I would gave them a 2 star for yesterday's experience. First, the place was empty on a Friday night at 10:00pm. Probably have 3 takeout order while we were sitting down. The first time I went was on a weekday night back in December, and there were more patrons. Not sure if the place is going down hill, but they dont have slushies anymore. We had the mango slushies the first time, and the only drinks available was whatever bottle drinks they have in the fridge. Mind you, they dont serve you water, so you have to get drinks since the food is garlicky or spicy. We wound up getting the milk tea ice rice this time. It was ok. I never tried it, but the rice is a bit hard. I won't order again. Best dish is large eggplant. Very flavorable, maybe a bit too garlicky. Will order this again. Also, the chicken wing is huge, for the price of $3 each. Thats why we ordered 2 chicken wing this time. But, I think it wasnt grilled as nice as my first time. Still good since it is a lot of meat for the price of $3. Lotus root is also pretty good, glazed with sugar. The worst i would say is the lamb, a bit too chewy, lack of flavor. The bathroom has all sorts of postcard of famous album. I found that pretty neat. Lastly, I think the squid tentacles is much smaller than before.

I couldn't be happier with my experience here…read more The service is friendly and the QR code ordering system is very convenient. It was so cold out the night I went so I was very happy they kept it nice and warm inside the restaurant. There's a very large selection of skewers, they have basically everything you could want. I especially appreciate that you can order just one of any skewer, unlike some other places where certain types only come in orders of 3 etc, allowing you to order a large variety even if you're dining alone. The seasoning was delicious, and every skewer was not coated in identical seasoning. None of it was spicy at all if that's what you're looking for, but none were lacking in flavor. The meat was juicy and you could taste the smoke from the grill. I loved the different textures of vegetables which were all well cooked. I'm still thinking about the crunchy exterior of the rice cake. I think my favorite skewer was the lotus root, which was perfecting complimented by the seasoning mix. An amazing meal! 16 skewers came out to less than $50. I look forward to returning!

She came with her mother and I got a super sweet shot of them. I got there a little before noon. They were still getting set up so waited outside for a short time. They were kind enough to let me use the restroom first. Immediately I met Amanda and Bernice. We all started talking and learned they were Yelp Elites like me and since I was by myself I asked and joined them. They are so nice! We walked around the whole venue and being Yelpers I found our taste in food was similar. We all wound up liking the same vendors. So stuffed! Portions were generous! Since we were VIP we had the place to ourselves for the first hour before general public at 1pm. We tried the vendors who were ready and went back to try those we passed since they weren't ready. It was a pretty big space with indoors and outdoors. It was a nice sunny day so a bit hot already but we would cool off in the shade. I love love my time today hanging out with my Yelp family who are amazing folks! So blessed to be part of a group who care about businesses and trying new things as well as meeting folks.

It was definitely an experience walking in as it felt super chill and casual, and you order at the counter as though you were a high school kid in the cafeteria during lunch time, which I thought was kind of fun! The menus are above and definitely legible and easy to follow along, and the staff were friendly and helpful as we figured out what we wanted. There was also an array of sauces to choose from, where there are plates and small containers to fill up on their special BBQ sauces (their labels will tell you which ones are spicier!). I had ordered a can of Cherry Coke and a Combo 2, which includes 2 meats and 2 small sides. For the meats, I chose 1/3 lb Burnt Ends and 1/4 lb Brisket. Both were extremely tender and delicious, and full of flavour! For my sides, I went with Mac and Cheese and the Collard Greens. The Mac and Cheese feels so classic and amazing, and the Collard Greens were very flavourful. We couldn't finish everything so we took some lids and boxes to bring the rest home, and I can't wait to come back here some other time and try more things!

This came with shrimps, pork and of course many different options of beef, including wagyu! We had the leisure of cooking our meats throughout our meal. We also ordered the tofu stew and a few other menu beef options such as the marinated beef short ribs. Which was our fav ! Next time highly recommend to get the menu beef bbq dishes rather than the meat staircase. And if you write a review they give you free plum drink. Additionally to get you to keep coming back, they let you buy a $20 coupon for next time use for $2. Pretty good deal! Guess now I have to return again!

There was a lot of energy in the place. The wait staff were friendly. Food was great but was pricey per skewer. Food 5/5: Delicious and tasted close to skewer cart (this is a win!). Would have loved to try more things but some skewers were up to $3 each so it got pricey fast. They did have a large selection of skewers to choose from. You get a wrist band with a QR code that tracks what skewers you order. Non-skewer items could be ordered using your phone. Everything was fresh. They had house-made spice and sauce packets at each table. Every table had a cheat sheet showing how long to barbecue each type of skewer. We tried the bbq scallops which were full of garlicky goodness and cold noodles which was a refreshing balance to the heat of the grill. Service 5/5: Friendly waiter. Gave us the run down on how things worked in the restaurant. Periodically checked in on us. No complaints. Ambiance 4/5: Prefacing that the high energy environment was not really my cup of tea but I know others may prefer it. Bright flashing lights and loud music playing over speakers drowned out conversation. That said, the tables were spaced well so every party had their own personal space and restaurant was clean.

