ZLS BBQ

I really enjoyed this place. It a bit dingy but the owner or manager literally didn't close the shop to serve us. Definitely very mom and pop and very nice people. I believe they are authentic because when I asked if I can pack the strawberry tanghulu home for a partner to try the manager mentioned that it would melt even in freezing temperatures in dongbei china. He said that it is only served when it is super cold in china and that the ones in the US that aren't melting probably has some sort of preservatives. Any case, food was good, pork was super crispy, and the whole place felt very warm and friendly like the workers were your own uncles and cousins. Can't beat that.

Really authentic, really tasty, and very well priced lunch specials here. I love the lamb and onions, kung pao chicken, or shredded pork it a Spicy/sweet sauce with peppers and veggies (鱼香肉丝）. All of the lunch specials come in a convenient little box with everything spaced out in their own respective apartments.Every day is a surprise because of the fruit and extra vegetable you get with each order. Yesterday I received broccoli, the day before cucumbers. You also get some fruit for dessert as well! Usually watermelon or orange slices. Great deal, great food, and despite everything going up recently, great price.

Oh my god no. The meat was tough and hard - half of them were inedible and the other half were unappetizing. Walk in here for lunch. The signs outside have everything written in Chinese so I figure it's authentic. Walk in and see one table with about 4 people sitting, chatting in Mandarin. Okay, more good signs. None of them are eating, though in retrospect. Sit down, the lunch menu prices aren't bad. Around $15 for rice, entree, soup. It also comes with blueberries? Interesting. Turn around time wasn't too bad - maybe 10 minutes. Service was responsive. Hot and sour soup - nothing to write home about but the side soup at a lunch special rarely ever is. The main entree (pork in garlic sauce) also had a rather sour tasting sauce. Not personally what I prefer, but hey, again not something to complain about. I take a couple bites, the meat is tough but edible. A little disappointed, but wasn't expecting the world from a lunch special. Then I hit the first bad bite - sinewy, strange taste. I spit it out. I start to eat more carefully and find a couple more okay bites but also a couple more bad ones. At that point I couldn't really continue so just asked for the check and left.

Really good lamb skewers! My fiancé is from northern China and he said they're very authentic and really enjoyed the flavor. We're from Rockville maryland where there's a lot of Asian food and these were better than the lamb skewers at our favorite restaurant in Rockville. The restaurant has a couple of tables and also does take-out.

Four stars for service, but 5 stars for food. I'm very well versed with regard to Northeastern Chinese food and I can say that this is one of the best and most authentic I've had in NYC. We tried their skewers and specialties. I really recommend the lamb leg, lamb skewer, squid skewer and garlic cucumber. Everything they make is tasty and authentic. The spice mix was just right for all the dishes. I removed a star because the service is very VERY slow and inefficient here as they appear to be understaffed. They also have a popular takeout clientele and they have a bell to alert that the delivery personnel is here, which is a bit annoying to hear every five minutes. Their alcohol and drink selection is also a bit unsatisfactory. Overall, I'd say to come here for the food, and bear with the service! I'll definitely come back to try other items of their menu.

I got chicken hearts and cumin lamb lunch special. Order came with a drink too and was around 19 in the end. The lamb was really good (perfect crisp and perfect flavors, couldn't imagine it any better for the price). I didn't love the chicken hearts personally. Overall pretty fast and pretty good, couldn't call in advance to order though

Best Chinese bbq place I've had in NYC so far!! And best bbq takeout. All skewers were wrapped nicely. Portions were great. Everything tasted great I really can't complain! The oyster, lamb skewers, lamb kidneys, beef wrapped shiitake mushrooms skewers were def recommended. 第一次吃中街大串没想到是通过外卖。老板人特别好还专程给我打电话提醒我有满赠活动。订了一大堆东西都很好吃。就海瓜子几乎没��沙这一样我就可以打满分。生蚝是满赠的，又肥又入味。茄子稍微小点吧但味道也很好。羊腰子满分一点不腥。基本的牛羊肉串也中规中矩味道合适。一定要说的话鸡皮稍微差点，选的鸡皮太肥撒的调料略甜。鱿鱼须啊青椒啊都很好。他们家菜式很多下次还会更多尝试别的菜。

謝謝老闆和服務生大帥哥的熱情招待。The service and the food is the best specially the desert. 鍋包肉是我吃過最好吃的，多謝老闆的強烈推薦。好想念國內的糯玉米大豆角炸臭豆腐尤其是老闆送的糖葫蘆，太過癮了

My husband discovered this place with a coworker and finally took me to try it. They have the northern style bbq skewers we were craving. They also have a variety of menu items from oyster, scallop, fish, noodles, and more! We ordered a bunch of dishes and left full and satisfied. We will come back for sure. I highly recommend.

Usually loved this place. Its been shut down for weeks now. Gate finally opened and the store front glass is full of black smog. I think something burned down in there.
