When I got a take out of ice rice they charged me $7.75, when the menu said $7.50. When asked, they said it was due to separating containers there is an extra charge of $.25. However, when you get take out from any other restaurant they always separate the rice or the noodles from the soup base without an extra container charge. They've been charging me extra all the time and I haven't questioned it at all but this time I really have to say something because of how little amount of rice I get each time for take out, with or without putting the rice in separate containers to pay that extra charge. The cashier even looked annoyed when explaining to me why I got extra charge when it is my right to question why I was charged extra when the menu clearly stated otherwise. read more

Mr Q's Gourmet - Chang le ice rice - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great for a late night snack. Since the pandemic they have both indoor and outdoor dining. They have skewers, noodles, appetizers and some desserts. I usually get their beef noodle soup. My only complain is that the noodle is not consistent most of the time. Sometimes the noodles is overcook, undercook, too much cooking whine. I still order it since just skewers won't full me up. They also smoothies on their menu but they are all syrup. I like how convenient Mr Q is and is definitely one of my midnight snack option. read more

Mr. Q's never disappoints! They have a wide assortment of different skewers, ranging from meats (lamb, chicken, bacon), veggies (chives, mushroom, lotus root), and even desserts (ice rice). Almost all the food here is cooked and layered with a bit of spice , not enough for it to be hot, but sometimes you just gotta love the taste of grilled MSG Also, ice rice dessert is relatively unique and amazing refreshing during the summer so give that a try! Highly rec Also, priced very reasonably, cash only though! read more

Was so excited to come try this spot since many of my friends rave about how good mr q's is. Honestly I was a bit disappointed. I got the rice cake, beef and lamb skewer for take out and thought that the taste was just alright. I've had the same rice cake skewer before at a skewer cart and it was super crispy and well seasoned. The rice cake skewers here are not crispy at all and was drenched in sauce making it kind of soggy. The lamb and beef skewers were alright but I thought they were not very well seasoned. My fiancé also said the same. The prices are quite fair though! The rice cake skewers were only $1.75 each and the beef and lamb were $2.25 each. We got our food fairly quickly after ordering which was nice. They don't have much seating at this location though so probably not the best for larger gatherings. Overall, not bad but nothing too special. read more

Skewers are always a favorite back in college days when the nights were young past midnight. Fast forward years later, they're still desirable but with a price. While I don't think it's always worth it (think about 5 skewers costs as much as a rice box) it does satisfy the cravings when they're here. When you ask for milk spicy, it tends to be on the spicier side. My favorite is always the rice cake and the enoki mushroom wrapped in bacon. Their fishballs are nothing special. Their meat skewers are decent and their squid tentacles are pretty fun to eat! I don't come often but when I do, i enjoy it all!! read more

Had a small snack. Ordered 2 beef sticks, 1 lamb stick, cauliflower, and strawberry smoothie. Just right for a small meal. Price is fair. Smoothie is cold and has a little flavour. read more

The restaurant was not very packed at the time I went. The menu was easy to follow. Everything tasted good. They have a mix of vegetables and protein to order from. In addition, the restaurant provides siracha and spicy powder on the side. Definitely coming back for the fast and convenient snack! read more

I love coming to Mr.Q's for a late night snack! This is my favorite bbq spot. The waitress takes your order quickly and serves our food quick as well. However, yesterday's service was a bit slower than usual. It took the waitress 20 minutes to get to our table and served our food 15 minutes after. When I went up to pay, I saw the waitress socializing instead of taking orders for the other tables. I ordered lotus root, eggplant, string beans, chicken kidney, and cauliflower. The waitress will ask you if you want your food spicy or not when you're ordering. You grab your own drink from the refrigerator! One skewer is about $2-$3. decent price! The environment is pretty chill. There's chinese music playing on the television. FYI IT'S CASH ONLY!!!! read more

Ahh skewers how you've stayed the same high quality over all these years amazes me. I used to come here when I was in college and get late night skewers and they always hit the spot! My usual is always chicken wing, lamb, Chiba tofu, and the bacon with mushroom. Soo good and you can ask them to make it spicy if you like that. They have outdoor dining now but I had mine as takeout. I used to come in here and eat and drink some herbal tea as well to balance out my late night haha. Definitely get skewers here if you're in 8th Ave! read more

