Warning: This place is dangerous. If you come, there is a very good chance you will leave stuffed to the brim with hot pot and BBQ glory while being none the worse finance-wise. It might prompt you to make repeat visits to this establishment, resulting in a never-ending cycle of gluttonous happiness. Please listen to this victim. I knew not what I was doing when I first walked into Funny BBQ--my friend recommended the place, and I just showed up when i was told to show up. From there, I watched as fresh ingredients cooked in pork bone, tomato and pepper broths (respectively) disappeared into my mouth. Then, perfectly seasoned skewers of chicken wings and other meats made their way into my hands, which then made their way into my boca as well. It didn't stop until the complimentary Hershey's chocolate ice-cream, and it was then that I realized I'd only experienced 1/10th of Funny's extensive menu of joy. Now I'm stuck trying to decide who my next victims--er, dining companions--will be on my return visit. It's a terrible state to be in. read more

Funny BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - New York, New York

I must've walked past this place so many times without realizing what a gem it is! I'd been craving drypot for months now and finally got to satisfy it here tonight and it left me quite impressed. It was perfectly seasoned, though we could've gone spicier - medium is more on the mild side. We did the 3 protein (lamb, fish, shrimp) combo with 10 skewers + 1 drink for 2 people to share. All this for only $30 felt like such a steal. Others around us seemed to be there for the AYCE hot pot but I'll be back for this drypot/skewer combo for sure. read more

Funny BBQ - Hot Pot Near Me - New York, New York

The hot pot was good, but would not get the bbq skewers again they were all overcooked and not very flavorful. We arrived around 8pm and it was still pretty busy. Their complimentary chicken feet & crawfish were pretty good they also gave us peanuts as well. After filling out what we wanted on the menu they gave us our food pretty fast. The hot pot skewers are pretty small have small pieces of meat on them. The presentation of the eggplant and oysters were pretty nice but they tasted just ok not amazing. You get free unlimited drinks and at the end we had some watermelon and ice cream I was pretty full when we were done but was pretty disappointed about the bbq skewers they were so hard to chew especially the squid. I highly recommend the clams for hot pot they gave us these big clams that were pretty tasty. I also recommend them pork chops ribs and beef hot pot skewers. I also really liked the squash and winter melon. Next time I think I'll just stick to hot pot read more

Really fun and yummy skewers! We did the BBQ all you can eat option where we ordered a variety of meat, vegetable, and seafood skewers to try. My favorites are the grilled oysters and the grilled egg plants. Love the amount of garlic they put in them and just makes the food taste so food. I only really had lamb skewers before so it was really cool to try a wide variety of skewers and also bbq items. Also love that they have a variety of soft drinks that are included like soy milk or soda. Great spot to go with a group of friends and fun ambiance in general. The staffs were very helpful and service was really good. Our food also came out pretty quickly. read more

Staffs were friendly. We ordered their skewers to go. If you want spicy, all your skewers will be spicy. This is close by Grand Street Station B & D trains when you get off.

Coming here was a pretty rogue move if I'm being honest. Rarely do I visit a place that specializes in bbq skewers. However, this place ended up being quite good! The garlic eggplant and grilled fish appetizers were cooked to perfection. The mussels and scallops were also amazing. Only hit or miss are the skewers - some were overcooked while others were just too greasy. Ambiance was what you would expect from a place in chinatown. Service was very friendly and they let you grab infinite coconut milk and other bevs from their fridge. read more

I visited Funny BBQ for the first time to try their all-you-can-eat skewers and hotpot, and it ended up being a really solid experience. I went on a Wednesday and the service was good. The prices are very reasonable, especially with the large variety they offer. They have a long list of skewers, plenty of hotpot ingredients, a modest appetizer section, and even a fridge of drinks you can grab from. We tried a little bit of everything and definitely didn't leave hungry. The skewers were pretty decent--not the best I've ever had, but definitely flavorful and great for the price. The hotpot ingredients were fresh, and there were more than enough options to keep things interesting. They also offer ice cream for dessert, which is always a win after a big meal. The best surprise? They gave us a $15 gift card at the end, which was a really nice touch and makes me even more likely to come back. If you're craving skewers or want a casual, affordable hotpot night, Funny BBQ is absolutely worth a visit. I'd return whenever I get a skewer craving. read more

