Huoban Bbq - Queens

This restaurant is one of my favorite Chinese BBQ spots. It is located in Flushing, and it's very close to my wife's house. All the food we had was excellent. We ordered a variety of meat cooked on a stick: Lamb, beef, Chinese Sausage, and quails. In addition to the BBQ dishes, we also had some seafood like oysters and scallops. All the dishes go well with beers! In order to fulfill our cravings we also had some dumplings, chicken feet, and even snails! The dining area is kind of small, so it's better to come early or late in the evening to avoid the crowd. Food is prepared in the kitchen so you will not get the smell all over your clothes. I still suggest wearing casuals when visit this place.

There was a time when Liu Bu 伙伴烧烤 was the de facto late night destination for sit down Chinese skewer action. Fast forward to current times, it's still open late night, but hardly a destination at this point. It's likely one part pandemic, and many parts food quality mediocrity. The latter has been lacking so hard that I think even 3 stars #1 might be generous. When I first came here several years ago, it was the place to be at 3AM and beyond. Small tables and fast service combined with some solid food lamb, gizzards, lamb noodle soup were the go tos , made me feel like I was back in China finishing up a nightlife filled evening. The menu was vast and the vibe was super unpretentious. Its reputation as a no frills late night joint is still intact, but the service has taken a bit of a nose dive read: slow and rushing folks out and the food hasn't felt the same. Many of the skewers were dry and the noodle soup broths are very bland. Some of the cold dishes cucumber, pig ear salad, and preserved egg tofu looked as if they were sitting out a bit too long, and was disappointed in the thick dumpling skins. I was hoping it was just a fluke, but nearly all of the food that was ordered was very subpar. Prices are on an uptick cold dishes can be $10 , skewers are between $2.50 $4 , but still relatively affordable all things considered. I hope they can return to their glory days. I think the place has been a mainstay in this part of Flushing and there's not enough sit down spots for the rou chuan #2 experience. This is one of the few places that offers more than just a little BBQ, but could use a big lift in getting back to where they started. My kebab fingers are crossed that they revert back to a more delicious version of themselves. ____________ #1 Likely a 2.5 at best. Rounded up. #2 肉串 skewer.

Soup without any ingredient. Did I just order hot water ? I understand business is slow. But come on ..

Honestly, this is my guilty pleasure and my favorite Chinese BBQ spot in Flushing hands down. The food here is very consistent and always tastes great. They are open to late night and it is a very good spot to gossip and drink with friends at night Just know what you're getting yourself into before coming here! The meat isn't as high quality as say Friendship BBQ but what makes this place taste very good is the amount of seasoning they put onto the meat. If I were to compare, friendship bbq has a more clean taste with higher quality meat while this place has more seasoning which packs more flavor! If you are a lover of salt and seasoning, this is the place to go. I always order beef, fish tofu, chives, sausages, and the buns! The buns here are so freaking amazing. Sadly, if you aren't Chinese or can't speak Chinese, there is going to be a language barrier. They can generally understand you but just don't expect the service here to be great. It's a hole in the wall!

This bbq was the worst quility food I ate in Flushing！ two people ate 100 dollars and food no taste every kind meat are cheap quility including herbs was cheap！Never come back！terrible！
