"This big, bright AYCE fusion spot in Chinatown specializes in Dongbei-style BBQ. This place is a little silly and a lot of fun: you’ll find robot servers, and ridiculous add-ons like a ferris wheel full of ingredients, and a raw meat cake which sounds terrifying but we promise is kind of cute. As far as the food goes, the BBQ is similar to Korean, but the marinade doesn’t include doenjang, so it’s a little lighter. Plus, Jiang Niu’s long menu also has options to throw on the gas grill—like enoki mushrooms, sweet potato, lettuces, and pineapple to name a few. Everything comes with suggested cook times, so you don’t have to worry about the structural integrity of your cabbage." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
