Late Night Chinese BBQ

Open late in the U District — charcoal grill still hot past 9pm

Searching for Chinese BBQ in Seattle or late night Chinese food near UW? Our charcoal grill runs when other U District kitchens have already closed — lamb skewers, Xinjiang red-willow lamb kebabs, grilled whole wings and charcoal biscuits, fresh off the fire.

Find us on The Ave (University Way), walking distance from the UW campus — the go-to answer for "Chinese barbecue near me" and "open late near me" after 9pm.

Only Here

Roujiamo, lamb paomo & liangpi — Shaanxi classics you won't find elsewhere in Seattle

Roujiamo (the original Chinese hamburger), lamb paomo with hand-torn baijimo bread, steamed cold-skin liangpi noodles in hot-sour sauce, fresh hand-pulled noodle dough to take home and cook, and house-made soy milk — dishes most Seattle Chinese menus simply don't carry.

Perfect for group dining, family-style dinners, student lunches and catering near the UW campus.