Lovely staff! The server and hostess were both very nice, helpful and accommodating on our visit. The food was just fair, however, probably not the best example of the genre to be found. Progeny 1 had the meat lover's skewer combo ($29), which came with five skewers each of: pork belly, lamb, beef, and beef short rib. Progeny 2 and I shared a choose-your-own 20 skewer set ($29) that included: yuba, fried tofu, shrimp, squid, lamb, beef, spicy beef, chicken wings, chicken skin, and probably a few other things. The spicy beef skewers were probably the best of the bunch in our view, not overly gristly, fairly well seasoned, not bland. Progeny 2 also enjoyed her wings and I the squid. Many of the other skewers didn't fare quite so well, sadly. Meat cuts came heavily laced with cartilage, fat, and in the case of the short ribs, a good amount of bone as well. Despite my general appreciation for oddments, there were a number of skewers that were 80% inedible. (Neither here nor there, and neither a pro or a con, but to my surprise, the pork belly pieces tasted cured, similar to lap cheong.) Yuba and fried tofu skewers were tough and chewy, extremely bland. (We had chosen our skewers to come mild, so perhaps that's why these skewers did not seem to come salted or seasoned.) The head-on shrimp would've been delicious, but I was a little turned off by the fact that it appeared not to've been cleaned at all. There was a big ol' intestinal vein there full of gray shrimp poop. I know I'm sounding whiny by now, but the scallion pancake that came with Progeny 1's combo meal was extremely underfried, and completely unblotted and greasy. There were two condiments on the table: one a cumin-heavy blend, the other plain red chili powder. They're potent. Go easy. :) Amazing service. If the food were on par, what a place this would be! read more

One of my go-to spots for lunch takeout. The only thing I get is the dry hotpot ($11.92 cash) and it comes with a side of rice and pre-cut slices of orange. Idk any other restaurant that gives you fruit for takeout, but I think it's a nice addition! For the dry hotpot, you can choose your protein and the level of spiciness. I usually only get one protein (either fish fillet or beef) and they give a decent amount of meat, and I get non-spicy. Even though I get non-spicy, it's still pretty flavorful. It can be a bit oily sometimes though. I love the variety of vegetables and other toppings that they add. I tried to show all of them in my picture, but here's a list of what was in it: - Fish, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, bok choy, bean sprouts, lotus root, seaweed knots, wood ear mushroom, fish tofu, tofu skin, tofu puffs, spam, rice cakes, ginger & scallion. There's cilantro placed right on top as well. And there's one other thing in there, but I'm not sure what it is... maybe thinly sliced white radish? I thought there's usually a quail egg in there too, but I didn't get it this time. Maybe they forgot or maybe they've removed it from the dish entirely. But in any case, it's A LOT of food. PRO TIP: Get a stamp card! Buy 9 dry hotpot/Malatang, get the 10th one free! read more

My friends and I went here for a birthday celebration and it was better than I expected. The menu comes in different AYCE options such as hot pot skewers or bbq skewers. We opted for the AYCE bbq skewers. Not only was everything seasoned but they have extra seasoning on the side if you want to add more. The soft drink and soda were unlimited for $2. Be careful walking around because the floor was a little slippery, might be from oil accidentally fell on the floor from all the skewers. Also if it's your birthday they give you a certain % off.

Food (2/5): The food was definitely subpar here. The meat quality was low after it finally came over an hour later. Also the sauce options was minimal and while the other ingredients were decent nothing tasted particularly great. Service (2/5): Main issue was that they barely checked up on us and the sliced beef took an insanely long time to come. We waited over an hour and by the time it came we were already full on vegetables, tofu and the meatballs which are the cheap ingredients. When it finally came the beef was also super fatty with little meat parts. The lamb was also very chewy. Not sure if delaying the beef and lamb was a cost saving policy. Ambiance (3/5): The place is not the cleanest or most modern but one plus is that the private rooms have karaoke with decent selection of songs. Issue was that our room's power kept randomly turning off including the hotpot machine. The karaoke machine also needed to download songs which took a while and when power turned off it reset. Place could use a renovation. read more

I went here for the first time for their all you can eat hotpot and skewers. It was a pretty good dining experience overall in terms of the taste of the food. We got a good amount of meat skewers and hotpot ingredients. The service was okay. I think it might have been a busy Saturday night when we went. In addition to skewers and hotpot, they have ice cream for dessert and an assortment of drinks. They even have a space for karaoke that is out in the open. The basement space that we sat has a lot of Hello Kitty items on the walls. read more

Love visiting this spot with my friends because they have a spacious interior and delicious mala soup noodles. Everything is also really worth it, and we love getting the skewers combo. The tomato beef mala soup with clear noodles are packed with flavor and so many other ingredients. The beef skewers usually always tastes great but this day we visited the beef tasted extra beefy. However, everything was super good and the service and music here is amazing! read more

