispy bottoms. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you've never tried soup dumplings before or are simply in the mood for some.

We wanted to compare the XLB to Din Tai Fung.. I haven't been to Nan Xiang in 13 years... They…read morecompletely renovated the place... nicer. Just as when we were gonna pit our names on the waiting list, the host appeared and told us to go upstairs. We sat near the area where the dumplings were made. We ordered the Lucky 6 so we can sample different flavors but we still got an order of pork soup dumplings as well. Also ordered the shrimp wonton soup. I noticed they had passion fruit tea and omg you should definitely get it. It was so good. Grapefruit peach.. just okay in comparison.. Our wonton soup came first which is enough for 3 ppl if you just want a bowl to try. It had lil tiny shrimps in it ...not used to that but the flavor of the soup was light and the wontons were good. Skin was thin, not dense at all. Then our XLB came. I really liked the sampler. I tried the Scallop, chicken, pork and Luffa Gourd. L had the truffle and crab.. we were able to taste the flavors. They're light but very distinct. We don't eat too much sodium or processed food in our diets so we were able to distinguish each one. I actually liked the Scallop and chicken ones. The gourd one was really sweet but I could definitely taste the melon flavor. Chicken was savory and a touch better than the pork XLB...the scallop one was very unique. Light but very yummy. L said the crab one actually had more flavor than other restaurants in Chinatown. And we both prefer these to the ones at Din Tai Fung. Price isn't an issue but taste wise this has a ton of soup, more flavor. DTF tastes almost like a frozen XLB cuz it's so small and doesn't have any soup! I have purchased frozen ones from restaurants before. Will definitely come here or a different location if I feel like having XLB. Service was pretty good. Very attentive. Refilled our tea all the time and when we ordered more items...everything was quick. Nice spot to grab a quick, casual meal.

I don't think I am a fan of the taichi beef though but that's more of a personal preference. The medium spicy though they warned me is spicy, is actually spicy. I got medium and I was having too great of a time. I had to take the l and go for the non-spicy mushroom soup base at the end. The service was exceptional. The best service I had in any hotpot place. Also, the servers don't feel a certain type of way helping customers they weren't assigned to unlike other places which I thought was great. I asked a lot dumb questions and they were great in answering all my questions. The restaurant was clean and nice. Everything smelled great because ofbthe hotpot. From what I saw, the restaurant is themed around a more village area in China. It reminded me of my village. Wonderful hotpot place overall. Would recommend 10/10.

We came around 3:30pm on a Saturday and had to wait nearly 2 hours for a table for 4 people. The wait time is also longer than they initially provide as it was only supposed to be 1 hour wait. If there is no wait time, then I would recommend. The service is amazing - the servers make sure everything is taken care of and they even tell you that if anything doesn't taste good, they can adjust or remove it for you. The food itself isn't that different compared to other spots, although I will say the food is very fresh. Our favorite items were probably the tai chi beef and the thick sliced tender beef. Both were tender and tasted good. There is a $1.95 charge for sauce station per person so make sure to use it. The interior will take you back to ancient China as it is very aesthetically pleasing. Worth it if there is no wait, but if there is a wait, I would go somewhere else.

