Came here after seeing some videos from TikTok. Had their beef and lamb skewers cooked over real charcoal. There was also another protein that we ordered that wasn't on the skewers, which tasted great with the pepper flake seasoning. It was not overly expensive, and we had a great meal overall with quick service. Will come back to try other menu items.

Came here early because I know they get very busy during peak dinner hours. Bbq is on point and the other dishes we ordered were all tasty. Decent portion but some will say they are a little pricey. My husband especially liked the special sesame sauce they prepared.

Having never eàten at a live BBQ restaurànt- you have to know this was my most enjoyable dining EXPERIENCE ever!! From the red hot coals delivered by small scoop shovel to the very talented team member who precisely çooked our food- they are à very talented, polite and wonderful service Team. The way she made sure to make the cooking food look good was visually enjoyable too! The table bussers were great too. When you sit down there is a large pitcher of tea on the table. We had 2 kinds of beef, mushrooms, oysters, crispy honey glazed sweet potatos ( simply incredible!), veggie & egg fried rice ( best ever - fresh and fluffy not sticky! )....and many sauces / side accompaniments ( kimchi/ radish/ spices dip/ ginger with ģreens sauce dip. The food is excellent, the service and cooking team was àbove excellent, and the hot coals cooking in your table is a fantastic, fun experience. My gf and I loved this place!

Xi Top BBQ recently just opened their new location right on 149th Place in Flushing next to their other location. Beautiful welcoming renovations with clean and bright environment boasting modern designs. BBQ meats are super fresh and marinated just right. Definitely one of the best rib fingers I’ve had. Deep fried pork crispy is not too sour and stays crispy after it cools down. Attentive and friendly staffs are constantly changing grills to prevent meats from being burnt. Excellent experience here at their new Xi Tap BBQ. Marinated Beef 29.99 Rib Fingers 29.99 Oyster 27.99 Wangzhongwang 9.99 Chicken w/ Spicy Sauce & Cumin 14.99 Deep Fried Pork w/ Sweet Sour Sauce 16.99 Stir Fried Dried Squid 18.99

The wait was not too bad for a Saturday night roughly 15mins for 6 people. The server was super nice and supportive of my little cousin grilling. It was also super impressive that she spoke Mandarin, Korean and English fluently. The food is amazing, both dry and wet rubs were delicious. It's NYC parking but we were able to find street parking nearby so we were lucky.

What a unique experience! This is a Chinese bbq place. You grill your own meat skewers on the table top. In addition, they have other Chinese dishes. My favorite was the pork intestines, fried mini buns and taro chips. The service was great. We had a big group and they gave us an individual room on the 3rd floor away from the crowds. We rang the bell whenever we needed assistance. Overall, it’s a great experience. We’ll come back.

The food and service are fabulous! The staff even prepare a dipping sauce for you and check if you have any preferences, like removing scallions or cilantro. The meat is of good quality, and the server helps cook it for you which enhance the experience. However, the prices are on the higher side compared to other places.

Nice asian style BBQ. Parking is difficult! The wait is not bad since they took the next door for more dinning. However, I would ask to be seated at the old dinning area next time for the charcoal grill, instead of the new gas grill next door. The hot charcoal makes the BBQ taste way better!! With about 5 beef selections, my personal favor woild be the marinated short rib. They have small beef and lamb kebab sticks, which is a different from Korean BBQ (love the lamb sticks). The house special sesame dipping sauce brings out the bbq beef! The grilled oysters itself were in different sizes. The amount they charged the quality control for the oysters should be better. The shrimp in the stirred noodle was not as fresh, but the large BBQ shrimp was sweet and fresh. The grilled squad was average. Their services are fast and friendly. At 25% top, the bill was about 300 without any alcohol.

The four stars are solely for the bbq experience and food quality. It is definitely one of the best in Flushing. Their skewers and beef were really fresh and flavorful. Combed the sesame sauce and chili sesame seasoning is absolutely delicious. But if you are a northerner like myself and mainly went to try authentic northern food, prepare to be gravely disappointed. When ordering their 锅包肉sweet and sour pork，冷面 cold noodles，溜肉段fried meat stir fried with peppers, the taste was very far off from authentic. The sweet and sour pork’s dressing was over done and the sugar caramelized so hard on the outside that it almost broke our teeth off, it was impossible to keep eating. Cold noodles were packaged and not home made. The pork and pepper stir fry tasted good but was a different flavor than what we were used to. I have tried many places that claim to be authentic northern cuisine and this place’s sweet and sour pork was the worst of all. If you do decide to come here, know that there is a waitlist at reception and it could take a very long time to get in during busy hours. The bbq is definitely worth the wait, highly recommend the fatty beef and squid. Also, if you are pregnant, there are a lot of smokers both in and out of the restaurant, they don’t seem to be very strict on that so please take caution.

Came here due to the convenient location and easy parking. Walked in 5 pm on a Friday night. Place was starting to get busy. This is prominent for being a BBQ venue. Somehow I wanted something spicy and passed on the beef offerings. After we ordered 3 dishes, none of them being BBQ. We were asked to be seated next door. As we walked next door, we also saw the BBQ grill on the table. So not sure what the fuss was about? The food came quickly, 1 dish was barely warm and we asked to have it reheated again in kitchen. The food was okay but nothing that really stood out. The servers were polite & effective. May need to come back and try the BBQ BEEF to be fair. A bottle of Corona is $4. Good place to throw down a few beers with friends. LIRR is right across the doorstep.

I didn't want to judge. However, I went to eat at 11 o'clock at noon and started to have diarrhea at 2 o'clock. This has been going to the toilet several times. Seriously, it's really not delicious. I ordered several kinds of meat, but the pickled one I promoted is estimated to be a long time. Big face lift is vinegar-flavored sesame sauce. Not adapted. It is not recommended to choose his home.

Disappointing Experience – Felt Rushed and Unwelcome I have been a loyal customer here for a long time and always leave generous tips (sometimes 30-40%). However, today’s experience was incredibly frustrating. Despite not even being there for 1.5 hours, the server (a lady with glasses) kept clearing our table while we were still eating. It felt like she was trying to force us to leave as quickly as possible. She was completely expressionless and cold the entire time. If there is a time limit, it should be clearly stated; otherwise, rushing customers is unacceptable. This was my last visit, and I will definitely not be recommending this place to my family or friends
