What a fantastic find right outside HMart. The owner is an absolute treasure, So nice and kind. Whe we stopped by. He noticed that my daughter's were hungry, and instead of waiting for all our skewers to be done, he handed then each a skewer to munch on as we waitednfor the rest ro be done. They're open nice and late (I've been there at 10 p.m.), which is a huge plus, and they even have a couple of small tables with chairs if you want to eat right there. As for the food, I've tried the lamb, chicken, and squid skewers. The lamb and chicken were both succulent, perfectly cooked, and really well-balanced in flavor. The squid was tasty too, though the seasoning comes through more strongly since squid itself is milder. For the amount of protein you get, the prices are very reasonable, even cheap. A solid spot all around. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

You can't get anything better for the price. We don't have too many of this place in the US where it opens really late. It's more common in Asia. Having walked around NYC all day this place is a godsend to grab late night snacks near our hotel. There's a long line so need to be patience. read more

Fat Ni BBQ Cart - Late night snacks - Barbeque Near Me - Flushing, New York

Had came here on a Wednesday night to pick up some late night skewers. CASH ONLY ! Yelp hours says its open from 5pm til 1am. Had attempted to come here night before around 1245A but they had already left. Apparently according to random people i asked, they had saw the cart maybe an hour earlier. Had also tried to come here around 5pm another day and they weren't here yet (saw them maybe an hour later) The cart is located on the Northeast corner of Prince St and 39th Ave, across from 39 King's Cafe and diagnonally across from Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao, in the corner of a parking area. Fat Ni's pricing is probably the "most expensive" of the carts we came across, at an average of $2/skewer. 2 people worked the cart. 1 took orders while 1 cooked which made it more "streamlined" than other carts. Had wished to come back here to try other items but they are pretty elusive with their hours so I wasn't able to try them again. Overall though, they are decent. Flavors/seasoning are between carts are fairly similar anyway. I had tried 5x lamb, 2 chicken gizzard, 1 chicken heart, 2 pork intestine. All were pretty good. First time having grilled pork intestine like this. Decent. Unsure if i'd get it again. Maybe if i'm craving pork intestine. Nothing wrong with it but i rather have it deep fried or stir fried hehe. Lamb was tender and flavorful. Chicken gizzard and heart had its "crunchy" unique characteristics as usual. All yummy. read more

My boyfriend told me this was the best place to get skewers and he wasn't joking. This place is CASH ONLY. Be prepared to wait because everything is made to order but boy is it worth it. Everything here is delicious. I loved the lamb skewer ($2 each) and how perfectly barbecued it was, the little pockets of fat is to die for. This place is perfect for a late night snack or you could make a meal out of it if you order enough skewers. I'm so glad I was introduced to this food cart. read more

We always get our skewers from here. They're the best in flushing. We usually get the lamb, tendons, fish balls, fish tofu and octopus. All really good. read more

Probably the best tasting lamb outside of Xinjiang. Just amazing. Definitely try the stinky tofu too!

Delicious cart. I see it in my dreams. I'd sing love songs about these skewers. We always get the lamb, chicken and beef tendon. And ask for it a little spicy. It is actually so good like I kid you not IT IS SO GOOD. Literally dgaf that it's $2 because it's that good. Take my money, please. And give me like 50 lamb skewers. read more

Decided to give this outdoor cart a try while walking back to the Hyatt hotel down the street and smelling the smoky deliciousness. We got chicken hearts, beef, and pork intestine. I only tried the chicken hearts and beef but they were amazing. The chicken hearts had a good chew and the beef was tender, a little fatty, and super flavorful. The owners also asked if we wanted our skewers spicy and they delivered on spice. Almost all options are $2, which is an awesome deal. Not sure how long I waited but it was at least 10 minutes (so worth the wait). Seriously the best Chinese skewers I have ever had. read more

Came here for a late night snack, and will be coming back! Pros: - Couple is super efficient, ordered close to 70 skewers and they were able to churn them out in 10 min as well as sorting the skewers into the individual orders that made up the bulk order Cons: - Phone number isn't right on Yelp, tried calling but didn't work. They definitely have an active phone line since they were taking calls in-person read more

You must try this chinese bbq cart! I tried various meat and vegetable skewers, and my favorites were the pork and beef ones. However, the vegetable skewers lacked seasoning and could have used more salt. I dont recommend the pork intestine skewer as it had a strong smell that made it unpleasant to eat. If you enjoy cumin, you'll likrly enjoy these BBQ skewers. The prices are reasonable, likely around $2 each, and there's a parking lot conveniently located right behind the cart. Overall, I highly recommend it for the pork and beef skewers. Note that they only accept cash. read more

