XINJIANG BBQ — Restaurant in San Diego

Newly opened Xinjiang BBQ is located in Linda Vista next to the Thuan Phat Supermarket. I was very pleased with my experience here during their soft opening!

Ambiance: Our party of 4 got seated right away at 7pm on a Sunday and there’s a lot of parking available. There are several 4-6 person tables and one big circle table that seems to fit 10ish people, so good for 1 large group. Every table has a TV that plays music. I love the ambiance and decoration in this place! Lots of animations on the walls surrounding the tables. The entrance is pretty cool!

Service: You scan the QR code which leads you to where you order for the whole table. Food came out in waves and came out pretty quickly. Our servers, Yao and Aaron, were fantastic! It was our friend’s birthday and they served her a plate of sliced oranges with a candle and sang— very cute!

Food: We ordered a lot and truthfully, there wasn’t anything that I didn’t like! I would say the must orders are:

-Beef Kabab ($6.99): 4 skewers -Chicken Skin Crispy ($5.99): 4 skewers -Chow Mein ($9.99): size was good enough to share with our party -Scallop with Garlic Sauce ($13.99): 5 pieces -Beef Rolls ($9.99)- 2 rolls cut in 8 total pieces

*Ask for their spicy dry powder to dip the food in!

Overall: It’s still during their soft opening so they’re still trying to work out some kinks like waiting for their liquor license. We had such a great experience and I cannot wait for the grand opening! This place has a lot of potential for some fun nights as they close at 3am. We will...

Cool atmosphere, tasty food and good service.

We are a family of 5. You order your food from your phone and they serve it to you. They have a variety of skewers. Such as beef, chicken, lamb, vegetables and seafood. They offer combo if you are having a hard time deciding. The $88 value combo serves 2-3 people. It comes with 2 rice, 2 sodas, spicy grilled fish, choice of appetizer, 2 signature skewers, choice of 4 bbq skewers, and dessert. We ordered 2 more skewers, and ordered more rice. It more than satisfied us and we had leftovers.

We requested that they items were not spicy. The fish was soft, seasoned well, and had a good amount of vegetables. The signature skewers are beef and lamb. For the bbq skewers we choose intestine, pork belly, chicken and chicken skin. Everything tasted great!

Inside: There is a projection all across the walls of different scenery. They have a screen with music videos. Tables have benches and some have pillows.

Parking: Tons of free parking!

Overall we will continue...

I recently visited Xinjiang BBQ, and it was a fantastic experience! The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a casual night out with friends or family. The staff was friendly and attentive, offering great recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed.

Food: The menu offers a wide selection of skewers, from classic lamb and chicken to more unique options like grilled prawns and vegetables. The skewers were all grilled to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. The highlight for me was the lamb skewers, which were seasoned just right and had that authentic smoky taste that’s hard to beat.

The restaurant also serves some great side dishes, like refreshing cucumber salad and crispy flatbread, which complemented the BBQ perfectly. Their homemade dipping sauces were excellent and added an extra layer of flavor to the skewers. If you’re a fan of spicy...
