Lions Gate Grill 1000 8th Avenue, Manhattan, New York,

"Absolutely delicious food here! Ordered the popcorn chicken, bbq chicken skewers, and the beef malatong. Having been to a skewer shop in China, I can confirm these were very authentic- and very delicious! They brought back memories of the skewers there that I had almost forgotten! The popcorn chicken was just as delicious, and the spicy mayo sauce they came with was delectable! The beef malatong was the cherry on top, rich and delicious broth, loaded with very thinly sliced savory beef and the perfect amount of yummy vegetables. Cannot recommend highly enough! The underground market can be found in the tunnel down to the subway, and it's well worth the trip down here for this wonderful little restaurant."

"We were nicely surprised. The food is very authentic and prepared timely. The malatang tastes great. The popcorn chicken and BBQ skewers are better than expected. Would come back again."

"Don't overlook this delicious comfort food! Easy to miss this one as you need to go down stairs from street level to an underground food court. They have some run-of-the-mill rice plates but where they really shine is their malatong- an (optionally) spicy, hearty pot chock full of noodles, veggies, and a meat of your choosing. I was skeptical at first about the popcorn chicken for the price but when I tried it after a few visits here, I was delighted to find the helping was generous and full of flavor. It comes with a spicy mayo for dipping as well. Quick, affordable, authentic, and delicious."

"I would have never known about this place unless I was curious as to what the underground turnstile market was & this place didn’t disappoint at all honestly. Everything tasted good and it’s very centrally located to everything. Don’t go for the over priced small hot dog stands outside in Columbus Circle when you can get something from here!"

"Very standard Mala Food (spicy Chinese food). I ordered a spicy fish that had seaweed, crystal noodle, potato slices, fish and one rice. You can choose the level of spiciness."