Since I was eating around the area late at night in Queens China town, I might as well have a snack after dinner. According to otheryelps, they open when it is no raining, luckily when I went was good weather. . So I ordered the nasty bits along with a few protein such as lamb, and etc. Below is a list of what I tried. . Pork intestine . Stinky tofu- yes it stunk. It stunk in a good way. It wasn't the best stinky tofu I had but it was good for a food cart. . Lamb kidney - omg this is the best. I can still remember the first bite, it was literally melting good. . Chicken gizzard - chewy and can never go wrong with chicken gizzard. . Chicken heart - chicken heart is another of mines fav bbq item. The bite size is always perfect and juicy. . Lamb - this was a solid meat. It was tasty and popular with a few people ahead of me all ordered this. . Overall I love the concept. I love how it fits the busy street location of China town and the clientele. Asians love eating this kind of street food and definitely reminds me of hong kong eats. Most of the skewers contains cumin and spicy powder which I love. If I'm in the area late nights I'm coming back for a snack. Hope this helps and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day! read more

Favorite skewer spot in Flushing! There's always a long line of customers waiting at this cart, rain or shine. Unfortunately we've gone several times where the cart wasn't there. So now we call ahead to confirm they're open before trekking out to Downtown Flushing. Highly recommend ordering the beef, lamb, enoki mushroom, and fish tofu. The skewers are all cooked and seasoned to perfection. Cash only! read more

This might be the best skewer cart in Flushing, & even edges out some restaurants. It's a no frills and slightly janky spot, but they make DELICIOUS skewers. Everything is seasoned perfectly, & for those who are sensitive to spice, you can ask for less spice or none at all! I usually get the beef here, but you really can't go wrong with your order. Everything also smells SO GOOD. It's hard to resist grabbing a skewer when passing by, even if you had no cravings or intentions to get one at all. Prices are super cheap & reasonable. Bring cash!! read more

I love me some meat on sticks. Simple classic concept, all about execution and price. This place does it right, especially the lamb and beef skewers. The chicken wings and quail were just alright, the pork was good but still a cut below the lamb and beef. read more

On the corner of 39th Ave and Prince St in Downtown Flushing, you will find a well staffed chinese BBQ skewer cart. Each skewer is around $1.75 (cash only, no tax) and they are operating late into the night. The fish tofu and squid skewers were delicious and perfectly seasoned with spices. Usually people order at least 5 skewers per person because there is a small amount of meat/vegetable compared to other skewer carts. read more

What fun. We have tried to find them before, unsuccessfully, but we scored last night.we arrived around 8pm to a crowd, some chowing down on skewers, some waiting. It took almost 10 minutes for us to order as they had to put out a grill full of orders and then rake the coals and rebuild the fire which took both guys there. But finally we ordered a round of 5 skewers: 2xlamb, eggplant, chinese chives and gizzards for $10. They were so good that any idea of restraint went. There are benches and a tree so you can sit and eat if there is room. We chatted with a couple as we waited. The skewers were very well spiced with cumin, chili flakes and salt. Round 2 followed with 6 skewers for $15: 2 x wings, cauliflower, mystery organ, enoki, and lamb innards. The cauliflower was nothing special, but the rest were scrumptious. I like the lamb innards. It was listed as kidney, but there were chunks of kidney, liver and small cubes of fat. It was funky, juicy and delicious We grabbed a sour plum juice from the stand next door. When they take the skewers off the fire, the tips get burnt and they cut it off with a scissors. So our meal was syncopated by a steady stream of snip snip sounds. What fun read more

Food was delicious and reasonably cheap. The owner(old guy) was very kind and funny. One plus star is that his vendor is very clean for a street food cart, as he constantly wipe it when he's not in a rush. read more

I came here on recommendation of the staff from Apollo Bakery as I wanted to find a good Chinese BBQ stand. They said that this place is their go to for good skewers and I can see why! I got their Beef, Chicken, and Chive skewers (nothing like a well-balanced ish meal right?). I thoroughly enjoyed all the skewers I got. For the Beef and Chicken ones, the meat was tender and juicy from the fat and the seasonings they put on the skewers were in great proportions. Super flavorful and can really taste the cumin, one of my all time favorite Chinese seasonings! The Chive was perfectly grilled as well and the seasonings they put on there also made it wonderfully tasty. Overall, I'd definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area (which will definitely be often)! read more

