Shaji BBQ (沙记烧烤)
Charcoal-kissed northern Chinese skewers rarely done this well in Manhattan.
Notable Picks
8.0
A Chinese skewer BBQ outpost bringing Flushing-style chuan’r to the East Village, with smoky, cumin-laced bites that reward adventurous ordering. It’s a smaller-format, late-night-friendly spot that feels like a real neighborhood find rather than a scene.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lamb Skewers with cumin, Beef Tendon Skewers, Stinky Tofu
What makes it special: Charcoal-kissed northern Chinese skewers rarely done this well in Manhattan.
