    free peanuts and pickled radish
    Amanda W.

    Fun experience nice service grill ur own skewers. You can choose half cooked to cut down ur own grilling time. Good ventilator hood works well. Bathroom is spacious and there's one in basement too.

    Food was mid The squid was the best part of the meal but the others were not too flavorful. It was interesting when they had us go upstairs to what was a room converted into "dining space" - very sketch hahaha. Portion was much smaller for the price (as opposed to what most comments had mentioned). Skewers were also quite bland, especially the chicken skew, was a bit disappointed. Slow service, no refills on tea and no attention to when we were done. We just went back downstairs and asked for bill, probably could have dined and dashed and they wouldn't even notice but of cutouts r we wouldn't do that Overall interesting expeirence since it's my first time dining in a normal "room" at a restaurant, almost felt like I was in china but probably would not come back

    Finally got to dine in here last month. My bf and I have ordered take out previously but always wanted to experience the skewers fresh! They use a charcoal grill and you grill the skewers yourself. We ordered beef, chicken, and squid skewers. Also got an enoki mushroom appetizer and the cold noodles. The enoki mushroom wasn't the flavor I imagined so wasn't a huge fan. Really liked the cold noodles though! The skewers cooked pretty easily, we liked the beef the best. They were lightly marinated in some sort of sauce, making them really good and tender! The chicken was alright but we ended up overcooking some of them. Didn't like the squid, was hoping for the tentacles but realized the menu didn't specify! The dry spice mix, LOVE. Wish I knew what they put in here so I could make some myself!!

    This would be a nice place to experience making your own skewers and meeting with friends. Recommend try their kitchen items. It's good! Friendly staffs, maybe too busy, don't have time to check with table if there's any needs etc.

    Such a great experience to make your own skewers. The restaurant is spacious with a few tables available for dine in. There is a lot of different food options you can choose from and a lot of different variety. You can also choose to grill your own skewers or they can do it for you. The service is quick, only complaint I have is that they didn't serve us any water while we sat down like most restaurants do. Do get the jellyfish salad as it's very refreshing after having a lot of skewers. My favorite skewers was the beef and lamb. A good experience if you never made your own skewers before with your own private fire grill pit!

    In the mood for some hot, fatty but deliciously marinated lamb skewers that perfectly cooked with a slight charm? Then, You'll love this spot! Other yelpers are right, spot can feel a little shady but you see locals standing on line just to get a table tells you it's worth the spot. Staff are super efficient, quick and polite. Food is fresh in spite of the dilapidated decor. Our group divulged in lamb, beef tendon and intestine skewers along with the sweet and sour pork and string beans stir fried in garlic (all of which I recommend). You can also ask them to get it 80% of the way and your party can grill the remaining. FYI they give a spicy Cucumber salad on the house which goes great with everything to cleanse the palette.

    Very bad taste and service. My partner got stomachache after having it. I feel so sorry for him. Don't recommend going. A waste of money. Very expensive. Ambiance is okay.

    spice mix, boiled peanuts, radish kimchi. I added MSG, salt & cumin for dipping.
    Dean G.

    Our meal at Ming Xing was delicious and loads of fun. Loved that we controlled grilling the skewers ourselves as we like a little more char than the owner suggested. Eggplant, potatoes, and peppers was outrageously good. Dongbei style. Fabulous snacks: the best boiled peanuts I have ever had as they were a touch firmer and crunchier than typical. Radish kimchi was spectacular. Not surprising as the owner's family came from Korea to Dongbei. Apparently a lot of folk got out of North Korea and emigrated to Dongbei. The trick to the skewers is seasoning them. They gave us a plate of a chile mix. There was a spice box with cumin seeds, salt and MSG. I put little piles of each on the side of the plate and each piece got 4 dips. The more dipping, the better the flavor. Their grills are gas-powered and they put charcoal on top. We found that as the coals got hot and turned white that the flavor was maximized. We ordered 20 skewers and the stir fry but that was a little too much. Next time we need to go with more people. The owner was super nice We has a great chat about the food, Dongbei, and his family coming from North Korea before he was born.

    Pleasantly surprised! Pays (in this case) not to listen when someone else steers you away, because I ventured into MingXing anyways....immediately seated and greeted and offered a drink. Good start. Staff was very helpful with ordering and I took his suggestions of lamb skewers and an order of dumplings. Lamb arrives almost fully cooked, allowing you to put the finishing touch as to your own preferences over the flaming grill imbedded in your table. Absolutely delicious lamb, although the skewers are smaller than you expect so order one and another half order in order to satisfy a big appetite. The dumplings were fresh and amazing! Highly recommend when in the area. I know I'll be returning for more. Enjoy!

    Right before you walk in, you question whether or not you're walking into some grandmas $20 massage joint. It's a bit divey looking. The waiters are straight up from China and I couldn't tell if they even understood English. But the food is amazing. The variety of meat skewers were delicious. Especially the lamb and the lamb leg skewers. The tripe with chili oil is good. I hope this unknown spot stays unknown cause I am likely going to be a frequent patron.

    Delicious!!! All the dishes we had were excellent. We really enjoy the eggplants and potatoes dish. The salad with vinegar dress is refreshing to have with the grilled meats. We went around 2:30P-3:00P on Sunday. The restaurant was pretty full and only 2 waiters but they still gave good service with no bad attitude.