So I tried a few bbq skewer places in flushing, mostly restaurant. All I can say is this place is way better. They give you more meat, the flavor is better, and the price is so cheap! Nothing better to say, the chef there truly knows what they are doing. There are 2 carts and you do have to order them separately and pay them separately for some reason. read more

Long before I ever knew the name, this cart was only known to me as "the other BBQ cart that isn't Xinjiang (http://www.yelp.com/biz/xinjiang-bbq-cart-flushing)." Thanks for Flushing Food (http://www.yelp.com/biz/flushing-food-inc-flushing), we now have a name for this super popular 燒烤肉 BBQ spot: Fat Ni. Here's the good news: They have some very tasty skewers with some of the best variety Flushing has to offer. Aside from the regular selections like chicken and chicken, they also have gizzards, quail, shrimp, squid, and even chicken head. For our veggie only friends, they also rock eggplant, potato, broccoli, green pepper, corn, and tofu. They even have stinky tofu for those suffering from Taiwanese nostalgia. Too bad it's not really stinky. Here's the bad news: They frequently run out of meats. While I'm happy to rock a lamb kebab anytime, I also know that the less popular items like fishball and sausage are likely to go. Gizzards and duck neck (tasty!) are almost never available. When the Chinese kebab climate was $1 each, Fat Ni was one of the firsts to embrace the $1.25 price tag and now $1.50-$2.00 per skewer. Food costs aside, they still do a good job with what they have. I won't put them above the Xinjiang variety, but they have been clutch late at night when most other carts have packed up and gone home. Another tidbit is they are also the people behind Panyo (http://www.yelp.com/biz/panyo-bbq-flushing), the brick and mortar location of the exact same menu and format (cash only, little to no parking, open super late). read more

Lol. I never knew that this BBQ cart had its name. Where did you find it? Fat Ni? Fat So? Jajaja This cart is in a walking distance from the 7 train's Main St stop. Make sure you stop by TD bank to get some cash. I always order Chicken Hearts, Squid and Quail skewers and ask for it spicy. The spices they put on the skewers are just perfect. It's kinda on a par with Kebab with the kick of cumin. Prices are pretty reasonable. Never got disappointed with this joint so far. Besides BOGO bubble tea, this is another spot that's totally worth stopping by. read more

Fat Ni BBQ Cart - Umm chicken hearts and quail. - Barbeque Near Me - Flushing, New York

This is my favorite Chinese skewer cart! They season their skewers so well, especially their spicy seasoning. Their skewers taste very authentic and have the great cumin taste to them. The meats are also very juicy! They also offer other unique items such as squid and stinky tofu which they heat up using a teppanyaki griddle. The stinky tofu tastes best with the spicy seasoning which helps to balance out some of the stinky-ness. I highly recommend trying them out! It's also a great late night snack since they open really late and satisfies the munchies. read more

I am not sure why everyone give this bbq cart such high rating. We stayed in Flushing in June and bought some to try base on the reviews. The beef sticks were tiny small, tough and very fatty meat, it's just grease biting into it. I don't usually through food away but I just can't eat it. And it wasn't cheap. First and last time for me. read more

They have a variety of unique meats, including lamb tendon and crispy tendon, but I think I ultimately enjoyed the lamb skewers at the cart closer to Main Street better. The lamb pieces here for some reason seemed less meaty. The squid skewer was also extremely spicy, more so than the lamb skewers. The lamb tendon was quite delicious although didn't like the crispy tendon, doesn't really take up the flavors well and hard to chew. As noted by other reviewers, after 6pm, they can be found near the bus stops across from the Paris Baguette. read more

My favorite bbq cart in Flushing! Lots of options, good pricing and good seasoning as well.