I can't believe I forgot to review this place! I've been coming here since late college, way too many years ago. Go to Mr. Q's if you are a fan of: good skewers, good noodles and a good casual environment! Hands down the best deals are the chicken wings. You won't find fresher cooked, larger or juicier chicken wings in the area. Next, sate your curiosity by order random parts of animals and vegetable combinations. While weird, you are aksmot guaranteed a tasty treat. Fancy some frog legs? I'll keep coming back for sure. :) read more

My new go-to place for skewers! I was craving for skewers and my usual spot wasn't there due to the weather. I went on Yelp and found this place close by to the train station. This place is really small and it is very dark inside. I actually wasn't expecting much but when I got home, I was very satisfied with what I got. The bacon wrapped asparagus is definitely my personal favorite! The beef ribs and chicken was also very good. I also ordered a beef stick but the meat was very tough and dry. Definitely will be coming back to try the other stuff on the menu! read more

This is my fav late night snack spot! The French fries are soooo good they taste better than McDonalds. My usual go to order is the rice cake, chives, cabbage, chicken, sausage and this new bread thing that i forgot what it's called (I have a picture included!). I don't really like the beef sticks, they are a bit dry. read more

First picture is the Takoyaki 6Pcs from this store 10 month ago. And second picture is the Takoyaki 5pcs I just got. Missing piece, find!!!, but this BURN, AMAZING. Where are the sauce and bonito flake. Look more like some burn fish ball that my dog won't eat. I know we still in the middle of pandemic but this kind of quality, INTERESTING . And I'm still wondering how the person who did this can even give this to the customer, my eye . Did he/her think the customer are blind?. read more

Best spot in the area for late night snacks and drinks! The menu has a large selection of meat/vegetable/seafood skewers for $2-$4 each. Beer is also only $3. My two favorite menu items are the Salt & Pepper Squid appetizer and the Bacon Mushroom - both are seasoned perfectly every time and are a must-try! However, be aware that they will make everything spicy unless you tell them beforehand. They have chili powder on the side so you can always request no spice and then add it yourself. read more

Mr Q's Gourmet - Lamb, Rice Cakes, Bacon Mushroom, Chicken, Beef - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

IMPORTANT: CASH ONLY! I didn't think the skewered food would be that special or worth it before going here but now that I've had it once, I await to eat them again. My friend raved about the bacon mushroom skewer so of course I had to give that a try. Also got the cauliflower, chicken and eggplant while my friend ordered the rice cake, mushroom and mussels. The skewers can be shared which is what we did, but it can be slightly tricky since all we had were the plates the skewers came plated on and napkins. I LOVED the bacon mushroom!! It was the first one I tasted and flavors just exploded in the mouth. Not the biggest fan of bacon but lord, this bacon stick just changed the game. I really wanted to order another one at the end of the meal but my wallet and stomach held me back. Everything tasted pretty good for whatever I got to try. There's this spicy powder on the table to add a kick to your skewers, but it's a little too much for me. The chicken skewer might have been rubbed on the grill for a little too long cause the outside texture was a little grainy; taste-wise, still good. Eggplant is VERY OILY btw but why eat here if you are worried about such things. I thought these skewers wouldn't fill me up but it did well in satisfying my stomach for dinner. Service could definitely be worked on such as why our food came later than the party who ordered after us... And I don't know where the servers hide cause I didn't see them in sight when I was ready to pay. The restroom is a little tight in space and not the freshest place, but other than that, I'm down to come here again anytime!!! read more

Skewer heaven. Great little spot for some indoor late night skewers. There's a good variety on the menu, enough vegetarian options as well. If language is a barrier, just point and be ready to tell them spicy or non spicy, to go or dine in. Seat yourself. Definitely a no tipping, grab your own drink from the fridge establishment. The wait on the food varies on how many orders they're waiting on, because the kitchen is only so big. Oh yeah, CASH ONLY for sure. read more

As someone who lives in queens and has to take the long drive down here to see my friends Everytime this place has pretty much become a staple in my adventures in Brooklyn. Open late at night with usually enough seating to fit most groups. The food is good and super straight forward. Get the chicken wing it's good af. The regular skewers are great too. Splurge on the tea cause you can't really eat skewers without em. read more