My group of friends and I came at 7pm to eat the AYCE hotpot. We reserved a private room downstairs and there's ktv in there. The room isn't fancy at all but at least it works with my group of friends. Once we placed an order, we got everything expect all the red meat we ordered. Another thing I did not like was that their power isn't strong or didn't work well. We had two hot pot running. The electric hot pot that I was using didn't work well. First the outlet didn't work and I had to switch it. Afterwards, multiple times our hot pot shut off. The worst was when everything shut off (except the lights). The hot pots were off and tv. All my friends were singing and have songs on the waitlist. Everything had to restart and it killed the vibe. We did not enjoy that experience. The food was alright. The nice thing was that they had free drinks but not the beer. I love to eat beef for hot pot but it never came until we asked for more than 5 times. They kept saying it's coming but it didn't until the very end. And when the meat came, we were all pretty full. Not only that, the meat quality was that good. Definitely not worth the wait time. It was way too fat and some were chewy. I personally did not have a good experience and I probably won't come back. read more

My favorite skewers usually come from a cart in Flushing... I am so happy I no longer have to go out of my way to Queens just to get my skewer fix when I visit the city. Very spacious seating and no wait when we went in on a Sat night. Very attentive waiters and happy to explain things to you. We ordered the 20 skewer combo that was $30 and a side of their cold tripe salad (~$12-13). The skewers were perfectly seasoned and you could sprinkle more cumin/chili powder that is on the side. I like the containers they give you for your used skewers. The two of us were pretty full after this (disclaimer, we did snack all day). We did notice there were AYCE options for the hot pot or skewers. Although nothing can beat eating skewers straight off the carts, this place satisfies the craving perfectly. The menu was quite large, so will definitely be coming back to try out more! read more

While a bit on the pricier side, this was one of my favorite meals during this New York visit. And so much is actually included with the meal. They have a whole pot of crawfish, chicken, and oranges on the side that you're free to help yourself to. As well as a drink fridge (alcoholic drinks not included) where you can just load up on whatever you want, whenever you want. This was especially nice since you didn't have to wait for the waiters every time you wanted a drink. And they have a little ice cream fridge that you can help yourself to too. You order food through checking off what you want on a piece of paper. And they bring it all out pretty quickly. I love that most things come out on a skewer so you can just stick it in the pot and take it out easily whenever it's ready. And I love that they provide a bin for all your used skewers to go so you don't just have a bunch of loose sticks around your table. There are so many choices, and unique ones at that, and the quality is pretty good! And even more points for providing aprons and storing our bags for us so that they were out of the way and didn't have to smell like hotpot. read more

My friend came here a few times, and wanted to introduce me to Funny BBQ. She normally orders the 20-skewer combo ($30) when she comes in a party of 2, but I wanted to try the limited time combo menu. I ordered the Mala Tang Combo with fish filet and rice noodle, mild spice ($18.99). The combo includes 10BBQ skewers, a drink, and white rice. For skewers, I chose lamb, beef, beef tendon, shrimp, squid, and QQ sausage, with mild spice. I liked everything other than the squid because i felt that it was a little tough. I probably could have gone with medium spice for the mala. The bowl was filled with a good portion of ingredients. They did not skimp on me! It was good. The restaurant is spacious with a bathroom. Be careful when sitting on the bench because there might be some oil/food on it from the previous party. I would definitely come again if I were in the area and were craving skewers! maybe even try their hotpot and other items. read more

Updated review- visited the place again and they're now doing the AYCE drink, alcohol is not included but is in the fridge, so inquire before you take! Since my last visit, management and friendliness of staff has definitely changed. They're more attentive and quick with service. This time around, there were no missed food or incorrect food for us. They also had salmon, artic clam and abalone that was complimentary... I thought it'd be sashimi style but it was marinated in their house made sauce; wasn't bad but something different. We got here around 6ish and were seared quickly, afterwards, the place was full of patrons; EDM playing in the background, patrons speaking loudly, great vibes , great food. read more

We visited this hidden gem on a Tuesday night around 7:30 PM, and there was no wait. The all-you-can-eat experience for $45.99 includes hotpot, grilled skewers, and live fish--an incredible deal! The service was excellent; the staff were very friendly and took the time to patiently explain the menu options to us. The atmosphere is casual, with Chinese music playing on a projector screen, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend this place! There are several hotpot flavors to choose from, along with various options for live whole fish. Everything is unlimited, even the fresh whole fish, though one is usually more than enough. Still, it's great to have the option! The grilled skewers were fantastic and authentically Chinese. We tried both the spicy and tomato hotpot soups, which were flavorful, and appreciated the option to cook skewered meat in the broth. The drink selection is extensive, and I especially enjoyed the soymilk. read more

