Beijing Kabobs

This is REAL beijingers’ food! We originally wanted to find a place after karaōke, 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)!

Kinda overpriced. The kababs are good but the hotspot is tasteless :/​overall good service and authentic Beijing food!

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 décor 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 :)

So, I’ll start out with the positive: the food is good. However, if you want the most unbelievably rude service imaginable, look no further, you’ve found your place.
I’ve been going to this place for approximately 2 years. One day, however, I ordered a dish I never received. When I politely informed the server that I had not received my food, she rudely insisted that she had put it on the table while I was in the bathroom and that my girlfriend must have eaten it. Mind you, this was $ 4 worth of tofu and enough that there’s no way you would have eaten it in 4 minutes and forgotten about it. I ask again for my food and she begins yelling at me that we had received the food. We try one more time to get the food and end up getting yelled at over and over again. Basically, the entire restaurant heard us being accused of stealing $ 4 of food. Why on earth a long time loyal customer would try to steal $ 4 worth of tofu is beyond me. What felt like an eternity later, the cook finally came out and told us he would make us the tofu. It might also be worth noting that they insulted my girlfriend (in a racist manner) in Chinese (she is not Chinese) to my face with her sitting there. Incredibly rude and disrespectful.
This is by far the worst I’ve ever been treated at a restaurant. I don’t think I’ve even been treated that rudely by a complete stranger in my life. I strongly recommend eating anywhere else because if they forget your food, you will be yelled at and insulted for the rest of your meal.

Lamb skew (羊肉串）is pretty good! Other stuff is ok though. Quick and good service.

Horrible experience! So much freaking MSG in kabobs and lamb soup, my bf and I both got light l-​headed before even leaving the restaurant. Of course we got super dehydrated after leaving… If you want authentic clean Chinese kabobs, try Kabobs House in Duluth. Also the boss lady always has an odd attitude

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

Kind of a ripoff for whAt you’re getting. Squid kabob is sixty cents, but u only get three tiny pieces of squid. Like literally each piece was the size of a dime. Also icing on the cake: the waitress (looks like she’s the owner) was extremely rude and lacked customer service. She is probably scaring customers from coming back. Oh and that top 100 Chinese restaurant banner is fake. You actually pay money to get that banner at your restaurant so it’s actually not legit. I will not be coming back.

My husband LOVED their beef noodles. Their lamb bun was awesome, too. We are on our way taking my cousin and his friend to have some snacks now.

I given –20 stars absolutely disgusting I took one of my friends with me today and when we came back home we both regurgitated everything and we are sick to our stomach I wander why is this place still open I am sure if the health department will inspect this place they will shut it down disgusting food disgusting service the table smells like raw meat the grill in front of you is all rusted and everything is filthy and they reuse their dispensable barbecue sticks over and over again just too many to list you have to check it out for yourself and if you’re stupid enough to dine there you deserve getting sick I really wonder why they don’t shut this kind of places down there are too many of them on Buford Highway they make a bad name for Chinese food or Chinese barbecue in this case is

Tried several kabobs. meh. If you need ox penis kabob, it is a bargain here at $ 5. It is getting very hard to find this pop in your mouth delight. The leek pork dumplings were home made, but meh. Not sure if we will come again…

Great place for snacking.
Don’t be fool by the cheap prices. Although a skewer could cost you only $ 1, there is a very small amount of meat on the skewer.
Food was subpar. Didn’t leave me satisfied.

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.

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.

I give it 3 stars, because I prefer a more composed dishes than a bunch of snack dishes found here. The food, however, tasted different and authentic, very interesting in a good way. I think this place would be good for late night outings or a filler before actual dinner meet ups.

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!

This place brings me back to street vendors in China, making fresh lamb kabobs for cheeeeeap. They’re obviously a bit more expensive here than they were in China, but you won’t really find any place that tastes as authentic. This is the real deal.
Lamb kabob. Do it.

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 Unilocalers recommend kochi maru compared to this place, you may want to heed to their wisdom.
3 stars

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.

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. :)

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 :
Entrée’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.

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 entrée
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 Café 101) up the street. They are cold, thin slices of marinated beef in a spicy Sichuan oil. Delicious!
The special Chinese dough entrée 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.

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.
