"This restaurant might get overlooked in the Intown Plaza, also home to Pupuseria Mi Tierra and Spicy Gaga Duck. However, Beijing Kabobs is where to head for dumplings late into the evening on Buford Highway. Try an order of the sour cabbage dumplings, pork and leek dumplings, or lamb and green onion dumplings. Dumplings come by the dozen here." - Eater Staff

I noticed this restaurant on ChowBus and when I saw it was close, we took a drive. It’s in a little complex. Only one or two other people were in there when we went - and the woman taking orders didn’t speak much English but the menu is straightforward and we were able to easily order. The hot and sour soup is enough for 4 people. It is a very mild hot and sour being neither hot nor sour - but vinegar, chili oil, and five spice are provided at the table which we appreciated. The soup wound up being delicious and I appreciated the ability to tweak to my preferences. The kebabs come in two forms - one via charcoal grilled skewer and the other with the ingredients dropped into a hot chili based soup broth. We enjoyed all of it. I think my only real complaint was that nothing hot and spicy in description was hot or spicy. Overall a good experience!

Very authentic homemade style Chinese food. Great dumpling, cool dish(pig ear, potato slice, seawead), lamp soup, hot pot and “hot & spicy string class”. Friendly service. Regularly visit once a week.

Everything I had was delicious. This was the most authentic, hole in the wall hidden gem. Real northern Chinese food. I had the lamb skewers, fish ball skewers, mushrooms, potatoes and the beef and scallion dumplings. I’ll be back soon for more.

My girlfriend and I was looking for a dish called malatang and came across Beijing Kabob. Their food is definitely authentic representing where they are from. I personally love the pork intestine and my girlfriend always get the malatang. The malatang is the chinese version so it may be little more oily and have a different taste than the korean version. This time around my girlfriend and I wanted to try the kabob. It was good. I never got the hotpot every time I went but willing to try their traditional chinese hotpot style. I recommend coming here atleast once.

This restaurant is great! Would highly recommend the hotpot because it’s not spicy and keeps all the flavors of the food itself. They used the copper-made pot heated by coal, which is a very authentic way of cooking and it’s not super common to see in the U.S. The owner is great and make us feel like home.

I've been coming here for years. IF you're cool with authentic home-style northern Chinese cuisine, this place is awesome. One of the few places you can get a satisfying meal for under $6. If you're looking for American-Chinese take-out, this place is not for you. I always get their malatang, where you can choose up to 10 ingredients. Their dumplings, stick meats, noodle dishes are also pretty solid. The boss lady is very friendly and accommodating. Be patient as they speak limited English, which can come across as rude. But not the case at all!

Even though we have to drive more than 10 hrs to be there, we are still want to do it and enjoying the food every time.

Some parking right by the restaurant. There are a lot of little shops and restaurants so it does get filled up pretty quickly. Too be fair, I only tried one dish this time. Lamb kabobs: made per order, the meat was good chunk sizes. Flavoring was a bit off, would have preferred if it had more seasoning. Not the cleanest on the inside. I can see from other comments how the owners might come off as rude or too nosy. If you speak Chinese, you will have an easier time ordering. I did overhear the owner telling another customer how they are improving their meat buns to be more health conscious - less salt and less oil. So might be worth a try.

Great authentic Northern Chinese-style restaurant. This place can definitely be a bit hard to navigate if you don't speak the language. We thoroughly enjoyed the lamb skewers (tasted just like the ones I've had at street stalls in China), jian bing (the best Chinese breakfast food), small pork dumplings (these have thicker skin and no soup inside), and fish ball skewers (these were a bit dry so I wouldn't recommend). We also got the garlic eggplant 鱼香茄子 and twice cooked pork 回锅肉 to go for dinner. The dishes were all flavorful and very authentic. The restaurant owners were quite nice and would come to check in one us a couple of times. Would recommend checking this place out if you're missing Northern Chinese food! lamb skewers fishball skewers jian bing

Late night Sunday Chinese comfort food craving? Be like us and check out this spot. It was YUMMY. You order from a sheet, marking off the items you want. It's a little tough to navigate the menu but worth it to kinda just go for it. We ended up with a rich brothy soup filled with winter melon, lamb, mushrooms and lamb kabobs in the soup. Also the wonton soup was amazing, with delicate pork dumplings - plenty for two; a huge portion. Sour cabbage dumplings - epic. Add the vinegar. Shrimp dumplings - yummm. Add the vinegar. Steamed pork buns - yummm. Just eat everything on the menu, I swear. We had ordered something with eggplant, though, and some unidentifiable, but delicious dish arrived. We later found out it was chicken, and figured the matriarch had just decided what was best for us. That's pretty typical in similar Buford highway spots, I've found. And it doesn't bother us... she was attentive and efficient, and advised us a little even with limited English. Dumplings that good don't need fine dining service. They just need a willing tummy and like $30. We can't wait to go back and check out the things we didn't order this time! Try it out - you won't be disappointed. Let's not forget that this is a tiny ethnic spot that isn't fancy, doesn't try to be, and isn't decorated well, carefully, or without a fly tape in the corner. Embrace it - it's not that serious and the food is solid.

