Bundles laid straight on the grate until the edges char and the aroma lifts — the northern skewer-stand classic regulars always add.
Slow-charred until smoky with a little snap left — the palate-cleaner between skewers.
Whole wings on the grill, skin marked and crisp, juice locked in — a steady diner favourite.
Fried crisp, dusted with spicy salt, no fuss — a dish reviewers call out by name.

Charcoal & late nights
Northern Chinese barbecue is charcoal craft: lamb skewers ordered by the handful, leeks, green beans and eggplant laid straight on the grate, with Szechuan favourites from the kitchen alongside. The menu runs bilingual from end to end — Chinese for the homesick, English for the neighbours; one menu, both tables welcome.
The grill sits on Princess Street in downtown Kingston, and evenings are when it comes alive — diners describe it as lively at night, and on Fridays and Saturdays it runs late, until 10 p.m. If you have been missing skewer nights, the door is right on the main street.
