“ Fresh, well-marinated meat—highly recommended. However, the cold spicy chicken dish wasn’t to my liking; it was quite tough and dry. ”
“ so good! price was good and very authentic. feel like Northern Chinese BBQ and a bit fusion with Korean. I like the cold glass noodles best! ”
“ HALAL MENU!!!! Such delicious cut of meats and different protein options (duck included), price is very fair with a dish of meat and a vegetable option or lettuce/perilla leaves/Chinese pancakes it will come between 20-30 I personally loved the perilla leaves, and we had the Chinese pancakes...SO GOOD and thin, simply like a dumpling made in your hand! Side dishes with refills available (kimchi, sauces, cumin seasoning, jalapeno, garlic) Everything was delicious the service was great, there was no smoke at all! The vents were working amazing too. Definitely my go to spot for good food and hangouts! ”
“ The brisket was incredibly tender, perfectly smoked, and packed with flavor — it practically melted in my mouth. The ribs had just the right amount of char and fall-off-the-bone goodness, and the house-made BBQ sauces were a fantastic touch (especially the spicy one!). Sides like the creamy mac and cheese, tangy slaw, and cornbread were the perfect complement. Service was friendly, fast, and genuine. Our server took the time to explain the menu and make recommendations based on our taste. Whether you’re a BBQ connoisseur or just hungry for something hearty and delicious. ”
“ The BBQ food is great, lots of small dipping sauces to pair with the food. Our favourite is the northeast cold noodles with sauce and the lamb shoulder with no seasoning. We ordered the smoked intestine and it was delicious as well, not too salty so you can actually enjoy the braised/smoked flavours. Also, it's nice that they have parchment paper for the grill so that you can swap it out and always have a clean grill as you cook. ”
“ This place was amazing. The service was top-notch in every way. Everything was well explained for our first time. The quality of the meats was unbelievable. The flavor and tenderness were not what I expected. I figured for the price, it would be normal everyday quality. But I was way wrong. It was high quality. We had never even heard of thin pancakes before. But now I'm hooked for life. It's an open space but well divided to not make you feel crowded. There are many options on the menu. Great atmosphere and relaxing. This is our new favorite spot to eat. We will be back many times. Don't miss out, I m telling you you won't be disappointed. P.s. The portion plates are huge. ”
“ Definitely a hidden gem in Ottawa. The restaurant has really good, friendly service and really minimum wait time. We were here for my sister’s birthday, ordered mostly beef but they were all marinated well, super tasty! The portion here is also pretty big, we had 5 people and didn’t expect the food to be this much due to our past experience from other BBQ places in Ottawa. The restaurant’s environment was also really nice and not loud, suitable for gatherings. ”
“ North East China style self BBQ. We tried seasoned beef, lamb, pork, squid and mushrooms, all good. All meat were thinly sliced and well seasoned. Big space between tables. The bbq machine had strong power and food was cooked fast with just low fire. Service was good. But there were only two waitresses. At peak slot, they were too busy to respond timely. ”