You can find Bei Jing Kabobs at 5090 Buford Hwy NE, Ste 103, Doraville, GA 30340 in the Intown Plaza shopping center. This plaza is also home to the very good Temp Doeloe (check that review) and China Hot Pot (aka Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot). The parking for this plaza is pretty tight but depending on your arrival time you should be able to find a space - might be a good idea to carpool just in case. This was one of the weekly meetings of my Buford Highway Clawr group - the place is fairly simple with limited seating. You order from a sheet (seems a popular thing to do in this plaza) and the kabobs are pretty inexpensive - mostly a dollar or two (one exception is the Ox Penis at $5). If you haven't had this style of kabob, you get little bits of meat on skewers similar to yakitori - of course I'm not a big fan of this Chinese version - there's just so little meat on each skewer and you don't get the benefit of the special charcoals imbuing the meats with interesting flavors like Japanese yakitori. They do have grilled corn-on-the-cob which is always a favorite. Service here is very straightforward - seems like they don't quite know what to do with most Americans. For my money and to get very similar food, I'd go down the street to the Korean-owned Kochi Maru - you get more meat (pieces are larger) and get to cook it yourself over real charcoal (they also have beer!).

Our favorite place to eat on Buford. Authentic and delicious, Beijing Kabobs never fails to provide us with a meal that makes us feel at home. We always get the CHAO BING (English: Fried Cake), which is unbelievably delicious. Seriously, you HAVE to try it!!! Pig ear is another dish we love, and of course, we never skip out on lamb and corn skewers. Don't skip out on this place!

Lily S.

Yelp
Not sure about what the fuss is about- perhaps the popularity come from a lack of experience of "real" Chinese kabobs. Hair flips. The owner is rude and bluntly opinionated. I got the lamb dumplings (very good, homemade with juicy fillings), 煎饼果子 (not good at all and frankly only took a bite), lamb skewers (not memorable and skinny meat), chicken heart (tough ), fish tofu (very dry also)...

Beijing Kabobs offers a lot of traditional Beijing dishes and they constantly put out new Chinese dishes from around the country. That being said, the staff (and Auntie managing the front of the restaurant) almost exclusively converse in Chinese making it a bit more challenging for those that might struggle in that department. However do not despair; they do offer most of their menu loosely translated in English. I highly recommend dining here with an experienced speaker and familiar with the cuisine. The Auntie takes care of you as if you were eating in her home and will spend the time getting to know you. She's definitely a Chinese Chatty Cathy! Having dined here for years during college and visiting now and then afterwards, I definitely enjoy the experience. The Cold Pig Ears (猪耳朵) dish was fragrant, spicy, and had a generous topping of cilantro (to my liking). Their dill dumplings (茴香饺子) also tasted delicious. But this establishment falls short in a couple ways: 1) Some dishes were not quite authentic...for example the Xinjiang noodles (新疆拉条子) and Lu Zhu (卤煮 - a Beijing pot with organ meats) lacked the right flavors but were still tasty. 2) Meat skewers are a bit shabby. For skewers that cost $1/$2, the amount of lamb meat is relatively little. We also got the Chicken Gizzard (Jane), and it was too dry and charred. Honestly a hit or miss, but this is one of the only places that offers chicken heart skewers. Perhaps it's the nostalgia, but this establishment offers food selections that still makes me want to come back. I hope you can enjoy this place like I have for one of my Buford Hwy stops. If you'd like to check out other places on Buford Hwy like this, Northern China Eatery and Chef Liu's offers similar selections. Happy eating!

Ordered a variety of kabobs (lamb, beef, fish tofu, chicken heart, lamb tendon), the ones in the spicy broth (lamb, quail egg, noodles, etc etc), steamed buns and lamb noodle soup. For the kabobs at around $1 for the amount you get, I could eat about 100 of them. Although tasty with my favorite being the lamb, it can get pricey. The selection in the spicy broth was probably the best dish. I liked the noodles way better than the noodles in the lamb soup. The lamb soup was flavorless. The buns were were average with the insides being dry.

We ordered kabobs (lamb, beef) and Mala Tang. Their quality was just so bad. The meat was very dry and flavorless. Wouldn't come back

This is REAL beijingers' food! We originally wanted to find a place after karaoke, which was already midnight. I STRONGLY recommend this place, and will appreciate my decision forever!!! We ended up ordering a lot of food but we finished all of them! Can't wait to try all kinds of food including Zhajiangmian (black sauce noodles) and Yangtang (lamb soup)!

I needed a handful of low-carb something for an afternoon snack one day. On a complete and total whim, I stopped in, and I'm very glad I did. (Thank you, Yelp App!) I speak no Chinese languages. The fellow who served me only seemed to know four English phrases: "Beef, Lamb, Chicken, and Thank you." So that's what I ordered. Not long after, he came out from the kitchen with a plateful of skewers. Delicately cooked Kabobs. Flavorful lamb, charcoal grilled beef, and chicken. The kabobs were spiced with some wicked-looking-red stuff. Still, they were not too hot. The spice was right. I enjoyed all three meats. I could not pick a favorite between the lamb and the beef. Both were delicious. There are other exotic things on the menu. Hot pots, charcoal grilled items, steamed dumplings, pork buns, noodles / noodle soups, and what appears to be a wide variety of menu items written in Chinese on the walls. I want to know what a "Hot & Spicy String Class" is. Holler if you're joining me to go find out.