If you are looking for late night snacks, this is the perfect spot. Once it goes dark, barely anything is still open in 8ave. But, Mr.Q's is open until 2am. Mr.Q's is best known for selling skewers. They sell vegetables, meats, and seafood on skewers at a fair price. My favorite were the bacon mushroom and squid tentacle skewers. It's a cozy restaurant. Inside, there are around 6 picnic tables for seating. I came around 9pm and all the tables were taken. Walked around and came back after 10min and was able to be seated immediately. Cash only! Service is good and food comes out fairly quickly. read more

This is a chinese stewer place.. it's a goood place for midnight snack. It ends at 3am in the morning. There was a lot of ppl there at 11pm!! Definitely visit this place if you're in Brooklyn Their sticky rice stewer is surprisely good.. they made the sticky rice very flat and they grill it so the outside is very crispy and is covered with spice on top. I was introduced by my friend and I was really surprised by the texture and taste.. it's a feeling like you can't get enough of it. I got the sticky rice ($1.00 per)and chicken kidney ($1.50) ( lol just personal preference) Try it to hate it right.....!!! I'll definitely return to try some more !! read more

Terrible experience. You ask the waiter to take a fork, they will ignore you with chopsticks. Their attention is on their phones. The drink spilled on my pants while serving and all the people in the store didn't apologise to me and wanted me to pay in full when I paid. After the incident, their attention was still on their mobile phones. I don't understand whether they came to work or to play with their mobile phones. Never will come back to this place again read more

My friends and I love this skewer place. We got here around 8 and it was empty, but within 10 minutes all 5 tables were filled up. You can choose the spicy level but there is the spice on the side for you to add on if you want the extra spice. read more

The skewers at Mr. Q's is one of the best tasting skewers I've had so far in Brooklyn. They come grilled hot and delicious with a cumin and chili spice flavor. The menu is straight forward and the process if you choose to dine in is you choose the skewers you wish to eat with the waitress and then in 10 minutes they serve you your array of skewers that are grilled to perfection. My favorites are the gluten rice cakes, lamb, beef, enoki with bacon and egg plant skewers. They also have a self serve fridge in which you choose your beverage of choice to enjoy with your food. I heard from my sister that the beef skewers are either a hit or miss depending on how busy the day is, thank goodness yesterday night was a busier night so our meat was juicy instead of dry. Delicious and simple eats. read more

It's basically one of those bbq carts but way better! Never tried the place till my friends told me to go with them and boy have I been missing out! I don't think I'll go back to those bbq carts around 8ave anymore. Their skewers are amazing but I'd strongly recommended the sweet potato fries , it's seasoned with a sour and kind of sweet seasoning and I just move it! Their bacon mushroom skewers are really good too This place closes around 3AM, so it's s good place to go for a late night snack or after a party read more

I love going to Mr. Q's. I initially would have rated this only 3 stars a few years back but I have since mastered how to order here. When I go to the skewer trucks for a quick snack, my go-to is typically 2 beef sticks. However, this place isn't the place for beef. It's more lean and I like it with more fat. The fish tofu, beef ball, chicken wing, chives, cauliflower are the all stars here. Some of my friends are not a fan of their fries but I get them every time. I enjoy them thin and crispy, sprinkled with chili powder. The prices are fair and you can get a lot of great food without breaking the bank. Their fridge is stocked with your popular Asian drinks. They also serve Corona, Heineken, and recently added hard Seagram's. read more

A quarter more expensive than how much you would typically pay for skewers you can buy outside. NO TIP, but you're basically paying slightly higher prices for seating. The skewers are well flavored with probably MSG and other spices, because I was pretty thirsty after eating some. They don't serve you water here, and will direct you to their fridge if you want something to drink - which is probably going to happen because of the MSG. 4-5 tables in here but can be crowded because it's a small space. Unless you're craving some skewers I would try to resist until the next day because it's cheaper and tastes the same. read more

The service attitude of answering the phone is too bad. I bought a lot of things and I said not to be spicy. When I get the food they all spicy, and I couldn't eat it. I called and asked if I could change it or not. She said can't change it. It's really speechless. read more

