“ Very nice chinese bbq! Tasty and good environment! The service is also great here! You can have many lamb and beef beef, beer here. ”

“ The seating is a bit crowded, with tables placed very close to the neighbors. The BBQ food leans towards a sweeter flavor profile, which isn't to my taste. However, the atmosphere improves significantly once the singer starts performing. On the plus side, the food is served quickly after placing the order. ”

“ Good vibes and good food are to be found at this Chinese BBQ chain from Flushing NY! I enjoyed their BBQ meat skewers, as they are juicy and well-seasoned, with my favorite being the lamb skewers. Other than the meat and seafood skewers, they also have many vegetarian options including tofu skin, enoki mushrooms, eggplant, sweet potatoes, and fish tofu. I also tried their fresh milk tea which I didn't expect much from, but surprisingly flavorful and tasty! I think my only complaint regarding the food would be the eggplant, it was a bit too chewy for my liking and difficult to eat, as well as drenched in sauce so it was a bit too salty. The service can be slower as they get really busy on the weekends, but for me I didn't mind since it's a great place to just hangout with friends and family. There was live music being played when I visited (and I think Karaoke later at night), not sure if this is a common occurrence but definitely improved the vibe! Here's everything I tried: -Grilled Saury Fish ($5.50) -Squid ($2) -Lamb ($7.50) -Beef ($7.50) -Beef Tendon ($3.50) -BBQ Pork ($4) -Chicken Skewer ($4) -Cauliflower ($2) -King Oyster Mushrooms ($4.50) -BBQ Corn ($1.50) -Tofu Skin ($9) -BBQ Sweet Potato Slices ($3) -Fish Tofu ($2) -King Eggplant ($10) -Prawn ($2) -Yangzhou Fried Rice ($10) -Fresh Milk Tea ($5.50) -Strawberry Lemonade ($5.50) ”

“ Texas is known for their good BBQ so it makes sense that their Chinese BBQ scene is on par as well! I got to visit GAO's location in Houston, Texas and had my meat cravings, satisfied. Since my spice tolerance is low, I got level one spicy and the flavors were well balanced with just a kick of heat. Do not skip on their Spam fried rice! It pairs very well with the meat and vegetables skewers. Service was quick and very attentive. They checked up on me multiple times throughout the night and made sure I was well taken care of. ”

“ Nestled in Chinatown on Bellaire, Gao's Kabob is a specialty restaurant that serves Northeastern Chinese BBQ. They are only two doors down from their sister restaurant (Gao's Crab) and there's plenty of parking in this plaza itself (H-Mart and a whole lotta restaurants). The dining space is slightly crowded but there are booths and tables for groups big and small. The music is on the louder side (oh oops maybe I'm old now) and the lighting is low. Its gives off a dive bar vibe mixed with karaoke music and Asian flair. Sizzling with flavor and color! Enjoy the perfect blend of marinated meats, crunchy veggies, and savory spices, all skewered to perfection. The vibe at Gao's Kabob is fun and is great for small groups or even a solo diner! We had lots of kabobs including lamb, beef, chicken, pork belly, cauliflower, corn, bean curd, gluten, green beans, squid, shrimp, and more. The side dishes like fried rice, grilled shelled scallops, abalone, and tilapia were pretty awesome too. We enjoyed most of the food and drink we ordered but will say that a lot of the flavor comes from salt and garlic. Oh and cumin too! Their drinks were well executed and I did get to try their convenience store bartending drink....a VLT with vodka. It was interesting indeed...like a boxed iced boozy lemon tea. Who else is craving a delicious kabob today? Ordering was made easy via a QR code on each table and everything is brought out quite quickly. The cumin and garlic flavors are actually kind of addictive...though can seem a little repetitive. Try them out and let me know what you think! ”

“ Highly recommended by some friends so we stopped in on a Friday night. It was actually quite busy and we were lucky to be seated as soon as we did. Scan the qr code on the table and order food online! We tried pretty much everything- my favorites were the beef, lamb, and the kimchi fried rice! Definitely coming back! ”