This place was awesome. The portion-to-price ratio was excellent, and the flavors delivered across…read morethe board. We came with a big party of 12, and they were very accommodating, splitting the table and taking separate orders for three families. Let's just say each family ordered plenty. I only wish I'd snapped pictures of what the other families got. We started with the Lucky Six soup dumplings. They came out extremely quick, with just the right amount of broth, and the wrappers weren't so delicate that you had to worry about puncturing them pulling them out of the steamer basket. They held up well and tasted excellent. From there we ordered a whole bunch more. Think family-style portions, but more generous: - **Grandma's braised pork belly** - Super tender, with a flavorful sauce and quail eggs, not too salty. - **Spicy beef and tripe** - Served cold with very thin slices in a nice spicy sauce. It had a kick but wasn't overly hot. - **Peking duck** - We ordered a half duck, and it came with more than enough bao buns to build your own. A nice touch: since we were a big table, they also offered each of the 12 of us a complimentary ready-made Peking duck bun or soup dumpling, including the other two families. We all went with the duck buns, and they were excellent. - **Pan-fried noodles with pork, shrimp and fish** - The one miss. It was so saucy that the noodles were drenched and lost all their crispiness. - **Yang Chow fried rice** - Very nicely done, with big shrimp. These weren't the usual quarter-sized ones, more like half-dollar size. - **Soy sauce squid** - Cooked perfectly, not too salty and not overcooked to the point of being gummy. I also sampled from the other families' tables. Their dim sum dumplings were huge, and the honey roast chicken wings were excellent, crispy with a nice sweet glaze. For dessert, they brought us complimentary sweet soy milk soup with glutinous rice balls. It was sweet but not overly so, and it was awesome. One thing that was new to me: when the bills came, we could pay with Zelle, Venmo or cash. Great spot for a big group. I'd come back just for the pork belly, the duck buns and the soup dumplings.

Plenty of room for a big family dinning!…read more Quick and delicious food. It also comes with complementary soup dumplings or Peking duck for each person.

I was at this Szechuan restaurant earlier in the evening with six others (thanks again, Andie),…read morewhere we sampled a good amount of their dishes. As mentioned, it's a pretty tiny space with one large table that fits 8 comfortably, though probably 9 could fit if needed. Otherwise, there were some smaller seating arrangements. The service was friendly and efficient when it came to taking out dishes and our ordering process. For the table, they gave us some lukewarm water, which was refilled frequently when required. They asked about the spice level, and our host went with medium, which worked, with some of us clarifying that "mala" is fine. In terms of flavors, most dishes had a nice numbing sensation from peppercorns and had plenty of heat, but not so much that it overpowered any one dish. The prices overall might be slightly higher than some other places, but they make up for it with their portion sizes and also by including rice with all entrees. Our only appetizer was the $11 Smashed Szechuan Cucumbers. The cucumbers were sliced into slightly large pieces, and there was a nice sauce that had both heat and a mild black vinegar flavor. I found the ginger a bit light, but overall, it was refreshing and tasty and worked well with some other dishes, which arrived soon afterward. My favorite of the main entrees was the Spicy Shrimp for $32, which was in a giant pot with a good 14 or so large shrimp inside, if not more. Along with the shrimp, there were also potatoes, peppers, scallions, onions, and lotus root slices. The dish reminded me a lot of Mala Xiang Guo/麻辣香鍋/Spicy Dry Pot, which is one of my favorite Szechuan dishes. The shrimp inside were prepared perfectly, while the potatoes were soft and the lotus root had a good crunch. I would recommend this highly. The other most expensive dish was the $40 Xu Chu Braised Chicken, which also arrived in a giant pot. The chicken could be ordered braised or fried, and we got the former. The meat was on the bone, as expected, and tender, with the pieces in a very red broth. This was tasty, with the sour pickled pepper adding a nice extra flavor, along with the typical mala from the non-pickled peppers and peppercorns. A more typical dish, though not in a typical presentation, was the tasty Cumin Beef, which was $30. In comparison to most other spots, the beef was cut into larger slices. Usually, I haven't liked this before, as the larger pieces of beef weren't tender, but that was not the case here. Otherwise, there was a mix of vegetables, including the standard onions along with large pieces of pepper, both green and red. If I had to make a complaint, I wish the onions were also sliced thinner, as they lacked a bit of cumin compared to the meat. Another more typical dish was the $20 Szechuan Bacon, which was their version of Hui Guo Rou/回鍋肉, or Double/Twice Cooked Pork Belly. The pork belly was tender with only a mild chew, and the scallions added a nice refreshing flavor. The heat was there, but I found the douchi/black bean flavor a bit light. I didn't mind this, though, as it made it a bit less salty than usual, and there was plenty of flavor otherwise. The last of the more unique dishes was the Crispy Pork Ribs for $24. The ribs were lightly fried and tender, but some others found them a tad salty. As with other dishes, this came with the usual mix of peppers and vegetables. Finally, the last typical dish was the $13 Mapo Tofu. The portion was a bit smaller than other spots, but that makes sense, as this was the cheapest of all the mains. There was some sourness and a bit of heat, with my only complaint being that I prefer a slightly firmer tofu in this dish for texture, but that's a regional quip. Outside my personal tofu preferences, the flavor was good. They gave us some Bingfen/Sichuan Ice Jelly/冰粉 as a complimentary dessert at the end, which was a nice touch. The ice jelly had a mild sweetness from the brown sugar syrup, and it was refreshing. The toppings included the typical hawthorn/haw flakes on top for sourness, golden raisins for sweetness, and peanuts for crunch. The dessert made a fine ending to our excellent meal. Overall, we had a very good meal here, and I look forward to going back. I wouldn't mind trying their pig trotters, or especially their fish, among other things. I can see why they're popular.