I came here with my cousins and I ordered the Taiwan chicken. It was probably the worse Taiwan chicken I've ever had. In fact, there was nothing Taiwanese about it. Really small pieces and over fried. No flavor. I wished I bought the Taiwan chicken from Vivi across the street. I didn't give this place a two star just because of that. My cousin ordered the ramen noodle and chose the ramen noodles but instead, he got potato noodles. There was also nothing ramen about the dish... it looked like a total Chinese dish with lightly colored water-soup, y'know, the Chinese style of basic noodles... When he told the waitress she got the order wrong, she said oh, sorry and went back to the kitchen. We thought she would come out with a new dish, the one he actually ordered. But she came out with the check instead... with the ramen included in the bill, even though he did not touch the ramen at all. Um... what. We complained and she took the ramen bowl away and marked it off the check. I gave it one extra star because my cousins said the skewers weren't bad. But... they gave us a few wrong skewers too.. so... this whole experience was pretty bad. read more

Mr Q's Gourmet - "Taiwan chicken"... Not. Disappointed. Very dry. - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Highlight: cheap late night bbq skewers Pretty much your typical bbq cart place but with seating. Place is really small and can only fit about 20 customers at a time. Theres a small selection of drinks in the fridge that you can enjoy. I reccomend the bacon wrapped mushroom and fish cakes! Ending up spending $40 for 4 people but we ordered a good amount of skewers. Each skewer averages $2.50 but theres a decent amount of food with each stick. read more

The quality and taste went down a lot since a year ago. Did they change the owner? Very disappointed.

A cockroach fell from the ceiling onto our plate. Appetite went out the window, and we went out the door. Longer version: health invaders aside, the skewers are pretty tasty. Probably BBQed by a man whose manning the kitchen during TVB commercials. The chicken wing (with bone) comes out to $1.75 each and they're sizable. One will not fill you up, but 2 or 3 is certainly enough to get your taste buds going. But also roaches. Probably not coming back, at least not sober. Note, apparently tipping here is not the norm. 1AM on a Saturday night and tables around us vacated without any tips. We had other reasons to not tip: a la cockroach. read more

I remember when skewers (from anywhere) were a dollar each...those were the good 'ole days. But prices are still relatively low so I'm not upset. Generally won't spend more than $10 for a good amount of food. My friend recommended the squid tentacles ($1.50), so I ordered one of those and one each of my go-to's, chicken ($1.25) & beef ($1.50). All the tables were taken (around 10 PM on a Thursday night) so we decided to take it to-go. Skewers were ready in about 15 minutes. The chicken was the best, super tender and juicy! Beef was a little too dry, and squid was good, satisfying little crunch to it. Definitely recommending the chicken, I'm probably gonna get a bunch of chicken skewers next time I visit. read more

Mr Q's has one of the best cheap foods in Brooklyn. The meat sticks have above average quality for their price. They also provide spicy seasoning that gives a good amount of flavor. However, I wouldn't recommend it for non-spicy enthusiasts. Overall, Mr Q's is a good spot to stop for some cheap eats or a quick snack. read more

Satisfies my cravings everytime, and fills you up after 4-5 skewers (~$10). I definitely recommend the bacon mushroom, beef, chicken, lotus root, and popcorn chicken! The spice is tolerable; I'd recommend getting a mild level and adding the powder on your own. You can bring your own beverages into the restaurant. They sell desserts and alcoholic drinks too. Their bathroom is very clean as well! Currently there is both outdoor and indoor seating (4 tables outside and 4 inside). read more

If you think you're getting great food at a cheap price, you cannot be more wrong. Two pieces of lamb meat on a skewer for around $2. A fried chicken leg (which is not even an actual leg but the drumette of a chicken wing) for $3. I'm not even complaining about the false advertisement and size but that the menu said it was $2, but the lady insisted otherwise and gave an attitude. Not to mention I ordered 4 things on the menu and she only brought me 2. Took forever for her to bring me the other 2 items after I had to reorder them. If you like super greasy food and a waitress with a lousy attitude, this is the place for you. This rating also reflects how well lit it is inside. read more
