Angie Lau: Awesome ribs! Love the pulled pork and brisket too. Def really good BBQ!
Megan Baker: You can't go wrong with the Tres Niños (pulled pork, ribs, AND brisket) with a double side of Syracuse style salt potatoes, but they'll have to roll you out the door.
Paddy: Really good BBQ and soul food place on the very west side of the city. We got a 3 meat combo plate. Brisket was just like you'd find in Texas, sausage was moist and tasty and the ribs were great too.

Teresa: Kind of obsessed with this place. My faves: pork pancake, spicy beef brisket hui mei, big tray of chicken (with noodles), baby bok choy & cold cucumbers. The owner is really nice & allows for BYOB!
Ray Lin: The grungier cousin to Xi'ans, they offer similar hand-pulled noodles. Try the beef brisket noodle soup and start off with the soup dumplings. Limited seating, so come early.
