Mirror, mirror on the wall, tell me which skewer spot has the best deal of all?
If you don't know me well, I'm gonna tell you that my guilty pleasure in life are skewers. Yes little barbecued, grilled sticks of meat or veggies. My weak spot tends to fall under lamb or bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms.
Seeing that the ever popular Simon's BBQ was popping up every where I'd thought I'd give it a shot to see who grills it better. Like Mr. Grill's a block away, they also have a seating area. I got an order of BBQ beef, BBQ lamb, BBQ bacon with enoki mushroom. A few items I wanted were sold out which I was surprised since it was pretty early for skewer business. Places like these usually close at 2am or 3 even. I went around 2pm and the BBQ bacon w. chives, BBQ beef with chives and BBQ beef tendon meat ball were already sold out. The meats here were good, about the same quality as Mr. Grill's. The only thing I don't like is that they use barbecue sauce. I prefer my skewers to be simple with spices.
Honestly it comes down to your own preference, how you like your skewers. This place definitely has more options than Mr. Grill's and a bigger venue. Take your pick!
came here for dinner recently and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of bbq sticks. we had quite a few things, dinner turning out to be close to $40 for 2. bbq porkchops – pretty tasty, fried chicken – this was a miss as it was flavorless, bbq beef – pretty good, but i still like the queens cart better, bbq chicken stick – pretty tender but over doused in bbq sauce, bbq squid tentacles – decent, bbq bacon wrapped enoki – not much bacon flavor, bbq fish ball with roe – i liked this one, bbq short ribs – decent nothing crazy special but a bit chewy. just come with your own drinks because they definitely dont specialize in that area of the menu!
Been following Simon for a number of years now from the original street cart on 55th street to 49th streets #1 store. They have in my opinion the best BBQ shish kebab skews on 8th avenue.
So stopped in to try out some spicy rice cake, tofu, enoki mushroom wrapped in bacon and beef. Wow all for just $6.45!!
Was quite yummy! Plus you have waitress service at this location with seating for about 30 people. There hours are the same as the #1 store location 3 pm to 2 am daily and is $$$$$$$ cash only.
This is my favorite place for late night munchies. I always get the same stuff but it's always done/cooked perfectly! It's consistently flavored and delicious albeit unhealthy. I always get fish tofu, fishball masago, mini hot dogs, and bacon-wrapped enoki (droool).
It does take a really long time to make (unfortunately) but it's fresh.
Also sometimes it's hard to communicate with people who pick up the phone since their English isn't not that good – but it's okay, they will still get the order right.
Losing a star because sometimes around 2:30 am – even though this place supposedly closes at 3 am, they'll stop cooking at this location and ask you to go to their other location to order (49th street and 7th).