Not sure how new this rule is but now they require you order at least 12 items if you order any of the "steamed" kabobs (aka $.50 kabobs). I tried the green bean, asparagus, shiitake, cauliflower, wood ear, and yu choy - all of the steamed kabobs arrive in a bowl of spicy broth that also had a perfume-y flavor to it. The veggies were ok but I wasn't a huge fan of the broth. I'm more about the grilled kabobs which are $1-2 each. My favorites are the lamb, fish tofu, and corn. This time I requested "a little spicy" for the corn b/c I had such a hard time eating it last time - and it was perfect :) Another new favorite is their Dumplings ($5.50) - I highly recommend getting one order of the steamed dumplings w/ shrimp, chives, and egg. Yum. Also tried their Wheat Cakes for the first time - both the "salty" version and "sweet" version. Both are dense-like breads, where the salty version is covered w/ sesame seeds, and the sweet version is filled with red bean paste. I think they're fried too b/c the outside was slightly greasy. I did like the texture but probably could do w/o the extra carbs :) Overall love this place b/c I love kabobs, and I love that it's so inexpensive. FYI - the cashier is very nice but her English is difficult to understand.

Te Wei Chinese Kabobs opened last October in the same shopping center as Quickly. It reminds me of a bright, colorful restaurant you'd see on the street in Asia. Te Wei specializes in northeast Chinese cuisine - specifically, kabobs. It's sort of like a newer and trendier Delicious Kabob (kabob restaurant nearby that closed within the past 1 to 2 years). The kabobs are cooked Sichuan style. If it's your first time, the owner is more than happy to walk you through the ordering process. You're given a pen and clipboard with a paper menu clipped in. You write down the quantity of kabobs and other food items you want onto the menu, similar to ordering sushi a la carte. They offer a variety of kabobs including meat kabobs, vegetable kabobs, and seafood kabobs. Each range in price from 50 cents to $2.00. They also have small cold appetizer plates and special entrees from $2.50 to $5.50. The more interesting kabobs include chicken heart, chicken "Jane" (stomach we were told), and "lunch meat..." Wow. Items I tried off the menu: Beef kabob Sausage kabob Squid kabob Tofu kabob Chicken heart kabob Chicken Jane kabob Bamboo root kabob Fish tofu kabob Wood ears (fungus) kabob Winter melon kabob Yu choy kabob Spicy sliced beef appetizer Special Chinese dough entree The kabobs were spicy, salty, and oily. Similar to Tasty China, Te Wei makes use of Sichuan peppercorns in their cooking, so you get not only the spicy sensation, but a numbing sensation as well. I love it. The kabobs are served in both a metal container and on styrofoam plates. The bottom of the metal container has a lot of sauce and oil from all the kabobs. The sausage kabob tasted almost like hot dog. The fish tofu kabob has fish inside of the tofu pieces (this kabob was featured in Creative Loafing's "100 Dishes to Eat in Atlanta Before You Die" released last week). The chicken heart and chicken Jane kabobs were small, chewy, and rubbery. The wood ears were fluffy. The winter melon and yu choy kabobs were basically those vegetables stir-fried and stuck on a stick. The beef kabob was probably the best tasting of the lot. However, my favorite dish was not any of the kabobs, but the spicy sliced beef. This is something you can also order at Tasty China and Gu's Bistro (as well as previously Cafe 101) up the street. They are cold, thin slices of marinated beef in a spicy Sichuan oil. Delicious! The special Chinese dough entree was written into the menu in Chinese characters. I have no idea what you call it. I think the owner pronounced it "hua jin" - she said one of the words means "twin." I didn't like it too much. It was just dough wrapped together with a few spring onion slices inside. Not flavorful at all. Also note they do not serve rice here. The restaurant itself is small, brightly lit, and clean. They have flatscreens on either wall playing recorded Chinese variety shows. Some of the tabletops are glass so you can see right down to the floor. Te Wei is a unique Chinese restaurant to Atlanta. Know what you're coming here for (kabobs), otherwise you may leave feeling unsatisfied or still hungry, even if you do order a lot of kabobs.

Okay, I've been here before in 2011 and again recently, few days ago. Very small store located in the same plaza as Quickly off Buford Hwy. I believe they changed their name as well from Te Wei to BEIJING Kabobs. I always end up getting kebobs. Different meat you can choose that comes on a skewer. All of them have the same spice seasoning. They're grilled and it tastes okay- some too salty. I really want to try something else, but I guess I'd have to go with someone who knows what to order. As for now, nothing special about this place. My only concern about this place is that they don't make an effort to cater towards a bigger audience than Chinese. I could tell from the pictures hung up around the store-- all in Chinese writing. Although their menu is in both English and Chinese-- when asking the server or whomever is working, they don't know how to explain what certain items are such as my question in regards to the Chicken Jane kebob. Not very helpful if you want to put it that way. I'm just lost when it comes to ordering at this place. I'm definitely coming back to try other things on the menu and giving it a third try, one day.

