    K2.Lamb kebab (L)
    Amy Yu T.

    Four stars for service, but 5 stars for food. I'm very well versed with regard to Northeastern Chinese food and I can say that this is one of the best and most authentic I've had in NYC. We tried their skewers and specialties. I really recommend the lamb leg, lamb skewer, squid skewer and garlic cucumber. Everything they make is tasty and authentic. The spice mix was just right for all the dishes. I removed a star because the service is very VERY slow and inefficient here as they appear to be understaffed. They also have a popular takeout clientele and they have a bell to alert that the delivery personnel is here, which is a bit annoying to hear every five minutes. Their alcohol and drink selection is also a bit unsatisfactory. Overall, I'd say to come here for the food, and bear with the service! I'll definitely come back to try other items of their menu.

    Really good lamb skewers! My fiancé is from northern China and he said they're very authentic and really enjoyed the flavor. We're from Rockville maryland where there's a lot of Asian food and these were better than the lamb skewers at our favorite restaurant in Rockville. The restaurant has a couple of tables and also does take-out.

    I got chicken hearts and cumin lamb lunch special. Order came with a drink too and was around 19 in the end. The lamb was really good (perfect crisp and perfect flavors, couldn't imagine it any better for the price). I didn't love the chicken hearts personally. Overall pretty fast and pretty good, couldn't call in advance to order though

    海瓜子和茄子 - 好吃
    Yulu H.

    Best Chinese bbq place I've had in NYC so far!! And best bbq takeout. All skewers were wrapped nicely. Portions were great. Everything tasted great I really can't complain! The oyster, lamb skewers, lamb kidneys, beef wrapped shiitake mushrooms skewers were def recommended. 第一次吃中街大串没想到是通过外卖。老板人特别好还专程给我打电话提醒我有满赠活动。订了一大堆东西都很好吃。就海瓜子几乎没沙这一样我就可以打满分。生蚝是满赠的,又肥又入味。茄子稍微小点吧但味道也很好。羊腰子满分一点不腥。基本的牛羊肉串也中规中矩味道合适。一定要说的话鸡皮稍微差点,选的鸡皮太肥撒的调料略甜。鱿鱼须啊青椒啊都很好。他们家菜式很多下次还会更多尝试别的菜。

    So good! It's been a long time that I had some Dongbei food so good and so authentic! A perfect combination of Dongbei BBQ and seafood boil. The portions are large and the price is incredibly low, about $20 per person. Must-try: French fries, sea food combo, cucumber appetizer.

    My husband discovered this place with a coworker and finally took me to try it. They have the northern style bbq skewers we were craving. They also have a variety of menu items from oyster, scallop, fish, noodles, and more! We ordered a bunch of dishes and left full and satisfied. We will come back for sure. I highly recommend.

    謝謝老闆和服務生大帥哥的熱情招待。The service and the food is the best specially the desert. 鍋包肉是我吃過最好吃的,多謝老闆的強烈推薦。好想念國內的糯玉米大豆角炸臭豆腐尤其是老闆送的糖葫蘆,太過癮了

    This bull shit bbq lamb, beef skewers and a side of veggies cost me $25 dollars . Will never come back again. The cashier told me each order will come with two skewers but that's not what I got, I got a skewers for $4 each.

    The flavors are there but the Ingredients are not very fresh. I ordered a few different things for take out. The shrimp skewer and beef with enoki mushroom were fine. However, the tofu had gone sour and the oyster also had a slight stinky smell (if it were fresh the oyster could smell like the sea, but shouldn't smell stinky).

    The owner of the restaurant is an extremely ignoble person. Two special drinks named White Rabbit Fresh Milk and Brown Sugar Dirty Fresh Milk were designed by a waiter who worked for him only one month. And he also offered a cold dish recipe. He worked very hard for this restaurant. Then the owner fired him with no reason. I have that waiter's WeChat. He posted the story on the WeChat. The owner doesn't want the waiters make good tips. Make a lot of trouble to that waiter. What a disgusting person!

    Finally a new Chinese seafood restaurant opened in Manhattan! Great location. They have a big selection of food. I ordered the crawfish and snow crab leg combo, it comes with fries. Big amount of food and tastes really good. The squid tentacles and white rabbit milk were really good too, highly recommend this place!

    Candied Strawberries

    One of the best northeastern Chinese restaurants! Lamb soup and kebabs are awesome. Grilled chicken (鸡架) is rarely find and I do recommend it. This is our first time here and we ordered without checking any reviews, but everything is tasty. The place is tiny and clean, and the service is awesome. And they offer free candied strawberry, which is my favorite Chinese dessert!!!

If we didn't check what we got we would have been missing one. They were able to give another lamb skewer for us though, but unfortunately didn't get to try what we originally ordered. The meat was well seasoned with cumin and other spices, but some of the lamb pieces I had were largely fatty and hard to chew.

