About Fire Up the BBQ 点燃烧烤

Fire Up the BBQ 点燃烧烤 is a restaurant on London Rd in Kingston Upon Thames, with a menu of 161 dishes spanning hot pot, skewers, and noodle soups. Dishes include 锡纸麻婆豆腐, 碳烤鸡架, and 毛肚锅, alongside skewers, garlic aubergine, and street-style fried rice. The BBQ portion of the menu runs at set times rather than throughout service, so grilled items like the skewers and 碳烤鱿鱼 are best sought during those hours. Staff will walk unfamiliar customers through the menu on request. Seating is walk-in, with no reservations taken. Portions run generous, and the skewers in particular arrive sized for sharing.

Good to know

“Fire Up the BBQ brings the vibrant and flavorful tradition of Northeast Chinese BBQ, known as "Chuan'r," to our local community. We specialize in marinated meat skewers, grilled to perfection over charcoal, offering a unique and authentic dining experience.”

Customer Review Summary

Skewers draw the most mentions, with lamb skewers and grilled chicken wings described as charcoal-grilled and crispy outside, juicy inside. Close behind are the garlic aubergine, beef noodles and street-style fried rice, with big portions at a budget-friendly price. One reviewer reports sour, bad-smelling squid tentacles and burnt, overcooked beef ribs. Another notes the BBQ menu is not available all the time.

    “Food is very well budget-friendly and delicious. The skewers are quite big. Highly recommend the garlic aubergine, skewers, beef noodles and street-style fried rice. Been here multiple times because really like the food and the price!”
  • David
    “Fantastic authentic Chinese BBQ! The grilled chicken wings and lamb skewers were absolutely amazing. They had that authentic charcoal-grilled flavor, with the chicken wings perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and incredibly aromatic. The lamb skewers were tender, well-seasoned, and packed with smoky BBQ goodness. My kids absolutely loved the food and ate so much! Everything was fresh and delicious, and we all had a wonderful meal. We'll definitely be back again. Highly recommend!”

    “Staff are really nice and will explain the menu to you if you’re not familiar. Important thing to note is that the BBQ menu is not available all the time. Portions are quite big and filling. Definitely give it a go :)”
  • P Luo
    “Every time I come here, my heart feels home and happy. All the chefs and services are amazing and they try their hardest. Consistency is a hallmark of a good restaurant. Alongside consistency, the continuous thinking and fine-tuning of the dishes, that strive to do better with what can be done, alongside consistency, is truly a rare gem in hospitality. Chef Michael is not only consistent at his excellent grills on menu, but also innovates and continuously explores new techniques and textures. In this difficult economic climate, my respect goes to the chef and restaurant team. My very best to you all!”
  • Paul James Realista

The whole experience feels relaxed and casual, making it easy to just enjoy good food and good company. Definitely a great little spot for a laid-back night out.”
