How we read reviews →Box Hill's late-night Northern Chinese BBQ haunt. charcoal skewers and Xuzhou noodles until 2AM.
Thoroughly casual. stools, disposable utensils, humorous wall signs, and the smoky energy of a working charcoal grill. Loud and lively at peak hours; more relaxed late night. Bean bags and games make it unexpectedly kid-friendly for a BBQ joint open to 2AM.
Charcoal-grilled fresh-skewered meats; Melbourne's only Xuzhou-style rice noodles per loyal regulars; seasonal Harbin-style spicy tripe hot pot in winter; family-run with a warm lady boss who surprised regulars with rice balls on Lantern Festival night.
Genuine Xuzhou and Harbin-style Northern Chinese BBQ. charcoal skewers seasoned in the style regulars call 'home flavour,' and rice noodles that draw customers who grew up eating them in China. Melbourne's only Xuzhou noodles, per the community.
Very affordable. skewers individually priced at accessible rates, noodle bowls under $20, beers reasonably priced. A handful of reviewers note portion sizes on individual skewers could be more generous, but overall value is well regarded.
