Hot Stix Hot Pot & BBQ — Restaurant in New York

Second time here. First time was right when they opened. The full menu wasn’t available yet. Service was very attentive.

Their cold dishes and spicy crawfish were pretty tasty, and the two marinated raw dishes they served for free were also really good. I ordered the garlic oysters, and out of four, only one was fresh. The rest clearly didn’t look right—one even had a yellow part I thought was sauce, but it turned out to be bitter and off. The barbecue was hit or miss. Most of it was fine, but a few pieces were overly salty, greasy, or even burnt. Also, there’s no parking lot—only street parking nearby.