The menu will say Bei ling Kabobs Te Wei is Chinese and could almost be call it a snack shop and is located next door to Quickly on Buford Highway . The menu is very basic you find what you like and fill in how many you would want of that item , kind of like ordering sushi . The menu has five different lists : Entree's - This will include buns , dumplings , soups and noodles . Cold Dishes - Salads , edamame , tripe . Charcoal bake - Grilled meats , fish ball , corn . Pan fried - meats and fish . Hot & Spicy String class - served with a spicy broth . Steamed Pork Buns , come out in a bamboo steamer and have eight per order . Finally decided to order these and glad I did they were worth the trip over here . Charcoaled , are given a generous dose of seasoning and grilled . The meats stay tender and has tons of flavor try the chicken , corn and lamb . Hot & Spicy , all of these Items are on skewers and will come with a bowl of spicy broth . The skewers are are 60 cents a piece so the possibilities are endless .

I cant vouch for food, only service. I wouldnt attempt another visit 1. We entered on Labor Day evening right after another couple. Server looked at us with disdain when we entered . We gestured to where we wanted to sit, asked if okay. She barely nodded. No greeting. 2. We had to ask for a menu. She never came to the table unless we asked her. No silverware or water or anything brought over; basically being ignored. 3. When we asked where kabobs were on menu she gestured awkwardly to top of menu. 4. We waited about a total of 10 minutes and decided to leave because we felt unwanted. 5. As we left, noticed that the other couple who had come in before us had also not been waited on. As we got to our car, they were also leaving for their own car. My date and I and the other couple are all Black. The whole thing felt racially motivated.

This is my third visit, and this time I decided to bring my mom and two siblings to visit. It was a weeknight so it was not as packed as I have seen it on the weekends. We ordered: 夫妻肺片,酸辣粉丝,quite a few kabobs, red bean and sesame bun, and a Szechuan stir fry and ordered another 夫妻肺片 as a to-go order. My mom's go-to order at every Chinese restaurant is 夫妻肺片, and we have tried it at so many different places that I have lost count. However, this restaurant has one of the best versions we have tried in Atlanta. Theirs has a hint of cumin and some additional spices that makes theirs better than the others. We loved it so much that we ordered one to go. However, when we opened up the to go box, it looked and tasted nothing like we had ordered in the restaurant. We were highly disappointed, my mom feels that they were dishonest (hence docking a star). Definitely take a look at your order before you head out the door! We really enjoyed the 酸辣粉丝 (sour/spicy noodles) and the dishes, they had just enough of a kick/heat. We found the stir fry to be a little too salty. I will definitely back, but not sure if my mom will be. Happy eating!

I've been coming here for years. If you're looking for American-Chinese takeout, this place is probably not for you. You can stop reading now and try your luck on Atlanta's very dismal takeout scene (yes, American-Chinese takeout is a cuisine in its own right). But if you mess with authentic home-style northern Chinese cuisine, this place is awesome. One of the few places you can get a satisfying meal for under $6. Come with 2+ people to try several dishes and still have a bill under $10. I always get their malatang, where you can choose up to 10 ingredients. Their dumplings, stick meats, noodle dishes are also pretty solid. The boss lady is very friendly and accommodating. Be patient as they have limited English, which can come across as rude. But not the case at all!

This restaurant used to be called Tei-Wei now changed the name to Bei Jing Kabobs. In fact, the main billboard at the entrance of this strip mall, lits tei wei as restuarant. Only on entering you notice there is no tei wei, instead you have Bei jing kabobs. Bei Jing Kabobs is a small restaurant with about six small tables that can seat 4 petite person each. It's situated in the same strip mall as Quickly's. On entering(I went there with my boyfriend) we noticed that everyone dining there seem to be quite young(teens and under 30). The waitress quickly had us seated and gave two papers of printed menu. So this is how it works. There are several sections in their tabulated menu, 1) Charcoal grilled skewers 2) pan-fried skeweres 3) Items you can add to skewers(Customize) 4) Entrees items - Buns, dumplings, Noodles, noodle soups , rices and rolls. 5) Cold -dishes 6) Soup specials 7) Hot pots 8) beverages and beers You basically have to write how many you want of each item in the quantity column. If you don't want something, you just leave the qty column blank. Very much like how we order sushi. We ordered, 1) Lamb, beef, chicken, chicken jane(we were told it's chicken gizzard), fish tofu and squid skewers. 2) Steam pork buns 3) Spicy sliced beef(cold dish) 4) Small lamb soup. Even though we enjoyed all skewers, our favorites were chicken jane, squid and chicken - in that order. I loved the texture and taste of the chicken jane. And the seasoning on these skewers were super spicy and appealed to my Indian palate. Also, the spicy-sweet sauce on the squid was a perfection. Fish-tofu was also delicious though we thought beef skewer was dry. The spicy sliced beef was tender and juicy, served with cilantro leaves on top. It was just not that spicy as the name suggests, in fact it was more salty than spicy. But we liked the beef-cilantro combo. Steam pork buns was a ok dish, there was simply not enough meat inside and also we thought the flavor of the meat was bit off. We can tell it was not the freshest item in the menu. Also, we didn't like the lamb soup at all. The tiny bits of lamb bits inside the soup was tasty enough but the soup tasted very much buttery in not so good way. We were glad we only ordered a small soup. Service was generally quick at this place but that's about it. Overall, We liked skewers here very much but other items are more of a miss. Fellow yelpers recommend kochi maru compared to this place, you may want to heed to their wisdom. 3 stars

