A hectic, smoky, and authentic Northeast Chinese BBQ spot where skewers arrive fast and furious in a cumin-scented haze.
Ordering Strategy
Order in rounds—skewers cool down fast. Balance the rich meats with cold dishes like the potato salad or cold noodle soup to cut the grease.
What to order
Lamb Skewers
Cumin-rich and arriving with a hint of chilli heat; critics recommend ordering the small skewers for a pile of slender spears that come out crisp all over with the fat rendered through.
Scallops
Served on the half-shell under a nest of glass noodles, they are as high-quality as top-tier residencies elsewhere in London but for less than half the price.
Coriander-stuffed tofu skin
Called the 'most moreish thing on the menu' thanks to a 'textural double whammy' of a crisp crunch on the outside and a soft chew within.
Foil-wrapped aubergine
A vegetable dish featuring molten flesh dressed with enough minced garlic to 'fell the Prince of Darkness.'

Good to know
It's walk-in only and often has a queue. Be prepared to smell like charcoal and cumin afterwards; strict table turn times (around 90 mins) often apply.
