Xi Top BBQ 西塔烧烤 — Restaurant in New York

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...

I came here for lunch one day and had a great time! This BBQ spot offers both Korean BBQ as well as Chinese skewers. On top of that, there are a variety of Korean and Chinese dishes that you can order on top of the BBQ, such as cold noodles. The staff here grill the meat for you as you eat it.

We got a variety of the meats as well as skewers. For dishes, we got their Chinese style chicken gizzards and cartilage as well as their Korean-style cold noodles. Everything was delicious. The meats were tender and juicy. I loved how they used real charcoal to grill the meats, which added a smoky flavor. You were also provided sauce as well as Chinese-style BBQ seasoning to eat with the meats. The chicken gizzard and cartilage were full of flavor and a generous portion. And, the cold noodles were so refreshing and light. The meal ended with complimentary yogurt, which was perfect. Would definitely come back or recommend to anyone who can't decide between Chinese...

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.
