Still the best! Their new menu is fantastic--the crab and clams are to die for. Service is excellent as always. Every time we're in Columbus, we make it a point to stop here for dinner before heading back.

Enoki Mushrooms w.Garlic Sauce-蒜蓉金针菇
Anvaya N.

Zhu SHI Fu is a unique barbecue restaurant that specializes in northern Chinese skewers and stir fry dishes. The place is tiny and quaint with some unique Asian decorations. The menu focuses on skewers and casseroles. The options are simple from chicken to shrimp to lamb. The seasoning is not spicy but more cumin forward and goes will with alcohol. The place allows BYOB and that's how traditional Chinese places do it. You order bunch of skewers and drink through the night chitchatting with your friends. They do have vegetarian options in green beans or potato. The fried rice and ramen are flavorful but skewers is where it's at. The service is very quick and easy. You can the barcode on the table and place your order. It was sad to see the place kind of empty on Friday night, we need more authentic places like these around town. If you are in Columbus and want to try something unique and exciting please go visit them.

Salted Egg York Chicken Wings - NEW- - NEW

The food was good! A unique menu that I haven't seen before in Columbus. The skewers were good and had a strong cumin flavor. The potato and fried rice were average but we were happy with them. The salted egg yolk chicken wings were a favorite, so good! The service was subpar, they don't check up on tables or water. The interior design was really cool but the tables were really tight and small.

Seems like I've been waiting almost a year for this to open, since I saw the "coming soon" sign while going to a show at Rumba. Finally opened last week, evening hours only, and I found a chance to swing by. It's tiny, in a space that has been sandwich shops and other things over the years. Fully redecorated into a very cool, authentically Chinese spot, with an authentic menu. There are a dozen or so two-tops, which they can rearrange for larger parties. Some carryout business when I was there, but plenty of dine-in. They set the tables with nice glasses, a small grill, etc. Should have dined in but took it out. Go to the coffee shop down the way or the record store (THE record store, IYKYK) across the street while you wait. Parking can be a hassle in this neighborhood. Service was great even for a to-go person like me; when I came back and had to wait a bit longer, they sat me down and gave me ice water. Super friendly and knowledgeable, and patient with someone who didn't know what everything was. Fairly limited menu with meat or veggie skewers, and a few entrees and apps. I got an assortment. The skewers were perfectly cooked and seasoned; a hint of heat in some but not hot. The cabbage was nicely grilled and tasty. The special lamb was my favorite, seconded by the beef. I also got a regular (smaller and less seasoned) lamb and a pork belly. Still pretty good. Also a Chinese hot dog, a sausage that is very close to a frankfurter, slivered so it grills up nice (almost seems deep fried) and lightly seasoned. And, I got cheese corn. I'd heard about it but never seen it, and was curious. Huge bowl for $4.50. And: it's cheese and corn, mixed together, broiled maybe, so there's a nice brown top. Very good. This and the hot dog would be good if you have kids with you. Everything was good, some of it was great, and there a few other things on the menu that I really want to try. Glad to see it, and it was worth the wait.

Gotta say this place is fantastic. Ordered through DoorDash on my short overnight in Columbus and very impressed. Quality of the food is amazing and price is also reasonable. Will definitely try more items next time in Columbus.

The food is amazing. We first went on a Saturday and ate in restaurant. This time I Ubered an order. The Pork Sausage on a stick is amazing. The cucumber salad had so much flavor. The Enoki mushrooms will keep me coming back again and again. The restaurant is super small so I probably won't be dinner in again but take out is a must. It's pretty inexpensive so you can get the bang for your buck. I'll be dreaming about those mushrooms until I can have them again.

I went there Friday evening with friends. Nice Chinese barbecue restaurant. Really like the fried rice.

I love this place and how late they are open. They should be getting 5 stars from me but I'm docking 1 for the fact that they don't sell white rice. The only carby options are $11 fried rice or fried noodles. Let me eat a small bowl of plain rice for a couple dollars. Good service, modern simple aesthetics.

Very much tasting, not necessarily to get full *Service: Friendly, attentive, but not hovering *Ambiance: Clean, quite during happy hour, however, starts to fill up as the evening continues. * Menu: Limited happy hour menu, don't expect a full menu, but what they offer is done well Must Order: * Sticky Roasted Carrots. I don't like carrots and I couldn't stop grabbing a piece Drinks: * The Sycamore Old Fashion... very strong, but I like strong drinks Cost: $33 w/o tip | $44 with tip (split between 2 people) * What we ordered: Sticky carrots Meze Scallops (not on happy hour menu) The Sycamore Old Fashion Italian 90 *Comes with complimentary bread. Also, gluten free options* Best for: Casual check in Low key date maybe if you work near German Village. Traffic during happy hour is a bit backed up I wouldn't go for solo dining, unless I sat outside during warmer weather. However, the feeling is best for a quick get together with 1-2 friends. Would I come back? ... Yes! Definitely for Happy Hour.

Finally came to for lunch on a Sunday and it was pretty quiet inside, very clean and plenty of space to seat and eat. Parking is available at Vine Street Garage and I believe all the vendors at North Market should be able to validate parking. Ok now for the food, I ordered the chicken sandwich but I opted for the Range dressing, because I just love HCT's ranch. I can have the ranch with everything. The sandwich came with 2 sliced of white bread on both sides, pickles and slaw. I have never had the sandwich before this event, and let me tell you, the sandwich is huge. You will make a mess, but it's worth it! It was delicious especially when you pair it with their sweet tea! As always the staff at any HCT are very friendly and prompt, this location was no exception. Good food and good service, can't beat that! Can't wait to visit HCT again!

I also noticed a large fridge being used in the back, which made me wonder how fresh the food really is. Chicken Tenders: came out hot and moist. Still, Hatty B's holds the top spot for me. Pickles: Much sweeter than expected--if you like sweet pickles, you'll enjoy them. Hush Puppies: These were a standout. Super crispy and well-seasoned. Fries: The wavy cut was fun, but they were pale, under-seasoned, and needed to be crispier. Mac & Cheese: Creamy and cheesy, just how it should be. But why was it served in prepackaged containers? Sauces The hot honey ranch was excellent. Their regular ranch and comeback sauce were also surprisingly good.