My go to AYCE spot for hot pot. They include a lot of stuff like free drink, free dessert, free small appetizers (crawfish + other small things). I think they have every option that most hot pot places. They also have skewers and the last time I went they gave me and my friend free sashimi skewers. They also play really good music haha I think the AYCE option for dinner is 35.99 and with tax and tip it ends up being ~$40-45 which feels a bit pricy but you get a lot. No complaints other than that and I will probably keep coming back and would recommend to a friend. read more

This BBQ place has excellent skewers and the first AYCE skewer BBQ place I've ever been to. From start to finish it felt like a journey inside a theme park of chinese BBQ food. I really wish the concept was more common in places like the Bay Area and LA because it's a truly special experience. There are three things that make this place great: - The ordering. They do this in a lot of chinese places but you're given a paper menu, and you write in these boxes how much of each item your table wants. This in combination with the AYCE aspect makes the ordering experience a lot more fun for some reason. - The service. Food comes very quickly and is served in batches. You are always free to order more on the whim, so it really feels like you're pressing an infinite food button when you order. - The skewers. All five of us were completely stuffed by the end of this meal because all of the food was great. There isn't anything remarkable about skewers, so don't expect it to blow your mind. The one thing I would recommend thinking about is if your party isn't eating insane amounts of food, consider ordering everything a la carte instead of AYCE. I'd say we eat a lot, yet we tallied up our orders and it was only around half the cost of the AYCE itself. I assure you the cost isn't too expensive, so order to your heart's content when you're here even if you do a la carte! read more

Came by on weekday evening for 2 and was seated right away. It was a paper system which they replaced pretty quickly to allow you to order more. They have complimentary chicken feet and crawfish. I would say that the skewers were pretty small in size and the beef had a lot of fat compared to the meat. My friend really likes their garlic oysters. Overall a decent place for ayce skewers. read more

Top tip: If you do come here to eat, go with the AYCE rather than ordering a la carte. AYCE by far is the better deal, which my boyfriend and I didn't know when we came... turns out the portion sizes of each skewer is super small (think one quail egg per skewer and half bok choy per skewer). The flavors of the dry skewers are just meh; the hot pot skewers are better. Maybe the AYCE would've helped us not feel ripped off, because the portion sizes were so small, getting 50 skewers was like 10 real skewers... Had no trouble getting a seat on a Sunday evening so that was a plus. read more

The hot pot was okay. They allowed me to make the tomato broth vegetarian since apparently, all the broths are pork based. The bf got the spicy broth and said it didn't h add e any flavor. It was just spicy. He spent the entire meal picking out all pf the Sichuan pepper and pepper corns from his pot. The selection of add-ins was plentiful, but my problem was with the service. I ordered a blue crab, and never got it. I only remembered that i ordered it because i saw another table eating one as I was leaving. I ordered a bowl of rice two times, and never got it. I ordered fried tofu, and they gave me fried fish sticks instead Also, when I was halfway done with the broth, a server game by to offer more. I told him no since I knew mine was vegetarian. He insisted and poured the pork broth into my pot anyways. So yeah, dinner was over after that. Again, before the mishap, the pot was okay. Not the best I ever had but good enough. read more

They have only one good, reasonably priced dish. Everything else was mediocre and could be gotten elsewhere. The Mala (dry) hot pot $15 (fora choice of 3 meats/mushrooms) is a pretty good deal and ordering two for two people is more than enough to fill you up. Everything else is overpriced and average. While they also serve an all you can eat hotpot ($40) you can get better quality and choices elsewhere (hometown and 99 favor taste). read more

My first hot pot experience at a restaurant. When I have hot pot, it's usually at a family gathering, so experiencing hot pot at a restaurant was something I wanted to try out. Also good to note that we went to three other hot pot locations before stumbling upon this one as it seems like a lot of hot pot locations didn't survive the pandemic. My gf and I did the AYCE hot pot (about $30 per person). There's no time limit, so you're not in a rush to eat as much as you can or complaining if they're stalling on you to kill your time. You're given a checklist of items you'd want and in the box you put the amount you'd like. I made the mistake of checking them off, but it's actually for quantity. For broth, we got half spicy broth and half herbal broth. Wasn't a fan of the spicy broth as it was just super oily with a bunch of various peppers with no other flavor to it. The herbal was a lot more refreshing as you'd expect, which I preferred from the two. The majority of the items on the checklist, they only give you four pieces. If you're in a group of more than four, definitely want to put a minimum of two in those checkboxes. Service is pretty good for the most part. We had our broth refilled halfway through the pot hot, plates were cleared when we were finished emptying them into the hot pot. One of the staff members had bad BO, which would be my one complaint. Other than that, my overall experience was a okay. read more