This is it. The best barbecue skewers from a cart in Flushing. When I first visited Flushing years ago, I remember having amazing lamb cumin skewers. On repeat visits, I never could recreate the magic of the skewer I had that first time. While Fat Ni is not the same cart I went to that first time, having Fat Ni's skewers brought me back to that first Flushing experience. I went with the same skewers I always get to try a new cart: lamb and chicken heart (both with spicy cumin). The two guys manning the grill were pros. They had just opened, so they were still getting a lot of their meat ready, but they were also cooking for those of us who caught them early and ordered. The skewers were fantastic. They were $1.50 each, which is essentially standard in Flushing. The lamb one had generous pieces of lamb that was trimmed well (no gristle), cooked perfectly tender, and had a really nice smokiness to balance the spice of the cumin. Definitely the best lamb skewer I've had in a long time. I also got the chicken heart, which far exceeded expectations. They had cut the heart in such a way that it flattened into a large oval. They were chewy in all the right ways and seasoned perfectly. These guys are not on Roosevelt or on Main St, so they need to be great to bring customers off the major streets. The people buying from this cart all seemed like locals, so you know it must be good. read more

If you want a quick cheap bite, this is the spot to get it! Serving up legit BBQ on sticks, meat ranging from beef, lamb, chicken, pork, or fish tofu balls. You can have it regular seasoned or spicy. Priced from $1.25 to $2 per stick. The flavors are really good and have a nice charcoal taste to them. read more

Capping off a four visit series (my middle update was two different visits) to Fat Ni with: biscuit, lamb tendon, and chicken hearts. At first you'll, see the chicken hearts are grilled flat, and are concerned about them being dried out. But after your first bite, you are reassured that the grill experts did not get it wrong. Lamb tendon - this is going to be a person preference thing - do you like fatty chewy items? Then order the lamb (and maybe the beef) tendon. We went with just one tendon skewer today. The biscuit - not quite mantou, maybe closer to shau bing (flat and circular). Seasoned like the rest of the grill items, and for me, best consumed with other grilled items (whether meat, seafood, or veggie). It's a generous amount of bread considering most skewers are smaller bites. read more

Great late night spot, consistent, affordable, delicious. Been going here since 2012, hits the spot every time without failure.

Ok, I have to confess... I am pretty biased when it comes to street food. I mean, the kind you REALLY stand at a street food stall/cart/whatever, in cold weather, patiently waiting while the food is being grilled/cooked in front of you. The smell... the sound... you gotta love being right there, having that 'experience'. So anyways, Fat Ni has that 'experience' for you. You place your order and while seeing the skewers nicely lined up on the grill, you are attacked by that mouth-watering smell of grilled meat-on-the-stick. My first bite into the grilled chicken, it was so deliciously spicy and full of that smokey flavor. We devoured the four skewers quickly (2xchicken, beef, gizzards) and left happy. The next night... as much as I enjoy the 'experience' to wait in the cold...and all that other stuff I just wrote... I placed a phone order of about 20 skewers. Went downstairs 15 min later (we were staying at the Hyatt across from Fat Ni's) walked downstairs, paid, brought the 20 or so skewers back to our room and had a "gameshow-TV-watching-while-eating-meat-on-a-stick-party". Yeah, delicious. read more

Located on the corner of Prince & 39th Ave.. I had no idea this awesome BBQ cart had a name on Yelp..Loll I've seen this cart here for a long time. Prices are great, very affordable and many people frequently buy in bulk.. half a dozen or a dozen skewers at a time. A typical chicken, lamb or beef skewer goes for $1.50, which is pretty good pricing. On the other corner of 39th Ave and Main Street, the Kebab and Hotdog cart owned by Nick, charges $2.25 for a beef skewer. And similar carts in Manhattan go as high as $5 per skewer, which is ridiculous! After class yesterday, I saw the guy and his partner setting up and were already cooking on their grill. So I asked them what time they were working till. They said, " from 4pm to 4am." Pretty cool. Ingredients vary as well. Whatever you can think of that you can skewer and bbq, they probably have..lol Squid, Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Chicken gizzard, Chicken heart, tofu, scallions, other vegetables, as well as, quails.. O_o And the cart right next door, is a teppanyaki grill station! I could see myself becoming a regular at Fat Ni's.. loll :D read more

excellent grill side manners. squid had a nice crunch to it without being rubbery. hearts were softer than i like but still good. I also enjoyed the lamb. The lamb pieces were of the longer strip variety and not the little nibblets of some carts. Watch out if you like spicy. If you ask for extra spicy, you can still taste and feel the heat an hour later. read more

GOTTA TRY THEIR STINKY TOFU! I'm so happy that I found this place, their stinky tofu is just soooooooooooo good! Lots of flavor, a little too salty though, you can always ask him to go light on the seasoning. But seriously, every New Yorker should try this, it's just speechlessly good. Also, keep in mind that they're only open after four, so don't come before this time because you would probably end up like me and my boyfriend, crying and running on the streets of Flushing and trying to find clues on where are they. read more