    Shrimp Fried Rice, lamb skewers, complimentary sides
    Vivian S.

    A great spot away from the center of Flushing, great for large or small parties! Came with a group of 8 people, ordered a bunch of skewers, dishes, and drinks. According to my friends, the highlights were the shrimp fried rice (made w short grain rice and was "super buttery feeling, slightly sweet and salty, the best fried rice ever"), the grilled bullfrog (small chunks in peppercorn sauce with bell peppers, wood ear mushrooms, and other veggies), the fried pork in vinegar sauce, and the mapo/mapa tofu. The menu has both Chinese and Korean items and descriptions, but the owners are Korean. Service was fast and great on a Saturday afternoon. I only deducted a star because there were very little vegan options. I was not able to order anything, so I just sat and ate the complimentary sides (seasoned boiled peanuts and marinated onions, both great!). Wish there were labels on the menu for vegetarians and vegans!

    I ate here with my boyfriend who only understands Chinese but with pointing out what we wanted we were able to order. Flushing is full of diversity and this hole in the wall delivers through its traditional Chinese and Korean cuisine. The staff speaks Chinese, Korean, and some English but I recommend coming with someone who can at least understand the first two. We ordered the skewers and it was delicious! The cumin mix isn't too over powering and the staff helps cook your meat if you're newbies. It's a small place but a Flushing gem.

    Do they have large table which can fit at least 8 to 10 people?

    Not if you want to sit down and grill your own skewers by the fire...but they do have bigger tables that can fit 8 people upstairs but skewers will be grilled by the kitchen

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.

I love that they have a huge variety of flavors and seasonings: 3 sauces, korean ssamjang peppers and garlic, 3 spice blends for dipping. The servers were all very friendly and gave us some great recommendations on what to order, so we got a combination of beef and pork cuts, as well as veggies and eel. The eel is so fresh and juicy, the waitress told us they get their eels live and process it in their own kitchen. They cook everything right in front of you, unlike kbbq places where you cook meat yourself. I also appreciated the good ventilation, we didn't smell like meat at all after leaving the restaurant! Additional notes: - we thought it was funny that they put sprinkles in the potato salad, it may seem kind of odd but definitely very Chinese (compliment btw) - it ended up being almost $50 pp for 4 people - we got lucky and didn't have to wait, but I hear there's usually a line, so definitely call ahead to suss out the wait

Super great vibe for hanging out with friends! We got a variety of the skewers here and I thought that all of the seasoning was great and that the portions were good; the pieces were big so the meat wasn't dry at all. I appreciated how you could customize your spice level for each and even whether you wanted it grilled or fried (for some). We also got a variety of their dishes and I enjoyed each. Amazing food to enjoy with drinks haha.

    Ordered pick up from this place the other day due to an ice rice cravings (my go to place is closed…read moreon Thursdays). So, my boyfriend and I decided to check out the ice rice from this place as well as a couple of other items. Firstly, I got deep fried rice cake skewers. They were just okay because I was expecting some kind of crunch after seeing deep fried. However, there was no crunch at all and it was a little lacking in flavor. I did enjoy it though because it still had a very chewy texture which was what I was looking for. The chicken skewers I liked a lot better. The chicken was tender and although also more lightly seasoned than places, I really enjoyed it! My boyfriend wanted to try the Udon Noodles from the menu as well which I was pleasantly surprised with. The udon noodles were perfectly bouncy and did not feel too oily. And for the star of the show, we got the Milk Tea Chilled Ice. It came with a lot of toppings on the rice varying from taro mochi to herbal jelly and watermelons which were all delicious. The milk tea base is a light Earl Grey Milk Tea and being someone who struggles with black tea sometimes, this black tea was really good! It was nicely floral from the earl grey but not bitter at all! I will definitely be back again to try out a couple more items since they do close pretty late as well. They have a huge fine in area so I will probably try dining in.

It was a bit drafty at the table closest to the doors, but the host was super accommodating and willing to switch our table. He also provided us with some hot tea while we waited - so considerate! We decided on the Mixed Combo B for 2, which comes with pork belly, pork shoulder, brisket, and marinated short ribs. All of the meats are really good. I'm not the biggest fan of pork shoulder, but this was good here! Kimchi stew always hits different at BBQ spots, and Golden Pig's is delicious. We ordered an extra to go! They don't have a takeout menu yet, but the staff was kind enough to pack us some kimchi and rice anyway. Banchan here is simple but done really well. All orders are put in on the tablet at each table. While the layout of the restaurant is still very much similar to Jeong Yook and Baekjeong previously, it's definitely an upgrade. Ventilatation is pretty good but be prepared to still smell a bit after. Prices are super reasonable. Parking is doable but not always the easiest. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Sometimes when I go to a kbbq, some meats are just meh and tough to eat. But everything was so good. My favorite meat was the marinated short rib. The servers cooked for us and asked us how done we liked our meat and they constantly refilled our kimchi and side salads as well. They provided hot tea and cold water for us too which were stored in really nice carafes. Little small details in this place just elevated the experience for me. I would definitely come back! I think price was very reasonable for a kbbq place as well!