(Just off the 7 /or walk from the Q104 / R,M - Northern Blvd. to Q18) It was just okay, not Amazing by what the socials say. Had the ($21) 1/4 Chicken & Ribs Plate, they threw in an extra 1/4. (I was overwhelmed at first and ordered a plain quarter chicken (dark meat) & 3-rib plate. The cashier was nice enough to recommend the #8 combo (1/4 Chicken, 3 Ribs) instead.) The cut of ribs were good but slightly dry. Was recommended the beans (good) with white rice (dry) by the cashier. Dark meat was the best. First bites of the white meat & ribs were dry, but got better towards the middle. The green sauce was watery and didn't have much flavor. Not sure why everyone raves about green sauce. Was expecting Mama's Empanadas level, but this was 1/4 of that flavor. The Cantonese-speaking cashier was so nice & chill! Communication was easy (English, Cantonese, or Spanish) & they had a steady flow of customers, of all backgrounds. I would get the food to go, the dining area is one long, narrow room and for whatever reason the floor was very wet. I guess it's good that they mopped at 4 PM? There were a few guys that were either workers or hanging out at the far back tables, one or two middle-age couples dining in. It was just kind of a sad ambience. The cashier recommended the Lomo Saltado next time. Maybe I went at a slow time, 4 PM Friday. First bite of food at home was decent, but nothing overwhelming. I would stick to all dark meat! Reheat the pink beans at home. Glad that they usually get their workers two weeks vacation (as per a sign in 2022) - shows that business is good! *Didn't realize they're connected to Caravan Chicken in Astoria. Might try them (closer to me) to compare.

While waiting I checked out the restroom and found it unpleasant. Thinking I'd have my food ready by the time I returned and no drinks and no food yet. The waiting continues - 4:30 I finally get our drinks; had to send the marg back - I think they forgot the alcohol in it. Still waiting on food; one hour later after being seated - still waiting on food. I mean if this is how Dallas BBQ wants to present themselves there's certainly much room for improvement. Food quality was great, my steak was cooked to order; shrimp and ribs were hot and delicious. Just needs some improvement in order taking and getting the drinks out as fast as possible. That would make a huge difference in the experience. Ambiance was fine; it was comfortable and the music was decent elevator noise. Things I'd like to see improved - times between first touch to customer - once you get the drink orders and bring the drinks be ready for the food order. Don't take forever to speak to the customers about their needs. Definitely would be a 3 or 4 stars if service was faster. Maybe we just had a newbie waitress

This place was a bit disappointing; especially since I really like Brazilian food…read more This place is buffet style so there is a salad bar with different types of rice, meats and salads. There is also a meat section where they ask you what meat cut you want, rotisserie style. I got a piece of skirt steak, yellow rice, potato salad and a piece of chicken. I honestly didn't like the taste of anything I had on my plate. I thought everything lacked flavor and had a weird after taste. Since the price is measured by weight, I regretted getting so much food since I ended up throwing away most of it.

Who can deliver the most underwhelming plantains and dubious cuts of meat... that are more like a fat delivery system, than part of a main course? It's either that, or both Copacabana and Aroma must have signed a non-compete agreement with their underwhelming offerings. I also get the impression they are trying to broaden their appeal to non-Brazilians. But in their attempt to cater to the broader Latin American palate, they've diluted the vibrancy that Brazilian cuisine is known for. It's like they took a samba dance and turned it into a slow ranchera - it just doesn't have the same energy. Sure, it's a dance, but where's the rhythm, the spirit, the flavor?

My favorite is the Fish Congee, but the Sampan Congee is another favorite of mine. In general, all of the congees are consistently good. As for the roast meats, I think their best item is the Soy Sauce Chicken, which is made well. The rest are decent, but I would rather go to Five Loaves & Two Fishes nearby instead. The stuff I would skip here are items like their Wonton Noodle and Rice Rolls. Both are made poorly and not up to par versus the best around. Anyway, I believe this is not a Cantonese roast meat shop that can deliver everything I want. Regardless, I rarely drive by without stopping in to pick up some congee and possibly half a Soy Sauce Chicken.

Shun Wang is one of the 2 joints in Elmhurst that serve authentic, fast-style food nostalgic to most of us from Cantonese households. If you grew up going to Big Wong and Wing Wong (or any place with a clear view of a hanging roast pig on the window), Shun Wang will bring back nostalgia. I'm biased since I spent a good chunk of my childhood eating this kind of food in Chinatown, but Shun Wang's food is just sufficient enough to fill those cravings. Their price points are pretty high for Elmhurst (where most restaurants haven't raised the prices the way Chinatown or Flushing have, luckily), and their food is just OK. I mainly go for the sake of eating something I'm familiar with my whole life, and people I can still speak the language with. My parents go to their Flushing location and said that the quality has fallen since covid.

Even though this vendor sells tacos pequeño (small tacos, 2-3 bites), they are $3-4 each, which is not cheap. For that reason, I can't give them 5 stars. It's quite pricey considering that most full size tacos are selling for about $4.50-5.50 nowadays on the streets, but double in size. With that said, I appreciate the smaller size for me to enjoy more variety every time I stop by. My favorites change from visit to visit, but generally I always get Suadero (roast meat), Campechano (roast meat & sausage), Buche (pork stomach), Cabeza (beef head), and Lengua (beef tongue). I also like the extra weird parts like Cesos (beef brain) and Ojos (beef eye). However, the texture is very mushy and definitely not for everyone. As accompaniments, for every two tacos you order, they also give you a long stem onion that is quite tender and delicious. On the down side, instead of the traditional lime and radish that most places give, Tacos El Borrego offers lemon and cucumbers. I'm not sure why, except maybe they are cheaper options than the normal garnishes. Also, don't forget the flavorful green and red sauces on the table if you are eating there. Otherwise, ask for some to go. I miss the days when our group of friends would get a few tacos late at night after a party or night out drinking. The prices are no longer the same, but the food is still perfect for sobering up while having some laughs on the streets during the warm months. I think back to those days fondly whenever I'm at a taco stand nowadays, and Tacos El Botrego is one of my favorites in NYC.