If you mention Te Wei's lamb kabobs to me, there is a 100% chance that my mouth will start watering. There are a myriad of choices when it comes to kabobs, ranging from beef and tofu to shrimp and chicken gizzards (called Chicken Jane on the menu, I believe). Since the grilled kabobs are $1 a piece (except for the ox penis, those are $5 each.. for good reason, I suppose), I would recommend the lamb kabobs as being the most worthy of your money. And make sure to eat them right when they come out because the gamey texture blended with the cumin spices will undoubtedly taste the best when the kabobs are hot. The lamb noodle soup is another personal favorite, mainly because it's so simple yet wonderfully comforting. It contains noodles, bok choy, and lamb, all in a delicious broth. Not to mention Quickly's is right next door, so you can save the trip for dessert. :)

Really great food and the lady is really sweet. There is a language barrier hence why the food is really authentic and traditional.

Terrell D. and I went to Te Wei for lunch to scratch off another item from Creative Loafing's Top 100 ATL dishes. I like their ordering system which consists of you marking the # of items that you want from their menu which is handed to you on a clipboard. This meal was the least Chinese tasting of all of the Chinese meals I've had. This is not a negative. It's just an observation and a function of the type of food (kebabs) that they serve. We tried several meat kebabs, non-meat kebabs, and non-kebabs. For the meat kebabs, we tried chicken, beef, lamb, and fish tofu kebabs. The fish tofu kebabs, which I liked the best, are on CL's Top 100. They had a delightfully crunchy outside and a soft inside with a subtle seafood flavor finished off with a slight kick. I thought the other meats were ok. They were all covered with the same seasoning which provided just a tiny kick. I didn't think they were spicy. The fish tofu kebabs are worth going back for. We tried the bitter melon and snap beans for our non-meat kebabs. They are served in bowl of hot oily and chili goodness. The cost of each of these kebabs was $0.60. Fairly cheap on the surface, but you're only getting 3 slices of bitter melon and 4 snap beans. The sauce makes these kebabs what they are. The twisted cruller and wheat cake were our non-kebab orders. The twisted cruller was not very crunchy or sweet. The wheat cake was like all other wheat cakes (bland by itself) but was good when used as a sponge to soak up the hot oily and chili goodness for our non-meat kebabs. Of the items we ordered, only the fish tofu is a "must order." I recommend ordering some of their non-kebab items to help fill you up. While the meat kebabs are cheap (average around $1 each), they are on the smaller side and it could take quite a few of them to fill you up if you're hungry.

Taking a hint from a recent review in Creative Loafing, I decided to visit Buford Highway without a Daniel B. Guest Pass and give Te Wei a try. The restaurant itself was serviceable but nothing fancy - a few tables and chairs, and a lot of white walls with a huge TV showing an Asian movie I probably inappropriately laughed at. The young lady at the counter was very nice and I was able to fill out my order form quickly and easily. I ordered the chicken, lamb, beef, Chinese sausage (hot dog), and corn on skewers and the pork steamed buns - all to go. Everything was packaged nicely and still hot (not just warm) when I got home. I enjoyed everything I ate. The corn wasn't very spicy to me, but grilled corn is the business and I loved it. The beef, chicken, and lamb were the spiciest of my items and all were very yummy and delicious. I also enjoyed the pork steamed buns - the pork filing was great and the dipping sauce really made the flavor party happen. If I lived in this area, I would definitely come here often for dinner - good protein and veggies in smaller servings are usually what I'm looking for in the evening and this place has that in abundance. And if I'm in the neighborhood, I'll probably stop by just to get that grilled corn because I don't think even my George Foreman grill could do a better job.

