    Much better than the nearby Mongrel BBQ Cart, which is run by dogs. What to get: Lamb Kebab Skewer with Cumin Spice... wow. There are quite a few of these heavenly Chinese BBQ carts all over Flushing. The Mongolian Cart, when it's there (and sometimes it's not), is one of the best. The skewers of Lamb (with spice, which is Cumin), are so heavenly, that there's no need to order anything else. Although you may wish to, just to compare. Walk south on Main St from Xi'an or the train station or Roosevelt... you will get here after about 5 minutes. You may have to wait awhile for your skewers, so if it's cold, make sure you're bundled up. Dirt cheap and some of the juiciest, most amazing lamb kebabs you'll ever eat. And don't trust the other cart nearby run by apes. The employees constantly misinform you. Which is why it's called Monkeylying BBQ Cart.

    One of the many street carts in Flushing that sell excellent kebabs for $1 apiece. So why 5 stars for this one, and just 4 for the qually excellent Xinjiang BBQ Cart[1]? Simple: this is the only cart I found in Flushing that sells duck kebabs and fish kebabs. Squid kebabs, to be precise. Tucked on Sanford Ave. a little away from busy Main St. and Kissena Blvd, this cart may be easily overlooked by the non-trained (i.e. white) eye, since the name and the menu are written only in Chinese. That's what stimulated my curiosity in the first place: this place must be good. I was particularly curious about the squid kebab[2]. I LOVE squid! I always liked its chewy consistency and the sweet taste. When I was a kid, every Friday my father would bring home some wonderful squids from the fish market, and grill them whole on what looked like a panini press. The squid would then be cut into smaller pieces, and eaten with olive oil, a dash of lemon, freshly chopped parsley and garlic, and a pinch of salt. It was simple and wonderful. This squid kebab brought back all those memories and more[3]! A few things are more satisfying than fresh, tasty food prepared in the simplest possible way. While I happily chew on this delicious squid, I wonder how come that the only cart in Flushing that sells squid is from Mongolia. Do they have squid in Mongolia...? ----------------------------------------------------- [1] http://www.yelp.com/user_details_review_search?userid=QwY_IrZ7Xs4N1ksO6GUBOA&q=xinjiang [2] I also tried the lamb kebab: deliciously fatty and juicy! [3] If, like me, you have a fascination for squids and krakens alike, I recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Search-Giant-Squid-Mythology-Creature/dp/0140286764/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1283396129&sr=1-1

    I am not a fan of BBQ meat on a stick from a street food cart but when there are 15+ children, women, and men waiting patiently for the BBQ meat-on-a-stick to cook at the corner of Stanford and Main St. and it is only for a $1, OH MY! I will break my taboo once. (I hate following the herd but it's for Yelp.) I tried it and it tasted pretty good; I am still not sure what kind of meat I ate (see Matteo's review for possible animal type!) but it was tasty and not too heavy on the marinate. Since I can not compare it to any other BBQ food cart; yes it is good but the smoke; cough, cough! Tip: And don't try to talk to anyone they'll think you are trying to cut the line. People do look like they are cutting the line when the cook started to serve.

    Keep them Sticks Coming!

    My 1st choice for Mongolian BBQ Skewers ... I been coming to this spot for awhile & I just keep coming back. The Lamb, Beef & Squid are on point, full of flavor & tender, always cooked just right. The Spicy seasoning is addicting with a KICK! Spicy & Xtra Spicy are the only way to go :). Try not to stand next to the BBQ Cart while the skewers are being prepared. The smoke produced by the grill latches onto clothing ... You will smell, like a giant Charcoal Grill The Entire Day! FYI: Prepare to wait at least 5 minutes ... $1.25 per skewer!

    You'll always get tasty treats from any of these carts. $1 for a freshly grilled skewer over charcoal - serioulsy? We grabbed a quick snack opting for a lamb and chicken gizzard each and asked for extra spicy. Delicious! Why can't we have carts like these in SF?!?

    I arrived from Oregon late, and was interested in something quick for dinner before heading to my…read morehotel -- alas the food cart that I hoped for was not available. So Red Sorghum beckoned. It has a nice interior and I suspect may get busy during peak hours, although I was able to slip in at the bar just fine. I tried the Lucky Coin tofu. It was good! It was a bit spicy for my palate, though I'm glad I stuck with it. Be sure to order it with rice -- they initially served it without, and it definitely needs it.

    Pros: delicious spicy food! (Do not bother coming if you don't like spice)…read more Cons: they charge for rice SPICY!!!! Which is perfect for me!! We had the lucky coin tofu and the mala squid and chives (not pictured because I forgot lol) I loved the texture each and it made a great combo. The only con is that they charge for rice, which to me is a very cheap move. You know that nobody is going to eat this without rice! Why are we charging? My local takeout Chinese doesn't charge, so why should an upscale restaurant charge? I've been meaning to come to this place for a while and was not disappointed! The service was great. My friend wanted an IPA, but they ran out of the beer. She asked for a recommendation and the server ended up going to the kitchen and specifically finding an IPA for her. I had a sip and it was quite good! The restaurant was beautiful with lots of space! The seats were very comfy. I appreciate how they actually gave us good seats. Usually, restaurants will put you in the corner even if it's a full restaurant because it's convenient to them.

There were plenty of empty tables and way too many servers with big bluetooth headsets for them to be acting like we weren't worth their time. I would not have cared about anything, not even them doing prepwork in the dining room, if we could have just eaten congee and sweet potato pancakes. But no. Save yourself the frustration and go anywhere else. We ended up going to Prince Tea House where everything was cute and the servers knew how to do their jobs.

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.
