“ Such a chill spot to hang out and enjoy good, quick bites. I love how this place provides individual five spice, cumin, and salt shakers on each table. Really gives the eater the power to season to taste--great for people who prefer extra spice like me. Several dishes, Mixed Mushrooms and Baked Mussels for example, come with heavy dollops of garlic, which is how garlic should always be in personal opinion. Love the Tofu Skin. It feels like a great potato chip alternative. So light and crispy. Also really enjoy the BBQ Eggplant. I didn't speak Chinese with the workers, but simply pointing at the menu and stating the quantity of skewers I wanted worked perfectly. I will note, I am surprised by the lack of pork options. There is only one or two if I remember correctly. Wanted to try BBQ Crispy Pork (assuming it is pork belly) but when I visited near 7pm on a Friday night, it was sold out. ”
“ Great spot for midnight snack. It can be packed at times and a lot of the food might not be available but def a cheap eats place. ”
“ The bbq is okay, decent. Lamb is a little bit too salty for me. Highlights is the mussels (half dozen for 11). Small shop, pretty cozy, and attentive servers. ”
“ First time trying Simon's bbq. Random adventure with my boyfriend. We walked inside at 2:30am and the place was packed! Google maps stated they closed at 3am however they actually don't close until 3:30am. We ordered the beef, bbq chicken, Malaysian sausage, chicken wings, bbq shrimp and meat balls. The food was very flavorful especially the shrimp! It was our first time trying the iced tea and the green tea and omg I am addicted. We took some food to go and the food was delicious the next day. Two things I didn't like about Simons. Firstly, the lamb and crispy chicken weren't available on the menu. However, since we went so late I figured that could've been a reason they were sold out. Secondly, my man went to pay with his DEBIT card and they charged a processing fee and sales tax which added $10 on the bill. Merchants can only charge CREDIT cards for processing fees. Technically we were illegally. The staff was very accommodating and attentive. We were the only African Americans in the restaurant but they made us feel welcomed. Already planning our next trip back to Simon's bbq! ”
“ If you're a fan of stick food, this will be your heaven open until 3 am daily I find myself craving Simon's almost everyday. The eggplant, squid and rice cakes are the must-haves here. The seasoning is crack, I can taste cumin and paprika but the rest is a mystery and it's just so good! ”
“ If you are looking for a savory, hot, late-night snack, Simons BBQ is the perfect spot. I came here around 11 pm and was seated immediately after they checked vaccination cards. Their menu was extensive, offering a large variety of meats and vegetables. We ended up ordering about 30 sticks, including the bbq beef, squid tentacles, rice cakes, fish tofu, bacon and mushroom, and squid body. We also got the sweet potato and eggplant, which were both delicious. I especially liked the eggplant because of the bbq sauce they dressed it with and it was grilled to perfection. Being truthfully honest, I enjoyed all the skewers because I cannot get enough of their sauce which was smoky, savory, and sweet. My favorite had to be the beef skewers because of how juicy the meat was and was not dry at all. I will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area because i can order a couple skewers as a small snack or a lot to fill me up as a meal. Also, the food comes out relatively fast, so it is convenient if you're really hungry. Overall, I really recommend trying this place out if you have never tried Chinese bbq before. ”
“ Legit authentic Hong Kong style late night skewer spot. Fresh ingredients, bold delicious flavors, an owner whose been running this business for more than a decade starting from a street cart. Recommend the fish tofu, ribs, chicken wings, and eggplant. ”
“ Simon says come pick up some late night snacks. I enjoy occasional last minute midnight dates when the hubby gets off his night shifts, even if it's a short 15 minute trip to pick up midnight munchies. Our must haves: Bacon wrapped mushroom Beef Eggplant Korean rice cake Squid tentacles Opens late. Cheap. Guilty pleasures. ”
“ (2/21/2020) I have been to this place countless of times mainly because of the BYOB. The food is good as well and skewers are reasonably priced and were all perfectly cooked and delicious. A great late night place! ”
