陈记烧烤Chen's Charcoal BBQ

Cumin, chili, charcoal and a folding table. We are a roaming skewer stall — no walls, no fixed address, no reservations.

We set up where the night is loud and the line is long, fan the coals till midnight, then disappear. Catch us while the embers are hot.

怎么回事 · The Stall

没有店面No storefront.
Only smoke.

Chen's started with one drum grill, a bag of charcoal, and a recipe for cumin-lamb skewers carried over from a night market back home. We never opened a restaurant — and we never plan to.

Instead we pop up: a parking lot here, a street festival there, a courtyard the week after. When the coals are lit, a paper sign goes up and the line forms. When the last skewer is gone, we pack the table and vanish into the dark.

熊猫节Two-time
Panda Fest vendor

When the Panda Fest crowd wants the wildest skewer on the lot, they line up at ours — whole grilled squid and chili-glazed claws, straight off the coals.

Our first Panda Fest

We hauled the drum grill out to our first-ever Panda Fest and sold out of lamb skewers before sundown. The smoke trail became the directions.

Invited back the next year

They asked us back. We doubled the grills, added chicken hearts and charred eggplant, and the line wrapped the block twice. Our proudest char yet.

📍 Panda Fest · Edition Two

Caught us at the fest and can't stop thinking about it? Same skewers. New pop-up. Different night.
