Casual Chinese joint with street food. Came here for lunch with my parents on a Sunday around noon and there was no wait, but there were more people that came in afterwards. The skewers are literally “little” but you get a lot (20) to an order, so I think it balances out. They cook it and there’s a little hot plate with a tiny flame to keep the food warm at your table, but it didn’t really do its job. Nonetheless, the food was tasty and the decor was interesting. The scallops had a nice broth, and the pineapple hot dog was well-seasoned. We got the golden hot pot and that was my favorite dish - it came with a lot of different toppings and was a good portion for the 3 of us. The calamari was another standout, and was juicy and crispy.

This place was on my bucket list of local food near me. Sadly I cant give half stars, or I would have given it a 3.5 stars.Skewers ordered:-Corn-Beef Belly-Pork Belly-Lamb-Chicken SkinAlso ordered a Clam VermicelliI would highly recommend the chicken skin, it has a different flavor that just feels right. The corn skewer is a big skip, not sure why I saw many people ordered it, they taste like canned corn, not worth it. The rest of the skewers are alright but they use the same seasoning for everything, so it was kinda homogenized.The clam vermicelli had a great sauce? soup base that it came in. The clam itself was meh, not sure if its live or frozen ones, but they have a chance to have sand or what not in it, so not filtered out.I would come again if it wasnt for the wait to enter. Took about 1.25-1.5 hrs to actually get seated as the table turnover rate is slow and the store is pretty small.

Great and beyond our expectation!Food - everything tasted great, except that personally Im not a fan of sugar over meat and corns so we asked for no sugar on top. This place is Szechuan style so keep in mind asking for less spicy if you cant handle it. However the food got cold a little fast because the iron plate was not heated. It seemed like they could heat it up but somehow it was not.Staff - servers were awesome! They were fast, friendly, and accommodating. So we went there for a BBF gathering when a friend from NY was visiting. It was a week after my birthday so we werent really celebrating. On a toast my friends wished me belated happy birthday and obviously a server heard it. Five minutes later she brought a dessert on-the-house and whished me happy birthday. I really did not expect it and felt so warm.

Authentic Chinese skewers. Lamb skewer is good. Their hot pots are also worth trying.Service here has always been attentive. (Do not expect a 5-star hotel service because this type of food usually exist on street side.) They are attentive as in they will check in periodically for food/plate/drinks.Atmosphere - fabulous. Its best for drinking with friends or family.

Pretty good Northern Chinese-style BBQ skewers place. The quality of the meat seems much better than other places in the area. The taste of the meat tastes more clean. The cucumber salad is with sesame oil and garlic is really refreshing!

Great place to hang out with friends with drinks, appetizers, and conversation. The skewers were flavorful and I enjoyed the din in experience. Some skewer options include 20 pieces per order. It may look like a lot but the meat on the stick is very little and mostly fat. So mostly the order comes down to like 8-10 pieces. That’s the downside of this place. I stay away from the lamb skewers.

Another great option for Chinese BBQ skewers. One hour wait on Saturday evening

This place makes the skewers one-bite amount and that’s why each item comes with 10-20 skewers. The skewers are good and juicy (remember to choose mild or non spicy if you don’t eat spicy)- bring a friend or two to enjoy the variety of skewers. Other items are also good; like the smoked whole chicken or the golden pot.The place is normally not too busy since lots of people order to go, but you can call in to reserve a spot in advance.

Really cool place for friends gathering.Food is fantastic. Everything grilled just right and serve in front of you. You can also order some beer to go along with it. It never goes wrong.I like to order their cucumber as a refreshing appetizer. Helps me and my friends to order more.Also we always like to order their garlic shrimp. Super delicious.There are lots of seats inside but due to COVID they only provide limited seats.Reservation highly recommended. There is always lots of people line up in front of it. Pick up for most but due to the limited seats, it is safer to call first and you can enjoy a great time with your friends and colleges.Parking lots is busy but still can find space in 5-10 mins.
