★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I grew up with Mr.Q’s! Solid flavors. The drinks are good for the price. The fried food is crispy and savory. I’m surprised by the low reviews.It does a feel a bit too pricy when everything gets calculated and sometimes the service is bad.
August 30 · Rachael WangThe food is delicious and well seasoned. The skewers range from $1-$4 each. The noodle soup comes with meat, bok choy, tofu skin and wood ear mushrooms; it was around $7-$8 and you get to choose what kind of noodles you like. The fries didn’t come with any salt but they were hot and crunchy, we asked them for salt and it was salted well. I got the spicy beef noodle soup and lamb noodle soup, they were both so delicious and the beef especially was so tender. I got multiple bbq skewers: mini sausages, fish tofu, fried tofu, lamb, beef, something wrapped with bacon, rice cakes, short rib, shrimp, and mushroom. I recommend everything besides the fried tofu, it has a good flavor but it’s kind of tough, I prefer the fish tofu more. The fried milk is crunchy and slightly sweet, the inside is soft. I also recommend the jasmine tea drink and the Iced lemon black tea drink, you can get these drinks in the fridge. They also have a small, but clean bathroom. I recommend this place.
April 28 · Alina _Service was through a QR code for the site, and food came out pretty quickly. Everything was well seasoned and each table has more dry seasonings.
June 03 · MichelleGreat place to go grab food with your friends late at night, some of the best skewers I've had, great prices, nice small little place with a comfy, enjoyable atmosphere
March 25 · David SThis place is located on a corner in brooklyn.A really good late night bbq place. After getting my hair done for 9 hours it was 1 am so this was definitely did fill me up. The seasoning was good. The rice cake were delicious, it was crunchy and soft. They had ice rice dessert which was pleasant. I recommend getting the rice cakes.
