The mini kimbap was not what I expected--instead of one fat sushi-like tube cut into pieces, I received five small thin flutes. Even so, the kimbap was delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh.

Everything is already prepared and laid out, so you simply point to what catches your eye and they serve it up on small plates, kind of like a casual, self guided dim sum experience. At $5.99 per plate, it feels like a good deal at first, especially since you can mix and match and try a little bit of everything. I ended up grabbing a nice variety, and it was fun tasting different dishes in one sitting. My favorites were definitely the braised pork belly (rich and flavorful), the fish and the tomato with eggs, which was simple but really satisfying. There's plenty of seating if you want to dine in, but it's also super convenient for takeout. The only thing to keep in mind is that while each plate is inexpensive, it's easy to lose track and have the bill add up quickly. Overall, a solid choice for quick, tasty Chinese comfort food with lots of variety.

From favorite to least favorite: Pan fried chicken bao buns 6pc (5/5): Stuffed to the brim with super juicy, flavorful ground chicken.

Be warned that this dish is VERY hot. Peanut noodles (4/5): The sauce is thick and creamy but lacked some depth to the flavor. Noodles itself was delish. Lamb and beef skewers (2/5): While seasoned well, both were over cooked so much that it was dry and meh. Everything was super yummy and we plan on coming again to try their other dishes!

I was about to get that burger but I decided to go with a crispy chicken burger. The crispy chicken won my heart for the size of the chicken it came in. The sandwich was really big and worth my money. It tasted really crispy as the menu said. I also got fries along with a coke. The fries were thin sticks that came with a seasoning powder. The seasoning was mildly spicy and added a kick to the fries. Pretty tasty with it. The place itself was very nice and fancy with a nice stone wall decor in the back of the restaurant. The lighting was very nice and made the place very elegant. The place however was very quiet and there was no one there when I went there during lunch time. It did not really look like a fast food place with the nice seats and tables. It looked very high end for a fast chicken and burger place. The guy who helped me out with my order was very nice and assistive. He made sure that my order was correct and the way I want it. He asked me the type of seasoning I want for my burger and fries, which got me to like the place more since he really cared about my order. I'll definitely be sure to come back next time for their other burgers like the Peking duck burger, which I'm dying to try.

You do have the usual peanut butter noodles and dumplings but the entrees were what I came for! Razor clam eggs: ok wow this one was realllly good. The eggs are fluffy and I think they used a good amount of wine/shaoxing to get that flavor on the eggs. Good amount of razor clams and they also include Taishan cauliflower yummy. Would definitely get this again Fuzhou style spare ribs: it's a bit like sweet and sour ribs but not as pronounced or sour, and with loads of deep fried taro too. It's a very homey FJ dish that my partner loves Dumplings: very meaty but not too much chive flavor. They're good but I'd say the cheaper FJ spots nailed the dumplings a bit more

Although not a newbie to the Chinese BBQ skewer concept, I was delighted to have my first of…read moreexperience of authentic Chinese skewers in NYC be at Foodie BBQ. Replacing the former Shanxia Snacks, which recently relocated to a spot on East Broadway, Foodie BBQ has kept the same general restaurant layout, but enhanced the interior decor with eye-catching prints of calligraphy, mostly related to food and eating, along the walls, and hanging lanterns of napkin dispensers. Otherwise, the furniture looked the same in its white basic functional aesthetic. We ordered through a QR code. Grilled fresh to order, the food came out relatively quickly. We were able to add in the comments section to make certain skewers non-spicy for our kids. Otherwise, the default included quite a lot of spiciness. My favorites were the lotus root, cauliflower, eggplant, and potato. My kids loved the chicken and mantou. The corn consisted of a bunch of kernels--not a lot of substance there. We spent over $35 pre-tax and pre-tip on a variety of meat, vegetable, and starch skewers for two adults and two toddlers, and I would say it was just enough to satiate all of us. I appreciated that there was a little self-serve area with water and pu-er tea, although the water jugs were usually empty. Service was good and quick, and the bathroom was clean. Overall, I'm thrilled that Foodie BBQ has added to the Chinese culinary diversity in our Manhattan Chinatown. I don't think there is another such BBQ skewer-focused specialist with a storefront in this neighborhood.

Note: portions for this one are especially small since well...it's finger meat. - Pineapple Beef: I do like pineapple but wouldn't order this again. - Chicken Skin - Sliced Potato - Lotus Root - Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Wings - Intestines: I think we got pork, not chicken - Zucchini - Chicken Feet in Baked Chili Pepper sauce: Really enjoyed the marinade flavor - Sugarcane Juice We ended up ordering way too much and had to box some items to go.