Very Different and unique. Never been to a chinese rest. that didn't have rice. If it did I didn't see any. The one girl that served us spoke less english than I speak Spanish. This place is what I would imagine a very trendy cafe in China would be like. You order like ordering from a sushi menu. Each item is from .50 to $2.00 so if you wanted just a snack its pretty cool. The soups were great and the dumplings were fresh and made on site. Everything was enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this place. Situated next to the bubble tea mainstay Quickly, this place seems to be in a pretty good location. The items on the left side of the ordering menu are the fire-grilled and the skillet-grilled items (top left fire-grilled, middle left skillet-grilled) proteins (1-2 dollars) which I will detail in the next paragraph. The two columns in the middle and the right are boiled in a spicy broth (50 cents to 1 dollar). Vegetables (mushrooms... broccoli....cilantro...napa...etc...), tofu, fish tofu, tofu skins, and a few proteins dominate this side of the menu. For the middle and left columns, you have to order 12 of them to get the bowl of skewers that comes out (buy 12, get 2 free). So we got a bowl of 12 skewers that cost 5 dollars. Pretty good deal... In addition to the bowl of vegetables and tofus... The left side of the menu has all sorts of protein ranging from beef, chicken, lamb, lamb kidneys, chicken jane??? (not quite sure what this is)... fish balls, fish tofu, tofu, corn (not a protein...but delicious when fire-grilled), squid, shrimp... all sorts of goodies... We ordered a bunch of lamb kabobs, some beef, some fish balls, fish tofu, squid, corn, and they were really good. Reminds me of street food in Asia......and they bring out this sesame garlic sauce that we pour into our bowls and dip the skewers in that was pretty good. They have xiao long bao (soup dumplings) and other "small eats" (xiao chi) items on the bottom of the menu that might be worth trying. I have two complaints about this place... one is... be careful about the splinters on some of the skewers... and the other is... maybe a little bit more variety with the flavoring...spices... dipping sauces could lend a hand to a better experience. As I was downing skewers... I felt like the same taste buds were being stimulated. Maybe a sweet sauce... a cooling sauce (yogurty) or a mint chutney type of sauce... could make this place even better. Anyways, I'm rooting for this place. It's pretty small and may get overwhelmed with too many customers... but it's definitely the first of its kind that I've seen in Atlanta... so simple concept... cheap eats... Check out the pics!

Over the past year, I've probably been here a dozen times and it never disappoints. It's always the same woman serving. She's pretty nice, but doesn't seem to speak the best English. The menu is fairly self-explanatory though. You put down how many of what you want in the box, and she'll take the menu from you and place your order in the kitchen. I've had the following Lamb Kabob Beef Kabob Chicken Kabob Squid Kabob Hot & Spicy String Class Spicy Stewed Beef & Tripe Steam Pork Buns Steamed Dumplings Szechuan Fish Hot Pot Hot & Spicy Hot Pot Lamb Soup I believe that's it... The Kabob's are all pretty good. Beef and Lamb being my favorites. The chicken wasn't anything special. Hot & Spicy String Class is pretty much just a spicy broth and you add whatever you want into it. I wouldn't bother adding any meat; they are just kabobs stuck in there. Usually I go for Noodles (duh), seaweed, tofu, bean skin, beef tripe. It's really, really good and not crazy spicy. The Spicy Stewed Beef & Tripe is a cold sliced beef dish with cliantro. It's one of my favorites and I couldn't recommend it more. The lamb soup and szechuan fish hot pot are also some of my favorites. The Szeuchuan fish is usually always ordered. The steamed dumplings and pork buns weren't too bad, but nothing mind blowing. Though I usually do order one of them too. Service is ok I guess. Again, she doesn't speak the best of english but fairly nice.

The food is amazing but PLEASE have someone to speak English. This is my third time and I have to use google translator every single time

This place is my second fave for kabobs! Since Kabobs House opened near pleasant hill Rd, it has become my favorite due to all the decor and ambience. BJ Kabobs is simple, no additional waiters, only two workers at the place. The owner is ok and could get snappy at her husband the chef in the back. But you're the customer so your job is to enjoy the food, which is really good no matter what you choose in general. Their cold dishes are good too; my fave is the seaweed salad...yumm :) On a side note, I might be biased just because I love and enjoy kabobs so much! Hence the 5 stars despite imperfections of the place :)

Deserves your support! Authentic dumplings and kebabs. Similar to what I had in Xinjiang and very respectable for bu-hi. Hits the spot!

This place rules. Do your research before you go there. The lamb, beef, chicken and fish ball kabobs rule. The chicken Jane isn't my thing. The lamb soup is very good, but the most interesting dish allows you to choose ten items in a dark, reddish, oily black broth. It's a really cool concept, and it's delicious. Not sure what it's called, but it is the lower portion of the menu. If you want to try something a little more out there, I totally recommend this spot!

I will give zero star if I could. Never will go back again!!! They recycle the stick and wash it and serve to next customer. Lamb soup is heavily loaded with MSG. Lamb kidney taste so dry and probably made with pork liver. I believe they add MSG to everything. Food is not fresh at all. Owner is not friendly and looks creepy

Fair price and food! At least better than kochi Maru since you have to order a lot to cook your own there now.

The owner of this place is very, very rude. She's also the one that acts as the waitress. I went here with some friends and we ordered a lot of food, so we weren't keeping track of what we ordered by the time it came out. We just ate what they placed on our table, which is pretty normal right? But then the lady owner comes at the end of the meal and says we ate food that we didn't order. We told her that we just ate what was place on our table, and she proceed to first get angry with us, and then go to the small kitchen in the back and curse out the cook at the top of her lungs. Well, we ended up having to pay for food we didn't order, and pay for food that we ordered but may or may not have gotten...NEVER going there again. Apparently if you're from Hubei, the same part that the lady owner is from, she'll be friendly though. tl;dr Rude Owner/Waitress that yelled at us and the cook. Gave us food we didn't order and made us pay for it. Don't go unless you are from Hubei.

