Reviews
The restaurant itself is clean and well maintained, with a lively atmosphere, especially in the evenings. The staff are friendly and quick with service, making sure skewers come out steadily without long waits. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and variety you get, and it’s easy to share among a group of friends.
If you go, definitely order the classic lamb skewers (a must-try), and pair them with some cold beer, which is the perfect match. It can get busy during dinner hours, so going a little earlier helps if you want a quieter experience.
Overall, Northern Chinese Barbecue delivers on both authentic taste and good service, and it’s a spot I’d recommend to anyone craving northern-style skewers.
Place looks clean. It was quite busy as the evening goes by.
We ordered 3 different dishes, beef fried rice, Singaporean noodles and beef stir fry. I found those two dishes was so salty, I told the server about the saltiness of the dishes, she abruptly say, next time when we go we will tell them that to put too much salt”! I said to myself, don’t worry we will not coming back here again.
I was shock to hear that, it wasn’t the right. Answer that I would like to hear.
Price is expensive base of the dishes we received.
8 of us went, and totalled to less than 20 bucks a person
The menu is so comprehensive it is truly surprising that they are able to do this. The restaurant is another welcoming addition to the competitive food scene in Kingston downtown area. Unlike some other restaurants, this restaurant has no hidden “Chinese only” menu. You get the same menu as what Mandarin speaking Chinese people get, which is indicative of the confidence in their dishes.
Even though the name of the restaurant is Northern Chinese Barbecue, the reality is their menu includes iconic dishes from all over China and include many items that are not barbecue related. For Chinese food aficionados, checking out their menu, which is on their website is a must before going to the restaurant, because you may spend quite awhile studying the entire menu (all 15 pages of it not including drinks).
For those of you who like to have a beer or wine with your Chinese food, for now, you are out of luck.
Choose from many fulfilling and inexpensive dishes as well as fancy and exotic dishes. Your bill may be as low as single digit or as high as three digits depending on what you order.
Service is decent, mostly college/university students, typical of other Chinese restaurants in the area, there are no cheeky uniforms, but having something classy could improve the sense of identity of the restaurant. It is obvious the restaurant is still relatively new as the interior decor is somewhat lacking and the overall atmosphere has room to improve still.
What matters most to this reviewer is , first and foremost, the taste of the dishes. While I haven’t sampled every single item on their vast menu, I can attest to the fact that the few items I did try, tasted authentic and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended whether for a quick bite during lunch or a family feast (reservation highly recommended).
I got the Double Cooked Sweet and Sour Pork, the Fish Fillet and Lamb in Hot Chili Oil, and BBQ Chicken Gristle (cartilage).
Food here was delivered in big portions. The deep fried pork was glistening with a sweet glaze and were really delicious. It was crunchy, sweet, and savoury. The hot pot had generous amounts of lamb and fish. I liked how tender the meat was and the spiciness of the soup broth. The chicken gristle was served on a skewer and dusted with cumin and other spices. They were super addicting to eat.