With a price of $2 per skewer, we ordered 1 beef, 2 lamb, 1 chicken gizzard, and 1 chicken skewers. They cook all skewers to order and take credit payment (tap). If you want to pay in cash, make sure you have the exact amount. The meat was so flavorful and the fat was rendered beautifully off of the meat! I'm docking 1 star because they had accidentally given us 4 skewers instead of 5 that we ordered when they gave up the skewers wrapped in tin foil, anddddd after consuming the skewers did we realize we did not get the variety we ordered, but instead 4 lamb and 1 chicken gizzard. The lamb was honestly so delicious though we weren't even mad!

I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and found the restaurant moderately crowded. We were greeted promptly and seated upon entry. I found the space comfortable and relaxed. Our waiter was polite and attentive. We ordered the corn bread as an appetizer. I prefer sweet cornbread versus jalapeño, so it wasn't my thing. However, my cousin is the opposite and she really enjoyed it. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, greens, and biscuit. I didn't care for the greens, but the biscuit and pulled pork was excellent. My sister had the ribs, greens, and dirty rice. She didn't like any of her food. She said the ribs had a lot of gristle. There was very little meat on the bone. I tasted the rice and agreed with her assessment. It wasn't that good. Our cousin had the chicken, mac-n-cheese, and baked beans. She liked her food. My cousin had been to Virgil's before many years ago and said this experience mirrored past ones. We all ordered dessert as well. i had the strawberry shortcake, which wasn't great. The strawberries were fresh, and I liked the whipped cream, but the "shortcake" was actually the same biscuit that was served with my meal. It wasn't sweet enough and just didn't work well. I ended up picking over the dessert, so most of it went to waste. My sister had the key lime pie which she didn't like. My cousin had the banana pudding which she enjoyed. Overall, the experience got mixed reviews, but I'd visit Virgil's again in the future for sure. The bill ended up being about $150 plus, if I recall correctly, because we ordered alcoholic beverages as well.

I saw that they have music on certain days so if you interested in some music come check it out. We ordered the two meat meal with greens, mac n cheese, and corn bread. They didn't have any pork belly burnt ends ready so that was a bummer. The food came out fairly quick which was nice. Everything looked really good. The brisket was cooked perfect and nice fatty parts to it if you like that. There was some good smoke to it and nice seasoning to it. The ribs were a little overcooked and not much meat on them. The mac n cheese was really good, nice amount of cheese, noodles cooked perfect, and nice seasoning in it. The greens were also cooked perfect, not mushy, great flavor, and also seasoned right. The cornbread was off the hook, very tasty with great flavor. I like that they mixed corn in the cornbread. We also ordered the Banana Wafer Pudding which was delicious. NIce flavor and the wafers were fresh and crunchy, I just needed more of them. We tried to wait for Pork Belly burnt ends but we had to go. The BBQ sauces were just ok, nothing to say hey you have to try it. I'd definitely be back to this place if I'm in town. Don't know why they only have 3.5 stars. The service was also good.

Since our program covered the expenses, we didn't pay anything out of pocket. Now I enjoy a good BBQ cookout at home as much as the next family, but don't care for it as a dining experience. My employer catered BBQ luncheons from time to time, and even then I wasn't crazy about it. Here in Hill Country, a room was reserved for us (party of 36). Our dinnerware resembled army mess tins lined with sanitary papers; our glasses resembled moonshine jars complete with screw threads at the rim for lids. Our dinner was a catered set of longhorn cheddar mac & cheese (quite good), sliced brisket (meh), market chicken (a little tough), fresh baked cornbread (dry & hard) and collard greens (good but could be saltier). I consumed massive amounts of mac & cheese and collared greens to help swallow down the almost rock-hard cornbread. Desert was chocolate chip cookies (that wasn't bad). Some members of the group ordered liquor (at their own expense) to celebrate the good time they were having. Customer service was less than stellar. The waitress did not inform us that soft drinks were complimentary until after we finished eating. That wasn't all. The restroom was located downstairs past the bar room. During my two visits - before and after the food was served - the same staff member was there cleaning. He had just finished the sinks when I went in the first time. On the second visit, the front door was blocked from the inside by a pail - he was mopping the floor. Couldn't he have waited till the off-peak hours to do that?? Customer service and cornbread were enough for me to not recommend this restaurant.

I think the drink I loved was the Bomb Pop or something similar, it was bright blue and super sweet and very delicious. I got one both nights. I also tried another sweet drink that was very good but can't remember what it was. Husband also enjoyed his drinks. Sorry, I know this is less than helpful for the rest of you but at least I'll remember they had "my kind of cocktails" when I next go to NY and review my own reviews. Service was hit or miss; when we sat at the bar the service was definitely better. At the tables, we waited and waited and waited for the server to come back and eventually I gave up and went to the bar to place my second round order.
