My bf and I are crazy in love with beef jerky.  But unfortunately, we’ve never had fresh ones before because we always get the packaged ones from the store.  But my god, when you step foot inside the shop you’ll see all the jerky goodness inside! Mm!! Too bad I didn’t get a picture inside because I was so overwhelmed by its strong spicy and sweet aroma.  Anyways, we decided to get the 1/4 of the spicy beef and pork jerky to go since you can’t really sit and eat there.

Even after a long trip back home in brooklyn, the jerkies are still warm!! Yess.  Anyways, this is the spicy pork jerky and it’s my first time having pork jerky.  This jerky is very soft since it’s fresh, and it made it easy to eat.  See even though it’s spicy, I honestly didn’t think it would be that spicy because it looks pretty sweet! But goodness, it was incredibly spicy!  When my father took a bite of this, he was running to the kitchen for water because it was that fiery! Even though it burns, it was a very good pork jerky and it tastes a little sweet and it’s very spicy and tender as well!

Recommended!

  This is the spicy beef jerky.  Wow, this is the best beef jerky I have ever heard.  This isn’t as overwhelmingly spicy as the pork, which is perfect for me.  It’s warm, very sweet (probably they added a honey glaze) and subtly salted.  I love it.  You have to definitely try it for yourself!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This isn’t a restaurant so I couldn’t find the health inspection results.  But don’t worry, there’s a lot of people working in there so I’m sure they keep it in tip top shape! =)

    Beef jerky seems to be popular everywhere!
    A Japanese friend of mine brought me Yak jerky from Tibet two weeks ago!
    I was a bit apprehensive at first, but it actually proved to be really tasty, especially cut in small pieces and aded to a salad!
    Cheers,