It's a rather small restaurant, with only one large round table, which comfortably seats 8ppl. Otherwise, there are square table of 2-4ppl. There was a constant flow of patrons the entire time we were there. Customer service and hospitality were great; very professional, friendly and efficient. Our shared menu: (We ordered everything "regular spicy", which, for me, was medium spicy but very spicy for others): ~ Smashed Szechuan Cucumbers ($11): fantastic! This is a cold, spicy appetizer. Crisp, flavorful and refreshingly delicious. ~ Xu Chu Braised Chicken ($40): this is a huge pot of chicken; the chicken can be ordered braised or fried. We ordered the braised, and it was delicious. Recommended! ~ Szechuan Bacon ($20): usually called Double Cooked Pork Belly in other restaurants. This was very good. It included lots of hot peppers and vegs. ~ Crispy Pork Ribs ($24): The fried pieces of pork ribs were perfection; albeit slightly greasy (it is fried, after all). This dish also included lots of hot pepper and vegs. ~ Mapo Tofu ($13): this was probably the most standard dish of the bunch. But still very good! ~ Cumin Beef ($30): most of the time, when I order this dish in other restaurants, it just includes the protein. This version had cumin Beef along with lots of hot peppers and vegs. Very good but the pieces of been were small pieces. ~ Spicy Shrimp ($32): this was a very generous portion of large shrimps (shell & head on). This huge pot was full of shrimp, hot peppers, potatoes, lotus root, and other spices. Recommended! ~ Rice (complimentary with each entree). ** They served everyone a complimentary refreshingly cool jelly dessert with Hawthorn flakes on top. This was the perfect way to end our spicy Szechuan dinner! The cool jellys cooled off your szechuan numbed mouth and the hawthorn flakes help with digestion. This was such a well thought out dessert! Kudos and thank you! As I mentioned before, they have a huge menu. I'm looking forward to a return visit to explore their other dishes! Recommended!!

The environment is clean, and staff was welcoming when I dined here on a Friday evening with other Yelp Elites. The restaurant filled up with people very quickly. I cannot remember having better Northeastern Chinese food anywhere. The food came with an amazing presentation, taste, freshness and quality. I am a huge fan of the Cumin Flounder, which is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It is the best flounder that I have ever tasted in my life! The Beef Tenderloin in Brown Sauce is to die for. I loved the Minted Salted Egg Yolk and Sliced Pumpkin so much that I will come back here to order it for Thanksgiving dinner. If you can handle the spice, go for the Fried Squid Head with Spicy Peppery Sauce. It was the table favorite because most of us prefer the head or tentacles of calamari to the rings. The Molten Sugar-Crusted Yams and Dates were phenomenal. It came with a bowl of water on the side to remove stickiness from the serving spoon between helpings. We also feasted on the Sautéed Shredded Beef with Spicy Pepper, Cumin Lamb, Sliced Potatoes with Truffles and Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The pickled salad certainly tickled my fancy. TIP: Eat everything with chopsticks for portion control. Thank you Andie for putting this all together, and the birthday cake that Mike bought for you was a decadent surprise because it was so chocolatey and moist.