We also found this place while making a stop at Quickly. I also got 3 kabobs- lamb, beef, and fishball. They were all decently tasty, though it would've been nice if there were a bit more meat on the skewers. Also, the flavoring (red pepper flakes and a salty sauce) they brushed onto all the skewers were exactly the same. I think some variety in their sauces would definitely help. The lady taking the orders was very friendly and helpful. I saw an older man chowing down on a steamer full of XLBs....I wonder if they were any good. Next time, I'll find out...if the wifey lets me. :-) Give this place a shot- don't expect fine dining. But do expect lots of meat. :) My kind of dining. Make sure you have cash- they've got credit card stickers on the doors and cash registers....but evidently they're not ready for that yet.... heh.

I came here for lunch, but did not end up feeling satisfied. fish tofu kabob- this was tasty. but I recognized the fish tofu as something I'd bought at H-mart. 3 pieces for $2 here when I can buy a pack of 12 for about $3 at H-mart. But they are tasty (the fish tofu itself, not necessary the way it was grilled). My co-worker got some other kabobs- got a taste of the sausage aka hot dog (and the cheap kind at that). I feel like all of their kabobs are flavored the same way, regardless of whether it's meat, fish product, or sausage... That doesn't seem quite right. wonton soup- this was ok. The filling was good, and the wontons were well-made. My only issue is that the soup had no flavor. It tasted like hot water with a touch of soy sauce. I like a stronger broth with my wontons. At least that's what I'm used to. . fu qi fei pian (husband & wife spicy beef & stomach slices)- it was not flavorful or that spicy. but it had tons of cilantro on it, which I don't like. I'd much prefer this dish at other Sichuan joints in town (Gu's, Tasty China, etc). I might come back for a snack. But not the ideal place for lunch. And to be honest, I think the fried snacks over at Quickly are better (or maybe I'm just more partial to fried goods. haha).

If you're looking for something different in the world of Chinese cuisine, definitely try out Te Wei Kabobs. You're not going to find any General Tso's or Kung Pao Chicken here. This place can be a little intimidating and confusing at first since the staff's English is pretty poor. So the way the ordering works is they give you a 2 page inventory checklist of the items you can order, similar to how some japanese restaurants allow you to select how many of each type of sushi or sashimi you want. I definitely recommend trying a variety of items the first time you are here to figure out what you like and what you don't like. There is really only one type of spice that they use on their kabobs and it's fairly spicy. So definitely tell them mild if you're not a fan of too much spice. My favorite skewers in order: - lamb - fish tofu - corn - beef - chicken wings - chicken I've tried a few of the non-skewers items like the dumplings which are good - not the best, but not the worst.

It's pricey compared to similar restaurants. The worst part was the owner was particularly nosey. She would comment on your personal life forever and you will be like " yo I just wanna have some quite lunch by myself and why the F did I pay to get into this lecture of true meaning of marriage and love?" The flavor was generally fine but last time I was there, the potato chip was completely raw. It tasted like raw potatoes and was not cooked at all. Probably because the chef was distracted by his loud vocal and knows it all business partner.

This must be the most Chinese place I've been to. Nobody here spoke English well. I asked the lady to explain some things on the menu. And she looked flustered. She tried her best to explain everything in Chinese and English. Luckily, my 1 year of Chinese at college helped. All she did was just read the English translations on the menu. So we had no idea what some of the items were. Oh well, we just had to be adventurous and try them out ourselves. Te Wei Chinese Kabobs serves... kabobs, who would've thought? They also serve other Chinese snack items like dumplings. The kabobs come in two styles: grilled or in a chili soup. The chili soup kabobs are cheaper. They are only 60 cents each. And if you get 10, it's $5. The translations for the kabobs looked like direct translation of the Chinese characters. For example, there were Chicken Jane and Wood Ears. Since we were in an adventurous mood, we decided to take advantage of the 10 for $5 deal and try some Chicken Jane and some Wood Ears. We also ordered Tofu Fish, Lamb, Chrysanthemum, quail eggs, noodles, and others. Our dish came out with a huge bowl of Chili broth with the kabobs inside it. The kabobs looked tiny. No wonder they were only 60 cents. I think you would need to order about 20 kabobs to be satisfied. The Chicken Jane is actually your everyday chicken gizzard. In the chili broth, they have decent flavor. And like all chicken gizzards, they had a nice crunch to them. The Wood Ears were wood ears. They did taste like trees. Their Tofu Fish was my favorite. It tasted like fish balls you get at dimsum. If you like fish, you should try these. The quail eggs came hardboiled in the Chili broth. Just like all quail eggs, it was very rich. The chili broth that it came with had nice flavor. I think it's from a packet though, not home made. It tasted like the broth from instant Korean ramen. I guess that's why it's so cheap. Their dumplings tasted okay. The skin wasn't light and delicate but rather tough and chewy. Overall, the price is cheap, and the food tastes cheap. I must admit though, for cheap, snack-like foods, it sure is tasty. I give it around 3.75 stars.

