Afternight BBQ - Review - Long Island City - New York - The Infatuation
"Afternight BBQ is one part of a karaoke-bbq situation in Long Island City. (Afterlife, the karaoke bar from KTV opens later.) They have around 30 different options for Chinese skewers, ranging from lamb parts to whole grilled giant squid, in addition to some stir-fries and noodle dishes." - Will Hartman
So Good!
Loved the BBQ — super tasty and full of flavor! The place was also really clean, which I really appreciate. Will definitely come back again!

I came here recently for dinner and had a great time-- so much so that I came back again in less than a week. This new Chinese skewer spot in LIC is open until 4am and is a great late night spot. You order on an iPad here and they bring the food out to you. Service is pretty quick and you can definitely do walk-in.
Because they are a newer spot, they don't have as much selection as some other skewer spots I've been to (but hopefully they'll start to offer more later!). I ordered a variety of skewers as well as their noodles and dumplings. The size of the meat pieces were really big and so the meat was juicy! The noodles were also solid and I enjoyed their dumplings. Would definitely come back more often and cannot wait to see how they continue to improve as they're open longer!

Amazing - best bbq / skewers in the neighborhood! The beef skewers and the pork belly wrapped enoki mushrooms are fantastic.
We will be back with a larger group!

I’ve been here 3 days in a row last week. No idea how, but the skewer is cooked super tender. I usually get the beef skewer, chicken cartilage, chicken hearts, and Taiwanese sausage. The only drawback backs is that food gets cold quickly, so do not order too much all in once. Be good if they have something to keep the food warm on tables.

Court Square’s most tender and flavorful skewers yet. The cabbage is uniquely amazing, too. Open 4pm-4am!

The food is so fresh and everything comes out so quick. The flavors are on point and if its not spicy enough for you they have chili powder on the table for you. The prices are amazing for the amount of food and I will be frequenting this spot especially for late night snack!

We stopped by this place at 1:20 am on a Tuesday and we could not have asked for anything better. Genuinely nice staff and amazing food. If it’s late and your hungry go here

Came here after an event with a group of 6 people. It's a very straight forward concept of late night munchie skewers.
They have a variety of skewers that you can order from a tablet. The food took quite a while for it to come. Quality of the food was great! Price-wise, you're basically expecting to pay LIC prices.
Otherwise very decent late night spot. I was told they do last call around 3am.

Highly recommend if you're craving real Chinese-style skewers! I just tried Afternight BBQ in LIC and it's definitely my new go-to for Chinese BBQ. The food is super authentic. My favorite is the beef skewers, perfectly seasoned and grilled just right. Also loved the spicy shredded potatoes and the shrimp skewers.
It's a great late-night spot and already feels like one of the hottest new places in the neighborhood. Plus, they're opening a KTV called Afterlife right next door later this month. Perfect BBQ + karaoke hangout spot!