Saw this place while stopping by Quickly in the same shopping center for a bubble tea to go. Being primarily a carnivore, I had to check it out. The menu is extensive, including plenty of other tasty Taiwanese eats besides kabobs. Since I wasn't particularly hungry, I only got 3 kabobs ($1 each!) to go - lamb, chicken, and beef, and all turned out to be delicious. I'll definitely be back reeeal soon to try the rest of the menu.

Like the others before me who reviewed this place, I came in because I wanted Quickly. The inside itself had 3 tables, 2 high tables with high chairs, so it was a nice set-up for small groups of friends who want meat on sticks. I asked the chef/waiter what he recommended. He told me that the lamb, fish tofu, and pan-fried squid are the most frequently ordered. He also explained to me the different styles the meat and vegetables were cooked while on the sticks: chargrilled, with or without numbing spice, or pan-fried. I ordered the lamb and fish tofu, chargrilled, without spice, chicken heart and winter melon, chargrilled with spice, and the pan-fried squid. The lamb was tasty, nicely marinated and spiced with chili flakes and cumin. The fish tofu also good, nicely seasoned, not too spicy. The chicken heart and winter melon were in a soup that was suppose to be the spice, but I drank it and it was not that spicy. It was a good broth, but maybe too much salt. The chicken hearts were small, as if they've been sitting out and loss a lot of the fluid or were from elderly chickens. Overall, I would come back and try again. The have a large menu and prices are reasonable that you want to try it all. The store also has a window behind the counter, It may seem like a mirror, but it's NOT a mirror. It's a little disturbing, but you can assume the role of public health officials and watch them cook and see if they use sanitary practices. I just sat and watched TV.

Highly recommend for a kabob. We went there at about 12am it is still open. Very authentic Beijing style.

This place is neat. The items on the menu are exotic! This is a great place to come for a late night snack with friends who drink. They close at midnight. The food is dirty cheap. You pick a little here and there. The size is enough to sample the dish. If you like it, order more. The menu is a check list. The soup string class was confusing but it's basically you pick your own veggies and meat to go in a bowl of hot broth. Gotta try the lamb and beef kabobs. The chicken jane is chicken gizzard if that is your thing. The chicken heart was pretty soft and lean. If you want to be daring, try the ox penis and sheep tespicular. Cheers!

I also stopped by here on a Quickly run...mostly because I was curious. The decor is sparse and judging from the typos in the menu i got the feeling it was gonna be "authentic chinese" They mostly have skewered meats on the menu. You can choose from lamb, beef, fishballs, squid, etc... The weird thing was that the corn was acually more expensive than any of the meat items. They're pretty similar to the ones I used to get in NYC. They sprinkle pepper flakes on all the items and you can tell them to make it insanely spicy or just kinda spicy. I wouldn't say the food was bad, but I didn't particularly enjoy it. The corn was heavily spiced which is fine, but almost had a butane smell emanating from it. The meats were also a bit mealy and dry. Meh....

The first time we ventured here, we pigged out and ended up spending almost $55 for most items that range from $1 to $2. With a group of picky eaters, this place satisfied all. From the lamb kabobs to the beef and rice, we left with our stomachs full and our beds awaiting our arrival. So I decided to take my husband back again recently and Beijings did not disappoint. We ordered the lamb kabob, charcoal chicken wings on a stick, corn on the cob and fried rice with egg. Everything was seasoned wonderfully. We can't wait for our next visit.

Ate dinner at Te Wei on 10/30/12... Food: Grilled kabobs are the specialty of Te Wei, and the menu is largely focused on the many kabob choices: lamb, chicken, chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, beef, sausage, shrimp, etc... I ordered 1 each of the lamb, beef & chicken gizzard kabobs. All were tasty, albeit slightly over-spiced (with five spice, I believe). But, at a ridiculously cheap $1.00 per kabob, that becomes a non-factor... I also ordered a baked wheat cake filled with red bean paste... this was ho-hum, the cake itself being dry and having only a very small amount of red bean paste inside (Chef Liu does a MUCH better version of this), and a baked wheat cake with pork - which, interestingly enough, came out looking like a mini pork sandwich - the pork itself was juicy, but the cake, err bun(?) was bland and dry. Service: One waiter (the owner?), was working the small room AND cooking at the same time. Having to juggle both jobs could not be easy.... yet, he did an acceptable job of it. Atmosphere: A very small operation tucked into a nondescript shopping plaza on Buford Hwy..... Te Wei is the name on the signage at the entrance to the plaza, but "Bei Jing Kabob" is the name posted above the restaurant itself.... hmmm.... Not sure what to make of that... The interior of Te Wei/Bei Jing is a small dining room of maybe 10 tables, all of which sport a McDonald's style plastic/formica/steel look. Oh, and they do have free wi-fi, AND they are open LATE - Midnight during the week and 1AM on Fri & Sat.!! Overall: Te Wei is a nice place to stop into for a quick (and cheap) bite, but I wouldn't drag a group of friends in there for a multi-course full-blown dinner... it's not that kind of place... Overall Rating: 3 & 1/2 stars

A lot of people ask me where to find authentic Chinese food. This is it! I've never found a better one in Atlanta. My favorite is actually the service. The owner is a very nice lady. She always makes me feel like home here. Highly recommended!!!!
